Peter Romanuk (I) signs his oath as the new Councillor for the Township of Terrace Bay. Looking on is Reeve Dave Speer. Romanuk New Councillor by LYNNE BADGER Peter Romanuk was sworn in as councillor at the November 12 meeting . of Terrace Bay Town Council. Mr. Romanuk replaces Mr. Joe Kennedy who resigned due to ill health. Councillor Romanuk indicated his desire to get down to - business with one of his comments early in_ the meeting. "'Let's get on with it."' Following the swearing in of Couneillor Romanuk, a public meeting regarding the proposed amendment to include "'vehicle agency" as a permitted use in the General Industrial Zone was to be held but no one came to oppose or support the amendment. Constable Wes Fenton Terrace Bay's Crime Prevention Officer reported on the Crime Prevention Seminar held in Thunder Bay recently. Many of the communities represented expressed that they are experiencing the same type of crime. There are many crime prevention programs available including Block Parent, Neighbourhood Watch and Business Fraud Warning, all of which can be implemented in Terrace Bay but not without costs attached. Constable Fenton felt that the seminar was "right on track". Councillors Ollie Chapman, George Ramsay and _ Peter Romanuk who had also at- tended, agreed. Mrs. Chapman said of the seminar, *'It makes you sit up and take notice. We really found out what is go- ing on."' George Ramsay felt that the large numbers in attendance indicate con- cern. Councillor Romanuk was concerned that the fear of "becoming involved"' must be overcome. Obey the Parking Signs by LYNNE BADGER It was reported at the Schreiber Town Council Meeting October 13 that a sign is now up for han- dicapped parking at the arena and the one downtown should be in place soon. These parking places are strictly for han- dicapped people whose vehicles bear a handicap- ped sticker. Anyone else parking in these spaces will be ticketed. The public works department is unable to paint lines at the sites due to weather conditions. It is recommended that you give the sign a wide berth. Stickers for handicapped parking ar are e available at the ee a Also in regard to park- ing, Council will be advis- ing owners of cars parked on Brunswick Street that henceforth they must park in the parking lot available to facilitate snow removal. CP Rail has objected to the Township's new policy of sending water bills to landlords rather than tenants. The reason for the change was to make landlords responsible in the event that a tenant did not pay their bill. If they are in an apartment unit, their services cannot be cut off without inconvenience to the other tenants who would also be shut off. CP Rail has asked that Ie yn, eae ee me, Se ER Sea Constable Fenton con- gratulated the council on the interest they had shown by attending the seminar and requested their con- 'tinued support. A letter of response from Keith Norton, Minister of Health, aroused the anger of the Councillors. Mr. Norton is opposed to a transportation program to see physicians outside Nor- thern Ontario for non- emergency medical care because it would *'deeply undermine the continuing development of the medical capabilities in the north." Since the other members of parliament disagree with him regarding the necessi- ty of such a program and made this clear when they passed a resolution suppor- ting the program on May 10, he has asked his staff to "review policy". Reeve Speer felt that the letter had ignored the issue and continued on page 7 their case. Since single family dwellings can be cut off individually, the com- mittee will discuss the possibility. Council was divided over the issue of payment for damage to a fence by a snow plow on the Kragero property. The damage was done three years ago and the owner has replaced the fence and wants full com- pensation from the town. One member of Council felt that it was the town's responsibility.

He is getting close to Thunder Bay where Terry Fox was forced to stop due to the discovery of cancer in-his lungs. When asked how he felt about. getting closer to that point, he said he would be **happy to be that far." He is looking forward to passing Thunder Bay at which time he will not be duplicating Terry's run but will be "the first to reach that far" and truly on his. own Journey for Lives. Steve did not run last Thursday as he was ex- periencing the first symp- toms of a cold which doesn't mix well with the rain which had been pour- ing down for a few days. It's getting colder now and it was suggested that Steve take a winter break and resume in the spring. He won't hear of it and still plans to reach Vancouver in the spring. According to Lou Fine, the Canadian Cancer Society Regional Director from Sudbury who is ac- companying the runner, Steve is well prepared for the snow thanks to Col- legiate Sports who are pro- viding outerwear and footwear to cope with the winter conditions he is now experiencing. Most of Steve's time Thursday was spent resting and working on his remote control model helicopter, his current hobby. He did, he however, attend a public reception held at Bir- chwood Terrace. Senior Citizens Home to the delight of many school children. Mitch Bolduc, one of the children present expressed a desire to put an ad in the paper to tell everyone that among other wonderful things ""he's a nice guy." Steve answered ques- tions, accepted donations to the Cancer Society. signed autographs, and charmed all present with his warm smile and genuinely friend- ly nature. ~ sthesis (artificial leg) and Steve's run. to raise funds for cancer research, service to patients, and public education began in St. John's, Newfoundland March 31st.

Steve has also experienced - problems with his pro- the mechanisms of the new one made in Hamilton still are not functioning satisfactorily. He has not been wearing it as it jars his leg. It will be necessary to wear that one when the cold sets in, hopefully with adjustments made.
