Page 2, News, 'Tuesday; October 23, 1990 By Robert Cotton The News Terrace Bay's first annual Terry Fox Run to raise money for cancer research went ahead despite a cold day of freezing rain. Run organizer, Janet LeClair of Terrace Bay, said the event was a definite success. "Between the pledges and the sales of books, T-shirts and but- tons we raised $950 dollars," About 20 participants, most 'lof them children, took part in the event which took place Sunday, POct. 14. LeClair singled out two out- standing participants, Amy Colebourne and Kelly Anne Rochon. These two young girls raised $347 between them, Amy with $171 and Kelly Anne with $176. This year is the tenth anniver- sary of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope for cancer research. In 1980, the one- legged runner Fox marathon run a first for Terrace Bay attempted to cross Canada but was forced to end his run east of Thunder Bay. Fox died shortly afterwards. Betty and Rolly Fox asked LeClair to organize a run when they were in Terrace late last August. Limited time made impossible to hold the Terrace Bay run on the same day as the national event, held on September 16. 'LeClair said there will be a Terry Fox run in Terrace Bay next year on the same day as the national run and she hopes to see everyone there, running walking or roller skating through the course. "If 8 year olds can do it so can all the older people out she," she challenged. LeClair expressed her thanks to the participants, Birchwood Terrace.

Career Week Workers and their shadows Next week it will be "Me and My Shadow" for high school stu- dents and local employers as the students accompany local work- ers on the job for the day as part of Canada Career Week. The objective of Careér Week is to open up for young Canadians the world of new and rewarding career opportunities, Leslie Dickson of the Schreiber-Terrace Bay Community Futures Organization said over 55 employers in the area are offering 250 placements to students for job shadowing. "The idea of shadowing is that the students should watch and observe like a shadow for one day," she said, "They're not expected to work." Each student will be on a job site for one day. It will take about two days to get every student out. "We don't want to disrupt the schools or the employers any more than necessary," Dickson said. Only 30 per cent of the stu- dents at Lake Superior High School are involved in the Co-op Education and Work Experience programs. The Shadowing experience will give all students, Grade 11 and up, the chance to participate. As for the employers, they will have the opportunity to encourage students to choose a career based on the local job opportunities and to gain the necessary skills and education required to fill these positions. The Shadowing program is organized by a local committee with representatives from the high school staff, the Community Futures Organization and major employees in the area. Lec STR. TS Mainstream Canada uae) Carving up the pie By Terry O'Shaughnessy Entrepreneurs are a very competi- tive lot. They know, perhaps better than anyone, that the best product or service at the best price wins the cus- tomer. So it's no surprise that small business owners are frequently dis- mayed by the quality, or lack of it, of banking service in Canada. The so- called Big Six banks, loath to adapt to changing times and protected by charter for so long, have conducted the business of banking in this coun- try with all the savvy of the Age of the Dinosaurs. But'a light, however small, recently appeared at the end of the tunnel. After a long delay, legis- lation reforming rules pertaining to financial institutions was finally tabled in Ottawa. : With a promise to increase compe- tition among the 3,000 financial insti- tutions across Canada while bringing in tough new rules to prevent future failures, it took the federal government five years--and three ministers--for this legislation to finally be unveiled. Minister of State for Finance, Gilles Loiselle, said the new policy should benefit, consumers by encouraging more competition both at home and abroad. Among other things, the government is proposing that trust and loan companies be given full commer- cial and consumer lending powers. All of-which points to a more competitive market in the future. And that's good news says Catherine Swift, vice president of research and chief economist of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. 'There is no question that, in the long run, deregulation will necessitate a change in attitudes in the banking community," says Swift. '"With trust companies allowed into commercial . lending on the same footing as the banks, for example, the banks will be forced to become more competitive-- and that can only be good news for customers. Many of our members already tend to prefer non-bank financial institutions, such as credit unions or trust companies, for just that reason."' 2 In the short run, Swift points out, small business owners will also be happy to note that the banks will be prohibited from retailing insurance through their branch networks or entering the auto leasing business. "The entry of the banks into insur- ance retailing, for example, could drive independent insurance brokers out of business and would be detrimental to healthy competition among the smaller players. Needless to say, healthy com- petition ensures lower prices and bet- ter service for customers." And that, concludes Swift, will be the best news of all. ) Noriinem NOTICE OUR $5000.00 Truckload Sale Shopping Spree Grand Prize Winner is Colettle McGee | of Wawa Ontario oe |
