"Push For Change" Joe Roberts Arrives In Wawa

Article & photos by Barb Fisher I had to work my way to the front of the eager throng gathered outside our Community Centre to get a photo of Joe Roberts pushing his symbolic shopping cart on his arrival into Wawa, and with still some spring in his step after covering the highway from the Sault, step-bystep, kilometer-by-kilometer, he continues to spread his message in youth homelessness prevention. A community investment "gone correct" is how Joe sees his path from homeless heroin addict to Executive Director of a national youth empowerment campaign, The Push for Change.

Beginning last May in Newfoundland, in 517 days' time he plans to end his journey across Canada in Vancouver at the end of September, a total of 9,000 km.

He will be stopping at over 400 community and school events along the way. Joe pushes a grocery cart, a symbol of homelessness, the outcome he is warning youth to avoid.

As part of its commitment to Ontario's Mobilization and Engagement Model for Community Policing, the OPP has partnered with The Push for Change to raise awareness in youth homelessness and the related risk factors of mental health issues, addictions and difficulties at home and school.

With every school represented, students gathered in the arena bleachers to welcome Joe giving him much attention and respect in his message specifically targeting them. Host Al Hardy thanked the many contributors and sponsors: Wilderness Helicopters, Fenlon's Pharmacy, Wesdome Gold Mines, Home Building Centre, Provost Contracting, North of 17 Restaurant, John's Valu-Mart, Roxy Bowling Centre, Canadian Tire, RBC, TransCanada Chrysler, Tim Hortons, Embassy Restaurant, Northern Lights Ford, Wawa Family Health Team, Davidson Fuels and Subway. Much thanks to everyone in contributing in one way or another in sup-

port of this meaningful presentation.

Al next welcomed to the stage Christina Bekintis, a member of the Michipicoten First Nation who sang two traditional drumming songs with a pertinent message for all ages. The first, The Rainbow Warrior Song honours the warriors healing a fractured world in bringing every colour and creed together in harmony. The second, The Wolf Song emulated the wolf pack who work in tandem with every member in the pack giving importance to each position; lessons in that we too can work together to achieve our goals.

In a very dark moment Joe's young life turned a corner with a call to the OPP crises management centre. His story and pivotal encounter with the OPP officer underlines the tremendous impact one call for service can have, and through its partnership with The Push for Change, the OPP are maximizing efforts to mobilize and engage community safety and wellbeing throughout Ontario.

Sgt. Manuela Byrnes of our OPP detachment also spoke on her personal contibution to the cause by joining Joe in walking for a portion of his journey. Manuela challenged our community to donate socks, a pair for every kilometer walked by her, and from Goulet River north along Hwy 17, the hours over 113 kms passed quickly with Joe, never at a loss for words, sharing his life's experiences.

Joe addressed an arena full of students from all of our schools speaking to youth and educators in developing integrated community responses that operate within the

school system. Why schools?

Because virtually every young person who becomes homeless was in school at one point and very likely in contact with a teacher, guidance counsellor, or coach who knew something was wrong but didn't know how to help. Two strategies that have met with great success: INCREASE school engagement, graduation rates and access to safe, secure housing. REDUCE the risk of family breakdown, dropping out of school and involvement in crime. In other words, shifting the focus to prevention.

Joe shoots from the hip, and in a straight forward delivery appealing directly to the teen audience gave a graphic description of his life as a youngster holding nothing back in describing his struggles with addiction. He is a former drug addict and street youth who digressed into pushing a shopping cart collecting cans and bottles for cash handouts around Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. One dark night Joe had a gun and was threatening suicide, until his mom called the OPP who started him on the road to recovery.

He turned his life around to become a successful entrepreneur before he was 35 years old. Today he is the Executive Director of The Push For Change.

In a tribute to our youth here at home, the Legionnaire Midget hockey team faced off against their older but able competitor, Wawa's Emergency First Responders who proved that taking part in group sports as teenagers will always serve you well in the future...with a little help from muscle rub and heating pads. Nonetheless, congratulations on a game well fought.

true grit!

We are lucky to have a wide range of organizations in our town ready to address questions and concerns on issues that teens wrestle with every day. Everyone attending was encouraged to visit the information displays featuring topics of the day: North Algoma Literacy Coalition, Wawa & Area Victim Services, Chadwic Home, Regional Employment Help Centre, Algoma Public Health, Children's Aid Society, Wawa Family Health Team and Algoma Family Services. Between chatting with the information booth attendants, the entire student body was treated to lunch, and feeding that many mouths was no easy feat. A special thank you is extended to Tracey and Mark Toffner of Tim Hortons who satisfied the growlies by supplying chili, buns, sandwiches, hot chocolate and coffee to over 350 kids and teachers.

A big shout out of thanks for organizing and providing this accomplishment.

Thank you to Wawa Push for Change Committee whose untiring diligence has added yet another success in promoting our reputation of a great little town.

Clean and protect your car during Canada’s coldest months TORONTO, ON — The holidays are behind us and we are officially on the 100th NHL season.

This can only mean one thing: Winter is dreadfully, finally here. We all know what winter brings with it – snowfall, icy conditions and salt to help keep the roads clear and safe. Even though the salt helps make driving safer, it is no friend to your car.

“Not only can the driving conditions in a Canadian winter be horrible, they are also just brutal on your car,” says Megan Currie, Senior Marketing Manager at Armor All® brand.

“The roads are a slushy mess, and all the salt used to melt the ice can be corrosive on the body of your car. What’s worse, you track all that sloppy mess into the car with you, leaving an ugly, crusty residue behind.”

The weather conditions in winter also make it unappealing to stand out on the driveway, hose in hand, washing your car. But that doesn’t mean it should suffer months of neglect as it withstands the worst of winter.

Megan offers the following tips for keeping your car clean through the long, cold winter: Remove salt. There is nothing more damaging to your car inside and out than winter road salt. It is corrosive and unsightly, and causes physical damage to your body and upholstery.

An industrial-strength carpet and upholstery cleaner with foaming action is perfect for cleaning the salt from the carpet and car mats in your car. It is also good for lifting groundin stains from the other three seasons as well, including grease, oil and mud.

A clean dash. Get rid of the last of summer’s dust with a thorough cleaning of your dash, console and doors. Take care of your dashboard and interior trim with a multi-use auto cleaner, and keep it clean and safe from UV damage with an interior protectant.

Spring fresh. The temperature may be dipping below zero, but you can keep you car smelling spring fresh with an air freshener. Whether you

prefer a vent clip or something that hangs from your rear-view mirror, an air freshener will help keep your car smelling great.

Clear windows. You can’t see out of dirty windows, and when your windows start to fog up even a little bit in the dead of winter — and they will — every streak becomes obvious. Restore the clarity to your windows with a specialized automotive glass cleaner.

Preserve your seats.

Leather seats are a nice option in a car, and you will want to preserve them as much as possible. Protect the leather in your car from wayward splashes and salt with a restorer and protectant that will rejuvenate and preserve your leather interior.

Run it through a wash.

When spring rolls around, you will want to ensure your car is free of rust and corrosion so that you can get back to giving it that custom shine car enthusiasts love. Give your car a regular wash in the winter, especially the undercarriage, to clean away any salt residue. For an added level of protection against winter’s worst, brave the cold for just a few moments and apply a spray-on wax, which can be applied to a wet or dry vehicle. Simply spray on the carnauba wax and enjoy a mid-winter high-gloss shine that also protects the clear coat on the paint.

Tires & Rims need cleaning too. Whether it’s a coin op, or your local car wash, you can easily clean your tires and rims to help prevent salt and road grime from pitting the rims and diminishing the look and moisture in your tires. Before you turn on the water gun, or drive through the car wash, use a touch free tire and rim cleaner like Armor All Quicksilver® Tire and Rim Cleaner and have the water do the dirty work for your.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto Opens Family Room At Health Sciences North A retreat within the hospital – and a Valentine’s gift – for families of ill children in Northeastern Ontario

Sudbury (February 13, 2017) – Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Toronto is expanding the support it provides to families of seriously ill children in Northeastern Ontario.

Today, RMHC Toronto officially opens its Family Room at Health Sciences North (HSN), providing a “home away from home” for families just steps away from the NEO Kids paediatrics and neonatal intensive care units where their child is being treated.

The Family Room provides a welcoming and comforting environment where parents can rest and recharge away from the clinical environment of their child’s room. Research shows that parents who stay close to their ill children are able to be more involved in clinical decision making and care and have more positive hospital experiences.

RMHC Toronto supported 164 families from Northeastern Ontario at its House last year when their child required lifesaving treatment in Toronto.

With the opening of the Family Room at HSN, RMHC Toronto can now support hundreds of additional families from Northeastern Ontario – while their child is hospitalized in Sudbury. HSN supported 1,200 patients and families last year in its NICU and paediatrics unit.

The Family Room includes a kitchenette stocked with snacks and beverages, a relaxing fireplace lounge with TVs, and two rest and respite areas, with a total of six recliners, where families can nap and sleep. Inspired by first-class airline lounges, the recliners have custom-built privacy screens to allow family members to rest without distraction.

The Family Room is staffed from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days a week, by RMHC Toronto volunteers, all from the Sudbury area. The recliners are available to families 24 hours a day.

“The Family Room at Health Sciences North is a core part of our mission to provide an environment that keeps families close so they can cope during a stressful and frightening time,” says Sally Ginter, Chief Executive Officer, RMHC Toronto. “We are grateful for our partnership with this hospital, and grateful for the many people, including our volunteers and donors, who are enabling us to support more families than ever before in Northeastern Ontario.” ”This partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto is improving care for our patients and families from across the North East,” says Dr. Denis Roy, President and CEO of Health Sciences North. “It is comforting to know that in their hour of need, families will be

Winter Is Not A Friend To Your Car

better supported while their children are receiving care at HSN. Families will have an area to rest and regenerate and remain close to their loved ones. Thanks to the team at Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto, and to the many donors and volunteers for providing this quiet retreat for our families.”

Since the Family Rooms at HSN first opened on December 1, 2016, there already have been close to 1,600 visits by 88 different families.

“The Family Room is just what I needed,” says Susan St. Georges, one of the first people to use the room after her son Benjamin was born prematurely in December and spent time in the NICU. “I could relax and destress without leaving my son’s side.”

The Family Room at HSN is the seventh in-hospital Family Room opened and operated by RMHC Toronto, but it is the first one out of the Greater Toronto Area. RMHC Toronto also operates Family Rooms at Rouge Valley Centenary, The Hospital for Sick Children, Markham Stouffville Hospital and Credit Valley Hospital.

About Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto Ronald McDonald House

Charities Toronto has been fulfilling its mission since 1981 to provide a “home away from home” for families of seriously ill children undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital. It operates a House for 81 families in downtown Toronto and seven in-hospital Family Rooms across the Greater Toronto Area and in Northeastern Ontario. We keep families close when they need each other the most. For more information, visit www. rmhctoronto.ca.

Ontario Continuing To Welcome Newcomers With Expanded And Modernized Immigration Program Province Attracting Global Talent, Helping Businesses Find Skilled Workers Ontario is continuing to help businesses attract the talented people they need to compete globally by accepting more skilled newcomers than ever before through its successful Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).

Laura Albanese, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, and Deb Matthews, Deputy Premier and Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development, were at the University of Toronto's Centre for International Experience today to make the announcement.

Recognizing the success of the OINP and its importance to Ontario's economy, the federal government has increased the province's 2017 allocation by 500 nominees to a total of 6,000. Through the OINP, Ontario is able to nominate people for permanent resident status. Nominees include skilled workers, international students, experienced entrepreneurs, and key staff of established foreign corporations seeking to expand into Ontario.

Next week, the OINP will open applications for its three highest-volume streams - the International Masters Graduate Stream, the International PhD Graduate Stream, and the Ontario Express Entry Human

Capital Priorities Stream. With their advanced language skills and global connections, international students are important to the success of Ontario's economy.

The OINP is also modernizing its application process this year with a new, paperless online system, which will speed up the application process, improve customer service, and help employers find the skilled workers they need sooner.

Attracting and retaining skilled newcomers is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.

QUICK FACTS • Ontario’s federal nomination allocation has increased from 2,500 in 2014 to 6,000 in 2017.

• About 25 per cent of Ontario’s 2016 nominees work in the thriving ICT sector. This is more than double the amount suggested by Ontario business leaders and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (10 per cent).

• In 2015, the Premier convened an Expert Panel on a Highly Skilled Workforce to provide advice on how Ontario’s workforce can prepare for a more technology- and knowledgebased economy.

VIKING VOICES

The halls of Michipicoten High school were busy last week with a pep rally for the outgoing boys’ basketball teams who competed in NSSSAA , Valentine’s celebrations and getting ready for the Wawa Winter Carnival.

The boys’ basketball teams played in Manitouwadge last Thursday. It was a long day with the junior and senior boys playing two very difficult games. The junior boys beat Chapleau for the first time this season to take home the bronze medal. The senior boys, with only six players, lost a close battle to Chapleau in the bronze medal game.

Good job on an excellent finish to the season. Thanks to coaches Miss Fresque and Matt Trudeau for their time and effort with the boys and to Mrs. Laing for helping to chaperone the final trip.

On Tuesday, the school held shopping cart races to raise money for Joe Robert’s Push for Change campaign.

Races were held in the afternoon and after rounds of elimination, Beau St. Louis was declared the fastest shopping cart pusher! He won Valu-Mart gift cards.

Congratulations Beau! Thank you to John’s Valu-Mart for lending the carts for the races. From the race entry and spectator fees, $85.00 was collected and donated to the campaign.

Students walked to the community centre to participate in the Push for Change

event. They enjoyed hearing Mr. Robert’s life story, cheering on the hockey players and perusing the displays of local services. They also were grateful for the free lunch from Tim Horton’s.

To go along with the theme of the Wawa Winter Carnival weekend, the Lead class held a “How Many Waldos Can You Find?” contest. Students in the grade nine art class painted Waldos and the Lead class displayed them around the school and challenged everyone to find the Waldos.

On Tuesday, February 21st we had an academic awards assembly. Students who were on the honour roll last year were given a plaque if it was their first time on the honour roll or a bar for their plaque if they had been on the honour roll in years past.

Student also received awards from first semester teachers. These awards recognized students who displayed good work habits and participated well in classes.

Today, February 22nd, is Pink Shirt day and students were asked show their support and wear pink. Pink Shirt day is held each year in February to bring awareness to the very important anti-bullying programs that help youth. Wearing pink is a way to show support for the anti-bullying movement and is also a promise to spread kindness and respect for the entire year.

Female Charged With Assault

OPP Helicopter Struck

By Laser

(ORILLIA, ON) - On Monday February 13, 2017, at 9:30 p.m., an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) helicopter was participating in a training exercise with OPP specialty teams in the Elgin County area of Southern Ontario when it was struck with a laser while in flight.

The flight crew responded appropriately to avoid the laser strike preventing any permanent injury to the crew or impact to flight operations.

"Laser attacks on aircraft are a serious and growing concern. The OPP take these actions very seriously and if the person(s) responsible are identified, they will be held accountable for their actions." said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support.

According to Transport Canada, incidents of lasers pointed at aircraft are rising in Canada. In 2015, there were almost 600 reported incidents in Canada. Lasers are not toys. Pointing a laser at an aircraft can create glare that distracts or temporarily blinds the pilots, putting passengers, as well as people on the ground, at serious risk.

The OPP would like to remind all members of the public that it is a criminal offence to point a laser at an aircraft. Offenders will be charged and could face fines up to $100,000, 5 years in prison - or both. If you see someone endangering an aircraft, call 911 immediately.

If anyone has information with regards to this specific incident, please contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or

With Jim White

An Academy Awards Scandal & Party “The Academy Awards are being handed out this coming Sunday, February 26th. That reminds me of a scandal that happened back in the 1944 awards that rocked the Hollywood scene.

The nominations for Best Picture were - Going My Way, Double Indemnity, Gaslight, Since You Went Away, and Wilson.

The buzz around Hollywood was that 'Wilson' was the front runner. Well, at the ceremonies that night, the winner was announced as 'Going My Way'.

Everyone gasped in shock, but then came the applause as the Director, Leo McBean made his way up to the stage to accept the award. He gave a gracious speech, praising his actors, actresses, and all the crew who helped bringing it to life. He finished by praising the other nominees for their wonderful work. All the other directors accepted the acknowledgment, But the powerful producer of 'Wilson', Darren Zanum just glared at him with a stone face. He was so sure that his movie would get the most important award. His movie had won in a lot of the technical awards, but they didn't matter to him. He only craved the big one. Also he didn't like McBean ever since he refused to direct one of his pictures a couple of years previous.

Zanum just was not going to let this injustice go unchallenged.

He began asking around town if they had voted for his movie 'Wilson'. The totals added up to what should have been a win.

During one of the conversation with one of the set designers that he had working on several of his previous movies, a one line quip that was meant to be a joke got him pursuing another lead. The designer quipped, “Maybe the voting was rigged.”

That got him the meeting with the Board of Directors of the Academy a few days later. He had enough clout in Hollywood that he could get a Board meeting convened at a moment's notice.

At this meeting he presented his request, “I want a re-count of the ballots. I want two Board members, myself and the accountants at Deloitte & Touche sit down and count the paper ballots. We do this for our elections of members of congress, especially when the vote totals are close. Remember that Senator from Oregon in the last election. He got a re-count.

I want that to happen here too. I have reason to believe the ballot counters over there manipulated the count to ensure 'Going My Way' won the Oscar.”

The Board was stunned. One member, Horace Brinbaum, yelled at Zanum, “That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Just let it go, Darren.” However, most of the others were too afraid of him, so in the end they agreed to set it up.

Then while he was on a roll, Zanum figured he might as well try to get his other pet peeve dealt with too. “Gentlemen, one other thing that should be changed is this practice of entering an actor in both the 'Best Actor' category and 'Supporting Actor'. It was so obvious that you wanted Barry Fitzgerald to win an Oscar. He

should have been just nominated at a Supporting Actor in 'Going My Way'. I'll concede he was deserving of that award. But that meant that there really was only 4 actors in the running for 'Best Actor'. That's not fair. Abolish this practice for next year and beyond.”

After a stunned silence, and everyone looking at each other, not sure what to say or do, the Chairman piped up and agreed to that idea.

At the next official Board meeting, that motion was approved.

In the meantime, the ballot counting issue was tackled. The accountant agency was reluctant to do this, as it had never been requested before. The Vice President presided for the agency, after agreeing to do it. He called down to the two staff members who did the actual counting of the ballots that had been mailed in.

He asked the lead agent to bring up the ballots to his office oj just the Best Picture category. He was stunned and went into panic mode when he was told that the ballots had all been destroyed after being counted and the winner's name put in the envelope for the night of the award ceremony. When he told Zanum and the accompanying Board members, there was outrage. Zanum demanded to talk to the counters to explain themselves. The V-P ordered the two of them to get up to his office right away.

The lead counter, Jim Wilson, cowered in his chair, as he confessed what had happened. “Well, you see, I was paid an awful lot of money to ensure 'Going My Way' won the Best Picture award. Just after my assistant here and I had sorted the ballots into piles ready to be counted, I asked him to go to the basement to get a box to put the ballots in after they had been counted. Of course he objected as he knew there had to be at least 2 people in the room at all times, to prevent tampering. I assured him that it would be okay for this one category, as it appeared to be a landslide. I told him I would wait until he got back for the other categories voting. He reluctantly left as I requested. So do not blame him for any of this. I take full responsibility. Yes, Mr. Zanum, your picture, 'Wilson' really did win, but I put the name of 'Going My Way' in the envelope and sealed it. I hid the ballots in my brief case and destroyed them later at home.”

Then Zanum asked the critical question, “Who paid you to do this?” Wilson looked around the room nervously, knowing his career at the agency was over, and maybe jail would be his only future. But he knew he had to say it to save himself as best he could, but wanting to make sure he didn't go down alone. So he gave up the name – 'It was Howard Hugheson, the Executive Producer. He paid me $10,000 to do this. That's a lot of money. I needed it, as my wife is quite ill, and the medical expenses are putting me into bankruptcy.

I know that's a poor excuse, but I was desperate. You can understand, can't you?” His pleading softened the blow of who instigated this ballot rigging. But one of the Board members spoke up, “This is outrageous. I have never

heard of this happening before.

At least I hope it has never happened before, has it, Mr. Deloitte?”

He shook his head vigorously to indicate that it hadn't. The board member sighed and replied, “Good. I hope you are right. Well, I guess we will have to issue a statement and publicly announce that there had been a clerical error and indeed 'Wilson' was this year's Best Picture. It will be a nightmare, and will sure tarnish our reputation. What a mess!' he moaned in conclusion. The Board Chair piped up. “No, we are not going to subject ourselves to that embarrassment. No, I think we should just leave well enough alone. You have your vindication, Mr. Zanum.

At least you know in your mind that you really did win. I hope you will let it go at that, for the good of the Academy. We have learned an important lesson here, and so now we can tighten up security and the counting system for the future, so this won't happen again. I am sure your firm will look after that, right, Mr. Deloitte.” He just shook his head vigorously in agreement.

He was terrified of losing out on this important task that also paid well. They all turned to Zanum and waited his response. To everyone's relief he agreed to keep quiet and not pursue it any further. He also realized this would give him more power with the Academy now, so he considered his venture well worthwhile.

So the meeting broke up, and “Going My Way' remained the Best Picture of 1944. Zanum was able to squeeze out a substantial payout from Mr. Hugheson to keep him out of jail. This hush money went directly to Zanum's personal bank account in Zurich. Oddly enough, Mr. Hugheson quietly disappeared from the Hollywood scene. Lots of people wondered what that was all about, but was just a passing thought. No real probing questions were ever raised. 'That's just Hollywood,' everyone said.

But a few days after this important meeting with the accountants, a Mr. Jim Wilson of that firm, our ballot counter, was found dead on the railway tracks going from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. It appeared that he fell off the train while trying to go between cars. He had a cast on his left leg. The train ran over him. This was reminiscent to the death scene in the movie 'Double Indemnity,' which of course had been nominated for Best Picture that year. It appeared to be just an accident at first, but the insurance company investigated it before paying out the policy money. And like in the movie, it was found to be murder, but not like the movie, they never were able to solve this crime.

Oh, Hollywood intrigue. Long may it last!' ***************** It was a party to remember, or not, all the party goers agreed afterwards. On Sunday, February 22/15, a group of friends gathered at the house of Michael and Patricia Movies that afternoon and evening for their annual Academy Awards party. It was not as big as the Super Bowl party they also hosted, but it was usually a fun time among these movie geeks.

This has been going on for 5 years now. They usually came around 3 for wine and cheese, and to settle down for a heated discussion on who should win the major categories, and who would likely win.

Once everyone had arrived and written down their predictions, they were taped to the wall beside the TV down in their rec room.

The person who guessed the most winners got an imitation Oscar statue. Patricia had bought it at

the Dollarama store that first year when she first organized this get together. The winner gets to keep it for a year and then brings it to the next party, she reminded everyone. They always brought out their book of the history of the Oscars and read and talked about a particular chapter. This year it was the above article. It provoked lots of discussion.

They were ready to eat by 5:30 so they could be ready to watch the red carpet coverage at 6:00 p.m. Supper was always pot luck, with everyone bringing the salads, rolls, pickles & relishes, and desserts. Everyone also brought wine and beer. Patricia's younger sister, Reese, always made little shortbread cookies in the shape of the Oscar statue. She covered them in a golden yellow icing. Everyone agreed they were the highlight.

She told them that she came up with the idea after watching a story about the chef Wolfgang Puck who made them for the Governor's Ball that the stars went to after the ceremony every year.

This year the group included Michael's 2 brothers and their wives; Patricia's older sister, Meryl, and her husband Robert; her cousin Emma; Michael's co-workers from work at the bank, Ryan Goslin, and Casey Daffleck; and their next door neighbours, Julie and Brad Cooper. The Movie's two children, Bennie and Laura, went next door to the Cooper's for the evening, so this could be an adults only party. The kids had their own party lined up.

Patricia got a pork roast prepared and laid out on the kitchen counter, and the vegetables, gravy and salad dressings for the tossed salad, applesauce, and rolls. After looking things over, she was satisfied that everything was ready. She called them up. Everybody served themselves and headed back down to the rec room to eat.

Julie opened up the discussion about the dresses on the red carpet – who would look the best, and who would be the worst.

She offered her opinion between mouthfuls. It didn't take long before the others jumped in with their opinions. The women took up most of the conversation on the clothing subject. The men just continued eating and rolled their eyes every once in a while. Then a roar went up when Casey commented, “I don't care what they wear, as long as it's low-cut and high slits, so they show off their assets.” One of them threw a roll at him. Everyone laughed and groaned.

Finally they finished eating, and the dirty dishes were brought up to the kitchen, and piled in the sink. Patricia put on coffee and tea. Everyone agreed to have dessert later. By then, it was time to watch the red carpet prequel to the big show.

As each movie star arrived, 2 reporters interviewed them. Each time a new celebrity was up on air, they all had comments about either what they were wearing, or what they were saying. The guys called out 'boo' for each of them, while the girls tried to shush them up so they could hear what they were saying. It got louder and more boisterous as the evening went on.

Finally 8 o'clock came, and it was time for the show to start.

And of course everyone had to comment on the opening by N. P. Harris. Finally after nearly half an hour the first award was announced. Most of them got it right. Over the rest of the evening, there were comments about everything shown on TV. Nothing was off limits. During one of the

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

commercial breaks, they rushed upstairs to get their dessert and drinks. Then they headed back downstairs, and settled in for the next set of awards. As the award tally added up, it looked like most of them were guessing correctly, despite their earlier discussion and disagreements. Patricia wondered what she would do if there were ties at the end. But then she heard a comment from Emma that needed refuting. The discussions became more animated leading up to the reading of the nominees, and then when the winner was announced there were yeahs and boos, depending on who won that category.

Then around 10:00, it was noticed that Casey seemed to have fallen asleep in his chair. Ryan nudged him but couldn't get him to wake up. He commented what a sound sleeper he was. But about 5 minutes later, it was Ryan who was asleep. By 10:30 everybody else was just laying there, slumped in their seats, staring at the TV set, offering no comments on the winners. By 11:00 everyone was out of it. They never did hear who won Best Director and Best Picture.

The Movie's kids came in about 1:00 to find them all out cold, with the TV still on. They called out to their parents, but got no response. Benny just shrugged his shoulders and said to his sister, “Some party eh. They're all passed out. I wonder what drugs they were on. Oh, yeah, that would be the Oxycodone that I put in the roast of pork and weed in the salads they had on the counter. Are they all going to have a hangover this morning when they wake up.

Oh, well, I'm going to bed. I am going to have one more joint first, though, and finish off a couple of those wine bottles. They are open anyway. Don't want to let them go to waste, eh? I can use some of that drug wine combo to help me mellow out. You want some too?”

Laura, who was 14 years old, while Benny was the older one, aged 17, replied no. She added that it was a stupid, dangerous game he played.

She warned him that he would be in big trouble later. But seeing he was not listening, she headed for bed.

Benny laid down on the floor, with his head against the fireplace.

The fire had gone out long ago, but the stones were still warm. He settled in for a quiet time, and soon passed out too.

The next morning there was lots of moaning groaning and throwing up as everyone slowly came awake. Coffee was made and gobbled up. The mess in the kitchen didn't go over well either. Laura, being the only sober one, got the kitchen and rec room cleaned up.

Everyone else stumbled around trying to find car keys, coats, etc.

They were conscious enough to know that they had to get home, and – groan – call in sick. Laura knew Benny would not be fit to go to school this Monday morning, so she wrote a note and signed it.

She planned to take it to school to cover up Benny's absence . She knew that he would be in real trouble later, but wanted to spare him trouble at school at least.

Then just before she did leave for school, she blabbed about the drugs and weed that Benny had spiked the wine and food with.

But her parents were still wasted, and all they could say, in unison though, was – WASN'T THAT A PARTY! And Benny did get it. The 'joke' did not go over well with his parents. They were not happy that they had to listen to ET on TV to learn who the major Awards went to Sunday night, either. Oh, oh!

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Legion News Now that Family Day Weekend is 3 days to really celebrate, in Wawa we do this with the Winter Carnival. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and was with their family when they took part in anything at all.

Talking about family, this is a good time to remember some of the grandparents, fathers and mothers who are no longer with us. Now this is the goal of the Legion, to remember those of our town, province and country who went beyond the call of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice.

I was looking at some of the news from The Netherlands and there they do amazing things after all the years and 2 or 3 generations later. They dig up stories of the WW2 and actually dig up parts of aircrafts and other war material still buried in the soil. They are getting ready

for a big celebration in 2020 of 75 Years of Freedom.

In one place they just now are creating a lasting memorial for the crew of a Lancaster with the names of the crew displayed. They have streets named after fallen Canadian soldiers and Canada Bridges and Boulevards. Many older folks are now telling their stories of war experiences and the moments of happiness at their liberation. So I urge everyone who has a veteran ,old or young, to talk with the family and be proud to have such a important member.

At this time in 1944, our Canadian Armed Forces were getting ready for the final battles and cross the Rhine and turned then west to Liberate Holland.

They finally finished this job on May 5th, 1945 and left over 7000 of their comrades who are

still buried in the Canadian War cemeteries. After this, many Canadians volunteered to help in the Korean war and once again came home without some of their friends and brothers at arms.

We have thousands of younger Canadian men and woman who served as peacekeepers in many areas from Cyprus to Mali. Some of them are doing their tours of duty at this time in Europe and the Middle East.

And all those above are apart of our large Canadian family.

As I was talking with a elderly lady about how things have changed, she had a good example. She said, "After the elastic in her mothers underpants were gone, you could still use it to polish a whole car. With the ladies underwear today, you do not have enough material to polish a bike!"

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.

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.
