In session Sept. 23, two Councillors voted for one pro- posal, two voted for another, and the fifth, Councillor Chris Joubert, was excluded from the debate after declaring a conflict of interest. Council has been unable to agree whether or not the gorge development, which is, located next to Joubert's Aguasabon Trailer Park, should be accessi- ble to the disabled. But a new proposal by Moore/George Associates, the consulting firm designing the development, may be able to bridge the gap between the councillors. A decision must be made soon if work is to begin this year, as concrete for the devel- opment must be poured before the snow comes. Cocaine bust in Schreiber | Remember summer? by Darren MacDonald The News Eight grams of cocaine and 24 cartons of American cigarettes were seized on Sept. 24 as a result of a joint investi- gation by the Schreiber O.P.P. and the Marathon R.C.M.P. The R.C.M.P. have charged John and Deborah Lynn Van- derwerf of Talbotville, Ont., with possession of a narcotic for the purpose of trafficking, and with possession of a nar- cotic. Sgt. Templar of the Schreiber O.P.P. said his detachment received an anony- mous tip on Monday about a solution for Terrace Bay deadlock During the Sept. 23 session, councillors were presented with two development options. The first, in which the Gorge development would not be accessible to disabled persons, would cost $183,000. Two observation decks and a parking lot would be built, and money would be available to build washrooms, erect road signs to attract tourists, and possibly to build a footbridge. The second option presented to Council would be accessible to the disabled. For $380,000, a parking lot and one smaller Observation deck with a wheelchair ramp would be built. However, no money would be left over for road signs or washrooms, and an additional $40,000 would have to be raised. The Ministry of Mines and Northem Development is pro- viding 75 per cent of the fund- ing, or $255,000. The remain- ing $85,000 has been set aside for the project by the town. ar carrying American ibe "Our original information was about cigarettes," Templar said. "That's why we contacted "The tip we got named names..." Sgt. Templar of the Schreiber O.P.P., on the tip that led to the seizure of 8 grams of cocaine. the R.C.M.P,, because it was a customs thing." Police stopped the vehicle at 2 p.m. Tuesday, as it trav- elled east on Highway 17. Councillors must decide if more people will get to see less gorge, or if less people will get to see more. . Councillor Mike King argued in favour of going ahead with the first option. . "I would like to make it handicapped accessible because it would be nice," King said. "But it's not really part of the rugged image we're trying "The tip we got named names of people who were allegedly selling cigarettes in the area," Templar said, adding the O.P.P. received the tip around 11 a.m. Tuesday. After a search of the car, R.C.M.P. laid drug-related charges. The couple were arraigned in Schreiber Wednesday morm- ing. The woman was released after promising to appear in court, and the man was released on $1,500 cash bail. More charges may still be laid under the Custom and Excise Act, with regard to the to portray in Terrace Bay." King said it would be sense- less to develop the gorge, and then have no money left to attract tourists. "T think it might be difficult to go back to the people and say 'we're spending twice as much and only doing half the job'" he said. But Reeve Jim Ziegler said he could not support a develop- ment that was not accessible to the disabled. "T won't go along with elim- inating handicapped accessibil- ity," Ziegler said. "T think council is making one big mistake." Ziegler tried to get all the councillors to support the idea ~ of going to Transportation Min- ister Gilles Pouliot for the extra $40,000. If he couldn't get the extra money, Ziegler said would agree to eliminating disabled accessibility. He was supported by Councillor Bill Houston. "I'd rather go to the ministry and ask for money for the whole thing,". Houston said. "I see money being wasted if we go the short way." But King refused to go along with the idea. "We're going to have a $380,000 gorge development and we're not going to have any signs to stop people," he said. King was backed up by Councillor John St. Amand, who argued that the gorge could be made accessible to the disabled when there was money available. Eventually, it was agreed to let Ziegler go to Gilles Pouliot and see how much money, if any, was available. But on Wednesday, Moore/George Associates came up with a new design. It would cost less than $340,000 and would be accessible to the dis- abled. Although the observation deck would be much smaller, money would be left over to continued on page 2 American cigarettes.
