Photo supplied.

Wawa received a special visitor on December 14th. Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader, Patrick Brown came through on his way from North Bay to Thunder Bay with stops in Wawa and White River. Lynn Cregheur of Algoma News and Printing, was invited to do a feature interview with Mr. Brown. Since he has been elected in Ontario, one of his goals is to represent Northern Ontario, not only in Queen’s Park, but by being on the ground here.

He has been in Northern Ontario 16 times now. He has been speaking with residents and listening to what they need and care about. He is getting a better understand-

ing of the challenges facing small towns in Northern Ontario. He visited with a number of different groups including Nurses, Mining and Forestry companies, as well as people in the education sector. Over the last ten years, he believes government's focus has been in Southern Ontario and he is here to make sure that the North is not put on a back burner.

As far as job creation in the North, he brought up at the fact that an Economic Development grant that supported Northern Ontario has been shelved. It has not been paid out since 2008. He can’t understand why nothing is being done.

Why are the Liberals oblivious to the needs of Northern Ontarians. Health care is

hurting in Northern Ontario.

Employment in the Forestry industry is down 50% under the Liberals. We are now ranked 23rd in terms of best mining jurisdictions.

We used to be ranked number one. Everyone is hurting and no one in government appreciates it.

He continued by pounding the table on energy prices. We have one of highest energy prices in North America. That has had a profound impact in Northern Ontario. Everyone he talked to claimed their number one concern was hydro prices.

Unfortunately, the way the Liberals have handled our energy policy has really hurt the North, and the whole Province for that matter.

Over the past few years our mining and forestry sectors have been struggling with weaker demand and the price of hydro has been adding a significant cost burden on those sectors. Hydro rates are suffocating prosperity in Northern Ontario.

As far as infrastructure, it seems to be all talk. When it comes to Northern Ontario, we get less and less of the infrastructure spending pie.

During election time, he said that, “I challenged the Premier. Where is the corridor to the Ring of Fire for example? They are a priority but when you get in office, nothing is done. It is one thing to talk about infrastructure during elections but where is the action!" He continues, "Now they are selling Hydro One. This is short sighted. Liberals say that the money will go towards infrastructure. Well, the budget hasn't even changed by a penny.

There was $130 billion allocated to infrastructure before the sale and now, it is under $130 billion. Talk is cheap. I want to see action.”

Right now, the government is trying to sell off everything including the kitchen sink.

Unfortunately, it will hurt Northern Ontario.

Update On North Algoma Health Needs Assessment 2016 The North Algoma Health Needs Assessment (NAHNA) is now moving into the Implementation Phase of the project. After 2 years of consultations and a Health Needs Assessment in five communities the project is ready to move ahead. A central committee of community stakeholders has been established to oversee progress.

With the needs of each community having been identified, each will deal with their individual issues at the local level. Overarching items (issues common to all communities) will be discussed and possible solutions will be presented at the “central level”. Monthly meetings of the central committee will be held and will be open to the

public.

At these meetings reports from each community will be received and progress in dealing with issues identified. A communication plan will be implemented to share information and keep everyone up to date on the progress being made. The initial meeting of the whole committee will be held Wednesday, January 20th, 2016 at 10 a.m. in the LDHC Boardroom.

Future meeting dates will be announced following that meeting.

If you require information regarding the findings of the North Algoma Health Needs Assessment information is available online and at the local library.

Ontario Announces 50 Clinics Offering Government-Funded Fertility Treatments

Ontario Moving Forward With Nuclear Refurbishment At Darlington And Pursuing Continued Operations At Pickering To 2024

50 clinics across the province will now be offering government-funded fertility treatments.

Ontario is making fertility treatments more accessible by contributing to the cost of one in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle per eligible patient per lifetime. This funding will help support over 5,000 Ontarians per year who are trying to start or expand a family.

It is estimated that one in six Ontario couples is affected by infertility at some point in their lives.

The province is also working with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to ensure that patients receive the highest quality fertility services, whether services are received in a hospital or in a non-hospital fertility clinic.

Who is Eligible Patients with medical issues causing infertility as well as patients with nonmedical forms of infertility, such as single people or samesex couples, are eligible under the new Fertility Program.

Women under the age of 43, after speaking to their health care provider to determine if IVF is the most appropriate family-building option for them, will be eligible for IVF funding.

What is Covered Ontario will fund one cycle of IVF and unlimited rounds of artificial insemination for eligible people at fertility clinics across the province.

One cycle of IVF includes one egg retrieval, which may yield multiple eggs and result in multiple embryos. The program will also cover the cost of the one-at-a-time transfer of all viable embryos to allow for the possibility of multiple chances for pregnancy and to reduce the occurrence of higher-risk multiple births.

Patients or their private health plans will be required to pay for some supporting services such as fertilityrelated drugs and storage of

Ontario is moving forward with nuclear refurbishment at Darlington Generating Station, securing 3,500 megawatts of affordable, reliable, and emission free power.

Nuclear refurbishment at Darlington will contribute $15 billion to Ontario’s gross domestic product (GDP) throughout the project and create up to 11,800 jobs annually. The refurbishment of all four units is expected to involve about 30 million hours of work over 10 years and will support Ontario’s globally recognized CANDU nuclear supply chain, with more than 180 companies employing thousands of highly skilled workers.

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is on track to begin refurbishment of the first unit at Darlington in October 2016. To best protect Ontario ratepayers and ensure OPG delivers refurbishment ontime and on-budget, the government has established offramps that require OPG to obtain government approval prior to proceeding with each of the remaining unit refurbishments. The budget for the project is $12.8 billion, about $1.2 billion less than originally projected by OPG, and all four units are scheduled for completion by 2026.

The Province has also approved OPG’s plan to pursue continued operation of the Pickering Generating Station beyond 2020 up to 2024, which would protect 4,500 jobs across the Durham region, avoid 8 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, and save Ontario electricity consumers up to $600 million. OPG will engage with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and the Ontario Energy Board to seek approvals required for the continued operation of Pickering Generating Station.

Securing clean, reliable power for decades to come is part of the government’s plan

Helping Ontarians Grow their Families

embryos.

The government will continue to work with the fertility implementation advisory working group to monitor the success of the new Fertility Program. The province will be in regular contact with participating clinics to examine wait lists and other issues related to implementation.

Further details on eligibility and coverage are available on the Fertility Program website.

Expanding access to fertility services is part of the government's plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which is providing patients with faster access to the right care, better home and community care, the information they need to stay healthy and a health care system that's sustainable for generations to come.

QUICK FACTS • IVF is a complex medical procedure where an egg is retrieved and then fertilized by sperm outside the body, and the resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus for implantation.

• In October 2015, Ontario announced it is investing $50 million a year to expand access to IVF treatments, in addition to the $20 million per year currently spent on IVF and other assisted reproduction services under OHIP. • Ontario worked together with an implementation advisory working group of physicians and clinic owners to effectively and thoughtfully implement Ontario’s new Fertility Program.

• Age is the single most important factor affecting fertility Female fertility starts to decline at age 30, and starts to rapidly decline at age 35. Male fertility begins to decline around age 40, and the risk of birth defects dou-

bles.

Ontario is also helping to grow families by strengthening the adoption system to help more children and youth find forever homes, and to help more families care for their adopted children and youth.

QUOTES "Infertility is a serious issue that affects thousands of Ontarians who have dreams of starting their own families.

Children are our future and, by creating a more equitable and accessible fertility program, the government is supporting family-building for those who couldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to have children."

— Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care "Today marks a significant milestone for thousands of Ontarians who, due to the high cost of IVF, have been unable to seek the medical intervention needed to improve their chances of conceiving. Conceivable Dreams members would like to thank the Ontario government for taking the time needed to put forward a strong funding program that will help ensure equitable access to treatment for patients struggling with infertility. We will continue to advocate on behalf of these individuals once the program gets underway."

— Danielle Xavier, President of the IVF advocacy group Conceivable Dreams "This is a great day for Ontario residents who require assisted reproduction to form families. It is truly a big step forward. We look forward to working with the ministry for quality assurance evaluation and program oversight to allow for ongoing refinements and to ensure that public funds are being used wisely."

— Dr. Ellen Greenblatt, Chair of the Implementation Advisory Working Group

•

Projects will Boost Economic Activity, Create Jobs and Help Fight Climate Change

to build Ontario up. The fourpart plan includes investing in people's talents and skills, making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, creating a dynamic, innovative environment where business thrives and building a secure retirement savings plan.

QUICK FACTS • Nuclear energy plays a fundamental role in Ontario’s electricity system. Ontario’s nuclear fleet currently supplies enough power to meet about 60 per cent of Ontario’s daily electricity needs, and is our largest source of reliable, affordable power.

• OPG electricity rates are regulated by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB). All costs for the Darlington refurbishment will be subject to review and approval by the OEB through a public and transparent process to ensure they are prudently incurred. The average cost of power from Darlington nuclear units post-refurbishment is estimated to range between $72/MWh and $81 MWh, or 7 and 8 cents per kilowatt hour.

• The average cost of power from Darlington after refurbishment is within the range assumed in the 2013 Long-Term Energy Plan for refurbished nuclear energy and lower than the average price of electricity generation in Ontario, which in 2015 was $92/MWh. • The Pickering Generating Station employs about 4,500 people and is the largest employer in Durham Region.

• Continuing operations at Pickering Generating Station will avoid 8 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, which is the equivalent to taking 490,000 cars off Ontario roads.

“Carrying the message of Love” with Joan Brooks

It’s New Year’s Eve Day It’s New Year’s Eve Day as I begin this last column to be written in 2015. What a fantastic year it was, Many tough decisions were made including financial, relocation to be closer to my family, and perhaps most important of all that I recovered from being broken physically to feeling whole again. Now what is in store for this for 2016?

So how do I plan to spend this last day of 2015? I plan to use this day to catch up on household chores that will leave my living space clean and tidy – bedding changed and laundered, at the top of my list and already done; grocery shopping to top up my cupboard and fridge; reflect on my financial situation and prepare for 2016. This is a big one for me. I have spent the better part of 2015 getting a handle on my income and expenses, and while I’m still not fully computerized, it will happen shortly. And the absolutely biggest opportunity in 2016 is managing my weight, whatever that means for me.

So that is it for this ‘oh so human’ body that defies me so often.

My spiritual life continues to grow exponentially as I seize every opportunity for meditation and prayer – for kindness, Hugs, laughter, Peace and LOVE. It’s all Good! WE are all spiritual beings living a human experience. Perhaps the greatest opportunity to spread love and compassion is with the influx of Refugees into all areas of Canada. Each plane load that lands on Canadian soil offers a new life for thousands of Syrians, now permanent Canadians. They took the grand risk of flying over the ocean to create a new home and environment for themselves and their children.

Each time I watch TV and view these happy moments, I think of my immigrant family from Denmark settling conscripted farm-land and beginning with nothing and making a grand life in Nova Scotia. It was 1927. My grandmother, Vika, sewed whatever currency and jewelry she could abscond into the hems and linings of her clothing.

They brought only their two sons, Christian (my father), Peter, Vilhim (Bill) leaving their two young daughters, Inge and Ellen, behind (they would eventually settle with their mother and dad four years later. They also lost two infant sons, Christian and Lauritz, during this tumultuous period. They travelled by ship across the ocean and through the Northumberland

Strait, and landed at Brule Point – a traumatic trip. From there they travelled by horse and buggy inland to their new farming community of Middle Musquodoboit, first on the prairie farm, then on to south Section where they rebuilt their lives and the lives of their children.

And so, one attitude I’m trying to understand and assimilate is hearing the negativity surrounding our newest Syrians families. And yes, I sure do know and understand why my neighbors in some respects fear them but it is the fear of the unknown.

I know what my family experienced, the fear, the loss of financial surcease, starting anew in a new country with new language and way of living. My grandparents, who were considered wealthy, lost everything, their beautiful home and furnishings, their farms and real estate and yes, their life as they had known it and they brought that industriousness with them to Canada, and helped repopulate the country. At this time, there are Quaade’s or descendants across Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia and all points in between. The run the gamut of employment/careers from medical, engineering, law, teachers and professors, social work and on the list goes. They earn their way, and so will these newcomers whom I understand had professional careers prior to leaving their home country.

Perhaps I enter 2016 a bit more light hearted as over the past decades I’ve often questioned my spiritual journey and now know it as my Path. You see, my Church is the wide open spaces, my universal search for Being at One with all that is, discovering the Truth with every race, color, religion, philosophy; with the rocks and sand; with the trees, shrubs, flora; with our lakes and rivers and streams; with the animals and insects and all creepy crawling Beings that inhabit our planet. There is a purpose for everything and everyone under the sun. Having said all of that, I also want to increase every opportunity to add to my Climate Change list. My Heavenly Church is in a sad need of cleaning, of restoring, of Believing that unless we all do our part, we won’t have a climate or a Church to fret about. Something to think about. ‘til next time…this is Joan

Middle Class Taxes Should Be The Tip Of The Iceberg The House sat for one week before Christmas and primarily dealt with the middle class tax break that was a central plank of the Liberal campaign.

Since both the Liberals and New Democrats ran on platforms that stressed re-organizing taxes in this bracket it was no surprise that NDP MPs supported the government’s proposal, but that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t have been done in a better way.

What set the party’s proposals apart had more to do with where the tax burden should fall once the middle class rate was reduced. The government chose to increase rates up the chain, where New Democrats would have preferred to change the rate corporations are charged.

Our reasoning was based on the fact that we could raise that tax by 2% and still have a competitive corporate rate lower than the United States.

It should also be more difficult for corporations to hide their money than it is for wealthy

Canadians. That last point may prove to be sticky for the government that is counting on higher income earners to merely accept the increase and pony up the dough.

With the changes, people who earn over $200,000 are seeing their rate increase while those getting the largest break butt right up against that bracket. That means someone earning $197,000 will receive a break of about $680 a year. Incredibly, someone earning $45,000 which is just shy of the Canadian average will receive nothing.

The fact is that concentrated wealth does not allow our economy to perform optimally. Like it or not, we are increasingly consumer driven. By redistributing wealth to more cash-strapped households, money should move from savings to those who will potentially spend it which helps the economy.

This is not to disparage savings in any way. Canadians need to do more of it, but that can’t happen if the cash

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

isn’t there. Our tax system was favouring higher earners and causing hard-working families to pay a greater share of the burden, so it is only reasonable to address it. This minor redistribution may allow more middle class Canadians to sock away a few bucks too.

Sadly, the tax break won’t make a big difference for most people, especially those living in poverty - which should be seen as a more pressing need.

That said, the fact that we are willing to have a conversation about the way our tax system affects wealth distribution is not bad news, especially if we don’t stop at the one flashy election promise.

That’s why New Democrats will encourage the government to do something for people who didn’t get a break this time and remind them of our willingness to support policies that will help those who are truly struggling.

Again, we have only had a week of debate, so it is far too early to say whether a change in government will amount to a change in fortunes for most Canadians. Still, the precedent has been set and we will do our part to make sure that the government remains seized with inequity as a dominant issue of this parliament.

“Serving the Northern Shores of Superior Best!”

Services Offered: New & Used Vehicle Sales, GM Certified Service Department, Parts & Accessories Sales, Tires and 24hr Towing Service

Youthful Mythinformation I always wondered about the coonskin cap. Do you remember it -- a fur pillbox with a racoon tail dangling down the back? It was pretty useless as hats go -- not waterproof and no brim to ward off the sun or the rain. Plus it made the wearer look transcendentally dopey. And hot!

Who of sound mind would willingly stick the carcass of a dead furry quadruped on his head on a summer afternoon?

Millions of North American adolescent woodsman wannabes, that's who. I was one of them. Back in the 1950's enough pint-sized coonskin caps were sold to cause a world-wide shortage of raccoon pelts. We craved coonskin hats because our heroes, Daniel Boone and Davey Crockett, wore coonskin caps.

Except they didn't.

It was a myth, started by a Broadway actor back in the 1830's when he portrayed a hillbilly-turned-politician named 'Captain Nimrod Wildfire' (in fact, a parody of Crockett) on stage. The actor wore a coonskin cap and the image stuck for all time.

As for Daniel Boone, he's on record as calling the hat 'silly'. Boone preferred a standard beaver hat.

The coonskin cap debunking goes into my 'Now They Tell Me' file. It's my collection of hoary homilies and erroneous adages that I sucked up as a gullible greenhorn only to later discover untrue.

I remember the time I was almost tackled during a farm tour for the sin of wearing a red T shirt. “Are you crazy, boy? If that Holstein bull gets sight of you he'll gore you to death! Bulls HATE red!”

Except they don't. Bulls are colour-blind. That matadors' capes are red is irrelevant. It's the movement that pisses the bull off.

Even if a bull was as blind as a bat... Oops, another myth. Bats aren't blind. They have excellent vision. And fast - bats move like lightning – which as we all know, never strikes the same place twice.

Except it does, all the time.

The Sears Tower in Chicago was hit 10 times during a single storm. The Empire State Building takes jolts at least a hundred times each year.

All those 'truths' we grew up with – don't cross your eyes they'll get stuck that way; don't snap your fingers, you'll get arthritis; don't swim after eating, you'll get stomach cramps and drown....

Bogus.

And we're still doing it – myth-making, I mean.

Michael Moore, the author/ filmmaker who wrote Dude, Where's My Country also produced the film Bowling for Columbine wherein he waxed poetic about America's neighbours to the north (that's us) who, he said, “feel so safe most of them don't lock their doors, even in large cities.”

Dude, where's your common sense? I don't know ANY homeowners in Vancouver, Winnipeg or Toronto who don't lock their doors. As a matter of fact, Canadians actually have a higher rate of property crime and theft than Americans do. Inconveniently strange but true.

One last bit of myth-busting: books aren't dead. It was predicted that ebooks would overtake printed books by 2015. In fact the sales of digital books actually fell by 10 percent during the first half of this year.

If printed books could talk they'd probably paraphrase Mark Twain, who once wrote in response to a printed obituary: “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

NUTS ‘N’ BOLTS

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

I Get Away With What I Can I’ve been paying attention to what passes for justice these days. It’s something different from what I remember as a child.

When I was a kid if I did something wrong, I’d get a warning. If it wasn’t a cardinal sin such as talking back to an adult or saying bad words, I might get a second warning couched in dire threats of imminent physical injury, (“If you do that again, I’m going towhup you good!”).

That was sufficient enough for me that I rarely repeated the offence. I had no urge to find out what a “good” whupping might turn out to be.

Somehow, I never imagined that it would be all that “good”.

I got a little inkling of what might be meant by such warnings when I experienced one of my early encounters with “foot-in-my-mouth” disease, a complaint I have suffered from for a good part of my life. I would often come upon my mother doing some activity or chore and brightly ask, “What are you doing, Mom?” Often she would answer, “None of your business”. (Mom was a very private woman.)

And, of course, the day came when Mom walked into the room and asked, “What are you doing, Bob?” My answer was obvious and justice was summary and swift.

Throughout childhood I was taught manners, tact and discretion in fairly equal parts. I can’t help wondering what happened since then. To this day I still know enough to say please and thank you and know when to keep my mouth shut, except for occa-

sional lapses and recurrence of my foot-in-my-mouth disease as previously noted.

Life is not much like that any more. The social graces are often non-existent among the button pushing cell-phone generation who often converse across the lunch table by texting each other because (they say) it’s easier. I think it’s more likely that many of them lack the skills to carry on a reasonable conversation out loud.

Things have gotten so bad that a drunken teenager in the States can kill four people including young girls and their grandfather and walk away from the whole thing without a pang of conscience because he suffers from affluenza!! That’s AFFLUENZA! This newly invented word has been used by the judge who tried the case to describe a condition suffered by the eighteen year old drunk which excuses him from guilt for killing four people with a car because he has always been so wealthy that he doesn’t know right from wrong.

Then, after walking out of court a free man excepting a few conditions, such as not leaving the country, his mother promptly absconds with her son to Mexico. They are quickly found and brought back home where she could face ten years for her actions.

Too bad that hadn’t happened ten years sooner. Perhaps this eighteen year old would have learned something about personal responsibility before he was eighteen.

The son may very well be threatened with having his bottle opener confiscated.

Legion News Thursday, January 14th is our first membership meeting of 2016 and we hope to see many members present at this very important meeting.

Everyone should be rested up from the holidays and ready to volunteer at the branch. So come on out to the meetings and get involved.

Our Ladies Auxiliary is having a sports spaghetti supper on January 14th from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. On January 28th there will be a luncheon from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

On January 23rd there will be a darts tournament. Team darts with prizes and a good practice for the February 13th team darts for the winter carnival. Talking of darts, the ladies were HOT HOT HOT and fought for every point

last Wednesday. Team 1 took 4 points, team 2 - 5, team 3 5, team 4 - 5, team 5 - 5 and team 6 took 6 points. High ton was a new gal Jennifer J. (good show) and high finish Donna L. with 58.

The teacher asked Johnnie, "How old is your Dad?" So Johnnie replied, "Just as old as me!"

So the teacher laughs and says, "Johnnie, that cannot be right."

"Yes" said Johnnie, "Because he did not become my dad until I was born!"

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.

Newsflash

SJD And Social Responsibility

Grades 1 and 2 students deliver the decorated bags.

Page 7

During the week before Christmas, Sir James Dunn partnered with LCBO to promote the sobering message to not drink and drive. Connie Gerrior delivered paper LCBO bags to the school and the students took over from there. They wrote and coloured that very important message on the bags, then Mrs. Jarvis and five Gr. 1 and 2 students returned the bags to the LCBO store for distribution during the Christmas season.

In addition, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) gave Gr. 6 – 8 students a multi-media presentation in early December against impaired driving.

Sir James Dunn and Algoma District School Board are committed to promoting healthy and positive values.

With Jim White

The Wolf Sentinel - A Ghost Story Happy New Year! As with most towns, there was an influx of students who came home for Christmas and didn't have to leave until after the New year.

This January 1st of 2015 was no exception.

Among those were two university students who came back home to Wolfton. Cal Robinson was in his second year at Queen's University, and Sandra Sparks was also in her second year at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. They had been friends since grade six, and became the typical 'childhood sweethearts'.

They became engaged the year they went off to their respective universities, with the understanding that they would get married after they both graduated with their degrees in hand. That was still the plan when they came home this Christmas.

The days leading up to Christmas Day were busy with shopping, partying with other friends who also had returned home, and then settling down with their families. After that for the next couple of days they were busy with more visiting with school friends. A New Year's Eve party was planned at Wayne Stewart's house. He was a friend of a friend that Cal knew. So he got invited, and Sandra was included too.

On New Year's Eve, the revelers started arriving about nine. As the evening went on, lots of folks came and went. By the time of the countdown at Times Square, there was about twenty people congregated around the TV in the rec room. The countdown began, and then it was Happy New Year!

Lots of kisses, hugs, and 'Happy New Year' wishes with their beer bottles and wine glasses, and smokes of several kinds in their other hands. Everyone was in a jubilant mood for a while, before everyone mellowed out.

Cal found Sandra in the kitchen, looking for a new bottle of wine to open. He commented to her that it was a clear cold night, and there was a nearly full moon out. He suggested that it would be a perfect night to go snowshoeing, noting that the party was basically over. She was reluctant at first. But since she couldn't find any more wine she agreed to go with him.

He drove her to her place first to pick up her snowshoes and change into her outdoor clothing.

She made a thermos of coffee.

She put it in a small pack sack, along with two small tin cups, some matches, and Kleenex. Her nose always ran like a sieve in this cold weather, she reminded him.

He laughed at her fondly.

Then they went over to his place. He got ready too, and they headed out, walking this time.

That was about 1:00 a.m. He remembered that later, as he had commented on the time to Sandra as they left his house. He lived about three blocks away from the bush. He knew where there was a snowshoe trail that followed along the creek for a ways, before swinging inland towards a small lake.

They found it easily enough.

They strapped on their snowshoes and headed off. Cal took the lead.

“Isn't this gorgeous! What a spectacular night. The air is so crisp – sure sobers you up, doesn't

it. Isn't that moon a beautiful sight, too. It's so bright and white.

Is it ever lighting up the trail.

You sure don't need a flashlight tonight do you.”

She replied, “Yes, it is a perfect night for sure. What a great way to start a new year off, eh?”

They continued to chat away, as they worked their way along the trail beside the creek. The snow crunched beneath their snowshoes as they plodded along.

Shortly they came to the point where the path veered away from the creek, due to a rock outcrop.

Just as they were about to make that turn, they were stopped in their tracks when they heard the unmistakable howl of a wolf – and it seemed to be very close nearby, they agreed. They hesitated momentarily.

Sandra spoke first. “Oh, Cal. I think we better head back. It is too near to be safe. If there is one, there likely is a pack. C'mon, let's go.”

Cal replied, “Oh, don't be such a chicken. It won't come close with the two of us to contend with.

Safety in numbers, right. Let's go.

I want to get over to the lake to see if anyone has cleared off the snow to make the skating rink yet. It doesn't look like anyone has made a trail in so far, so maybe not. If it it cleared off, we can come back tomorrow for a skate. But let's check it out anyway. Remember how we always used to go there when we were kids. I hope it is still being done.” He paused and looked around. Then he added, “See, here is a stick we can use as a weapon, if we need to. It'll be okay, honest! Let's go.”

They went through a section of flat terrain studded with birch trees. Then there came into view a small hill to their left. They could see through the trees to the top, where two large spruce trees stood on guard, about six feet apart.

Sandra saw it first. She gasped, and called out to Cal. “Cal, stop.

Look up at the top of that hill. It's a pure white wolf. See it's breath, and look at those black eyes, like lumps of coal.”

He turned his head in that direction, just in time to see it lift it's head, and utter the most piercing, haunting howl they had ever heard. The steam from his breath spewed out of his mouth and up into the still night air. It reminds me of the Yellowstone Park's geyser – crazy the thoughts that pop into your mind at times like this, she thought to herself.

She became terrified, and shuffled with her snowshoes over beside Cal, who was still standing still, seemingly in a trance as he continued to stare up the hill. She begged him, “Cal, I'm scared.

Let's go.”

Just then, the wolf lowered it's head, and suddenly just vanished from view, as it faded into the white snowy surroundings beyond the trees.

“See, it's gone. We're nearly at the lake now. We might as well check it out, have our coffee, and then we can head back.

Remember, there used to be a picnic table that they kept there year round. It'll be fine. Let's go.”

Again, he had to prod her to move, but she fell in behind him again. But now she kept looking around and behind her, fear-

ful that the wolf would pounce on them at any moment. But he never appeared, or howled again while they made their way to the lake.

They approached it through the trees. Cal realized that he had miscalculated where the path really went. He was a good hundred meters up from where he should have come out. He stopped to get his bearings. Sandra came up beside him, to his right. They both stood there. Before them was a steep drop to the edge of the lake.

“Well, smarty pants, where are we? So much for your trailblazing skills, Cal.” She began to giggle, as she relaxed from her fear of attack. She hit him on his upper arm. He turned and smiled at her.

“Well, at least I found the lake.”

He laughed back at her, and pointed to her right. “See, there is the point where the rink always started. I have stood on that point many a time in the summer and winter too.” She grinned at him, and admitted. “Okay, you're right.

Yes, I remember being there too.”

They began working their way down towards it, following the top of the eroded slope. Shortly the terrain dropped down and leveled off near the point. As they got closer, they were able to get a clear view of the little bay that the rink had always been cleared off in.

They couldn't believe their eyes at what they were viewing. There was no beaten path down to the lake, but the rink was cleared off, alright. At the far end of the rink were two small figures skating around in circles, holding onto each other.

Sandra commented, “Oh, look at those two children over there skating. Aren't they cute. I bet they can't be any more than six years old. Their outfits look so adorable too. It reminds me of the type of clothing my parents used to wear when they were kids.

I've seen pictures of them out here from way back when. Let's go out and say hi to them.”

Cal felt uneasy. He said, “Ugh, I don't think so. Something seems odd here. There's no one else here. And I don't see their parents around either. What would small kids be doing out here after midnight, anyway? That's strange too. I think we better go.” She replied, “ Now who's the chicken.

C'mon.” She was about to take her first step when the howl of the snow wolf echoed around the trees, and obviously very close.

She whirled around to see where it was coming from. Her snowshoes got crossed, and she fell to the ground, all twisted about.

Cal reached for her, and got her straightened up again.

They had their back to the lake, and were about to make a beeline back up the trail that they had just made with their snowshoes when they stopped dead in their tracks.

About fifty meters away stood the wolf. He lifted his head and let out another menacing howl. His black eyes seemed to pierce them to their core. They were shivering as they stared back at him, with the steam puffing from his nostrils and mouth, and floating upwards in that cold air.

After what seemed like an eternity, Cal broke the standoff, and said to her: “We better get out of here. We'll just circle around him, and get back to our trail. I don't think he will follow us from there.”

No more discussion was required, as they both noticed it take a step towards them. Before it got any closer, they clumsily began moving away through the fresh snow. But Sandra suddenly

gasped, and called out to Cal. “What about those kids on the rink? We can't just leave them for this wolf to kill them. Get your stick out. Get ready.” She shuffled with her snowshoes to get turned back. He did too. They stood next to each other, stunned at what they saw in front of them, down on the lake – nothing but a fresh layer of white snow on the frozen lake. There was no sign of the rink, nor those two children.

They blinked and stared at the scene for a moment until they heard the growl of the wolf off to their left. They turned away from the lake and began their confrontation with the wolf. It was now about thirty meters away from them, standing on guard. The moon shone down on it, casting a white luminous glow on its' fur. Sandra whispered to herself: 'Phantom Wolf'.

Then she whispered to Cal: “It's like I can see right through it. Weird, eh?” He didn't say anything. He just nodded. Then he slowly began to move away.

She quickly moved in behind him.

At first they shuffled sideways, keeping a close eye on it. When they saw that it was just standing there, and not moving towards them anymore, they straightened themselves out, and hustled along through the fresh white sparkling snow without further encounters, until they found their tracks on the path back to the creek, and hurried home to Cal's place.

They sat at his kitchen table for the longest time, trying to grasp what had happened to them.

They felt how cold the kitchen was. Cal swore he could see his breath. Then Sandra commented on exactly that too. Cal turned on the stove, saying he would heat some water to make some strong coffee.

Finally they put the lake event down to still being drunk, and/or the drugs. They had been hallucinating. That had to be it, especially when the clock on the stove said 1:00, which Cal was sure was the time they left the house. It was as if time had stood still. He checked the other clocks in the house.

They all read 2:00 a.m. Sandra left the kitchen to go to the bathroom.

When he went back to the kitchen to check that clock, it had reverted back to two a.m. He shook his head, as if to clear away what he was seeing. He then realized the kitchen had really warmed up quite a lot, in just that short amount of time. Sandra noticed it too as she came back in. They both commented on how bizarre all of this was. They sat at the table and drank their coffee. Then Cal insisted that she stay the rest of the night at his place. He let her have his bed, while he crashed on the couch in the rec room.

His mother woke him up about ten that morning. Sandra stumbled out of bed shortly after. They both made their way upstairs to the kitchen. They were in rough shape. However, after some strong coffee, they came back to some semblance of life.

His mother and father sat down with them at the table. They weren't in the best of shape either, after their late night, but at least they were better than Cal and Sandra.

When his mother asked how their night was, they looked at each other and shook their heads.

Cal started first. “Mom, we had the weirdest night, especially after we counted down the ball to New Year's. We decided to go snowshoeing over to that little lake through the bush not far from here. I wanted to see if they had

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

the ice rink cleaned off yet. It was a beautiful night, with that full moon and all.”

As he was saying this, his parents looked at each other in an odd way. He went on, “Just as we headed along the creek, we heard this wolf howling. It was unnerving, but we headed over anyway. I had grabbed a stick for a weapon, so I wasn't too concerned about it. Anyway, we got to the lake, and yes, the rink had been cleared.

There was two small children there, all by themselves, holding onto each other, trying to skate.

They had on the cutest old outfits.

Sandra said it reminded her of the old clothes her parents wore when they were children. We were just going to go down to join them when this wolf appeared not far away from us. It was growling, and looked menacing. So we decided to get out of there. But Sandra decided that she couldn't leave those kids behind with a wolf in the area. So she turned back to rescue them. I did too.

But it was so, well, spooky, I guess.

There were no kids or rink either.

All we saw was a snow covered lake. It had just vanished into thin air. And that wolf looked like a ghost as the moon shone down on it. All very creepy. Well, we got out of there as fast as we could. Once we got on our way, the wolf stopped, and we had no trouble the rest of the way. But it sure has freaked us out. We think it must have been the side effects of last night...”

His parents both looked at each other, obviously unsure what to say to them. Finally, his mother began: “Cal, Sandra – I don't know how to begin. What you say that you saw last night, well, earlier this morning, I guess is more to the point. Whatever.

What you describe is very similar to what happened sixty-six years ago today. There were two small children skating with their father around one in the afternoon of January first up there, when the two of them broke through the ice and drowned. There had been an air pocket that was never noticed when the father had cleared off the area to make the rink. Their bodies were never recovered.

Their father was obviously distraught. He was found dead at the lake later that day when a group of teenagers went there to do some skating too. He had tried to find them by reaching into the small area of open water, but was obviously unsuccessful. Only his two boots were sticking out of the frozen hole where the kids had fallen through. It appeared that he got caught in the ice as he tried to dive in to reach them, and his winter coat got caught in the ice, and trapped him from getting in or out. He drowned too. His name was John 'Lone' Wolf. Over the years, there have been many reports of a white wolf wandering the area. Many a person has heard him howling over the years, but few have actually seen him. I guess you were two who have had the misfortune – is that the right word?- to have seen him, and the children too. I don't recall anyone ever seeing them since the tragedy. Nobody clears off the lake anymore, or ventures up there, especially on New Year's Day. Now you know why we call it Ghost Lake.”

She paused, then concluded: “So, who wants some breakfast?”

Cal and Sandra just stared at each other, and they both just shivered again as they struggled to grasp what happened out there. A weird start to a new year, they agreed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Often you keep gossip to yourself, but it might be time for you to earn some good karma by sharing what you know.
