Page 4, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, August 12, 1987 Advertising Non-residents will need license to camp Most non-residents of Canada will need a permit to camp on Crown lands in Northern Ontario beginning next year Natural Resources Minister Vincent Kerrio announced in Sault Ste. Marie recently. A permit will cost $3.50 a day for each person 17 years- of-age or older, or $6 a day for a family. Non-residents of Canada outfitted for camping by an Ontario outfitter will not be required to buy a Crown land camping permit. In order to reduce competition with the tourism indus- try, camping on Crown land by non-residents of Canada will be regulated in some areas and use of private or public facilities will be encouraged. In addition, certain Crown land sites will also be select- ed for lease or sale, and managed by the private sector as commercial tourist enterprises. "This program has several aims, and is part of my min- istry's review of the use of Crown lands in the north," Kerrio said. "We want to ensure that Crown lands are put to the best use to help the northern economy, while at the same time we are working to conserve and manage fish populations." The ministry has charged non-residents of Canada a fee to camp on Crown land in its northwestern region, and in the Atikokan District, since 1984, and will continue to do so this summer. In Janvary 1988, a program will be introduced covering all Crown lands north of the French and Mattawa rivers. "The program is being introduced because the program in the northwestern region has been so tremendously suc- y . The Terrace Bay-Schreiber News is Co. Ltd., Box 579, Terrace Bay, Ontario, POT 2W0.

"In that area, 24 popular camping sites have been turned over to private operators to provide new business opportu- nities and to create new jobs." Mr. Kerrio said a survey of over 13,000 individual campers in northwestern Ontario showed that 90 per cent planned a return visit to the area in the future. "Both resident and non-resident campers appeared to rec- ognize the need to better regulate the number of campers in certain Crown land areas to prevent overcrowding and over-use of campsites, and to distribute anglers more-wide- ly to prevent over-fishing on some waters," said. the minister Arthur Black Single copies 35 cents Subscription rates per year in town $14.00 Christine Wilson Canadian Community Newspapers Association out of town $18.00 Member of Ontario Community | 2 | cn -- | Newpapers Association and The Gu Incentive to assist pulp and paper Ontario Hydro is offering a rate incentive program to assist the pulp and paper industry in modernizing their operations by converting to mechanical pulp- ing, President Robert Franklin announced today. "This incentive to the pulp and paper industry is part of our effort to help Ontario industries increase their energy efficiency and contribute to improving their competitiveness in the market- place," he said. Many industrial applications of electrotechnology, such as mechanical pulping, can help industries streamline their opera- tions and make them more effi- cient. This results in lower unit cost, improved product quality, or a more desirable impact on the environment. As well, early adop- tion of industrial electrotechnolo- gies will contribute to more effi- cient use of the province's power system over the next few years, Franklin said. "Resource-based industries in general, and specifically the pulp and paper group, are encoun- tering stiff competition from out- of-province and foreign producers using state-of-the-art machinery and mechanical pulping process- es. To remain competitive, Ontario paper mills must modern- ize their operations to reduce ~ operating costs and to improve their paper quality," Franklin said. The incentive offered to pulp and paper producers provides them with the longer term rate assurance they require to make such a major capital investment. It also offers a rate discount over the term of the program, he said. Franklin added that the con- version to mechanical pulping for the pulp and paper industry will result in more efficient use of energy and a reduction in pollu- tion emission levels. Cher and the femme fatale By Arthur Black Does anyone out there remem- ber Cher when Cher was just... Cher? I do. This would be pre- Elephant Man, Pre-Witches of Eastwick Cher, 'way back in the early '70's when the slim, raven haired vampette parlayed a mini- mal vocal agility and a penchant for dressing "a la bizarre into modified global celebrityhood. We're talking Sonny and Cher days -- Sonny being sawed-off, nebbishy first in a relatively long line of romantic liaisons for the lady in question. After Sonny (and in no particular order) came one of the Allman Brothers rock stars, then a dancer, then a writer, then a couple of Hollywood hunks who flexed mean biceps but never got to leave their palm prints in wet cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre. I've never been what you'd call a major fan of Cher's, but, like millions of other nonentities I watched her and her antics. I heard about her get-togethers and tas. I caught the People Magazine spreads of Cher arriving at the Academy Awards; Cher mugging for the cameras at some Beverly Hills nightspot or other; Cher in smoked glasses and a slit-to-the- hip black dress being whisked away in a limo. I never learned a lot of sub- stance about the woman, but one thing I just kind of assumed was that if there was any subject Cher could claim a PhD in, it was men. She may not be the best singer ever to huff into a mike... she may be no better than a competent actress and a so-so clothes horse, but I took it for granted that she knew men and all their frailties like Gretzky knows goalposts. Not so. Thumbing through a recent edition of Ladies Home Journal (hey, it was a rainy day) I came across an interview with the lady, in which she said, among other things, that she knows sweet Boo- all about men. She says that Sonny Bono bowled her over "I don't know why, I didn't even like him that much. But there was this attraction. There was always something strange about our rela- tionship that defies categorizing, even for me." As for the other men in her life, Cher says: "You could fit everything I've learned about men on the head of a pin and still have room for the Lord's Prayer." To which all I can add is... Amen, Cher. I hear you. From a man's point of view I mean. Thanks to Cher's candor I can now stand up and say without fear of ridicule, that after the bet- ter part of lifetime dealing (and dueling) with the opposite sex, I too have distressingly little in the way of conclusive data. I haven't actually etched it out, but I reckon you could lay down all I know about women on the head of a pin and still have room left over for the Lord's Prayer and possibly Michael Wilson's last budget address to boot. Why is it so hard? You would in women and vice versa, that we would have progressed a little fur- ther down the path of mutual enlightenment than we have. How could people as smart as we are end up with pathetic devices like computer dating, "Companions Wanted" newspaper columns and singles nights at the local super- market? Intelligence is no magic ticket. Near the end of his career, psy- choanalyst Sigmund Freud wrote somewhat plaintively: "Despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, I have not yet been able to answer... the great question that has never been answered: "What does a woman want'?" The humorist Odgen Nash might not boast the celebral bag- gage of Freud but he was at least as close tot he mark with this bit of doggerel: "There is one phase of life that I have never heard Discussed in any seminar And that is all women think All men that weminar." I don't know if Cher-would get any solace from those thoughts or not. Perhaps she'd derive more comfort from something a rather famous husband once said about his rather famous wife. "She is an extremely beautiful woman, lavishly endowed by nature with but a few flaws in the masterpiece: she has an insipid double chin, her legs are too short, and she has a slight pot- belly. She has a wonderful bosom, though." Indeed. The observer was Richard Burton speaking about his wife Elizabeth Taylor. I'll bet he slept on the living room couch the night after he ans ee yey eee ees
