Wawa Economic Development’s AGM 2016 Article & photo by Joan Brooks There was an excellent turnout for the Wawa Economic Development Corporation’s April 6th Annual General Meeting. The meeting was held at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall.

This annual event was opened by EDC Chair Andy Stevens who called the meeting to order, called for approval of the agenda and reviewed and received approval for the minutes of the 2015 AGM. He then welcomed all those attending and thanked those members and employees for their hard work over the past year.

Mayor Ron Rody then offered opening remarks and took advantage of the opportunity to speak of his work and the efforts of the community to make a senior’s home possible.

“We will continue to move our community forward and make Wawa the friendly community we all call home.”

Stevens then introduced the guest speaker of the evening – Stephen Roberts, Managing Director of Canadian Operations Rentech. He lives and works in Thunder Bay and became responsible for Rentech Wawa in January 2012.

However, he was no stranger to Wawa having worked and lived in Wawa for three years when he was previously with Weyerhaeuser. “I have great memories of Wawa,” he said as he began his excellent presentation of the work being done throughout the USA and Canada. (More on this at a later date).

Roberts presentation was followed by Chair Stevens AGM report. “On behalf of Mayor Ron Rody, I would like to thank for your strong belief in the

future of Wawa and for being a strong advocate for seniors and supporter of the EDC. Also gratitude to the members of Council for their support.

The municipality faces many challenges including declining enrollment in the community and increased costs. Thanks for your guidance.”

Then EDC CEO Maury O’Neill, Emily Cormier – Wawa’s Energy Plan Coordinator and Jessie Labonte EDC Administrative Assistant gave their annual report using Power Point.

O’Neill began by thanking her Board and their more than 500 volunteer hours served over the past year. She touched on the EDC Success Drivers and their 2015 EDC Work Plan.

They accessed $175,000 funds for small business development and shared at length their work over the past year with LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). The EDC supported the Wawa BIA through replacement of the Wawa Goose Lights, supported events such as the Wawa Music Festival, Sno-Down and Winter Carnival, flowers and new benches and a Business Lunch and Learn. They also provide event support for 20 events – 500 plus attendees including the popular monthly 10 Things to do in Wawa.

The Wawa Energy Plan is one of three special projects undertaken by the EDC in 2015.

Emily Cormier stepped in and spoke to the project funding and partnerships over the past year and issued a call to action.

The Wawa Energy Plan aligns with Economic Development, Municipal and Provincial Plans plus $75,000 which remains in the community. This results in capacity building and report-

ing compliance. Over the past 15 months or 425 days there were 126 events and 3 surveys and 3 reports prepared.

This is important to note: The Wawa Energy Plan was developed by a local organization for local people. They also recently received notice that their Trillium fund application was approved for $220,000 over 25 months to coordinate local energy education and conservation initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Age Friendly Wawa Project was presented by Jessie Labonte. The Municipality hired the EDC to prepare a report. They received 196 responses to their Senior’s survey, 75 people attended the Senior’s Luncheon and are now doing a 2016 Senior’s Housing Study.

The 2015 Youth Training Program accessed a total of $160,000, trained 30 youth ready for the labor force.

Their 2016 Work Plan focus is on alignment with existing Plans including the EDC 2016 Plan, Wawa Strategic Plan, the Wawa Energy Plan, the BIA Work Plan and the Age Friendly Wawa Plan.

O’Neill closed her presentation by thanking her EDC Board of Directors, Municipal Council and staff, the Energy Committee, EDC Membership and the best staff ever, Emily Cormier and Jessie Labonte.

Next, Bill Chapman called for nominations for the 2016 Board of Directors. No further nominations came forward.

The 2016 Board of Directors were confirmed by motion and ballots were destroyed.

The 2015 AGM ended with a motion to adjourn.

Article & photo by Barb Fisher I always enjoy an invitation to celebrate our town's fantastic volunteers and last Tuesday, the spotlight was front and centre on the Lady Dunn Hospital Centre Auxiliary. Kadean O'Gilvie-Pinter, Director of Patient Care and Interim Co-Ceo welcomed and thanked everyone in their nevertiring quest to helping the LDHC in providing services that keep us healthy and happy in our town.

Mayor Rody was on hand to add to the accolades in presenting a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of Wawa's Town Council.

And then we helped ourselves to the goodies - a wonderfully decorated cake, adorned in gold leaf trim with a prominent gold "50" candle tribute. It was a shame to cut into it... but oh well.

The Auxiliary was established in 1966 when 67 members started it all, hence the 50th anniversay celebration this day. Today there are 26 members, keeping in mind that what our population has lost in numbers, our community has gained in enthusiasm. All ages were represented in the gathering, some starting out from grade and high school earning volunteer hours, with the experience fanning a feeling of pride in being able to make a difference in someone else's life. Cindy Maki, Auxiliary President accompanied me through the memorabilia, photo albums, and slide presentation set up for the group to reminisce on good times past. Cindy pointed

out the listing since 1967 of some of the clinical furnishings and equipment presented to the hospital to improve the quality of life to patients and clients, and the list was impressive indeed. Items provided by the Auxiary's fundraising efforts ranged from toasters and high chairs to hospital equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars which wouldn't have been attainable without the untiring hours dedicated by the Auxiliary team.

The Gift Shop operated by the members and located in the hospital lobby exhibits a wonderful display of one-of-a-kind items, some handcrafted by our own talented friends; something for everyone, defying the concept "my loved one has everything!" Fundraisers are ongoing throughout the year: bake tables, raffles, teas, donation promotions, and on special holidays, the Christmas bazaar and cookie sales are a big hit. The most recent cookie sale offered 36 trays full of unique and delicious treats, but only for a limited time - they disappeared in 20 minutes! The residents of the longterm care section in the hospital provide the volunteers a chance to explore their hidden talents in offering special treats - teas, musical get-togethers, craft afternoons, gift giving honouring special days, and long-distance telephone bills that mysteriously "go away."

I slid into a vacant chair beside Luella Campbell for a chat down memory lane as she holds the impressive title of longest-service status beginning her volunteer journey in 1980. Her bubbly personality and her obvious dedication to the Auxiliary was infectious and I came away in awe of what a truly remarkable volunteer family lives right here in Wawa. So everyone involved in this great service, give yourself a huge pat on the back; you are much loved.

Perhaps the tiger was a victim of circumstances. It may have been a cranky type to wake up and simply got carried away.

With Jim White

The Art Theft

Let me say up front – I am an art collector. I favour the masters, especially Monet. However, I prefer to collect mine by stealing from others. I don't even try to steal from art galleries anymore.

Over the last few years, most of them have become really tech savvy, and their security cameras, etc. are really sophisticated now.

It is too complicated for me to figure out how to disarm all the gadgets All it takes is one missed electronic device, and bingo, you will likely be caught before you leave the gallery, or later for sure.

That would be most unwelcome publicity for me, to say the least.

No, I prefer to hit the rich collector at home, where the security is much laxer. They make easy marks too, as they are eager to show off their latest acquisition.

They also all like to boast about that security, and will hand out good information to the likes of me.

Of course it takes some nurturing to gain that confidence most often. My plan of operation takes time, sometimes months or years even. But I am a patient man, as I will be seeing my latest prize often enough as I continue to visit them at their home or wherever they plan to display the painting.

Sometimes it will be at their office, but most often at their home, or mansion I should say.

Well, I just happened to read in the paper back in January, 2014 about a Monet painting being auctioned at Sotherby's in New York City. It went for $2.3 million dollars to a multi millionaire, Desond Montegue. He declared in an interview that it would look spectacular in the dining room of his new mansion that he had just had built out on Long Island.

Beside the article, there was a photo of 3 people. The caption underneath identified them as Montegue, his wife Zelda, and his 23-year old daughter Lisa.

This was the painting that I had been waiting to acquire for many years. It was titled 'La Promenade: Woman with a Parasol', painted in 1875. It had disappeared during the Nazi Occupation of France back during the Second World War. The article did not say how it came to be found after all these years. I was just glad that it had.

Now I had to come up with a plan to make it mine. I looked at the photo again. It was a bit grainy, but it was enough to show the beauty of the daughter. I knew this would be my 'in' to their household. I am 35 years old, but I don't think the age difference will matter, once I lay on my charm. I do keep fit, and many a time people have mistaken my age as being much younger that I really am.

This should work well in this case.

I went on the computer to research what I could find out about her. It took a while, but I found out that she was single, at least as of late last year. I also learned that she worked at her father's aircraft maintenance business as a financial controller.

This could be useful later on, by tapping into their business and hopefully their personal money matters. In particular, I was thinking that a security company would show up with invoices, which would give me a clue what I would

be facing at the mansion when the time came to relieve them of their painting, and transfer it to my 'mansion'. Hardly – it was a typical suburban 2 story vinyl sided house in Newark, New Jersey. It was my parents' house for many years. They have both passed away now, and I have stayed on.

I am single, but have several girl friends. I am not a recluse by any means. I go to the bars, movies, etc. I shop like everyone. I work out at the gym. I'm just an average Joe that blends in anywhere. As I was saying, it's ideal for me, as it is close to my job at a body shop.

There is a bus stop just a block away. I use it sometimes if I don't have to get downtown or into New York in a hurry. Otherwise I use my car, also just a nondescript Toyota Camry.

I knew that after I had stolen my prize, it would be necessary to stash it away in a safe location for awhile. But that was okay because I already have a collection of other paintings hidden in my basement in a sealed room behind a hidden wall. It appears to be just a peg board, with some tools hung up on it. But by pressing a certain hole, it opens up to reveal my cavernous room full of other well known works of art, all original too.

To start my plan, I called Mr. Montegue at his office on a Thursday afternoon. I explained that I was an art critic for the magazine, 'Today's Art World', and that I would love to do an interview about the Monet painting. I was not surprised when he eagerly agreed. We made arrangements to meet at his mansion on Saturday morning. I also added that I would like to have a picture taken of his wife and daughter too, with all three of them standing in front of the 'Woman with the Parasol'. He assured me that he would arrange for that to happen.

I was pleased that the first step had been accomplished so easily.

From then on it became it would be trickier, but hopefully successful. I would find out on Saturday how the next step would go.

To my relief, it went well. I buttered up the old man, and won his confidence when I produced a box of Cuban cigars, his favourite.

I complimented Mrs. Montegue on her beauty, and the excellent job of decorating she had done to highlight the beautiful painting.

She deflected some of my praise by saying she had an interior decorator who did most of the work.

But I saw that she was pleased with my recognition of her taste.

I was getting a bit worried that Lisa had not shown up. I finally had to ask if she was coming, and I wanted to get the picture done, as I had another appointment at noon. So Mrs. Montegue called upstairs for her to come down immediately. I heard her call down to her mother that she would be just a minute. I must say it was worth the wait. She made a grand entrance through the double doors of the dining room.

She was an exquisite creature, I thought to myself immediately.

She was about 5'6” tall, with ash brown hair. Her green eyes, and high cheekbones suggested a delicacy about her. Her mouth had an expression of innocence that was

accented with flesh coloured lipstick. She was wearing a pale yellow blouse and dark green pants, and pale green sandals. She introduced herself, and apologized for her tardiness. I was so mesmerized that I barely heard a word she said coming from her soft lilting voice.. When Mr. Montegue called out for everyone to get in front of the painting, I snapped out of it. I went about taking the pictures, moving them around in several positions and poses.

They were delighted with my creativity as I showed them the shots. Montegue asked when they would appear in my magazine. I just vaguely said it was up to the editor, but I thought it would be a couple more months before space could be found for this whole piece to make it in. Thankfully they took it in stride, and never pursued the matter any further.

I said that I had to go to my next appointment. We worked our way out to the front door. Luckily, both Mr. and Mrs. Montegue left, so I was alone with Lisa. I took a deep breath, hoping she would take my bait, and agree to go out with me. My plan depended on it. She did. I suggested supper that night. I told her that I would pick her up at six. I left, delighted that my plan was off to such a fine start. We had a wonderful evening. I was even able to get a kiss, and on our first date.

I called her up Sunday morning to ask her how she felt this morning. She replied that she had a great time last night. I said that I did too. And that was the truth. I really enjoyed her company, to my surprise. At first I thought this was just going to be a performance to get in with her, but what a pleasant task it was instead. We had more dates over the next while. I even began to get invited for supper every Friday night. Of course, Mr. Montegue hoarded the conversation, and it was always about how wealthy he was, and what other paintings he had located in various locations, beside the mansion. Normally I would have been paying complete attention to my prey, but the only one I wanted was right in front of me. I got to admire it every Friday night. My mind was focused on it, and so missed parts of our conversations, even with Lisa and Mrs. Montegue. They had to bring me back to the present many a time. I always exclaimed that I was tired, and was also trying to come up with my next article.

I would apologize profusely, and they accepted it wholeheartedly.

Finally, in April I got rewarded.

As I was getting ready to leave after our weekly Friday night supper, Montegue suddenly yelled: “Wait, don't open that front door.

I forgot to shut off the alarm system after I let you in. It will go off and take an ear piercing buzz that would make anyone cringe and cover their ears. It happened to Zelda a few days ago. Thankfully I was still in the house, and able to shut it off. Otherwise it would keep blaring until the security company men came. This will deter anyone who tries to steal my Monet. Pretty impressive, eh!”

This was my chance to learn the code to shut it off. I prompted him by saying: “I hope you have a clever PIN to remember. You didn't use 1111 or something so easy to crack, did you?”

He guffawed and proceeded to enter it. I had positioned myself to look over his shoulder as he entered the code. I smiled in amusement when I saw him enter the year 2014. I noted to myself: “Okay, another part of the plan

accomplished.” I then tried to get a bit more information out of him while I had the chance, as who knows how much longer that I would have to wait to find out anything. I said: “Really sir, is that the only protection you have? You don't have any wires or sensors or that sort of thing around the painting itself? Nowadays most museums have sensors attached to the back of their art so that as soon it is lifted off the wall, an alarm goes off . Security can sweep in within a matter of seconds and secure the building, trapping any would be thief.” I don't know if that is true or not, but I was just using this as a ruse to prompt more details of what he had set up in and around the mansion.

He turned to me as he disarmed the alarm. “No, my boy, this is all I have. It should be enough.

There is always someone around the premises 24 hours a day, what with us, and our gardener, and staff of housekeepers. And you saw the gated entrance. Mind you, I am thinking of getting an electric fence installed this summer all around the perimeter of the property as an added precaution. It's pretty expensive. I will have to see how my profit margin looks by June.”

I backed up his rationale, and agreed with his assessment about the fence. So I knew my time line. Between now and June, I needed to complete my plan and take action, just in case he does go ahead with the fence. He also made a comment that triggered a bit of worry for me. That was about their being either staff or themselves on the property all the time. I might need a diversion when the time came – maybe a fire in the garage or a drowning in the pool at the back of the mansion. I knew where I could get a mannequin to throw in, as using a real person would be way too complicated to arrange. I could flesh that out as I got closer to the day or reckoning, I noted.

In the meantime, I worked some more on Lisa. We got closer, and I began to see her more often than just Friday nights at supper. Thankfully she didn't ask too many questions about me and my background. I fed her a few tidbits to satisfy any curiosity she might have, or that could be checked up on. To my surprise and alarm, I grew very fond of her – well yes, I realized that I was falling in love with her. I think the feeling was mutual. This was a bit of a complication that I had not counted on. But I went ahead with my plan.

I had a little scare in May when during our weekly supper, Montegue asked me when my article was going to appear in my magazine. I had totally forgotten about that story line that I had given them. I quickly blurted out: “I don't know. It's up to my editor as to when these stories go in. I will ask him again, but he is crusty old coot – sorry sir, I should not have said that, even though it is true.” I intentionally paused, waiting for a response from him. I got it. He snickered, and said he understood. I quickly moved the conversation along. This time I commented on the downward spiral of the dollar, and how that would effect his business. That got him going. I smiled over at Lisa and Zelda, and winked.

They smiled back. They both saw through me as I tried to divert from an awkward situation.

That weekend was also the first time Lisa and I went to bed together, up in her bedroom. We purposely stayed up late, watching

Page 3

an old movie on TV until his parents finally headed off to bed. We waited a while longer, and then we quietly climbed upstairs past their bedroom and into hers.

Afterwards, I said that I had better go. It was nearly two a.m.

We kissed once more as I headed to the bedroom door. She snuck up behind me, and whispered in my ear: “Thanks for a wonderful evening. You know, my parents are going away next weekend. We will have the entire house to ourselves, if you would like to keep me company for the weekend. I would be very lonely, all by myself in this house for all that time.” She was so irresistible at that moment.

I wanted to turn around and take her back to bed. But I resisted. I agreed to come. I turned around and kissed her passionately before opening the door and slipping out. She closed the door, and left me to see my way out. I immediately headed down to the dining room, to take another longing look at my soon to be possession.

Actually, I was tempted to take it with me right then. I was alone, and the alarm had not been shut off, as Lisa had told her father that she would do it after I had gone.

But I knew that next weekend would be even better, and more likely to succeed. I was so torn. I took a few moments to assess my plan, which was totally in place.

I was just waiting for the right time. I hadn't counted on it coming up quite so soon. Normally not a creature of doing things on the spur of the moment, I broke that rule. It was just too good an opportunity to pass up. Tonight was the night. I quickly took my Monet down off the wall, and laid it on the dining room table. I turned it over, and loosened the frame enough so I could get it out. I rolled it up, and replaced it with today's newspaper that Mr. Montegue had been reading at dinner earlier. That way no one would hopefully notice the painting missing at first, or maybe all day, if I was lucky. I took a quick look, and thought it would work. I then rushed to the front door, and put on my trench coat.

It had been raining that night. I wrapped my painting inside, tied up belt, put on my hat, opened the front door (holding my breath that I was correct in being sure the alarm was off, which it was.

But of course I had the code, so could shut it off immediately). I ran to my car, and got in. It was still raining hard as I headed out.

I just happened to see Lisa at her bedroom window in a sheer nightie. It took my breath away.

She waved at me, and I poked my arm out of my window and waved back at her. It broke my heart that maybe I was waving goodbye for good, and she was waving just a good night for now. At the gate closed behind me, I pulled over to the side of the road, mulling over my dilemma.

My love of Lisa, or my love of Monet – which would I choose?

I drove away. So you know my answer – Monet wins out every time.... Jasper Wyoming (an alias of course).

P.S. I was tempted to come back the next day to watch the panic that would ensue, and continue to watch the investigation unfold, with the thief right under their noses.. But it was too risky, I concluded. No, a clean break and disappearance from any further involvement with them was for the best – but it didn't turn out that way. I tell you all of this from my current residence. And that, my friends, is another story altogether..... April 20/16

Canadian Red Cross Honours Its Volunteers During National Volunteer Week

This week, the Canadian Red Cross celebrates all volunteers during National Volunteer Week, April 11-15.

Every year, Red Cross volunteers generously donate their time to improve the lives of those in need across Canada.

“This is an opportunity to honour and thank the vast network of volunteers who are an integral part of the Society, contributing to our humanitarian work that is carried out in communities from coast to coast,” said Conrad Sauvé, Secretary General and CEO of the Canadian Red Cross.

With over two million Canadians benefiting from Canadian Red Cross programs and services each year, the value that volunteers bring to the organization is incomparable. This team of passionate and dedicated individuals provides a sense of support and protection to the most vulnerable people.

More than 20,000 volunteers provide a significant impact

on each and every program and service that the Canadian Red Cross offers.

“Canadian Red Cross volunteers demonstrate a high level of commitment to the organization,” added Sauvé.

“The strength of the relationship between the Canadian Red Cross and its volunteers is one of the most unique and important measures of success of this Society.”

Volunteering with the Canadian Red Cross provides an opportunity to give back to communities, meet new people, and can help enhance career paths. To identify volunteer opportunities in your community, visit www.redcross.ca/volunteer.

The Canadian Red Cross is a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which includes the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the International Committee of the Red Cross and 189 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

Our mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the world.

Food Bank Update For March / April 2016

Once again, Wawa Community Food Bank wishes to recognise the many organisations, individuals and businesses supporting the efforts of volunteers in alleviating hunger in our small town.

First of all, we thank the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby committee for their posters and for encouraging Derby registrants to donate fish to the Food Bank. Thank you as well to the volunteers who donated their time and skill to the cleaning and filleting of the fish for our clients. These fillets are always welcomed by those whose diets are frequently deficient in quality protein.

The junior and senior kindergarten class from Sir James Dunn Public School, with their teacher Jennifer Chandor-Hall, brought over 100 food items to the Food Bank as the culmination of a yearly project.

This generosity certainly benefits those who rely on donations and the children learn the importance of giving to others in a very practical, hands-on manner.

We also thank our local branch of the Algoma Health Unit for a recent and substantial contribution.

So many individuals support the Food Bank with grocery gift cards, monetary donations and food items. We thank Fern Albert, Joe Buckell, Denise Gauthier, Harold Jones, Lucien Noel, Dannica Switzer and the Wawa Goose Club. Fern and Denise have also provided, on several occasions, the ingredients for full family dinners, including turkeys, hams and appropriate accompaniments.

The families who have received this generous assistance are most grateful.

Volunteers wish to extend our heart felt appreciation to Maurice Rancourt who has been a dedicated supporter of the Food Bank for many, many years.

Many thanks as well to anonymous members of our community who donate gift cards and food items to the designated grocery cart provided at Valu Mart. One extraordinary individual completely filled this cart by herself. Suggestions for donations include brown beans, Kraft Dinner, canned vegetables, canned meat or fish and pasta sauce.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Valu Mart owners, department managers, cashiers, shelf stockers and carry out staff who have all been so supportive in every way in aiding the Food Bank to

achieve its goals.

Subway is another much appreciated long time sponsor whose staff provides for our interests.

Wawa Home Building Centre has donated materials to allow for the construction of new Food Bank plots at the Community Garden. Thank you for this opportunity to help expand the supply of fresh, local vegetables to our patrons.

Wawa Family Health Team continues with the provision of outreach clinics at the Food Bank on regularly scheduled Wednesdays, from 2 – 4 p.m. Clients certainly benefit from the Diabetes Education Programme provided by Renee Mellish who offers on site screening and information. In addition, the services of Laurie Cavan, Community Social Worker and Dr. Erle Kirby are available on a walk in basis to Food Bank clients and anyone else in the community. Thank you to the Family Health Team for this valuable client connection and to the EDC for providing private office space for this venture.

We must also note the regular and cheerful assistance of the entire staff of the EDC Emily Cloutier, Jessie Labonte and Maury O’Neill - who help Food Bank volunteers in countless ways.

Additionally, we would like to thank local media outlets, Algoma News Review and wawa-news.com, for the chance to speak to the community through their publications.

Other events have been happening at the Food Bank.

Over the month of March, our volunteers collected data which was then submitted to the Hunger Count 2016 Survey.

This survey is an annual, Canada wide project which analyses information provided from food banks for the month of March to obtain a statistical snapshot of a typical month; it then identifies trends and makes suggestions to provincial and federal levels of government regarding the issue of poverty and its connection to food insecurity.

Recently, Cindy Szekely gave a well-received presentation to Les Filles de Colombes, outlining the history and current practices of our Food Bank.

Thank you for your interest.

Wawa Community Food Bank is well served by the community of Wawa which, as always, contributes with exceptional generosity to the less fortunate among us.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Letters to the Editor...

Dear Editor, As a long time resident of this area, I wish to comment on the frightening speed with which the banks of the Michipicoten River are eroding because of spring flooding and water levels determined by the power companies who operate the dams along the Magpie and Michipicoten Rivers.

When I first arrived here in 1947 there were many tourists travelling the river routes during the 1940s, right up to the 1980s, but now the river seems to have lost its appeal with the beautiful bay with it’s island at the Mission now gone, while day trips have mostly disappeared. The river between Scott Falls and the Mission have been almost destroyed by the extra water that comes down some years when the reservoirs are overflowing along with the normal spring water. The power dams overflow can bring the river up from three to five feet higher than normal.

The banks are washed away in some places more than 150 feet with tons of sand, topsoil, and dirt in the river bottom making the river wider and shallower. This is along the thousands of tress washed into and down the Michipicoten River. Deciduous trees mostly end up at the bottom of the river along with mud, sand, and topsoil, while coniferous tress generally float out to Lake Superior. These are all hazards for boaters.

My wife and I are living on the banks of the Michipicoten River, watching the banks wash steadily away. The river no longer looks the same, and i despair for the future if nothing is done to prevent further erosion. If the river breaks through to Lake Superior by a more direct route, the effects will be considerable.

Simple things such as anchoring a couple of large trees, branches and all, in the proper locations would help slow the erosion until proper planned work could be undertaken. I am sure the proper authorities could find a solution if they put their minds to it but they should do so without further delay.

Sincerely, Mickey Clement

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Legion News Spring has sprung and things are looking brighter all over. At the Branch, we are getting ready for some fundraisers before the summer.

Maybe we can start some of the projects to improve the Legion Hall.

71 years ago, The New Brunswick Princess Louise tanks had made it from Arnhem to Nijkerk at the Ijssel lake. As Jack Myers used to tell me, it was quite a battle especially at Otterloo and Putten. After this they headed North to Groningen and ended up in Delftzijl on May 3rd and took that place just before May 5th. So we have a reason to be proud of all our veterans and those serving now overseas.

Our Ladies Auxiliary had another Spaghetti Supper last Thursday. They will have another luncheon on April 28th from 11:00 a.m. till 1:30 p.m Our lady darters did well last Wednesday and team 1

took 6 games, team 2 - 4, team 3 - 5, team 4 - 7, team 5 - 4 and team 6 took 4 games.

High ton was Christine M. with 135 and high finish was Heather with 55.

At last Saturday's cribbage, the winners were 1st Iris and Cliff, 2nd Alma and Sandra, 3rd Erin and Jeanette and boobs were John and Reg. The meat draw was won by Peter.

The manager of a local store called a staff meeting and he told them that he did not get enough respect. So the next Monday he put a sign on his office door which read "I AM THE BOSS!!"

In the afternoon, someone had put a note on the sign which said "YOUR WIFE CALLED AND SHE WANTS HER SIGN BACK." 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.

Pathways

“Carrying the message of Love” with Joan Brooks

Finding Balance In My Life Wow, may I say these past few months have tossed me around emotionally, physically and spiritually. Some say it’s the weather – hmmm, could be, others it’s the dark gloomy days and on the list goes. For me, it seems I’m expecting perfection in every thing I’m involved with.

Yup! ‘Why me Lord?’ And the answer is always ‘Why not You, Joan.’

‘We are a balance between our spiritual perfection and our imperfect human self,’ says Rev Jane Beach in one of my daily readings. ‘Acknowledging both our successes and our imperfections allows us to uncover our authentic self’ which is who we are in this present moment.

There is no need to fix or change anything.’ But I try, I question why, what can I do to change this situation? Who can I call to share my pain when I feel I simply don’t want to burden another with my grief.

Yes, I’m grieving. Now I know we all experience numerous micro-griefs daily, depending on our activities. Change is happening just as we speak. We can’t change what was a few moments ago. It is done.

I’ve experienced nearly every emotion known to man over this past while. And I know there are choices that require decisions. But, dear Lord, can you just slow down a bit and give me time to make wise choices. They don’t just happen. Oh but choices do happen in every minute. I can choose to be happy – there is a Buddhist verse that begins by saying “May I be well. May I be happy. May I be free from suffering.” And then it goes on to speak to friends and family, then enemies, then all sentient beings, then ends with “I am compassionate, I am kind, I am patient, I am loving, I am caring.

I help others.” I have listened to this ‘Gamma Compassion CD’ numerous times, including the middle of the night but often I don’t get past the first two verses including “may my friends be well. May my friends be happy.

May my friends be free from suffering.” For this one I name those that are suffering. And so I choose to be happy in those moments.

I am truly blessed to have friends who understand my Pathway and truly listen to my ‘woe is me’ litany. And usually they can reach through my pain with a phrase that steers me in the right direction. And those who know me know how powerful hugs are. They help me ‘surrender’ to becoming more of who I am. Surrender is what the body does when you exhale.

I release one breath so that I may take in another. I release the issue and walk away feeling lighter - to hold onto my ‘pain’ limits efforts to resolve whatever is troubling me in any given moment. And on the litany goes.

Many of you know I’ve been experiencing computer problems – big time. I have an awesome ‘tech’ guy who usually performs miracles which often means I’m without this electronic connection for a couple of days. But there came a day when his miracle required seeking other help (parts). So in the meantime, another long-time friend set me up with this neat little laptop. (I want one!), and so, there is a great lesson in this one problem. I asked for and received help. And, I will say I am totally clueless when it comes to computers. I know the basics, and really have no desire to know more. My ‘tech’ guy is very impatient, so I let him have his say, and know when I need help again, he will be there. What an incredible resource he is.

I am truly grateful for those friends who answered my call.

On my early morning walk the sun was glistening off the packed snow – gazillions of little diamonds reflecting the brilliant joy of the day. All is perfect in my world on this gorgeous sunny day that says spring is here. My imperfections melted in the sun. The gift of friends lifted the load until I was ready to surrender everything – to lose my life to a greater next moment.

Love is all there is. And there are many ways of expressing love. I’ve certainly done that this past while. The privilege of a lifetime is being who I am. ‘til next time…this is Joan

Notes From The Bird Lady

Article & photos by Tammie Hache Manitouwadge, ON Email: bthache@yahoo.ca Webcam: http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/38/ Ontario_FeederWatch/ Annual Great Canadian Birdathon is Coming!

Once again, I will be completing a birdathon this spring.

I will be taking one day in mid May to be out birding as much as I can, counting as many different species as I can in that one day. Last year, my husband and I tallied 67 different species. I'm still trying to break the 70 mark!

I am looking for donations for my birdathon as I am trying to once again raise a minimum of $500 for Bird Studies Canada to help with wild bird conservation and research.

If you would be interested in sponsoring me, please use this link: http://birdscanada.kintera.org/birdathon/manitouwadgebirdlady. If you would prefer to donate by cheque, please send me an email stat-

Last weekend, my husband and I took an overnight trip to our camp in Hillsport (halfway between Manitouwadge and Caramat) to do our annual Nocturnal Owl Survey. On our way out there, we once again saw a Northern Hawk Owl in the same tree we'd seen one 2 weeks before when we went out there. That tree is obviously that Owl's favourite hunting perch in its territory.

This was the earliest we'd ever completed our survey but even though it was chilly (-10C) and breezy, we did well. We tallied the calls of 5 different owls: 1 single Boreal Owl in response to the calls we played; then a pair of Boreal Owls 'duetting' (calling to each other); and then a pair of tiny Northern Saw-Whet Owls also 'duetting'. The Boreal Owl and the Great Gray Owl are our 2 target species for the survey but once again, we didn't pick up any Great Grays at all.

While out at camp, we took the atv (allterrain vehicle) out across our favourite lake since there was still loads of ice. My husband and his father had been fishing out there week before and had been watching a pair of Bald Eagles that nest on that lake every year (my husband also heard the calls of a Boreal Owl that night).

We easily found the Eagles and we found their massive nest too.

One Eagle (I believe it was the female) was sitting on a branch near the nest and the other was soaring overhead. After watching them for a few minutes, we checked out a few other spots on the lake for a half hour or so. When we drove by again, the female was in the nest and the male was sitting on a branch nearby. Hope no storms wreak havoc on their nest this year.

One season a few years ago, a severe wind storm took the nest

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

down and killed 2 out of 3 of that year's young Eagles before they could fly.

At my mother-in-law's feeders in Hillsport, I saw a few other migrants. A few European Starlings were hanging around along with the White Throated Sparrow that survived the whole winter out there. I also saw a single Junco and an American Tree Sparrow. She had a flock of Snow Buntings coming around but of course the day I was there, they didn't come in.

I finally had a springtime migrant show up in my yard this morning: the season's first Dark Eyed Junco. It took me a while to see it after hearing it a couple of times over the webcam but I finally saw it fly up and over my back fence on its return to my yard. With this incredible spring weather we are now getting up here, it won't be long before a variety of Sparrows start moving in along with other migrants like Sandhill Cranes, Killdeer, Red Winged Blackbirds and a whole host of other bird species. I look so forward to this every year!

Female European Starling

Redpoll numbers are now dropping at my feeders. I expect them to drop significantly in the coming weeks. I still have a small handful of Pine Grosbeaks visiting and a fair number (15 or so) of Evening Grosbeaks. A female Hairy Woodpecker comes in for a snack once in a while and a male Downy Woodpecker has been coming in off and on for some peanuts. A pair of Ruffed Grouse come in just about every night right before dark, for their snack. Once in a while, there will be a Grouse out there in the middle of the day.

Sightings this week include: Blue Jays, Gray Jays, Crows, Ravens, Grackles, Starlings, Purple Finch, Common Redpolls, Hoary Redpolls, Pine Grosbeaks, Evening Grosbeaks, Black Capped Chickadees, Red Breasted Nuthatch, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Ruffed Grouse & Bald Eagles.

NOTE: Please be aware that the webcam will be shutting down for the summer season on Sunday, April 24th. You will still be able to watch all the other webcams tho'.

Until next week, thanks for reading!

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

What Is Wrong With Us? Article by Karin Grundt As most of you know, I am the ‘dummy’ that cleans up our surroundings, year after year — faithfully every spring with the help of like minded people and monetary donations from businesses and groups who appreciate our effort.

For as long as I pick up somebody else’s trash, I curse everytime under my breath. Each time I have to bend down and pick up these soggy plastic shopping bags out of ditches, branches and caked mud, I curse again.

One year with the help of

assigned juveniles, we took on the Garbage Dump Road and were overwhelmed by what we saw.

Trees were covered with these damn bags in all shades of the rainbow — it looked like a magic Christmas forest and only with rakes and shovels could we combat that enormous mess.

I have been writing, talking, begging about that polluting problem.

Even made a presentation years ago to Town Council and handed out handmade cloth bags with the plea to use these and avoid plastics — since our landfill had reached a

limit. But, it fell on deaf ears. I was rejoicing when the first recyclable shopping bags were introduced at ValuMart and in my exuberance I bought 200 bags and handed them out on Earth Day, hoping shoppers would catch on and eliminate the use of these flimsy, polluting, nuisance bags. WRONG! The biggest and most ignorant excuse I keep hearing from people, “Oh, I forgot!” or “I use them as poop bags for my dog." Duh, such a big bag for little dog poo, unless the dog is as big as a horse. Or, “I use them for kitchen scraps"; So do

Jane or John Doe, or people on fixed incomes. Maybe charging $1 would rattle the forgetful minds of shoppers? Right after the black bags came out, the use of plastic bags dropped for the next three years, but unfortunately now is back up at the same level. A good thing to remember is that if you use the PC Shopping bags at ValuMart you do earn extra PC points, and the use of recyclable bags can enter you into the gift card draw every month.

April 22nd is Earth Day. Please do something positive for the environment and eliminate at least the use of plastic bags. Please show respect for our environment and honour Mother Earth.

I, but I dump the contents into the big garbage can and keep it until it falls apart. But no matter how much we reuse them, they end up in our outdoors.

A personal observation, and it makes me sad. Is that intelligent people who have all the knowledge on their fingertips about the pollution in rivers, oceans and the waste of valuable resources are so ignorant about the global problem and are not so smart when it comes to common sense.

I talked to John, the owner of ValuMart, who is very much behind the idea of eliminating the plastics all together — ‘but what then?’, he asked. 5 cents for each bag means nothing for high income people, but a lot for the average

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.

Wawa Oldtimers Compete In Carha Hockey Tournament

Article & photo by Barb Fisher, one photo supplied.

Another prestigious award to add to Wawa's impressive history of a great little hockey town. Our hockey players: Robert Case, Ray Parise, goalie Tom Newport, John Simon, Gilles Begin, Rod Spreng and Danny Simon teamed up with other hockey buddies from Chapleau, Sudbury and Espanola and with their mutual connection, named their team Highway 101.

Thank you for putting Wawa on the oldtimers hockey map once again participating in the recent CARHA Hockey Tournament.

Every four years the world renowned Canadian Adult Recreation Hockey Association (CARHA) Hockey World Cup selects a Canadian city to host the event attracting participants from across Canada, USA and Europe and this year the tournament was held in Windsor, Ontario. Past tournaments have been held in Toronto (1996), Vancouver (2000), Ottawa (2004), Quebec City (2008) and Sault Ste Marie (2012). From April 3 - 10 over 120 adult recreational

hockey teams from more than 15 countries faced off for the win. The event has been labeled the "Olympics" of rec hockey and since its inception has grown to be the largest international adult rec hockey tournament in the world.

134 teams in total competed in various age divisions. Our guys fell into the 60-65 age division in which 16 teams competed. The competition was brutal and exhausting, but these guys have been honing their skills and conditioning for many years beginning as youngsters in the Wawa Minor Hockey Association. It was through Danny Simon's efforts and contacts that the Wawa players first became connected to the guys in Espanola resulting in the group playing together in tournaments in Sudbury and Little Current for the past four years. The guys had many stories of past shenanigans in developing their hockey passion, braving the elements on outdoor rinks, and later when the arena was built, someone unlocked the arena door so that it was open for use in the wee hours of the mornings,

L-R: Robert Case, Ray Parise, Tom Newport, John Simon, Gilles Begin, Rod Spreng, #9 John Tavella in spirit.

before school and the rest of the town's day got underway.

Street hockey, albeit with no net but improvising with snow lumps, continued for the rest of the day and evening as long as the ball was still visible. All this extra "ice time" helped in clinching the NOHA Jr B championship when they were youngsters just a few years ago. The guys still proudly play today with the Wawa Oldtimers club and are quick to point out how lucky we are in Wawa to have such an organization as most other small towns do not have this privilege. For all of our youngsters discovering their way through life, never underestimate the power of team sports; it may not keep you "off the streets", but forges a lifetime of friendships and memories.

Fellow teammates PK Kallioinen and Billy Scheer organized the team and made sure that all the required info was gathered and submitted to the CARHA tournament officials. The team was strong, their confidence unwavering, but thought that maybe their team doctor should accompany them just in case. Marnie did think about it, for a second - NO. Their expenses were totally self-funded which included a token of kindredship Highway 101 embroidered toques given to every player on opposing teams and the referees. It was a week-long fantastic experience of skill, stamina and comradeship.

The crowning jewel in their impressive performance in the finals was clinching the "Silver" trophy coming second place overall in their division, with jersey #9 and the spirit of John Tavella being constantly present in everyone's heart. Congratulations to a game well played.

We had our April meeting last week; we had our ice cream social and a marvelous taste of spring in glorious sunshine; we also have a Nomination Committee in preparation for our executive elections.

Our Nomination Committee is made up of Jean Beland and Alma Myers. Before the regular General Meeting on June 15, 2016 these two ladies will be lining up a slate of aspiring Executive Members for the club. They will also run the elections on that date. Feel free to volunteer to stand for one of the offices; calling either of the ladies or the Drop In any weekday afternoon at 705-856-7394 would be a way to go. You have seven weeks to get up your nerve or organize your resolve to participate more.

Duties of the President, Past President and the Vicepresident were presented in this column on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 if you need to do some research. You can also call the Drop In and we can give you a copy.

The Executive also has a Secretary and a Treasurer. The By-laws outline the duties of each office holder.

The Secretary is responsible for minutes and a printed agenda for meetings of both the Executive and the Club. Club correspondence and collecting the mail is part of the job.

Notification of the members of the time and place of meetings should be done by the secretary.

Arranging for a local newspaper account of Club business

is also a chore, although actual writing of it may be delegated.

Obviously, attending the meetings is pretty well mandatory.

The Treasurer deals with all monies paid to the Club from any source and make deposits to the account in whichever institution the Club chooses.

The Treasurer makes a record of all receipts and payments and presents it at the Club and Executive meetings. Bill payment is his/her responsibility.

Signing cheques is necessary.

Meetings every month except July and August are the responsibility of all Executive members. The Executive meets and the Club meets in the second week of the month to organize the agenda, to discuss activities and policies, to do Club business, and inform members.

The Club and the Drop In activities don’t just happen; it takes the executive to get it underway. To continue or to become a new and improved community organization needs involvement. June is coming so could you please consider becoming a part of making it happen.

Before June gets here, we are going to make Hamburger (meat) Pies with vegetables.

Large cost $12.00 and small (individual serving size) cost $5.00. We need your order before April 30, 2016. You can call the Drop In at 705-8567394 any weekday afternoon.

Or, you can Drop In and sign the list. Payment is made when you collect the product.

Open House for Saturday, April 23rd 6 Superior Ave. from 2 - 4 p.m.

Asking $154,900 Lovely updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath brick bungalow. Stunning kitchen, new floors, open concept and much more. Must see!
