A continuing NEWS feature Love ... Debbie (LAST WEEK: We learned that Robert James had received a fine and licence suspension for his conviction for impaired driving after his school football game. Debbie's Mom told her that there would be no new dress for the Spring Prom because she would have to scrimp from her grocery money to help Roberts James pay his fine. Debbie is getting concerned about her Mom's "bad moods" and Julie suggests that a visit to the doctor to get the same pills her Mom uses might help Debbie's Mother too.) Dear Diary, What is happening to this family? When I got home from the dance tonight I was just going to tell Mom about what happened when Dad came home "feeling. good" which really means he drank too much and just ten minutes later Robert James came home and he was actually DRUNK again!! I couldn't believe my eyes. Dad was so mad that he called Robert James a punk and a lot of other names and then Robert James PUNCHED my Dad right in the mouth. I let out a scream, grabbed Patches and headed for my bed- room because I just couldn't stand it. But I could still hear it. Mom tried to help Dad, and he told Robert James to get out of the house. The Mom got mad and said if R.J. had to go then Dad should too because he'd been drinking just as much. Dad got really mad and went to the basement, but the worst thing is that Robert James went to his room, packed his suitcase, STOLE ten dollars from my Dad's jacket pocket and left. He's gone and I don't even know where he is. And he took the car. And if the police catch, him he'll really be in big trouble because he's not supposed to drive. I'm so scared. And I'm so mixed up because with all this happening nobody asked me about the dance and it was GREAT. I was so happy when I got home. Rod asked me to dance almost the very first and they we stayed together and talked-and danced almost the whole.time. I guess he didn't care about my stupid old corduroy skirt because all he said was I have beautiful hair and dance really good. And we talked about every- thing ... school, and football and skating and crazy things we did last year. He is so great. So I'm really happy about him but really scared about R.J. and really really really mad at my Dad and I can't believe Robert James really hit him and I guess I feel sorry for Dad and Mom but mostly I just don't know what to do! I can't even call Julie because Mom says we have to keep the phone open in case Robert James calls. Mom is still crying because I can hear her ripping the Kleenex box about every two minutes and sniffling a lot. This is really going to be great for her. She went to see the doctor about getting those pills the other day but he said she had STRESS problems and that pills were not the right way to handle it. He wants to see her every week and is sending her to see some other doctor too. Mom was pretty mad when she got home. She says she hasn't got time for all this doctor stuff and if Julie's Mom could get pills she should be able to too. Then she said that the best relaxer in the world is a glass of sherry, poured a BIG one and curled up on the couch with her book. She's supposed to go to the new doctor tomorrow. Why is all this happening? We never used to have fights and I can't figure out why R.J. is drinking. Dad doesn't usually drink so much either and last year Mom was lots of fun helping with the Young People's group and the athletic club. Everything is weird now. But Rod isn't weird at all and I'm going to think about HIM and NOTHING ELSE and go to bed now, Diary. Come on up, Patches. - LOVE, DEBBIE Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 9, 1983, page 5 Terrace Bay Kinsmen - from left to right Rick Smeltzer, Duncan MacKay, Mike Rust, and Frank Doyle. Terrace Bay Kinsmen. The Kinsmen have been taking a leading role for several years in organizing the Ter- race Bay Winter Carni- val, but just what is the Kinsmen Club and what does it do. The News decided to find out last week so we talked to Mike Rust, the local Club's President. According to Mike the Terrace Bay Kinsmen Club is one of 600 clubs across Canada that form the Association of Kins- men Clubs. The Kins- men are an organiza- tion of young business and professional men between the ages of 21 and 40 who have organ- ized themselves to do community service work and for fellowship. There are over 16,000 members in clubs from coast to coast as well as a women's auxiliary of over 7,000 Kinettes be- longing to more than 500 clubs. There are two Kins- men Clubs locally. One in Schreiber and one in Terrace Bay as well as Clubs in Geraldton, Port Arthur and Fort Wil- liam. The Terrace Bay Club has about twenty members with an execu- tive made up of Mike Rust - President, Bill Savage - Vice President, Rick Smeltzer - Secre- tary/Treasurer, Wes Fenton - Registrar, Dun- can MacKay - Past President, Marcel Tar- diff - Cystic Fibrosis Chairman and Scout group co-ordinator, and Forrest Notwell - Di- rector. Former District governor Bill Zroback is a life member of the Club. As well as sponsoring the Winter Carnival the local Kinsmen have un- dertaken many other community service pro- jects including the an- nual Cystic Fibrosis Telethon, sponsoring the local scout group and renovating the Scout Hall, furnishing the children's ward at the hospital and spon- soring the annual hear- ing and eye clinics. The Kinsmen also provide scholarships for local students and run the free Christmas movie for children. President Mike Rust: said, "We are actively looking for new mem- bers who would like to join the only all Cana- dian Service Club. If anyone is located in join- ing us they can just talk to any of our members." A spokesman for the Kinsmen Clubs at their National Headquarters in Cambridge, Ontario said that, "The Associ- Editorial... tion of Kinsmen Clubs was founded in Hamil- ton, Ontario by Harold A. Rogers in February, 1920. Hal Rogers was in his early 20's and had just returned from the trenches of the First World War when his father, a prominent Ro- tarian, encouraged him to get together a few young men his own age. As a result, a. small group gathered for a dinner meeting in a cafe. That group became the first Kinsmen Club - The Kinsmen Club of Hamilton. The Association does not have nationally im- posed programs. In- stead each Club de- cides its own activities based on the needs of its community. Our official motto is: Serving the Community's ~ Greatest Need."' "The more than 1,100 Kinsmen and _ Kinette Clubs across Canada do- nated $22,659,700 in service funds last year. This year the Associa- tion contributed a record $1 million to the Cana- dian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well as supporting many other organizations such as the Unitarian Service Committee, the Cana- dian Diabetes Associa- tion and the March of Dimes."' 'In addition to pro- viding support for num- erous community pro- jects. ranging from swimming pools to hos- pital equipment, Kins- men and Kinette Clubs this year donated $44,000 to construct a juvenile detention cen- tre in Panama."' The Terrace Bay Kinsmen Club was char- tered on January 8, 1974. The original Char- ter members were Bob Hopper, Eric Opan, Jim Mikus, Dick Mannisto, Archie Heinrich, Burke Pollard, Harold Prill, Berek Wills, Jerry Du- pas, Ron Lang, Bill Houston, Terry Korzin- ski, Vic Mazzone, Terry Singleton, Sonny Hel- mick, Gerrie Dickson, Ralph Burgess, Bob Wallwin, Rod Mecure, George Aulenback, and Bruce Costall. archean or Box 811, Terrace Bay # 2433-2700 Aquitaine Ave., Mississauga, Ontario L5SN 3J6 exploration geological-geophysical exploration services (416) 826-6262 MIKE CORRIGAN Geologist _ continued from page 4 work - burnout. Too few people carrying too much of a load for too long and finally giving up in frustration. The trap in all of this is that we may come to expect the "Town" to do the job for us. To pay the full bill for coaches and training and travel. That would be just as inappropriate as having the Town make no contribution at all. Whatever goes in from the public purse should be seen as a spark to stimulate further involvement from the community. Just as the Town provides the Recreation facilities but leaves the indivi- dual sports groups to organize and run themselves, so should a contribution be made to individuals and teams going to major competitions. But a contribution to = off fund raising, not eliminate theneed or it. Terrace Bay can take a good deal of pride in its gymnasts, and hockey players and figure skaters and all the rest of its athletes. Win or lose they did their best it's up to the rest of us to see that they continue to have the opportunity to try. 8:00 p.m. Schreiber-Terrace Bay COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS COMMITTEE ANNUAL MEETING Tuesday, March 15/83 For further information, call the Community Correction Co-ordinator, Judy Cooper at 824-3036 .
