Heveen If it had not been for the poor attendance at the July 3 Reveen show, Terrace Bay's extensive Canada Day celebrations held earl- ier this month would have probably made money in- stead of ending up over budget, town clerk Larry Simons explained. At the July 14 meeting of Township Council, Sim- @ns was asked about the évent, so he brought out a preliminary budget which did not include a few more expenses and revenue still to come in. "*Right now we are on- ly about $1,100 over what was projected," he told Council. Reveen, a world famous mentalist, put on a show in Terrace Bay on Ju- ly 3.

Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, July 23, 1986, page 7 Revue put Canada Day over budget: clerk cost of the show, budgeted ,, at $5,000. "Apart from Reveen, Canada Day would have come out under budget,"' Simons noted. A_ final budget figure will be prepared once all the amounts are in, he added. Money was also a con- cern when it came to a decision about a donation for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Council had received a letter from the Township of Barclay requesting support for a Canoe-A-Thon on the Albany River to raise funds for MS. "We just made a cont- ribution to MS last week,"' George Ramsay, Acting Reeve pointed out. He had presented a $100 cheque to Richard Beecroft, who is cycling across Canada on a fund-raising trip for the crippling disease. '*Unless someone makes a motion, maybe we should not entertain this," he add- ed. The letter was then put on file. A motion was passed, though, to request that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications re- paint the runway markings at the Terrace Bay Airport this year. Doug Baker, township engineer, explained that the projected cost for such a project is $3,700, plus an additional $240 for lines on the road to the airport from Highway 17. Baker noted that the run- way markings are equival- ent to seven miles of high- way lines. "'We considered doing this last year and we pro- crastinated on it," he told Council. "It needs to be done, and there is an amount in the budget for it this year."' Later in the meeting, Councillor Chris Joubert asked Baker about a pot- entially dangerous curve on Terrace Heights Drive. That portion of the road is protected with a number of large posts, but Joubert said they are not complet- ely satisfactory. Baker said he would come up with some alter- natives, which would be presented at a future Coun- cil meeting. Cable wants more $ A recent news release from the Canadian Radio- Television and Telecom- munications Commission (CRTC) noted that it has received an application from Sissons' Cable TV of Schreiber for an_install- ation fee increase. The application has ask- ed for an amendment to its licence by increasing the authorized maximum in- stallation fee from $25 to $50. The present maximum installation fee was auth- orized on January 12, 1981 by the CRTC. The Sissons' application is number 86- 1084200. Any person wishing to intervene in the application must submit a written inter- vention to the Secretary General of the CRTC. The address is CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A ON2. A true copy of the inter- vention must also be serv- ed upon the applicant on or before the deadline date of August 15, 1986. A proof of such service must be in- cluded with the original document addressed to the Secretary General. The release, dated July 11, added that interven- tions must be actually re- ceived on or before the deadline date and not mere- ly posted on that daté. An examination of the application and documents can be conducted during normal office hours at the Commission's Quebec off- ice (CRTC, Central Build- ing, Les Terrasses de la Chadiere, 1 Promendade du Portage, Room 561, Hull, Quebec, K1A 0N2), or at 224 Park Street in Schreiber.
