The Anglican Dio- cese of Algoma, 'which has traditionally been opposed to the ordina- tion of women priests, recently reversed its po- sition. The Right Rev- erend Les Peterson, Bishop of Algoma, made the unprecedented de- cision to ordain Miss Susan De Gouchy as a deacon in Sudbury, on May 2, 1984. The Vestry of St. John North of Superior Par- ish (for Schreiber, Ter- race Bay and Rossport), wrote a letter of con- gratulations and support to Bishop Peterson' and Miss DeGouchy. St bo the edifex More than 80 per cent of all Anglican Dioceses in North America, Australia, Nw Zeal- and and Hong Kong now ordain women to the priesthood. Support is growing in Britain and the African countries for the ordination of women as well. Manitouwadge speaks on minor hockey Dear Madam: This letter is partly in response to an article that appeared in your paper a few weeks ago -- regarding some remarks concerning Manitou- wadge and Marathon written by one of your staff. I was very upset by that article and feel that your assistant should have gotten some facts straight before printing a story in the paper. However, I'd like her opinion on the follow- ing: If some Terrace Bay parents are so concern- ed by the fun their children are having playing hockey, why do we continually have problems with them? Earlier in the season they could not attend a regular North Shore tournament in Manitou- wadge because we gave them too short notice. They knew a week in advance of this tourna- ment. This past weekend we re-scheduled a game from that weekend at their request. After ar- ranging for ice time, timekeepers, officials, etc., we were informed on Friday night at 9:00 p-m that they couldn't be bothered to travel to Manitouwadge to make up this game because they were in last place and it wouldn't make any difference any- way!! However, the re- sult of that game could have affected the stand- ings for all teams invol- ved. That's two week- ends we rescheduled ice Assistant's reply Dear Mrs. Szydlowski: I have written two articles on Minor Hockey and I am not sure to which you are referring. The first was the "Opinion" column where I expressed my personal opinion con- cerning the 3 and 2 minute rules. The second was a report on the executive meeting of the local association. Al- though many people commented on my op- inion, no one has yet questioned my "facts" other than to inform me of the history of the 2 and 3 minute 'rules, which I was told, have not been used in this area as in Thunder Bay. My primary purpose in writing the two arti- cles was to let local people know that there is a controversy so that there will be discuss- ion and rectification of the problem. In regards to your questions regarding the Terrace Bay Minor Hockey Association and your problems with them, I cannot speak for them as I am not directly time therefore residents of Manitouwadge lost their public ice time. My question is - are these people concerned with the enjoyment their children have playing hockey, is this showing good sportsmanship? Yours very truly; (An Atom Parent) Lynn Szydlowski, Manitouwadge, Ontario (Atom Convenor - Mani- touwadge Minor Hockey) involved. May I suggest that you express your concerns to your repre- sentative of the North Shore Minor Hockey League who can take your problems to a meeting. There, they can hopefully be an- swered. Good Luck, Lynne Badger Full support for Family Resource Centre Mr. Jack Stokes, M.P.P. Lake Nipigon Queen's Park, Toronto, Ont. Dear Jack: I would like to thank you for your letter of December 1, 1983 en- closing a copy of the telegram you received from the Project May- day Committee con- cerning the funding of transition houses for battered women in Northwestern Ontario. My: Ministry has been addressing the prob- lem of funding for transition houses in two phases. The first phase involved identifying those house that require immediate assistance to ensure that they do not close because of finan- cial difficulties before the end of the fiscal year. In the second 'phase, detailed financi- al information is being obtained from all transi- tion houses primarily for battered women in order to work out a longer term solution to their need for stable funding. Based on the initial in- formation available from Faye Peterson House in Thunder Bay and the Terrace Bay Showtimes. . -- 'Towne Cinema 825-3771 They're Back March 7, 8, 9 & 10, 1984 JOHN OLIVIA TRAVOLTA NEWTON-JOHN .

A more detailed examination of their financial situation indicated that some help was needed at once. Iam pleased to inform you that Faye Peter- son House has now re- ceived a cheque for some $20,000 to cover peddlars continued from page 1 not been revised since it was enforced. The delegation felt that the fee should be increased in the neigh- bourhood of $500.00 as this would attempt to discourage disreputable dealers. Reeve Speer as well as Councillor Bill Hous- ton felt that this re- quested increase was quite high and both ex- pressed concern over the fact that the town would be condemning free enterprise. Speer went on to say that free enterprise is endorsed by Terrace Bay and the merchants shouldn't be afraid of out-of-town competition. Terry Korzinski stated that peddlars don't em- ploy locally, the money they make isn't put back the period to March 31, 1984. In addition, the sum of $4,000 has been assigned to assist Ati- kokan Crisis House for the same period. It is my understand- ing that it will be neces- sary for Faye Peterson House to comply with municipal standards concerning zoning, fire safety and health before continued on page 6 into the community, and also that the peddlars don't have to pay the same amount of busi- ness tax that local mer- chants do. Council pointed out that the average business tax paid in the Simcoe Plaza area ran anywhere from $200-$650 per year - the average business tax was 30 per cent of their assessment and 25 per cent of their market value. Should the ped- diars licence fee be in- creased to $500 they would be charged more than local establish- ments. Council felt that it was time to re-evaluate the situation and take steps in increasing the fee. Considering the fact that Council cannot legally interfere in any way or form with free enter- prise, the fee will be increased in accordance with the surrounding communities.
