TERRACE BAY PUBLIC LIBRARY Local man appointed Cosimo Figliomeni, a resident of Schreiber, was one of two men appointed recently to the Thunder Bay District Housing Auth- ority. Alvin Curling, the Min- ister of Housing in Ontario, made the announcement on August 11. Figliomeni, a town businessman, and Wilbert Tabor, the owner of W.E. Tabor Realty in Thunder Bay, will both serve as federal represent- atives on the 11-member board. The authority, according to a Ministry news release, manages Ontario Housing Corporation's 1,571 assist- ed housing units in Upsala, By Conrad Felber John Smrke, Employee Relations Superintendent at the Winston Lake mine project near Schreiber, confirmed this week that the imminent change of ownership at the zinc mine will not have any real ef- fech,ir the' future, except for an anticipated name change for the project. The mine, a joint effort between Zenmac Zinc and Corporation Falconbridge Copper (CFC), is expected to go into production late next year or early in 1988. Two weeks ago, Falcon- bridge Limited decided to sell its interest in CFC to Kerr Addison Mines, mak- ing Kerr Addison the maj- ority shareholder of CFC. Falconbridge had re- cently given a go-ahead to resume. the production schedule at the zinc-copper mine site. There had been some concerns raised that the situation might change with the sale of Falcon- bridge Copper, but those fears are-now unjustified, Smrke said. Last week he and other mine officials met with Kerr Addison Executive Vice-President Phil Cross and Manager of Operations John Carrington at the Winston Lake mine site, and Smrke reported that both men were pleased Schreiber, Nipigon, Long- lac, Thunder Bay, Nakina, Marathon, Manitouwadge, Geraldton, and Aroland. The federal, provincial, and municipal governments nominate individuals for appointment to the housing authorities by provincial orders-in-council. The pro- vince appoints the housing authority chairman. The day-to-day manage- ment of OHC's 84,000 housing units is carried out by local housing authorit- ies, although the primary responsibility for assisted housing remains with the Corporation. '*By volunteering their time to serve on the local housing authority, private citizens such as Mr. Figlio- meni and Mr. Tabor are helping to ensure that Ont- ario's assisted housing pro- gram is sensitive and can respond to the needs of the many communities it serv- es," Curling explained. A total of 1,087 senior citizens assisted housing units and 484 units for low- income families are manag- ed by the Thunder Bay District Housing Author- ity. Housing for physical- ly, developmentally, and psychiatrically-handicapp- ed persons who are capable of living on their own is also provided by the board. Fun at the beach Heather McKirdy and her friend Katie McLelland, both of Thunder Bay, had a good time jumping the incom- ing waves at the beach on August 16 during Nostalgia No changes at mine with what they saw. "It is clearly their intent- ion to bring the mine up to production on schedule,"' Smrke said. "'We are ex- pecting no changes as far as the employees here are concerned."' Smrke added that the op- eration will be dealt with from the mine site, though now the reportability will be to Kerr Addison. "As a result of acquir- ing Falconbridge Copper, they (Kerr Addison) are anticipating a rearrange- ment of the personnel at their office in Toronto,"' Smrke said. Ironically, the Kerr Addison office is one floor above the Falcon- bridge office in the same building. Smrke expects a site name change to take place, but probably not before the Kerr Addison spring meet- ing next year. The change will be something similar to Kerr Addison, Winston Lake Division. He and mine manager Tom Dixon will be meet- ing with Kerr Addison of- ficials in Toronto next week, Smrke added. He met with Terrace Bay Council earlier this week. Falconbridge announced on August 6 that it was sell- ing its 6.7 million shares of Corporation Falconbridge Copper, which is over 50 Days at Neys Provincial Park, located east of Terrace Bay and west of Marathon, on Coldwell Peninsula. (News photograph by Conrad Felber) per. cent of CFC's issued shares, to Kerr Addison at a price of $18 per share. The sale, a Falconbridge news release pointed out, is still subject to approval of the Boards of Directors of both companies. The sale closing is expected before the end of this month. Kerr Addison does not intend to make a follow-up offer to other shareholders of CFC, the release added. The mine project was halted late last year when zinc prices dropped. Work atthe site only resumed a few weeks ago. The 14 mile-long mine access road was completed this week at a cost of $3 million, Smrke said. Over $20 million has already been invested at the mine.
