Hanley's goal, the game's Defenceman Tim Hanley Terrace Bay native is solid on defence in his first year third, came 1:46 into the sec- ond period of LSSU's 8-1 vic- tory over the Wildcats. "He's only one of two fresh- man who have played in every game this year," said the Uni- versity's Sports Information Director Scott Monaghan. "He's been one of our stead- iest young guys." Monaghan also said Han- ley's plus/minus rating of plus 5 after nine games so far this season is one of the best on the entire team. "There's four guys ahead of him, and two or three tied with him, but that's a pretty solid defenceman," Monaghan said. The Lakers took on Miami University in a two game series last weekend. Donation to seminary Terrace Bay Council #3554 of the Knights of Columbus have contributed $1000 toward the Louis G. Salini Knights of Columbus Burse for Seminarians, in honour of Past Deputy Louis Salini. Nineteen ninety-one marks the anniversary of the discov- ery of America by Christopher Columbus, and the burse is established to recognize the arrival of Christianity in the Americas. Local community futures office hopes for funding extension continued from page 1 advice and direction to the Business Development Centres (BDCs), who themselves were expected to be self-sufficient within five years." Dickson said the government realized that although many of the programs and BDCs were successful, self-sufficiency would take longer. "The intent now is that those that are re-selected (for an additional five years) are the ones that have a need and have been successful," she said. The new plan is that the BDCs should be self-sufficient at the end of their 10th year of operation, Dickson said. According to a press release from Employment and Immi- gration Canada, 221 communi- ty futures offices --represent- ing 6.5 million rural Canadians out of .a possible 10 million--have been estab- lished. Their mandate is to "help small towns and remote com- munities face serious long-term employment problems." Since starting up in 1988, the Schreiber Terrace Bay Office has sponsored training programs and supported the Tourism Information centre, "both financially and through representation on the Tourism Committee," Dickson said. They have also assisted Rossport in obtaining funding from the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines by putting up the 25 per cent con- tribution necessary to access Ministry funding of 75 per cent for eligible projects. "Unlike Schreiber and Ter- race Bay, Rossport doesn't have a tax base to raise the funds themselves," Dickson said. fi @: Dok \s / Thank You The Staff of the McCausland Hospital wish to say Thank you to all those who bought "McCausland Makes It", Vol. II Cookbooks.

Currently, the Futures office is planning to apply to North- em Development and Mines for funding to study "'the recreation and tourism potential of the Long Lake/Aguasabon River," she said.

We've got the terms of reference completed, and we'll soon be ready to put them to council." One of the primary goals of Community Futures was estab- lishing the Business Develop- ment Centre (BDC), currently headed by Mary Long. According to BDC records, which they must submit to the government each year to re- qualify for funding, 48 full time and 41 part time jobs have been created as a result of BDC investment since 1988. In 1991 alone, as of Aug. 31, the BDC has created 23 full time and 16 part time jobs, as a result of an investment of $423, 500. Out of a total investment of $745,000, only $4,868.46 has been written off as bad debts. Despite the statistics, there is a chance that funding will be denied to the local Community Futures and BDC Office. According to Employment and Immigration, the futures offices should be located "in areas of Canada experiencing . high levels of unemployment." When the local office opened, high unemployment was problem, Dickson said. "Between 1986 and 1987, Kimberly Clark laid off 300 people," she said. "The federal government responded by saying that this program might help your com- munities." But four years later, the employment situation has stabi- lized, so Schreiber and Terrace Bay no longer has the prerequi- site for having a futures office. But Dickson is still hopeful. "Who knows how much pri- ority they're going to put on UIC stats?" Dickson said. She said that with the office's track record, she's opti- mistic the mandate of both Community Futures and the Business Development Centre will be extended beyond 1993. | -- The snowmobile season is here and we wish to emphasize the safety aspects of this sport. Many roads used by snowmobiles in our mill area have gates or cable barriers which could cause injury or death to careless snowmobile operators and damage to their vehicles. We wish to remind everyone of these potential hazards and emphasize the need for care and common sense in snowmobiling. Please help all of us who work at Kimberly-Clark ensure that safety is a way of life, on and ojj the job, throughout our entire community. TO ALL Kimberly-Clark Canada Inc.
