Terrace Ba Schreiber Publ por 2W0 jo Library Y ONT TERRACE ee wT.F.N. Wednesday, March 20, 1985 Vol. 20, No. 12 Serving Terrace Bay, Schreiber and Rossport 30° Rebuild Boiler Terrace Bay _ Kimberly-Clark of Canada Limited will begin work immediately on a $10.9 million rebuild of No. 4 power boiler at its Terrace Bay kraft pulp mill. The rebuild will modify the entire ash-handling system as well as the wood waste and fuel distribution system. Walter Groman, chair- man of the board and general manager of the KC's pulp and forest pro- ducts operations, who made the announcement, noted that the rebuilt boiler would enable the mill to burn more wood waste from its pulp-making operations and reduce its reliance on purchased fuel. The mill currently burns about seven to 10 tonnes of wood waste an hour and supplements this with pur- *chases of Bunker "C" fuel oil. "With the rebuild, we'll be able to burn up to 20 tonnes an hour, not only resulting in a substantial energy saving but reduced wood waste disposal in an equally important conser- vation move,'" said Mr. Groman. Advantage will be taken of the annual May shut- down to do preliminary work on the boiler. The balance of the work is scheduled for completion this fall and will not in- terfere with the normal operation of the mill. Stocking Trout Today, March 13th was the day that 50,000 one year old Lake Trout made their way into the clear and very cool waters of Lake Superior. The fish were. transported by truck from the Dorion Fish Hatchery, in 3 large insulated and ox- ygen controlled tanks. It is very important that the water in these tanks is kept within a few degrees of the temperature of Lake Superior. The Hatchery in Dorion raises these fish from eggs, and each year they clip them and send them off. The clips made in their fins are tell tale signs later on, as a trained Ministry worker can tell where.the fish came from and how long they have been living in the Lake when they do the regular spot checks of the area. The Ministry also collects samples from anglers and commercial fishermen to do their cen- sus of the life span and health of the trout, It's a long term process, study- ing the life spans and the possible ways to improve the life of the trout in these waters, the Ministry has been conducting this census - for already 15 years or more. "The numbers are down this year," says Jim Chap- pel, supervisor of Parks, Fish, and Wildlife in this district. '"We usually put 400,000 in the lake this time of the year, but this year the numbers were in- creased at the West End of Nipigon Bay. We dropped 50,000 here at the hydro intake, and 50,000 at Col- dwell, east of Terrace Bay."' Mr. Chappel and Mr. Lionel Todd, Conservation Officer, along with Rob Viejou and Mike Kenny supervised this. operation today, trying to save all the fish they could from getting trapped on the ice. The lit- tle fish were a bit shocked when they first entered the water, but most took to it and swam away within a few minutes. Of course there were also a number of birds circling the area, but Mr. Chappel said the number of fish they lose is really very slight compared to the numbers that get away. The process starts all over now with the Ministry beginning their collection of spawn at Killila Lake and the Slate Islands. Minnie MicCuaig's The 16th annual Minnie McCuaig Mixed. Curling Bonspiel took place at the Schreiber Curling Club March 13th to 17th, with 32 teams taking part. Mrs. Minnie McCuaig was a long time resident of Schreiber, and along with her husband Muggs were one of the first members of the Schreiber Curling Club. After Minnie's death in 1968, Muggs wanted to get the family together once a year so he started the annual tournament, and donated a trophy in Min- nie's memory. Since the bonspiel started 16 years ago relatives, friends and avid -curlers have travelled from near and far to take part. Son Jim McCuaig, along with his brother Tom, both of Thunder Bay have taken part every year (Jim miss- ed once with knee pro- Annual blems), as well as Minnie and Muggs' daughters Mrs. Betty Huard and Mrs. Audrey Morgen. All the in-laws participate'as well, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and grand- children. Jim's son is now the defending champion, and the word is he's hard to beat. It's the biggest curling . event in Schreiber, and the most looked forward to. There is often a waiting list from year to year, and the club does. it's best to get everyone in, but 32 is real- ly the maximum they can go with and those who can't get on one year seem happy enough to watch the events, and look forward to the next year when they too can take on the McCuaigs. gas] gags" Ed Borutski and friends from Schreiber, built this snow sculpture The Terrace Bay Town Council held a_ public meeting March 13th at the Terrace Bay Reereation Center. The meeting was held so to give council an opportunity to hear con- cerned comments from citizens regarding the Ter- race Bay Recreation Discipline Policy. The policy has been in effect since 1980 and states that "Any person or per- sons, regardless of age, who wilfully break, damage or defaces any of the property of or on the Terrace Bay Recreation Center, will receive a suspension from the Recreation Center (in- cluding the swimming pool) and it's programs, for a period of one year, and will be subject to prosecu- tion."' With the recent suspension of two 9 year old children, concerned citizens began speaking out to Council that the policy must be reviewed. Mr. Doug Roberts, President of the Terrace Bay Minor Hockey Association spoke out to the Recreation Committee at a meeting held December 6, 1984, concer- ning the suspension of a member of the Terrace Bay Midget Hockey Team. Mr. Roberts asked the commit- tee if they would not recon- sider the suspension of this youngster. Mr. Roberts pointed out to the commit- tee that this would be the boy's last year of minor hockey and he is invaluable to the team. Mr. Roberts asked that the boy- be allowed into the arena on- ly, escorted by his parents, where committee Chair- man E. Kettle stated the committee was not in the habit of lifting suspensions. The minutes of this meeting state that after a lengthy discussion the mo- tion was carried to uphold the suspension of this boy, although in these same minutes, a separate suspen- sion was lifted; for one night, to allow a youth per- mission to attend a hockey game at the Terrace Bay arena. The -- youth, represented by Mr. Roberts, was not allowed to see that hockey game. Mr. Roberts continued to approach the Recreation Center regarding their discipline policy, he asked that a concession be made in the policy for appeal or lessening of the one year sentence. He stated that in the case of this hockey player, he had already suf- fered consequences by the Provincial Courts, and had made restitution of monies stolen. At the January 10th, 1985 meeting of the (Recreation Committee, two 9 year olds were suspended from the com- plex for one year for the damage done to a door in dressing room 3 of the Ter- race Bay: arena. Many citizens found this punish- ment too extreme and took their complaints and sug- gestions to Council, which 'powers of in turn prompted Reeve Dave Speer: to call this public meeting. Mr. Chris Joubert a con- cerned citizen was the first to speak at this meeting and read the letter he had sent to the editor of the Terrace Bay Schreiber News in regards to the suspension of the two 9 year olds. Mr. Joubert stated that in his opinion "Abandoning these children to their own devices of recreation in- dicates that it is easier to hide a problem then solve it.'" Mr. Joubert also went on to say that "Forbidding these children the use of the complex is not the answer, it will in my opinion en- courage further, and perhaps more serious' misbehaviour. "' Mr. Doug Roberts was next to speak and address- ed Council with-a number of questions and recom- mendations. He asked '"'If we are living in a democracy, how can an ap- pointed body of no fixed | term of office have judicial such magnitude?" He also went on to ask, "Why the pre- sent Recreation Committee Terrace Bay Lions play the Terrace Bay Tigers in the Tiny Tourney over the weekend. to commemorate the Winter Carnival, and salute Schreiber's 100 years. Rec. Policy -- Under Fire isso resistant to any kind of suggestions, questions etc.'" His recommenda- tions'were; a change in the composition of the Recrea- tion Committee, to consist of representatives from the major recreational facility user groups; that term of office be for 3 years; that these powers be removed from the committee and given to Town Council; that the Committee's man- date be that of any. other advisory committee; that the Recreation Director and his staff be made aware that they are employees of the Town and it's Council and not the Recreation Committee; and that the suspensions of these 3 young people be lifted as soon as possible. Reeve Speer thanked Mr. Roberts and pointed out that Council is the body who must pass all recom- mendations made by the Recreation Committee, and in fact this discipline policy was submitted by the Com- mittee but passed by Council.
