34th Annual Wawa Salmon Derby Nets Another Success

Mya & David Rilley: Harry Aho Memorial Trophy For Mya Rilley: Bill Young Memorial Trohpy For Total Weight Largest Salmon By An Angler Under 14 Article & photos by Barb Fisher This is the 34th year that Brad Buck has hosted the Wawa Salmon Derby, an exposition in angling expertise... and just a good ol' time. In the early years Brad partnered with Gary Sittler and together co-founded the derby, the headquarters and weigh-in station initially being located at the old sky hill and later moved to the present Marina where every August since, this premiere event in fishing at its finest has all unfolded. The rain was constant throughout the weekend, but the lake remaining calm enough not to present a safety problem, tested the endurance of the 82 registered teams who were bringing in fish in record weights.

Friday was officially registration day for the three day event, but for the five days leading up to Friday, anglers could submit their catch to be eligible for the pre-derby prize each day. Saturday morning filled the fishermen with a great pancake breakfast and set the pace for the anglers to get out on the lake and fill their boats. I walked about the marina, checking out the scoreboard and chatting with anyone willing to exchange fish stories. To my question on the landing of much larger fish this year as compared to the last few years, many rea-

sons were offered: salmon at the top of their cycle, warmer water, more abundant feed, but everyone agreed that larger fish in the 30 lb range caught a few years ago were the norm. It has only been in the last few years when catches were abnormally small, but

by Sunday afternoon this year there were several lunkers posted on the leader board.

In my mingling I chatted to many fishermen from outof-town and some from distant states in the US. Dave, a sailboater from Marquette, Michigan had stopped at the marina for fuel, got caught up in the hype, decided to stay and camp overnight, offered his services as a volunteer for the weekend and noted the registration dates to join the fun next year. Fish brought into the weigh station could be kept by the anglers themselves, or could be donated to the food bank, a welcome contribution to a worthwhile cause in our town. At sundown all anglers who braved the foul weather to the bitter end docked at the wharf submitting their catch and tags and regrouped for the Saturday evening festivities. I was sorry to miss the evening entertainment, but I have had the pleasure before of listening to the awesome tunes by Wawa's own Smokies and the Bandit, a rough and tough foursome of local firefighters

with our MNR. They were the feature live band but didn't mind sharing the stage with the Tragically Hip on the projection screen, live from their performance at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in Kingston, who took a bit of a backseat by opening for our star performers, Smokies and the Bandit.

Sunday again featured a pancake breakfast and promptly at 1:00 p.m. all lines were pulled, the elusive sun shook off the rain and shone brightly as the prizes were readied for presentation as the delectable aroma of the roast beef dinner being prepared percolated throughout the crowd. Myra Rilley seems to be setting a furious pace that is going to be hard to beat. Last year, at 8 years old she stacked up the prizes and again this year took the Bill Young Memorial trophy for the largest salmon caught by an angler under 14 years of age, and joined with David Rilley in receiving the Harry Aho Memorial trophy in the total weight category. The Rilley team did not have time to sit down as they were busy selecting their prizes with their several other winning weight catches. Dave and Rose Aspegren from Goulet River have been fishing in the derby together for 17 years and Dave for years before. They basked in their success this year as triple winners - 4th place for

Another Winnie-ThePooh Fesitval For White River August 19th 20th, 2016 Juvenile Purple Finch Hummingbird At Monarda Blossom

Notes From The Bird Lady Article & Photos by Tammie Hache Manitouwadge, ON bthache@yahoo.ca The Hummingbird Wars continue in my yard. Such great entertainment!! As long as I have windows open, I can hear their constant chatter as they chase each other throughout the flowerbeds and trees, dawn to dark. One adult male 'owns' the backyard feeder .... no one else is allowed to use that one while he's around. The rest ... 5 or 6 of them that I've seen at once ...... battle it out over the flowers. This morning, I sat out in the gazebo for a few minutes and saw 4 of them: the adult male at the feeder, 2 juveniles at the flowerbeds surrounding the deck and at least one more at a flowerbed further in the backyard. I have never had this many Hummingbirds in my yard at once ..... best season yet!

The Hummingbirds are not the only creatures that love the Monarda (Bee Balm) blossoms. Bees have been in my flowerbeds in great abundance all summer too, well over 100 at a time, taking full advantage of the natural nectar throughout the yard.

Farmers note: if you want to attract bees to your property, plant Monarda!! It is the greatest attractant for bees and Hummingbirds that I've ever seen.

Common Nighthawks have been around off and on the past couple of weeks. You'll likely never see these birds on the ground as they have incredible camouflage but

Bee on Monarda Blossom

you'll see (and sometimes hear!) them doing their aerial acrobatics high up in the sky as they hunt for flying insects in the evening. I'll usually start seeing them in mid July until about late August. Some years, there are very few of them; other years, there can be thousands passing through the region. This week, the most I saw (so far) was a flock of about 40.

Purple Finches are still in the yard in very good numbers. It's been an excellent season for them, by the looks of things. All summer, I've had an average of 15 to 20 at a time ... mostly females and juveniles with a few males thrown in once in a while.

Even back in the spring when they first migrated, their numbers were higher than usual. The Goldfinches are still mostly off nesting. I've seen a couple of males recently but no females for a while now. They time their nesting season for the bloom of wild thistle, their favourite seed.

Walking home a few days ago, I spotted (and heard) about a half dozen birds flying in and out of some trees in a yard up my street. I stopped dead, of course (my neighbours ought to be used to me doing this by now!), to watch and try to figure out what they were. Turned out they were Eastern Bluebirds!

Likely the same family that was down this way earlier in the summer. So nice to see them doing well!

It's been a very quiet summer for Sparrows in the yard.

Some years, I've had quite a

few types including Lincoln, Harris's, Savannah, Chipping, White Throated, etc. This summer, I've mostly just had the Chipping Sparrows. I saw one juvenile the other day that could possibly be a Savannah but I didn't get a good enough look (or clear enough photos) to be certain.

Loons are getting active again, flying over calling loudly regularly. They will be gathering in large groups on lakes (social gatherings) for interaction and heavier feeding in preparation for migration. The young ones will be turfed out on their own soon to fend for themselves. They'll know automatically where to go during their first migration but the adults will leave first.

The young will stay behind to do practice flights, build their strength and fat reserves for the long flight. I'm lucky to have a lake nearby so I can hear them (and sometimes see them) flying over, calling loudly. I've heard 2 so far this morning.

Sightings in and out of the yard this week include: Black Capped Chickadees, Red Breasted Nuthatches, Red Eyed Vireos, Pileated Woodpeckers, Loons, assorted Ducks, Sandhill Cranes, assorted Hawks (especially 3 Red Tailed Hawks!), Common Nighthawks, Hummingbirds, Kestrels, Purple Finches, Goldfinches, Chipping Sparrows, Swallows, Robins, Crows, Ravens, Grackles, Starlings, Bluebirds, Downy Woodpeckers, Cedar Waxwings and White Throated Sparrows. Some Warblers are being reported throughout the region so they are getting on the move.

That's it for this week.

Thanks for reading!!

Common Nighthawk

Article by Marlerne Turner, Manitouwadge Historical Society What a special weekend, when we can all be kids again; plus baseball and a Classic Car Show etc. for the weekend, right on the Trans Canada Hwy 17.

As we deal with our black bear problem in Manitouwadge, we are once again reminded of the enjoyment that little black bear cub that was picked up by a WW1 Veterinarian Captain Harry Colebourn at White River on August 24th, 1914, when the normal train was stopped to feed, water and exercise the cattle, etc. coming from the Western Provinces. I believe it was 1989 when the Captain die and in reading his father's Journal it was discovered that he had purchased the bear in White River and the story unfolded. Local author Mia Sokoloski tells the story in her book "The Romance of the Captain and Winnie the Bear."

This year the granddaugher of Capt. Colebourn, her son the age of Christopher Robin, has written a book about this special children's story. One of the book's launchings was at Ryerson University in Toronto and I believe Mia attended with former resident Bernice Makepeace. So many children in Canada, U.S.A., England and around the world have enjoyed the stories of Winnie-the-Pooh.

Such a new, wonderful story, after the Journal was found and so much has happened with the building of the special weekend in White River to celebrate, so close to Manitouwadge we feel a part of it, at least I do. Other books about the creation of the series are also being enjoyed by me and others.

I recommend Disney's "Winnie the Pooh A Celebration of the Silly Old Bear by Christopher Finch with Illustrations by E.H. Shepard.

When Christopher Finch was read the story he was thinking maybe it was him? This is a wonderful book about A.A. Milne and son Christopher Robin and how it affected his life. Whether White River, the London or Winnipeg Zoos or Disney World or Disney Land it is a very special story which all began one hour from Manitouwadge; bear country!!

Master of Ceremonies, Chuck Farand gave much praise to all involved in bringing another successful derby to our community. He thanked the organizing committee for their slick expertise, the business and corporate sponsors for donations and support and urged that we all patronize our businesses in Wawa and area to keep our community strong. He praised the Sault Search & Rescue and OPP teams for keeping our anglers safe on the water, acknowledging with thanks the motels providing their accommodations. The shuttle service by LaCroix Bus Lines was a valued asset and Chuck thanked them and Subway for providing the pickup area for the service. Chuck ended the afternoon giving great praise to the volunteers who serve as a valued cog in the machinery of a successful derby. Wawa's community builders together with our fearless volunteers simply awesome!

Sarah Hikes The Trans Canada Trail Article & photo by Barb Fisher Sarah Jackson is well into her quest to be the first woman on record to hike the Trans Canada Trail from coast to coast, and if successful she will arrive at "Mile Zero" in St. John's Newfoundland in early 2017, just in time to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday and the 25th anniversary of the inception of the Trail.

The Trans Canada Trail began in 1992 and to date is the world's longest network of recreational trails which when fully connected will stretch 24,000 km from the Atlantic to the Pacific

and to the Arctic Ocean.

Approximately 86% of the cross Canada trail is complete and filling in the gaps to achieve a fully connected trail is targeted for the 25th anniversary celebration in 2017. It will be another exciting milestone to celebrate Canada's great achievements in just 150 years since confederation.

The construction of the Trail has been funded by Canada's federal and provincial governments with significent contributions from corporate and individual donors. The total network making up the Trans Canada Trail consists of more than 400 community

trails, each trail section being developed, owned and managed locally by trail groups, conservation authorities, and by municipal, provincial and federal governments. The multi-use route, depending on the terrain, allows hikers, bicyclists, horseback riders, cross country skiers, sowmobilers and paddlers access to certain portions of the Trail.

The Trail is now part of the Voyageur Hiking Trail, which is an association of trails between Thunder Bay and Sudbury, including Pukaskwa National Park and Lake Superior Provincial Park. All of these trails have been designated Trans Canada Trail.

Sarah percolated in her quest for adventure since graduating from the University of Alberta with a degree in Sociology in her hometown Edmonton. Her plan was well thought out, her inspiration - "to meditate on what to do with the rest of my life". She considered other North American trails but decided on the Trans Canada Trail because "there is so much of Canada I don't know. It's been incredible. It's surpassed any kind of expectation I could have imagined."

Sarah started from Victoria, B.C. in June of 2015, and with backpack, walking sticks, extra hiking boots and insect repellent she set out in awe of Canada's vast natural beauty in our diverse landscape, and was pleasantly surprised at the random network of outdoor enthusiasts that she would attract. Most nights Sarah tents out at the side of the trail after hiking between 20 and 40 km a day, but there aren't too many intervals that she hasn't picked up other hikers who share her love of the outdoors and

Page 3

sense of accomplishment, and who have accompanied her for a few kilometers.

Family members and friends have joined in for stretches to reinforce her cause, and through an uncanny link, a hiker who knew "trail mom" Margie Bettiol from Thunder Bay, who knew our very own hiker, Lucy Cresswell, the camaraderie and support continued. When Sarah was approaching Wawa, Lucy invited Sarah and her mum who was walking with her for a stretch, to stay the night at Lucy's house....but not until after they invited Lucy to walk with them awhile....12 km from Kabenung Lake to Catfish Lake. Well done Lucy, and thanks for the special invitation of hospitality extended to Sarah.

The Michipicoten section of the Voyageur Trail runs for 30 km south of Wawa. After passing our Visitor Centre, the trail crosses Hw 17 and follows the Magpie River, passing High Falls, Silver Falls and Mission Falls to the village of Michipicoten. South of Fort Friendship the trail follows the coast of Lake Superior to Noisy Bay. On leaving Wawa, Sarah is continuing south to the Soo and because much of this stretch of the Trail offers waterways for the paddler enthusiasts, she will have to divert to another land route south. With approximately 6,000 km under her boots to date, she is off to discover the beauty of our piece of paradise and more of Ontario's majesty. To follow Sarah's progress, access her blog at sarahrosewalks and offer a few words of encouragement in her quest to discover the natural wonders of our great land.

Another Traffic Rant Well, I finally saw it! I have often noted the boneheads that think nothing of stopping their vehicle right in the middle of the traffic lanes to chat with a pedestrian while comfortably seated behind the wheel in their car.

Worse yet, there are occasions when two vehicles facing opposite directions will stop in the lines of traffic to talk to each other from one driver’s window to the other blocking traffic both ways. I’ve often wondered how long it will be before some flower of the mentally deficient stops in the middle of Broadway Avenue on a busy afternoon.

Well, as I said, it has finally happened! While sitting in the restaurant waiting for my order, I was idly looking out the window, watching someone making their way between parked cars, apparently intending to cross the street. As the person reached the rear of the angleparked cars, a passing vehicle stopped in the traffic lanes of Broadway Avenue. The window on the passenger side of the car was rolled down as the

Legion News The heat wave has passed and now I try to use the little bit of brain left which did not melt.

Yes, it is now just another week and September is here.

This means we can get back to business.

While scanning the news from Holland I was happily surprised at he memorials they had this week. First of all a wreath laying was done at the monument of those who as POW's were used as slave labor to build the road through Birma. I remember Canada had a lot of POW's from the Winnipeg regiment in Hong Kong who so gallantly tried to defend that Island.

The plight of those who were used as slave labor or spent time in camps in Indonesia.

In a few weeks they will be remembering the Battle of Arnhem and the passing of

another veteran of this event was mentioned in the news.

As usual, about 20,000 or more will walk in the Airborne Walk with their families and children so no one will forget.

It is sometimes hard to remember and might bring back bad moments in your life. It was 70 years ago but WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THEM. I know a lot of our younger people do not read or watch the news because they are to busy on social media but it is up to parents and grandparents to teach them about our still not too far past history and what forefathers did to make Canada what it is today.

There are maybe some real heroes in your family.

At 10:00 a.m. this busy housewife called her husband and asked him to go to the store for her.

She said, "Darling would you go and get a bag of chips and if they have carrots buy about 6."

So a while later he returns with 6 bags of chips. So she asked him, "Why did you buy 6 bags?"

So he responded, "THEY HAD CARROTS!" 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..

pedestrian sauntered over to carry on a conversation with the occupants of the vehicle.

I honestly thought I would never see anyone that stupid in our town but I suppose there’s always someone who will exceed our expectations.

Speaking of expectations, I have this terrible feeling that I’m going to be run down by a bicycle on Broadway one day.

I can almost hear the meaty “clunk” as a speeding bike mows me down as I step out of the doorway of some business.

It’s not that the cyclist intended harm to me. He (or she) was just as surprised as I was. But what the hell were they doing riding a bike on the sidewalk?

If I survive the broken hip and whatever else may have given up in my old frame, this person may wind up paying me a nice additional pension for the rest of my life.

Bicycles are vehicles just like cars. They are subject to all the

laws that cars answer to. They do not belong on sidewalks. I just thought I’d mention.

In the meantime, I’ve noticed that by-laws are totally unenforced in our town. As far as traffic laws go, you seem to be able to do pretty well whatever you like. I would have thought that the local OPP would provide an example, at least to the public, but apparently not so.

I watched a pick-up truck pull over to the curb on a side street while a marked OPP cruiser stopped to talk to the driver.

But instead of pulling up on the opposite side of the street the cruiser ran up close to the pick-up on the wrong side so he could talk to the driver from his window, meanwhile completely blocking the eastbound lane of traffic. A fairly lengthy conversation followed.

I guess it doesn’t really matter much in our low traffic streets… it’s just the principal, don’t you think?

Deputation From Hydro One To The Township Of Manitouwadge Article by Lynn Cregheur On July 13th, Hydro One who is doing work in the region of Manitouwadge/ Hornepayne have presented a deputation in order to have the rights to land their helicopter at the Turner’s Bed and Breakfast where part of their crew are staying as well as their office base. The deputation explained their concern about public safety as well as their own. They explained the reasoning behind their need to land the helicopter at Turner’s Bed and Breakfast.

They mentioned of the cost saving that would be forward-

ed to the customer. In the deputation, they mentioned the safety procedures that would be taken for that fact.

On July 10th, over 30 residents and business owners assisted to the public municipal meeting in order to hear the outcome of the council’s decision. This community had a concern with this since at the deputation, it was suggested that if Hydro One could not land their helicopter where needed, they were to move their home base out of Manitouwadge and into another community.

This alone made the busi-

ness population very upset, since; Hydro One’s workers and staff used a lot of the town’s facilities and brought in a lot of money in the long run. This meant the residences such as the motel, bed and breakfast, rentals as well as, stores, shops, restaurants and so on; even the golf course, pool, fitness facilities and more were mentioned.

The town council clarified that this was not just a decision that they were totally responsible for. Hydro One had not applied to get a special permit from Transport Canada, who, for safety in

a community declines this demand. They would be flying over some residential area of the community. One of the councilor emphasized that a by-law for this particular subject was 29 years old and with all today’s changes and safety, it was time for a change and he asked as well about a temporary permit so that Hydro One can finish their contract while staying in the community. With their departure, it would affect the community, not for the better.

The votes were on the negative side. A silver lining to this story is that one solution

was offered. If Hydro One applies for a permit to the Township of Manitouwadge, this done through the proper channels, the mayor and councilors would change their minds for a positive vote.

Hydro One staff and workers are more than welcome in the community of Manitouwadge and the proper changes and demands when needed must be done accordingly in order to secure the safety of the population.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

BASIC BLACK

Arthur Black

Bad Coffee? Bean There, Drank That “It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.”

Dave Barry Amen to that, Dave. And since I have the floor I would like to posit a related query: Since when did coffee become a category of lifestyle expression?

Case in point: I'm standing at the counter in the local java hut facing a waitress – correction – blending barista -- who is taking the order of the person in front of me. It's early morning, I am bleary of eye, wobbly of knee and sluggish of disposition. I need a kick start.

Which means coffee. Hot. Black. In a mug.

End, as Tony Soprano would say, of story.

Except I can already see that it's not going to play out that way. The customer in front of me has his head tilted back; his index finger is drumming on his chin. He is clearly pondering. Never a good sign in a coffee shop.

“Hi,” the guy says. Then, “Could I have a triple soy macchiato half-decaf with extra foam and a shot of caramel at 120 degrees?”

And I suddenly feel very old. Old because I remember when – put down your cellphones and hang on to something solid kiddies because this is gonna rock your world – I remember when coffee – all coffee everywhere -- sold for ten cents a cup.

S'truth! I also remember moving to a remote city in Northern Ontario less than a hundred years ago and being gobsmacked when I ordered a coffee and looked at my bill.

Seriously? Could I really

have moved to a town where they charge TWENTY-FIVE CENTS for a cuppa coffee?

Innocent times. Fast forward a few decades and here I am shelling out two, four, even six bucks a pop without batting an eye.

Of course it's not quite the same cup of coffee. Back in the Bad Old Days the custom was to brew up a pot of coffee first thing in the morning, then leave it to simmer on the back burner all day long. By mid-afternoon you couldn't quite float a horseshoe in what oozed out of the pot – but almost.

It had the consistency (and taste) of industrial grade road tar. And today? Today apronclad baristas croon of “hints of candied peaches and raspberries” in Kenyan coffee, the “beguiling floral bouquets” emanating from Ethiopian brews or the “dense, chocolaty notes” to be found in Guatemalan blends.

And we're no longer slugging it back in chipped china mugs hunched over a counter at the local Greasy Spoon.

Now we're encouraged to rendezvous with our coffee in boutique-style 'roasteries' where, on especially sacred occasions, ecclesiastical baristas preside over coffee tastings (they're called 'cuppings') and pontificate on the finer points of coffee, from bean to cup.

It's all very twee and several light years away from the spoonful of Nescafe in a handleless mug that powered me through (okay, half-way through) college, but hey, it's all coffee. And as American filmmaker David Lynch says, “Even bad coffee is better than no coffee at all.

End, as Tony would say, of story.

An Olympic Close Call

The Rio Olympics are over now. Overall the organizing Committee is reporting it as a complete success. The closing ceremonies wrapped it up. There were a few glitches, controversies and security issues along the way, some of which were obvious, and impossible to hide.

I can now report a series of instances that could have been catastrophic if they had been successful. Fortunately for the Rio Organizing Committee and everyone else they were stopped, and amazingly were kept secret from the public. Of course, all of this was planned by ISIS operatives embedded in the Brazilian population. They had been there since 2014, and were just waiting for the word from their leaders to implement the plan.

It was a staggered attack over the two week period of the Olympics to keep everyone off balance and create the most confusion. Things included interrupting the opening ceremonies by switching some of the fireworks with explosives. That would create havoc, damage to the arena, and hopefully kill and injure many of the dignitaries and athletes gathered there, whether it be from the flying debris or people being trampled to death as they tried to escape the stadium.

At the same time, suicide bombers would attack the train system that took everyone between the various venues. More chaos and death there. Those were a cluster of action, but then there would be the lull for a couple of days until the next action. That included the poisoning of the water in the swimming pools and the food in the restaurants and venues, a poster campaign warning of a Zika outbreak, as declared by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, - false of course. The poster gave a location for vaccinations, and urged everyone to get it done immediately. Unfortunately the vaccine was actually a lethal dose of anthrax. By the time the authorities could refute the claims, the damage would have been done, and who knows how many deaths would have occurred.

Thee was even a plan to put explosives in the volleyballs, basketballs, and soccer balls, intended to explode when hit or kicked. The chaos and subsequent delays in inspecting the remaining balls would take time and money. With that on the the last day of competitions it would leave an indelible mark on the entire Olympics and Brazil, doing how much damage to both.

The security team that

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Wednesday, August 24th, 2016

discovered this plan were shocked, but grudgingly admitting it was very sophisticated military precision.

How this all came to be discovered and thwarted was a bit of luck and good timing, as often is the case. The security team that was headed up by Tomas Allegrino, the same man who saved the Olympic medals, as I reported last week. As I mentioned in my report, he ran a a security company. The organization of the medals was just a minor part of the operations.

His company had been hired by the military as part of the overall security coverage. His team was assigned as part of the protection of buildings in the area of the stadium.

On the Wednesday before the opening ceremonies, one of his men, Pedro Pinada, was wandering around on a smoke break when he came across a group of workers also taking a break. He walked over to join them. As part of the conversation, he casually asked them what the were working on, and joking about how close the bosses were cutting it to finish up everything, and getting a big bonus for getting everything in order, even though it was so close. He went on to comment that he bet they were not getting extra bonus for doing the work. They all laughed and agreed with him, that is except for one quiet comment that Pedro almost missed. That worker said it would all be coming down soon, and the bosses would have to give back their bonuses. That peaked Pedro's attention. Part of his training was to listen for peoples' comments and their body language. He asked this worker what he meant by that. He just shrugged his shoulders and said once the Olympics were over, a lot of the buildings would be converted to offices and condos. Pedro watched his facial expression, and he saw anger and a bit of nervousness. It also showed in his hands, as he made a fist with his left hand and flicked his cigarette on the ground.

He then quickly walked away from the group. Pedro knew that he had to check up on this guy. His instincts were aroused and he suspected there might be trouble with him. He asked one of the others who he was. One of them gave his name as Domino Martelissi. He was always spouting off strange comments like that, they added.

Don't mind him, he means no harm, they concluded.. He then said he had to get back to his rounds. He headed off in the same direction as Domino. He came across him talking furtively to another man by some scaffolding. The

other guy was pointing up to the roof area. Pedro saw that was where the fireworks were being set up for the opening ceremonies.

Domino then turned and pointed to a trailer parked nearby. The other guy nodded and then turned back to look up at the stadium again. He nodded once more, and put his right hand on Domino's shoulder.

Then he quickly walked away.

Pedro then approached him and asked who that was. He commented that he looked like one of the big bosses.

Domino hesitantly “Um, yeah. Just checking up on me.

He gave me my instructions for the work to be done this afternoon.” Pedro pressed: “Wasn't that Oscar Polio from Brazil Construction?” He quickly corrected Pedro: “No, that's Pascal Darfene from Rio Building & Condo Company.

That's the company I work for.

And I better get back to it, or I won't be hired for long.” He started climbing the scaffolding. Pedro moved along too, as he now had some checking up to do. He went back to the office and made some phone calls. That lead him to some computer searching. He was able to learn that Darfene was in financial difficulties until recently when he had a cash infusion from a numbered company in Switzerland. That certainly peaked his interest.

But he just happened to check the time, and realized it would be quitting time over at the stadium. He got the phone number and address of Domino. He drove to the stadium and was just in time to see him heading out. He walked for a way and then got on a bus. Pedro followed it until Domino got off. He walked a few blocks until he entered a rundown apartment complex near one of the flavelos. Pedro parked a few hundred meters down and began his stake out.

About seven he saw a steady procession of young men and a woman enter the building. He just knew they were going to see Domino.

This was obviously a clandestine meeting for preparing for something. He waited until about ten when it was finally dark before heading into the building. He found out his apartment number and quietly went up the creaky stairs.

He looked up and down the hall for the number, as well as for other tenants who might be popping out. He leaned against the door to listen to the voices inside. All he got was that everything was set for Friday night. Then it was 'Praise Be To Allah'. Th voices and commotion got loud, as he realized the meeting was breaking up. He quickly dashed down the stairs and got back to his car just as the first of the group came out.

Fortunately they all headed away from him.

He sat in his vehicle for awhile as he formulated his plan for the next step. It was to head home, get a few hours sleep, and then come

back and wait for Domino to leave for work. He would then break in and see what he could find. Even though it was late, he called his boss, Tomas, to let him know what he was up to. Tomas told him to be careful and update him as soon as he learned anything. Once everything was in place, he pulled out of his parking spot and headed home. Before he went to bed, he grabbed a piece of cold pizza and a beer. He also got his break and enter equipment ready, along with his listening device that he was going to plant in the apartment. He then set the alarm for four a.m. He headed to bed.

He got back to Domino's apartment about six the Thursday morning. Again he parked down from the building. He kept watch, and was getting concerned that maybe he had already left as it neared eight. He was just on the verge of getting out of his car and heading over when Domino came out. He looked furtively around before heading down the street towards the bus stop. Once he was out of sight, Pedro went into action.

He got to the apartment door, and quickly picked the flimsy lock, and entered the small dingy apartment. He looked around, methodically checking cupboards, etc. for clues.

He hit the jackpot in the bedroom when he opened the bed stand table. There were piles of paper rolled up with elastics. He took them out and laid them on the bed. He read the labels. They were named Stadium, Trains, Pool, Poisoning, Balls, and Zika.

He opened the Stadium one first. He was shocked to see all the details of the planned attack for the Friday night and the names of the participants. One name stuck out: Darfene. He knew it! He now remembered his name coming up in another case their company had investigated in Mexico. He was identified as a financial funnel for funds from ISIS in Syria to his company. The money was believed to be to pay operatives, and any expenses that came up to complete their operation.

Pedro now knew for sure big plans were in the works for the Olympics. He opened up the Train roll, and was reading the details when Domino came bursting into the room behind him. He had been so absorbed that he hadn't heard

him at all. He made a mental note of this slip up for future reference. Domino demanded to know what he was doing in his apartment. Pedro held up the roll he had in his hand.

These, he declared. Pedro saw the knife in Domino's left hand. As he lunged towards Pedro, he reached to his side, and pulled out his Luger and fired just as Domino got close enough to slash out at his chest. Domino missed Pedro, but he was luckier. The bullet shattered Domino's wrist. He dropped the knife and screamed out in pain.

Pedro stepped out of the way and his momentum caused Domino to fall face first onto the bed. Domino yanked the lamp off the table and tied Domino up as blood spewed from his shattered wrist. He rolled him over onto his side, and the interrogation began.

I won't report the details of how he got all the information out of him about these plots. Needless to say, he laid out the details. He also was 'persuaded' to open up his computer, and a lot more information was available there to help Pedro and the authorities out to foil the entire operation.

He called Tomas with the information. Tomas took over and alerted the military police. By Friday afternoon of the opening ceremonies, the entire ISIS operation had been shut down. They ensured it was completely covered up.

That evening as Tomas, Pedro and I watched it on the TV at their office, Tomas sadly commented that at least this had been one blow for ISIS but he was sure there would be more. Pedro and I agreed. Then Tomas added: “I hope there are no other surprises over these next two weeks.” Fateful words as it turned out. As I reported in last weeks' paper, the next night,Tomas was involved with the attempted theft of the Olympic medals.

Some days I wandered within deserts lost and alone, other days I effortlessly scaled majestic mountain tops. It has been a time of intense retrospection and introspection, but one of absolute Trust and Faith in God. And believe me that Trust and Faith is sorely tested at times. Try coordinating travel arrangements with family in different parts of the prov-

ince. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

In all ways, acknowledge him and he shall direct your Path”.

This is one of my favorite quotes from Proverbs 3 – 5 & 6. I’m reminded that disappointments are just God’s way of saying “This or something better”. I can’t wait to learn the better way.

Where else do I find God, find Love? God is everywhere but I have found the many ways to discover the Divine Love prevalent within our troubled world than at the Rio Olympics 2016. Wow! WE have witnessed the very best in our athletes, and the worst in some of the young people who have yet to learn Grace in losing. It is all Love! John 4:24 (Aramaic text) reports Jesus saying to a Samaritan woman that, “God

is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.” Many of these super talented young people have yet to discover the Spirit, the Truth, the Love that comes with loss and disappointment. But they will.

They are well on their way to discovering the greatest Gift of Spirit and Truth.

I will say that my Spirit and Truth runneth over. I’m sure I’m one of the most enthusiastic, noisy couch potatoes to ever watch our country’s efforts to win God, Bronze or Silver, or simply to give their very best in trying. Oh my goodness, my throat feels raw, my head is filled with joy and thanksgiving. My heart feels so full for those that exceeded their expectations and for those who gave their all for our Canada.

And then there is the anger

and resentment from the negative factions of society, the strong forces that attempt to suppress the rising Spirit, the many who do not want this display of amazing athletic endeavor to happen in Rio. And yes, there are the poor souls who do not yet know God. In closing I share with you a wonderful poem from Rumi’s Love Poems – Looking for Love A strange passion is moving in my head.

My heart has become a bird which searches in the sky.

Every part of me goes in different directions.

Is it really so that the one I Love is everywhere? ‘til next time…this is Joan

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.

Carol Hughes, M.P. Algoma-ManitoulinKapuskasing

The Most Indebted Generation In Canadian History As we prepare for another school year, I can’t say I envy anyone counselling a young adult on how to proceed after high school. They must be conflicted by consistent statistics that show how higher education can lead to record debt while not necessarily providing the kind of opportunity expected from such a significant investment. While we have been seized with the issue for years, a new report from Oxfam confirms that Canadian youth are earning less, employed less, and carrying the burden of a record amount of debt once they

graduate. This, despite clear promises made to Canadian youth in last autumn’s election, shows that nothing much has changed and some of those promises have vanished into thin air.

If it were simple enough to merely bypass higher education and avoid debt, more Canadians would choose that path. However higher education is important for a lot of jobs that our society and economy depend on. For students who can pay out of pocket the choices are easier since they avoid paying interest on debt. The Oxfam

report explains that students who borrow to bank-roll their education pay up to 40% more than those who can afford tuition.

There would be less of a problem if the indebted students were able to use their degree to quickly find suitable employment, but that isn’t the case. Today’s young graduates are dealing with more part-time, precarious employment that pays less and offers little in the way of security. Oxfam tells us that the unemployment rate for this group in Canada runs double the national average.

If debt is a large part of the problem, we have to look at how tuition plays into the equation and, according to Oxfam, it is a growing part of the phenomenon. They tell us that undergrad tuition has tripled over the last 20 years. This can be directly linked to the crippling debt

many graduates carry and forces one to wonder how other countries can provide tuition-free post-secondary education. Norway, Sweden and Germany are comparable countries that offer free tuition for higher education to their citizens. For those who are worried that people would take advantage of this, there are ways to ensure that won’t occur. Among the simplest is to require students being granted this opportunity to maintain their grades.

Still, tuition is only a part of the problem and the stubbornly under-performing job market for young Canadians should be seen as the more immediate challenge.

Apart from less work in general and the shift towards part-time and precarious work for more young Canadians, Oxfam also tells us that this age group is being paid less than they were thirty

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

years ago. This shouldn’t be a surprise since it is the direction that the market place has been steadily moving for that same period of time. Think of how many disputes have been settled by changing the rules for younger workers about to enter the work force. Defined contribution pensions might lead the list, but there are other ways that the current work force has hobbled those about to follow.

That means students who carry an average $30,000 debt after completing a four year degree are being asked to accept less, pay more, and still maintain a tax base that allows for all the conveniences of a modern state.

Not only is that unfair, it is also a big gamble and surely we need to shift this burden before it becomes even more of a crisis.
