Terrace Ba Schreiber y Public Library , ONT. CE BAY For evo C.cuToPae Wednesday, August 28, 1985 Vol. 20, No. 42 Serving Terrace Bay, Schreiber and Rossport a0" Local youngsters place high at Conservatory exams by David Carswell Four young = area residents have. plenty to be proud of. Recently three young ladies from Terrace Bay and one _ from Schreiber took their Royal Conservatory of Music, grade | piano exams. Ashley Reiley of Schreiber and Leanne Roberts of Terrace Bay passed with honours (over 70) and Lee-Ann Fenton and Jennifer Gould of Ter- race Bay both passed with high honours. All four are students of Terrace Bay resident Brigit Borrie. Borrie originally learned to play the piano in Denmark and _ began teaching in Sarnia, On- race Bay five years ago and began teaching area students one year later. "I'm very proud of them (the four students) and they all want to continue their studies," explained Borrie. "'Learning to play the piano well is a long pro- cess, it is hard work, but it also has to be fun."' Mrs. Borrie used to be a kindergarten teacher. She says she loves kids and she - loves music, so teaching piano is the perfect mix for her. In order to keep .the students interested she tries to find music that they will enjoy. EB: "I enjoy all styles of music, unless it's just noise,. and although _ through the Conservatory, students must know the classics, I also teach them popular music as well."' In the Conservatory system there are 10 grades and students are graded during exams. The ad- judicators don't go easy on the students by any stretch of the imagination. Mrs. Borrie .says she will probably have a cou- ple of students ready for the next exams as well. 'On behalf of the com- munity. congratulations to the students who just pass- ed their exams and good luck to those who are go- ing to take them next time around. As well, a tip of the hat, for a job well done to Brigit Borrie. Past fall fairs have been huge successes. This year should be no. different if early indications are correct. Fall fair preparations in full swing By David Carswell According to Terry Bryson, Recreation Co- ordinator for Terrace Bay, Preparations for the up- coming Fall Fair are sur- passing all previous expec- tations. "We have room on the floor for 74 tables and we have already booked 70," commented Bryson, "we even have 15 to 20 new displays, both local and_out-of-town."' The 4th Annual Fall Fair _ will be held at the Terrace Security patrols of fishing spot Ontario Hydro reminds sportsmen in the Terrace Bay/Schreiber area that fishing is not permitted within fenced areas at Aguasabon Generating Station. At this time of the year pink salmon run prompts an increase in trespassing and vandalism at this site. In 1983 sturdy wire fenc- ing was installed surroun- ding the platform over the tailrace area to prevent ac- cess to this fishing spot. The tailrace waters are turbulent and may vary in intensity, without notice. Ontario Hydro security has increased their patrols and is working with Ministry of Natural Resources personnel and the Terrace Bay Police Department. to ensure public safety. The public is advised that Ontario Hydro will prosecute under the 'Trespass to Property Act", if access is made to the fenced area. Bay Recreation Centre on September 15, from. 12 noon until 6 p.m. and the deadline to book booth space is August 31. Booths consist of an 8'x8' area and an 8° table, and it only costs $5. "*In the event that we fill the floor area, we'll move into other areas of the rec. centre," explained Bryson, "'our goal is to one day fill the entire building."' This year the Fall Fair will also feature a display from the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. Their mini-Science show will be set up for three days in the multi-purpose room. The theme of the fair this year is "'Year of the Youth"' and there will be prizes for the three best decorated booths. There will be exhibiters from Wawa, Thunder Bay, Marathon, Manitouwadge, Schreiber and Terrace Bay. Anyone else interested in having a booth is encourag- ed to contact the recreation office. The business com- munity is invited to par- ticipate but are reminded that they cannot sell, but can display new items or current lines. The organizers are very optimistic about the Fall Fair and it looks like it's going to be the kind of event the entire communi- ty can get involved in and have a great time while they're at it. It's that time of year again. Soon classrooms will be filling up and so will the bike racks. School Starts September 3rd. Do you have diabetes... a are you sure? The Canadian Diabetes Association is waging a fall public awareness campaign to combat common misconceptions about diabetes. More than 450,000 residents of Ontario have diabetes, and that number is climbing at the alarming rate of 6/each year. In fact, it is estimated that by the year 2000, every family in Canada will be affected. This substantial increase presents Canadians with a major health challenge. *'We believe that it is essential that everyone understand the facts about diabetes and -- early diagnosis," says Dr. Jodey Feldman, Executive Direc- tor of CDA's Ontario Division. : According to Dr. Feldman, some of the com- mon misconceptions about diabetes are that: * Insulin. is a cure for diabetes * Diabetics cannot eat sugar : * Sugar intake is related to the cause of the diabetes **Because nobody "looks diabetic", the im- plications of diabetes are often misunderstood," says Dr. Feldman. She adds that in addition to the physical effects of the ' disease, the lifestyle ad- justments affect not only, diabetics themselves, but their families as well. Hundreds of Canadian Diabetes Association members will be taking the real facts about this disease to the community this fall. Media interviews, public service advertising and local public awareness ac- tivities are planned for September and October. CDA's annual fund rais- ing appeal will follow in November. The Associa- tion believes that people will be more willing to lend support as a result of enhanced awareness of the disease.
