Terrace Bay Vol. 18, No. 21 Public Library Terrace Bay POT 2WO Ontario C.CeTereNe ------ LER we: WS Schreiber Council Economic Development At its last meeting the Schreiber Council com- plete the ground work that will see two eco- nomic development seminars held in June. The Council gave its approval to plans for the construction of a second major subdivision just south of the town's own Development at Cook's Lake. The Council strongly supported an effort by the Terrace Bay Council to have an ambulance stationed permanently at the Mc- Causland Hospital, and a proposal to rename some of the streets was hastily dropped. The regular monthly meeting was held on The Rossport Com- munity Hall is to be officially opened on Saturday, May 28. There is much _his- tory packed into the walls of this _ building since it was first opened in the fall of 1929. It was formerly built and owned by the mem- bers of the Rossport Wo- men's Institute. It was tough going for this group of women during Tuesday, May 10 and was presided over by Reeve. Harold Fischer with Councillors Bur- ton Phillips, Larry Dun- woody, Mike Cosgrove, and Ed _ Borutski present. Clerk Aurel Gauthier, Building In- spector Pete Doig, Roads Superintedent Ron Harris and By-law Officer Jack Whitton were also present. Delegation The Council met with a delegation of property owners who were inter- ested in purchasing lot 32 on Winnipeg Street South. The two men intended to then divide the property and attach the halfs to their own ae adjourning property. "'I want to add on a ga- rage. If I can buy this property I could then build the right size ga- rage and have the clear- ances from the property lines that I need."' The Council was re- luctant to make the sale. Reeve Fischer said, "The Council set our present policy to be fair to everybody. We have tried to sell these lots individually and have said no to requests in the past to buy double lots. This way the Coun- cil has one or two or three properties if any- one wants one."' Councillor Larry Dun- woody said, "The prob- Official opening for Rossport Community Hall | those depression years and a great deal of hard work went into its erect- ion and upkeep. The members' work was all volunteer labour as they had no funds to pay for the many jobs involved in the care of the hall. When I came to live in Rossport in 1928, the ladies of the village be- longed to the Women's Institute organization and had decided to raise funds to build a badly needed hall and recrea- tion centre for the vil- lage. They had the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars in the bank. I was asked to join the organization and was elected President of the annual meeting which I chaired. I held the office for 22 years. The pre- vious President was Mrs. Lottie Anderson. Wednesday, May 25, 1983 lem comes if we change the policy then the other people who have re- quested this have a right to complain. It is really not fair when they don't have the opportunity. Reeve Fischer added, "We sold the property on Park Street and we did not change our policy because it was all part of one subdivi- sion."' Councillor Ed Borut- ski said, "I think the reason we first set this policy was because we only had a few lots left and we wanted to be fair with everybody.

What a wonderful lot of enthu- siastic ladies were our members, with all pull- ing together for a com- mon purpose and for the betterment of the vil- lage.

The water flows down the river, through a set of rapids, and then spills over the falls and into the gorge below and finally enters Lake Superior at the beach at the foot of the golf course. The annual rush of water over the falls is a sight not to be missed and helps make Terrace Bay one of the most beautiful towns on the North Shore. Mining Up-date Mining exploration activity around Ter- race Bay continues to intensify. Micham ex- plorations of Toronto will be doing work on some ninety claims in the Jackfish - Cape Vic- toria area this summer. A spokesman for the company said that Bell Geological Services has been retained by the company to do the geo- logical survey work in the Terrace Bay area. David Bell is one of the men primarily res- ponsible for the de- LAKE SUPERIOR PANROW FALLS PROVINCIAL PARK To: Rossport KKK «TRAIL CASQUE - ISLES HIKING TRAIL fiom: TERRACE BAY THROUGH: SCHREIBER N l MAY 1983 velopment. of the Go- liath and Golden Scep- tres finds at Hemlo. He is considered to be "pro- bably Canada's best geologist when it comes to gold."' Micham will be spending some $155,000 on basic prospecting along with geo-chemi- cal and geo-physical workups. The company's spokesman said that if any promis- ing results are found they would be doing dia- mond drilling later in the fall. Wasabi-Chauin, part of the Harbison Group, has control of about 70 claims in the area. They will begin an explora- tion program similar to Micham's in June. A company spokesman said that if any inter- esting targets are found, the company would be- gin diamond drilling for core samples in six months. The company intends to spend $150,000 on the work this summer. The com- pany said that it would be looking for the use of aircraft locally and pos- sibly local labour for linecutting. In a major move last week Micham_ gained control of the old Em- press Mine claim. Hiking trail clean up Forty-eight people showed up at the Kins- men baseball field in Schreiber a week ago Sunday to help groom the Casques Isles hik- ing trail between Ter- race Bay and Rossport. The trail follows the shoreline of Lake Sup- erior along some of the most beautiful country in the province. The trail is maintained by the Voyageur Trail Asso- ciation, headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie. Heather McGrath of Rossport helped or- ganize the clean up effort and she said that the work was being done to bring the trail up to standard for use this summer. "It was our second Annual Trail walk. We divided up into four groups and each took a section between Ter- race Bay and Rainbow Falls Park. We did some brushing and general maintenance work."' McGrath said that the all day effort was very successful. '*The last group came in about 7:00 p.m. and then we had a social at Rossport. We had sever- al people from Thunder Bay and the Boy Scout Troop from Terrace Bay with John Roy, Gail Pollard and Mel Met- calf. We came across a group of five hikers from Thunder Bay who really commended this group on what we are doing and were really impres- sed with our local continued on page 2
