Carnival Road Tournament The Road Hockey Tour- Nament provided a wet weekend of exciting action. When the final horn sound- ed, the Road Warriors defeated the Defenders in the championship game. Hockey , The consolation game saw Campbell's defeat the Bantams in a very wet con- test. Special mention should be made of the Ter- ror Bay Rumblers. Although they did not win too many games, they did provide their own unique Chemical spill discovered in Schreiber continued from page 1 police were called to in- vestigate a chemical spill at the Voyageur Esso station on Highway 17 in Schreiber. The officers at the scene determined that a westbound tractor trailer unit had made a routine stop. Upon checking his vehicle, the driver noticed a liquid leaking from his trailer. = Further investigation showed that a 45 gallon drum containing the hazar- dous chemical known as Diphenylmethane-4, 4-Diisocyanate, or MDI _ for short, had ruptured. It was estimated that 15 gallons had been lost through the leak since it began in the tractor trailer on its way to Schreiber. The police report added that Ministry of the En- vironment officials were contacted and_ they authorized the truck to con- tinue on to Thunder Bay after its load had been stabilized. Town fire department crews led by Fire Chief Peter Doig then cleaned up the spill while OPP Con- stable Peter Cox of the DEATH HART -- Mr. Henry Hart, age 69 years, of Terrace Bay passed away in hospital on Monday, March 17, 1986.

Funeral ser- vices on Tuesday at 4 p.m. Interment -- Schreiber Hazardous Goods In- vestigation team from Thunder Bay continued the examination. According to Ministry of the Environment District Officer Jim Drummond in Thunder Bay, the Kingsway Company truck was inspected when it finally arrived in Thunder Bay, and_ investigators found a second drum that may have also been leaking MDI when it was being offloaded. Drummond explained that the chemical is com- monly used in fiberglass and in automobile spray paint. it's. "guile; a-- bad substance," he added. "*Some people can. tolerate it while others can't." If ingested, the chemical breaks down within the body to form hydrogen cyanide, a potentially dead- ly poison. MDI can be neutralized to become a non-hazardous material by the process of polymerization, he said. Peat moss was used at the site of the spill in Schreiber to absorb some of the leak- ed liquid. 'The peat moss will be sent back to the company, and they will neutralize the chemical and dispose of it,' Drummond _ added. The company manufactur- ing the. MDI is General Latex and Chemical Ltd. of Brantford, Ontario. There was a less serious, unrelated. chemical leak from a transport travelling east on Highway 17 on March 15. The problem was reported to Terrace Bay Police, and Chief Russ Phillips said the leaking substance was a corrosive liquid. The transport was Subsequently detained by OPP in White River where the leak was controlled and contained, Chief Phillips added.

Sculptures win According to a recent news release, the Schreiber Kinsmen Club sponsored a Snow Sculpture Contest in conjunction with the Schreiber Winter Carnival held earlier this month. There were a total of 22 entries entered, with a wide variety of themes ranging from ships to shuttles to pets and nursery rhymes. The first prize of $150 was awarded to Morris Zaporzan for his four wheel drive version of a Big Foot truck. The second prize went to Janet Mooney for her larger than life Cab- bage Patch Doll, while an ice fisherman, literally ice in this case, was good enough for third place for Jerry and Evelyn Thrower. The judging was done by three independent Schreiber residents: Mike Reid, Mrs. J.R. Rummery, and Mrs. R.G. MacAdam. The winners were an- nounced at the Kinsmen's St. Patrick's Dance on March 15, the release added.

The Great Broomball Challenge The carnival wound up on Sunday, March 16 with the Great Broomball Challenge. The Figliomeni Family played the representatives of the Town Council and the Recreation Committee Department. It was an ex- citing game with 2 number of end-to-end rushes punc- tuated with an even larger number of fantastic crashes and falls worthy. of ABC TV's Wide World of Sports coverage. In the end however, Reeve Mike Cosgrove's booming shot eluded a number of brooms as it bounced, trickled and slip- ped into the net as the Town held on to a tight 3 to 2 lead to win the game. Contrary to what. some of the fans thought, the "'reps" did not cheat. They just made use of some very obscure rules such as the designated import rule and the black watering hose which may only be used on "butchers" named Joe. Other goal scorers for the reps were "Boom Boom" Quinton and "Animal" Larivee. Goal scorers for Family Figliomeni were Mario "Crash" Filane and Joey "Oops I hit it" Figliomeni.
