She will join her husband in Terrace Bay in November. New Kid in Town I asked Const. Trudeau what he thought of Terrace Bay and he replied, "I like it, it's my kind of town. I think I'll be happy here." Bill Trudeau, above, joined the Terrace Bay Police Force on Photo by Angie Saunders has added a new police constable to the staff. Const. Bill Trudeau started work in Terrace Bay on June Ist. He took two years police cadet training in Thunder Bay before going to the Ontario Police College in Aylmer, Ont where he was a constable-in-training. Bill received formal constable train- ing in Thunder Bay. Chief Don Kidder mentioned, "He left policing to go back to the Sault as a pipefitter but realized how much he missed it." Bill then decided to apply for the job in Terrace Bay and got it. Const. Trudeau, 24, is married and has a five month-old son. His wife is in Sault Ste. Marie 100th episode series in Rossport By Judi Sundland John Stoneman and his crew filmed the last episode series "The Last Frontier" on Lake Superior this past week. There are over 4,000 ship- wrecks alone on the Great Lakes and Stoneman commented that it was only fitting to be filming the last of the series in Canadian waters. Speaking to a dinner group in Rossport, Mr. Stoneman stressed the preserving of our shipwrecks by the public as well as profes- sional divers. Over the last 300 years, Ontario's lakes and rivers have become the final resting place for an enormous number of shipwrecks and marine artifacts. This wealth of marine heritage provides important links to our past and serves as a primary source of information on the ship- ping history of our province. Ryan LaBlanc of Lake Superior Assn. and Fred Gregory, President of Save Ontario Shipwrecks (SOS) assisted the group during their stay in the area as well as arranging a dinner ben- efitting the Rossport Historical Society. Those in attendance not only listened to the interesting experiences of John Stoneman but were also rewarded with two Last Frontier films. The Last Frontier is a half hour television series about the sea and follows the expedition of The Foundation for Ocean Research as they travel about the world's oceans seeking out the answers to many of the mysteries that still remain hidden beneath the waves. Working from the Foundations research vessel "Reef Explorer", John Stoneman leads his team on journeys to the dark depths of the great Blue Hole of Belize and into frigid waters of the east coast of Canada to explore the tragic remains of World War II ship- wrecks. There are confrontations with the great white shark and its less- er cousins. There are gentler moments with the smiling dol- phin and the heavily endangered Florida manatee and humpback whale. The marine environment has one of the most prolific and diverse communities to be found anywhere on the face of the plan- et. To date, in excess of half a million feet of film has been exposed and over one thousand rolls of 35 mm photographic film. On average, the divers record as many as 4 to 5 dives a day and during a recent trip to Belize in Central America, Stoneman logged a lifetime record of 10,000 dives. John Stoneman has dedicated himself to education of the public on our fragile planet as well as preserving and recording the remaining shipwrecks throughout the world. While diving off Rossport, the crew chartered "Tug of the North" to do the last film of the 100 episode series. Fred gregory, President of SOS, stated that the exploration of shipwrecks as well as other underwater heritage sites is one of the fastest growing branches of archaeology today. Sunken ves- sels are clues to the way water transportation has _ shaped Ontario. You won't find a Spanish galleon loaded with gold at the | bottom of any of our Great Lakes (most ships travelling Ontario's waterways Carried items such as lumber, coal, iron, and wheat) but these waters do contain some very collectable artifacts. The growing heritage con- sciousness of Canadians has actu- ally contributed to the loss of her- itage shipwreck sites as divers greedily exploit the flourishing antiquarian market for deadeyes, shipswheels, anchors, capstan parts and portholes. Taking personal souvenirs from shipwrecks destroys both their historical-and recreational value. Removal of artifacts in whole or in part, is illegal. Archeological study of underwa- ter sites, such as shipwrecks, pre- historic Indian remains, sunken aircraft and bottle dumps can only be conducted under a license issued by the Province. Fortunately, more and more divers are learning to leave ship- wrecks untouched so that other divers may enjoy these relics from the past. John Stoneman and his dedi- cated crew will now take a well deserved rest for a year before pursuing their goals in the depths of the Last Frontier. What does a police constable do in his spare time? Bill loves REQUIRED hunting, fishing and hiking. He's : = an avid moose hunter. When Full-time babysitter asked if he had been fishing or from hunting yet he said, "Not yet, but < 2 I'm working on it." 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. for 5- - Const.
