That is highly unlikely, but some changes may be in store for the provincial park, which is located south of Terrace Bay in Lake Superior. ~ The Terrace Bay Ad- ministrative District of the Ministry' of Natural Resources is now working on a Land Management Plan for the Slate Islands. One of the steps in the pro- ject was an.opportunity for public input on the three Option Plans the Ministry prepared earlier this year. Such input took place at an Open House held at the MNR's Terrace Bay office on February 4 and 5. Ap- proximately 100 in- dividuals visited the display during the two days the Open House was held. These peoplé discovered that the MNR has come up with three different possibilities for the provin- cial park, according to Jim Chappel, the Ministry's Outdoor Recreation Co- ordinator and Jim Nickleson, Lands Supervisor. Both noted that there was at least some support for all three options. Op- tion | basically calls for the status quo, while Option 2 would allow for more development on_ the islands. Option 3 calls for fairly intensive recreation development compared to the other two plans. Preston McKeever, the President of the Terrace Bay Rod and Gun Club, at- tended the Open House with a number of club members; and after a preliminary look at the plans, he felt Option 2 would offer the best compromise. "That seems to be the middle of the road choice," he told the News this week. "But we' still have some areas of concern with all of the plans ... more development of the islands would mean more 'usage. -We would certain- ly resist the overuse of the island's resources. That's our main concern."' " He added that some of the suggestions by the Ministry are good ones, like the idea of hiking trails and public camping. "But I. don't think anybody wants to see hot dog stands or Holiday Inns there," he said. Chappel joked that roller coasters would even be considered if somebody thought that would be a good idea, but added he is sure some sort of com- promise will be reached between those. who would like to see the park remain . as is and those who would prefer more recreational development at the site. Following the Open House, Chappel did say that he had received a wide variety of comments and recommendations from the public. Visitors to the Ministry office were en- couraged to fill in comment sheets or to submit briefs. "I'm glad there is a con- cern about the park out there," he said, noting that people came in from as far away as Marathon, Manitouwadge, and Nipigon to have a look at the display and the MNR's Background Information and Options Plans booklet. **Access was a concern of some people, but we don't deal with that in this» plan," Chappel said. "We are just dealing with the park itself."' '*Another concern was _that there might be thousands and thousands of people coming to the park in the future," Nickleson pointed out. "We would like to alleviate that fear, although people should still remember that the islands are a provincial resource."' He noted that the famous French ocean explorer Jac- ques Cousteau even visited the Slate Islands in his ship the Calypso back in 1983. Chappel said that the deadline for public input for this stage of the management plan is March 7 of this year. "After that we will begin to prepare the Preliminary Management Plan,'"'" he added. That stage will last until April 1, at which time there will be an MNR Internal Review -- of the proposed plan. "Then we'll have another Open House on the Preliminary Plan," Chap- pel said. That part of the plan's public review will take place some time bet- ween June 15 and August 13; According to the schedule, the Preliminary Plan would then be revis- ed based on comments col- lected during the public review. The final Manage- ment Plan is set to be ap- proved in-November of this year with public notifica- tion of approval due before the end of 1986. Those wishing to submit a brief or some general comments can do so by writing to the District continued on page 2 The North of Superior District Roman Catholic Separate School Board held one of its periodic Pro- fessional Development Days on January 31, with St. Martin School of Terrace Bay serving as a focal point for teachers and staff working throughout the Board's area of jurisdiction. A computer workshop was just Host team wins tournament The Terrace Bay- Schreiber Commodores were not very gracious hosts as they won the fourth annual Terrace Bay Midget Invitational Hockey Tournament held on February | and 2. The Commodores defeated a number of Thunder Bay teams, in- cluding the West End Bear Cats in the championship game, to take the Thomp- son "77°' Midgets Trophy, won last year by Marathon. Helping hand Despite their rough play, shown to an extent in the photograph above, the Bear Cats of Thunder Bay, in the white uniforms, were unable to defeat the host Terrace Bay-Schreiber Commodores team in the championship game of the fourth annual Midget Invitational Hockey . Rough play Tournament. The event, which was held on February 1 and 2 in Ter- race Bay, attracted' five Thunder Bay teams. The Commodores defeated the Bear Cats 6-1 to win the tournament.

Doug Roberts, the Presi- dent of the Terrace Bay Minor Hockey Associa- tion, felt the weekend event was a success. A total of six teams took part in- the tournament, with all but Terrace Bay- Schreiber's entry coming from the Thunder Bay area. Roberts noted that the Commodores were undefeated up to the final match, as the team won its first game 6-3 over the South End Rangers. The local club smashed the Hornets 8-4 to finish first in their division. The Commodores then beat Nor-West by a score of 8-3 to advance to the championship game against the Bear Cats, who defeated the Hornets in the other semi-final game. The first period of the final contest on Feb. 2 was a tight affair, with Terrace Bay-Schreiber jumping out into an early 2-0 lead only to have the Bear Cats come within one with a goal scored on a breakaway by John Arnone. But that was all the of- fense the Thunder Bay > team could muster as the host squad pumped in two more goals before the end of the second period to take a 5-1 lead. Tempers began to flare and so the penalty boxes began to fill up as the third period got underway. Near the end of the game the Bear Cats goalie was pull- ed in favor of an extra at- tacker, but it was all in vain as Cam Servais had to return to his net moments later when a Thunder Bay player received a penalty. With 4:34 left in the game, Kevin Roberts of the Commodores flipped a high shot over the Bear Cats netminder to give his team a 6-1 lead. That pro- ved to be the last goal of the match, even though the Bear Cats managed to pull their goalie again just before the game ended. Scoring for Terrace Bay- Schreiber in the game were Coe Commisso with two goals, and singles by Roberts, Emmett Houston, Jamie Figliomeni, and Rob Prince. The team is coach- ed by John MacKenzie and managed by Doug Roberts and Ken Dooley. The team was scheduled to play in a tournament last week in Nipigon and plan to take part in another con- test to be held in Capreol on the Feb. 15 weekend.
