Local Scouts get highest. By Greg Huneault the News Two Terrace Bay teenagers were accorded the highest honour in Canadian Scouting recently when they were presented with the . Chief Scout's Award at a ceremony at Thunder Bay. Darren Anderson, a 13-year-old who has achieved this honour since joining the local scouting move- ment only two years ago, and 14- year-old Bill Hopper, a 6 year vet- eran who started .as a Beaver, received their awards on June 10. - On behalf of Jeanne Sauve, Governor General and Chief Scout of Canada, His Honour John Wright and His Worship Mayor Jack Masters of the City. of Thunder Bay presented the boys with a plaque commemorating their proud achievement. Recipients of the Chief Scout's Award, instituted in 1973, are judged to exemplify principles of Scouting through leadership, vol- untary service to the community and outdoor skills. Darren and Bill have achieved many of the badges created by the Scout movement to indicate skills and knowledge attained in many fields. As part of their eligibility requirements for this award, the boys said they donated between two and 1/2 to three hours each Bill Hopper (left) and Darren Anderson proudly dis- play their national rewards. week to shovel snow at the Terrace Bay Recreation Centre and to help with maintenance and cleaning. Dean Main, Terrace Bay recre- ation coordinator, said the two Scouts donated 50 hours each toward various tasks.

She maintains that the technology is available and ultimately cheaper than processes used in most North American pulp and paper mills. The Greenpeace mission will also pressure politicians into devel- oping specific programs to combat polluters by citing a U.S.-Canada pact designed to control industrial polluters. Both countries signed a second Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement in 1978 (the original agreement was signed in 1972). Despite its progressive appearance on paper, it is criticized as a hollow and ineffective agreement. Differences in water quality stan- dards between the affected states and Ontario have led to little coor- dination and corrective measures. McLean said the group will tes- tify before a congressional sub- committee in two weeks, where they will try to bring this issue to light. As for direct action demonstra- tions, McLean said that they don't always work. Two days after the Beluga left port in Montreal, two Greenpeace activists scaled the smokestack of an ALCAN-owned aluminum smelter at the headwaters of the Seguenay River. They draped a banner reading "ALCAN/Cancer --Greenpeace." The day after the group spoke to residents of Terrace Bay, two activists draped a sign on a mill stack in Thunder Bay. "We are oriented to the press," McLean admitted to the Terrace Bay audience, "but sometimes when we do that we shoot our- selves in the foot and the issue gets lost." To many residents of Terrace Bay, however, the issue appears to be quite relevant and important. tiative to volunteer their time and added that they have contributed "very much." -- In addition to their volunteer work at the recreation centre, the boys are assistant leaders with the local Scout troupe. The two winners of the award said they enjoy doing many excit- ing things since joining Scouts, par- ticularly "camping everywhere," according to Bill.

Venturers are between the ages of 14 and 18, and are usually former Boy Cubs and Scouts. They said they are trying to get an adult to help start or lead the local group, but judging these young~men, they need only mini- mal guidance and encouragement.
