Wednesday, February. 15, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Page 3 Anne's seen worse roads too Continued from page 2 besides dry goods, hardware, drugs, and so on. My building is about 20 feet off Boon street. I discovered that snow was pushed up against my home, all over the outside basement entrance, over the gas tanks and the cement blocks where the gas tanks stations for pumps stood. It is a wonder that the snow blades weren't broken. This was all done without my permission. The former highway crews always put a high drift on both sides of Boon Street. When they had excess snow, they always pushed it across the street to our empty lots over there, thus not in anyones way and we never minded that. I have asked to discontinue this dumping of snow on my home property. If they are short of work- ers why don't they hire men that aren't employed to work - if they can't drive a vehicle, surely they can wield a shovel. We need men like our retired highway men that are pensioned now, such as Romeo Bouchard, Dave Mushqush, Eungen Gerow, Felix and Herb Legault and others. who knew how to and keep the highway in excel- lent condition. Here's hoping that the heavy machines of today don't cause the cement block enclosure : 'built over tracks and route above of basement entrance to collapse or melted snow leak into my base- ment. The original highway 17 ran through our village along the shore- line to-Selim where it crossed Over the CPR tracks in a double "S" curve and never had an accident. Old Bailey bridges were used over creeks and rivers. In the late fifties permission to crews that they could put surplus snow on our empty lots across the street. So there was no excuse to cover my basement entrance or push snow up against my home. We always had piles of snow here. It has displeased me a great deal for anyone to the the liberty. THAT'S HOW MANY CANADIANS ARE FIGURE SKATERS and early sixties the village was by- passed at the west end and bridges the lakeshore. The late George Kay was the road foreman at the time and Ted Lynch was the contractor who con- S structed the change over. Now we have both an east and west turnoff to the highway. This year-is no exception for heavy snowfall, high drifts, door- ways blocked, snow piled over halfway over windows. We gave | ty 090 Comoe!

Feel just a smidgin of the old pio- neer spirit still bubbling in your tired blood? There is a provocative but dis- creet item in the January issue of Harrowsmith that you might want to explore: in the "Emporium - Mail-Order Products.and Services" section the headline "Canadian Lands" caught my eye. Would you believe you can buy 5.5 acres of N. Ontario camping site for just $2,998? Or would you rather have a 40-acre British Columbia retreat for $8,466? Think of the veggies and fruit you could probably grow on 3 acres of Nova Scotia river- front! Only $4,979 to buy all three acres! The H. M. Dignam Corp. has been in business for 73 years, according to the ad, and I'll bet there are some very exciting human interest stories to be told about land deals. One's motivation in pursuing such a message and ultimately buy- ing a piece of real estate is the stuff of novels and T.V. shows.

Nesbitt motivation wrote the history of the world and the biographies of dozens of explorers. It also trig- gered wars and destruction down through the centuries. It seems the human animal's ter- ritorial urge is as strong and vital to his happiness as it is to wild ani- mals and birds. So what do we do? Some of us tolerate the city's jungle long enough to make enough money to get out of it. Some, of course, are sufficiently gregarious to actually enjoy living in cities! It is unfortunate that there are so few acreages left after man 'improves' the land, for farming or 'utilizes' it for timber harvesting, but maybe, just maybe, even a few small plots such as advertised might, just might, provide vital ecological odses across the land. Let's carry our day-dream one step further - let's hope that every- one who buys one of these proper- ties has a vision of a_restored and viable corner of the earth where Nature can carry on her splendid organization and exquisite balance. Let's hope that man will soon be caring enough to protect the earth he lives on. a oe + | LINDA PELTO Tax Service 824-3044 r I I I I t I I I I I I L FISH SUPPLIES Now. available at PHIL'S PET BIRDS & SUPPLIES 137 Drummond, Schreiber 824-2354 Doug Luke WELDING SERVICE 4 Beaver Creek Road, Terrace Bay See We are now fully equipped to do all types of welding fabricating and repairs of aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, mild steel, etc. Tig & stick welding Mig welding & wire feeders Shop phone 825-9449 Residents 825-3653 THE NORTH SHORE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING COMMITTEE In co-operation with Confederation College and .
