Company of Sirens to perform anti-racism play in Terrace Bay The intricacies of racial discrimination in schools, the workplace and the media are often difficult to present without being negative or dull. However the Company of Sirens, a professional women's theatre company, manages to deal this issue, in its production No Problems Here, in ways that both enlightening and entertaining. In a Series of vignettes, personal testimonies, myths and songs, the show is designed to express how racial intolerance appears in the community. The play challenges the tendency to see racism as "out there, but not in my backyard." It demonstrates how the attitude of "no problems here" can lead only to "no solutions here." This theatrical presentation on anti-racism can be seen at 1 p.m., Lake Superior High School, Terrace Bay campus, on Tuesday, April 2. The Company of Sirens presentation of No Problems Here is supported by the Multicultural Association of Northwestern Ontario, Department of the Secretary of State, Regional Multicultural Youth Council and the Ministry of Citizenship. Seniors enjoy Lion's Club sleigh ride Senior citizens from both Terrace Bay and Schreiber enjoyed the beautiful warm weather of Sunday March 17, with a sleigh ride at Jackfish Lake. The event, sponsored by the Lions Club, was popular and attracted enough people that Garth Morris made two runs along the trail winding through the bush. Morris and his son, Chris, had the two Clydesdale horses, Ben and Alf, hitched and ready to go when the first group arrived. Ben, a horse always eager to get on the trail, reared up in anticipation and the ride was on. The second group arrived on schedule and while they enjoyed the ride, which takes about 40 minutes, the first group gathered in the chalet to enjoy a steaming cup of hot chocolate or spiced tea and snack on crackers and cheese, all prepared by Vicki Morris. Jack Handel-of Schreiber gave the Lions a bolo tie with the Lions emblem on it , some continuous attendance pins and some lapel pins he had been holding since the old Schreiber Lions Club had to give up its charter several years ago. Members of the Terrace Bay-Schreiber Lions Club also provided rides for the seniors to Jackfish Lake and home again. «ty . e, THE ROYAL a jt "LIFE SAVING "uv # SOCILTY CANADA 'aMao> - BE WATER SMART.
