Get Your Nature Dose At Ontario Parks On July 20th The hospital CEO, Foundation Coordinator and Board Members graciously accept a donation from Wesdome executives.

Wesdome Gold Mine Inc. has increased its 3-year commitment to the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation to $25,000. Very welcome news for the LDHC Foundation!

Benoit Bealieu - Chief Engineer (fourth from left), Tania Case, Mine Accountant (third from right) and Marc Andre Pelletier – COO, Chief Operating Engineer (second from right) from Wesdome Gold Mines Inc. visited the Lady Dunn Health Centre to present their second gift, a donation of $10,000.00 to the LDHC Foundation. Kadean Ogilvie-Pinter, LDHC CEO, provided the representatives with a tour of the hospital and thanked them for their very generous support.

This donation will certainly help the hospital Foundation as it embarks on raising funds for the Digital Radiography Upgrade, Phase 2. The second phase of the upgrade requires an additional $150,000 for essential improvements to

the diagnostic imaging equipment. Once completed, the Diagnostic Imaging department will have the most upto-date technology on the market and will allow the Lady Dunn Health Centre to continue to provide excellent care in radiography.

Wesdome’s donation to the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation demonstrates its commitment to health care at the Lady Dunn Health Centre and the communities it serves. This mining company has generously contributed a total of $16,310.00 to the LDHC Foundation since 2010. Thank you to Wesdome Gold Mines Inc. for your very generous support!

The East Algoma Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind ATV and UTV operators to have a safe and enjoyable riding season. During the summer season there will be an increase in the number of ATV's and UTV's on the trails and roadways.

The biggest change in the ATV world is the inclusion of "Side by Sides" (SxS) and 2-up ATV's. The provincial government has legalized (as of July 1, 2015) all of the varieties of ATV's. That goes for all 2-ups (from the manufacturer), all UTV's and SxS's that were, until now, illegal to ride on any public road in Ontario. While it's still up to the local municipality to decide, the Ontario government has given the go-ahead for SxS's and UTV's to receive the same privileges that apply to ATVs. The one thing that needs to be clearly spelled out is that this designation simply changes what the definition of an ATV is to include UTV and SxS equipment. It does not supersede any municipal regulations that may be in place. If you could previously ride an ATV on the shoulder of the road in your area, you can now ride a SxS with a passenger(s) in the same fashion. ATV's that are capable of

carrying a passenger are also legal, provided the passenger seat and foot pegs are in place from the manufacturer.

Quick Facts: • Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) is a broad term that can include single-rider, twoup and side-by-side ATVs and utility terrain vehicles.

• Drivers operating a permitted ORV along a road or highway must hold at least a G2 or M2 driver's licence, and their vehicle must be registered and insured.

• Helmets, seat belts (where applicable) must be worn

at all times, speed limits must be obeyed (generally, 20 km/h in a 50 km/h speed limit or less, and 50 km/h in posted areas over 50 km/h), insurance, plates, all the normal rules apply.

• No drinking and driving!

Impaired operation on an ATV/UTV carries the same penalties as if you were driving a car.

Enjoy Ontario's vast trail systems and have fun! But, lead by example. Drive safe, drive sober, and slow down!

• Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me?

Grandparent or Emergency Scam In a typical "emergency" scam, the victim receives a phone call or e-mail from someone claiming to be a friend or relative, like a grandchild in distress. The caller or e-mailer goes on to indicate that they are in some kind of trouble, such as being in a car crash, they need money for bail, or they are having trouble returning from a foreign country. The fraudster specifically asks that the victims to not tell other relatives. You may get a call from two people, one pretending to be your grandchild and the other pretending to be either a police officer or a lawyer.

Your "grandchild" asks questions during the call, getting victims to volunteer personal information. Victims (often seniors) generally don't verify the story until after their money has been sent through a wire transfer service or they have given access to personal banking or credit card information to criminals.

Counterfeit Money Scam The OPP would like to warn the public about fake bills.

The OPP, have received complaints from local business about fake $100 bills.

The OPP are advising that the poor quality copies don't retain the print from its synthetic polymer surface, also known as plastic money.

COUNCIL NEWS

Council waived the rental fees for the Curling Ice Surface, Banquet Room and Lounge at the Community Centre for the Bumps, Babies and Beyond Expo to be held September 8th.

Council authorized the donation of a Building Permit, Dog Licence, Fitness Pass, Transit Pass and a Family Skating Season Pass for a total value of $372 to each of two events: 17th Annual Charity Golf Tournament held July 6th, and the 12th Annual William G. Rose Memorial Golf Tournament to be held Friday July 20th.

The Outdoorsman Motel operator has requested Council to authorize the reduction in the sewer and water rates as it is operating only 17 commercial rooms as of April. The Motel operators are continuing to renovate the additional 20 rooms with the goal to open all rooms by the spring of 2019. Answering this rquest Council agreed to provide the Outdoorsman Motel with a sewer and water rebate equal to 40.4% of the total charges for the period April 20th to December 31st, 2018.

A request by Brendan and Shirley Kenny to install a wooden cross at the Woodland Cemetery was supported by Council with two conditions: that the cross dimensions be no larger than the imprint of a headstone, and the cross be maintained and aesthetically appealing.

A Public Hearing in accordance with the Planning Act proceeded. Dr. Carl Bowyer had made a Minor Variance application to reduce the front yard setback and increase the maximum height for an accessory building at 21-23 Mackey. Council granted the request as no objections were received.

Council approved for payment the list of accounts for June in a total amount of $2,316,963.48.

The Municipality granted a Waiver of Facility Fees for the use of the Community Centre for the 2018 Wawa Music Festival, including a Municipal Donation from the bar sales.

Pertaining to the Wawa Waterfront Construction Project, Phase 1, one tender was received, evaluated and a recommendation made to accept the tender from J. Provost Contracting Ltd.

Council accepted the tender received from J. Provost Contracting Ltd for the Wawa Waterfront Construction Project - Phase

1 at a cost of $1,118,700 HST included.

Council approved the appointment of Maury O'Neill, Pat Tait and Jayne Griffith to the Michipicoten Non-Profit Housing Corporation Board of Directors.

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.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

News From The Park Michael Mantha MPP

First and foremost I want to say how honoured I am to again have the privilege of bringing the voices of the people of Algoma-Manitoulin to Queen’s Park as your MPP. Just like the people who I represent, I am exceedingly proud of this precious land we call home. I am committed to making life better for all Ontarians, both now and for generations to come.

As you know, Premier Ford decided to hastily call the Legislative Assembly to sit this week for its first session under the new Conservative government. Having just days ago sworn in the ministers; they don’t even have all of the necessary ministry staff in place. Some of them are not only fledgling ministers but rookie MPPs as well. Needless to say for them it won’t be a steep learning curve but rather something better represented by a twister. For Ontarians it’s kind of like getting into the passenger seat with a novice driver at the wheel. Fasten your seatbelts. We better hang on for a wild ride.

Many of you will recall from your childhood the first line of the song, “The wheels on the bus go round and round…” I said to myself, “Well, come October 31st, not so much for Greyhound buses.” We all heard the devastating news that the Greyhound Bus Company is pulling all of its routes west and north of Sudbury. This just months after years of pressure that we were finally successful in expanding Ontario Northland bus service to bolster the services of Greyhound so that Northerners had access to safe and reliable public transportation. It must be remembered that not everyone has access to a vehicle of their own. Not everyone can afford such luxury. Thousands of seniors, students and people with medical issues must have some way of getting to school, medical appointments, various services, and a means to maintain family connections.

Greyhound blames a 41% drop in ridership. Well such a drop is not surprising in this region where routes were cut to one per day. For that matter the resulting schedule required many passengers to stand on the TransCanada in the middle of the night or wee hours of the morning to flag down a bus heading their way. Who wants to see their son, daughter or elderly mother in ill health standing on a dark highway in snow or rain at 4:00 a.m.? Northerners have a right to expect access to safe and reliable intercity public transportation. The Conservatives promised to understand and see to the unique needs of Northerners.

It is important that we hold them to this commitment.

One of the first items on

Fords agenda is to rip up Ontario’s cap-and-trade agreements as well as terminate recently signed contracts for windfarms. This move clearly demonstrates that Doug Ford’s anti-environment crusade is truly a priority for his government. Such decisions will put Ontario’s air, water and land at risk – and cost people and the province billions of dollars. Since our fledgling premier wasn’t an MPP when the Liberal’s gas plant scandal cost Ontario taxpayers over $ 1 billion for just a hole in the ground when they canceled those deals, Ford doesn’t know about any of that. As well, Ford has set aside at least $30 million for court costs to fight a hopeless battle with the Federal Government over the capand-trade issue. And how much will it cost Ford to cancel the signed contracts for windfarms? “Gas Scandal Part Deux?”

Scrapping all clean-air and climate change initiatives will hurt Ontario – and doing that without any sort of a replacement carbon reduction initiative is completely irresponsible. Maybe Ford should have given his Ministers the time needed to settle into their jobs and get a handle on the entire portfolio before recalling the Legislature and making off the cuff/bumper sticker decisions.

Ontario families deserve clean lakes, and healthy smog-free air. They deserve a plan that will at least leave our children and grandchildren with a province clean and beautiful as the province we inherited from our parents.

Ontario businesses have spent billions on carbon allowances, including hundreds of millions on carbon allowances that apply to the period starting in 2021. If cap-and-trade is scrapped and these allowances are then worthless in Ontario, will the province be on the hook to compensate those businesses? And how will Mr. Ford replace the $1.9 billion per year that the capand-trade auction brings in for the province? Will he be making another $2 billion in cuts to essential programs Ontarians count on?

Like I said, we all better buckle-up. It’s going to be interesting to witness this wild ride with Ontario’s “first ever government for the people,” at the wheel.

As always, please feel free to contact my office about these issues, or any other provincial matters. You can reach my constituency office by email at mmantha-co@ndp.on.ca or by phone at 705- 461-9710 or Toll free 1-800-831-1899.

Child Poverty Remains A Huge Problem For Canada

In 1989 parliament unanimously passed a motion calling for the end of child poverty in Canada by the year 2000. That led to the creation of Campaign 2000, a crossCanada public education movement to build awareness and support for the parliamentary motion and efforts to achieve its goal. One of the main focusses of Campaign 2000’s work is publishing research on the indicators of child poverty and developing public education resources.

Their report cards serve as a reminder to parliament of its stated commitment and help Canadians see where the challenges are greatest.

To this day, an unacceptably high percentage of Canadian children remain below the poverty line. Despite being one of the wealthiest nations in the world, 1.2 million Canadian children are growing up below the poverty line. That amounts to 17.4% of all children. Among the Indigenous population the number balloons to a shockingly high 37.9%. Predictably, and as Campaign 2000 puts it, “deplorably”, children in marginalized families – Indigenous, racialized, recent immigrant, mother-led, or

those affected by disability live in poverty at a greater rate than any others.

This year’s Campaign 2000 report took a riding-by-riding approach to inform parliamentarians of the specific challenges in the areas they represent. The report used a five level graph to illustrate poverty levels which ranged from a low average of 8.9% to high of 29.6%. It revealed where the current levels are the worst and one big surprise was that 40% of children live in poverty in the riding of Toronto Centre.

However, despite any surprises, there were many predictable findings from what seem to be intractable problems.

Algoma-ManitoulinKapuskasing falls into the fourth highest quintile with a rate ranging from 18.7% – 22.7% of children living below the poverty line. Parts of Canada at this rate share indicators such as correspondingly high rates of single parent families, lower rates of labour market participation, higher rates of unemployment, higher rates of renting rather than home ownership, and paying more than 30% of income on housing. These indicators closely match the

report’s findings about rural areas where four out of ten low-income Canadian children live.

You may recall that the government made specific campaign promises to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty. They also said they would establish a dedicated poverty reduction strategy, but we are still waiting for these promises to be addressed. Campaign 2000 points out that any solutions must involve all three levels of government along with Indigenous governments and participation from the private and non-profit sectors as well.

We are told that we live in an era of unprecedented wealth, but it is clear the distribution of that is not flowing through all of society. With rates of child poverty seemingly unmoved over decades something is wrong with any official efforts to address the problem. The parliamentary motion to end child poverty by the year 2000 will mark its 30th anniversary next year.

Without child poverty becoming a pressing concern for the government, we may well be discussing it as it reaches 50 which would be a true shame.

The Crime Scene ___________________ la scène du crime

Keeping The Roads Safe OPP Launch 'Operation Safe Trucking' July 15 - 21, 2018 (WAWA, ON) - The Superior East Detachments of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding all motoring public about Operation Safe Trucking. This annual campaign focusses on enforcing rules of the road and moving violations, but specifically for Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV).

The OPP investigates thousands of preventable CMV collisions every year, making this a serious road safety issue.

In 2015 and 2016, the OPP responded to a total of 13,668 collisions that involved a large commercial transport truck, in which 155 people lost their lives over the twoyear period. Last year (2017) marked a ten-year high in fatal CMV collisions, with 91 people being killed in 76 collisions.

So far this year (January 1 to July 9, 2018), the OPP has responded to more than 3,600 transport truck-related collisions; those numbers are up 38 per cent when compared to this time last year.

Forty one (41) people have died in the crashes.

As part of the OPP's commitment to saving lives on Ontario roads, the OPP has developed a CMV Collision Mitigation Strategy that aims to reduce the number of CMV-related collisions on OPP-patrolled roads and highways.

The OPP continues to collaborate with the many road safety partners who share our commitment to enhancing safety on our roads.

The Superior East OPP is reminding the public that officers will be focusing on violations such as: Follow too close, Speeding, Improper lane change, Distracted Driving, Improper Turns, Fail to Yield Right of Way, Improper Passing and Disobey Traffic Control. These violations are attributable to many CMV involved collisions and the OPP remind the public to drive carefully, so that everyone can make it home safely.

Male Arrested For Stolen Property (SAULT STE. MARIE, ON) - On June 28, 2018 members of the Sault Ste. Marie Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a male who was in possession of stolen property.

As a result of the investigation, Jeremy MILLER 28-years-old of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario was arrested and charged with the following: • One count- Possession of property obtained by crime under $5000 contrary to section 355(b) of the Criminal Code.

With Jim White

The Bear Attack As Told From The Human's Side Hi, my name is Barry Bearon. I am a 52-year old man who loves living here in the north in the town of Forbearing. It has everything I want – beautiful scenery, being close to the bush, lots of wildlife to hunt, and fishing opportunities galore in lots of lakes. I am lucky that both my wife, Beryl and I have the same feelings and interests.

We have a camp on Bearcub Lake to go to when we want to get out of town.

It is not too far out of town, with just a half hour drive. It makes for a good 'base camp' for this fishing and hunting we like to do, as well as the snowmobiling in the winter.

I must admit it is a bit rustic yet, though. We just took it over last summer from Ron Berry, an old trapper who had a hip operation a couple of years ago. He was a friend of my father, and that is why we got the camp. If he hadn't known him, and put in a good word for us, I know we would never have had a chance to acquire it in such a good deal.

He never fully recovered from the surgery, and is now in a long term care facility.

It was in bad shape when we took it over, and so far we have only done a few upgrades. We have a rough dirt road hacked out of the bush into the camp from the main logging road, but at least we can drive in with our truck and trailer. Mr. Berry just had a walking path into the camp from the main road.

These oldtimers sure are a tough lot, I must say. Wish I had that. Us baby boomers are a soft lot, at least speaking for myself anyway. I have a friend lined up to clear out some more brush to widen it a bit more, and do some grading. That is coming later this summer I hope.

It has been a long winter, and it was really late for me to get into camp for the first time. But we have been able to get out to camp every weekend in June. However this weekend Beryl has agreed to let me have this weekend in mid July with my buddies.

She had already planned a 'girls' weekend of shopping out of town with some of her friends, so it worked out good for both of us. She wants some curtains, and cooking utensils, and I don't know what else for the camp, to 'spruce' it up. Women, eh! Us guys don't need all this fussy stuff, but anyway, what can you do to keep peace.

So I got my half ton loaded up with the supplies I needed on Friday evening, right after work. I had a couple of my buddies, Josh & Cody, come along to help out. They came in Cody's truck.

We had a ball getting the

camp ready on Friday night.

We got the propane for the stove and refrigerator hooked up again for another season, set up our sleeping bags, and got the groceries unpacked, and most importantly - the beer. Over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we polished those three cases off without a problem. We also polished off a bottle of rum.

On Saturday we finally got the boat and motor in the water, ready for another season. The dock needed a few boards replaced, and we got that done too. We got a new deck built by the side door, and inside we installed a cupboard for Beryl to use for storing dry food, dishes, and pots & pans.

We finally got out fishing and were successful. It was a nice sunny warm day, despite the wind. We had a delicious barbecue on Saturday night with our fresh catch, along with corn on the cob, and home fries. Josh made a nice salad. Then we gobbled down a few cookies, and settled down to cards and beer.

Unfortunately my buddies had to get back to town on Sunday afternoon, as they both had to work on Monday.

Josh mentioned at breakfast on Sunday morning about hearing some strange sounds outside during the night, but when he looked out the door, he didn't see anything, but was sure he heard noises like snapping twigs and snorting in the bushes moving away from the camp. They quickly faded away and all was silent again. He shrugged it off, as he crawled back into his sleeping bag. He then heard a wolf howling way off in the distance, and a loon calling really close by on the lake.

That added to the eeriness he felt. He admitted it took him quite a while to get back to sleep. Cody and I had slept through all of this. Josh joked that maybe it was the boogeyman coming to get us, and got scared off when he heard this big bad Cody was up and on the case. We laughed at that. Then Josh suggested maybe it was a bear coming around to inspect what we had done to the camp and what a fine gourmet meal he could devour. Cody and I groaned at that comment, and he suggested if it was an animal of any kind, it was likely just a raccoon or rabbit.

It was Josh and me who snickered at that.

Anyway, the subject quickly got changed to the idea of getting a little bit more fishing in before they headed out in the afternoon. We were able to do that, and we caught three walleye, one for each of us. Josh and Cody packed their fish in their coolers and headed back to town around four that Sunday afternoon.

I stayed over though, since I didn't have to be back to work until Tuesday, as I had booked a vacation day for the Monday. I had more work that I wanted to get done before I headed back. It was stuff that could be done by myself, and the guys there would only be in the way.

Sunday evening it clouded up and looked like rain. It stayed warm though. That brought out the black flies and mosquitoes too, unfortunately!

That was another reason why I was glad to have the inside work to do. So I got started.

I got the cupboard painted by five in the afternoon. I baked my fish in the oven – no barbecue this day! In the evening I worked on putting in ceramic tiles on the kitchen counter top as per Beryl's request.. That would finish up the kitchen area for her to work in for the following weekend. By the time I got all that done, and cleaned up, it was nearly midnight.

Sunday night I had a bag of garbage ready to take out.

Not really thinking too much about it, I put it just outside the back door on the new deck. I was so tired.

It impaired my judgment. I thought to myself that I could take it over to the truck first thing in the morning. As you can sense, this turned out to be a bad mistake. Yes, we are talking about a bear encounter. An attack would be a better word for it.

However, first things first.

I finally got to bed a little after midnight that Sunday night, or early Monday morning I guess to be more accurate.. I woke up with a start about five. I thought I heard a snorting sound outside my bedroom window. I listened for more sounds, but it was quiet, except for a light wind rustling through the trees.

So I shrugged it off, putting it down to my imagination.

But I was awake enough to realize that I had to go for a pee. I got my shirt and pants on, and my work boots. I didn't bother tying them up though. I groggily headed for the door to go to the outside privy – yes there is no indoor plumbing at my camp yet.

That is another project I plan to tackle this summer or in the fall, if it all works out.

Anyway I digress.

I opened the door and stepped out onto the deck.

I don't know who was more surprised – me or this huge bear tearing away at the plastic garbage bag I had put there last night. I was at once wide awake and in panic mode.

Stupidly I backed away from the bear and lost my balance as I fell off the deck onto my back. Why I didn't immediately get up and retreat into the camp, I don't know. I was still in disbelief, I guess, and not thinking very fast. Still a little hung over from all the beer I consumed last night didn't help either.

But this bear did the same thing. She backed up and fell off the deck onto her rump. I was stunned how quickly she

recovered – certainly quicker than me. She got up on all fours, snorted, and leaped back onto the deck, across it, and on top of me before I could react at all. Her weight took all the wind out of me.

I wasn't thinking at first as I was so stunned. Then I thought that I had better play dead, and hope she would give up on me. I also debated about hitting her on the nose or some part of her body, but my arms were pinned, so I couldn't have done that, even if I wanted to. At first she just sniffed my face. Her breath was foul, to say the least.

As this was happening, though, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a couple of dark blotches pass by.

Then above my head I heard two voices snorting. I soon learned what that was all about. Two small bear cubs moved into my line of vision, down to my side, and up onto the deck, all the while making guttural noises, as if talking to this big bear. Despite my terror and pain, I had to admit they looked cute.

They headed for the garbage by the door, and began rummaging through it. I guessed that they were likely one year old cubs, and this big bear on my chest was their mother. Heaven help me! I was sure that I would be dead very shortly. As the saying goes, my life flashed in front of my eyes.

But to my relief, I was spared. She swung her huge right paw at my face. Her claws tore through my hair down to my scalp, and took off my ear lobe. It was funny.

I grimaced in pain, waiting for more swats, or having her bite into my neck, or something, to finish me off - but that was it. She got up off me, and waddled back onto the deck and joined the cubs shredding my garbage to pieces. I was in total shock at this point, I think. I heard all three grunting and snorting as they went through the garbage. Anyway, I just lay there, watching them feasting on my fish skins and bones and guts and other garbage. I was afraid to move, for fear she would attack me again before I could retreat back into the camp. I did pull my shirt up to my head to stop the bleeding. After about twenty minutes, I guess, they jumped off the deck and lazily wandered up the road, disappearing out of my sight.

By then, the bleeding from my scalp and ear wound had stopped. I gingerly got up, and gasped at the pain on my right side. I realized it was likely a broken rib, and my sternum was badly bruised.

In agony, I managed to drag myself into the camp, with a real effort, as breathing was agony. My legs were like rubber, and I felt dizzy and sick to my stomach. I found a bottle of whiskey. I downed that in one gulp. My body was aching all over by this time, and I felt a major headache coming on. Unfortunately there were no pain killers of any sort around. I hesitantly looked

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

in the mirror in the bedroom.

My face didn't look too bad, I thought, considering the swat she had given me. It felt worse than it looked, I had to admit.

But just the same, this whole ordeal had really rattled me.

I knew that I had to get into town quick, before shock took over completely, and get this looked after. I also needed to report this encounter to the authorities, and warn my two other neighbours who had camps on the lake. I left all my stuff where it was laying as of Sunday night, as well as the strewn garbage. I know that I should have taken the time to clean it up, but I needed to get out of there fast. I jumped in my truck and headed out. I watched for the three bears, but never did see them again. Neither of my two neighbours were there, so I headed on into town.

I got in about nine. I headed to the hospital first.

Needless to say, Beryl was horrified when she finally saw me and my face that afternoon. I ended up getting stitches in my scalp where the worst tear was. My ear lobe was gone and that was bandaged. My ribs were wrapped. I also had to have a tetanus shot. But other than that, I felt fine! Yeah, right.

I was released late Monday afternoon. Unfortunately seeing me like that has traumatized Beryl from wanting to go to the camp ever again. I must admit that I am too, but I won't tell her that. I tried to convince myself that it was just a chance encouner, but in the back of my mind I figured this was the territory for these bears, and another encounter was inevitable. But that's another story. This is just the story of my first ever bear attack. I hope it's my last.

Now The Bear's Side Hi. My name is Brunella Bear. I am the mother of two one-year old cubs. My son's name is Bruin, and my daughter's name is Bruscilla. They are my pride and joy.

Last year we had a fight with our other relatives. We all lived in the area of the town dump. It was a bear's delight. Always lots of garbage to feast on – a different menu every night. However, by late summer, it was just getting too crowded for us all to stay there together.

Tempers were flaring a lot.

So I decided to find a new territory for me and the kids to claim. After a long wandering search, we came across this area surrounding what these humans call Bearcub Lake. It felt welcoming. We found a nice den to settle in for the winter. There was lots of blueberries to feast on, as well as lots of other delights. There was several buildings around the lake that you humans built. We don't appreciate that part, but you do leave us enough garbage food to keep us from going hungry. Yes, we are quite happy in our new territory.

Story Continued on Next Page...

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

...Story Continued From Previous Page At this particular period of time in July we were on tour.

On Saturday we were checking out the north end around the lake when we saw a 'boat', I believe it's called, out in the middle of the lake. There were three of you humans in it, tossing string and a stick out of the boat. My son noticed that one of the figures pulled up a fish. He commented about what an ingenious way to get a meal.

We should try it, he commented to me. I just sniffed and moved along.

On Sunday we covered the east end of the lake. We found a nice open meadow to settle down and have a nap in the afternoon. We stayed there until early evening, when we were getting hungry again. That was when we met up with Bullwinkle Moose. He was heading down to a swampy area on the other side of this meadow. We chatted for a while. During the conversation he warned us of a cabin that was occupied with humans. He smelt them and heard them moving inside. When the door opened it startled him and that was when he made a beeline into the bush to get as far away and as fast as he could. He sure didn't want to encounter them, he declared.

We agreed with him. That was earlier this Sunday morning. Finally we ended our conversation, and went our separate ways.

We wandered down to the lake shore. As we were having a drink, I picked up the faint sent of rotting fish. So we started making our way towards that smell. As it became stronger, I moved along faster than the kids did.

It was just turning to dawn on this Monday morning when I came upon the cause of my hunger pangs. It was one of these 'camps'. I sniffed the air, enjoying the appetizing smell of what was going to be a gourmet meal. I walked up

on the deck and began tearing open the plastic bag. I was so intent on getting into it that I never heard or noticed my mate standing there. We were both shocked at seeing each other at exactly the same time. I jumped backwards off the deck and fell on my tush.

He did the same. I lunged at him before he could get up. My hormones kicked in.

I pinned him to the ground.

That was when the kids came along. My daughter pointed out that this was not Dad, or even a bear of any kind. It was a human. She made me mad as she was working on the garbage bag along with her brother, when she commented that I must be getting cataracts since I couldn't tell the difference between the two. In my anger, I slapped him, dragging my paw down his face., just to make a point about not messing with me.

My dear daughter pointed out that it was not a good idea. She reminded me how nasty these humans can get when they have these runins with us. We always end up on the 'short end of the stick'. She remembered this from an encounter that her Uncle Bearpaw had last year as he was heading back to the dump after his usual checking of his territory. I took note of her concern, but the smell of the fish carcasses and other garbage took over. I got off him and went back to the bag on the deck. We finished cleaning up our meal, and then we meandered up the road he had cut out of the bush for a short distance before heading into the bush where we struck out towards the west end of the lake, keeping our circular route around the lake in place. I couldn't wait until the next time we came here. Hopefully this human provides another delicious meal, but leaves us alone to enjoy it in peace.

And that was our first closeup encounter with a human here at our new home.. I hope it is our last.

Putting CANADA On The Menu!

Celebrating Canadian Food With Top Chefs And Canada's Most Iconic Icon, The Cn Tower Food Day Canada is Saturday August 4th, 2018 (Elora, ON) Fifteen years ago in 2003, our borders were closed to Canadian beef. It may have been an economic disaster, but it was not a culinary one. In response, The World’s Longest Barbecue was born: Canadians rallied, went to their grills, and barbecued Canadian beef to show their support. According to one spokesperson for Canada Beef, this event “saved the industry.” Over the years, many renowned Canadian chefs have joined the annual party, renamed Food Day Canada / Journée des terroirs, which is a national celebration of local food (always celebrated on the August long weekend).

This year, on August 4th with our chefs’ community and producers across Canada, we will celebrate Food Day Canada’s 15th year anniversary by lighting the most recognizable - and tallest - beacon in the Western Hemisphere, Toronto's glorious CN Tower.

Today we face similar, perhaps even graver challenges.

As Dr. Owen Roberts, the President of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists, states: “Our food system is under fire. No mat-

ter how the politics plays out nationally or globally, this is a time for fierce loyalty and coordinated action.”

So rather than lament, we challenge all Canadians to have a party and honour our own ingredients, with one simple goal, culinary sovereignty.

What: Canada’s food community is coming together to declare Food Day Canada/ Journée des terroirs, as Canada’s Local Food Day. Cook like a Canadian. Eat like a Canadian. Shop like a Canadian.

Who: Anyone and everyone; chefs, home cooks, farmers, fishers, writers, ranchers…anyone who loves Canadian ingredients.

Where: Anywhere and everywhere in Canada!

Backyard BBQs, picnics, dine in, dine out. Enjoy Canadiangrown, Canadian-made food.

When: All Day Long on Saturday August 4th, 2018 Website: fooddaycanada. ca Instagram: https://www. instagram.com/foodday canada/ Twitter: @fooddaycanada Facebook: Facebook.com/ foodday

Lelo Summer Tips: Challenge Accepted: Surviving Summer Festival Season

You got the tickets ages ago, finally settled on the perfect outfit, prepped your selfie stick and so the only thing left is to show up and slay the summer festival scene. But as most of you already know - that's easier said than done.

It's the same tired old story every year - you planned everything down to the most minute detail and counted down the days until you could finally stand in front of your favorite band. You couldn't wait to blow off some steam and dance your heart out until the break of dawn, but… But. But something came up again - it started raining, you got separated from your friends, of course, the cell-reception is poor, you look like you rolled around in a giant beer puddle… You know, the usual.

The secret to having a good time at any festival, unencumbered by worries such as “I stink like a wet dog” or “I will die of thirst right this second” or “Is this condom still okay even though I had it for 5 years?” rests in detailed planning. By using a couple of more grey cells than usual, you'll successfully avoid dealing with crisis upon crisis and manage to enjoy yourself to the fullest. Yes, it makes the whole thing a whole lot less spontaneous, but it's totally worth it.

In order to save you some time and because we've all been there, here is some useful advice that will get you on the right track to the best time of your life: 1. Play by the rules.

Yes, it's very chic to be a rebel, but having to throw away that expensive perfume bottle you spent waaay too much on because you can't have it on festival grounds definitely does not fall under the chic category. It's just dumb. And very sad. Every festival website has the list of items that aren't allowed on the grounds. Read it and pack accordingly. Also, make sure to hit that ATM. Most places have a one-time-entranceonly policy which means you'll be stranded and at the mercy of festival economy with no money.

2. Water definitely isn't the life of the party, but without it, you won't be either.

You won't be able to get your water bottle past the security guards, so as soon as you enter, make a beeline for the first bar and get a couple of waters. Stuff them in your trusty festival backpack (a must-have), then happily order your spirit of choice.

Water will save you from the merciless summer heat, and if you drink enough of it, it might even spare you from a raging hangover the following morning.

3. Pack smart and dress in layers.

Luckily, boho is always in during festival season. Make sure your outfit consists of several practical pieces that will see you through all weather conditions - rain, shine or beer spray from overzealous partiers. Focus on natural fabrics that will let your skin breathe freely (no more Eau De Wet Dog) and bring a spare shirt and a spare pair of socks.

4. Go analog with your meetup plans.

Think back to any concert you've been to in the past. It got pretty loud, didn't it? To avoid excess wandering and frustrating attempts to make a phone call while waving your hands in the air like an idiot who didn't care to make proper contingency plans, set up a meetup spot in case you get separated from your friends. Try to be as precise as possible. “Meet me by the beer stand” isn't precise when there are 20 of them lying around.

5. Wet-wipes are more than baby bum cleaners.

You'll thank us after your first encounter with the toilet.

Plus they're handy at getting that cheap beer smell out of your skin.

6. Stay safe and play safe.

Yes, we know it's summer and you just want to lie back and enjoy yourself. The outside world kind of fades away the moment you step onto the festival grounds and every single one of us turns into a glutton for the good times.

LELO, the world's leading pleasure brand and a big advocate of the good times, wants you to make an effort and enjoy yourself responsibly. That kind of sounds like a big fat oxymoron but it makes perfect sense, just let us explain. It's really hard not to let go and enjoy the moment once the rhythm sets in. You're ready to give in and let yourself get carried away by the pulsating lights and undulating bodies and trust that all seems right with the world. Consequences?

Adulthood? Responsibilities?

Pish, it's summer!
