In 1984 the donors of this area donated the highest average per capita in Ontario which was $9.00 with a total of $616.00 in 1985 this year has topped and over- subscribed to date by our small communities. Ray Kenney was the canvasser for this locality. Rainbow Falls Park, Yes we Rossportites know all about this park. A good reason too. The members of the Game and Fish Association, now known as' the Conservation organiza- tion, were the ones who originally started the park in the years of 1951 and 52. Of course it was on crown lands but we wanted a recreation place where we could gather at anytime of the year, especially on weekends. At that time the ex- ecutive of the Association consisted of Past President - Ted McKenna, President - Russell Gerow, Vice- 'President was Dave Mush- quash and the Sec. Treas. was Dave Gerow and Toi Seppala was chairman of the Derby Committee. Among others who Michael King is a resident of Terrace Bay for the past 4 years, lived in Northwestern Ontario for 11 years.

The men were able to borrow an old bulldozer that was more often broken down than in running order. Norman Reneaud operated the machine. Toi Seppala and Chas. Todesco donated the use of their trucks to haul tons of blasted rock and stones away, some were used in the building of fireplaces and re-inforcing banks of the beach area or driveway to the falls. Rossportites worked hard to accomplish their aim in creating a small park. The road was bulldozed over a definite path through the bush, they cleared and tidied the beach, underbrushed the bush nearby, felled trees to build diving boards and rafts, picnic tables* and biffies. George Kay was the dynamite man - one day they had a near accident. When all took cover at a distance, three men duck- ed behind an old picnic table. When the blast went Off a large piece of the rock came down over the table and split one of the planks in half. The three men - Dave Mushquash, Steve Auger and Norman Reneaud were so astonish- ed that they couldn't speak for awhile when they realized that they could have been killed. The women were there with baskets of food, pork and beans, macaroni, home made bread and rolls, doughnuts and other pastries. Two tents were pitched one for dressing space for the swimmers, the other for serving lunch if the' weather was unfavourable.

Several women assisted with the tiny tots while paddling and playing in the water near the shore among them being Mildred Gerow, Anne Todesco, Annie Gerow, Annie Molinski, 'Lena King, Josephine. Hubelit. Many others took part but I have forgotten their names. Picnics were in order of the day - of course recrea- tion was of top priority - swimming, canoeing, div- ing, ballgames, beach ball games, races, music, sing- ing and dancing. We cer- tainly enjoyed our little park. Then the Govern- ment took over it - they provided campsites, laun- ching areas, improved on the picnic areas, built washrooms and laundries, brought 'in electricity, . movie area, etc. and of course charged a fee for the accomodations and conve- niences. That spoiled our little adventure and resorted to our old ways of recreation by travelling by the boat load to our old haunts to the islands, lighthouse, and old camp- . sites and always had the same recreations and meals. The only drawback here was if the weather man changed its plans for the day and a storm blew up, we would have to hurry home or wait out the storm. Yes, we know all about Rainbow Falls park - we were the originators of the beginning of this wonder- ful. park which is very popular with tourists from across Canada and United States. Manlio Todesco of Thunder Bay visited his sister-in-law Mrs. Charles Todesco over the weekend. The Bruley families of Thunder Bay holidayed at their summer home here, and getting it ship-shape for the winter. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Tack have left to reside in Amherstburg where Tom will be on the police force there. Geese and ducks appear to be plentiful about here this fall but partridge are few and far between. They aren't seen along the highway, bush roads or glens. Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Sundland were Lakehead visitors this week. Mrs. Annie Molinski of Winnipeg visited her daughter-in-law and fami- ly Mrs. Emma Molinski and sons Lorne and Michael the past week and renewed acquaintances here. Darin Gerow is in the hospital in Thunder Bay _ with an injured back in a car accident enroute to work. William Hiller for Reeve Schreiber has the oppor- tunity now, to begin a new era, the chance to plan for the future. With Falcon- bridge going ahead with the Winston Lake Project, decisions will have to be made on the direction Schreiber is headed. Coun- cil has the chance to plan for the future now, and the Reeve the responsibility to lead Council in that direc- tion. With this in mind, I announced my candidacy for Office of Reeve. I have 6 years ex- perience as a Councillor. As Reeve, I would like to see the continuation and completion of these pro- jects as well as developing new projects and ideas. I have lived in Schreiber all my life and plan to remain here. I have the time, energy and dedication to lead Schreiber into the future.
