Some stories were Library Week 20° read to them and as they left, they all received ' a free balloon, which one youngster used to hide his face in this photograph taken on. their walk back to the school. Control order extended Ministry to audit K--C The Ontario Ministry of the Envir- onment has announced it will conduct a financial audit of the Kimberly- Clark pulp mill in Terrace Bay before it grants the company a long-term en- vironmental control order to replace, the one which is due to expire at the end of this week. Bob Reguly, of the Ministry's Communications office in Toronto, said on Monday in a telephone inter- . view that the present control order will be extended for three months un- til Jan. 31, 1987 to give the Ministry's accounting firm time to complete the audit. Reguly said he was notf'sure if the firm has started work on the audit. but he noted that the audit is to be completed by the end of November. A Ministry news release dated Oct. 22 explained that the K-C. mill has stated it is losing money and cannot afford to install new pollution control equipment. The release added that such equipment is necessary to meet the final requirement of the Min- istry's current control order. K-C has gone on record as saying its lack of investment capital is the main reason behind the mill's inabili- ty to meet the federal government's limits for toxicity in pulp mill effluent. "After completion of the audit, the Ministry will decide on the type and scope of environmental requirements that are appropriate," Environment Minister Jim Bradley said. "Those requirements will be determined with full public participation."' That public participation, Reguly said, will include a public meeting to be held in January on the proposed long-term control order, which al- ready exists in draft form. Such a meeting was originally scheduled for this week, but Reguly said in light of the control order extension, that ses- sion had to be cancelled. He explained that the audit will concentrate on the Terrace Bay pulp mill alone, and not the multi-national company as a whole. ""We are not saying we think they are lying (about) their losses," he stressed, adding that an audit is stan- dard procedure in such a process. Kimberly-Clark of Canada Presid- ent Jack Lavallet was out of town on Monday, and Al Chisholm, Director of Industrial Relations, also could not be reached. The Ministry's Regional Director, Wally Vrooman, was not available for comment at press time. TB Chrysler closes The News has learned that Terrace Bay Plymouth Chrysler has closed its doors, and the sales lot at the car and Dodge truck dealership has been emptied of all vehicles. The President of the company, Ray Pichette, could not be reached for comment, but an unidentified source told the News on Monday that the company has totally disassociated itself from Chrysler and has return- ed all of its cars to the parent company. The body shop will remain open at the building, but it will not handle any warranty work, the source added. Those with unexpired Chrysler war- ranties on their cars will now have to go out of town for warranty work. Further details were unavailable at press time. Yvon Lionel Carrier, a 37-year-old Schreiber resi- dent, has been sentenced to life imprisonment and will serve at least 12 years before being eligible for parole after being found guilty of the Dec. 6, 1985 murder of a Terrace Bay man. Alfred Petrone of Thunder Bay, _ Carrier gets life Carrier's attorney in the case, said he would probably appeal the verdict. Mr. Justice' Douglas Carruthers handed down the sentence last week in Thunder Bay a few days after an Ontario Supreme Court jury found Carrier guilty of second degree murder in the shooting death of Vasil *'Bill" Mateev, 56. Carrier had pleaded not guilty to a charge of first degree murder. Petrone said he had been seeking a maximum of a manslaughter verdict for his client. Schreiber man publishes novel By Conrad Felber Cosimo Filane, a Schreiber native and motel manager, can now add "author" to his list of impressive ac- complishments, which include record producer, singer, and minor hockey league coach for over 20 years. Filane used his coaching exper- iences to write '"'You Can't Win Them All,"' which he calls a work of fiction based on fact. He said he got the idea for such a book when he-realized there were few, if any books on minor hockey, especially fictional stories. He started writing it about four years ago. The novel, based on the fictional town of Fallen Rock but which men- tions both Terrace Bay and Schreiber throughout, was completed last year. Filane and his business manager Al Wilson then began a search for a publisher. They eventually found one in Quebec. Several hundred copies of the first printing, which he only received about a month ago, have already been sold. Filane said some of his customers have been both area school boards and libraries. The novel might go into a second printing next year. He and Wilson are now planning to write a screenplay based on the book, as Filane feels the book '*could make a great movie." The script may be completed before the end of this year. Filane said his ultimate goal would be to have the movie shot right in Schreiber, if it is ever made. Right now, though, his immediate goal is to sell the book, which is cur- rently available in many local stores, including Costa's, Schreiber Food Market, the Bay, and Spadoni's Department Store in Schreiber. "We are also arranging for distribution through the major book chains, like. Coles and Classic,"' Filane explained. The novel is also available at Filane's own Fallen Rock Motel and the Cosiana Inn, located in Schreiber. He said his novel is very much bas- ed on his coaching experiences in the North Shore. He has coached mostly Schreiber Atom and Pee Wee teams, though this year he is coaching a midget division team in the new Fallen Rock Minor Hockey League, which he helped to create. continued on page 2 Filane writes book Cosimo Filane, a Schreiber native and business man, can now add "author" to his list of credits, as his book "You Can't Win Them All," a fictitious book about minor hockey, has been publish- ed and released.
