development at South Indian Lake has been stymied by the provincial Northern of departments bureaucratic approach and according to the elected local the hand that offers the greatest financial support to our Community is also the hand that hinders Brief ties fishing decline to Hydro Leaf rapids commercial fish ing on Southern Indian Lake May be impossible by the South Indian Lake Community Council the reason is a drastic drop in the Quality of the one million Pound catch of Pickerel and Pike resulting from the Manitoba Hydro Churchill River said a Brief presented yesterday to the new democratic party Northern task before flooding in the Lake produced almost entirely Export but the proportion of the catch judged to be of Export Quality declined to Only 38 per cent last the Brief said that despite Hydro pre flooding predictions of minimal of the Shoreline in some sections is eroding at the rate of almost 21 metres a year and whole islands have Digap the sediment is believed to be causing the lower Quality merely five years after the scientists not paid by Hydro Tell us what fishermen have known All along the Quality of fish has gone Down and Mercury Levels in Pike and Pickerel have gone the Mercury count in Pickerel in 1978 reached parts per million in the South Bay Well above the then accepted level of parts per the Safe level has since been in creased to one part per John Thompson said health authorities have taken blood and hair samples and a number of residents have been flown out for further Obser vation of possible Mercury the Council Brief criticizes Hydro quite minimal which changes from year to Hydro has paid fishermen the differ ence in Price due to the diminishing Quality of their this a 22 Centa Pound incentive Bonus was introduced to encourage fishermen to look for to Grade the Council said few to Quality fish were so the super Bonus boils Down to practically when fishermen press Hydro for More comprehensive they Are told that nothing has been proven yet and the fishermen will have to wait to see How the Lake the Brief we cant wait any if we Well development again and the Council said in a 10page Brief presented to opposition Leader Howard Pawley and members of a new democratic party Northern task councillors John Thompson and Hilda Dysart said they were told yesterday by a department official that the Council would be dissolved no reason was Thompson weve had a lot of disagree but the Only reason we could think of for this action was that some department officials visited us a while ago complaining that we were not cod ing our accounts they rifled through a lot of our files before they he Dale Northern affairs Deputy said in Thomp son yesterday that the department had no intention of dissolving the Council or taking any of its authority or response he said the problem was very it is nothing serious and a few of our people will visit the Council tuesday to discuss we Are certainly not trying to Lay blame on the Council because some of our own people Are supposed to help local officials with such Stewart in its the Council said that while it had to account for every Penny spent the department seems to be Able to make flagrant mis takes and not have to account to any cited As an example was a Laundro planned by the Council to be constructed in with received from the Frontier school the original Laundro mat was part of Complex and Square dancing is losing popularity in but its still a delightful excuse for travelling and getting to meet end Alk at Bow to part males prove to be squares when it comes to giving

Square Doug said Square dancing popularity has declined dramatically in the last 20 from about members in the Square dance federation of Mani Toba in 1960 to about just he attributes the decline to the rising popularity of bowl Curling and other rather than to people becoming turned off with Square Square dancing has remained More popular in Rural Manitoba because there Are fewer other activities he the travel Square dancers do is where the fun really Doug Good time Christine said that despite the pub pics belief that gatherings such As the one planned for Winnipeg in 1984 Are people in fact just get together to have a Good time and meet other the 1984 Winnipeg gathering is expected to include dancers from the United new zealand and language is no problem on the dance floor

direct Roy caller for the Whir Laway westerners Square dance said he started Square dancing when he was about but didst like it because in those Days the movements were much More Jerky and girls were often lifted off the sometimes with injuries As the patterns were set and dancers memorized he but in the Early people started displaying boredom with the so new patterns were developed and callers
