The Winnipeg §ar- chitectural firm of Stech- eson Katz have been cited for excellence in the 1984 awards of the Candian Wood Council for the Kimberly-Clark Beechwood _ Develop- ment in Terrace Bay. They were . among fourteen architects se- lected from 135 entries "for excellence in de- sign where wood is sig- nificant in construc- tion." = The $2.4 million apartment - townhouse project replaces the tra- ditional camp for mill- workers and the Mill- wood Trailer Park. Alec Katz said the Terrace Bay © develop- ment was an economical replacement for the camp. It encompasses 44 apartments and town- 'houses for families and singles. "The company was looking for an in- novative design that would replace the walk- ups. that contractors THANK YOU The Canadian Cancer Society ...

MOQUIN - In loving memory of a dear *®mother-in-law grandmother Alma, who passed away So many things have happened Mom Since your were callea So many things to share Had you been left to stay. We cannot bring the old days back Your hands we cannot But we still have sweet memories Of the one we loved so Sadly missed by daughter, Roma, son-in-law Charlie, and grandson, Michael and Singles built for years in com- pany towns", Katz said. The design also had to integrate with a well- treed site clinging to a rocky rise. Katz said that rather than step the structure down the hill, the building was thrust toward the lake by standing the apartment on stilts and using a step in the centre of the building avoiding the contour of the rock. Each of the three- bedroom townhouses 'and the two and three bedroom bachelor suites have a view of the lake. The semi-enclosed bal- conies have a better view because of the saw- tooth layout of the apartments, Katz said in an interview. "Wood was chosen as a companion to the ex- citing and dramatic site because it enhanced the tree cover. It is also easily available and re- duced the cost as well as being easier to handle than a mix of mater- ials", he said. "In deference to the and possible some marrieds who have few furnishings, we built in a lot of unique features. : "*Kitchen built-ins for the fridge and other ap- pliances cover only an area of over five feet. ""We ran the carpets over some areas above the floor and enclosed drawers that serve as dressers", Katz said. Floors are 2 by 12 joists carried on 2 by 6 walls and the rooves are wood trusses. continued on page 10 Christmas Greetings : for the Special Christmas Edition of the TERRACE BAY-SCHREIBER NEWS must be submitted by Dec. 5/84 5:00 p.m. or Customers a_ Merry Christmas Rossport Notes Faces and places by ANNE TODESCO The following ar- ticle was written by Mrs. Anne W. McWilliams who spent a night in Rossport this past sum- mer. The article was printed in her home town paper in Missis- sippi. I thought others would enjoy it as so many nice things were written about this north- ern district and village. Faces and Places by Anne Washburn Mc- Williams -- Canada. We entered Canada when we crossed the Pigeon River at Grand Portage or "'The great carrying place" where fur traders used to lug their canoes around the falls. At the east edge of Thunder Bay, we drove 25 miles into Sibley Park looking for moose, bear deer but I guess they were afraid of us as none showed up. I turned our car into a road that advertised an amethyst mine and fol- lowed a twisting dirt road, around curves and over slopes for about two miles. About eight or ten people were climbing around on a . frock strewn slope pick- ing up stones, banging and breaking them against a boulder to see what gems hid within, in shades of lavender, lilac or dark purple. Finders keepers at one dollar a pound. One party ex- claimed, "I don't even know what I'm looking ae BE, PEERS Ze Wish Your Friends The Christmas Issue will be available Dec. 19/84 For assistance or new ideas contact Sandy or Vivian for as stones were picked up and thrown down. A little girl of 6 or 7 years old overheard him and told her par- ents, '"That man doesn't know what he is doing', so she had them show us what to do in amethyst hunting but that didn't do any good. Highway 17 from Nip- igon to Rossport goes through country unde- veloped and totally un- spoiled, a hunting and fishing country. The ~ road winds high above Lake Superior through hills and high' ridges. When dark drew near, I was still driving.

The next dot on the map was Rossport. It was a small fishing village, the houses hugged the curved shoreline. The village was not seen from the highway but we found a delightful hide away set against a bay filled with green islands that looked like mount- ain tops. Several boats were moored at a pier. To my left I saw a small white church and on my right I saw a two-story frame building, yellow with brown shutters be- side the railroad. track, the Rossport Inn. "That's the kind of place I'm looking for', I knew it instantly, though I'd never heard of it before. In the Inn's restaur- ant, windows across the front wall gave us a view of lights coming on in the homes beside the se- cluded harbour. Prints of ships on the wall, pewter sugar bowls, lighted candles on the tables, and a hanging basket of petunias in a corner gave the room an attractive atmosphere. As I had expected a fla- vour of Britain clung to it. A pretty blonde wait- ress in a yellow dress took our order. Rem- embering luscious Whitefish Chapala in Mexico we _ ordered whitefish almandine and walnut breaded Lake Superior trout. The proprieter came over to chat and to in- quire about Yookna- pawpha county. Once he had been stationed at Keesler in Biloxi. I guessed that this was a historic building; the idea of spending the night in it intrigued me. Though the restaurant was filled with quite a few patrons, we were the only overnight guests. Of the six or seven rooms on the sec- ond floor, we chose the one in a rear corner at the head of the stairs and nearest the bath along the hall. The price was quite reasonable, less even than the din- ner. An antique bed with a high wooden _head- board dominated the room. Water glasses and towels had been set on an old fashioned washstand. ' The Wedgwood lamp on a corner table reminded me of Keats "Ode to a Grecian Urn". Plaid cur- tains picked up the red of the bright wool blanket. I raised. the window. In late August there was just enough chill in the air to make the patchwork comfort- er feel good. My husband and I snuggled down between calico sheets, ready for a jong nap. Then sud- denly --voom--swoosh-- clack--the building be- gan to tremble and the bed to shake. The Can- adian Pacific from Mon- treal to Vancouver was roaring by not 50 feet from the front door. The next time it happened we knew what it was and it wasn't such a shock. I got up early to watch the sun rise from a sec- ond floor balcony. Now I could see that directly continued on page 10
