Terrace Bay Township residents may have noticed that not only have the area fire hydrants been re- painted a bright red recently, but earlier this month township crews, including Peter Barz seen above, Hydrant painter finished the job by painting the tops and side caps of each hydrant with silver paint. This may have been done in order to make the hydrants a little more visi- ble...or perhaps more visually appealing. Exchange student visits area By Janet Moorey Isabelle Martineau is a young lady who is stopping briefly in Schreiber on her way to Indonesia. She is from Thetford, Quebec and is staying-with the Paul Cebrario family. Her companion is staying with the Darcy McGuire's. Both are travell- ing under the Young World Canada program, a Canadian group that sponsors youth exchange. programs. Stopping in Schreiber to polish her English skills, Isabelle will be going on to Dorion to meet with the group of 21 people involved. It is there she -- will meet her Indonesian counterpart and find out where she will be billoted. She only knows that she and her new friend will be staying with a family in the Thunder Bay area until January when they will then leave for Indonesia. She will be there for four (the English language) is very diff- icult." She was happy to be here and found the people to be very nice, esp- ecially that they were so patient with her English and didn't mind repeating things two or three times. When she was thrust in with a group of teens, she found the outing very enjoyable, even though she said that things were quite different down east. She said an evening there with friends is often spent at the disco- theque. She thought sitting and chat- ting over coffee was more quiet but just as much fun. Because Isabelle's English is halt- ing, much of the interview was con- ducted through Theresa Martin. When asked why she became involv- ed in the program, Isabelle, who has recently completed college, said that she "would liké to-live something special. I want to speak English be- Terrace Bay area. She was very im- pressed by the scenery--especially Aguasabon Gorge. The host family was not without its share of impressions. Mrs. Cebrario found it "as worthwhile an ex- perience for them as it was for Isabelle. I think we had a great time."" She also hadn't realized how much French her children had learned in school. They were able to help quite a bit. Isabelle left this week and is eagerly looking forward to the ex- perience ahead of her. Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, September 24, 1986, page 3 Bits and Bites By Helene Ballard Hello! I hope you have all recovered from our Fall Fair--I know this old gal was "pooped out," but it was a nice day. I would like to thank all of your who helped in any way and for your kind words. We had some very nice things for our craft table. Thanks also to Mrs. Wallis Barker for her donation of the beautiful white afghan which was put on raffle and won by John Hache. Our craft room under the able direction of Sylvie Angus will be star- ' ting after after Thanksgiving to make things for next year's Fair. We have high hopes. : On Tuesday, September 16 the residents of Birchwood Terrace were given a very nice outing, sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary to Birchwood Terrace. The ladies chartered a bus and together with the Auxiliary members from Schreiber, our residents were taken to Marathon to be guests of the Senior Citizens Club there, where we were made to feel very welcome. A delicious luncheon was served. Following this, the president of the Marathon Senior Club, Marge Camp- bell, was our tour guide and she was very kind to us. With a sing-a-long thrown in, we had a wonderful time. So, on behalf of the residents, I would like to thank Peggy Thomp- son, the president of our Auxiliary, and her hard-working ladies. Thanks also to Marge Campbell and the Marathon Senior Citizens. On Thursday afternoon, Sept. 18, we had our monthly Birthday Party for our residents. Our hostesses were the ladies from the Schreiber Legion. After the birthday cake and coffee, we all enjoyed the Penny Auction, a favourite with our residents. We wish to extend our thanks to the Ladies of the Legion for their kindness. Our Birthday Kids for September are Louella McColeman, George Mutton, Tom Nicholson, and August Eggen. All our best wishes to them. I guess this "kid" is running out of steam, so I'll sign off until next week. Remember, it's better to get laugh wrinkles than worry warts. Au revoir.
