TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Wednesday, April 5, 1989 Schreibe By Dave Chmara It was business as usual at the Schreiber town council meeting held Tuesday, March 28. The township has its grater back following the installation of a new engine and it is be back to work cleaning the streets of the accumulation of slush and snow. The budget for the fire depart- ment, for a total of just over $90,000 for 1989, was approved by council. The Garden Party Hydroponic & Hydroculture Information Session April 9, 2pm & 7pm Airlane Motor Hotel, Thunder Bay Call 767-9378 Oh No! You mean pee 40? Council determined the acqui- sition of a new fire truck could not wait any longer and as a result the major expenditure included in the budget is $30,000 for the leasing of a new fire. truck. Figures were released for road maintenance work and the num- bers reflect the high volumes of snow we've received so far this year. To date, for the months of January and February, Schreiber has spent $82,000. The majority of this amount, $67,000 was for the plowing and hauling away of snow. The other $15,000 was for spreading sand and miscellaneous expenses. For some idea of how this relates to the past, Schreiber spent a total of $65,000 for road main- tenance for all of 1988. Once the total figures for road maintenance for this winter of 1989 are in, council said it will be asking the Ministry of Transportation to take a look at how money is allotted to towns for road maintenance (snow removal). Council noted that snow removal operators in Toronto complained this year that they had nothing to do with the sparse snowfall there this year. As a- result, Toronto saved many hun- dreds of thousands of dollars in snow removal expenses. Currently, snow hauling is low on council's list with work to reduce the flood problem being a priority right now. Council said a form letter will be going out to Schreiber resi- dents warning them of the dan- gers posed to children by the snow pits, the creek in general and other dangers associated with the melting snow and ice. In order to fully inform and warn children about these dan- gers, Council has arranged for Local recognized for sulding achievements On Saturday, March 4, 1989 20 ladies involved in various. branches of the Girl Guides of Canada were presented with the Ontario Award for Guiding by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Lincoln Alexander, at Queen's Park in Toronto.

The crossing guards hired by the town started work on April 3. They are working the intersec- tions at Columbia and Winnipeg Streets and by the subway at Costa's corner. So drivers, be careful at these intersections and watch for the crossing guards and children alike. With the changes in tempera- tures lately, there have been a number of water main freeze ups in the north end of Schreiber which have left some residents without water. Temporary work was done to give people some water service but the problems are expected to continue, at least for the short term. Last week, the temperature of the water in the pipes was a mere 2.5 degrees Celsius. r council report One cause of the freeze up problems is residents leaving town for the weekend (in this case during the Easter holidays). As a result, the reduced flow of water is one reason for the water mains freezing. Another problem is that although the pipes are buried deep, there appears not to be enough sand around the pipes to sufficiently insulate them which adds to the freezing problem. There is still a problem with dogs running loose but council is faced with the difficulty of hav- ing nowhere to keep dogs which are caught. Council is still look- ing at a number of possible loca- tions where a holding pen can be built. The Stokes Street subdivision will be further developed this year bringing a total of 41 lots to this area. An additional eight lots will be added to Stokes Street.
