Chief Don Kidder of the Terrace Bay Police Department said. the explosives were exposed during a regular construction project. He stressed that the explosives had been buried at the site for "at least 15 years." Sources said that rumours began circulating through- out the day as to the origin and pur- pose of the dynamite. Chief Kidder strongly stressed that the explosives had been buired for years and possibly. "were left there by a cement production com- pany." In a joint effort by Terrace Bay and Schreiber OPP constables, the area was sealed off and secured. Traffic was halted at north and south road blocks on Mill Road as a precautionary measure while offi- cials awaited the arrival of the EDU. Chief Kidder told the News the sticks of dynamite were "encased in one case and deteriorated by dis- integration." Gerry Withers, head of security Kimberiy-Clark's mill, said the dis- |° covery and disposal of the dyna- mite had no effect on operations. The dynamite was neutralized and burned off. Chief Kidder said the dynamite requires some type of percussion or shock to set it off, . usually provided by blasting caps. Officials stated there were no blast- ing caps found at the site. Chief Kidder reminds the public to.contact the police if they discov- er "anything that appears to be an explosive." Should someone discover a cache of explosives, they ought to keep people back and make no effort to handle the find. Old explo- sives may become chemically unstable and react instantaneously.

They recently completed a detailed project which examined accessibility for physically handi- capped people in Schreiber and Terrace Bay. Students surveyed various public and private buildings in the two towns using an 'accessi- bility compliance checklist.' The checklist contained com- prehensive questions looking at such considerations as: parking lots; entrances/exits; accessible washrooms; drinking fountains and public telephones. The study was done at the request of the local Disability Action Group (DAG). DAG President Shirley Mikus said the purpose of the request was two-fold. The group wanted.a resource booklet for present and tion would have it readily available. The second purpose for the study was to develop and increase awareness and knowledge in the students of the handicapped as well as frail citizens in Terrace Bay and Schreiber. Doug Roberts, the teacher of the Man in Society class, said the study was beneficial and did develop an increased awareness in the stu- dents. "It's a good way of getting a greater insight...a greater apprecia- tion and understanding of what it 'means to be handicapped," Roberts said. Sue Kinney, one of the students involved in the study, agrees.

It was a little longer when they decided to move to Thunder Bay about three weeks ago. The family's reunion was_ fea- tured exclusively in the April 13 edition of the News. Miguel Antonio Huezo, a refugee from El Salvador, had moved to Schreiber after fleeing his homeland because of political persecution. The Schreiber Refugee Committee sponsored Miguel for a period of one year Miguel's family remained in their homeland, where his wife Dora cared for the couple's eight children. She tended to their needs alone for three years. The mother and her children were allowed to emigrate to Canada, and Miguel embraced. his wife, sons and daughters in the basement of St. John's. Anglican Church in Schreiber on the chilly morning of April 9. There was an immediate out- pouring of compassion and dona- tions from area residents, and plans were established by Schreiber Refugee Committee to get the fam- ily settled in their own residence as Shortly after the family settled in, each member underwent a reg- ular medical examination. Schreiber Refugee Committee members believe the decision of the family to relocate was base on the results of those medical tests. Chairman Bill Campbell told the News neither he nor the other members of the Schreiber Refugee Committee expected this develop- ment. "Tt came as a surprise to us. We had no idea there were problems," Campbell admitted. In a letter sent to the News last week, committee member Art Leblanc noted that Miguel's family "has chosen to relocate in Thunder Bay for better medical attention and specialized schooling for one of the children." Campbell said Immigration offi- cials from Thunder Bay began vis- iting the family about three weeks ago to discuss relocating for improved medical services. "They (Immigration officials) explained the benefits they would have in Schreiber as compared to the benefits they could have in Thunder Bay," Campbell told the News. "It was a decision made by the Huezos." Campbell. said Miguel was hired by CP Rail on May 12 and is working on a curve gang by with his family on his days off although he plans to keep Schreiber as his employment base. Despite the unexpected move, Campbell feels the family acted responsibly. "T think it was a good move on their part," he stated. "Not that there's anything wrong with ser- vices in our town, but with the spe- cialized care needed we just couldn't supply them with it." Leblanc and Campbell moved the family to Thunder Bay on May 14. In the back of the rented truck, all the donated clothing and posses- sions were neatly packed and secured. "That's what's going to see them through in the next couple of years," Campbell said of the food, clothing and other possessions donated by area residents. The News contacted an official at the Thunder Bay Immigration office, who referred inquiries to the Employment section. A record- ing at the employment section asked that a message be left, and the News could not contact offi- cials before deadline. "This has been a rich and rewarding experience for our asso- ciation," said Leblanc. "If we can élicit interest and support for spon- soring someone else less fortunate, we will give it very serious consid-
