Keep Your Kids Safe From Electrical Hazards This Summer

Hawk Junction 2016 Annual Horseshoe Pitch

The Hawk Junction 2016 Annual Horseshoe Pitch was a great success. The weather was not the greatest, but through rain and shine the tournament when on.

There were 12 men’s teams and 11 ladies’ teams entered, plaques and cash prizes were given out to all winners.

Everyone had a great time, even when it rained they just play on. The children enjoyed playing in the playground

area, grandparents, parents and old friends socialized.

A great time was had by all.

Hawk Junction Local Services Board would like to thank the volunteers and everyone who attended this event in making it a successful and fun day.

The winners for the lady’s teams were: • 1st place Joanne Boissoneau and Diedre Dupuis

Many Canadians love to barbecue all year round, but especially when the weather starts to get warm. As with any type of cooking, it's important to follow safe food handling guidelines to prevent harmful bacteria from spreading and causing foodborne illness.

Here are some helpful tips and facts about food safety and barbecues: • Store raw meat in the refrigerator immediately after you return from the grocery store. Freeze raw poultry or ground beef that won't be used within one to two days. Freeze other raw meats if they won't be used within four to five days.

• Marinate meat in the refrigerator, not on the counter. If you want to save some of the marinade to baste cooked meat or use as a dipping sauce, make sure to set some aside in the refrigerator that hasn't touched uncooked meat. Don't use leftover marinade that

has been in contact with raw meat on cooked food.

Make sure to keep raw meat away from other foods, including vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes. You can do this by packing meats separately or by making sure they are wrapped separately, so that juices don't leak out onto other foods.

Use separate utensils, cutting boards, dishes and other cooking equipment when handling raw and cooked meats. For example, do not place cooked meat on the same plate used to bring the raw meat to the BBQ. Raw juices can spread bacteria to your safely-cooked food and cause foodborne illness.

Wash your hands carefully with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw meat.

Bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter are killed by heat. Raw meat must

be cooked properly to a safe internal temperature to avoid foodborne illness. Colour alone is not a reliable indicator that meat is safe to eat. Meat can turn brown before all the bacteria are killed, so use a digital food thermometer to be sure.

Did you know?

The metal bristles on your BBQ brush can become loose over time and get stuck to the grill during cleaning. This could result in the bristles getting transferred to the food and potentially being swallowed. Make sure to inspect your BBQ brush before each use and throw it away if you notice that the bristles are loose or stuck to the grill.

In last weeks issue, the article & photo from "Simon and Corine" was written by Karin Grundt.

We apologize for the oversight and we hope that you all enjoyed the article written by Karin as much as we did!

As the carefree days of summer fill our lives, make it a priority to talk to your children about playing safe outside and staying away from electrical safety hazards. Here are seven important tips to help protect your kids: 1. Make sure kids understand that they need to obey warning signs and keep away from outdoor areas marked “Danger” or “Danger High Voltage”. No one should ever attempt to enter a station.

2. Remind them that before they climb a tree, it is a must to look up to make sure there are no hydro wires running through or beside it.

3. Point out overhead power lines and wires so that the kids know where they are and stay clear of them. Never try to touch any overhead

lines with a pole or stick since electricity could travel down that object and cause a shock which could result in a serious injury or death.

4. Take them to a wide open space free of electrical lines to fly kites, balloons and toy aircraft.

5. Make sure kids know to respect utility electrical equipment and never touch or climb poles, towers or metal transformer boxes.

6. Teach them to avoid wide open spaces, pools, splash pads and trees during a lightning storm.

7. And remember to always call 911 in case of an emergency. Don’t touch someone in the state of an electrical shock until the electricity has been turned off.

Swimming Safety Did you know that one of the leading causes of death in children ages 1 to 4 is drowning?

Carefully supervise your children, secure the area around your backyard pool and teach your children about water safety. This can help prevent serious injuries and death.

Here are some more tips to help keep your children safe around water: • Help your children learn about water safety by signing them up for a swimming and water safety program, sign yourself up for first aid training to learn basic lifesaving skills.

• Make sure young children and inexperienced swimmers always wear an approved lifejacket or personal flotation device when playing around water.

Learn how to find the right lifejacket or personal flota-

tion device for your children.

Choose a safe place to swim, such as a supervised beach or public swimming pool. Check with your municipality for health and safety notices before wading into the water. This can include warnings about water pollution levels or a strong undertow.

Many children drown in unsecured backyard pools. Build a fence around your pool to help prevent drowning accidents.

Keep lifesaving equipment (such as a safety ring with a rope) and a first aid kit near the pool.

Keep a safety cover on your pool when it is not in use.

A word from the Mayor of Bruce Mines With Lory Patteri We Appreciate You!

Bruce Station Home Hardware hosted their Customer Appreciation Day on Saturday June 18th.

Everyone who made a purchase that day received a scratch ticket with a chance to win up to 50% off their entire purchase. Bonus!

Members of our volunteer Fire Department were on hand grilling tasty burgers and Jan and Barb of Nostalgia Live! entertained both customers and staff.

Ed and staff would like to

thank everyone for their business this past year and they look forward to seeing you for many many years to come.

Community Gardens Part of the funding our municipality received in conjunction with the Healthy Kids Community Challenge was to be allocated to either enhance or build community gardens and build we did!

Eight new gardens are located by the Joyce Vaughan Pavilion at our waterfront. The aim of these gardens is that they be planted by kids, maintained by kids and, in the fall, harvested by kids. The goal is to show children how fun and rewarding it can be to grow your own vegetables and to eat the “fruits” of your labour.

Planting took place on June 22nd and about 18 children from Arthur Henderson Public School helped with this project. Actually, they did more than help. They basically planted all 8 beds with the help of two teachers and Councillor Chisholm and myself. They planted tomatoes, all sorts of herbs, and an assortment of seeds. We even have our own pumpkin patch!

The goal through the summer is to have the kids and community members alike maintain the beds with some weeding and watering and hopefully, when school is back in, much of it can be harvested.

We’re hoping to have a workshop at that time where the kids can learn about freezing and canning their produce.

Farmer’s Market Speaking of gardens and produce, don’t forget that the Johnson’s Farmers Market is going to be in Bruce Mines this summer They will be set up under the new pavilion on Wednesday afternoons for the months of July and August and their hours will be 3-6 p.m.

Having a farmer’s market here has been a long time coming so please come out and support their satellite location.

The Wawa Black Fly Run committee would like to thank our sponsors, our volunteers and the participants for another successful event!

NUTS ‘N’ BOLTS

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

What’s The Matter With This Paper!

I was sitting at a table in a restaurant the other day, idly picking at the corner of a paper placemat while I waited for my lunch. The mats, laid out in advance for up to four guests at my table were all curling slightly at the edges which facilitated my rolling them back and forth.

This same condition also irritated me a little following the arrival of my food because those lifted corners would snag at my elbows or wrists as I moved my hands over my plate to select morsels to transport to my mouth.

Now this sounds like such a minor irritation that it’s hardly worth mentioning especially since I had exacerbated the problem by poking at and rolling the corners myself.

But irritating it was and, ultimately, I lifted my plate and flipped the placemat upside down which made the darn thing lay flat.

The whole exercise got me thinking about paper that is upside down. It doesn’t occur to most that there is a difference in the two sides of a sheet of paper. They even have a name for each side.

The “felt”side and the “wire” side. In the old days there was often a marked difference in the two sides. You might even be able to feel the difference with your fingertips on some stocks. It’s a little harder to tell the difference in the two sides of modern paper but it’s still there and some effects on performance during printing or handling

still show up.

I can say a lot of this through fifty years of experience as a printer. There is definitely a front and a back to a sheet of paper. The distinction can make a difference to a process such as printing or even how it will pass through a copier or fax machine. Having a lot of trouble with misfeeds on your copier? Try turning the paper over in the feeder.

“Felt” side up is usually less problems.

Those two sides to paper are a result of the papermaking process which remains basically the same over centuries. Pulp is sprayed onto a mesh, a fine screen, effectively. The screen allows the escape of water and holds the pulp. Afelt-like material is pressed to the layer of pulp to further remove water and smooth the surface of the sheet. This material won’t stick to the pulp as it dries into a sheet of paper.

Hence, the up side of the finished sheet is “the felt side” and the back of the sheet is “the wire side”, the side that was against the mesh screen.

With the two sides being different in structure they can perform differently.

As I look across my lunch table I note that all the placemats have a slight upward curl, indicating they are printed “wire side up”, an unusual situation from a printer’s point of view.

Ah, well. I’ll just turn mine over.

Premier Wynne Meets With Governor Of Massachusetts To Advance Trade And Innovations Office of the Premier On the final day of her U.S. tour, Premier Kathleen Wynne released the following statement on June 17th, 2016 after finishing a productive meeting with Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker in Boston.

"Today, Governor Baker and I met to discuss new trade opportunities and share ideas on developing innovative, knowledge-based economies.

Ontario and Massachusetts have much in common -both regions are innovation hubs, particularly for the ICT and financial industries, and both regions are home to world-class research institutions. Working together on research and innovation is a natural fit, and it will benefit both regions by generating economic growth and creating high-value jobs.

Ontario's strong entrepreneurial system, leadership in innovation and competitive

business environment make our province the ideal place to kick-start new ideas. Each year, more than $14 billion is spent on research and development in Ontario, and more than 100,000 businesses and university-based researchers work on projects ranging from life-saving vaccines to next-generation wireless devices.

Trade between Ontario and Massachusetts is steadily increasing and has almost doubled since 2009 -- in 2015, two-way trade between our two jurisdictions was valued at more than $5.3 billion -but there is still much more we can do to foster new trade opportunities.

My meeting with Governor Baker helped to lay the foundation for future partnerships and increased trade opportunities, which will strengthen our economies and create jobs in both Ontario and Massachusetts."

Ontario Taking Action to Protect Young Workers Province Launches Initiatives Focusing on Enforcement and Prevention

Ministry of Labour As young people across Ontario start looking for summer jobs, Ontario is launching several initiatives to protect young workers in seasonal, part-time or temporary employment.

Workers that are new to their job, including young workers, are three times more likely to be injured in the first month than at any time. They are also at greater risk of having their employment standards rights violated, such as those involving unpaid wages or hours of work.

The Ministry of Labour's initiatives include: • Launching two provincewide inspection blitzes on health and safety and employment standards, focusing on protecting young workers throughout the summer • Promoting "It's Your Job," a province-wide online video contest encouraging young workers to speak out about their workplace rights • Supporting "Bring Safety Home," a Workplace Safety & Prevention Services campaign targeting parents and other networks of young people • Supporting the creation of

#safe4life, a youth-driven digital media campaign

by Parachute Canada Protecting young workers is part of the government's continued commitment to prevent workplace injuries and illness through its Safe At Work Ontario enforcement initiative.

QUICK FACTS • Every year, more than 6,000 young workers across Ontario are injured seriously enough to need time off work; that’s equivalent to nearly 17 Ontario youth a day.

• There were 17 young worker fatalities (15 to 24 years old) from 2010 to 2015.

• Ontario is one of only a few places in the world to require occupational health and safety education in schools. It is part of the curriculum from kindergarten to Grade 12.

• The Ministry of Labour has conducted a new and young worker health and safety blitz annually for the past eight years. This year’s blitz will be the ninth.

“Carrying the message of Love” with Joan Brooks

Another Mindboggling Change…

Yes, another change is in the making for yours truly.

What kind of change is in the works? I have no idea. I do know the past few months have been tumultuous so say the least. I’ve shared much of it with you when my head was clear enough to formulate one or more sentences.

Chaos! Confusion? Turmoil?

Disorder? Depression? Any one of these could explain it.

Every part of my life, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual was in chaos. And I do know that decades ago they put people away for being in the self-described mess I was in. Enough already!

They say that crisis and chaos always precedes a major change. And they always trigger progress. For that I am grateful. I have an enormous amount of Living to do, and I need a healthy mind, body and Spirit. And for a period of time, I was neither. Reminds me of the flower bed and park I’ve cared for a number of years now. I was a mess, and so goes the flower bed that

for a time; I could not muster up the energy to give it the tender loving care it needed. It too was a mess. Weeds and unwanted gifts from the universe brought in by the wind. That has changed and now the flowers and shrubs and my beloved dahlias can breathe. Can’t wait to see them blooming.

Isn’t this interesting? As I was ‘weeding’ this garden today I couldn’t help but thinking of the number and kinds of weeds that wanted control of the garden. And so, the number and kinds of weeds (read emotions, thought processes, etc) that I’ve been going through.

Perhaps the most profound of them all is my health and the crises I experienced a couple of weeks ago. And while I’m receiving help with my homeopathic program – Praise God – I need to get my nutrition and diet together.

I wasn’t sure how, but went looking through some of my cookbooks and came across Macrobiotic Cooking with

Aveline Kushi. They now have a website www.kushiinstitute. org/about-the-kushi-institute. Yikes. I followed their macrobiotic diet for several years, decades ago. I loved it then, and have started to implement it into my lifestyle again. I find it fascinating that I moved so far away from this type of nutrition. I certainly have no excuse for not following this plan now. I will need to stock up on product at Country Way in Sault Ste Marie – a variety of gluten free whole grains, sea vegetables, etc. I believe they still carry a wide variety of macrobiotic product. And I will need to retrain my body and mind to accept the changes this plan will create.

So this is the most important part of my mindboggling change – getting my health back to where it should be.

While I was able to keep up a semblance of my walking regime, it sure needs a pickme-up. Even my Qigong practice took a big time hit. I stopped it. The good news is that I’m working my way back to a full daily practice. One thing that remained during my ‘painful retreat into insanity’ was my morning meditation. I am so grateful! ‘til next time…this is Joan

Dear Editor, Early Sunday morning June 19, 2016 I was driving down Broadway toward Highway 17 and could not believe my eyes. Every planter on the left side of Broadway had been dumped and the plants

strewn around the sidewalk and road.

The Business Community, Town Employees and Volunteers have put financial and physical resources into making our main street as attractive and welcoming as possible.

For persons to have nothing better to do than to totally destroy these planters makes one wonder about their mentality!!!

I hope the OPP are able to catch the people involved and they receive their just reward!

Waukesha Diversion Is A Slippery Slope It wasn’t that long ago I wrote about the danger presented by a request from the town of Waukesha, Wisconsin to draw its drinking water from Lake Michigan. At that time it seemed that so many groups and communities around the Great Lakes were lining up in opposition to the Mississippi River basin community’s application that it was inconceivable the Great Lake Governors would support it. After all, these are politicians who will have to face the same voters who spoke so strongly against the plan. That is part of what makes the decision to allow Waukesha to divert water out of the Great Lakes basin seem funny.

Now that the diversion will go ahead, the job of protecting the Great Lakes becomes that much harder. These lakes provide drinking water for tens of millions in hundreds of communities around the Lake. On top of that, the health of the lakes impacts on a great many jobs. These aren’t just resource jobs like commercial fishing, there are

consumer and manufacturing jobs that rely on tourism and shipping in clean and plentiful waters. So it only makes sense for Great Lake jurisdictions to do all they can to protect the Lakes. Despite that common knowledge, Waukesha was approved and bulk water diversion looms as a new and potentially disastrous threat.

We have seen in recent years the trouble that fluctuating water levels can create for communities around the Great Lakes. Infrastructure challenges grow as water is depleted. Drinking water intake pipes can freeze when they are closer to the surface and docking facilities can become difficult to use or even unsuitable and unsafe.

Remember how challenges related to docking the Chi Cheemaun Ferry threatened to halt that service and throw a multi-million dollar monkey wrench into the tourist economy on Manitoulin Island, the North Shore of Lake Huron, and the Bruce Peninsula. With challenges like that coming from climatic

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

conditions, we can ill-afford to watch as Great Lakes water disappears through careless diversion - forever.

Waukesha’s approval has many critics. Among them is Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief, Patrick Madahbee who didn’t mince his words on the subject. He says that the plan to remove water from the basin’s drainage is the opening salvo in the water wars we have been warned about and will open the door for other jurisdiction outside the Great Lakes Basin to tap into the waters.

The Anishnabek Nation is not alone with this opinion and groups like the Council of Canadians have been warning us for years that our fresh water is undervalued and requires strong protection.

North American trade deals have so far exempted bulk water removal, but Waukesha could mean those exemptions are in jeopardy. Laws tend to be interpreted by precedent and precedent has now been re-set to include diversion.

What is required now is a strong statement from the Canadian government. It is time to bear the fruit of our good relationship with our American neighbours and double down on joint-protection for the Great Lakes.

Anything less will amount to a careless refusal to see the danger for what it is and an abandonment of our duty to protect the lakes for future generations.

Legion News We are back from a trip to London, Ontario and it is a nice place to visit but to HOT at this time of the year.

It is nice to see the Branch has been busy and the display at the Senior Expo was nice and showed everyone the work we are doing in the community and reminding the community of the heroes Wawa has sent into war to stop evil and bring peace into the world.

Our Ladies Auxiliary is having their Strawberry Tea on July 7th and I am sure everybody is looking forward to this yummy event.

The Branch will be involved in the 3 Day Wawa Music Festival on July 8th, 9th & 10th and that looks like a real blast with bands moving from 1 venue to the next and MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC. I see our Cribbage players have still been competing for every point.

So enjoy the summer and be nice to any tourist visiting Wawa.

To all our Comrades sick at home, in the hospital or nusrsing homes, you are in

our thoughts and prayers and we wish you well.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

BASIC BLACK

Arthur Black

Where's Myrtle When You Need Her?

My son has a new cellphone. Aside from making and receiving calls, it takes snapshots, records videos, accommodates messaging, features a calendar, plays music, connects to FM radio, offers a browser, a homepage, a library, a voice recorder and email. It also syncs with WAP, GPRS, EDGE, 3G and MMS. Whatever the hell they are.

My son's new cellphone weighs less than a pack of cigarettes and fits in the palm of his hand but when I look at it, I don't think 'magic'. I think 'Myrtle'.

Myrtle was my connection to the first telephone my family ever had. Myrtle didn't live with us; she lived in a box on our kitchen wall. The box was our telephone. It was made of wood, about the size of a hotel room mini-fridge. To activate it you pulled the receiver off a hook and clamped it to your ear; then you cranked a handle and said into the mouthpiece: “Hello, Myrtle, give me Walnut five, three-oh-eightfive” -- or some other number.

Myrtle, sitting somewhere in a room with a switchboard the size of a dining room table, plugged in the requisite cords and made the connection for you.

We didn't know it then, but Myrtle the Operator's days were numbered. Soon both she and the box on the wall were replaced by stand-alone black telephones made of heavy Bakelite with a rotary dial and an ear-tomouth receiver heavy enough to knock out a burglar. That model lasted for years but it too was destined for the trash heap of history, supplanted by the first 'mobile' phones (circa 1980). They were clunky and awkward, about the size of a shoebox.

Fast forward to my son's

phone, a hundred times more powerful, a thousand times more versatile and tiny enough to carry around in a shirt pocket. Which he does, as does just about everyone nowadays. No excuse for being 'away from the phone' anymore.

Or away from everybody elses' phones, come to that.

That's why the cops busted Dennis Nicholl. Mister Nicholl is a Chicago financial analyst who takes a train filled with other commuters, most of them blabbering noisily into their cellphones.

One day Mister Nicholl boarded the train carrying a mysterious gizmo festooned with several antennas. Pretty soon, nobody's cellphone worked. Mister Nicholl was jamming the calls. He was arrested and charged with 'unlawful interference with a public utility'.

He hasn't been sentenced yet, but if I was the judge I think I'd give him...oh, I don't know -- a Citizen of the Year plaque perhaps, and maybe a couple of BlackHawks playoff tickets.

I'd at least like to buy him a beer.

Meanwhile, the cellphone continues to morph into new and harrowing configurations. Very soon Americans will be able to buy a brand new product: a .380 calibre, double-barrelled pistol that will fit snugly into pocket or purse.

But here's the beauty part – it looks just like a smartphone!

Now when somebody whips out their cell and points it at you, you won't know whether to smile for the camera or say your prayers. The U.S. government hasn't decided whether the cellphone/handgun will be subject to federal firearm restrictions.

I miss Myrtle.

Adult (rt) & Juvenile Crow

Notes From The Bird Lady Article & photos by Tammie Hache Manitouwadge, ON bthache@yahoo.ca Not much going on in my backyard for bird watching these days. I have a few visitors to my little bit of handouts every day: half a dozen Purple Finches (they have such a beautiful song!), a few Goldfinches, 2 or 3 Evening Grosbeaks. I had a whole family of 6 Black Capped Chickadees show up this week: 2 adults & 4 youngsters. The adults look so worn out & beat up but those babies look fresh as can be.

So cute!

Yesterday, I also spotted a whole family of Crows: 2 adults with 3 juveniles. The juveniles still have dark blue eyes and their breast is still somewhat fluffy compared to the sleekness of the adults.

And of course, they still have

Male Purple Finch Singing

a bit of the 'baby bird lips' (the yellow lip lining baby birds get so adults feeding them can see them quickly in a nest with their beaks wide open).

I was so disappointed in myself this year because I thought I had cleaned out the bird house from last season to be ready for this year but .... you guessed it ... I didn't, so the Tree Swallows didn't nest in my yard this season for the first time in over 10 years.

What I find a little confusing is why they suddenly started fighting over the birdhouse this week. Young Swallows in the neighbourhood are just getting ready to fledge (leave the nest for the first time) and I've never known Swallows to have a second clutch in a season. Not sure what this activity is about.

I was very pleased this week to discover that a male Eastern Bluebird is still hang-

Wednesday, July 6th, 2016

ing around. I haven't seen a female at all so I have no idea if he successfully nested here this year or not.

Hummingbirds are visiting my feeders regularly throughout the day. They definitely have a favourite out of my 3 feeders .... only 1 gets nearly emptied every few days. I'm seeing males & females now so it won't be long before juveniles are coming around too.

I was surprised to hear yesterday that a friend of mine on the other side of town still has a male Yellow-Headed Blackbird visiting her yard every couple of days. I haven't seen one since spring. I won't be the least bit surprised if they are another species that will be nesting in this area soon, as they expand their range eastward.

Sightings this week include: Crows, Ravens, Grackles, Starlings, Dark Eyed Juncos, Flickers, Black Capped Chickadees, Red Breasted Nuthatch, Evening Grosbeaks, Goldfinches, Purple Finches, White Throated Sparrows, Chipping Sparrows, Robins, Merlins (nesting 2 streets away), Killdeer (flew over my house one day!), Tree Swallows, Cliff Swallows, Hummingbirds & the Eastern Bluebird along with my friendly neighbourhood Chipmunk.

Until next time .....

Emily's Terrifying Ordeal

The McNeill family – Emily, Robert, and their two children Ian and Sarah, received some terrible news from down home in Nova Scotia on a Tuesday evening in June of 2015. Emily's favourite aunt, Grace, had a stroke and was not expected to live. Her mother asked if there was any chance she could come down right away. Without a moment's hesitation, she said she would get the first flight out. That set in motion a series of events that would alter her and the family's lives forever.

When she got off the phone she told them the news. She started by saying that she realized that the others could not go. She started with Robert, acknowledging that with the huge road construction project he was supervising west of Toronto in his position with the MTO it would be impossible for him to take time off right now, especially since she didn't know how long she would be away. Then she turned to the kids and stated the obvious that they were still in school, and in fact getting ready for final exams. They both pleaded to go, but knew it was true what their mother was saying.

Once that was settled, she began making her arrangements to get down home. She called her boss.

Emily was employed with the federal government in the Dept. of Immigration & Citizenship as a refugee claims investigations officer.

She was a compassionate person who had her own feelings about all these people trying to get into Canada. She felt so bad for most of them, and not being able to do more to help them become citizens. But right now she put that aside, so she could concentrate on her own family. She got a flight booked for Wednesday afternoon to Halifax. Of course she was to stay with her parents, Roger and Maggie Warrfield, in nearby Digby Cove. They had a small dairy farm, along with a vegetable garden, chickens, and a goat. The last several years since the kids had grown up, they all would come down for a couple of weeks vacation, if you could call it that. It was a working holiday. The kids loved tending to the livestock, and helping out in the garden. Robert helped out his father-in-law in the field, cutting the hay, and any other chores or fixing up that needed to be done.

That allowed Mr. Warrfield to spend more time out at sea fishing for lobster. It all helped to eke out a living. Emily would spend her time in the kitchen with the cooking and other household chores. That helped out her mother who had a chance to get caught up on her knitting and baking that she then sold at the farmer's market every Saturday morning.

There was one case that she was working on that really was troubling her. His name was Abadan Mustkillu. He was a 25 year old from Syria who had managed to escape the clutches of ISIS and the horrible civil war there., or so he claimed. He had landed in Toronto in April, 2015 on a six-week visitor's permit. Now he was applying for a work visa, requesting a quick approval on humanitarian grounds, as his family in Syria was forced to flee their home and seek shelter in a refugee camp nearby their hometown of Ebola. He had a job lined up in Halifax with Bell Mobile at the mall as a sales clerk. He would be able to support his family once they got here, he assured her.

It was her last interview of that Friday afternoon before that call about her aunt on Tuesday.

Mustkillu got very hostile once she pointed out that he was applying under the wrong category. When she handed him the proper form, he crumpled it in his fist, threw it at her, and stormed out of her office.

He swore at her in Arabic, and just as he left, he turned to her and repeated it in English, - just so there is no mistake in what he said. She tried to get him to come back so she could explain what he needed to do to meet the requirements, but it was no use. He stormed through the door, slamming it shut behind him. Even though she had encountered these sort of situations before, this one felt different. She sensed he was a real dangerous man.

On the way to the airport on Wednesday, she got Robert to drop her at the office just long enough to give his file to her co-worker, Janinne Markurski. She explained the situation, and that he may or may not be back into the office.

Robert drove her on to Pearson airport. She was just getting settled down to await takeoff when a man came down the aisle towards her..

Emily gasped and tensed up as she saw who it was - Abadan Mustkillu!

Just as he got near her, he stopped suddenly, as he recognized her. She looked down to the floor, not wanting to make eye contact. She heard him whisper the threat as he got beside her. He said, “See you later.”

Then he moved past her. To her horror, he sat down in the seat right behind her. She began to sweat and tremble. She tried to put it out of her mind that this guy was sitting right behind her, but it was hard, as he kept kneeing her seat, reminding her that he was there. She cursed him under her breath.

He settled down, and gave her no further grief, that is, until after they were in the air, and the pilot had declared that they could unfasten their seat belts. He suddenly popped his head around to her side, and uttered in an obviously phony tone, “Well, hi there, Mrs. McNeill. Hope you are going to enjoy your time in Nova Scotia. I am heading there too. As I said last week in our meeting, I have a job lined up in Halifax. Maybe we will run into each other. Too bad you had to take time off right now, with my case just getting started. I guess you are likely going to see your family down East, am I right?” Then he popped back out of view, before she could say anything. She had a retort on the tip of her tongue, too, implying that she was going to be checking up on him at this new job he had lined up, but she didn't get a chance. He never made any other contact during the flight.

Once she had landed and gotten the okay to depart, she got up and headed down the aisle first.

Mustkillu got in line right behind her. Just as they were heading towards the luggage carousel, he called out to her, “Hope to see you again real soon. Have a nice time.”

Emily said nothing, but trembled inside at the implications of what he said. Before anything else happened, his luggage appeared, and he quickly picked it up and left.

Her luggage came shortly after, and she grabbed it, and headed to the exit, where Emily's sister, Estelle, was waiting to pick her up and take her home.

Emily quickly forgot about Mustkillu. They all got settled in, and the routine began. Nothing

out of the ordinary happened for the first couple of days. But then on Friday morning they awoke to find all their chickens laying dead on the front porch.

Then early Saturday morning, they awoke to the smell of smoke.

Emily's father was the first to smell it, and headed outside to see where it was coming from. He immediately saw that it was the barn that was ablaze. By the time they could get organized to get a water brigade set up, the barn was too far gone to save.

The next incident occurred Monday. Mr. Warrfield and Emily's brother, Jasper headed out in their fishing boat to get a load of lobster.

They only got out of the cove and into the open water when the boat began taking on water. The engine stalled too. It sank so quickly that they had to abandon it, and swim to shore. Fortunately they were not too far out, so were able to make it back safely.

Mrs. Warrfield decried the bad luck that had suddenly befallen them. Only Emily began to think that it was no accident, but maybe Mustkillu had found them, and was taking revenge on her over their meeting from the previous week.

She had hoped that he was not that sort of person, but was beginning to think otherwise. She kept this to herself though.

That is, until the market being held at the hockey arena parking lot on the following Saturday morning, when he nonchalantly wandered over to their booth, and greeted her and her mother. “What a delightful market you have here. All the vegetables, blueberry jam, and the baking! Fabulous. I would like a small basket of your peas, green beans, jam, and those beautiful knitted slippers. My wife will love them when she gets here to Canada from Syria.” She realized these purchases and sweet talk was all for her mother's account.

She managed to get him aside momentarily, long enough to ask him what he was doing here, and demanded to leave them alone. She also warned him that she knew what he had done back at the farm, and to the boat. Of course, he feigned innocence, declaring that he knew nothing about any of that.

He just happened to be passing

by Digby Cove in his rented car, and saw the sign about the fresh produce, so decided on the spur of the moment to check it out. He handed her a $20 bill, and hustled off, thereby not giving her a chance to give him his change, or pursue her questioning.

Emily thought to herself on the way home that this was turning into a horrible trip, Seeing her aunt laying in that hospital bed in such a vegetative state was so upsetting. The waiting was agonizing.

She had never had to go through this sort of thing before. Then her thoughts turned to Mustkillu.

I've got to do something before this escalates any further. He is a deranged man, she concluded. She just wasn't sure what she could do, though.

But by the time she got back home, she was drawn into the hustle and bustle of a crew of men already starting to re-build their barn. There was a crew in the house too, busy preparing supper for everyone. She relaxed for the first time since getting home. She quickly thought this was typical of a small community, where everyone chipped in when trouble happened.

She also had this fleeting thought about moving back here forever, and dumping her life in Ontario.

That thought was cut short when one of the neighbours asked her where the flour was kept. Emily showed her, and then she moved over to the kitchen counter to help cut up apples for the pies.

By the end of the day the barn raising had made great progress, as the beams were all in place, and the roof too. By the time they broke up for the day, all that was left was the framing.

On Sunday they all headed to church. After the service they lingered to chat with the other parishioners for a while. Then they headed back to the farm. Just as the old van approached their lane, they saw a small car turn out and drove quickly past them. Emily blinked twice as she caught a glimpse of the driver. It was enough though, to be pretty sure it was Mustkillu. Then she had second thoughts. “No, I just have him on the brain. I'm letting him get the better of me.”

She was wary, though, as they got to the house. She looked carefully all around the yard, and inside the house. She had wanted to warn the others, but she didn't want to alarm them, without proof. So she kept her suspicions to herself.

Everything appeared intact. It was her mother who noticed it first.

After lunch they all gathered in the living room at the piano, for their usual Sunday sing-a-long.

Emily''s mother piped up after the first song. “Where are all our family photos off the mantel and on top of the bookcase?”

Everyone admitted they were baffled. Emily bit her lip, fearing the worst. He had struck again!

She now knew for sure that she had to speak up. “I think I know where they are.” They all listened as she explained all the run-ins she had with Mustkillu. Emily's father declared that they should go to the authorities and lodge a complaint.

But Emily pointed out that there was no proof, so persuaded him and the others to just be vigilant.

The next night they were rudely reminded of this man. Again no proof, but a Molotov cocktail incendiary device was thrown threw the living room window about ten that night. By then it was dark, so no one saw who threw it in. Emilly's mother was knitting in her highback chair. Her father was reading the sports section of the local paper in his Lazy Boy. She was curled up on the couch, reading the paper. Emily screamed and dropped the paper on the floor as the device landed at her feet.

Her father jumped into action, and grabbed it, and threw it outside.

By the time he returned Emily had already smothered the flames, but was coughing at the smoke. While still kneeling on the floor, patting the area rug that had caught on fire she noticed the small manila tag under the couch. She picked it up and read the brief terrifying note.

It read: 'Is Nobody Safe Anymore?'

She reluctantly showed it to her father. He told her in no uncertain terms that they were going to the authorities first thing in the morning. She agreed. As expected, they were unable to do anything, but file the complaint in case something else happened that they could catch him in the act.

The next day they received word that her Aunt Grace had passed away during the night. So funeral preparations were made. The funeral was held back in Digby Cove at the church on a Thursday afternoon, followed by the wake.

For one fleeting moment during the service Emily was looking around, and thought she spotted Muskillu standing at the back off the church. But it was a fleeting moment, so she wasn't sure. But that evening when it was all over, Emily and her parents were reading the sympathy cards and the book of condolences. Her mother called out that there was a sealed card addressed to her. As soon as she opened it up, she dropped it on the ground like it was a hot potato. It was from him. Then her mother

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

commented on a strange signature in the book. It read sorry for your loss, Emily. Obviously a bomb symbol. She looked at the entry and gasped in horror. He had been there at the funeral! Is there no end to his harassment, she thought.

She began to cry, overwhelmed at everything. But as mother's always do, she comforted her.

Saturday came along, and Emily reluctantly said heir goodbyes.

She had to get back to work, she lamented. She hated to leave her parents to face whatever this guy might try to do next. Emily's sister pointed out that it was her that he had the grudge against, and once she had gone, he would have no reason to bother them. Emily had to admit that made sense. Again Emily's sister took her to the airport.

She arrived back home about ten Saturday night. Robert and the kids picked her up. They had no sooner got in when the phone rang. It was Estelle, Emily's sister. She was frantic. “Oh, Emily, it's awful. Mom and Dad are both in the hospital with second degree burns to their faces and arms, as well as smoke inhalation from being trapped in the house while it was burning.

Luckily they were able to finally find their way out. They will be okay, but the house is gutted. It will have to be torn down and rebuilt, just like the barn. The fire investigators believe it was a gas leak from the propane tank that ignited when Mom went to turn on the burner on the stove to get the potatoes cooked for supper. Dad was washing up at the sink. But it was no accident. You will be glad to hear that we caught your Mr. Mustkillu.

He was still lurking around the yard when Arnold and I arrived. Mom and Dad had invited us over since they knew we wouldn't have time to cook up a meal, after dropping you at the airport. They found a hack saw and wrench in his rented car.

So we finally have concrete proof to nail him. You will be glad to hear that, I'm sure.”

Emily gasped, and excitedly said, “Really. That's wonderful news.

He has tormented us long enough.

I hope they lock him up for life, or send him packing back to Syria. I know that's not very professional, but he deserves it. I am also glad to hear Mom and Dad are okay. Too bad about the old homestead. But hey, it's just mortar and bricks. It can be rebuilt, as you say. This time maybe they will get in some of the modern conveniences too. Okay, keep me posted. Give Mom and Dad our best wishes. Good night.”

She relayed the news to Robert and the kids.

They were startled when the door bell rang. “Who could that be at this hour?” Robert asked out loud. He opened up the door to find his neighbour with a box on the ground beside him. “ There is one heavy box here that was accidentally left at my place today.” Robert picked up the box and brought it inside.

It was addressed to Emily. It was postmarked from Digby Cove.

She wondered who was sending her something from there. She got the shock of her life when she opened it up, and found all their family framed photos that had disappeared from their parents' house earlier. She was stunned. I guess he has a little bit of good in him after all, she thought to herself. That only lasted a moment, though, as she suddenly realized he had purposely taken them out then as he was planning to blow up the house and everyone in it later. Her feeling of goodwill at his thoughtfulness was short lived. And as events later showed, she was right to dismiss that feeling.......

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.

Ontario First In Canada To Introduce Mandatory Entry-Level Training For Class A Truck Drivers Ladies Golf Province Committed To Keeping Roads Safe

Ministry of Transportation To keep the province's roads among the safest in North America, Ontario is introducing mandatory entry-level training for new commercial Class A truck drivers.

Individuals seeking a Class A licence in Ontario on or after July 1, 2017 will need to successfully complete mandatory entry-level training before attempting the Class A road test.

Individuals who already have a Class A licence before this date will not be required to take training.

The mandatory entrylevel course will take approximately four to six weeks to complete and course fees will be set by individual training providers. Schools approved by the province have a year to develop a curriculum using a consistent provincial training standard. The new Commercial Truck Driver Training Standard (Class A) will be available early July, 2016.

These changes will improve road safety and address the trucking industry's need for qualified and well trained commercial Class A truck drivers while eliminating inadequate training through unregistered truck schools.

Investing in mandatory entry-level training is part of the government's economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs.

The four-part plan includes helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education. The plan is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, roads, bridges and transit in Ontario's history and is investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, exportoriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.

Quick Facts • Mandatory entry-level training will be delivered by Private Career Colleges , Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology and recognized authorities under the Ministry of Transportation’s Driver Certification Program.

• A Class A licence is needed to drive a commercial motor vehicle towing a trailer that exceeds 4,600 kg.

• Mandatory entry-level training course completion will be recorded by

•

approved training providers on a provincial web-based system and verified by Drive Test Centres prior to allowing an applicant to attempt a Class A road test.

In 2014, there were approximately 291,155

large trucks in Ontario and 191,291 Class A drivers, representing 1.83 per cent of the entire driving population.

Quotes “The safety of all users of Ontario's roads and highways is our top priority.

The introduction of mandatory training in addition to knowledge and road tests is designed to ensure that commercial truck drivers are properly trained before they are tested.”
