Terrace Bay Schreiber Wednesday, July 3, 1985 Public Libra ry TERRACE BAY, ONT POT 2wo M C «G ol FN, Vol. 20, No, 35 Serving Terrace Bay, Schreiber and Rossport a A parting message It is with profound regret that I have submitted my resignation as Reeve of the Township of Terrace Bay. My six and a half years on this Council have been some of the best years of my life. I owe the people of Terrace Bay a lot. When I first summoned up enough nerve to run the first time, I wanted to do something to open up land ownership and-to open up Municipal Government. Not everything I wanted to happen,. has, but I think I , can be satisfied that a lot of good things have happen- ed. This fall a final agree- ment on land access will be signed with Kimberly Clark. It is something that's been worked on for a long time and we can all be proud of the work done . on this. -ontinued on page I1 Chapman in the running Councillor Ollie Chap- man has officially an- nounced her candidacy for Reeve of Terrace Bay in the November election.

And, whereas a con- siderable body of other ex- pert opinion and evidence raises similar concerns, therefore be it resolved that The Lake Superior Board of Education not proceed at this time to independently retrofit seat belts on school buses under contract and used within its jurisdiction." : The board will continue to monitor the developments in the area of seat belts on school buses.
