: \ Letters to the editor Terrace Bay theft almost impossible to understand Dear editor, Between the time I left for the (United) States for my husband's funeral on May 12, 1988, and returned to Terrace Bay on May 23, 1988, to clean out the apart- ment, I discovered a number of personal belongings stolen from his apartment. The belongings were located in his apartment (number 201 of #1 Beachcourt Apartments); not to mention a motor bike that was: stolen out of the back of his car which was parked in his provided - parking space. It's bad enough stealing, but when someone steals from some- body who has just died it is pretty low. I. would really like to have these personal belongings returned. It's hard enough dealing with his death -- never mind hav- ing this on top of it. Anyone who might have heard or seen anything between May 28 and May 23, 1988 is asked to please contact Shawna Wellington, or the Terrace Bay Police Department. A reward is offered. Thank you, Shawna Wellington Closed Post Office is an inconvenience to those affected by shiftwork: reader Dear editor, I am writing in regard to the recent damage of the Post Office and its effect on the local P.O. Box renters and tax payers. We are paying for a service we no longer benefit from. Because of the damage, we can no longer pick up our mail at our conve- nience. We can all go pick up our mail at General Delivery as the box hours are almost the same as the wicket hours. We can save money on box rental and our tax dollars can all be applied to fix the wall that was broken. Not everyone goes uptown dur- ing shopping hours every day. Those of us with husbands on shift sometimes get them to get the mail on the way home from work. To me, this is a great inconve- nience as I'll have to wait for days off or night shift when Ill have the car. I usually like to get my mail every day. Now because there is no security at the Post Office, they close at 5 p.m. One alternative that was sug- gested to keep it open was to give all Box renters a key to the front door (which of course we would have to pay extra for). And then again if someone should break their key in the main door we would be in the same mess. Besides, I think we have enough keys to carry around with- out having two keys for the Post Office. O. Papineau Submitted by Bert Logan Schreiber O.P.P. Community Service Officer Provincial Court, Criminal Division, was held on Sept. 7 at the New Legion Hall in Schreiber. Court began at 10.30 a.m. 1. with Judge Clark presiding. Most of the 20 persons charged with crim- inal offences had the charges put off to another date. iT Noel Imbeault of Schreiber plead guilty to a charge of Possession of a Narcotic and was given an Absolute Discharge. Sandra Charlton of Terrace Bay plead guilty to a charge of False Statements regarding unem- ployment insurance. She was fined $1,350. Maureen Baird of Schreiber plead guilty to Impaired Driving and received a sentence in Thunder Bay Court on Sept. 8. Next date for Criminal Court is October 5, 1988. Legal Term Question If you went to court and heard the word "remand," what would it refer to? a) a jail sentence b) Judge asking the accused to step forward c) to return on a certain court date d) not enough evidence given ~ 'Remand' is a term used fre- Criminal Court Report quently in court. The judge might be heard to say: "You are remanded until October fifth, 1988." It simply means that the matter will be put over to another court date and you are required to return and appear then. The cor- rect answer is "c." Reasons for a remand are many, for example: to set a date for a trial; to obtain counsel; or to have a trial. $24-3336 CHIROPRACTOR Nor-Shore Chiropractor-Clinic MOUNTAIN VIEW PLAZA SCHREIBER WEDNESDAY 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. or SPORTSWORLD 824-2506 Northland Commercial Park Canpar Parcels Greyhound Depot Bottle Return NEW HOURS 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Monday - Friday Page 5, News, Wednesday, September 14 , 1988 Zucchini Attack! -- Alice Gowan gave these unique zuc- chini to the Schreiber Library as part of their Zucchini Growing Contest.
