Mr. Sears, a 65 year old retired engineer undertook a dangerous and exciting canoe trip by travelling the original trans Canada highway from Ottawa to Lake Athabasca in the Northwest Territories. His trip is approximately 3,500 miles in length, and he is currently averaging 20 miles per day. When Sears set out on his trip, the harbour was still covered in ice, and the temperature still dropped well below zero in the evening. When I asked Mr. Sears what exactly had provoked him to take such a dangerous risk by canoeing 3,500 miles, he said that he was taking the trip so that he is just not sitting at home doing nothing. Sears stated that his journey so far has been dangerous and fascinating. Mr. Sears has travelled through the Ottawa River, the French Rivers, Georgian Bay, and some of Lake Superior. He hopes to spend his winter at Fort Cumberland on Lake Winnipeg. During the winter , he plans to begin writing his historical novel that will be based on his impressions and insights of his canoe trip. The novel will be titled North 49 degrees West. The first part of the book will cover his trip from the Ottawa River through to Fort William. Sears hopes to reach. his destination by next falland then he will settle down to write the second part of his book which will contain his experiences from Lake Winnipeg to Lake Athabasca. Mr. Sears is certainly roughing it out! However, he thinks that the gift of beauty is a just reward for the hardships that he is enduring. th Ontario ELECTION PROCLAMATION Of which all persons are asked to take notice and to directed by me to the Returning Officer in each in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, pu govern themselves accordingly.

Bailie, CHIEF ELECTION OFFICER Published by the Office of the Chief Election Officer of Ontario Elections Ontario KEEPING YOU INFORMED Promising ~ Roughin it SI nnn Sai futur e for Terrace Bay youth By Tonya Zborowski Encouraging youths to pur- sue their dreams and to develop their talents should be an objec- tive of every person in a commu- nity. After all, today's youths are Aomorrow's political leaders, mer- chants, and artists. Here at the News Office, we had the opportunity to have a very talented teenager entertain us on Wednesday afternoon. Fourteen year old Mitch Bolduc, is a resident of Terrace Bay, who will be entering High School in September. Mitch enter- tained us by singing "Rockin Robin", and "Old time Rock 'n Roll". He started singing when he was seven years old, and he has had no formal voice training. However, if you have heard Mitch sing then you know that his voice is unique and very polished. Mitch told us that he sings mostly country and Rock and Roll, and that he hopes to eventually make a career out of his singing. Mich already has a consider- able amount of singing experi- ences. He has sang at the Calgary Stampede, the West Edmonton Mall, the Canadian Lakehead Exhibition, Weddings, talent shows, and the Grade eight grad- uation at St. Martin's Separate School this year. As far as prizes and awards go, Mitch said that he and his - father placed first in a talent show in Longlac, Ontario. Mitch is just one example of a very talented youth in the com- munity.
