/ Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 18, 1987, page 3 Land in Schreiber wanted for adventure game By Ken Lusk Terrace Bay resident Mac Rogerson addressed Schreiber Council with the proposal of changing the location of his adven- ture survival game- the adult "'war" game in which several teams dress in camouflage gear and use a Special gun with a supply of small, spherical plastic pellets which are filled with a red dye. At the March 10 council meeting, Rogerson said that he has had suggestions from people that the previous site at Jackfish Lake east of Terrace Bay is too far away. Last year's adventure game was the first time Rogerson offered the sport to residents of this area. The new spot would be at the east end of Schreiber Township. The operation would provide space and a small building to be us- ed in connection with the game. Rogerson requested that council consider re-zoning the area to 'Commercial' to allow him to hold his games and to establish the operation as an allowed occupation in the zoning bylaw. The councillors pointed out several details to Rogerson. One point made was that part of his pro- posed area is part of the area that Schreiber Council is seeking to get from Terrace Bay for their cemetery. (Council did not discuss __ this topic and reserved further By Anne Todesco Mrs. Dave Mushquash is a pa- tient at McKellar Hospital. Beverly Legault spent the weekend. Mrs. William Schelling has ar- rived home after being at the McKellar and McCausland hospitals- welcome home Mary. Mr. and Mrs. Ned Bashier are home to re-open the hotel for the season after holidaying in Win- nipeg. A big welcome to them. We are looking forward to enjoying their culinary art. For safety Now that we have added a fire truck to our volunteer fire equip- ment, there are a few fire safety rules to follow. The volunteer firefighters are prepared to assist Rossportites to come to their assistance if one is unfortunate to have a fire but let's hope it will never be. The big truck is capable of car- rying 500 gallons of water. Basically, there are do's and don'ts that one should be aware of- here are some: 1- Rags with wax or oil on them should be kept in covered metal containers or immediately dispos- ed of. 2- It is recommended that all dry cleaning should be sent to drycleaning establishments. discussion until the joint meeting with Terrace Bay on April 7). Council also made Rogerson aware that the road that leads to his _proposed site is located in the Ter- race Bay township. Part of Rogerson's proposal in- cluded portable buildings, some vehicles, and signs on the highway (including warning signs that the game is in progress) to direct peo- ple to the area. Rogerson said the game is just in fun. It can be played by people 16 years-of-age and older and it could even provide some jobs for students, he said. "The safety of the game is stressed- I run a tight ship and I ex- pect people to abide by the rules of the game," Rogerson told council. Rogerson would have super- visors at the game that would in- clude two umpires and a manager. Councillor Tom Quinton told Rogerson he didn't want to discourage him, but said that it could take some time because of the zoning. Councillor Bob Krause asked Rogerson if he has had any flak from people due to the nature of the - game. Rogerson responded that there were some letters to the editor last year opposing such a game. One letter accused this sport as pro- moting war and trying to justify the killing of humans. Rogerson said he replied to the writer of one such letter and said that none of those accusations were true. He said it is not.any more violent than Saturday morning cartoons. Rogerson told the News on March 15 that nothing came of the letters and that if it happens again, it won't worry him. He also said that if someone wants to play the game that he finds to be suspicious, he won't let that person participate. Rogerson will get some background on someone who he is suspicious of. Council informed Rogerson that the matter will be presented to the Anne Todesco Property Committee for considera- tion and that he will be advised in due course. Schreiber Council briefs Korean Veterans' Association- Schreiber Council has received a request from the Korean Veterans' Association concerning an update on the Cenotaph that would reflect the Korean conflict and those who took part. There has been some difficulty in that it is believed by some Legion members that the Cenotaph should only be a reflection of the two World wars. Councillor Bob Krause said that the Cenotaph should not be a Legion memorial only. It is own- ed by the township for the purpose of recognizing any conflict or war, he said. Councillor Tom Quinton said at the meeting that council should ask the Legion to comment further on the subject. "Maybe there's something we don't know," he said. Councillor Gerry Godin said it might have to do with the fact that the two World wars were conscrip- tive and the Korean War was voluntary. Council decided to ask the Legion for their comments on the matter. Fire Hall opening The official opening of the Centennial Fire Hall will be on June 20. Invitations will be sent out to dignitaries, such as provincial and federal members, and guests which will include fire chiefs from the district. Parks and Recreation Committee The resolution was moved by Councillors Quinton and Gerry Godin and carried by council that the following people be appointed to the Parks and Recreation Com- mittee: Irene Borutski, Janet Moorey, Gary Dament, Keith Scott, Bert Logan, Jack Handel, Tammy McParland and Alice Scott. 3- Some insecticide sprays if near people smoking, could explode. 4- Gasoline vapors will cause a fire if near stove pilot lights or a lighted cigarette. 5- Frayed electric cords are fire hazards. 6- Dispose of ashes in a metal container. 7- Never use kerosene of gasoline to light a fire. 8- Keep furnaces and chimneys clean. 9- Handle anti-freeze solutions with care. 10- Smoking in bed is dangerous. 11- Cellars, storerooms, attics and garages should be kept free from i] rubbish, rags, papers and broken furniture as they could spon- taneously explode, especially newspapers if damp. 12- Floors should be protected with metal, brickwood or cement under stoves. 13- Do not overload a circuit. 14- The C.S.A. seal should be on all electric wiring and appliances: That ought to be enough do's this time. Now let me see how many don'ts can be found for the other side of the coin. 1- Don't put ashes in a cardboard container. continued on page 6 Help Wanted 2 Strong Able-Bodied MOVERS to move Office Equipment on MARCH 31st/87 --must have Own truck and Valid Driver's Licence Call Betty or Gayle at 825-3747 B2-~$ B29 B29 B-9 9 ST.
