However, one thing was slightly different from other torch runs. The torch was not lit. It was explained to the runners that if the torch was lit, the flame would burn their hair. So off they went without the flame, but with just as much enthusiasm. The run is being held to raise money for the Special Olympics and will also go towards pro- grams for the disabled, said Detective Sergeant Phil Walsh with the Toronto OPP. The Ontario leg of the run, one of ten being held across the coun- try, began at the Manitoba border. It will end at the Ester Shiner Stadium in North York this Thursday, August 10 at which time runners from all ten legs of the run will enter the stadium at the same time. This run does not cover every kilometre from Manitoba to Toronto, but it does stop in partic- ipating communities along the way. On Saturday, the torch passed through Nipigon, Schreiber, Terrace Bay, Marathon, White River and Wawa. This is the third year for the run and the second year it has passed through Northern Ontario. Along with Walsh, three other officers make up the four member coordinating team: Inspector Rod Williams with OPP training in Brampton, Sergeant Bruce Greig with York Regional, and Constable Darryl Davies with the RCMP. These four help local people through two towns and authorities with the run through towns. A video is being made of the run which will be used to help promote the run and to show sponsors (GM, Venture Inns, Watertower Inn, Best Western and the Big Bird Inn). Walsh said although some citi- zens do get involved with the run, it is mostly law enforcement peo- ple who take part in the running. He added that in some communi- ties, the disabled join in the run. This year's goal is to raise $300,000 which would be about a 20 per cent increase over last year's total of around $245,000. Walsh said he expects there will be some sort of recognition of the police's efforts at the National Games for the Physically Disabled being held in Richmond B.C. August 20 to 27. DAG preparing for Fall Fair D.A.G.*had a smaller than usual attendance Thursday, July 20th due to a conflicting fact- finding meeting by the Recreation Association.

Shirley read a letter received from the Recreation Association who has retained a consulting firm to prepare a Master Plan of parks and recreation for Terrace Bay. The accompanying question- naire had been dealt with by the executive and approved by the membership, giving many recom- mendations from the viewpoint of a senior or handicapped person. A very encouraging letter had been received from Jan Mah, the new Community Development worker who enquired if she could help D.A.G. in regard to accessi- bility. She had written to her director in Red Rock concering the Schreiber office which 'was not accessible to the handicapped and listing many other frustra- tions of the disabled person. D.A.G. had received a letter from Shawn Prince asking for assistance to compete at the National Games for the Physically Disabled in Richmond, B.C. in August: He had qualified by his successful competition in the Provincial Games. It was agreed to investigate further and a motion passed following this investigation, A farewell presentation to Estelle Wallwin was made by - Shirley on behalf of D.A.G. in appreciation of her faithful attcn- dance to our cause. Vice President Elaine Mannisto continued with the business of the meeting as Shirley left to attend the Recreation mect- ing together with Pat Auger. It appears we are on hold with regard to the school accessibility. A report on the present status of Lifeline was given by Gertrude Cotton. A report on the Transit Committee showed they were waiting for a reply from_Trottier Bus Lines. Elaine announced - there would be a round table dis- cussion in Geraldton with Town Councils. Ideas for the Fall Fair were sought. Estelle recommended the balance of the Canada Day bal- loons be given out to children. The Shill jacket donated by Jim Mikus will be raffled by D.A.G. and Estelle donated a stuffed panda bear for a second draw. This was accepted with apprecia- . tion. During the coffee period Gertrude Cotton spoke on her visit to Port Alberni B.C. and the services and facilities available for seniors and handicapped, with its many examples for us to fol- low. The next meeting of D.A.G. will be on August 17th in the lobby of McCausland Hospital. Everyone is welcome.
