Back To School – The Buses Are Back!

Rec Winners, "Old Fockers"

2nd Annual Tri-Sport Weekend Summer Never Ends Article & photos by Barb Fisher Well, here we are going into September and still attending community events; never a dull moment in Wawa. This is the second time that our community's athletes have joined forces with our neighbours, in hosting the 2nd Annual Tri-Sport Weekend, this year hooking up with some fine athletes from Dubreuilville and Chapleau.

Baseball, hockey and golf are the advertised sports, but skill, stamina, a little luck and friendly rivalry were the hit of the games.

Hosted by Dylan Buckell and Chris Simon and sponsored by Wesdome, proceeds raised in the Sport Weekend will help our all girl hockey team, the Mustangs who are growing in numbers and skill entering their third season this year.

Enrollment with the Mustangs increase each year and this year more than 20 girls are expected to register. The Peewee division aged 11 and 12 is showing promise to form a travelling team to face off with other area towns, and hope to go to the Ontario Women's Hockey Association Provincials in March next year.

The sporting action got underway Friday and continued all day Saturday with 120 athletes forming 10 different teams in one of the three divisions, Rec, Women and Open, each team playing two games each of Baseball and Hockey.

I mingled a bit with the ball team just finishing their game before settling to watch my favourite women's team. I asked one unfamiliar face as to which team he represented. As he

Open Winners, "Small Ballers" caught his breath and wiped the sweat from his brow, he explained that he was an out-oftowner, but I had to gently correct him, ahem, I believe that is "Focker" with an "o"! And so the weekend unfolded with great displays of athleticism amongst the good times enjoyed by all.

The Baseball rules were slightly altered to give a more level playing field so that no matter what the individual end of game score was, when all points were tallied, everyone had a shot at taking the gold. Umpire Christian Lapointe did an amazing job of keeping everyone focused and staying within the time slot alloted. After the games it was time to freshen up, spruce up, and catch up with all the blow by blow action at the curling arena, swinging to the great tunes of Sound Waves by DJs James and Samantha Stewart. That is, the athletes that were not at home with icepacks strapped to their lower backs!

The last event golf, got underway Sunday morning under threatening rain. Teams were staggered over the nine holes and rotated until each team had played nine holes, and in good time in mid afternoon everyone gathered in the club house to brag about their golfing expertise, or not.

Scott Carruthers thanked the many people and volunteers that pulled together another

Women Winners, "Tri Hard-Her"

successful event for everyone's enjoyment.

Cash prizes were awarded: - Recreation Category, first place went to the Old Fockers and second place to the team Wawa.

- Women's Category, first place was clinched by Tri Hard-Her and second place to Moose on the Loose.

- Open Category was won by the Small Ballers with Fresh Prince of Briere coming in by a close second.

When covering news events in our town, I am always in awe of the strength behind the scenes - that of our untiring volunteers. Outstanding accolades go out to Dylan Buckell, Scott Carruthers and their team of helpers who again have put Wawa's name on the map - little town, big talent, great community builders. When all the dust, ice spray and divots settle, everyone is a winner.

ADVANCED DEADLINE

Due to Labour Day on Monday, Sept. 5th, all newspaper advertising and news must be in our hands by 1:00 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 2nd in order to appear in the following Wednesday’s newspaper (Sept. 7th issue).

We will be CLOSED on Monday, Sept. 5th for Labour Day!

With a new school year quickly approaching, the Canada Safety Council would like to remind drivers to be extra cautious as school buses return to the roads.

Despite it being an annual occurrence, the return of school buses often brings about episodes of impatience, confusion regarding some of the rules of the road and a spike in fatalities and injuries among young pedestrians from September to November.

With this context in mind, here are a few tips to ensure that everyone, from you to the littlest bus rider to the driver getting them to school, is staying safe on the roads: • Leave yourself a bit of extra time to get wherever you’re going. Being in a rush is no excuse for disobeying the rules of the road and endangering the lives of others.

• When a bus has its arm extended and flashing lights, stop. It’s the law. Do not proceed until the lights are turned off, as there may still be children coming or attempting to cross the street. In most cases, traffic in both directions must stop unless separated by a median.

• Slow down in school zones.

Be vigilant and careful in residential areas where children are present as well.

Moving slowly and predictably can help children feel more at ease and make them less likely to try and rush.

• Avoid doing manoeuvres like three-point turns and U-turns in school zones.

Children are often unfamiliar or simply not expect-

ing these, which can cause them to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as a result.

• Always obey crossing guards and signage, especially as it relates to pedestrians and school zones.

• Give cyclists a wide berth.

Many jurisdictions require a minimum distance of one metre. Additionally, shoulder check before opening your door to ensure you don’t accidentally open it in a cyclist’s path.

• If you’re able, choose public transportation or an active form of transportation. If you’re in a position to leave the car at home, the roads are made that much more safer for its more vulnerable users.

Additionally, for parents driving their children to school, be sure to never let your child out of the car when they’ll be getting off into traffic. Make sure they’re stepping out onto a sidewalk or away from the flow of traffic. Also, consider driving a block or so away from the school and walking with your child, in order to reduce congestion around the school area. This will also make the bus drivers’ jobs a bit easier.

The Canada Safety Council wishes you a happy fall and an eventless return to school. Let’s all do our part to keep the roads safe for everyone.

10th International Mines Rescue Competition Canadian Mine Rescue Team Best In The World Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA, August 19 to 26, 2016 - Mine rescuers from Kirkland Lake Gold were crowned world champions by Workplace Safety North and Ontario Mine Rescue as the overall winners of the 10th International Mines Rescue Competition (IMRC2016Canada) at the closing ceremonies in Sudbury Friday evening.

During the competition August 19 to 25, 27 mine rescue teams from 13 nations around the world were evaluated on their firefighting skills, first aid response, high angle rope rescue skills, use of emergency equipment, and decisionmaking ability under stress in a simulated underground emergency.

The international competition, held for the first time in Canada, is organized every two years to provide an opportunity for mine rescue organizations to share and improve mine rescue knowledge and practices through global cooperation.

Previous IMRCs have been held around the world including Europe, Asia and Australia.

The Kirkland Lake, Ontario, team of Terry McKnight, Jonathan Boutin, Hubert Gour, Alex Thompson, Norm Gannon Jr., Jason Dicaire, Ben Young, Lynne Thompson, and Scott Gillett, became the first Canadian team to win the event.

Ireland’s Boliden Tara Mines finished second, while the KGHM White Eagles, of Poland finished third in the overall competition.

Kirkland Lake also won the Underground Emergency Simulation event, beating second-place Compass Minerals Goderich Mine, this year’s Ontario Mine Rescue champion, and Boliden Tara Mines in third.

During the underground emergency scenario five-member teams had to build a wall in a smoke-filled, heated environment to change mine ventilation due to a fire, and find two missing miners. One of the miners was found impaled on a length of rebar, further challenging teams’ first aid skills.

Compass Minerals Goderich Mine won the Theory event in which team members are tested on their knowledge of mine gases, firefighting, and emergency response activities.

Two other Canadian teams also earned honours.

Cameco McArthur River from Saskatchewan placed second in

the high angle rope rescue event, and third in the firefighting and first aid events. Hometown favourites, Vale’s Sudbury West Mines placed third in high angle rope rescue and theory events.

IMRC2016-Canada was hosted by Workplace Safety North and Ontario Mine Rescue, and sponsored by including Vale, Goldcorp, Glencore, KGHM, Draeger, Equivital, the City of Greater Sudbury, and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund.

New Driver Licence Fee Comes Into Effect September 1 Province Maintaining Transportation Infrastructure

Progress On North Algoma Health Steering Committee’s Health Improvement Initiatives

h

eG

TRA

T

The North Algoma Health Needs Assessment (NAHNA) is now in the Implementation stage of the project and after 2 years of consultations and a Health Needs Assessment in five communities, several recommendations for improvements have been identified.

Over the summer all communities tackled the issue of “awareness of programs and services.” Across all demographics, and in all 5 communities, the survey identified that people are not sure who does what and where to go for services. In Wawa, The Seniors Solution Council, Wawa Economic Development and the Canadian Red Cross hosted a very successful Seniors Expo. The expo was attended by 26 health care providers and businesses that cater to seniors. It was attended by 123 seniors and their families.

The Corporation of the Township of Dubreuilville is developing an Age-Friendly Action Plan that will promote awareness of resources available for seniors in Dubreuilville and area. They are hosting a Seniors Expo on Saturday September 10th as well that will run in conjunction with the Strong Man competition.

Regarding medical costs, the township is working with other northern municipalities to lobby for a less restrictive KM reimbursement. People who must access health care for regular bloodwork but are just under the 100 km limit can recover some of the costs associated with travel.

This summer all five communities invested in improving services signed a letter asking businesses, which provide accommodation near the Sault Area Hospital, to consider costs for obstetric patients who need extended stays. Aside from costs, an accommodation inventory should include a kitchenette

option for expectant mothers who must bring other children or family members.

Social issues around youth health and wellness were identified in the needs assessment and were also addressed this summer. All relevant parties formed a committee to share successes and build on those for future youth activities.

Priority Assistance to Transition Home (PATH) is a program that also started this summer. It can reduce re-admissions of frail, elderly patients by providing; transportation home, picking up prescriptions, settling in at home, providing a snack or meal and some light housekeeping upon their return from a hospital stay.

Aside from all the work that has been done, the steering committee is ready to meet on September 7th to discuss each stakeholders progress and continue to develop a work-plan that will hold all members accountable for the improvement of health services in their own area. Jennifer McKenzie our NE LHIN resource person, who has assisted us through most of the project, will be in attendance on September 7th.

Jennifer was instrumental in pulling together our communities in 2013 and guided us through the North East Rural Communities Framework for Improved Health Services.

She is currently helping us develop an ongoing workplan that will see us through to completion in December 2016.

Monthly meetings of the steering committee are open to the public and we encourage anyone who has questions regarding the recommendations put forward, contact a representative on the committee or attend in person.

Meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month at 9:30 a.m. at the LDHC in the downstairs boardroom.

NUTS ‘N’ BOLTS

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

The One That Didn’t Get Away I overheard a small group of people talking the other day.

One lady said, “Are you off work today?” A man’s voice answered, “Yes. I’m off for three weeks”.

I knew, just by the tone of his voice that this must be the first or second day of his holiday. It was said with an almost breathless tone that told me he was feeling pretty good about the idea. It said, “I’ve got an endless amount of time ahead of me in which I can do anything I want.

I can sleep in, stay up late, go on a trip, lay around in the back yard and watch the grass grow, anything I want”.

The tone was unmistakable.

I have a nearly endless stretch in front of me that’s ALL MINE! I remember that feeling well. Of course that last week before the holiday started always felt like it was a least fifteen days long.

“My God! Will it never end?”

But the holiday will end, as all holidays do, and before you know it you are at the last day before you must return to work. You can literally see the hour hand of the clock spinning down your last hours of freedom. Back to work tomorrow.

Gahh!

But the memories of some of those holidays remain. I have to admit that a good number of

those wonderful free times have not stuck in my brain as anything particularly memorable.

Most have disappeared into the past without any remarkable moments. Some of the best though were those I elected to spend with my Dad. There’s just something about a fatherson relationship after you have attained enough maturity to understand your Dad and a little of how he thinks.

Some of the best moments in my life were spent doing nothing more than sitting by a fire on an isolated lakeshore and talking.

I do recall one trip that was not quite as nice. Dad invited along a friend from Indonesia now living in Canada. I’ll call him Joe. Joe was delighted at the invitation and accepted the idea of a camping/fishing trip into the wilds of Canada. He seemed a man of some experience. A hunter of lions in his youth. Also Joe had been interned in a work camp by the Japanese during the war.

He had the misfortune of being white-skinned as the result of a mixed marriage. He and his wife immigrated to Canada in the mid-fifties.

So Joe and Dad and I headed north on what was to be a week in the bush. First night we

stopped at Martin River and Joe immediately noticed blackflies.

It was July and Joe was dressed in netted hat, long sleeves, high boots and whatever else he could find to cover all exposed skin.

But nothing seemed to work for him and a litany of complaints began that didn’t let up until we returned to Barrie six days later.

Poor Dad. I watched him become more and more disturbed as Joe moaned on. “For god’s sake”, Dad muttered. “He spent time in the jungle hunting lions. I didn’t think he’d be such a baby!”

One afternoon Dad and Joe left in the boat to go to one of Dad’s secret fishing spots.

It crossed my mind as they left that I hoped both of them would return. As I straightened up around camp that day I decided to throw a line into the mouth of a creek we were near.

I got an almost instant hit on a lure and reeled in a five or six pound pike. I cleaned it up and put it aside for supper should the guys come back empty handed. When they did return I knew things had not gone well. My Dad was silent.

My Dad was NEVER silent … and I had the only fish. He never said a word.

That fish stayed in my mind above all others.

News From The Park Michael Mantha MPP

Back-to-school ads have hit the papers and airwaves and parents and children are beginning to make plans for the “new-year” and getting back into familiar routines. For MPPs this includes meeting with provincial and municipal leaders at the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), held this year in Windsor. The AMO Conference brings together over 1700 participants from provincial and municipal governments to discuss and plan for the many challenges facing municipalities in Ontario.

This year’s sessions included topics such as infrastructure funding and planning, service sharing and rural economic development. I had the opportunity to meet with leaders from various AlgomaManitoulin communities and utilized many opportunities to discuss issues with various ministry representatives.

I always attend this annual conference to ensure that Northern Ontario continues to exhibit a united presence and strong voice.

This summer, energy continues to be a major concern for Ontarians - both hydro and natural gas. I’m sure you heard that once again, despite running on a ticket of transparency, the Liberals and Glenn Thibeault, the

new Minister of Energy, have fully endorsed the decision to bury Ontario’s cap-andtrade plan in the “delivery line” on natural gas bills.

The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) announced that costs related to this new tax would not appear as an individual item on bills to consumers but rather be folded to appear as part of a delivery charge.

Other provinces such as Quebec and British Columbia, which have the same tax, ensured the amount appears in energy bills on its own line for consumers to clearly understand what they are paying.

The Liberals are trying to hide behind the OEB and blaming them for this decision. However it is clearly the government’s obligation to do the right thing and be transparent on this new charge.

It’s funny that back when the government instituted a 10 per cent discount on hydro bills that the Liberals insisted the OEB list it as a separate item. Yet the Premier and Energy Minster claim to continue to honour their promise to be transparent with the people of Ontario. However, Ontarians know better.

My office continues to be overwhelmed by appeals from Northerners who say they can’t afford to pay their hydro bills. People are being

What To Do If You Find A Sick, Injured Or Abandoned Wild Animal

If you see what you think may be a sick, injured or abandoned animal, don’t remove it from its natural habitat. It may not need assistance and you could do more harm trying to help.

Determining if Wildlife is abandoned Some species leave their offspring alone temporarily, especially during the day. For example, deer and cottontail rabbits spend much of the day away from their well-camouflaged offspring to minimize the chance of predators finding them.

To determine if a young animal has been abandoned, check it periodically for 24 to 48 hours to see if it is still around. Keep your distance.

Keep cats and dogs away from the area. The adult animal may not return if it is noisy or if predators or people are close by.

Figuring out what to do Contact your local Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry office to learn more about what you can do to help: • Visit ontario.ca/mnrfoffices to contact your local district office • Call the Natural Resources Information Centre at 1-800-667-1940 from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• View the rescue a sick, injured or abandoned wild animal webpage • View a list of wildlife rehabilitators who have agreed to have their contact information included on the ministry’s website.

Signs of Injury or Illness • Blood, wounds or swelling on the body

• •

Page 5

Body covered in fleas Unusual or uneven loss of fur or feathers • Substantial hair loss or with visible winter ticks • Difficult or raspy breathing or sneezing • A dangling leg or wing • Closed eyes and head tucked under wing Care Necessary to Help the Animal • You cannot keep wildlife in captivity without approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. However, a person may temporarily possess a wild animal for up to 24 hours to transport it to a wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian.

• Contact a wildlife rehabilitator who can help you assess the situation and provide advice on what to do.

• In rare circumstances, immediate and specialized care is necessary to help an animal. If specialized care is needed for a wild animal, take it to a wildlife rehabilitator or a veterinarian within 24 hours.

• Take care in handling any wild animal. If you must handle the animal, follow the instructions provided by the wildlife rehabilitator on how to minimize risk of injury to yourself and to the animal.

• Wear protective clothing and equipment, such as leather gloves, to avoid bites or scratches, and wash hands after handling the animal.

It is important to recognize that many volunteer-operated wildlife rehabilitation organizations have limited capacity to accept animals, especially in the spring.

Diseased or Dead Wildlife • To report dead animals, including birds or bats, contact the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative at www. cwhc-rcsf.ca/ by email at on-nu@cwhc-rcsf.ca or by calling 1-866673-4781.

• If you suspect there is a public health risk from a sick wild animal, such as rabies, or you or your pet had contact with a suspected rabid animal, contact your local Public Health Unit immediately.

For more information, call ServiceOntario toll-free at 1-866-532-3161.

• If left untreated, rabies is fatal for humans and animals.

• Symptoms of rabies and several other diseases in animals can include tremors, aggressive behaviour, partial paralysis, convulsions, and loss of fear of humans.

You're Not God – Thank God! What's that you say? Your kids are lippy, the Toyota won't start, you can't find your glasses and the dog is doing yoga skids across the living room rug? You think you've got troubles, pal?

Just thank god you're not God. Never mind the big stuff he's got on his plate – the UK committing Brexit hara-kiri, Venezuela dissolving, Russia and North Korea under the jackboot of psychopaths – one who looks like a lemur, the other like a renegade puppet from Sesame Street.

Never mind that Iceland -- Iceland! --put the boots to England on the international soccer pitch or the fact that America is seriously considering a lunatic in an orange fright wig for the top job in the country – never mind all that farcicality piling up in God's In Basket...

Consider Mary Lou Bruner.

Ms. Bruner has spent 36 years as a teacher and a counsellor. She has a master's degree in English. She has also run for election to the East Texas Board of Education.

She wanted the job of determining content in East Texas school textbooks because she believes President Obama is a drug-using gay prostitute who “hates all white people and all wealthy people”.

She refers to the president of her country as 'Ahab the Arab', wants Islam banned and believes Climate Change is 'a ridiculous hoax' originated by Karl Marx.

And here's the bad news for God – Mary Lou Bruner identifies as a card-carrying, Bible thumping, 'til-death-us-dopart Christian.

Bad enough God has a foaming-at-the-mouth whack job like Mary Lou tugging at

the hem of his robes. He's also got to deal with Luis Roldan Patino, a priest in the parish of Xestoso in northern Spain.

He is seeking divine intervention to patch up the parish potholes.

Verdad! Father Patino went so far as to splash holy water on various road craters around his church claiming that asking God to do roadwork is just as feasible as “praying to the Lord for rain”.

And then there's the guy in Israel who wants to take God to court. According to a report in the Times of Israel a tickedoff Israeli has petitioned Haifa Magistrate's Court to issue a restraining order against God. He complained that over the past three years the Almighty has exhibited “a seriously negative attitude” towards him – a behaviour the plaintiff wants to cease forthwith.

No word yet on who'll be representing God if it comes to trial.

He could send his son of course, but we know how that worked out last time.

Reminds me of the story of a burglar who broke into a house late one night and was going through the dresser drawers when suddenly he heard a voice: “GOD IS WATCHING YOU.” He froze, peered into the darkness, then whispered “Who's there?”

Again the voice: “GOD IS WATCHING YOU.” The burglar shines his flashlight in the direction of the voice and sees a Blue-Fronted Amazon perched in a cage.

“What the hell?” says the burglar, “You're just a lousy parrot!”

“YES,” says the parrot, “AND 'GOD' IS THE FAMILY ROTTWEILER.”

“Serving the Northern Shores of Superior Best!”

News From The Food Bank

Summer 2016 Update

Hee Haw, Winnie’s Red Neck Festival Has Arrived In White River

Article & photos by Lynn Cregheur No clouds, rain, wind or cold has stopped this Northern Ontario community to celebrate their 28th Anniversary of The Winnie the Pooh Festival.

And yes, Winnie the Pooh is a native of the community of White River and worth celebrating.

This was quite the busy place with some very important people and of course the little guy himself, Winnie the Pooh.

Under the fluff was a lady by the name of Debbie Hoffman with a huge heart for Winnie the Pooh. Her and her husband Gary are from Wichita, Wisconsin and has been participating in the Winnie the Pooh Festival for the past 7 years.

She holds the Guinness Book Record for having the biggest Winnie the Pooh collection in the world. They have a DJ business and has offered their services every year.

Other important people that had a blast were MPP Michael Mantha, who could not resist trying one of the many children blow-up games. He said that he has tried to participate at as many festivals in his riding as possible in order to meet his constituency, as well as checking the conditions of the northern roads in his riding. He could not believe the conditions of some of them. This is one of the reasons why he drives every where. This winter won’t be any different. He could not believe the neglect done on some of these roads.

We cannot forget our CFNO morning man, Al Cresswell, who was on location letting the listeners know what was happening in White River.

Big and small were spotted wearing cowboy hats and really following the theme. Pony rides for all were available as well as some wild animals such as a skunk, porcupine, a small coyote and even a snake. Different shows were enjoyed by all. Lets

not forget the street dance, talent show and the fireworks to officially start off the great weekend.

A special presentation was held for the Spadoni family, who had been in White River since 1901. They sold their business for a very well deserved retirement. Present were Wilma (Spadoni), husband Vaughn Belisle and matriarch, Carmella Belisle. White River mayor, Angelo Bazzoni pre-

sented a certificate of appreciation for their years of commitment to the community.

Michael Mantha also presented a certificate from the province for generations of hard workers in their community. Words could not express the feeling that they felt. Tears came while Wilma and Carmella tried to thank the community. The new owners of the Spadoni Home Hardware are now, Hati and Gideon Tigere.

This was a full-filled weekend for the entire community as well as all of the visitors who enjoyed the trade show as well.

The Food Bank has an abundance of thanks to offer community members, businesses and organisations.

Donations in many forms have been gratefully received including food and practical items, gift cards and even boards cut to measure for plots at the Community Garden.

The volunteers sincerely thank Calvary Church, Home Building Centre, Tim Horton’s, Norma Kauk, Lynn Lavigne and the Wawa Music Festival, Anne Owen and St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Joey Ralph, Susan and Terry Switzer, and Tamarack Camp on Kabenung Lake.

SUBWAY and Valu Mart continue as valued sponsors, helping us in many ways.

A special thank you is for Cindy Szekely for her determined and solo effort at building, planting and har-

vesting garden plots for Food Bank use.

Many thanks as well to Wawa Salmon Derby officials and to participants who donated salmon and lake trout for our patrons. This fresh fish is a highly prized and rare addition to the diets of those we assist.

Wawa Family Health Team continues to provide valuable services at the Food Bank site.

Our clients are very fortunate to receive regular diabetes testing and information from Renee Mellish and social work intervention and counselling from Laurie Cavan. This fall we look forward to the addition of a nursing clinic to further attend to the health needs of vulnerable people.

It is only with the support of the community that the Food Bank can continue to deliver healthy food choices to those in need.

Terrorist Attack At The Toronto CNE

This is my Diary for posterity: Friday, Aug. 12/16. It's that time of the year – the Toronto CNE is on again for another year.

That signals another school year is not far away. It should be an interesting first day back at my school in Kingston, if things work out the way I expect.

This year it will be remembered for something else, if the plan succeeds. I'll tell you outright – I am planning to plant a couple of bombs there on opening day, just to create some death & destruction and make a statement of warning about the ISIS jihad coming to Canada.

I have studied the two brothers who planted their bombs in pack sacks along the street there in Boston a couple of years ago during the Marathon.

They had the desired effect all right. It was just their lack of preparation for escaping unnoticed afterwards that messed them up. It won't happen to me. I have learned from their mistakes. I have come up with a disguise that I can quickly pull off and transform into a second one. In our team is a master sewer who has created a reversible jumpsuit. One side is sewn to look like a light summer jacket and shorts. All I have to do is undo the velcro seam, and it reverses into short-sleeved shirt and full leg khaki pants. He has also created a reversible wig as well. One side resembles long brown hair, and the other side is a black brushcut style. It has an elastic band that sticks to my head effortlessly, and is easy to switch in just a couple of seconds. And of course eyeglasses which are easily taken on and off as required.

The bomb making expert on our team has outdone himself this time. He has made two of them. It's really ingenious, I think. The one for the food building is in the shape of a banana. To set the timer off all I do is peel it, about half way down. The timer and detonator are in the base. The timer is set for one minute, which will give me lots of time to get out of the building. It looks so innocent, a man sitting on a bench eating a banana in a food setting, and then putting the leftover part in a paper bag, and leaving it there. We all know how lazy people are about disposing of their garbage.

The second bomb I am setting up by the ferris wheel ride.

It always has lots of people lined up to get on it. Once the base is blown out, the folks up at the top will have a terrifying fall to the ground as it topples over. The guts for the bomb are inserted inside an electrical box, with a three-foot length of wire coming out from it. The idea is to lay the box beside the other wires laying around the ride and stretch out the wire to make it

all look like part of the entire electrical panel. The timer is placed on the back of the box.

Once I set the timer, I will lay it on the ground, with it hidden underneath. All very inconspicuous. I will be long gone by the time it goes off. I am going to put a strip of masking tape on the flat part of the electrical box and one on the metal fencing surrounding the ride. They will know it was inspired by ISIS, who I have pledged allegiance to. They have the right idea to make the world a better place. It isn't going to be too much of an impact, like our brethren did in France, Belgium., Switzerland and the U.S. Our terrorism network is spreading like wildfire throughout the world, just as our supreme ruler has told us for years. Except for the attack on Parliament Hill, we have been pretty quiet here in Canada. Hopefully my small explosions will ignite a bigger uprising. At least doing this at the CNE, I should get some much needed exposure, if nothing else. Hopefully there will be enough damage and injuries to visitors to make a bigger story headline. I will update this diary when I get back, Allah be willing!

Now for some background of who I am, and how I ended up here.

I was born Nathan Whitehead, son of a wealthy bank executive, Jack Whitehead.

My mother is a professor of economics at the University of Toronto. I was born into privilege and money was never a problem. But paradoxically, that has been the problem. We had servants who were smuggled into Canada from Haiti, and paid a paltry wage, if you could call it that. They were basically live in slaves. They were at my parents beck and call, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Mind you they were treated reasonably well, as they lived in a lovely servants quarters, and always had nice clothes/uniforms and were well fed. But they were not allowed TV's or phones – anything that connected them to the outside world. The gardener had a tough job of keeping flowers growing in the greenhouse, and landscaping the yard. My mother was very demanding, and I often heard her chastising him for any minor detail, such as the tulips not blooming on May first as she had requested – as if he could command flowers to bloom on any day she wanted. She gave him a hard time often on the flower selection for the bouquets she wanted placed around the house. Hector was near tears most of the time. I don't know how he put up with it, but yet he didn't have the resources to leave, so he had to put up with it.

The head cook also had a difficult time too, even worse than Hector. Ophelia had to put up with abuse over every meal. My mother always found something to complain about each time. For breakfast, for example, it would be that the toast was cold, the orange juice was too warm, the bacon and sausage were underdone or overdone. Lunch would be such things as the salad was too soggy, the soup was too salty or too bland, the parfait was too sweet, and so on. Supper was a hay day for mother. So much to complain about there. The serving servants always got her wrath too. No one was safe.

My father wasn't around that much, and when he was, he hardly ever had any time for me, except to order me to bed at eight when I was young, and hassle me about my attitude when I was older. I remember at breakfast, which really was the time that I saw him the most, he had his head stuck in the Globe & Mail newspaper, going through the financial news.

When I was old enough to go to school, they shipped me off to a prestigious private school in Kingston. I was glad to get away from them, so don't feel bad for me. It's just that I got the impression from both mother and father that money could buy anything. My eyes were sure opened when I got away from their influence.

Well, during the year there when I was sixteen years old, I happened to meet up with a student from Pakistan, Paswal Infora. We became friends.

One night he took me to a meeting that changed my life.

The guest speaker was Osama bin-Nedal. He was a recruiter for ISIS. He gave a riveting account of what was wrong with Western society, and how they were going to defeat them, and install an Islamic Caliphate state where true justice would be meted out, and poverty and wealth would be evened out, so all men would have equal wealth, and although women would be treated as inferiors at the beckon of their male master, they would be well taken care of. That part worried me, but I agreed with the rest of his thesis. So after the meeting adjourned, I joined up.

Over the next few months, I was at a training camp up in the Muskokas every weekend. It was a nice swanky 'cottage' with a huge forested area behind it, on Lake Joseph that was owned by a well known surgeon, Dr. Khadar Mohammedin, who was also a secret member. It gave us lots of room and privacy to do our training unnoticed. I thought it was poetic justice that we would be training to take down all this power and wealth right in their own backyard.

I graduated last year with full marks, by my ISIS teachers. I was assigned an appropriate name for the honour of being the top graduate – Alli elBarabba. They advised me that they would be in touch once my services were needed. This April, I got the okay to implement the plan. I am in my final

year of the private school in Kingston. My parents have had me come home for the summer.

It is now opening day of the CNE. It is also my big day.

I have gone over every detail, and am sure the plan will work.

Last night the other supporting team members checked out their parts, and are also sure it is infallible. Then they had to say that it was all up me now. I suddenly had a case of nerves.

This morning I had a good breakfast, said my prayers, and got into my 'costume'. I had to laugh in delight that I am doing this right under the roof of my parents, who I am striking out against for the better good.

Thankfully my parents are both away on vacation at their annual golf tour in the States with their snobby friends. So I had the place to myself. Just before I left, I went to the kitchen and gave all the staff $100 each to use as they saw fit. I also told them to take the rest of the day off, and get out of the house and do something exciting.

They thanked me profusely. I left them with the word that better times would be coming soon. They looked puzzled at my comment, but I knew they would get it soon...

I am finishing the rest of these entries much later, as you will understand after you have read this...

I headed out about one in the afternoon. I parked my Ferrarimy 16th birthday present - at the GO station, and took the train into town. I blended in pretty well, I think. My plastic shopping bag looks innocent enough, even though there are two bombs packed inside. Of course, as I said earlier they look like a banana and an electrical box.

It is now about three, and I got inside without any problem.

To my delight, there was lots of people mulling around. As part of my training, I looked at them as necessary martyrs for the jihad.

I made my way into the food building first. I found a table to sit at, and I got out my banana bomb. I took my time getting it ready. When I estimated the crowd was big enough, I set the timer and laid it on the table, covered in a Tim Horton's brown paper bag.

I counted out the minute that I had to get out of the building.

I was getting along quite well until I got near the entrance.

There was a surge of incoming people that I had to fight against, like a fish swimming upstream. To my horror and dismay, I spotted our gardener, Hector, in the crowd. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to warn him, but that would mess up the timing of the plan. But I didn't want him to get hurt or killed on my account. That was not part of the plan. But I kept pushing myself towards the exit. By the time I got outside, I counted 35 seconds. I turned around, looking back at the building, waiting for the explosion. Finally at 60 seconds I heard a slight popping sound, like a firecracker going off. I got a puzzled look on my face. There should have been a larger explosion than that. But

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

I didn't have any time to waste by going back inside to check it out. I had to get over to the rides to get my second bomb ready to detonate. The plan is to have it go off about 20 minutes after the first one. I got there shortly, and sneaked behind a trailer and switched my costume around, now with the khaki pants and dark haired wig. Then I popped out and moved toward my target.

As expected there was quite a lineup for the Ferris Wheel ride.

Nobody was looking behind the ride where I was getting set up. I got out my electrical box bomb out of the plastic bag, and placed it down beside a steel barrier that was meant to keep people away from the electrical wires laying on the ground.

I blended my bomb with the the other wires and electrical cords, got my crude ISIS labels stuck on, and finally set the timer for 40 seconds. I stepped away, and headed to one of the portable toilets to take off my 'costume' and stuff it down the toilet. That would leave me in my regular clothing and hair. To my dismay, all the toilets were occupied. I turned back to the Ferris Wheel, preparing for the coming blast that would topple the ride over, smashing into the crowd. It would be carnage and chaos. I smiled as I waited.

This was my only glitch in the plan, but just a minor setback, I assured myself.

Then the bomb went off.

Only it was only a little puff, like a firecracker – in fact it sounded just like the one that went off in the food building.

I was horrified. We had checked the bombs out many times, and tested them meticulously for flaws. These ones were identical to all the others that had successfully detonated at our training facility.

Then I saw six security guards, and two regular cops heading my way. I was frozen to the spot. I didn't want to run. That would alert them to me for sure. But I didn't want to stand still either, and have them arrest me without incident. I knew that I should begin walking towards them – meet them head on. Hopefully I could walk right by them without them knowing it was me they were after. However, before I could do anything, my worst fears were realized. Two security guards came up behind me, and grabbed my shirt collar.

Before I could put up any kind of struggle, the rest of them reached me. They encircled me, and placed me under arrest, and without incident, as they love to say in the news. What a coward I was, not to put up even a little bit of a fight!

I have since learned that my 'team' were all undercover cops who had set up this sting operation. I was the only culprit. I feel like such a sucker. But I can't wait to see my parents' faces when they finally get home tomorrow! I am so disillusioned at this moment, but I will recover and get my revenge on everyone. Just give me the time. Beware! Watch out!

Wednesday, August 31/16 from here in this federal prison.

Notes From The Bird Lady Article & photos by Tammie Hache Manitouwadge, ON bthache@yahoo.ca It definitely appears to be Grackle season! I'm seeing Grackles and Starlings by the hundreds throughout my neighbourhood this week. I'll see a flock of 50 or so fly over and then 2 or 3 more flocks of the same size will follow within minutes. There are lots of juvenile Starlings. They

are light brown compared to the adult's black. The juvies are getting their new feathers in now. I saw a dozen or so of them lined up on my back fence the other day and they were ALL scratching and preening. I guess it's pretty itchy when new feathers grow in!

When I was walking up my street earlier this week, I saw a songbird feeding a young one on my neighbour's lawn and

Juvenile Starlings

I was curious to see what it was. It turned out to be Dark Eyed Juncos and I was really surprised to see this activity so late in the season. I wonder if the season was good enough for Juncos that they had a second clutch. Not unheard of.

It was nice to see 2 adult and a juvenile Junco in my yard this morning.

I've also had a couple of White Throated Sparrows coming around again. They love to run in and out of the plants in the flowerbeds so I'll hear them chirping but not always see them. I expect to see more of them as fall approaches.

Hummingbird activity is slowing down now. The feeding frenzy of the past couple of weeks has waned quite dramatically. Sightings are still daily but more sporadic and not constant like they were before. Just a few more weeks and the Hummers will all be gone for another year.

Evening Grosbeaks are still not visiting my yard at all yet this summer but I know there are still some in town.

A couple of friends of mine on the other side of town have

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.

“Carrying the message of Love” with Joan Brooks

Thy Will Be Done….

It has been many years since my journey into living a Christ Conscious Life began.

I have shared in this column many parts of that journey I travelled over the past 45 years. These included studying the Life of Christ in the New Testament at Algoma University, studying The William Barclay Daily Study Bible – the four Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. And I also followed Dr. Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking.

This included taking practical passages from the Bible and applying them to my Life.

There is so much more.

Recently while searching for information packed away, I came across my early understanding of the Lord’s Prayer.

I wrote it in 1974 when I was still a neophyte into my quest to know God and to learn about Jesus Christ.

Please excuse any grammatical errors.

“Thy Will Be Done in Earth as it is in Heaven”

We include these words in our daily prayers, and repeat them many times during the day. Are we aware of the true meaning of these words? Or, is it something we are hoping for to occur sometime in the future, while in the meantime we do our own thing, in our own way, and we begin to wonder why we have this suffering, disappointments and death.

Upon meditating on these words, we realize that HIS will is being done every day, and only by working against it do we bring about suffering and disappointments. It is only according to HIS will that we are placed in the community or environment where we are today. It is according to HIS will, that we are provided with employment or family in order that we may look after our daily needs. It is according to HIS will, that we

AN

receive promotions or change of environment, in order that we may serve Him better.

And, if you are in business or self-employment, remember the parable of the talents. He has provided you with the talents according to your ability to put them to HIS use. He has provided you with means, knowledge and wisdom. Do not bury these talents or you will lose everything.

Now we begin to realize that wherever we are, whatever we do, we were placed there according to HIS will, to do the work we are doing now, and only by doing it according to our own will, to choose the way of doing it, do we stray from the right way.

Either we must submit to HIS will and do our work with Love and concern for others and find true happiness, or we grumble and try to do things according to our own will and selfish desires, and suffer disappointments and misery. Then we begin to wonder why God does not listen to our prayers, and does not give us what we ask for.

In order to find true happiness, which exceeds the happiness any material possessions can give us, we must cast away our selfishness, jealousy, pride and greed, and surrender completely to HIS will, doing everything with joy, Love and concern for others. Thus being aware that in such manner we are fulfilling HIS will, wherever we are and whatever we do. Realizing that because of HIS great Love for mankind, He will give us what is good and that evil and suffering come from man’s own transgressions.

Matthew 11: 28-30 inclusive: Come onto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
