Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, January 7, 1987 Ministry to study Terrace Heights By Ken Lusk The problem concerning the single entrance/exit to the Terrace Heights subdivision is finally "going somewhere," Terrace Bay Clerk- Treasurer Larry Simons told the News. A meeting between Council and the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications on Dec. 10 resulted in the ministry promising to do a more in- Council briefs By Ken Lusk There is a_ possibility that a premanufactured housing plant might find a home in Terrace Bay, the News learned at the Dec. 29 council meeting. Clerk-Treasurer Larry Simons told council that he had been contacted by a Mr. Jacobs about an idea to produce modular housing in pieces which would then be shipped to destinations by water. The houses would not be sold direct- ly to the homebuyer, rather, Jacobs in- tends to sell the houses in batches within government programs. depth study of the problem, said Simons. Past efforts to bring attention to the problem have not met a lot of success, he added. MTC officials had been rejecting the idea of a secondary access route to the subdivision as far back as last April. Several problems The ministry conducted a traffic Two things that he is looking for is access to water and access to raw materials, Simons said. Council agreed the idea is worth following up on and directed Simons to contact Jacobs and arrange a meeting. Reeve Chapman suggested contac- ting someone from the Futures pro- gram to possibly create some new jobs. Joint meeting Council has received a detailed plan from Schreiber concerning its propos- ed annexation area. Council requested at the meeting that this be a matter of study of that intersection and conclud- > ed that it meets acceptable standards as far as traffic flow is concerned. What is happening now is that the ministry has not promised another ac- cess route, rather, the in-depth study will focus on all alternatives to the problems. Congestion, the steep grade of Ter- race Heights Drive leading to Highway 17 and the limited view of the highway to the east because of the overpass are discussion with the Council of Schreiber at the next joint meeting scheduled for Feb. 3. Resolutions passed After receiving several tenders, Council passed the resolution that all gasoline purchases for the municipal fleet in 1987 be from Island View Service. A Landfill Site Attendant for Terrace Bay has been hired by Council and the resolution was passed that Kevin Car- diff be offered this position.

New warning alert animals to danger continued from page 3 According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, some 200 whitetails die on Maple District roads each year. In the Cambridge District the toll is almost 500 deer. These accidental killings rarely are news unless they result in human fatalities or injuries. Statistics for 1985 show that animal/vehicle collisions resulted in one death and 320 personal injuries. There were another 2,769 "proper- ty damage only" incidents. The average damage to a vehicle in collision with an animal was estimated to be $1,016 a couple of years ago. To- day, that would be somewhat higher. Since deer and moose are nocturnal creatures, the majority of incidents oc- cur at night. Most are unavoidable due to the driver's peripheral vision being diminished by darkness. New device Now a device is being marketed in Canada which, if used, could significantly reduce the death and destruction to animals on our highway and drastically cut the high property costs of these incidents. Computer course: The recreation department will be offering a basic computer course in ear- ly February. Everyone who received their new computer for Christmas will now be able to learn new and exiting ways to enjoy it. To register, contact the recreation Office. Little Theatre Group: Anyone in the region who is in- terested in drama and is willing to assist in the development of a Little Theatre device will Called the Hobi Animal Warning Alert, the device consists of two, two- inch, bullet-shaped pieces that mount easily on the front of any vehicle. When the vehicle attains a speed of 30 mph, or more, air rushes through the cylinder creating an ultra-sonic signal between 16,000 and 20,000 Hz. It can be heard by deer and other animals up to a quarter of a mile away. The sound is unaudible to humans and to animals riding in the vehicle. Truckers who have installed the Hobe Alert say that moose get scared and run off the road, deer tend to stop in their tracks and bears start pawing at their ears and then run away. Some have reported a decrease in the number of birds being hit and even in the amount of bugs splattering the grill. The Ontario Humane Society has stated that animal deaths could be reduced by as much as 80 per cent if the device was made standard equip- ment on all vehicles in the province. The Hobi Animal Warning Alert retails at $21.95. For more informa- tion, contact: Heissig Import and Ex- port Ltd., P.O. Box 908, Streetsville, Ontario, LSM 2C5.

Late Spring "The problem is finally getting the attention we had hoped for," said Clerk-Treasurer Simons. The ministry will be looking at all the problems and will have some recommendations for improvements by late spring, he. said. Some ideas for improvement are a stop light, a flashing amber light, tur- ning lanes and perhaps a grade change leading to the highway, Simons added. "There are many different things to look at," he said. "A second entrance wouldn't solve all the. problems- it would only solve one problem (congestion)."' * FRR ER EK EK EE KEE KK KK OK OK KK OK OK KOK KK KK KK MORROWS PIANOS & ORGANS ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THEY WILL BE BRINGING THEIR STORE TO YOU EVERY 2 MONTHS BEGINNING JANUARY 15, 16 & 17 AT TERRY'S SIGHT & SOUND Drop IN & SEE OUR Fantastic line of © LOWRY HIGH TECH ORGANS & others such as BONTEMPI & HAMMOND etc. e ELECTRIC & ACOUSTIC GUITARS e GUITAR packages with the OFFICIAL RAMBO AMPLIFIER ¢ STRINGS, PICKS, BOOKS etc. MAKE SURE YOU DROP DOWN & SEE OUR FABULOUR SLASHED PRICES ON ALL ITEMS - PRICED LOW FOR OUR AREA HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL % FROM MORROWS PIANOS & ORGANS BEI IR RE RIE I RK RK HARA AA EKA KK KA KKK KKK KKK KOK KEK Student applicants must be mately 18 students to work at Interview teams will be visiting major northern centres during the first week of March 1987.
