NORSHORE SENTINEL "Keeping Watch on the Great North Shore" VOLUME 1. NO. 14 NORSHORE SENTINEL NIPIGON, ONTARIO THURSDAY, NOV. 24, 1960 NOT OVER 10c DON'T MISS Page Editorial What's Your Beef .. Personals Sports Comics Entertainment Classified ...4 ... 4 ... 6, 7 ... 10, 11 ... 13 ... 14 ... 15 COUNCIL CONCERNED OVER EROSION Nipigon council relented on the issue of the extension of the McKirdy street water line but showed strong concern over a second and more serious problemâ€"the erosion of the top bank of the lagoon behind Front Streetâ€"at the regular meeting Friday night. Council accepted A. Hannula's petition signed by 11 residents of McKirdy who agreed that the extension of the line to serve Mr. Hannula's property across from the Maple Leaf Motel would not have an adverse effect on their service. Council had previously informed Mr. Hannula they would agree to the installation only if a petition signed by all the residents involved, some 15, was shown to council. Mr. Hannula must now take a re-worded petition to the residents explaining new conditions. He must pay for, the installation and maintenance of the line. The problem of erosion again came to light when Ovila Lajoie, owner of the last house on the East end of Front Street, asked council to sell him more land for his garage. Council refused to even discuss the request in that Mr. Lajoie's house and garage both encroach upon municipal property. A court order in Dec. 1959 ordered him to remove the garage, built without a permit on town property, but council at that time agreed to leave the building until "spring" when Mr. Lavoie was to get a survey on which the town could base an agreement covering the encroachment of the house itself. Council showed concern over the erosion along the bank behind this house with town engineer Gabriel Timor reporting that the bank "wouldn't last 10 years." Council blamed house owners who aid the erosion by removing trees and building crib-work. It was agreed that a full study would have to be made in the future.

NORSHORE NOTES Monday is nomination day in Nipigon. Citizens are urged to attend the nomination meeting at the public school beginning at 8 p.m. The subdivision planned for Nipigon is a step closer. The draft plan has been approved and the surveyors have started laying out the 46 lots. The subdivision stretches on both sides of First street up to McKirdy in one direction and immediately West of Churchill St., almost to the Souvenir Lunch in the other direction. Cameron Falls residents want the highway paved from Cameron Falls to highway 17 and are doing something about it. A petition is being circulated through the town and the Nipigon council and chamber of commerce have been asked to lend their support to the move. Meanwhile all the roads in Cameron have been given proper names by the Mutual Interest Committee and signs will be erected. Nipigon council had an application for the position of dog catcher at its last meeting from man's other best friend, a female. However the application was turned down at the request of the woman's husband who obviously must feel the place for the woman is in the home. Think the weather is cold and miserable in your area? Co to Beardmore, pal! While most areas are without snow , Beardmore boasts a couple feet of the fluffy stuff! Winter's arrived somewhere at least! NEEDY INDIANS TO GET AIRLIFT OF CLOTHING The request for clothing for ihe Indian Children at Lansdowne House, Nakina, which appeared in last week's Sentinel has not fallen on deaf ears. Ontario Northern Airways, based at the Cedar Shored Motel near Jellicoe, has offered to fly one or even two loads of clothing into the area at no charge. The Airways is owned by John Peacock, Tom Tansley and Bill Ferring who every year fly clothing, toys and candy to the Indian families of the northern areas. Any clothing that could be useful should be brought to the Church Thrift Shop. The flight will not be made for at least two weeks until snow conditions improve and the Thrift Shop is hoping to have at least one full load by then. DIVERS RECOVER BODY OF BUSHMAN Skindivers from the Lakehead Sunday recovered the body of a 28-year old bush-worker who drowned in the Ombabika River, 12 miles southwest of Auden, sometime during Friday night or Saturday morning. The victim, Victor Bilesky, apparently broke through the ice on his way back to Camp 20, Abitibi, after attending a movie in Auden. He was found 20 feet from shore in approximately 20 feet of water by OPP skin-diver John Harrison and Ernie Robinson of the Thunder Bay Skindivers club. Const. Bruce Dorigo, Beardmore investigated the accident. SKINDIVERS PREPARE TO DIVE
