Page 2, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 25, 1986 Decision on budworms deferred at League meeting continued from page 1 Bell said that Doug Scott of the Northwestern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce is '"'still quite upset" with the govern- ment's stand on the issue. Scott wrote to Grossman last month and complained that "your Party was in- strumental in preventing any use of chemical pest- icides...the MNR has sub- sequently written off (a total of) 70,000 acres"' of northern forest which could only have been saved with the use of chemical sprays. Scott also said in the let- ter that the Progressive Conservative party's univ- ersal opposition to the limited use of approved chemical pesticides "can- not be based on fact" since all federal and provincial health and environmental agencies have approved the two pesticides proposed for use by the MNR. At a recent meeting of the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association, a resolution which asked the MNR to reinstate the limit- ed chemical spray program in the area was supported. In a letter to the League dated May 12, the Minister of Natural Resources ad- mitted that at a series of open houses held through- out Ontario last January, 80 per cent of those who at- tended approved of the pro- posed MNR spray pro- gram, which at that time included chemical sprays. Vincent Kerrio added in the letter, though, that 'it became obvious in the Ont- ario Legislature that the government would not get the support of the House for a program that includ- ed chemical insecticides."' It was for that reason that his Ministry decided to use only a biological in- secticide (Bacillus thuring- iensis, also known as Bt) in its aerial spraying program this year. "The biological insect- icide is effective," Kerrio insisted; though the League and others have a different opinion about the use of Bt all by itself. "Doug Scott continues to be very concerned," Power said at the League meeting. He said any act- ion the League might take now would not have any effect on this year's pro- gram. A report is to be pre- pared for all League mem- bers prior to the September meeting. The League did support a resolution from Terrace Bay at the meeting. The resolution calls for the provincial government to amend the Education Act to end the existing poss- The 4:00 p.m. (Our printer Webb Press is NOTICE Terrace Ba Schreiber newstands Thursday July 3rd, after .

The res- olution will be forwarded on to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario for their support Sally Laine, Councillor . for Geraldton, said similar resolutions have run into a roadblock at the AMO level in the past, though Power noted that AMO's policy has been changing slightly. 'This resolution may change their minds." he added. The next meeting of AMO is set for August 23 in Toronto. 'I think we can push this through," Reeve Chapman said, adding that the large cities are not the majority any longer. 'It's important that we have people at AMO who will be prepared to stand up and speak on this," Power said. Reeve Chapman plans to attend that meeting. '"'The main thing here is we want to get out of pay- ing the school boards when we don't have the money,"' Laine said. At that point the resolution was put to a vote and it was supported. Present at the League meeting were the reeves, mayors, and councillors from Nipigon, Dorion, Conmee, Nakina, Terrace Bay, Marathon, Neebing, Red Rock, Geraldton, and the host municipality of Schreiber. Also at the meeting were representatives from the Ministry of Municipal Af- fairs and Housing as well as two spokesmen from CP Rail, on hand to make a presentation to the League on railway safety.

Believe me, those vans and mini- buses with a lift on them sure are great for taking these people out for differ- ent events which, even though they are somewhat handicapped, they still en- joy going out from time to time. We thank all those who take such good care of them. We were all happy this past week at Birchwood to welcome back one of our residents, Mr. Felix Legault, from a three week stay at McKeller Hospital. He was a very sick man but is now on the mend and we hope he will soon be his own cheerful self again. On a subject which I don't like to give my ideas on, but several people have asked me what I think about it, I will only say this: about the Doctor's strike, it seems to me that there must be some other way to settle this problem without closing emergency wards and doctors just closing their offices and calmly walking away. If we can put a man on the moon and bring him back, why can't we find a way to settle problems here on earth without those drastic measurers? I only hope this will come to an end before some patient dies because of this senseless strike. Please find a solution now. Until next week enjoy yourselves, and here is a wee bit of humour.
