'Page 2, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, January 22, 1986 Senior citizen housing main priority for Reeve Terrace Bay Township Reeve Ollie Chapman said she can see the need for day care in the communi- ty, but that it is not the number one priority for the area, as far as she is concerned. In an interview with the News conducted during her regular Wednesday after- noon public. session ast week, she said senior citizen's housing is first on her list. She said Doggett and - Kowalchuk Appraisals Inc., a consulting firm bas- ed in Thunder Bay, has been hired by the township to conduct a housing needs study for the town. ""We gave them the go- ahead," Reeve Chapman said. The firm intends to hold a public meeting on the matter this February, or March at the latest. Reeve Chapman said notices of the meeting will be sent out to those who ex- pressed interest in senior citizen's housing in the past. A needs study was also conducted about five Day Care Centre one step closer now continued from page 1 (and) opportunity for parents to make career choices," she added. Hara said her Commit- tee recommends that a Day Care Advisory Committee be formed to spearhead the development of a Municipal Day Care facili- ty in Terrace Bay. Such a Committee was established with the passage of the mo- tion later on in the meeting. Before the motion was brought up for a vote, the matter of financing the pro- ject was discussed. Coun- cillor Jim Files expressed his doubts that any grants could be acquired this year. "*But what we could do- is find out what is available and what steps we could take,"' he added. Terrace Bay Reeve Ollie Chapman agreed. "Yes, we should find out if there is funding for this available.' "'It's one thing to build something from scratch and another thing to use an existing site;" Councillor Ramsay reminded council. **But I gather there isn't anything suitable in town.' Carol Bull explained that Longlac recently built a new centre of their own and that they will provide the Committee with a package of information. Community Develop- ment Worker Cathie Smith said that the Committee doesn't need too much more information' as "*we've been working on this for almost a year now, oe THANK YOU 'Special thanks to Dr. Bailey and Dr. Adey, Dr. St. Rose and Dr. Wilkes and the wonderful nurses and staff. To my wonderful husband and children Karin and Richard. Thanks to all my friends and neighbours for the lovely flowers, cards, phone calls and visits. It's real- ly nice to have so many kind friends. Thanks to everyone. God bless all of xy Lillian Brassard Rossport and we have three boxes of information."" "'T guess the time for day care has come,"' Ramsay said. "'It has been in the wings for years but these things take time.'* He add- ed that it was the consen- sus of council that they were in favor of the Com- mittee's goals. **Times have changed,"' Reeve Chapman admitted, "'but I wonder how we sur- vived without it (day care)."" "It didn't take two in- comes to put bread on the table,"" Committee member Angie Gereghty. replied. After the motion to form the Advisory Committee was passed, Reeve Chap- man addressed the members of the original group and those in the new -organization. *'The ball is in your court now,"' she told them. ° "*You should explore all of the available government agencies.- Council is with you. We realize the need, and we'll do everything we can."' She added, though, that she still believes senior citizen housing is a higher priority. Simons said the next meeting of the Committee will be Jan. 28. Story hour begins The very popular Story Hour at the Schreiber Public Library resumed on Jan. 18 from 2 to 3 p.m. for children ages three to 10 years, according to a library news release. Stories, games and crafts were enjoyed by the children under the direction of Terry Thompson and ° Betty Ann McKenna. Children were encouraged to take books home with them. The release asked parents to bring their children to the library for an enjoyable hour of fun and creativity every Saturday. The library is once again appealing to the public for donations of toys for our Toy Box, especially pull- toys which are in great de- mand. If your children have outgrown or are tired of a toy, please donate it to the library "box". The release also noted that the library's applica- tion to Wintario for fun- ding is being processed "'and we are confident that they will continue to sup- port our endeavours as they have in the past." These funds from Win* tario enable one Board member and the Librarian to attend conferences such as the Ontario Library Association Convention held in Toronto on November, at which the delegates attended some 14 workshops dealing with a number of topics. Such information 'can be utilized in bringing the Schreiber Library up to standard and to better serve the public, the release concluded.

""We've been talking about this for years,"' she explained. 'The whole of council is behind it."" She added that she still feels a day care facility is something that must be considered for the area. "I can see the need for it,' she noted. Reeve Chapman and council discussed the notion with Gilles Pouliot, MPP for the Lake Nipigon Riding, who attended a special meeting in Terrace Bay on January Something else that was discussed with Pouliot was the poor scheduling for Norontair for connecting flights from the Terrace Bay airport with Thunder Bay. "'Sometimes you have to sit there (in Thunder Bay) for hours waiting for your flight,'" Reeve Chapman said. "'He said he would look into this for us." Pouliot will also be assisting council in sending a resolution to the Ministry" of Transportation and Communications asking for a study to be done on a possible secondary access to the Terrace Heights sub- division. The resolution was passed at a Committee of the Whole meeting held Jan. 20. "The last study was done in 1980 and at that time they said it wasn't possible," she explained. "*But now we've come up with some alternative (ac- cess points)."' Reeve Chapman said the meeting with Pouliot was a very productive one. She would like to remind Ter- race Bay residents that she is at the Terrace Bay Township Office every Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. but asked that people who would like to see her make a reservation ahead of time. The Township Office telephone number is 825-3315. : Miller -- Mr. Charles Wesley Miller, age 76 years, of Schreiber, died in McCausland Hospital, Terrace Bay on December 15, 1985.
