Fall Fair fans Mary Deschatelets, at left, and Alison Collins seemed to have a good time running their Mother Earth's Bounty booth for homemade relishes, jams, pickles, and gift packs at the Fifth Annual Terrace Bay Fall Fair held last month. The News also had a booth at the event, but contrary to previous reports, it was not the first time for such a booth at the Fair, as it has been noted that there was also one several years ago.

By Helene Ballard Where did September' go? Just seems like yesterday we started the month and here it is over. I hope all you nice folks have been enjoying the beautiful fall foliage Mother Nature has painted for us. This is the time of year when I wish I could paint a lovely picture but since I can't, no use dreaming, so I'll enjoy the beauty and thank 'The Man Upstairs" for all of this. We welcomed two new residents to Birchwood this past week. Mr. James Zurawski and Dr. "Mike"' McCausland. We hope they will both be comfortable and enjoy their stay with us. No doubt all our winter activities will soon be in full swing. I hope it will be a very good winter in all ' sports, and you will have a lot of good clean fun and good luck! ' 'Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, October 1, "1986; page 5 Bits and Bites We were all so very happy to welcome back to Birchwood our dear Blanche Speck. She looks great, and with her usual grit and spunk she is getting along well, walking with her friend "Charlie." She is a real in- spiration to the rest of us, that if you want to do something, with courage and willpower you can do it. We love you, Blanche. I see the Christmas "Wish Book" is out. Well, it makes good reading when there is nothing good on the table. Gee, it sure would be nice to just sit down and order all the lovely things you would like to have and not worry about the price tag. Well, enough for this week. Just a "wee" joke: A minister was talking to a group of boys. He asked them to raise their hand if they wanted to go to heaven. Local MR group joins Submitted by Gail Conrad-Davey The Marathon and District Assoc- iation for the Mentally Retarded (MDAMR) has served the North Shore communities for over 20 years. The Terrace Bay and Schreiber AMR has long been associated with -MDAMR and has now amalgamated with the Marathon group, with a local membership drive to start on Oct. 7. Associations for the mentally retarded were originally established in the late 50's and early 60's in an effort to provide educational services to mentally-retarded children. Since then, the responsibilities of communi- ty associations have mushroomed to include residential, vocational, and life skills programs for people of all ages. The history of the MDAMR re- flects this involvement. In the late 60's, the first educational opport- unities for mentally retarded children "were provided by colunteers, such as the late Caroline McMorland through MDAMR. Since then, responsibility for the education, of children with special needs has been assumed by the Ministry of Education. 31 plus FEE STRUCTURE: 1-10 Employees 11-20. Employees 21-30 Employees However, the MDAMR has main- . tained both maintained both financial and volunteer support for special ac- tivities in the Caroline McMorland Class. ; In 1976, the MDAMR developed the "Working Together' program for adults with special needs. This project served as a pilot program for the now established Life Skills Cen- tre, which is 100 per cent funded by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and administered by the association. The Life Skills Program offers the participants the opportunity to learn skills necessary for day-to-day in- dependence at home, work, and in recreational settings. Participants in this program have come from Terrace Bay, Schreiber, Manitouwadge, Marathon, Mobert, and Heron Bay. Although not all par- ticipants of this program are mental- ly handicapped, all do have some form of disability and are all over 18 years of age. The MDAMR provides volunteer and financial assistance to disabled participants of activities such as On- tario Special Olympics. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Membership Drive October 1-7 Groups or individuals interested in joining THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE should Contact any of the following: Bryon Cassie Ken Randle Mary Cashmore Mike Gould Clyde Gordon Kim Murray Darlene Noble Mike Moore Associate Membership Individual Membership 824-3248 $100.00 $200.00 One small Jewish boy did not raise his hand so the minister said "Don't you want to go to heaven?"' "Sure," replied the boy "but the other night Dad told us business is go- ing to hell, so I have to go where business is."' So long. Marathon The future of MDAMR provides many new challenges. Every person, regardless of his or her disability, has the right to live in his or her comm- unity. The association is currently developing a proposal for a residen- tial program which will utilize rented apartment units. A large part of the MDAMR's yearly revenue comes from the sale of memberships. On Tuesday, Oct. 7 starting at 6 p.m. there will be a membership drive carried out in Schreiber and Terrace Bay. Letter Dear Editor: I would like to offer a suggestion to those who are concerned by the fact that war games have been in- troduced to our area. The land that is being used for this purpose was leased from the Ministry of Natural Resources. Inform the MNR that you do not want your Crown Lands used for war games. If enough persons protest to the MNR, the lease may not be renewed. S. Mikus Terrace Bay, Ont. 3244 9425 9152 3265 3891 3333 3327 $55.00 $75.00 $25.00 $10.00
