The new facility -cost $1.5 million and has provided 1,040 square meters of modern facili- ties. It contains two new class- rooms, a library-resource centre, a special education centre and a new gymnasium/auditorium. George Matys, director of edu- cation, for the North of Superior Roman Catholic Separate School Board, said the project, which began in August 1989, was sup- posed to have been completed by "We didn't want to pay for it and he [the builder] didn't want to pay for it," Matys said. Approximately 160 full time students are enrolled at Holy Angels School. During the delays they attended some classes in a portable classroom set up back of the school and in one large classroom divided into two. The lack of a chimney created heating problems that were over- come by using construction heaters when the children were in school, Matys said. When the school was vacant, he explained, the Fire Marshall allowed the use of the boiler to heat the builder. The school was not cold when the children arrived in the morn- the spring of 1990. ing, he said.

When the old section of the school was torn down the chim- ney, which was to remain stand- ing for use, was. damaged suffi- ciently that replacement was required, he said.. Delays in construction arose during the dispute over who was responsible for a new chimney. Matys said that improvements at the school have been a priority with the Board for sixteen years. "It had no gymnasium - the children were using the basement - and no library resource centre." The Board received approval from the Ministry of Education only after 16 proposals.

EAGER presented council with the idea of having the same truck pick up newspapers in Terrace Bay on route to Thunder Bay and boost the tonnage. v9 Response was much better" In an interview with The News, Cottrell said that Council responded much better to the group than last time. "They realize they are going to have trouble with the dump now," she said. Jim Ziegler, Township Reeve, said the council was not opposed to the idea but is concerned about its economic feasibility. "It's the economics of the operation ," he said," If there was a private contractor that came through and picked up the material that would be one thing." The Abitibi plant in Thunder Bay that recycles the paper requires it be dry and bundled. This would require storage space. "Now we have to look at a building big enough to handle a lot of paper," Ziegler said. Citizen group is eager for recycling He said the Council realizes it is going to come to a crunch here in the next five to ten years. "No guarantees" Ziegler said the township is willing to work with the group. However, he said he can't guarantee any follow through. "Hopefully the provincial government will come through and realize that it is a problem and put up some more funding, " he added. Council members requested Cottrell to arrange a meeting between themselves and the Ministry of the Environment to gain more detailed information. \ sd DIANNE O'NEILL TERRACE BAY INSURANCE - A COMPLETE INSURANCE SERVICE COMPETITIVE RATES FOR QUALITY COVERAGE SIMCOE PLAZA TERRACE BAY 825 - 3246 | LTD. * Home * Business * Auto *Cottages * Recreational Vehicles * Etc.
