Ontario Passes Legislation To Support First Responders With Ptsd

Pictured L-R: Shane Bukowski, Sam Rowe, Dr. Kirby, Gigi Dumont, Kadean Ogilvie-Pinter, Louise Needham and Anita Kraly.

The LDHC Oncology Unit would like to give a warm thank you to the Wawa Emergency Service’s for their generous donation.

The money raised from the Charity Hockey Game will be used to support oncology patients in our community.

We will be putting together “Chemo Comfort Kits” for

new oncology patients dealing with the difficult diagnosis of cancer and facing chemotherapy. Our Comfort Kits will be packed with high quality comfort items that are most needed by patients undergoing treatment: a journal, soothing tea, moisturizer, lip balm, soft tooth brush, warm hand crocheted hat,

and much more. Our goal of the kit is to make life a little easier and more comfortable for our patient’s undergoing treatment. So again I would like to thank everyone involved for making these Comfort Kits possible.

Ontario is providing $20 million in 2016-17 to municipalities across the province through the Connecting Links program to make roads and bridges safer, create economic growth, and create or sustain jobs.

Premier Kathleen Wynne announced this funding in Barrie today with Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca. The City of Barrie will receive $675,000 to rehabilitate part of its connecting link on Highway 26 -- a one-kilometre section of Bayfield Street from Livingstone Street to the city limit.

Connecting links are municipal roads or bridges that connect two ends of a provincial highway through a community, or to a border crossing. The province is providing $20 million to 23 municipalities to repair these connecting links. Funding for the Connecting Links Program will increase to $25 million in 2017-18 and $30 million in 2018-19.

Ontario is making the largest investment in public infrastructure in the province's history -- about $160 billion

over 12 years for projects such as roads, bridges, transit systems, schools and hospitals.

This investment is supporting 110,000 jobs every year across the province. In 2015, the government announced support for more than 325 projects that will keep people and goods moving, connect communities and improve quality of life.

Investing in infrastructure is part of the government's economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs.

The four-part plan includes investing in talent and skills, including helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education. The plan is making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario's history and investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses.

The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.

QUICK FACTS • There are about 350 kilo-

metres of roads and 70 bridges along connecting links in 77 municipalities across Ontario.

The Connecting Links program was launched last November, and applications were received early this year. Successful applicants will receive funding starting this spring.

Connecting Links funding covers up to 90 percent of eligible project costs, to a maximum of $3 million.

The eligible costs are for the design, construction, renewal, rehabilitation and replacement of connecting link infrastructure.

A recent report by the Broadbent Institute and the Centre for Spatial Economics found that, on average, investing $1 in public infrastructure in Canada raises GDP by $1.43 in the short term and up to $3.83 in the long term.

Ontario passed legislation that will create a presumption that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosed in first responders is work-related.

Under the Supporting Ontario's First Responders Act, the presumption allows for faster access to WSIB benefits, resources and timely treatment. Once a first responder is diagnosed with PTSD by either a psychiatrist or a psychologist, the claims process to be eligible for WSIB benefits will be expedited, without the need to prove a causal link between PTSD and a workplace event.

The presumption applies to police officers, firefighters, paramedics, certain workers in correctional institutions and secure youth justice facilities, dispatchers of police, firefighter and ambulance services, and emergency response teams.

The act also allows the Minister of Labour to request

and publish PTSD prevention plans from employers of workers who are covered by the presumption.

This act is part of the province's strategy to prevent or mitigate the risk of PTSD and provide first responders with faster access to treatment and the information they need to stay healthy.

QUICK FACTS • Evidence shows that first responders are at least twice as likely compared to the general population to suffer from PTSD, due to the risk of frequent exposure to traumatic stressors.

• The legislation applies to more than 73,000 first responders in Ontario.

• On March 5, 2015, Ontario hosted the Summit on Work Related Traumatic Mental Stress.

The province’s strategy builds on the dialogue and feedback from the Summit.

NUTS ‘N’ BOLTS

Opinions, or observations from an old newsman - by Bob Avis

To Argue For Argument’s Sake!

An argument is good for what ails you. I’ve always enjoyed a good argument.

But you have to choose both your subject and your opponent carefully.

Now, I’m not talking about a knock-down, drag-out battle of verbiage that sees everyone going away mad. I’m talking about an intelligent matching of opinions that can present two sides (or more) of a reasonable difference of viewpoint with some clarity and purpose. The purpose is

not, of course, to change your opponent’s mind, but simply to point out the difference in perception between them.

There doesn’t need to be a winner or a loser. Just a willingness to keep an open mind and see the other side of the argument even if you do not agree.

The whole effect of a good argument is a kind of cleansing exercise like rinsing out your work socks in a tub of soapy water. Everything feels better.

Occasionally, things can become a little heated in a really good argument, as they should if you really believe in your subject, but as long as you remember it’s just your opinion, (you don’t have to be right, just convinced) you can stop anytime. Just keep in mind before you begin not to argue religion or politics and never, never discuss your opponent’s relatives. That’s a trick Donald Trump has not yet mastered.

I enjoyed arguments with my Dad years ago. He had as much to do with my argumentative talents as anyone.

He demonstrated the talent to me at an early age. I don’t mean he encouraged me to “talk back” to him. There were dire consequences for that sin. But he somehow

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

made it clear to me the difference between constructive argument and defiance.

By the time I was thirteen or fourteen we would often choose a subject to discuss and it would be the “game” of the evening. Whatever side of an opinion we had, one of us would choose the opposite side because that was the way it all worked.

I have to admit there were times when I got older and (I thought) wiser, that the heat of the battle made me walk away in disgust. He was a supreme master of the art of argument and usually outmaneuvered me, hence he often whittled me down to absolute frustration and I’d leave in a huff. But he knew I’d always be back tomorrow to take up another cause.

We spent a lot of happy hours in this manner. For the most past we learned something from it all. Mostly I learned, but I like to think that once in a long while he got something out of it all as well. I guess argument may be too strong a word to use.

There was rarely anything offensive about the whole exercise for us. It was more a matter of exploring each other’s minds. How we think and what we think. More an exercise in human relations.

I still enjoy a good argument. My wife calls it a debate. Could be. I debated it with her.

Hollingsworth Transmission Station (TS) Upgrade Project

A Portion of the Redpoll Flock

Notes From The Bird Lady Article & photos by Tammie Hache Manitouwadge, ON bthache@yahoo.ca Webcam: http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/38/ FeederWatch_Cam/ There are definitely signs of spring in the air, even if the weather doesn't particularly feel like it. Even though we've been caught again in the 'polar vortex' lately (up here, we've been stuck in lows of -20s C and highs of near -10 C), it's not stopping the birds from getting ready for nesting season. The Ravens and Crows have been working steadily on their nests.

Egg laying is not too far off.

In fact, they've all been coming to the yard and loading up on peanuts lately. The folks at Cornell Lab of Ornithology, owners of the webcam in my yard, caught a neat little video clip this week of 2 Crows playing what looked like a game of 'tag' through the trees in my backyard. You can watch the 20 second video here: http:// tinyurl.com/hb6xkta. Blue Jays have been showing courtship behaviour for quite some time now. They are making calls in my backyard that I have never heard before; it's pretty incredible what they can do vocally.

Crow

Common Raven

The Gray Jays disappeared a few weeks ago and are now actively nesting. I sure hope this (last) blast of cold weather doesn't hurt them. The Ruffed Grouse have paired up and are now coming to the feeder by twos in the evening.

Things are still pretty much the same in my yard except for

that was going through my yard last week. Turns out it was not a Sharp-Shinned Hawk after all: it was a Merlin, a type of small Falcon. I believe this was a first for my yard, that I know of anyway. I saw it twice and have not seen it again in the past week.

In the fear of sounding like a broken record, Redpolls are still here in huge numbers. This may be the highest number of them I've had in a my yard, period! As you can see in the photo,

Great Lakes Power Transmission LP (GLPT LP) is planning the above noted project from July 2016 to December 2016 to be carried out at the Hollingsworth TS located in the Township of Maness, Ontario as shown in Figure 1.

The scope of this project is to upgrade the Hollingsworth TS. The main component of the project will include: • Upgrading the existing secondary oil containment system around the primary power transformer (T1) The undertaken project relates only to the upgrade of the Hollingsworth TS and does not include a change to any Transmission Figure 1: Hollingsworth TS Circuit or Electrical Generating Facility.

The upgrade is necessary to address the current condition of the equipment.

These modifications/refurbishments, which will all occur within the existing boundaries of the Site, are necessary to ensure the continuation of safe and reliable electrical service. This work will enhance GLPT LP’s commitment to public safety, reliable operation, and environmental protection.

Magpie Transmission Station (TS) Upgrade Project April 6th, 2016 - 2 Grouse the arrival of one lonely Purple Finch. I've seen him a couple of times now but the high number of Redpolls at the feeders keeps putting him off. It won't be long before his relatives show up. I thought I would have seen Juncos and a few Sparrows by now but migration seems to be just a little on the slower side.

I suspect that when a warmup does hit, hopefully soon!, that migrants will show up in good numbers.

I am hearing reports throughout the Thunder Bay region about the arrival of Geese, Ducks, Northern Harriers, Robins, Fox Sparrows, etc, it's just a matter of time for here.

I caught another glimpse (and some bad photos) of the predator bird

they are eating VERY well! It appears that the Pine Grosbeaks have already begun their migration. Their numbers in my yard have now dropped dramatically, to the point where I've only seen 2 this week. Evening Grosbeaks are around, I hear them calling almost constantly, but I only ever see about a half dozen at the feeders. Better than nothing, I guess.

Project FeederWatch has officially ended on April 9th and that means the webcam in my yard will be shutting down for the season as well. The webcam will close on Sunday, April 24th but there are still many other webcams linked to on that page including a Condor nest in California, Albatrosses in Hawaii, Cornell's own webcams (a Red Tailed Hawk nest plus Cornell's own feeders) in Ithaca, New York, a Great Horned Owl nest in Savannah, Georgia, a Barn Owl nest in Texas and a Barred Owl nest in Indiana.

There will also be an Osprey nest cam coming online soon.

Feel free to send my your feedback and tell me about your sightings.

Until next week, thanks for reading!

Great Lakes Power Transmission LP (GLPT LP) is planning the above noted project from August 2016 to December 2016 to be carried out at the Magpie TS located in the Township of Lendrum, within the Municipality of Wawa, Ontario as shown in Figure 1.

GLPT LP, supported by its engineering consultant, GHD Limited, has commenced a voluntary environmental screening of the proposed transmission station upgrade. The environmental screening will be conducted in general accordance with Ontario Regulation 116/01, made under the Environmental Assessment Act, and the Screening Process of the “Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities” (Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, Figure 1: Magpie TS December 2013).

The scope of this project is to upgrade the Magpie TS. The main component of the project will include: • Replacement of 12 existing oil-filled current transformers with new Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) insulated transformers The undertaken project relates only to the upgrade of the Magpie TS and does not include a change to any Transmission Circuit or Electrical Generating Facility.

The upgrade is necessary to address the current condition of the equipment.

These modifications/refurbishments, which will all occur within the existing boundaries of the Site, are necessary to ensure the continuation of safe and reliable electrical service. This work will enhance GLPT LP’s commitment to public safety, reliable operation, and environmental protection.

Article & Photo by Karin Grundt Shortly before Christmas I received a 'help' call from Silvana; "I bought this beautiful blouse and the seams ripped in the back." It sounded like a simple repair job and I asked her to bring it over so I could see what was involved.

In my imagination I saw only a few stitches on a seam torn -- no problem. But when I saw the blouse, it was a big one, a problem I could not fix.

I have to describe the design and style so that you, the reader, gets a picture of this beautiful garment. Not only was it very expensive, but also a dream; powder blue, pure silk chiffon, a simple but elegant cut, long sheer sleeves. No wonder it was Silvana's favourite blouse.

And here is the problem, the bodice was lined with the same powder blue tone in a stretch knit fabric and it had three vertical curved, serged seams in the back. So, every time she reached out for something, there was stress on those seams in that delicate silk, and since the stretchy material "gave"... you get the picture.

If I had to resew each seam it would have made the blouse even tighter, and therefor would rip and fray again. I told Silvana I would try to find a solution; but deep down in my mind I knew that nothing could be done. It was just a bad design.

I don't know why I kept the blouse -- waiting for a brilliant idea? It did not happen. As I examined this pretty top from the inside and touched the precious silk, I though what a shame -- stupid designer, and the label "made in China" compounded my helplessness. But under the 'China' level was the name and full address of a German company, and the town was Gütersloh!

That hit me! I have lived after the war in that (then) little town in Westfalia, went to school there, learned my trade and earned my trade certificate as dressmaker -- now it became personal!

I sat down that same evening and wrote a letter to the management of that company (will not mention the name) but it is a famous and expensive label.

I introduced myself, all in fine German and explained why this garment malfunctioned and how it would work better: by cutting the back on a bias, eliminate the serged seams or use french seams and NEVER use knit fabric under a pure silk chiffon.

In my book, I would fire the

designer who had not the basic knowledge of the trade. I signed off as a former "Gütersloherin" and asked them to stand behind their product and reimburse my friend for this garment, since I still believe in the value of German workmanship and quality.

The next day, I purchased a bubble pack envelop, got a copy of my trade certificate, folded up the precious expensive blouse and shipped it out.

Sylvana inquired a few days later if I found a magic solution to her flawed blouse, and I told her it was on the way to the company in Germany, and I explained why.

This top was designed in my childhood town and it hit a feeling in me of standing up for what is right. A long pause on Silavana's end, but I assured her if nothing comes out of it, I would repay her blouse. When she told me what she paid for it, I had to swallow hard -- but a word is a word, and I stand up to what I believe in. So there! (I don't' think I would have felt the same if this blouse had come from Timbuktu).

Four weeks later, with no reply from the company, I phoned my girlfriend in Gütersloh to give me a telephone number of this company, since that was missing on the label, and I am not connected by computer. She laughed and said that one of her tenants used to work there and gave me the number.

At the end of January I called, considering the six hours ahead of our time, and asked to connect me with Reklamation (complaint department). A nice ladies voice answered. I introduced myself, calling from Canada... she interrupted and said, "Ja, the blouse, we received it and forwarded everything to management and the importer... by the way, he is right now in Düsseldorf at the tradeshow. You will surely hear from him", and then we got into a friendly chit-chat for at least ten minutes. She had a lot of questions, "how long ago, and why I left Germany, family? weather? climate? area?"

She commended me on my still flawless German, until I changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about the reason I called. That design was a flop and I would fire (or gentler: change) the designer, since he or she had no professional background or knowledge about the subject." "Ja", she said, "Today things are different," and a long

explanation sounding more like an excuse followed. When it was my turn again I said, "All nice and dandy, but certain rules of physical law will never change -water does not flow up a hill and not all designs can be translated into reality, asked an architect."

We ended the conversation on a friendly tone, and I informed Silvana about the call. She laughed and admitted, "At first I was peeved with you -- but then I understood your passion and give you credit for your tenacity.

Let's see what comes of it."

For the next two weeks I waited eagerly for something to arrive in my post office box.

Nothing. The importer was probably sitting on the blouse or had a bad case of jet lag. I called again and talked to the same lady. This time it was like long, lost old friends, "O ja" she said, "You have not heard from the importer? I will give you his phone number in Montreal and you can check with him directly.

His name is Ronny X", and after that followed again a long, personal conversation -- just like I said; old friends.

I called Ronny right away and could only get his answering machine (busy man), but I left my name, telephone number and message and asked to be contacted as soon as possible. Not one hour later a lady called and introduced herself as Lori, and that it was her department to look after complaints.

She assured me that they sold many tops like this and never had any complaints. "Yes, things happen," and almost as an afterthought added it is better or a good idea to send flawed products to the manufacturer, it has a bigger impact than if we as importers complain." I agreed with her and gave her my background and opinion about the incompetent designer. She said, "You're right. If you lived closer to Montreal, I would hire you as my personal dressmaker". A little too late and too far, I thought.

She asked where the item was purchased, and at this time it would be best if she dealt with Silvana directly. She gave me an 800 number and I contacted Silvana with that information.

The latest and good news that I heard from Silvana is that she will get a few refund, and she can choose something from the latest spring collection.

The OPP continues to target those who put the wellbeing of others at risk by operating motor vehicles in violation of provincial and federal legislation.

“Every motorist has to do their part to ensure a safe arrival by obeying all the rules of the road to prevent any tragedies”, says Inspector Yves Forget of the East Algoma Detachment.

It’s An Ill Wind…

“For ‘tis sport to have the engineer. Hoist with his own petar…”

- Hamlet, Act III, Scene 4 Ah, yes.

One of Shakespeare’s most repeated phrases. We all know what ‘hoisted by his own petard’ means.

It’s means to have something backfire, blow up in one’s face. That’s apt. A ‘petard’ was a medieval land mine employed by soldiers to blow up gates and fortifications. It comes from -- and there’s no genteel way of saying this – the French word for fart.

Which brings us to a famous French artist who, in the early twentieth century, was a sensation in Paris. King Leopold of Belgium was a fan, as were Edward, Prince of Wales and Sigmund Freud.

His name was Joseph Pujol but his stage name, was Le Petomane, which translates as – again, euphemisms fail me – The Fartiste.

Monsieur Pujol’s musical instrument was located below decks and well to the aft, if you get my drift. He carried it with him constantly (as do we all). The difference between Monsieur Pujol and the rest of us: he could play his instrument.

Like a flute. Literally. As part of his performance Le Petomane would um, attach himself, via a flexible tube, to an ocarina, a rather simple wind instrument. He would then favour the audience with a variety of popular tunes,

including, patriotically, La Marseillaise.

All of this was delivered in a performance of exquisite taste. Nothing crude about Le Petomane. He performed in a red cape and a tuxedo elegantly set off by an ivorycoloured cravat and white gloves. Any adjustments that had to be made (tubes, etc.) were done off stage, behind the curtains.

In addition to musical numbers Le Petomane could produce the timid toot of a young adolescent girl and follow it with the thundering blast of a peasant farmer after a hearty dinner of feves au lard. He could replicate cannon fire and thunderstorms.

He could blow out candles and deliver a ‘farm tour’ – a running agricultural commentary punctuated by anal renditions of every animal in the barnyard from sonorous cows through bleating sheep to clucking chickens.

His piece de resistance: a blistering ten second glissando described as “the sound of a dressmaker ripping two metres of calico cloth”.

Monsieur Pujol’s artistry made him a rich man. He owned a chateau, complete with servants. He had ten children and died happy and wealthy at the age of 88.

If there was any justice, Le Petomane’s tombstone would bear the title of a Shakespeare play: All’s well that ends well.

Or perhaps from King Lear: Blow winds, and crack your cheeks.

COUNCIL NEWS

by Barb Fisher

Council approved the requisition for a framed Wawa Goose print to be presented to Jayne Griffith in accordance with Policy PR-001.

The resignation of Bob McCoy from the Community Well-Being Fund Committee effective March 3, 2016 was accepted by Council.

Dates and hours of the Regular Council meetings were confirmed for the months March through June 2016 as the first Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m.

Our seniors have contributed and continue to contribute immensely to the life and vibrancy of this community.

Seniors serve as leaders, mentors, volunteers, are important and active members of this community, and their knowledge and experience passed on to us continues to benefit all. Council proclaimed the month of June 2016 as "Seniors Month" and encourages all citizen to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our seniors in the community of Wawa.

The Wawa Transit System's Fare of Fees for persons aged 60 years or older during the month of June 2016 was waived

by Council in recognition and celebration of Seniors' Month.

Council appointed the following members to sit on the Municipality of Wawa Energy Plan Implementation Committee for the term of Council ending November 30, 2018 in accordance with Bylaw 2938-16: Mayor Ron Rody, Maury O'Neill, Jody Tate, Jim McHardy, Mike Abbott, Russell Reid and Andy Stevens.

The addition of the Wawa Municipal Landfill Site as an asset to the Wawa Asset Management Plan was approved

by Council.

Council approved the installation of a new fire hydrant on Mission Road, two new water services on Mission Road and one new water service on Government Road. These projects are to be funded by individual property owners paying for the water services added to their property assessment as one payment, or through a shortterm loan with interest, and apply a local road improvement charge to the property owners who will benefit from the new fire hydrant.

The list of accounts for the month of March in the total amount of $1,039,195.64 was approved for payment.

The insurance program for the Municipality expired March 6 and proposals were received from two companies that provide municipal liability insurance. A quotation was received from Frank Cowan Company for a cost savings of approximately 6.13% over the previous year from the current insurance provider with the same services, limits, deductibles and value-added services. Council awarded the 2016 Municipal Insurance Program renewal to Frank Cowan Company in Partnership with Dawson &

Keenan Insurance Ltd in the amount of $114,877 excluding taxes payable, and that notification be given to BFL Canada to cancel the current insurance program.

Council approved a funding application to the Northern Investment Readiness Program (NCIR) to assist in the costs of developing a Wawa and White River Housing Need and Demand Study. The NCIR funding support will greatly assist the two communities to determine the current housing situation in the towns, determine current vacancies, stock and housing inventory for future housing demand forecasted as a result of the expansion of the forestry and mining sectors in the region, particularly the anticipated start-up of Prodigy Gold Mine, continued success of Rentech (Wawa) and White River Forestry, and potential mining developments in the region including Red Pine Gold operations in Wawa, and both Wesdome and Richmont Mines expansion of operations in 2016/17. To this program the Municipality will contribute $3,334 towards the cost of developing the Wawa and White River Housing Need and Demand Study.

In the recent Municipality's participation in Canada's plan for the safe, long-term management of used nuclear fuel through the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) as part of the site selection process, the NWMO provided the Municipality with $400,000 to establish a Community Well-being Reserve Fund as an acknowledgement for its contribution in Phase 1 site selection process for the hosting of Canada's used nuclear fuel management facilities and Centre of Expertise. The NWMO suggested that the following criteria might be considered in disbursing the funds: Projects, programs, services or scholarship supporting community sustainability, youth, seniors, economic development or energy efficiency. Council has established a Community Well-Being Committee who is providing input to Council on the method and procedure for disbursing the funds.

In researching where this Community Well-being Fund would be best applied, it has been identified that there is a seniors housing crisis in Wawa and area which has prompted the Municipality to partner with several organizations including the Wawa EDC, Township of White River and the Algoma DSSAB to review the facts surrounding the crisis, gather data and make recommendations as to potential solutions. One solution would be the design and construction of a seniors residence which would require initial funding for the capital planning and construction of which presently no funding has been identified. The use of the Community Well-Being Funds as outlined above for the purposes of a seniors residence

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

has been supported by four of the six criteria adopted by Council. It was resolved that the Municipality of Wawa take the following actions: 1. Sequester and leave invested the principal of $400,000 provided by NWMO until such time as the direction of the stated seniors residence is known with the understanding that all, or a portion of the $400,000 may be used for the necessary initial funding for the seniors residence.

2. Require a staff report and additional Council discussion if it is determined that all or a portion of the $400,000 is required for the subject seniors residence.

3. Allow the Community Well-Being Committee to continue and provide recommendations on disbursing the annual interest or returns on the principal $400,000 once the criteria has been provided and accepted

by Council.

Bylaws given three readings and passed: - 2936-16 - to confirm the proceedings of Council at its meetings March 23 and April 5, 2016.

things are getting warmer in the next week and when real spring arrives we can change our tires, our clothes, and our life. life will be easier for our Seniors and those who could not enjoy the outdoors in the winter.

This last weekend we remembered a major Canadian event. The Vimy Ridge battle in WW1 and locally the students of Mr. Taillefer's class at Ecole St. Joseph made a small scale maquette of the Vimy Ridge battle field complete with trenches, Barbed wire, Craters and casualties.

It was nice to see how hard they worked and researched this event and learned a lot about Canada's history.

We have to say thank you to James Laing of Algoma Power for his help with fixing our flag pole on top of the Branch.

On SooToday.com there was an article about the WW2 experience of our friend and Comrade Harold Soderlund who was shot down in 1944 and had to experience the life

as a POW but survived and returned to Canada.all of us in Wawa have him in our thoughts at Branch 429.

In Holland they were remembering the crossing of the Canadian Army on April 12th from Emmerich over the Ijssel River and Liberating Doesburg and other towns en route to Arnhem.

Our lady darters did well last Wednesday and team 1 took 6 games, 2-6, 3-4, 4-4, 5-4 and team 6 took 6 games.

High ton was Roberta D with 140 and Jenny W. had the high finish with 62 cribbage was back at regulars and they all had a good time. here's another thought for our students about exams.

Look up for inspiration.

Look down for Concentration.

Look left and right for ...information!

To all our Comrades sick at home, in the hospital or nursing homes you are in our thoughts and prayers and we wish you well.

With Jim White

An Incident While Canvassing It is April, 2016, and it is the time of year when I knock on doors, doing my canvassing for the local branch of the Canadian Cancer Society. I have my regular route that my captain has assigned to me. Since my captain is also my brother, and the Secretary on the executive of the local branch I don't have much choice. At least he has given me a route that is nearby, so I can walk from home. I know most of the neighbours along the way too, so it gives me a great chance to have a chat and get caught up on the gossip.

Most of them have lived in this neighbourhood for many years.

There is one house, though, that has new occupants. It is 3 blocks up the street from me. It was formerly owned by a long time resident, Mr. Roger Preston and his wife Marjie.

Unfortunately he passed away last fall, and she didn't need such a big house for just herself.

So she moved into a seniors apartment out near the hospital.

That was in November.

I was surprised to see the house occupied just after Christmas. It was a young couple in their late twenties, with two small children. I learned from my neighbour friend, John Vanderbush, that their names were Henri and Helene Bilodeau. The kids names were Marco and Madeleine. He was about seven, and she was five, I guess. Apparently he was a former biker from a notorious club in Montreal, and had moved here in the witness protection program. John told me that Marjie had confided to his wife Rita, who in turn told him, that she had rented the house out to the RCMP. It is supposed to be confidential, but poor Marjie is such a blabbermouth.

She just can't keep a secret to save her soul, he stated. It's true too. I know. But that's another story for another day.

He had gotten out of the gang, and snitched to the cops. They had moved him up here to the Soo from Montreal, to keep him out of sight until he was needed as a witness at the trial that would ensue after they arrested the gang leaders. The undercover cops were still setting up the sting, so it would be a while before he would be needed to testify. John told me that he saw them as they moved a cube van full of furniture into the house.

To him, it looked like pretty ratty stuff. They had an old blue and white Ford Thunderbird coupe that was in pretty bad shape. John was sure that it was an early sixties model. He was an old car buff, and he drooled over that Thunderbird, commenting on how he would love to get his hands on it, and fix it up. He also drooled when Henri unloaded a huge 'hog' of a Harley off a trailer a couple of days later. It was obviously his biker bike.

John and I went over to introduce ourselves, and welcome them to the neighbourhood, (and okay just being nosy) a few days after they moved in.

Henri came to the door, and

opened it just a crack, obviously wary of who was at his door.

We told him our names, and where we lived, just to break the ice. It wasn't until John commented on his car and bike that he warmed up. He went back inside and grabbed a coat, and came back out. He gave us a 'tour' of the car first, parked in the driveway. John explained about being into restoration projects, and detailed what he would do to this car, if he had a chance. That sure broke the ice with Henri. Then we went into the garage. That was when he had a chance to brag about his bike, clearly his pride and joy. It was in pristine condition. We oohed and aahed over it.

He invited us into the house for a beer. We sat at an old kitchen table, right out of the fifties. John and Henri soon took over the conversation.

Shortly Helene came in the back door with the two kids. She said hi, and explained that she had just been to the park with them. I offered to help get the kids out of their snowsuits. She let me do that, while she took off her coat and boots. She told me that she was going to make some hot chocolate for the kids, and did I want one too.

I told her no, that I was having a beer. She said okay, and then took the kids into the living room. I turned my attention back to the conversation at the kitchen table. I had no comments to make, as I wasn't into cars and bikes. Finally the subject got changed to what Henri and his family were doing here.

Of course we didn't bring up the 'secret; and just let him tell his rehearsed story. By the time we left we both felt they seemed like a nice family. We had other visits over the next while, and we got to know them even better.

I knocked on their door this particular evening, April 11th to be exact, for my canvassing.

I was sure they would not be donating anything, but that was the rule to knock on every door.

I immediately sensed something was wrong. As I was waiting for the door to open, I looked back to the street, and took note of a black beat up old half ton truck parked in front of the house.

On the aerial was a flag of some kind. I couldn't make it all out, as it was drooping down. But I thought part of it looked like a helmet that motor cyclists wore.

Just then I was interrupted when a big burly man came to the door, and opened it just a crack.

He seemed nervous. He just grunted a 'what'. I asked him if I could speak to Henri or Helene.

He glared at me through the crack, and mumbled, “Uh, they are out right now.” I pressed on, sensing trouble. “When will they be back? I need to talk to them asap.” He hesitated, as if unsure what to say next to make me go away.

“Umm, they've gone away for a few days. Not sure when they'll be back.” Before I could ask anything else, he slammed the door shut in my face.

I stood there for a moment,

wondering what to do. I decided to check out the garage. I peeked in the side window, and sure enough the car and bike were both there.

I debated whether to run over to John's place, which was three doors down on the opposite side of the street. From where I was standing, it looked like he was not home. So I decided to check it out myself.

I climbed up onto the stoop and peeked in the kitchen window.

I immediately ducked down, as I saw a tall man at the stove. I counted to five before poking my head up again. There was no sign of him. I could then see he had a pot of water on the stove. On the counter beside it was what looked like a tire iron.

Just then he came back into the kitchen. He picked up the iron, and placed the tip of it into the boiling water.

Of course, my first thought was that he was going to use that to torture Henri or maybe Helene and the kids too. These two thugs were likely from that Montreal biker gang. I only gave a fleeting thought about how they had tracked them here. I just guessed they wanted to find out how much he had told the cops about their operations.

I was in a dilemma. What should I do? I knew that I should go next door and get someone to call the cops. But that would take too much time. I sensed an urgency that required action right away. My adrenaline kicked in, and I made my move, not really thinking, or having a plan. I scampered back to the garage, and went inside. I was looking for a weapon. All I could find at first look was a shovel – too big and cumbersome. I frantically looked around for something else. As I laid my canvassing kit on the work bench, I noticed a can of black spray paint. My first thought was that it would work to spray in one of guys' faces.

The only other item that I could quickly lay my hands on was the broom beside the door. So I grabbed it, and stuck the can of paint in my jacket pocket. I was ready for action.

Thinking about it now, I marvel at both my stupidity and cockiness. I have been watching way too much TV – thinking I could just barge in, knock out the bad guys, and rescue the victims. Well, it sort of worked out that way. Let me explain.

I returned to the back door to peek in. I was just in time to see the tall man disappear out of the kitchen with that tire iron in his right hand. He was wearing an oven mitt so as not to burn his hand, I noticed. There was no sign of the burly man who answered the door before. He's likely interrogating them I surmised.

I took a deep breath, before trying the door. I hoped that it was unlocked. To my relief it was. So I quietly turned the knob, and opened it. I got inside and shut the door behind me. I stopped to listen for any sounds, and to get my bearings. I jumped when the oil furnace kicked in. I almost swore out loud, startled at the sound.

Thanks to that, I could not hear any other noises as I headed towards the living room to start with. I poked my head in, and saw that no one was there. I quickly scanned the room. My

attention fell on the coffee table.

Their phone was there. I had enough sense to call 911, before I went any further with my crazy scheme. I had just hung up when I heard the first scream. It was Helene. Then I heard Henri calling out, “No, leave her alone.

I'll tell you everything.”

I then realized they were being held down in the basement. I headed over to the door.

My first impulse was to fling it open and rush down the stairs to 'rescue' them. I had my hand on the knob when I stopped.

My second thought was to draw them upstairs to me, instead of me walking into them. I just hoped the police would get here quickly enough to capture them before I got into trouble myself. I knew that I couldn't hold them off for long.

So before thinking it through too much, I opened the door, and yelled down: “Police. Come up with your hands in the air. The house is surrounded.

You can't get away. Surrender peacefully, and it will go well for you.” I realized how silly that sounded, like it would be only something you say on TV or in the movies. But it got a reaction – a bullet whizzed by my right ear as the pistol was fired up at me. I recoiled, and backed away into the kitchen. I heard one set of footsteps coming up. I fumbled for the paint can in my pocket, got it out into my left hand, shaking it to get it primed, and finding the trigger.

I leaned against the side of the stove, ready to spray the first guy's face. In my right hand I held the broom handle, hoping to be able to knock the wind out of the second guy with a thrust of it into his stomach, or across his face, if I had a chance.

It sounded like a good idea.

Unfortunately for me, it didn't go according to plan. The tall guy burst through first, and faced me. I pressed the trigger, and nothing happened. I realized then that it was likely frozen, after sitting out in the garage through all of this cold.

I dropped it to the ground, and grabbed the broom handle in both hands, swinging it like a lance. I missed him. Then my eyes zeroed in on the pistol in his hand, and watched, as if hypnotized, as he slowly pulled the trigger. I snapped out of it, and stepped sideways towards the kitchen table, just as the pistol went off. In that instant, I felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder. I knew I had been hit. I grabbed onto one of the chairs, lost my balance, and fell to the floor, with the chair on top of me. The pain was intense, and I could feel myself going into shock. The two of them leaned over me, glaring with such a cold blooded look. It scared me. The big burly guy bent over me, and yanked me to my feet.

“Get him down to the basement. We'll finish him off there.

I just want to check to see if anyone outside might of heard the shot. Damn these nosy guys who want to be heroes. When will they ever learn to stay out of our way!” The tall guy got behind my back, and pushed me towards the basement door.

I tried to resist, but the pain in my bleeding shoulder had taken over. Just at the top of the stairs, I had a quick look down into the dimly lit basement. The steps were steep and rickety looking.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

There was no railing. Just to my left, I saw Helene tied up to a chair, with a terrified look, peering up at me. I suspected the others were in the same predicament. I was just about to take my first step down when I felt the broom handle hit me in the back of the head. I began tumbling down the stairs. I vaguely remember rolling and bouncing down until I hit the cold cement floor. I blacked out.

The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital. My wife, Laura, was by my side. John and Henri were also there. I got a great big kiss from Laura, a calling down from John for being so stupid, and finally Henri thanking me for saving him and his family's lives.

He went on to explain that the police arrived just after I had tumbled down the stairs. There was a shootout, and those two thugs were both killed in the kitchen. I was right, they were wanting to know how much he had told the cops. I was so sedated that I just lay there, listening to the words, and then began to nod off. I just about fell totally asleep when I jerked awake with a start. I cried out, “Where is my canvassing kit?

I've got $125 collected. I can't lose that. I gotta finish my route tonight. Oh, my, what will I tell my brother if I have lost that book and money?”

Laura just smiled and chuckled. “Leave it to you to think of that! It is okay. I have the kit at home. He will see you tomorrow. You have a battered body, to say the least. I think he will understand why you can't finish your route. Now just go back to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow.”

I felt myself calming down – she always had that effect on me. The last thing I remember was Henri calling out: “Hero.

Thanks again....”

It is now Wednesday, April 13th, and I am reading all about my 'heroics' in the paper. The headline reads: 'Jerry Witt Saves 4 Lives'. Talk about getting the facts wrong, and exaggerating the story, just to sell more papers! As for me, all I can think of is how foolhardy I was to get involved in this whole thing. I know I should have gone for help instead. But I just knew they were in trouble and I had to do something. Anyway, it worked out okay, and now I have a new set of best friends for the moment. Henri handed me a cheque for $100 to add to my total amount that I had already collected. Too bad they have to be moved to a new safe house.

(There is also a big investigation of how the supposed safe house was discovered. Heads will roll I expect. I just hope Marjie won't get into trouble.)

As great as that donation was, my greatest delight was that I helped save these 4 lives from being murdered. The worst part of all of this has been all the fuss that everyone has made. My greatest fear is that Laura and John find out how close I came to being killed myself. If the cops hadn't showed up exactly when they did, I wouldn't be here, telling this story. Timing is everything, isn't it! And so as well, you just never know what can happen while canvassing!...

Jerry Witt.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

Last Week's Answers

For the week of April 13th to April 19th, 2016 Is your birthday this week? You are artistic, articulate, accurate, and somewhat idealistic. Your imagination knows no bounds and may make you popular. Befriend others who are as thoughtful, winsome, sincere, and family-oriented as you are, to enjoy a beautiful, successful life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may feel bogged down by dreams and lofty ambitions. Try not to overreach or over-fantasize. If you ground yourself and bring yourself back down to earth then you could begin to truly work wonders. Others view you as being in charge and in control. It’s time to put plans into action. Try to apply for grants.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There are many who would support you this week, if you rise above the rest of the crowd and pursue your usual (or most unusual), humanitarian causes.

You are more popular and ingenious than you know. Expect the unexpected. There may be rebellion, eccentricity, ingénue or random acts of kindness. Ask for a massage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your uniqueness, kindness, ingénue, and originality are your real strengths now. There are many who would benefit from your radical new ideas and progressive ways. Rewards may follow at work. If you are able to read between the lines then you may understand intentions. It’s time to find new causes to rally behind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone may show their true intentions to you, which might help you to find important information you had been seeking before. Trying to deny your feelings when you have such strong desires and passions for someone or someplace in particular may not do anything to help you in the long term. Learn

to follow your heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There may be a secret that helps you to locate a lost item or a forgotten piece of valuable insight (or could assist in revealing an ingenious new piece of information).

You could come into a surprise financial windfall. Don’t be surprised if someone tells you exactly how they feel at some point over the next two weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s time to take a deep breath and plunge ahead. A lot can be accomplished via secret means.

You are a strikingly beautiful person and someone may finally tell you how often they have harboured feelings or desire for you. A surprising/ ingenious romantic idea may help you to cinch the deal. A joke may go too far.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Act naturally and something sensual, slow, and sweet may come your way. There may be a job that needs to be done this week that is not usually your task to perform. You have a heart unlike anyone else you know and this is one of your greatest assets. This is a time of renewal and new resolve. Embrace kindness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There are some who’d do nearly anything for you, including taking a risk or two when it really isn’t necessary for them to do so.

Realize how much you influence others. Take time for fun and games. Focus on what needs to be done lest you cause issues for yourself/ loved ones via neglect/ putting things off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is a good to start projects that have to do with your workplace or your home, however try to make sure that you don’t get too caught up with things that may not be to your family’s or workmate’s tastes. If you spend moments whittling time away with unnecessary work then you won’t get any chances to play.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You might be asked several strange questions by a sibling who wishes to know more about something you are both interested in. Popular culture may rule the weekend. Try to avoid appearing too eccentric to the point of alienating others. Be your charming, unique self-Just remain approachable/ relatable if doing so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There will be words spoken by someone you love, that makes you feel loved, lucky, valued, and alive. Expect an almost 180 degree turn where your morals or usual ideologies are concerned. Something unique could make you change many of your opinions and perhaps your feelings, too. It’s high-time for a change.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Others appear (on the surface at least) to emulate your ways.

You are seen as artistic, spiritual, empathic, psychic, naïve, and beautiful. Someone special and in a position of power, may find your fey, dreamy manners quite agreeable (and perhaps even, highly attractive). Expect compliments/ hugs.
