Local literacy program invites all to info session By Pam McKeever September 8. is Literacy Day. It's a day when all of us must spend some time thinking about the five million Canadian adults who need help with reading and writing. Look around you. Has anyone asked you to read anything for him/her lately? Have you had to help someone fill in a form or a cheque? Has anyone phoned to ask you about a recent notice from the Town or a school? Maybe our program could help them. We have an adult literacy program here. We offer confiden- tial, one-to-one tutoring for adults who need help with reading, writ- ing and numeracy. _ Even in our small towns, we have managed to keep the identities of our students secret if that is what they wish. Only. the Co-ordintaor and one tutor will know who is" involved. Start talking about literacy; tell your friends and neighbours about the local literacy program. It's absolutley free and available to any adult who needs the help. We plan to-celebrate Literacy Day with a special information day at the local libraries. We'll have coffee and doughnuts, and people will be available to answer your questions, Perhaps you would like to be involved as a tutor. We'll have tutors there to talk to you about it. Maybe you would just like to _ know more about illiteracy in Canada. We'll have the facts for you. Come and talk with us. For further information about our local program, call Pam McKeever at 824-2657, or contact your library. The Literacy Day program at your local library will be Thursday afternoon, Sept. 8 from 2.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m. You can also attend an evening session from 7.00 pm. to 8.00 p.m. See you there! Entertainment Series members happy to showcase spectacular Ukrainian dancers The Terrace Bay/Schreiber Entertainment Series' 1988-89 season begins with a Ukranian dance explosion. The Bulava Cossack Ensemble is a spell-binding group who have preserved the wild, energetic excitement of their heritage and have combined that with North American techniques and Style. Worries in wake of Quebec plant blast Continued from page 1 tant studies released on Aug. 15, as well as the ministry's experience with contaminated waste oil prob- lems. = In one instance, road oiling with PCB-contaminated waste oil result- ed in the pollution of Lake Clear in Sebastopol Township east of Ottawa. PCBs from nearby oiled roads contaminated Lake Clear and accumulated in the flesh of four species of fish at levels which required that human consumption be restricted. The clean-up which followed in 1984 cost Ontario taxpayers $1- million. A Study by Acres International Limited compared the environmen- tal impacts of various dust suppres-" sants. The report concludes that as long as waste oil is applied as a dust suppressant, the potential exists for environmental damage to be caused. It states that calcium chloride is effective and poses less environmental risk. A second study by Victor & Burrell Research and Consulting investigated the economics of waste oil management options, including re-refining, use as a fuel and use as a dust suppressant. The study concluded that if road oiling were eliminated, waste oil would be redirected to re-refiners and fuel users, and the cost to municipalities of controlling road dust would increase. This summer, about 16 per cent of unpaved roads in Ontario were oiled to control dust. Alternative materials used to control dust on unpaved roads in Ontario are calci- um chloride, spent pulping liquors and salt brine. Quebec, California and New York have banned the use of oil for dust control. ' This eight-member dance troupe was founded in 1979, and their credits include numerous appearances in nightclubs. As well, in 1982 Television Network featured a one-hour special on Bulava. They have just returned from bringing their special brand of excitement to areas in England, Scotland and South America. The Entertainment Series Committee members hope you will join them in welcoming Bulava to the Terrace Bay/Schreiber area on October 11, 1988 at 8 p.m. in the Terrace Bay High School auditorium.
