South meets north Mary Davis Riddle, at left, and Judy Hall were two in a trio of cyclists from South Carolina who decided to spend their summer vacation by travelling the Lake Superior Circle Route by bicycle, as well as by plane, train, and ferry. They started their journey with the South Shore on July 3 and reached Terrace Bay on July 11 before continuing on to the east and Sault Ste. Marie. The other member of their group, not seen here, was Mike Davis. Both women said they have been enjoying their trip, with the exception of the trucks they encounter on the highway. Highway a problem for cyclists: MPP The Director of the Min- istry of Transportation and Communications for the Northwestern Region re- cently responded to a query regarding problems being faced by bicyclists on Highway 17 between Terr- ace Bay and Schreiber, and promised his office will ""review" the situation. The matter was brought to the attention of Lake Nipigon MPP Gilles Poul- iot, who sent a letter to MTC Director W.D. Neili- povitz in Thunder Bay. Pouliot received a reply a few weeks ago, in which Neilipovitz said he can ap- preciate the concern that the use of Highway 17 be- tween Schreiber and Terr- ace Bay by cyclists and pedestrians may be some- what "hazardous."' "*As well as having to contend with high volumes of highway traffic, many of which are large trucks, their problems are agg- ravated by the fact that the highway shoulders are gra- vel," Neilipovitz admitted in the letter. He also said Pouliot's suggestion to provide cycl- ists and pedestrians with a fully paved highway be- tween the two communities has "merit."' But he then added that the order of priorities bas- ed on need does not permit the MTC sufficient funds to provide paved shoulders for bicycle use only. "*Nevertheless, it is our policy, when we are pro- posing to resurface por- tions of the Trans-Canada Highway, to examine the traffic benefits of includ- ing partially or fully pav- ed shoulders in our capital construction projects,'" he also said. Neilipovitz told Pouliot that the performance of Highway 17 between the two North Shore towns is presently being monitored. The MTC Director also said that that pavement condition of the section.of highway between Quebéc Street and the CP Rail Overhead in Schreiber is such that there is justif- ication to consider it for in- clusion in the Ministry's five year construction pro- gram. "Tf this occurs, our de- sign will include an analy- sis of incorporating part- ially paved shoulders, ful- ly paved shoulders, or a length of extra driving lane in this four kilometre sect- ion,"' he explained. A charge of wounding was laid by Terrace Bay Police against a local man following an incident last week in which another man was stabbed with a knife during a fight. The resident who was Such a project: would still have to go through a review, along with all other projects in Northwestern Ontario, to determine its priority and importance with respect to funding. "I trust this addresses the concerns of your con- stituents who walk or cycle along the highway," Neili- povitz said in the letter to Pouliot. "Our Ministry continues to promote bicy- cle safety and the education of cyclists and motorists to acknowledge the road use right of each other." Man knifed charged will appear in court on July 16. The in- jured man was not ser- iously wounded, according to one source. No other details were released by Terrace Bay Police Chief Russ Phillips. Derby prizes won by locals Anglers from Terrace Bay took the top three prizes at the annual Ross- port Fish Derby held this month. Andy Dequanne, hus- band of former Terrace Bay-Schreiber News ad- vertising manager Gigi De- quanne, finished first with his 12 pound, 11 ounce lake trout. He will prob- ably take a substitute for the original first prize of a 12 foot aluminum boat. Second in the Derby was Lea Halonen, who won a Wieben's fly-in fishing trip for two after landing a 12 pound, three ouncer. Glen McGee was third with an 11 pound, seven ounce effort, good enough for a power trimmer. Ole Ruoho of Nipigon won the $1,000 attendance prize draw and was also one of three mystery weight prize winners. The others were Irene Bailey of Terrace Bay and Gary Young from Toronto. There were, according to one source, a total of 384 trout entered in the event.

An unexpected "special feature" of one of the rides at the Midway held in Terrace Bay on July 11 and 12 was the application of a bucket of water to a hapless rider, as shown in the photographs above and below. Actually, 11-year-old Darcy Rennette of Terrace Bay knew this would be a possibility, but he got on the ride anyway. At least Darcy found one way to keep cool during a warm summer day. The Midway, put on by Maple Leaf Amusements of Winnipeg, Manitoba and held on Simcoe Plaza, included many other rides as well as some games and a food booth or two. (Photographs by Conrad Felber)
