Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 16, 1983, page 3 "The Forest in Crisis" THANK YOU by GEORGE MAREK The Forest in Crisis - an NFB film made on location in Beardmore, Armstrong, Limestone Lake etc., received sec- ond prize at the Society of American Foresters' Forestry Film Festival, 1982, in the U.S.A. Many of the. Forest- ers, and their industrial employers, in Ontario, who saw the film, felt it was negative and in some parts untrue, thereby stimulating a , fair amount of discus- sion and even argu- ment. This is very interest- ing to me for very spe- cific reasons. I was per- sonally involved in the making of this film from its inception, and have spent several hours with the-producer and co- director. | was aware of Community billboard The next regular meeting of the Auxiliary to the McCausland Hos- pital will be held on Monday, February 21 at 8 p.m. in the high school library in Schreiber. Guest speaker will be Kathy Smith, the Com- munity Resources Work- er. Everyone is wel- come to attend. Easter items are needed for sale in the hospital gift shop - donations may be brought to the meeting. the film's stronger and weaker points. The main strong point is its spontaneity. It was shot on location without any elaborate prepara- tion, script, or set. It depicted the true situa- tion in selected forest conditions. It was done on a very tight schedule, and perhaps more time for shooting would have been beneficial, and would have definitely improved the total qual- ity of the production. I think that the sole purpose of this film was to make the public aware of the very ser- ious problem in our for- ests, and it did just that. It is true that some posi- tive aspects of our pro- vincial forest manage- ment could have been included - for instance, in the Limestone Lake scene, only an unsuc- cessful plantation was shown and commented ss Carnival... continued from page 1 * Mauger at 3 Ib. 3 oz. and Trent Desaulniers won the Northern Pike cate- gory with a 2 Ib. 10 oz. fish. The winners of the Hockey Pools were Sharon O'Driscoll and John Figliomeni with a prize of $50 each. The Winner of the Carnival Button Draw was W. Gallagher who won a prize of $170. At the end of the Carnival Organizer Bill Savage of the Kinsmen said, "The Kinsmen would like to thank all the people and or- ganizations who work- ed to make this year's Carnival a success."' BIRTH on. On the old cut-overs only very poorly re- stocked area was shown. However, to have shown a few acres of experimentaly -hybrid poplar plantations in, southern Ontario would have distorted the "true" picture of the north. To have shown the large areas of cut- 'over sites regenerated by nature itself to poor quality Balsam Fir trees would have been even more misleading. This film has caused concern and even con- sternation in some cor- porate boardrooms - so be it - this is what has been needed for a long. long time. We would like to express our thanks to our Families & Friends who sent flowers and cards to us during our recent loss. Special thanks to Dr. Wilkes and the nursing staff at the hospital for their kindness and support.

It might even mean a student's education comes to a sudden stop. SUMMER CANADA is designed to change that -- by helping employers help students. e If you are astudent interested in real work experience, you should register at your local Canada Employment Centre. If you are amember of a non-profit organization that would like funding to hire students, read on.
