We are - all Canadians with a background of many nations. Our ancestors came from France, the British Isles and the Scandanavian countries 'to name a very few. Some are of the early Inuit and Indians who hunted animals across the penninsula into Alaska, the Yukon and Northwest Territories from Siberia. All the people from these back- grounds are hard-working Canadians, each forging a bit of his or her country into our lifestyle. They developed and made a nation out of this great land. They had to be vigorous workers, whether clearing land, farming, mining, lumbering or fishing. They built mills, schools, and of the Club at Thunder Bay.

There are furs, hydro power, water, minerals, forests, fish just to mention a few.

Get well to: Art Parent, Joe Still more events during Seniors' Month By Helene Ballard Hello folks! Well, another week gone by, and we still need rain. Sure hope we get some soon or the farmers won't have any crops to harvest. Of course, this leads in turn to fires so let's all be extra careful with matches and cigarette butts; make sure they are out and don't throw one away because that can cause a lot of trouble. I am sure you all saw in the News the grant the residents of Birchwood Terrace received from New Horizons, which was present- ed to us by Mr. Keith Penner, M.P. We are all grateful for this and are looking forward to the outdoor furniture so we can sit and swing. Hope none of us fall asleep while swinging. We had a visit from the second © grade pupils of St. Martin's School on Monday the 20th. They came prepared to interview us. I sure got a kick out of this. The little sweetie who spoke to me looked at me with big brown eyes and calmly said "How old are you." I was tempted to say SO but no way could I look into those eyes and say that. At any rate we all enjoyed their visit. This past week we welcomed a new resident to our home, Maybelle Furlonger from Schreiber, a lovely lady. I hope she will enjoy her stay here. Our Activities Director, Sylvie Tiboni, Mr. MclIsaac and Mr. David Leblanc. Chimo friends were invited to a Strawberry Social at Birchwood Terrace in Terrace Bay.

The grounds around Birchwood are looking good. Mina has turned our back patio into a real flower garden. Bless her, she sure works hard for us. Not much more, only to wish all the students who are or will be writing exams the best of luck. So for now I close until next time with this wee joke: Sign in front of a funeral home -- Pay now, go later. Some wild times with wildlife Close encounters with our roving reporter By Mary Hubelit A cloud of white wings settles around my feet to reveal hungry eyes and the gaping beaks of the little Ring-billed Gulls; there are about 30 of them. They seem to be walking on their tiny yellow heels, so small are the web toes. The Herring Gull walks clumsily on his big pink feet, but these little fellows are dainty. I crouch and extend my hand, which is holding a strip of bread crust. They scold and criticize and dare each other, I think, but none steps forward. I stand up, arm above my head. The bright eyes follow my stretch. Suddenly from behind, a brush of soft, soft wings on my wrist, a sharp sting in my fingertips and the bread is gone. The other 29 applaud and holler "Me too! Me Too!," I think, and soon the crusts are gone. A lovely moment, and a clean one! >A RMAVA BE ll STOPPERS 623=TIPS THUNDER BAY : & DISTRICT 1-800-465-6844: As they fluttered around I tried to tell them there were no more treats, and they stood quietly on the lawn when I went 'back to the camper and sat down. Two enormous black cats slow- ly crawled from under a parked car by the next trailer with tail-tips twitching. I thought this must be a game -- they know they can't catch a seagull. As I glanced at the gulls, they were still looking at me, but with an almost imperceptible movement all faced the car just as the two cats became fully visible. the cats bel- lied forward about a cat's length. With a swish and a swirl, the gulls lifted of as one and settled on the lawn again a few feet away. Our wildlife sightings on this trip were very ho-hum. After all, we were still in Ontario although far from the Northshore's unique climate! One lively young moose head- ing for the protection of the trees; one on the side of the highway whose mother will never see again; and twin deer calves enjoying a cooling splash in a small pond were our only sightings of the larger ani- mals. One 'could' include the seals' and Orca's clever displays offered to enthusiastic crowds in -Marineland at Naaora Falle.- It as easy to relate to them as tame ani- mals, but I'm sure their trainers know the difference. One gem of information on marine life came to us from an 11- year-old boy in Michipicoten Bay near Wawa: "What do you do after school 'til your dad comes home?" (dad returns at 4.30, while mother comes home at about 6.00) "We usually go down to the shallows in the harbour and catch crayfish for a while." "Are they edible?" "For some people I guess," this with a curl of the lip and shrug of the shoulders. "How do you catch them?" "Well, you need a small thing like a margarine tub or this plastic sieve with a handle -- it's neat! You wade in with your sneakers still on so you don't get cut or any- thing. "When you sce a crayfish -- like a lobster, not like a crab or shrimp -- you slide the sieve down in the water behind him, gently. Then you tease him with a little stick until he jumps backward. If you're fast enough, you catch him. You look at him, maybe study him a little, put. him back and try to catch another. That's all." That's all the wildlife report, - tE0.-
