There are 24 cadets in the Terrace Bay/Schreiber Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps, #302 Endurance, which will celebrate its first anniversary On March Sst. The corps' officers, Mary Cashmore (commanding officer), Kathy Papineau (executive offi- cer), Bernie Chasse (divisional officer) and Ralph Polches (train- ing officer) are keeping these teenagers busy. Assistance is also provided by Terrace Bay Police Constable Dave Smeltzer. Twice each week the cadets, who range in age from 13 to 19, gather together for drill practice and other cadet-related activities on Mondays and Wednesdays (once cadets reach 19-years-of- age, they must leave the corps). Commanding Officer (CO) Mary Cashmore told the News that Smeltzer provides instruction mostly in range work; this includes gun safety and the prop- er way to handle rifles. Papineau and Cashmore are both range qualified but Smeltzer and Polches have much more experience in this field. Papineau, Cashmore and Ralph Polches are qualified by the Department of National Defense to teach the cadets range work. All officers also provide instruction in many other courses, Cashmore said. 1st anniversary CO Mary Cashmore told the News that back in 1987, a group of individuals, which included Cashmore, Papineau and Dave Schinbein, decided to form the cadet corps. Schinbein was CO until-last November; he had to leave due to work committments. Courses/camps Cashmore, Papineau and Chasse are in Alberta right now taking the Basic Officers Qualifications Course. : Trips such as these are paid for entirely by, the Department. of National Defense. Cashmore said that last sum- mer 15 of the cadets went to the HMCS Quadra (Vancouver) and HMCS Hnausa (Manitoba) camps where they learned various skills such as sailing, confidence cours- es, junior leadership and drill practice. The camp in Manitoba is a sailing camp and the camp in Vancouver is a general training camp. Last September the entire corps went to the Gimley camp in Manitoba. This is a sailing camp and the cadets spent the weekend learning basic sailing skills. In October of 1987 the corps went to Thunder Bay where they boarded the HMCS Porte St. Jean. They were taken on an eight- hour cruise around Lake Superior on the 125.5-foot ship: In January of this year the corps went to the Northwestern Ontario Sea Cadet Games. 10 corps from Ontario and Winnipeg competed. The local core placed second in the drill competition and piaced fourth overall. "That is excellent for a brand > new corps," said Cashmore. "That is pretty good.

New Chamber President hopes to expand services By Greg Huneault The News The new president of the Aquasabon Chamber of Commerce is confident that the_ young chapter can work toward expanding services despite "growing pains". Ken Randle, co-owner of The Print Shop along with his wife Jeannie, was elected to the one- year term on Feb. 29. A lack of involvement by members: and *-a=*"tack of direction" are some of the diffi- culties the chamber will have to overcome, but Randle is confi- dent that the members have "a goal -- a vision." He would like to see more involvement of businesses in the outlying areas. He cited Rossport as an area that has many services which could be better advertised and promoted. He noted that commer- cial stores and fly-in services were an indication that Rossport has much to offer. Despite the shelving of a lake- front development plan for Jackfish,. Randle. says. that: the: ideas are there, and that the chamber needs more involvement Yo help realize these goals. With help from groups such as the Northwestern Enterprise Centre, a government group that helps expand businesses, and the Community Futures office, Randle wants to "get things start- ea. "Tourism is almost non-exis- tent (in this area). One million people drive through town, and if 10 per cent stop there would be a town boom," Randle noted. He would like the chamber to work with the Economic Development Committee to examine a tourist information package and to look at possibili- lies for attracting tourists to this area. Another area of concern is the lack of equipment available to the McCausland Hospital. The cham- ber president would like to work with the hospital board or the auxiliary. There were 45 chamber mem- bers in 1987, and so far this year there are 33. Randle believes this year's membership will eventual- ly surpass the 1987 level.
