By Angie Saunders The News Erin Almost, Grade 1 student at Terrace Bay Public School, has won the regional competition for the MNR Poster/Slogan contest. The contest, sponsored by the Ministry of Natural Resources, was to generate interest in Forest Fire Prevention among young people. The contest is won by the stu- dent who best answered the ques- tion- What can you do to prevent forest fires? Student wins regional contest silent through the years. Now they are threatened by possible development and those along the North Shore are more than con- cerned. The hamlet of Rossport, whose population is the smallest had the loudest cry. For over 100 years, men have commercially fished the waters around every island, used them as shelters Erin's poster, as described by her teacher Mrs. Dora Trach, was very simple. There were several trees and a sun sporting happy faces with the slogan- "Preventing forest fires makes trees happy." The poster won Ist prize in the North Central regional competi- tion: for. the Grade 1° & 2 Category. Erin will pick up her prize (new tent) and trophy at the Regional Fire Centre in Thunder Bay. against the storms, repaired their nets along their shores. With commercial fishing virtually gone in the area, the sports fisherman and recreational boater now enjoys the solitude. The argument against making them a provincial park is by those who hunt the islands and fear los- ing that hunting right. The Ministry of Tourism looks to them for a tourist lodge and other faacilities for tourism. The natu- ralist argues that we need to leave them as they are for the genera- tions that come after us. No sug- gestion has yet been made to declare them a National Heritage, protecting them from the big developer and yet perhaps still having controlled hunting. One real concern is that the wildlife habitat becomes more threatened each year by pollutants and the encrouchment of man. Development on the islands could easily damage breeding areas for the Blue Heron and the Loon, not to mention the other wildlife that use the islands as their homes. Recently the Ministry of Natural Resources in Terrace Bay publicized a notice asking for all ands threatened concerned persons to send in their suggestions for the islands. The questions they need answers to were the public's opin- ion of more outpost camps and tourists facilities on the islands, small lodges, and suggestions in preserving the historic and archaelogical sites that exist. Letters are still being accepted and it is hoped that the response will be overwhelming towards the prevention of further develop- ment and a larger concentration given to the businesses on the mainland where the majority of tourists travel by the Trans Canada Highway. Residents of Rossport on a whole feel strongly in favor of leaving the islands as well as their community its quiet self. Many say this is why they chose to live, in Rossport and raise a family. Businesses comment that the visi- tor will again and again remind them of how quaint and peaceful it feels in the area. Perhaps with the pace of our lives increasing rapidly, 50 years from now the islands can be our biggest asset, and a gift left for our children's children. & \ DIANNE O'NEILL TERRACE BAY INSURANC A COMPLETE INSURANCE SERVICE COMPETITIVE RATES FOR QUALITY COVERAGE SIMCOE PLAZA TERRACE BAY 825 - 3246 E LTD. * Home * Business * Auto * Cottages * Recreational Vehicles * Etc.
