Ww Wednesday, October 10, 1984 Vol. 19 No. 40 jerrace Rew Schreiber S ley ewreees bee 'WV b24yY PUB IC Liars i¥ ite by LYNNE BADGER Michael Power of Geraldton will repre- sent the Liberals in Lake Nipigon Riding when the provincial election is called. He was chosen in what organizers refer- red to as a close race between Mr. Power and Mr. Mike Reid of Schrei- ber. They did not, how- ever, release the actual count. It was a quiet meet- ing with roughly 100 people present. There was no sign-waving or chanting and the only indication that it was a nomination meeting were a few 'Power' posters and on the back of every chair was a sign reading "I'm for Pow- er."' Mr. Chic Mahoney, chairman of the nomina- ation meeting, explain- ed that each delegate represents 100 votes on the voters list for their area. He said that this method of choosing delegates prevents the "buying of member- ships for friends'? thus eliminating the possi- bility that the richest candidate will win re- R gardless | of his abilities. In his speech, Mike Reid suggested that there be a Northern: Ontario Tax Credit to balance the cost of living between north and south and the federal and pro- vincial governments al- ong with the forest in- dustries should form a plan of action with re- gard to wood shortages. He stated that there have been many studies and it is time to do something, about it. Mike Power was con- cerned with "Tory squandering" and feels that people in the Lake Nipigon Riding are en- titled to the same ser- vices that others take for gtanted and shouldn't have to "be thankful for crumbs." When questioned. ab- 'out his chances of elect- ion with reference to Jack Stokes' resigna- tion, he said that "The NDP do not have an edge" because in this Riding people "'will give Liberals Choose Power you an opportunity to prove yourself regard- less of your banner." Health care transporta- tion costs, equalization of tax bases, unfair Hy- dro seasonal rates and wood shortages are Mr. Power's priorities and he intends to address the different issues in each town, as well as the regional concerns.

It has served me well. It was one of many on the wooded lot where my home was built many years ago. It is tall and majestic but its many roots have a tendency to o the septic field in my yard being drawn there by its need of moisture. Whether on a hillside, valley or lawn, you' ll find that one large root about stove pipe size on the side which faces the moisture field, stream or lake has de- veloped in size and shoots out many small- er rootlets that in time just smother the drain- age pipes. They wrap round the pipes and grow through them till the manmade conveni- ences are unable to fun- ction. A person should never plant trees near a septic field or fence. They eventually plug up the system with fine roots that look as if the pipes were wrapped with yarn and smothered. I stand by the tree thinking if there were some way it could be saved as it has been a friend for many a year. I wonder what its age could be. Trees actually keep a diary of their life span. A whole chest of its life and woundings locked away Safely under the heavy bark. The bole of the tree is filled with cir- cles, with each circle representing a year in its life span. If the layers or circles are of even growth, it shows years of a steady and normal growing but if the rings are close to- gether, it shows a slower growth and indicates a lack of moisture and sunshine. If there have been scars as in the form of a blow from an axe, it would be apparent that it would require several years to heal before the tree could form com- plete rings in growth. The true ring variation does depend on the climate. In searching through dictionary and other books to ascertain. the word used to identify the study of tree life, I finally came up with a huge word that is spell- ed Isn't that a dilly to. try to twist your tongue ar- ound to pronounce? I'll have to wait until the tree is felled before I can know its actual age but I estimate it being at least 75 years old. What a pity that I have to sacrifice this great and gallant tree in order not to destroy one of man's conveniences. ; ie It was such a tiny tree when I came here. I watched it grow from a short, fragile sapling to its t tall and state- ly beauty. Now it must go. Holy Angels 75th Holy Angels Church in Schreiber recently celebrated its 75th An- niversary. Schreiber was visit- ed. by Jesuit - Mission- aries beginning with Father Hebert in 1872, then regularly by Father Chartier from 1883 to 1886.
