Pagé 2, News, Wednesday, November 23., 1988 Local companies lessen loss of fuel, assist in tanker truck clean-up By Dave Chmara The driver of a fuel tanker truck owned by Randy Pineault Fuels Ltd. of White River, lost control of his vehicle at the Kimberly-Clark Lake Superior pump house Monday, Nov. 14. Constable Callaghan of the Terrace Bay Police Dept. said the accident occurred at 3:30 p.m. when, "The driver lost control on the way down a steep grade and went over an embankment." The vehicle landed on its side at the shoreline of Lake Superior. Callaghan said there was a "minor discharge of dyed diesel fuel which was contained by sand diking." The tanker truck was righted Monday evening at 11:30 p.m.and the clean-up of the area was com- pleted by 4 p.m. Tuesday. Over half-a-dozen companies assisted with the clean-up. Callaghan said local Shell agent, Jim Mikus, "was instrumental in lessening the loss of fuel. After the accident, the tanker was pumped by U.R.S. Repair Services of Thunder Bay. Yates towing of Schreiber right- ed the tanker truck and removed it from the site Desrosiers Construction removed the contaminated material from the beach. Norcon Construction and Kimberly-Clark assisted with the clean-up of the area. As well, the Terrace Bay and Schreiber volunteer fire depart- ments responded to the call. Callaghan said it was a clear day but the gravel road is steep and rough. The driver sustained minor injuries and was treated and released from hospital. The truck was totalled and Callaghan said no charges will be laid. War's sacrifices remembered As we watch the Remembrance Day ceremonies each year, our attention focuses on war veterans. They, after all, are the ones who went to war and suffered through the horrors of combat. But they weren't the only Canadians to suffer; war has no respect for age or sex. The horror that Canadians faced at home was of a different kind, the kind that made people watch their front gate and hope that the telegraph boy wouldn't show up with a telegram from the Department of National Defence reporting that a husband or son had been killed. During the Second World War, more than 40,000 such telegrams arrived in Canadian homes. Twenty years earlier, during the First World War, more than 60,000 of these telegrams were sent. However, concerns and worries about loved ones weren't the only hardships faced by the people who stayed at home when Canada went to war. continued on page 11 PROPERTY ASSESSMENT and your 1989 Municipal and School Taxes Regional Assessment Offices located throughout Ontario are responsible for assessing all real property for the purposes of municipal and school taxation. Assessment Rolls are prepared and delivered to municipalities which use them to set mill rates and calculate property tax bills.

This Board is respon- sible for determining whether the assessment under appeal is fair and equitable with the assessments of similar properties in the vicinity.
