o Thank you to the residents of Terrace Bay for your support at the Polls on Nov. 12th. oS =; oy" QP 6D $3 | look forward to serving you over the next 3 years. Respectfully Jim Files Schreiber Legion Br. 109 CAR RAFFLE that was supposed to have been held Nov. 11° has been postponed to Dec. 31 due to slow sale of tickets and car not being in Candidate night in Terrace Buy was a successful evening. It was at the High School and put on by the Kinsmen Club. Pictured is George Ramsay ad- dressing an issue. Friends and Neighbours A local sister and brother team, Liz Boutilier and Paul Barry, have com- bined to produce an in- teresting and useful guide map which promotes the thriving business com- munity of Terrace Bay and which marks the tenth year of successful growth by both the long-established and the up-and-coming enterprises in the town. Since the 1976 expan- sion of the Kimberly-Clark pulp mill, and the subse- quent injection of more than 400 new workers into the local workforce, the town population has grown Schreiber Congratulations to the newly-elected Schreiber Town Council (I'm a good loser!) I may have lost, but it was certainly a learning experience. I must admit that, I was not too fond of my com- petition when I entered, but through the duration of the election, I. learned to respect, and like them all. I believe that the voters in Schreiber elected a boulevards, parks, A.J. Gauthier Clerk-Treasurer Township of Schreiber PUBLIC NOTICE Respecting By Law 658 Which prohibits vehicles on pathways, cemeterys, allowances, and places of public recreation Residents of Schreiber are cautioned that all types of motorized vehicles (including all ter- rain vehicles) are prohibited from travelling on public or private property as described above.

An entire new residential sub-division was built and new buildings were added to the business sections where business outlets have increased in number from about 42 in 1976 to over 63 in 1985. The idea of a Terrace Bay guide map was a natural result of this sort of progress. The guide map is two- sided, two-coloured and is poster sized. It includes a general street map with points of interest, as well as pictural-maps with unique renderings of familiar buildings in each of the four business areas of town. The guide will serve as an illustrated directory for new and_ long-time residents in addition to visitors apd travellers. iz and Paul call their ..n small enterprise, '*Friends and Neighbours"' because, as they explain, they are a local team serv- ing local residents and local businesses. Planning to go to press within the year, Liz and Paul are selling advertising and bulk orders immediately. politics lottsa fun!! mature, responsible, and competent council. Not too many entertainers, but good selections, all. Even you, Quinton. Good luck to , you all. : I was treated well by _ everyone, and appreciated it. Running for municipal council, made some things clear for me. I took my vote for granted, and with very little respect. A municipal election is very important, and your individual vote is a great responsibility, not to be taken lightly. _ Complaining is a part of town life, and before one voices their complaint, they should stop to think. If they did not vote, they have no right to complain. If they do not involve themselves in community activities how can they justify. their crying? They have done nothing to im- prove, or help the state of their town. Voting is im- portant, involvement is crucial. ST.

It says something for the town. It never hurts to try. If an award is given for '*Good Sportsmanship"', I believe Norm Boon and his wife, Lynn should win hands down. Win or lose, they threw a bash for everyone involved, follow- ing the elections. The two of them proved, that '*Good Sportsmanship" is an institution in the town of Schreiber. 'Handicap Action Doug Baker, Terrace Town Engineer, addressed the meeting Thursday evening of the Handicap Action Group in McCausland Hospital, speaking on accessiblity. He expressed an interest in hearing of needs and con- cerns of the group and pro- mised whatever support available. Several new faces were welcomed to the previous group: Irene Kettle, Pam Jones and John Souliere. With bad weather and driv- ing conditions there was not the usual representation from Schreiber. Connie Bryson reported on Caravan Clothing, who did not intend to come to our area this winter, but likely in the spring. She had a catalogue of their clothing, designed par- ticularly for those in wheelchairs or hospital. Connie had further in- vestigated availability of talking books in the two Libraries. Schreiber was prepared to look into pur- chase of some and Terrace Bay had some already. The Terrace Bay Tumblers will be asked to entertain the members in January.. Order of the Eastern Star had indicated willingness to support and would be requested for February. John. Souliere . recom- mended contacting some of the members from Green Mantle Co-operative for advice on establishing our local group. He volunteered to invite one or more of them to our next meeting, set for Thursday, Group December 5th at 7:30 p.m. Rod Thompson would be meeting a number of these representatives at the Thunder Bay Conference this weekend and hopeful- ly would gain much from the Conference. Ollie Chapman enquired if fund raising was necessary at this point. It was decided help in setting up guidelines and organiz- ing this Action Group was the top priority. In par- ticular, it was important to make the public aware such a group existed to assist those in need of any measure of support. Shirley Mikus mention- ed heavy doors that would not remain open, becoming an impossibility for one person to open and push a wheelchair through. Ollie Chapman questioned Doug Baker on the use of por- table ramps. A request for the public was forwarded that cars not be parked so close that it obstructs the ramp in front of the arena, and bumper stops may be considered in such areas. Stores and facilities in Terrace Bay and Schreiber were review- ed for their accessibility. Existing buildings were generally suitable with few exceptions, but new buildings and additions should include such plans. Ollie Chapman felt it ~ should be brought up at Council meeting. Bunny Singleton discussed the hospital van and that drivers must be trained. This vehicle would be available for persons re- quiring therapy. 825-9140 807-876-4206 Decor-Nor Pre-Christmas Sale Nov. 20 - Dec. 4 15% - 30% off We sell, make & install vertical and horizontal blinds.
