The first, in Schreiber, was "a total outage" Hydro officials said, and shut down power as far west as Dublin from 12:30 pm to around 4:30 pm. A broken conductor at Min- nova Mines caused the outage, shutting down the power for the entire area.

"That, in tum, de-energized the rest of that part of the sys- tem, which includes Schreiber. "We think the crews did a very good job," Wilcox said. "They responded very quick- ly." Just as Schreiber was getting its power back, there was a partial outage in Terrace Bay. According to Ontario Hydro Officials in Thunder Bay, a "primary phase", or circuit, went down behind the arena. There are three phases, so that's why some areas still had power. In fact, some lights and plugs in buildings continued to work as well. "There was also a line down behind the arena," said Terrace Bay Hydro's Sandy Pawson. "But in order to correct the problem, they had to take down both of those sections at 10:30 pm to safely work on the trans- former line," Pawson said. She also said that the Lake- view, Superior, Kenogami, MacDonald areas didn't lose continued on page 6 Hospital underestim- ated cost of furnishing doctor's apartment by Darren MacDonald The News Terrace Bay Council has decided to provide an extra $3,000 toward the cost of fur- nishing the home of a fourth doctor in Terrace Bay. The McCausland had received permission from Council to spend $5,000 on furnishing the residence. But when McCausland CEO Clem Fewer went shop- ping, everything was more expensive than he planned. Couc. Mike King said the apartment only had a refriger- ator and a stove, and had to be furnished from scratch. Store receipts provided to Council show the cost of a sofa at $808, a chair at $538, and a TV at $510. "Clem (Fewer) went out and got this stuff himself, and he got a pretty good deal on it," said King, who represents Council on the Hospital Board, and made the presenta- tion on the Hospital's behalf.

Santa, as well as Terrace Bay Council, also visited Birch- wood Terrace and the McCausland Hospital. About twenty seniors and quite a few children visited Santa at the Rec. Centre, to give him their Christmas lists, as well as to receive a box of chocolates courtesy of Council. = DIANNE O'NEILL A COMPLETE INSURANCE SERVICE COMPETITIVE RATES FOR QUALITY COVERAGE TERRACE BAY INSURANCE LTD. * Home * Business * Auto * Cottages * Recreational Vehicles * Etc.
