Page 2, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, May 8, 1985 by HELENE BALLARD Well another week gone, just don't know where time goes, but it sure flies. Guess we are all still waiting for warmer days to go outside and do some yard work. Yep! It's that time again so let's all do our share to clean up after | the winter and remember ' guys and gals, use those lit- 'ter cans; that's why they are placed around town. Little by little, our young college students will 'be coming home on holidays. I hope they all have a nice summer and those who are looking for jobs, I hope you find them. Good luck! Have noticed several .campers from our _ neighbours to the south and "soon all their schools will ' be closed so no doubt, we will see more tourists. I would like to thank the ladies who have brought egg cartons to Birchwood for us; we are getting busy with our flower making for weddings and can really use them, so please keep them coming. I hope you were all good citizens and voted last week, it's really a privilege to be able to vote. Now [ have an invitation to our many friends from the ladies of Birchwood Auxiliary to come to a bake sale here at the home on Friday, May 10 at 2 p.m. Coffee will be served, I hope to see many of you here. It will be held in our Rec room, Now my bite will be a short but timely one. To all the young folks who ride bicycles, please do not use the driveway at Birchwood to. ride around. If you are coming to visit someone in the Home, please be careful because with the nice weather coming, our residents are going out to walk around the yard and several young folks have been riding around in and out of the driveway. If you should hit someone, and result in broken bones - not only for them, but for yourselves as well. So sme please, bikes are the same as cars; no using our driveway to turn around or just to race around. I know you will understand and comply and please let me say thank you for understanding. So until next week a "'short story." A man took his little dog into the vet asking him to cut his dog's tail off, to which the vet said, "But sir, the dog's tail is only about 1 inch long now."' I know said the man, but my mother-in-law is coming to visit next week and I don't want any outward sign of welcome. Until next week -- so long! Hemlo April 20, 1985 -- Senior officials and partners of Noranda Inc.'s Hemlo gold mine today witnessed the . pouring of the first bar of gold bullion from the new operation. Weighing ap- proximately 32 kg. (1,028 troy ounces) the gold bar culminates 30 months of intensive teamwork to bring into production Canada's newest and one of the most technically ad- vanced gold mining opera- tions. Milling has started at the rate of 700 tonnes of ore per day. This will in- crease to 1,250 tonnes by early 1986. Full production' at 2,500 tonnes per day will be reached in 1987. Noran- da is one of three com- panies developing the Hemlo gold orebody, located on the north shore of Lake Superior, 300 km. west of Thunder Bay. We're proud to be the first in production, said Mine Manager G.J. (Gil) Leathley, and we're look- ing forward to a long and productive stay in the area. Pharmacy Service explained The announcement made by the Ministry of Health recently, regarding consul- "tant pharmacy services along the North Shore has posed many questions. 'How are we. going to benefit from this program; is it really necessary for the Ministry of Health to spend $55,000.00 a year for this service? The NEWS met with Mr. Don Ross, Ex- ecutive Director of Hospital Administration at the McCausland Hospital in Terrace Bay. Mr. Ross explained the present situation of the ' pharmacy department, which is very complex. There are a multitutde of new drugs on the market every day; problems with inventory control, safe handling and keeping well informed fall into the lap of the Director of Nursing. This responsibility is real- ly outside the specific duties of the director. This responsibility is really out- side the specific duties of the director. They are trained and qualified in the organization and manage- ment of nurses, not drugs. A consultant pharmacy ser- vice would put this momentous and obligatory task to the proper qualified person. The pharmacist will work hand in hand with the doctors, advising and researching their needs and concerns on drug ad- ministration. That will en- sure that we as patients are getting the right drug at the right time with the right food, etc. etc. This service will be pro- vided to the hospitals located in Geraldton, Manitouwadge, Marathon, Nipigon and Terrace Bay. "It is by working together with other smaller hospitals along the North Shore that we have received this ser- vice," says Mr. Ross. '"'Our proposal was thorough, direct and very specific. We have been looking at and researching this problem for a long time, between us (these 5 hospitals) we have proven this service to be vital and life-supporting."' The Thunder Bay District Health Council and the Government were quick to respond to the pro- posal and the money necessary has already been granted by the Ministry. Mr. Ross hopes to have the pharmacist on the road by the end of June, 1985. We asked about local phar- macists in these com- munities and Mr. Ross pointed out that there is just not enough time in a local pharmacist's day to consult with the Doctors. Many of these towns are growing rapidly and the local phar- macist must focus on the residents' needs. This is not the first ven- ture between these hospitals. There has been a joint Dietician providing service for-3 years as well as a Northeastern Area Hospital Laboratory Pro- gram, operating for 5 years. They provide up to date information to these. departments, as well as professional education on new health care methods. Mr. Ross, along with the other executive directors of these five hospitals are con- fident the consultant phar- macy service will be as successful as the other joint projects. It is through co- operation and close contact amongst these hospital ad- ministrations that make these most important steps in providing our area with the modern and _ health care. Police Week May 12-18 The Ontario Provincial Police and the Terrace Bay Police are joining every other Canadian police force in celebrating Police Week May 12 to 18. In keeping with the fact that 1985 is the Interna- tional Youth Year, the slogan for Police Week this year is '*Police and the Youth." It is an annual tradition for the local Police to hold an open house during Police Week. All facilities will be open to visitors. Youth groups are given a special invitation to come out and meet some of their local officers. Members of the provincial police will Pitch - Dear Editor: On Saturday May the 11th the Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts are going to be downtown in uniform pick- ing up paper and other assorted garbage. They will be in the area from 10 a.m. till noon. This will be a small thank you to the people of town that have helped sup- port the boys over the winter with bottle drives and such. For all the parents that read this letter please have the boys in front of the Post Office in uniform at 10 a.m. This day is also in answer to an editorial that was in the paper last month. If the boys do a good job cleaning up be on hand to show visitors around their detachment, and many detachments will feature displays of police activities and equipment. OPP Commissioner Ar- chie Ferguson said, '"We are part of every communi- ty in Ontario, and we look forward to Police Week so we can meet our neighbours and friends."' maybe other people will take the hint and use the garbage cans provided for candy wrappers and gum wrappers. _ Soon May the 11th look for the boys downtown.

The Schreiber Girls' Auxiliary at St. Johns Anglican Church hosted . the Deanery Festival on April 13th, 1985 -- a first for Schreiber. Groups from St. Thomas, Thunder Bay and Schreiber enjoyed themselves in fellowship and competition in choral speaking, singing, dancing and drama. St. Michael's _ of Thunder Bay went home with the trophy. Although our girls did not win, they showed a great perfor- mance for a small group. It also energized them for the Diocesian Festival in Thunder Bay, the next weekend, April 20. The Thunder Bay Deanery won the Archbishop Wright Trophy at the Diocesian level and St. Johns was 'chosen to have it for the first four months of the year. Our girls made new friends, learned more about mission and the spirit of the fellowship. A great thanks go to our two G.A. leaders, Stephanie Rust and Shirley Hamilton, who work all year with the girls. Also to all the people who took billets, prepared the food, acted as judges for the competition, helped with the church service and those who helped in any other way to make the Deanery Festival of Schreiber a great success.
