The Watoto Children’sChoir Attracts Large Audi-ence
Adeline ChappellStaff_______________It was standing room
only in The Michael KingHall in Terrace Bay onThursday, March 31st,2011. Area residents weretreated to an intriguingevening of entertainmentby the Watoto Children’sChoir.
Watoto Children’sChoirs have travelled inter-nationally since 1994 asadvocates for the estimated50 million children inAfrica, orphaned as a resultof HIV/AIDS, war, povertyand disease.
Accompanied by a teamof adults, the choir presentsWatoto’s vision and mis-sion through their stories,music and dance. Watotochoirs act as ambassadorsto raise awareness aboutthe plight of the orphanedand vulnerable children ofAfrica.
The choir provided live-ly and soulful perfor-mances and at timesrequired audience partici-pation, which was a hugehit.
After the concert thecrowd was encouraged tovisit the souvenirs and gifttables. The proceeds fromthe sales went towards thevulnerable women ofUganda and to help withtravel expenses of the choir.The Sponsorship Programdisplay area also receivedmany visitors. Sponsorswere able to choose fromseveral options availablethrough the Watoto Spon-sorship Program; BabyWatoto, Watoto Child,House Mother, or SchoolTeacher, and have theirsponsorship immediatelytake effect. A silver collec-tion circulated and donatorswere informed that 100%of the money collectedwould return to the Watotovillage in aid of the chil-dren.
It was a great feeling toexperience as those thatremained after the concertmingled with members ofthe Choir, especially theinteraction between thechildren.
Mandy Monks, alongwith her 11 year old daugh-ter Mackenna, were inattendance for the concert.“It was a wonderfulevening, and the talent ofthe children are amazing”,stated Mandy. As for her

Terrace Bay Volunteer SavesLives With Just A Few HoursOf Her Time.............................
Terrace Bay resident,Margaret Gander is fight-ing cancer with her time.For over 35 years Mar-garet has been workingtirelessly with CanadianCancer Society as afundraiser, treasurer, andcouncil member. Whenasked what she does forthe organization, Margarettook a deep breath andprovided quite the list: “Icollect donations for the InMemoriam cards and dothe door-to-door canvassand daffodils sales. I don’tdo the canvassing all bymyself, but we have vol-unteers that help us out.Over the years volunteershave come and gone soany role that needs to bedone, I step in and makesure it’s completed”.
As Margaret tells us
more about her role withthe organization, it is clearher dedication comes froma passion for the cause.“We had cancer in ourfamily,” Margaretexplains,” I was young atthe time and I wanted todo something to help theCanadian Cancer Society.It’s very rewarding to beable to do something”.
The “something” thatMargaret refers to is aninvaluable effort by vol-unteers on a regular basisthat helps the CanadianCancer Society fight can-cer in the community by:
• funding research pro-jects
• providing rides to andfrom cancer-related carefor people living with can-cer

“Then were there two thieves crucified with Him,one on the right side and another on the left.”Matthew 27:38
Dear Reader: Those two thieves are representativeof all mankind. We all start out in this world in unbe-lief, like the two of them, as they were placed next tothe Son of God. They showed no respect, mockingJesus Christ and caring only for themselves. Thecrowd around the crosses were jeering and ridicul-ing the Lord: “... if Thou be the Son of God comedown from the cross ... He saved others; Himself Hecannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him nowcome down from the cross and we will believe Him.He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if Hewill have Him. For He said, I am the Son of God.The thieves also, were crucified with Him, reviledHim with the same thing.” Matthew 27:40-44
Dear Friend: The Saviour of the world neverdefended Himself nor spoke a word of reprimand tothis mocking crowd. Jesus Christ had been sent intoour world in order to save us from our sins and con-demnation. Our Lord stated this fact very early inHis ministry. “For God sent not His Son into theworld to condem the world; but that the world,through Him, might be saved.” John 3:17 On thecross, our Lord did make several statements andafter His first statement something changed with thethief on the right side. Both thieves would haveheard these words: “Father, forgive them; for theyknow not what they do ...” Luke 23:34 This thief onthe right side had a change of heart concerning whothis “Jesus” was. In his eyes Jesus was no longer afellow criminal, suffering what was due Himbecause of an illegal activity. The thief on the leftcontinued with his insults: “Aren’t You the Christ?Save Yourself and us!” Luke 23:39 The thief on theright began to see things the way they truly were andhe spoke against this fellow criminal: “Do you notfear God seeing you are in the same condemnation?And we indeed justly; for we receive the due rewardof our actions. But this Man has done nothingwrong. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember mewhen You come into Your Kingdom.” Luke 23:40-42This man had a change of mind about himself andacknowledged his own guilt before God (repen-tance). At the same time, he trusted that Jesus Christ,the One on the middle cross, was whom He claimedto be, the very Son of God (faith). There - before hetook his final breath - the thief on the right side sawthat Jesus, as man, was also God, by confessing,with all his heart, that one word “Lord”. “The Lordanswered ... Today you shall be with Me in Par-adise.” Luke 23:43
Which side of the cross are you on?

Margaret has been withthe organization longenough to see the changes
in her community and toreally appreciate the valueof helping her fellow resi-dents. “The people thatreceive help, they knowyou’re there for them and Ithink that’s very impor-tant” explains Margaret.
This April the CanadianCancer Society is askingthe community to donateas few as three hours oftheir time to help save livesand support those livingwith cancer. Margaret iscertainly behind the orga-nization regarding thisrequest:
“It is within yourself,the satisfaction that moti-vates you. It’s very reward-ing. I challenge everyonein the community to joinme in fighting back. Youonly need to spare a fewhours of your time to makean enormous difference inthe lives of people withcancer.”
April is the month tofight back and become aCanadian Cancer Societyvolunteer. For more infor-mation or to volunteer inTerrace Bay/Schreiber,please visit fightback.caor call 1-800-227-5557.

A l o n g t h e S h o r e L i n eA Community Digitizing Project
For the past two months,the public libraries in Ter-race Bay, Nipigon andSchreiber, as well as theSchreiber Railroad Muse-um, the Schreiber Histori-cal Society and the Her-itage and Tourism Commit-tee, have come together in apartnership called Alongthe Shore Line with theintention of migrating theirarchives material into digi-tal form. This CommunityDigitization Project, orCDP for short, providesnew technologies in orderto make archived materialavailable to the generalpublic in an effort to bringthe history of our localtownships out of thearchive rooms and into theInternet. The CDP provideslocal job opportunities andthe possibility forresearchers, far beyondthese towns, to access andlearn about the history,development, economy andattractions of the region
and of its people.
The resources for theCDP are managed by OurOntario, a service ofKnowledge Ontario, inconjunction with the part-ners in the area, thanks to a15 million dollar grantfrom the Ministry of Cul-ture through SouthernOntario Library Service(SOLS) and OntarioLibrary Service-North(OLSN) with the objectiveof helping Ontario commu-nities preserve their cultur-al assets, disseminate theirhistory and to make itavailable on-line.
The CDP project is nowin its third and last phase,coming to an end inDecember 2011. By then,the CDP will leave its part-ners with equipment, soft-ware and trained digitizingtechnicians who will haveall the necessary means tocarry on digitizing and

Along the Shore Line Con-cluded
Continued from Page 2make it an on-going,non-stop project, as his-tory and records will cer-tainly continue to surfacewell after 2011.
To date, the collectionput forth by the partici-pants of the Along theShore Line partnershipincludes a wide varietyof objects, scrapbooks,audio cassettes, videos,photographs, old nega-tives and printed materialpertaining to the region’shistory, such as chroni-cles of the town of Jack-fish, documents aboutthe beginnings of TerraceBay, and a comprehen-sive history of Nipigonand Schreiber. Theamount of material isenough to keep busy thegroup of five digitizingtechnicians for a longtime, so the project isexpected to go on, but itis also important for theCDP to invite people inthe community to partici-pate in this initiative bybringing some of theirpersonal collections to bedigitized and displayedon the Internet. There areno specific dates deter-mined so far for public
digitizing sessions, as theproject has only recentlystarted; however, thepartners will put out theword in the comingmonths when Along theShore Line is ready todigitize material frommembers of the commu-nity.
While the results of theefforts made by theAlong the Shore Linepartners will be informa-tive for anyone who haslived or visited thesetownships, for techni-cians it will be undoubt-edly gratifying to seetheir efforts give thecommunity the opportu-nity to get to know itshistory through review-ing on-line copies of pri-mary sources. If you areinterested or would likemore information aboutthe Community Digitiza-tion Project, visitwww.knowledgeon-tario.ca(KOsolutions/OurOntario) or come visit us direct-ly in the library archives,get involved and be onthe look out for commu-nity digitizing days!!

editorial...We are almost half way
through the month ofApril--this astounds me. Idon’t know how timeflies, but it manages to doso in the most sneakyfashion. One minute, it’smorning and you’reenjoying that first cup ofjava, and the next minute,you are tucking yourselfinto bed! This comingfrom a person who makesit her job not to have abusy life style. If mydaily agenda doesn’tinclude a nap, that is aheavy workload day and Imake a conscious choicenot to have too many ofthose! If time is going tofly by at a pace rivalingthe Indy 500, than I willmake sure it is qualitytime doing those things Ienjoy. The present feder-al election isn’t one ofthem. Listening to thevarious platforms of theparties is a yawn. Hear-ing them throw out insultsabout each other is bor-ing. I feel no passionabout any party, anyleader, any platform.There was a time, Ithought, when peoplewere much more verbalabout who they support-ed. Now most do notknow who to vote for,even those who havestuck with a certain partyfor years. Possibly wehave seen too many gov-ernment mess ups, heardabout too many govern-ment cover ups or aretired of broken electionpromises. The partyleaders do not inspire me,they do not give me hopefor the future and theirpromises of a better gov-ernment for Canada cer-tainly do not impress me.I want to be knocked offmy feet by someone whohas a new vision, oozespositive energy, and has atrue connection with thepeople. His or her ralliesshould resemble a JustinBieber concert and theirword as believable as theDalai Lama’s. Someonewho would be a breath offresh air in a stagnantpolitical pond. A girl candream!

Paulette Lalonde ForsythMy World.......And Welcome To It
I will confess, I do notlike ice fishing. Yes, Iknow it is one of themost enjoyed winteractivities northernersdo, but not me. Untillast weekend. The hus-band decided that weshould do a trial run onthe snowmachine to seeif we both fit on it.Laugh if you will, but ithas been many years andmany pounds since wedoubled (in more waysthan one!) on themachine. It was a beau-tiful, sunny day and Icouldn’t think of anexcuse why not, so Iagreed. Half way to thelake, I noticed I couldn’tfeel my right foot--actu-ally, I couldn’t feel myentire right leg. Beingin complete denial, Ididn’t mention the factuntil we reached ourdestination and he had toroll me off the seat.“Why didn’t you tell mesooner that your leg hadfallen asleep?” he
days were slowly closingin on me, and I remem-bered why I didn’t like it--too cold, and no fish!Once again, the line gavea tug and I screamed withexcitement at the possi-bility of catching some-thing large enough to fry.With a mighty pull, Ibegan to yard the line upto the opening. I couldsee the fish coming up, abeautiful specimen ofperch that would fit nice-ly in a frying pan. I wasjust about to give thefinal pull when the hookflew up and out and thefish fell off. There hewas, a keeper no doubt,swimming around therim of the ice hole like agoldfish in a fish bowl.The husband and I stoodover watching, until Ismacked his arm anddemanded, “Get it!” Justas he motioned to grab it,it swam down the holenever to be seen again.But the day did not endin despair--I would catchmany more and, the bestand most important thingof all--out fish the hus-band!

Terrace Bay Council To RequestFeasibility Study on the Costsand Benefits of Improving the“Sultan Road”
Adeline ChappellStaff_______________The Sultan Industrial
Road is a private road.Originally built as aresource route for E. B.Eddy's logging and lumberoperations in thenorthwestern SudburyDistrict, the road is nowowned and operated byDomtar following itsacquisition of E. B. Eddyin 1998. It is under apublic access agreementwith the province,permitting its use forpublic travel.
During Terrace Bay’sCouncil meeting of March21, 2011 under OtherBusiness, discussion washeld in reference to SultanRoad.
Points which were
noted are as follows;• The distance from
Sudbury to Wawa onHighway 17 is 526 kmsand the distance fromSudbury to Wawa via theSultan route is 422 kms atpresent.
• The Sultan routeincludes 81 kms of gravelroad and 341 kms of 80 kmpaved highway.
• That Highway 17 fromSault Ste. Marie to Wawais very hilly in severalsections and transportshave difficulty at timestraversing these hills andlose much time and usemore fuel to do so.
• The Saulte Ste. Marieto Wawa section ofHighway 17 is in a snowbelt and subject to lakeeffect snow blizzards and
as a result is oftendangerous to travel in thewinter months and isclosed often as a result ofthese storms and ensuingaccidents.
• The Sultan Road ismainly flat terrain and notsubject to lake effectstorms.
• With the increase inthe costs of gasoline anddiesel fuel it is importantthat we look at ways toreduce fuel consumptionfor all travellers on ourhighways.
• A reduction inconsumption also reducesthe amount of pollutionand lessens the carbonfootprint.
• With fewer kilometresto travel and on animproved highway traveltime for a now 6.5 hourdrive could be reduced to a4 - 4.5 hour drive.
• Improving the roads inthis area of Ontario fallswithin the scope of the“Grow North Plan” foropening up NorthernOntario.
It was resolved that theCouncil of Terrace Bayrequest that theGovernment of Ontariothrough the Ministry ofTransportation do aFeasibility Study on theCosts and Benefits ofImproving the “SultanRoad” and Highways 144,667, 129, and 101 to thesame class as Highway 17.Also, a copy of thisresolution be forwarded toThe Minister of NorthernDevelopment and Minesand Forestry and NOMAand the member
municipalities of NOMArequesting their support.

Why The Egg At Easter???Ever wonder what the
big deal is with eggs atEaster? We paint them, eatones made out of choco-late, and send cards withthem on it. And, while wehave come to accept thecurious sight of a largeEaster Bunny carrying abasket of eggs – most of usdon't know exactly why theegg has taken on this role.
Since ancient days, the
egg has been the symbol ofnew life. Even before itbecame entwined with theChristian Easter, eggs wereused by Romans, Chinese,and Egyptians inrite–of–spring festivals as away to celebrate the dawnof a new season.
In Pagan times, the eggrepresented the rebirth ofEarth and was seen to havemagical powers that would
bless the start of the grow-ing season – they wereeven buried amongst crops.
In the western context,eggs were originally for-bidden during Lent as wellas other traditional springfasting days in westernChristianity. But sincechickens would not stopproducing eggs, the end ofthe fast meant there was anunusually large surplus ofeggs that needed to beeaten just in time for East-er.
Today, charities likeChristian Children's Fundof Canada, an internationalchildren's charity, let youshare in the tradition of theegg by providing babychicks to a family in apoverty–stricken country.The chicks will lay eggsand provide the family withfood and a source ofincome for years to come.So rather than buying morechocolate eggs or anotherstuffed toy, why not sharein the tradition of the Easter
egg and give the gift ofnew life at www.ccfcana-da.ca.
