TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS. . Wednesday, March 22, 1989 - Pitch In week is May 1 - 7 By Connie Sodaro Pitch In is the campaign that encourages Ontarians 'to reduce, re-use and re-cycle waste. Pitch In takes place from May 1 to 7, 1989. A clean and healthy envi- ronment not only enhances the quality of life for each of us, it also helps to attract tourists and boosts our province's economy." Pitch In has become the largest environmental action campaign in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. The campaign saw whole communities being beauti- fied, rivers dredged for garbage and wilderness areas scoured for waste left behind by careless indi- viduals. The theme of the 1989 campaign is "DO YOUR PART". It is a theme which encourages all of us to stop talking and start doing something whether it is by properly disposing of our waste, by re-using or recycling or by ensuring our actions do not nega- tively impact on the environment. "Pitch In is probably most eas- ily identified by its symbol of a person standing dropping litter into a litter basket," comments Allard W. van Veen, national coordinator and founder of Pitch In Canada. "Once communities realize Pitch In is a local program they support it but it takes local groups to convince them of the benefits," observes Rick Morgan, vice-pres- ident of the Federation of Anglers & Hunters. "Hundreds of thousands of volunteers through out the province will be involved. More than 1,700 organizations have already notified us that they are planning a project and we are . providing them with extra materi- als," said Morgan. "Even though we've had lots of requests for free garbage bags, more are available this year and we expect to provide some to every group that applies," said Morgan, stressing that groups should respond quickly if they are to receive their bags in time for Pitch In Week.

Drinkwalter, Q.C. Chairman Criticism unwarranted By Dave Chmara Apparently there has been some misunderstanding concern- ing the article which appeared in the March 1 issue of The News regarding the doctor situation at McCausland Hospital. The article noted that Donna Mikeluk, Schreiber Council rep- resentative on the McCausland Hospital Board, made a presenta- tion to council. The paragraph which followed said, "Minutes from the council meeting read, 'This observation tends to be supported by the large number of doctors practicing for relatively short terms in Terrace Bay...current facilities available to a doctor commencing practice in Terrace Bay at the Hospital Clinic are not conducive to encouraging a physician to locate in the area on a permanent basis." . This observation was made by council after reviewing the facts regarding the doctor situation and was not the observation of Donna Mikeluk. She has apparently been receiving unwarranted criticism regarding this observation, which was not made by her. The connection between Donna Mikeluk's presentation and council's observation was purely unintentional and The News regrets any misunderstand- ing this may have caused.

Davey, Principal D. |. McQuarrie Director the site with the yearlings in steel buckets. At one site this involved making a total of 27 trips with three buckets taken by each of three snowmobiles being used. It took roughly three and-a-half hours to restock the 51,000 Lake Trout yearlings at this particular location. When the fish are shipped from Dorion, they are in tanks which circulate the water and have oxygen pumped through them. Baldwin said that some- times even on cold days, ice is put in the tanks to keep the tem- perature of the water as close as possible to that of the lake. When the yearlings arrive at the restocking site, the oxygen level and water temperature of the tanks and the lake is tested to ensure they are as similar as pos- sible. This reduces the level of shock which the fish may experi- ence. Baldwin said the Lake Trout population in Lake Superior is increasing, and that anglers are catching quite a few of the Lake Trout which were restocked in previous ycars. He noted that the restocked fish have fin clips to identify them as having been restocked and that this helps the MNR eval- uate the successfulness of its pro- gram.
