Profile This Week If you just happened to have noticed a strange face around the Bank of Montreal in Schreiber, that's o.k. His name is Donald Smith, and he just hap- pens to be your new bank manager. Donald has been transferred to Schreiber from Assiniboia, Sask,- which is quite a change of scenery as far as Don is concerned. Donald has been with the Bank of Montreal for the past 11 years so if you're wotried about his com- petence or experience, stay calm - he's more than qualified to handle your banking needs. In general Donald is quite pleased with his new transfer. "I'm very positive on my new job, Meet Donald Smith - "Your money isn't his only interest' the town and its people," stated Donald. "The people here are more than friendly; they seem to go out of their way to make sure that you're comfortable in Schreiber."' Changing of bank managers isn't some- thing new. It's been a standard practice of all the banks for quite some time now. Donald stat- ed that he has indeed been placed on transfer on more occasions than he would care to admit. "The transfers are beginning to slow up and the normal length of stay has not been aver- aging about three years," he told us. Donald knows that he has just taken up resi- dence in one of the oldest towns on the North Shore but he looks upon this as an ad- vantage. "Schreiber is an old, established town and filled with old fa-. milies. Everybody either knows everybody else or they are related to each other. But there's enough new blood mov- ing in and out of Schrei- ber to keep things from going stale." Aside from the bank- ing end of his life, Don- ald stays busy keeping in shape. A walking example of "Participac- tion', Don can easily fit in with all. kinds of recreation that the area has to offer. If a rec- reation complex filled with all the modern Environment Ontario charges E.B. Eddy Forest Products The Ontario Ministry of the Environment has laid four charges under the Federal _ Fisheries Act against E.B. Eddy Forest Products Ltd., and two charges under the same legislation against each of two com- pany officials for dis- charges into the Span- ish River from the com- pany's Espanola mill. Environment Minis- ter, Mr. Andy Brandt said the decision to take legal action was taken in consultation with Na- tural Resources Minister Alan Pope, after exten- sive investigation by staff of the Ministries of the Environment and Natural Resources, co- ordinated by Environ- ment Ontario's special investigation unit. All charges under sec- tion 33(2) of the Fish- eries Act relate to the deposit of deleterious substances in water in- habited by fish. Three counts against the com- pany involve discharge of a contaminant, July 4, 5, and 6th, resulting in high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in the river. The fourth re- lates to the July Sth spill of soap material from the plant. Douglas McMullan, Vice President of manu- facturing and Darwin Howard, Superintend- ant of pulping at the Es- panola plant, each face two charges of permit- ting the discharges causing high BOD July 4th and Sth. BOD-causing sub- stances are material which combine with ox- ygen in water depleting the dissolved oxygen which fish need to sur- vive. The soap material, Area Bicentennial Co-ordinators appointed Eight Bicentennial co- ordinators have been appointed to areas in Ontario by the Ministry of Citizenship and Cul- ture, to encourage com- munities to celebrate the province's 200th birth- day in 1984.

In addi- tion, these area repre- sentatives will be en- couraging organiza- tions and communities to co-ordinate their acti- vities to prevent over- lapping of events.

"Every com- munity will have the opportunity to cele- brate its heritage. We want everyone to join in saluting the lives and achievements of those who have made each community great, and therefore, this province great."

He's content to hunt or dip his line into the nearest watering hole. If a facility is available however - Don's right in his glory. Not only is he happy participating in sports ranging from golf to long-distance running - he's also a qualified organizer. While in uni- versity, he majored for two years in physical education plus another year in physio-therapy.

Mr. Brandt said he was working in close co- operation with Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope to ensure proper cleanup and rehabilita- tion of the river and that discussions had been held with John Lane, MPP for Algoma- Manitoulin on the im- pact on the community. Brandt stated that en- vironment staff were on the scene as soon as the spill was reported and that they worked as quickly and effectively as possible to investi- gate the situation, gath- er all the evidence and work with the legal staff to prepare the appro- priate charges. Cleanup on the river is still continuing under the direction of the En- vironment Ministry and 'NO Wi Natural Resources crews are starting studies to determine the remain- ' ing fish population in the river. Natural Resources Minister. Alan Pope stated that he is deter- mined to see that the river is restored to its former condition as quickly as possible. He also stated that a "quick fix-up'"' is unlikely but suggested that options might include: the. 'transfer of adult fish from other waters; re- habilitation of fish spawning and nursery. areas; stocking of hat- chery-reared fish such as muskellunge, small- mouth bass and possibly an experimental at- tempt to culture wall- eye fry at a site near the Spanish River. ; TERRACE BAY!
