World day of prayer When Christians around the world gather for World Day of Prayer services on March 6, 1992, concer for the environ- ment will be at the heart of their prayers. They will be invited to reflect on the chal- lenge of "Living Wisely with Creation." Prepared by women from Austria, Germany and Switzerland, the service for 1992 is written from the per- spective of industrialized countries which have experi- enced tremendous economic growth and advances in tech- nology, and are only now beginning to look at the envi- ronmental costs of unlimited progress. The order of worship carefully weaves together Scripture readings, including an exuberant psalm in praise of their countries after WW II, and concems about the present ecological crisis. The tower of Babel becomes a symbol of Terrace Bay organizers ready for 1992 winter carnival by Darren MacDonald The News As the Schreiber Winter Carnival draws to a close, it's time to start gearing up for Ter- race Bay's.

"The best pot of chili wins," Borsa says, "the best tasting, the best looking." There's also a puppet show for children, a fly party, and a travel night at the Legion. At travel night, slides of China, Alaska and the Car- - ribean will be shown. There's also a snow machine poker rally, snow shoe races, cross country ski races, a snowman contest and a snow sculpture contest. "We've also asked the two elementary schools in town to have the kids draw a poster," she says. "The theme is winter ps scavenger hunt will also be held, as well as an egg toss, a casino night and a footsy ball tournament,. which she describes as a "little soccer h game".

The service in this area will be held Friday, March 6 at St. Martin's Parish. In Canada, the World Day of Prayer is sponsored by the Women's Inter-Church Council of Cana- da, and local services are orga- nized by ecumenical commit- tees. McQuarrie review favourable According to a press release from the Lake Superior Board of Education, a resolution was passed accepting a report from the Director's Performance Ad Hoc Committee. The report was in part based on a questionnaire filled out by trustees, system admin- istration and principals. The questionnaire dealt with a review of Director of Educa- tion Ian McQuarrie's perfor- mance. The report's conclusion reads " .. . the Performance Review Committee has deter- mined the Director of Educa- tion of the Lake Superior Board of Education--lIan McQuarrie--to be a very com- petent leader in all areas of his responsibilities." In other news, Sylvie Chappell has been appointed a teacher at LSHS, and Howard Alexander has joined the Teacher Funded leave plan. continued from page 1 jects and maintenance work.

But this Council has recog- nized the problem." Before the Culverhouse study, he says Council received many conflicting opinions on the condition of the lines. "We said to him, 'Jim, this is what we would like you to do, and we want you to be honest with us--tell it like it is because we have different people telling us different things about the state of the électrical system,' " Ziegler says. "We received his report, and now we're acting on it." He also says he would like Terrace Bay Hydro people who have a particular concern--like hydro--to attend council meetings. "T realize some of them are long," he says, "but people could. call up Christine (Broughton) or Dave (Fulton) and ask for a copy of the agenda. And if there's some- | thing there that interests them, show. up. We want people to know where their tax dollars are going." A common misconception people have is that money being spent on tourism could be spent on hydro, Ziegler says. "Hydro is a completely separate budget," he says. "It has nothing to do with the township budget." Ontario Hydro charges Ter- race Bay Hydro a certain amount for power, based on time of usage. "And we increase the rates a certain amount so we can do this work," he says. "Grants for tourism programs are totally separate." 3 Lae Ss Hairstyling 824-3300 ~ Starting at $35.00 March 3rd - 21st See Patti, Lynn, eyane,
