Submitted by the Terrace Bay Recreation Office The Terrace Bay annual Fall Fair is on for this Sun- day, September 14 from 12 noon to 6 p.m., the town Recreation Office has announced. There will be free ad- Bits and Bites By Helene Ballard Hello! Well, I guess we are into our fall weather, even if we don't like it, but let us hope we have a real nice fall and enjoy the love- ly colours on our trees, put on there by Mother Nature. I don't know how many of you ever wonder how our feathered friends know when it's time to fly south to avoid the long, cold winter. Too bad we can't all do like the birds do and fly south. , Fall Fair time is almost upon us, and here at Birch- wood Terrace we are busy getting ready as we will mission to all during the fair. A total of 81 tables had been reserved as of last week, with bigger and bet- ter displays. The Terrace Bay-Schreiber News will . be accepting discount sub- scriptions and classified ads at its own table. See you there! Squash Clinic With the assistance of Fitness Ontario, we will be having a representative att- end the Fall Fair with the purpose of giving a clinic in the evening for squash enthusiasts or those inter- ested in learning the game. The Fitness Ontario rep will be in attendance at the Recreation Office booth with information on the game of squash. Bowling News If anyone would like to bowl five-pin this fall and have a craft table there. I hope you will drop by and see how some of the resid- ents pass their time. We may be "old" but we can still use our hands and our knowledge to create love- ly crafts. Please plan to attend and help make this fair the best ever. See you there: Now that the summer vacations are over, our dif- ferent indoor activities will start. Our bridge playing residents are very anxious to resume their Wednesday afternoon card games. I would like to invite those of you who like to play cards to come on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. I hope to have the date when this will start and then I will let you know. As I mentioned before in . one of my columns, | would let you know when we were in need of egg car- tons. Well, we could use some again, so if you have any, just drop them off at Birchwood and we would be most grateful. This will be a short col- umn this time, but I hope to have more next week. In the meantime, keep your long as possible...they look so beautiful. Until next time, here's a thought for today: "'A man needs a woman to take care of him so that she can make him-strong enough for her to lean on."' (Author un- known) Cheerio: Contest winners released By Roxanne McLellan Submitted by Joan LeBlanc On Sunday, August 24, the final judging for the Schreiber Annual Beautif- ication Contest was carried out by two out-of-town judges: Mary Burnett from Rossport and Pam Jones from Terrace Bav. A preliminary list of 11 homes was drawn up from scores tallied up by last year's winners: Mr. and Mrs. H. Fischer, 101-Col- umbia; Mr. and Mrs. F. Harness, 105 Ontario; and Mr. and Mrs. A..: Slater, 20.1.Manitoba. From this list, the final judging was carried out, concerning such elements as first impressions of pro- perty, lawn condition and appearances, arrangements of shrubs, trees, vegetable gardens, use of landscape components (walks, patios, trellises) and general con-. dition of buildings (exterior condition, maintenance). Following a two-hour final survey of the homes involved, it was decided that first place would be awarded to Mr. and Mrs. ~- Ed Holmes at 101 Drumm- ond Street. Second place went to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cook at 210 Park Street, and third prize went to Mr. and Mrs. Cosimo Commisso at 107 Anne Street. An honorable mention also went to Mr. and Mrs. Mike Zombori at 216 Ontario Street. The three prize-winning homes receive a plaque to commemorate their win as well as cash prizes of $50 for first place, $30 for se- cond, and $20 for third. These prizes were all don- ated by Schreiber Council. Other homes qualifying for the final judging carried out on August 24 were (in alphabetical order): Mr. and Mrs. Peter Commisso (Jr.), 106 Ethel Street; Mr. and Mrs. Vic Costa, 204 Walker; Mr. and Mrs. Rol- ly Martin, 412 Manitoba; Mr. and Mrs. Martin Ryan, 301 Main; Mr. and Mrs. Harold Shack (Sr.), 406 Ontario; and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Speziale, 208 Walker. Also included in the con- test were three neighbor- hood entries: Walker Lake neighborhood entered by Alice Gowen, Ethel Street entered by Rosann Pelle- grino, and a winner of the Columbia (E)- Erie (S)- Al- berta (E) block as entered by Colleen Gauthier. The name of this winn- ing neighborhood will be displayed on a large trophy designed for the Beautif- ication Contest, and dis- played publicly. Neighbor- hoods -were judged on general appearances, tid- iness, and general up-keep. Since only three neigh- borhoods were entered by residents for the contest, the judging was limited. It is hoped 'that next year more residents will ap- proach the beatification committee in order to enter their neighborhood and of- fer a larger overall scope of our town. Throughout all of the judging and surveying, the Schreiber Fair hlee McEwen, 6, of Schreiber seemed to be intrigued by many of the items S at the St. Andrews United Church Fall Mini-Fair held on Sept. 6 at the Legion Hall in Schreiber. Raffles on quilts and crystal were also held, as was a smorgasbord that evening. (Photograph by Conrad Felber) onthe Penny Auction table judges and committee members. accompanying them were all very im- pressed not only with the efforts and "uniqueness"' of the homes in Schreiber, but the genuine warmth, pride and hospitality with which we were received, Each home on the final judges' list offered feasts for the eyes, nose and/or taste buds making the con- test a pleasant and tasty excursion. / The Beautification Com- mittee would like to extend a special thanks to all of our in-town and out-of- town judges and to all the Schreiber residents who, thorugh 'their hard work and enthusiasm, have made our town a better place to live. It is hoped that we will see your name on our con- test list next year to exhibit your neighborhood and we wish you good luck in making our preliminary judging list for your home and yard. flowers free from frost as Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, September 10, 1986, page 3 Fall fair set to go in Terrace Bay on Sept. 14 winter, we are presently accepting teams and indiv- idual names.
