Twenty-four girls from Terrace Bay, Schreiber, Marathon and Manitouwadge left last Friday for a week of fun in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The girls and chaperones trav- elled by chartered bus to Thunder Bay, where 12 more girls were picked up. When they arrive in Winnipeg, the girls will be visiting various local sights such as the Royal Canadian Mint and _ the Legislative Buildings. A cruise on the River Rouge tour boat is also 'on their itinerary. One of the highlights of the trip will be Folklorama which is a city-wide celebration of various cultures. Each country in the world is represented by a pavil- lion somewhere in town that serves native food, drink, and shows the culture of the country. The girls will be staying at the Viscount Gort Hotel accompanied by chaperones Liette Hunter- Division Supervisor of the Superior Division, Jackie Jung and Pam Jones. : The girls will return this Saturday.

Beachcommemoration.. . , As mentioned earlier, the Board's staff (Secretariat) situa- tion has gone from bad to worse (13 to 3). We remain optimistic, however, that we will manage to sort things out in the near future. Efforts to automate and privatize have not resolved the staffing problem. We expect to recruit an experienced toponymist (names researcher) this or next week- who, incidentally, may well be a former staffer who is familiar with the North of Superior coun- try. Jackfish Lake included. We should then be off to a flying Start. In the interim, I am writing to confirm receipt of and acknowl- edge letters and phone calls con- cerned with the Terry Fox and George Gerow commemorative requests (Aug 10/81 & Jul 20/81 resp.), not to mention contacts arranged with Terrace Bay - Jackfish Lake area residents such as Charlotte Kniep, Arthur Mercure, Paul Strassburger, etc. Everyone has been most helpful in providing local input for the Board. At out January 7 Meeting we unanimously approved and recommended the name 'Terry Fox Beach' for adoption as the official name for the beach in question, and in memory of Terry's visit there on August 26, 1980. Many thanks for your help in making it all possible. We will forward the appropriate docu- mentation endorsed by the Minister as soon as possible. With my sincerest regards, Michael B. Smart Executive Secretary By Monica Wenzlaff The News The Terrace Bay Police are concerned about the number of recent cases involving scratched cars. In the past few months, nine John Wilcox, Employee Relations Superintendent at Minnova Inc., presented Karen Ramsay, Treasurer of the Boy Scout Group Committee, with a cheque for $2,500 to go towards the Whitesand Project on behalf of Minnova. Photo by Angie Saunders cases of cars being scratched have been reported in Terrace Bay. A sharp object was used in each case, and extensive damage was done. "At least a thief steals and uses something," said Chief Don Kidder. "Only an idiot would do something this stupid. What does a person gain?" Unfortunately, all of the inci- dents have been random and the police have found no common ties. Since the crimes have usual- ly occurred late at night, Kidder is certain that kids aren't involved. "The good kids in this town will start to be blamed for crimes that in my mind they aren't com- mitting," said Kidder. He said that kids are off the streets that late at night. The latest case of this vandal- ism occurred on Thursday, August 9. The police ask that anyone with information regard- ing these crimes contact them immediately. GAMLPAGIOLA CAIIMAIECIO'SS Fireworks - continued from 1 Thunder Bay and cost approxi- mately $10,000. The fireworks were manufactured by Hans Fireworks, one of the two manu- facturers of fireworks throughout Canada. Once the fireworks were deliv- ered, each shell and cannister had to be carefully checked to make sure there was no damage. They were then sorted so the display could be planned. "The fireworks are fairly stan- dard, but you can make your own display," said Roland Moquin, the town fire chief. "We try to co- ordinate them so we get a colour show." | Each individual shell is identi- fied by name. Silver palms, shooting stars, jitterbugs, tarantel- las, haymakers, and tangos are several kinds that are most com- mon, and most recognizable. "Some make a lot of noise and have no real show," said Moquin. "It's all to the eye of the behold- er: 'Setting up the display took a few hours. Each cannister had to be buried two to three feet deep in the sand to ensure that they would stay stable when the fire- works were set off. The volunteers were kept busy throughout the show. Each per- son had a separate responsibility, ranging from loading or cleaning the cannisters, to igniting each individual firework. Each cannis- ter was used to release seven or eight different fireworks. our September Fair. . f \ August is sewing month and we are cele- brating with specials for back to school and Calico Prints were $5.99 , now $3.99/m.

Fortunately, only one minor incident occurred this year, when a shell went off pre- maturely in one of the cannisters on the ground. No one was injured because the men were all wearing their protective firefight- ing equipment. "Safety is very important. All precautions are taken," said Mogquin, who added that the fire- works were inspected one final time before the show began. Several hundred people went out to the beach to enjoy the dis- play.
