Both machines were severely damaged in the incident, the report noted. No other details were available. In other police reports over the past month, a male person suffering from a mental disordér was ap- prehended by officers from the Schreiber detachment and taken to McCausland Hospital in Terrace Bay for medical assessment. Police investigated a break-in at a cottage at Whitesand Lake, west of WALKER: Mr. Francies (Frank) Walker of 1538 Hochelaga St. W., Moose Jaw, passed away while vaca- tioning in Hawaii on Tuesday, February 4th, 1986 at the age of 70 years.

On February 7, Marvin Osmar of Terrace Bay found his cottage had been broken into and noted that a small quantity of li- quor and other items had been stolen. The matter is still under investigation. Also still under in- vestigation are two com- plaints of mischief. The first incident occurred at Birch Motors and involved damage to a school bus owned by Trottier Bus Lines. The second com- plaint was registered after two tires had been slashed on a vehicle owned by Donald Maltais of Terrace Bay. A Schreiber resident will appear in Provincial Court as a result of impaired driv- ing charges which were laid by police following a motor vehicle accident on February 12. Charges have also been laid against a Sault Ste. Marie woman after in- vestigation revealed that she had stolen a camera from a _ residence in Schreiber last September. The police report noted that snowmobile patrols have been implemented within the township of Schreiber recently. Of- ficers have charged a number of persons with-in- fractions of the Motorized Snow Vehicle Act. Most of the charges have been for no insurance and for not wearing helmets.

Belluz President still seems to be some con- fusion concerning legisla- tion dealing with snowmobiles, even though the Act has been in force for 12 years. All motorized snow vehicles must be registered and a registration number which is validated each year must be displayed on the cowling of the snowmachine. The only exception to this rule is when the machine is driven on land occupied by the owner of the vehicle. No machine shall be operated off the property of the owner unless it is in- sured. Snowmobiles may be operated on the streets within the township if the driver is 16 years of age or older and holds a driver's licence or Motorized Snow Vehicle Operator's Licence. Licences shall be carried by the operator and pro- duced along with proof of insurance when demanded by a police officer or Con- servation Officer. Any accident which results in personal injury to the operator, passenger, or third party, or damage ex- ceeding $400, must be reported to police regardless if the accident is on the highway, private property; or Crown land. Speed limits within the Township are 20 kilometres per hour. These speeds will be monitored CALL NO CHARGE 1-800-465-3916 LAMBERT INSURANCE 28 N. CUMBERLAND STREET THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO P7A 4K9 by radar. Every driver shall stop the snowmobile they are operating when approached by a motor vehicle or motorized snowmobile that has a flashing red-light. Owners of snowmobiles are liable for damage or in- jury arising from the opera- tion of their vehicle. Also, if an underaged, unlicens- ed driver is involved in a mishap on a highway or street, most insurance policies become void. Snowmobile operators must also remember that a Schreiber Township by- law bans the operation of such vehicles on_ all township streets between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. In Terrace Bay, the prohibited hours are bet- ween midnight and 7 a.m. The police report noted that motorized snowmachines are built and developed for enjoyment, but when irresponsible per- sons use them for other purposes or to threaten to injure others or themselves, then stringent legislation and enforcement must result. Be a "respon- sible" operator, the report concluded. Terrace Bay Reeve Ollie Chapman, at left, was on hand last week at the Township Office to present Norman and Bonnie Bottomley with a gift on behalf of the municipality as part of the celebration over the birth of the couple's first child, Jenna Louise, on January 12. The unique part about the delivery of the Bottomley's child was that it was the first birth in Terrace Bay in 1986. Motion was supported A motion supporting a resolution from the MPP for Sudbury which calls for an increase of the speed limit on Kings Highways in Northern Ontario was car- ried by Terrace Bay Township Council at a meeting on February 10. MPP Jim Gordon said in his resolution that he would like all Northern Ontario municipalities to join him in his fight to increase speed limits on thoroughfares like the Trans-Canada Highway from the- present 90 kilometres per hour up to 100 kph. According to an Ontario Progressive Conservative Caucus news _ release received last week, Gordon has told Ed Fulton, the Minister of Transportation and Communications, that the present limit is totally unrealistic. '*We have to drive far- ther through long tracts of unpopulated areas," Gor- don noted. "The current limit doesn't take into ac- count northern distances."' He said in the release that he believes a concerted effort by councils in the north could be instrumen- tal in achieving a more just situation for northern drivers. One objection that has been raised about the resolution is that Northern Ontario highways were not built for high speeds, while others have noted that many other provinces, like Alberta, enjoy speed limits of up to and including 110 kph on their highways. In other matters brought up at the Council meeting, Terrace Bay Recreation Coordinator Terry Bryson was on hand to inform Council that there have been some complaints about drinking at the town arena, especially on tour- nament weekends. Reeve Ollie Chapman replied the municipality's policy is automatic suspen- sion from the arena in such Sohrdities Curling Club Frank Walker Fun Bonspiel will be held Saturday, March Ist, 1986 and Sunday, March 2nd, 1986 First 24 Rinks will be accepted Cost $80.00 per team day evening..

He added the town's two adult sports leagues, the No-Body Contact Hockey League and the Broomball League, have been notified that drinking within the arena is prohibited. Councillor Jim Files, after signs announcing the township's policy were suggested for arena dress- ing rooms, pointed out that such signs would probably be taken down shortly after being put up. "Our regular weekly users have been excellent in not abusing the policy,"' Bryson said. As a partial solution to the problem, Bryson noted the local police force will make periodic checks of the arena to enforce the regulations.
