Page 6, News, Tuesday, June 5, 1990 All the world's a circus- CO the headlines may be, the story always has a plausible explana- tion and the people involved turn out to be people, just like you and me. Witnesses said Dorothy left after losing six games in a row. As Kenny Rogers said, "You gotta know when to hoid 'em...you gotta know when to fold 'em." And the rest of the front-page captions proved to be just as anti- climactic as the Bingo Bambino story. AFTER 30 YEARS OF MAR- RIAGE - HUSBAND AND WIFE DISCOVER THEY ARE TWINS. Great story - coinci- dence, intrigue, incest - plus you can go out to dinner once and cel- ebrate two birthdays. But once you read the full story, you come to realize they're just like any couple - "they were amazed at how much they had in common" and they raised three lovely chil- dren who went on to have very successfully careers in the circus. GREAT GRANDAD, 96, ELOPES WITH 19-YEAR-OLD BELLY DANCER - THREE DAYS AFTER WIFE DIES. Sounds incredible but think about it. How much time can a 96-year- old man devote to long-term grieving? Besides, Yuri Tasarov of Serdobsk, Russia, just didn't cut and run, he left a note: "Please don't worry...I am safe and happy. I am living with a beautiful 19-year-old belly dancer named Ludmilla...After grandma died...I was so sad that I couldn't cry anymore. So I stopped into a tavern that was full of music and laughter." Sick of the singles scene, Yuri? I think we can all relate to that. All pretty ordinary stuff when you get to the nub of the article. Sure, UFO ALIEN'S CORPSE IS FOUND IN WHITE HOUSE sounds startling until you learn it was just another Cuban "plumber" involved in Watergate that Richard Nixon had been hid- ing all these years.

SPANIEL FROM HELL RETURNS TO LIFE - ATTACKS OWNER WHO HAD HIM PUT TO DEATH, | Sounds diabolical, doesn't it? Then you learn it was no big deal - the owner was a postie. I mean, anyone could make these stories up. Like MAN MAKES FOR- TUNE FROM FRAUDULENT DOCUMENT carries all the excitement of the forged Hitler diary until you read on and learn it was just Simon Reisman and the Free Trade Agreement. Like MAN GIVES AWAY nt'd from page 8 $182 MILLION IN FIVE MIN- UTES sounds like a Howard Hughes hoax until you get the full story and find out it's only our tax dollars, crazy Brian and those 11 Carribean countries he adopted. ELEVEN MEN DROWN IN LAKE AS 26 MILLION LOOK ON HELPLESSLY sounds like 4 pretty pathetic story. And it is, but still and all, it's just the ten provincial premiers and the prime minister working on the Meech Lake Accord. MAN PUTS 500 PEOPLE TO SLEEP IN UNDER ONE MINUTE sounds like a world record-setting hypnotist until you find out it was just Joe Clark's opening remarks at the Foreign Minister's Conference © on International Terrorism. And none of us are immune from the tabloid virus. I, too, could be.a victim: WRITER ON WAITING LIST FOR BRAIN TRANSPLANT. But then if you read beyond the headline, you'd discover I'm not just waiting for any old brain, I'm waiting for Brian Mulroney's. I mean, you gotta make sure you get one that's never been used before, eh? Northern Insights- continued from previous pagé Employees Union local in Fort Frances, that represents employ- ees of the Ministry of Natural Resources, called for an "Environmental Ombudsman - someone an employee can go to and complain about a decision that isn't good for the environ- ment." This Ombudsman would hear the complaint, get manage- ment's side, and then have the power to force changes, if the complaint was warranted. Eli Martel, one of the two members of the Environmental Assessment Board holding the hearings, said he found the idea of closed-door hearings "offen- sive." According to Martel, the board is engaged in a process that has to be entirely public. But he implied that the board is very interested in hearing from these "whistle-blowers." He asked Hampton, "How do we hear from these people? I've been hearing FOR RESERVATIONS WRITE OR CALL: Comfortable over night Ned & Shelagh Basher accomidations.

Fi MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES ATTENTION COTTAGE AND LANDOWNERS LETS WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE FISH HABITAT The Ministry of Natural Resources is a of cottage and landowners along lake protecting our fisheries resource. If you plan on i) dredging or filling your shoreline ii) building a dock, boathouse, sauna or breakwall iii) working anywhere in a waterbody, you will require a work permit. that fish habitat is protected dur- sh habitat (e.g. spawning, feed- ing, nursery areas) can easily be destroyed by these types of activities if they are not planned properly. When you apply for a work permit, MNR can help you minimize icate, irreplaceable resource. By proceeding with these types of activities of a work permit, you are in contravention Act. Iffish habitat is harmfully altered, disru you are also liable under the Fisheries Acts of Canada. Penalties can include fines and orders to rehabilitate the site. The permit is free of charge and review of your application takes about ten days. An inspection of your proposed work site may be required. Please contact your district office of the Resources if you are planning to work in or near the water. Ministry of Natural Resources O.

Martel Bae a member 0 the Legislature from Sudbury for years, and no doubt received the same kind of late-night call, and the same brown envelopes. In reply, Hampton offered to provide the board with his late-night callers' names and home tele- phone numbers, so they could talk about their concerns. After that, it would be up to Martel and Koven to decide how to make the evidence public. In the meantime, the public is left with an incomplete picture. We don't know if we're really see- ing the whole elephant. The com- munity hearings resume in Red Lake on August 20, then move on to Sault Ste. Marie, Espanola, Timmins, Hearst and Geraldton. It will be interesting to see whether any of these "late-night callers" come out of the closet and tell us what they know. If they do speak up, it will be even more interesting to see whether the Ministry of Natural Resources, the forest companies, or whoever employs these people, The HATLICIpe Sin the time management hearings have all invested large sums of money in lawyers, experts, and public rela- THE CORPORATION OF THE im TOWNSHIP OF TERRACE BAY Ath |, NOTICE OF COUNCIL MEETINGS The public is welcome to attend our regular Council meetings Monday June 41 and June 25, 1990, being held in the Council Chambers at 7 p.m. at the Municipal Office.
