Len Maclaggart, Helicopter Pilot:

"Golden Sunshine hChances are, when Len MacTaggart is

not at home, he is flying hs 206 JetRanger helicopter. The resident managerof Dominion-Pegasus HelicopterServices, Len operates out of his baseon Sudbury's Algonquin Road and isperhaps more familiar with the Sudburydistrict than anyone in the area.

With over 12,800 hours of flying timeto his credit, Len knows just about everynook and cranny in Northern Ontario."When it comes to pertinent landmarks,says Len, "I just about know them all,"pointing out that his many years offlying in the Sudbury district have madehim familiar with most of the district'smarkings.

Along with pilot Jim Lyons andresident flight engineer Gary Gorigichuk,Len is responsible for the operation oftwo Jet Rangers.

Whether it's relocating a diamond drillback of Lake Agnew, conducting a wild-life count in the Massey area or flyingover far Northern Ontario terrain onmagnetometer readings, it's all in a day'swork.

"I've always enjoyed flying, whetherit's fixedwing or helicopter", says Len,its a great feeling being up there, but

when you have a clear blue sky, alongwith golden sunshine, that's the icing onthe cake."

With the advent of spring and improvedweather conditions, both Len and Jimare getting ready for their busy season.During spring breakup, many hours arespent on flood control, checking possibletrouble spots along rivers, dams andvalleys. Then there is the weekendHydro line patrol, where spot checks arecarried out on existing power lines.

"We're getting into our busy seasonall right," says Len. "As a matter of fact,it's nothing for us to spend 10 hours aday in the air during the sjmmermonths." Len vividly recal Is last summerwhen the two machines wore kept busyfighting forest fires.

Pilot Len MacTaggart, left, and resident flight engineer, Gary Gorigichuk, are getting ieady foran early morning test flight. The $250,000 Jet Ranger comes equipped with floats for easyaccess to Northern Ontario terrain.

Icing On The Cake"We were going from sun-up to sun-

down", he says, adding that negotiatingthe chopper just above tree level onmany occasions made for a tired pilot atthe end of the day's run.

Cruising at a comfortable 120 mitesper hour, the Jet Ranger carries fivepeople, including the pilot. A full tank ofjet fuel is good for 2½ hours of flyingsince, under normal conditions, themachine consumes onty 23 gallons perhour.

as driving a car on an uncrowdedhighway."

It is interesting to note that Len iscurrently working with the Sudbury FireDepartment to design a program whichwitI remove tenants from high riseapartment buildings in case of fire.

When it comes to rescue work", saysLen, 'you simply can't beat the heli-copter. We've found many a lost trapperor fisherman and successfutly broughthim out of the bush."

It's a rather incredible machine", saysLen, and there is very little you can'tdo with it. In my books, it's just as safe

It's Len's conviction, atso, that anyonecan be found anywhere in the bush by

simply lighting a fire. You can easilydetect smoke for miles", he adds, 'soit's a good thing to keep this in mind ifyou ever get lost."

According to Len, the hard part aboutlearning to fly a helicopter is trying tounlearn" the airplane. It's important

to think airplane when you're flying aplane and think helicopter when you'reflying a helicopter. The controls aredifferent", he explains. An airplane hasadvantages of speed, greater passengercapacity and costs less to maintain thana helicopter. I enjoy the helicopterbecause you can vary the speed, fly lowand land anywhere.'

A stringent pre-f light check includes visual inspection of all major components. Here Len andGary test the connection of hydraulic hoses in the engine compartment. It is interesting tonote that the engine itself weighs less than 170 pounds.

Once the furnace walls havebeen bricked, scaffolding iserected to support roof forms.

Back In ServiceIn Record Time

The Copper Cliff No. 9 flash furnace isback in operation after an extensive$500000 rebuild to the furnace and itsassociated equipment.

The job included a complete renewalof the flue dust settling chamber and theoverhaul of the wet cottrell electrostaticprecipitator.

During the construction of the furnace,masons laid some 55,000 individualbricks and used approximately 1,700bags of castable refractories.

Peak activity during the repair job saw58 maintenance mechanics, 19 welders,30 masons and 12 carpenters busy attheir trades, along with additionalpersonnel from the furnace department.

The furnace was back in operationafter a shutdown of only 33 days!

Walls and root have been installed in thesettling chamber, and welders are busysealing all /oints.

"Peg 0' My Heart" ComesTo Quarter Century

Remember the strains of "Peg 0' MyHeart" styled on the harmonica? Thestylist of the past, and the rage on thenight club circuit now, will be at the1976 Quarter Century Club in Sudbury.He is Jerry Murad, and with Jerry comeshis trio of harmonica virtuosos.

This year the very size of the newmembers of the club forces organizersto plan for two days at the SudburyArena so that everyone can get to seethe fine night of entertainment and seeit in some degree of comfort. How welllast year's show, headlined by DennisDay, was tarnished by the heat andthe crowd!

The 1976 Quarter Century Club willclearly be the biggest show ever. Wellover one thousand employees will beinitiated into this select club at dinnerdances two nights prior to the big show.

Monday, May 17, the Mining andMilling departments will welcome their628 new members with dinner anddancing at the Walden Arena. Sudbury's"Big Band Sound" band will be inattendance, to supply the very danceablerhythms. Also on Monday, May 17,inductees from the Administration andEngineering groups will be welcomedwith a dinner and dance at the ItalianClub in Copper Cliff. Jack Musico andhis "Music Shoppe" will be there.Tuesday, May 18, the Smelting andRefining departments will salute their 345new members at the Walden Arena, andthe "Big Band Sound" will provide theIi It.

There are a few minor changes thisyear, organizers state. They include nofree meal at the Sudbury Arena for thenights of entertainment. However, freebeverages and popcorn will be on hand.Arena doors open at 6 p.m., and becausethere are two nights of entertainment,every seat in the place should be a goodone.

All the vice-presidents have assured"The Triangle" that the "pensionerdays" at the various mines and plants

will be continued through 1976, and thatthese may well take the place of food atthe arena.

The nights of entertainment willheadline the "Harmonicats" with JerryMurad, and will be put together by BobDiPaulo, of Calgary. Roly Hammond, thatentertaining, multitalented master of witand ceremonies, will be the M.C. The

"Rebounders" will be along with theirtine trampoline work, and to add a realtouch of beauty and charm, the "OrientalPrincess Dance Revue" will be on theshow.

It is hoped that this year's edition ofthe Quarter Century Club book will bein the mail by May first. Tickets andinvitations have already gone out.

Columbia recording stars "Jerry Murad's Harmonicats", with their own super-stereo soundthat's as new as tomorrow, will headline the nights of entertainment during this year's QuarterCentury gatherings. Their world-famous record "Peg 0' My Heart", recorded in 1947, hasspiraled upwards with new sales each year until it now totals over 10 million!

The sound drifted down the corridor.It was hard to notice at first, but as youwent closer it became stronger untilyou couldn't hear anything else. Finally,through double doors, the final barrier,you were engulfed by it.

Anyone can experience thisphenomenon if they happen to bewalking the corridors of CambrianCollege in Sudbury on any Tuesdayevening - practice night. The soundwe're talking about is classical music,and the music emanates from Sudbury'snewly-formed symphony orchestra,known officially as the "SudburySymphony Orchestra."

This is the stuff that dreams aremade from. This is the world of musicthat is capable of capturing yourimagination and taking you on a trip toa whose new dimension!

But let's come back to earth for aminute and get some details. TheSudbury Symphony is under thedirection of Dr. Metro Kozak, a faculty

member in the music department atCambrian College. Dr. Kozak has animpressive list of credentials. As ascholarship student, he was concertmaster of the University of TorontoSymphony, Yale Coflegium Musicum,Boston University Symphony and thePhilharmonic Orchestra of theUniversity of Michigan.

The Sudbury Symphony was formedin the summer of 1975 and grew out ofthe old Sudbury PhilharmonicOrchestra. They held their first concertin October of 1975 and also performeda concert at Christmas. The orchestraitself consists of some 65 musicians,varying in age from 12 years right upto senior citizens. They are allamateurs in the sense that they receiveno payment for their services, but theyare professional in their sound.

Many of you may have heard themperform at their spring concert, heldduring April, in the Fraser Auditorium atLaurentian University. The programfeatured french horn player, Harcus

Hennigar, in Mozart's Horn ConcertoNo. 3, as well as Wagner's Overture to"Die Meistersinger" and Mendelsohfl'sSymphony No. 5, "The Reformation".

According to orchestra managerAndree 1ff rig, big things are in storefor the future. "We are planning a seriesof concerts beginning in the fall,"Andree stated. "They will be herd inOctober and December, with two moreplanned for the early part of 1977. Itis our hope to provide music scho!ar-ships with any money we make, and ifyou want to look a long way into thefuture, we hope to gradually becomesemi-professional so that we wiU beable to perform on a more consistentbasis."

So if there are any classical musiclovers around, remember to keep aneye - make that an ear - on theSudbury Symphony Orchestra. Whoknows, maybe someday Sudbury willhave its own professional symphony,offering concerts on a regular basis

teenslearn"what ittakes"

Right across Canada, young peopleare earning what it takes" to get alohgin the business world. And they'relearning first-hand! No testing the waterfor these kids they dive right in and,depending on theft own efforts, eithersink or swim.

Known as 'achievers", they're par-ticpating in the non-profit JuniorAchievement Program which, in Canadaalone, has over 16,000 young members.There's a national office, located inToronto, and there are well over 100regional centres, scattered from Halifaxto Vancouver.

Sudbury's program was initiated in1970 and formally launched in 1972, with30 "achievers" forming two 'companies".

Curious about the actual workings ofthe program, "The Triangle" talked withBarry Davey, of the Ministry ofNatural Resources. Barry's been involvedwith Sudbury's J, A. program since itsinception and, as well as being amember of its board of directors, is theSudbury representative on the nationalboard.

'Its a earning-by-doing experience,to teach teenagers what business is allabout", said Barry. 'The kids arerecruited primarily through guidancecounsellors at the various high schools.

We get together once a week, for about28 weeks, and begin by explaining thebasic corporate structure - the functionsof a president, sales manager, productionsupervisor, and so on. The participantsare divided into groups of about 15, forthe purpose of forming individualcompanies. The need for capital isexpained; shares are so'd. Then there's

the nomination and election of companyofficials; an advisory team suggestsseveral products that are marketable andeasy to make. The achievers choose tneitem they want to manufacture, thenappy to the national office in Toronto fora corporate charter. At the end of thefirst five weeks, the newy-eectedexecutives are sworn in, charters are

presented, and the kids begin in earnest,on their own".

At this time, the advisers withdrawfrom actual participation, and becomeconsultants only. The youngsters them-selves determine their own needsthey set up a purchasing system toacquire materials; they organizeassembly lines and payroll schemes;

they look at break even" charts tocompare costs against returns; theyestablish a marketing program; booksare kept, and inventories taken.

At the end of the project, the com-panies are liquidated by actual legalliquidation process, and profits, if any,are divided among shareholders.

This year, 60 'achievers" have formed

five companies, producing such things aspainted tee shirts, macrame, fuzzybrooches and piggy banks, peg games,and small leather products.

lnco is one of the many local com-panies supporting the Sudbury JuniorAchievement Program. And the supportisn't just financial - there's a lot ofactive participation; for example, MelYoung, assistant to the president of theOntario Division, is a member of theboard of directors; Geoff Lawson, withledger accounting and sales invoicing, ison the board of directors and is also abusiness adviser; Nick Palandra, super-vising buyer with purchasing and ware-housing, is a business adviser; SueVincent, accounts payable clerk, is aprogram adviser, as well as a former'achiever" herself; and Ron Taylor,

president, Ontario Division, is anhonorary director.

About his own personal interest in theprogram, Barry mentioned that 'it'ssomething I happened to get involvedin, and it's really turned me on. We'relooking to expand the number ofparticipants, and eventually, we'd like tohelp the Soo, North Bay, and Timminsinstitute their own programs."

Looks like it's not just the kids whocan be called 'achievers"l

The approva' of that change was oneof two byaw changes that weresanctioned at the meeting. The secondwas to reduce the number of directors ofthe company by three to 22.

L. Edward Grubb, Chairman andChief Officer of the company said, inspeaking to the motion to change the

Shareholders Approve Name Change

name, that it was a change to the nameused by most peop'e when referringto the company and that the emphasisof the entire business of the companywas no onger just nickeL

With reference to the reduction in thenumber of directors, it was noted by Mr.Grubb that surveys of North Americancompanies show that ncos board ofdirectors is arger than those for mostcompanies in the mining and manu-facturing industry. Mr. Grubb stated thatit was timey, therefore, to reduce thesize of the board.

The annua meeting aso wecomedDr. Reva Gerstein as a director, fillingthe vacancy caused by the recent deathof Dr. John Deutsch. Mr. Grubb said thatDr. Gerstein had many of the qua itiesthat were the "haUmarks" of Dr. Deutsch.

Prior to the meeting, the Chairman andother Senior Officers of the company metthe media in a news conference. Onhand again this year for a specia teevi-sion news conference were representa-tives of both Sudbury area stations, RonGosweU, of CKNC-TV, and Mike Krizanc,of CKSO-TV. Other media rep resenta-tives from the "pant" cities of Sudburyand Port Coborne were in attendance.They were Frank Sernak, of CHOWRadio, Port Coborne, and Cars Turtori,of the Welland-Port Coborne Tribune,Michae Hopkins and BiU Pring, of CHNORadio, Sudbury, and Brian Gannon, ofthe Sudbury Daiy Star.

A preview of things to comeshades of green, to welcome a newseason and turn your thoughts tosummer things - camping and fishing,hiking and biking, swimming and boating!

Whatever your preference, Ontario iswild enough, civilized enough, to giveyou all you seek, and more. Explore theunexplored, or enjoy the conveniences ofour Provincial Parks there are overa hundred of them, nestled in some ofthe most beautiful parts of our province.

To find out more about our parks, weheaded for the Ministry of NaturalResources - and Ken Moore, parkssupervsor for the Sudbury district."The Triangle": Ken, how many Pro-vincia Parks do we have in the Sudburyarea, and where are they?Ken: WeH, in our jurisdiction, there arefour Killarney, on Highway 637, is 38mi'es from the junction of Highway 69, in

the North Georgian Bay RecreationReserve. t encompasses some 85,000acres of prime wi'derness and is one ofthe province's few 'primitive" parks, inthat its natura' state is carefuHy main-tained and preserved. Our newestaddition is Halfway Lake, some 19,025acres, 55 mi'es north of Sudbury onHighway 144. Then there's Windy Lake,an "urban" park; that is, it's dose totown and city conveniences. Windy'sthree mi'es north of Levack, just offHighway 144; it has about 290 acres andone of the biggest and best beaches inthe area, Fairbank is our fourth park,13 mites north of Highway 17, at White-fish, and comprises around 324 acres."The Triangle": What are the goingrates, both for picnickers and campers?Ken: For overnight camping, it's $3.50per night per vehic'e, and "check-out"time is 2 p.m. There's no specia' rate

for ength of stay, but there is a 28-daymaximum. f you wanted to camp onger,we suggest you simpy move on toanother park. Then, for day use, it's$1.50, or $15 for the season. And seniorcitizens over 65 get free entrance ifthey're driving the vehice."The Triangle": How ong is a reguarseason, Ken?Ken: OfficiaHy, we open the first Fridayin June, and cose the second Sunday inSeptember. But the parks are avaiabeas ong as they're accessible. mean,October is one of our prettier months,and even through the weather might becooer, quite a few peope prefer theparks at this time. Some of our servicesmay not be avalabe, but that doesn'tmean the parks are off imit."The Triangle": Getting into camping,Ken, what's the capacity of each park,and what constitutes a camp "site"?

i. • r •and the livin is easy...

Ken: Well, Killarney has 140 campingunits - what we caJl highway-accessibleunits, but there are also about 100interior units, accessible by canoe routes.Halfway has 215 camp sites, Fairbank,160, and Windy, 76. A "site" is usuallyindicated by a numbered post along theroadway; its a cJeared area, approx-mately 35 feet in diameter, and is

generally large enough to accommodatewhatever equipment the user might have.There'll be a fireplace and one ortwo picnic tables, with fresh waterand toilet facilities within easy walkingdistance."The Triangle": How is a Provincial Park'born", Ken?

Ken: Usually, it's a combination of publicdemand, actua need, and, of course, thenatural features have to be theretopography and historicaJ values are aUconsidered. Normally, we have a few

park "reserves" pJaces that havepotential for future development. A parkproject usually takes four to five yearsfrom start to finish, although deveJopmentis an on-going thing."The Triangle": Can you estimate thenumber of peopJe that use a park?Ken: Sure . . by permits. Last year, weissued a total of 10,047 day permits and15,551 camping permits - mind you,that doesn't necessarily representpeope, it ndicates vehicjes. but overthe years, we've been able to figure that,on an average, each vehicje and/orcamp site constitutes four people. Quickcalculation? - over 102,000 park visitorslast year!

So what are you waiting for?! The firstlong weekend of the "season" comes upthis month - May 24, Victoria Day.

Start planning - get camping!

The Ingersoll-Rand DM-6 Drillmasteris a new breed of big-hole blasthole drillthat has recently made its appearance atInco's Clarabelle open pit extension.The first unit of its kind in Canadianmining operations, it is self-propelledand comes equipped with a 400 h.p.,12-cylinder diesel engine.

The new drill boasts a 60-second,fully-mechanized steel change. Insteadof being a liability, a two-piece coupledsteel arrangement offers the benef its ofa shorter, more rugged tower, and a

tower-raising or lowering time of oneminute instead of one hour.

Because of its greater weight-to-cubic-dimension ratio, the DM-6 is better ableto withstand the stresses, strains andabuse of blasthole drilling service, Also,its 50-foot tower is built of heavy-gaugerectangular steel tubing that will transmitheavy torque without bending, twistingor deforming.

The engine and compressor housingare fully enclosed and supplied with

pressurized filtered air that preventsentry of dust and dirt from drilling andblasting operations.

The drill's main feature is its patented"pressure-balanced system" which auto-matically adjusts penetration rate torock hardness, thereby achieving theoptimum rate of penetration. As the bitpenetrates, it encounters formations ofvarying hardness. The "pressure-balanced system" automatically feedsat varying rates to compensate for thedifferent formations.

He's No. 01 In CanadaPort Colborne's John Ranger Gets ReadyFor Another Season Of Trials Competition

The front of John Ranger's motorbikecarries a round plate, marked "No. 1".This signifies that he is No. 1 in all ofCanada when it comes to motorcycletrials competition. In fact, John has beenNo. 1 since 1972 when, at the age of21, he took first prize honors inCanadian trials competition.

John takes part in some 25 to 30events each year, which are held fromcoast to coast. In 1973 and 1974, hecompeted in the Invitational Trials deEspana, held in Los Angeles for theworld championship. His best finish wasin 1973, when he placed fourth against70 of the world's best riders.

John first discovered Trials whileriding his home-made minibike on acourse set up behind the Robin HoodFlour Mills in Port Colborne, back in 1968The bike had been made for him by hisdad from an old bicycle frame andpowered by the engine borrowed from

I

the family lawn mower. From then on,John took part in all types of motor-cycle events, but decided to concentratehis efforts and polish his natural skillsin Trials competition.

Contrary to motorcycle racing inwhich the winner is the fellow who getsfrom starting point to finish line in thefastest time, speed is not a factor inTrials competitions. Here competitorsare judged by their skills in negotiatingdifficult terrain.

John works at the R & Y Tool and DieCompany in Welland. His dad, Hector,is a machinist in the mechanical depart-ment at the Port Colbome nickel refineryand has been with Inco since 1948."At first I used to tune the bikes for thecompetitions, but now John does itpractically all by himself," said Hector,"but the 'old master' is still availableon request."

An avid motorcycle fan since 1968, John is surrounded by some ofthe trophies he has won throughout the past years. He'll probablyadd a few more this season.

Just as a point of interest May 1-7 isChild Safety Week, sponsored by the Can-ada Safety Council to impress on adults theneed to educate our youngsters in matters ofsafety and accident prevention. With winterbehind us, children are spending more hoursout-of-doors, indulging in their favouritesummertime recreational activities; un-fortunately in the fun and excitement of bi-cycles, swing sets, baseball bats and back-yard pools, there are often unguardedmoments that can result in accidents that aredestructive to the limbs and lives of our chil-dren. A special study of such accidents bythe Department of Consumer and CorporateAffairs, suggests that such accidents arecaused by children, rather than by faultyequipment. In other words, accidents aremore frequently caused by improper usethan by product failure. It's up to us, then, asadults, to supervise and educate our children

to train them at a very early age to besafety conscious at all times. Child SafetyWeek. Make it a 52-week-a-year affair!
