Wednesday, June 28, 1989 orm Gladish, fire prevention technician with the MNR looks on as TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Page 5 Smokey Bear presents a packsack to Erin Jacob of Schreiber Public School. Jacob won the regional competition for designing a poster. Prizes were awarded to win- ners of the Ministry of Natural Resources Forest Fire Prevention Poster/Slogan Contest recently. Fire Prevention Technician Norm Gladish and assistant Smokey Bear were pleased to present a trophy and packsack to Erin Jacob, grade 4, Schreiber Public School. Jacob came in first place in the grade 3 and 4 catego- ry for the Terrace Bay district. Jacob then competed against other district winners from No sponsor for beer garden or dance just a sign of the times Dear Citizens of Terrace Bay: As you are by now aware through your copy of the Canada Day Brochure, there is no men- tion of the Canada Day Dance or the annual Beer Gardens of previ- ous years. Perhaps it is a sign of the times! Due to the tremendous responsibility and susceptibility of individuals who sign the Special Occasion Permits (neces- sary for such functions) to lawsuit in the case of accident etc... we have been unable to find a group to sponsor these events. A number of organizations do fault these groups in any way and do indeed see the wisdom in their judgement. There are those who contend that we can have celebrations without the use of alcohol! You bet we can and we will! see the funds that can be raised as profitable for their groups in order to function, but again are unable to find individuals from rer = d within willing to sign the needed Jo Ne permits. Chairman, Canada Day Committee As a committee we do not Atikokan, Geraldton and Nipigon in the regional competition. She then won first place for the Grade 3 and 4 category. Students were asked to design a poster with an appropriate slo- gan addressing the question "How can you help to prevent forest fires?" Over 250 posters were received from eight schools with- in the Terrace Bay District. Jacob was presented with a three-person tent and a plaque engraved with her name will be kept by Schreiber Public School for one year. The intent of the contest is to focus attention of children and parents on forest fire prevention. Runners up at Schreiber Public School were: Jeff Schroeder, Hilary Stewart, Alaina Waters and Andrew Hodder. Kanuk II earns his keep By Alice Scott Recently, thanks to the efforts of Constable Bert Logan, Schreiber children at the Public School and Holy Angels School were given a demonstration of the capabilities and duties of a police dog and his companion officer. Kanuk II is a two-and-a-half year old German Shepard. Before he even started training he was given a temperament test to see if he had the intelligence and stami- na to be a police dog. After showing he had the potential he was introduced to his partner, OPP Constable Paul Kaijmowicz. Then began the 3 1/2 month intense training session. First they learned basic obedi- ence work, then went on to advanced work. Kanuk will respond to hand signals for the commands heel, come, down, stay and sit. He will cross any obstacle if the constable assures him that it is safe. He shows complete faith in his trainer and unending devotion - they are as one when they work together. During the obedience training they also worked on tracking, drug detection and protection. They are both on 24 hour call and work for 16 districts. They have found lost hunters and chil- dren as well as assisting in drug raids. Kanuk will protect his trainer in any dangerous situation, but was like a docile puppy around the children. Constable Kaijmowicz and Kanuk II are two of the many unsung heroes of our society, and certainly deserve our thanks for their dedication and services. Other heroes who you may not know about are the "Dogs of War". Since World War I the army has had scout dogs. These dogs were usually family pets that were given to the army to be trained for war services. All types of breeds were used during the World Wars but in Vietnam German Shepards were the most popular breed. Many service men's lives were saved by these dogs. The dogs were used for messenger service and bomb detection. Now some ex-Vietnam service men are trying to have a plaque, with all the dogs who died in ser- vice, erected as a memorial. As one Vietnam Vet said, "Scout dogs no longer exist in the military, and the memory of their service is quickly fading. These dogs deserve to be remembered." W.L. Mitchell, A.M.C.T.
