Page 2, Tuesday, Sept. 15, 1992 Bell investments Improvements in services for Bell Canada's 994 sub- scribers in and around Schreiber accounted for $448,000 in capital expendi- tures in 1991. For the 1,066 subscribers in Terrace Bay, Bell spent $65,000 to improve and expand its range of cus- tomer services.

Surplus positions As a result of cost-cutting measures at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), two positions--one at the LCBO store in Terrace Bay and one in Schreiber--have been identi- fied as 'surplus.' LCBO Media Relations Coordinator Chris Layton says the surplus jobs were identified through a Provincial Auditor's study, conducted in 1987. "We're acting on the recom- mendations of the study, which identified 141 surplus posi- tions," said Layton. "The affected employees have been given a number of options." The options include an early retirement program and "bumping", a process which involves moving employees with different levels of seniori- ty into different jobs. For example, a full-time employee may become a part-time one, while the part-time one may LONG LAKE - AGUASABON - KENOGAMI WATERWAY STUDY PUBLIC WORKSHOP TERRACE BAY CURLING CLUB WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16/92 7:00 P.M.

"This isn't like a situation where a company announces a layoff and a certain number of employees get pink slips." Some of the positions have been eliminated through attri- tion, but a decline in alcohol sales and a slumping economy has meant that the LCBO accelerated the pace of the cut backs.
