Kids Play Safe Awareness Day

Lucille Vachon-Case and Chris Simon

Tim Hortons Host Camp Day

Article & photo by Barb Fisher For the past 25 years Tim Horton's Camp Day is held Canada wide every June 1st and despite a dull rainy day last Wednesday, our Timmy's was rockin'! On Camp Day, every penny from coffee sales during the 24-hour period, as well as money raised through Camp Day bracelet sales, donations, and special events and activities is donated to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation.

This event helps raise money to send low-income youth at no cost to them or their families on a camp experience that will give them confidence in their abilities and pride in their accomplishments, teaching life-changing skills giving them a positive view of the world and their place in it. Since the end of 2015, more that 215,000 children have benefitted from a Foundation Camp experience, and this year, more than 19,000 low-income children will attend one of the seven Camps located across many of Canada's provinces.

This is the first year that owners Mark and Tracey Toffner have been on board for the celebration in Wawa and they can chalk the day up to an overwhelming success. With 100% of coffee sales, bracelet sales and cash donations, $5,600 will be presented to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation toward their Camp Day fundraising blitz. Representatives from local organizations and community members donated their time as helpers behind the counter and before the 24 hours were up, some gave great promise as future Tim Horton recruits!

Much thanks is extended to MNR and OPP officials, Councillors Ivan Besner and Tamara Liddle, Chris Simon, Ecole Secondaire St-Joseph Principal Lucille Vachon-Case, former Tim Horton team members Michelle Roy, Sarah Gauthier and Pam Sabourin, Fire Chief Kevin Sabourin, and Tim Reese who has been serving coffee at Camp Day for the past 15 years. Tim now lives in the Soo, and despite a mobility issue, turned down the chance to serve in the Soo to travel to his beloved home town to continue his legacy. Hats off to all the servers and customers who can't go without their "Timmy's Fix" and for supporting such a wonderful cause.

In summing up my article, I was drawn to the current Tim Horton media hook in their advertisement for Camp Day: I don't have potential.

I will never think That I matter.

I know I'm powerless.

I don't believe Respect and kindness are worth it.

I know I couldn't avoid disappointment Until I turned my life around.

Now read from the bottom up: Until I turned my life around I couldn't avoid disappointment.

I know respect and kindness are worth it.

I don't believe I'm powerless.

I know that I matter.

I will never think I don't have potential.

Well spoken! Words to live by in every stage of life's journey.

Article & photos by Barb Fisher Superior Children's Centre hosted the annual Safety Awareness Day last weekend and despite a little spring shower, it didn't dampen the spirit of those attending, and there was lots to see. Inside the Community Centre, booths were set up with kid friendly exhibits covering everything safety in our lives: Superior Children's Centre - safety seats for infants and toddlers, water safety and accident prevention around pools and boating activities, helmet wear for sports, ATV/bike riding, children's activity books on safety issues.

Michipicoten First Nation promoted prevention of head injuries. Of special interest was a jelly-like mold of the human brain which when touched, felt like a facimile of the human brain. It demonstrated just how delicate an organ is located just under our skulls.

Wawa and Area Victim Services offered information on internet safety, a very integral part of life in all youngsters of today.

Algoma Public Health offered computer generated graphic photos of just what the sun can do to damage one's skin. Sun screen is a must in today's fight against preserving our skin health.

MNR - offered Wildland Fire Management Strategies and how we can reduce the risk, very much up front and centre in our lives today - with the devastation of wildfires in our northern forested home.

Brookfield - I took much interest in their display as the very knowledgeable attendant walked me through each of the 7 generating facilities and 5

stop log dams in our immediate neighbourhood. The message was to drive home how dangerous these facilities can be if not treated as such when we explore the activities that we all enjoy such as hiking, fishing, camping, berry picking, 4-wheeling, hunting and water sports.

Suddenly I heard the fire truck siren outside and hurried to join a great crowd ready to watch our Volunteer Firefighters demonstrate vehicle wreck extrication techniques. I chatted with Craig Spooner, a Captain with the Firefighters who brought me up to speed in what was going to be demonstrated. It was an interesting lesson as the firefighters piece-by-piece dismantled a car in front of our

eyes, a process necessary in freeing a person who may be trapped inside a vehicle wreck.

The exhibit emphasized that quick, methodical and thorough reaction is necessary in saving lives.

I didn't want to leave without my burger fix and there were burgers, hotdogs and drinks supplied for everyone. I had one last stop, to the arena where Algoma Power Inc's Lynne Pyette, Health, Safety & Environment Advisor had teamed up again with OPP officials Levi Brousseau, Community Safety Officer and Constable Daniel Cormier who were putting the kids through their paces in bike safety. This segment is always a favourite with the kiddies where they get to showcase their safe bike handling moves, and after completing the program enter their coupon for the chance to win 1 of 2 bikes donated by Algoma Power Inc, a helmet and lock donated by Canadian Tire and an Ice Cream treat courtesy of Young's General Store.

This event seems to grow larger and better each year thanks to the many organizations, businesses and interested residents. Thanks goes out to everyone who had a hand in another successful event in our community.

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

Cat Treasures I was watching cats the other day from my reclining chair in front of the TV, a place you’ve probably noticed I spend considerable time in. Ostensibly, I’m watching dumb summer shows and a multiplicity of repeat showings of things I found kind of stupid, for the most part, the first time around.

I suppose you’d have to say, in my support, that I do not weld my eyes to the screen to the exclusion of all other things around me. I often drift along among other thoughts and even get caught occasionally resting my eyes by closing them for short periods of time.

Otherwise, I spend some time looking about, perhaps planning various household chores or projects that seldom reach completion. And, as announced earlier, I watch cats.

Debra has a habit of tossing oddments of packaging, little boxes, the plastic opening strip from a container or other bits of debris that might interest our feline friends out on the rug in front of us in the empty space in front of the TV where the cats are most likely to be. Sometimes they pick up on these interesting bits and spend some time tossing them about or crawling into or over them as the case may be.

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

The steering committee membership is made up of community stakeholders who have committed to oversee the successful implementation, within their own organisation, of recommendations put forward by the Health Needs Assessment Survey. We have a year to implement improvements to our local health care.

Progress is being made, particularly in the area of “awareness of programs and services.” Across all demographics, and in all 5 communities, the survey identified that people are not sure who does what and where to go for services.

This issue is currently being addressed in several ways. In Wawa, The Seniors Solution Council is working with Wawa Economic Development and the Canadian Red Cross on a Seniors Expo set for Seniors Month in June. The outlying areas such as White River and Dubreuilville will also be hosting their own activities show-

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

casing programs and services in their areas.

An inventory of services was developed to assist care providers and community members with information on local services. Promoting the use of the 211 Help line is essential to people of any age to access information on all services from health to financial assistance, locally and provincially.

The 211 line has constantly updated data at their finger tips 24 hours a day and is a bilingual service. No one should fall between the cracks with this service available.

Transportation was another issue identified in the survey as lacking in hours of service, awareness of existing services and affordability. The township is working with the committee to tweak its transit bus hours. In White River, those who have to travel to Wawa for medical appointments are just 3 km under to qualify for the northern travel grant. The mayors groups in northern Ontario are currently addressing this issue.

Frail, elderly patients who need support upon return from hospital was another issue identified in the survey. The LDHC and the Canadian Red Cross have addressed this issue

by incorporating the PATH program in Wawa. Priority Assistance to Transition Home can reduce re-admissions by providing; transportation home, picking up prescriptions, settling in at home, providing a snack or meal and some light housekeeping.

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

Meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month at 9:30 a.m. at the LDHC in the downstairs boardroom. At these meetings reports from each stakeholder’s issues are received and progress is assessed using a common tool to identify viability and progression into implementation (or at this point, detriments to achieving success are identified.)

There are several issues identified for Wawa and area which can be found in the results of the North Algoma Health Needs Assessment on the municipal website, the LDHC website and at the local library.

Other times they look at the proffered item with apparent distain. But in the wee hours of the night one of the cats may rediscover the treasures earlier ignored and begin to noisily bounce it about the room rousing Debra from a sound sleep. Who knew a paper roll core from paper towels, or whatever, could make so much noise when whacked about the room at 3 a.m.

Speaking of cat toys … it’s not that we don’t have any proper toys for them; therefore they have to make do with box lids or elastic bands.

They have a whole shopping bag of proper toys. We pick up the welter of fuzzy mice, little balls and new shoe laces they got for Christmas periodically just to see what an uncluttered floor might look like.

But we leave the bag in an available position and eventually one of the cats will upset the bag and drag everything out on the floor in a flurry of rediscovery. I have to admit, it was kind of cute to note “Summer” laying dead centre in a recent bag dumping, looking all about herself seemingly admiring her treasure-trove of all the cat toys the two of them owned.

I cold just about hear her muttering to herself, “They’re mine! All mine!”

More Information From NWMO In Manitouwadge Article & photo by Lynn Cregheur On May 12th, Nuclear Waste Management Organization had an Open House in the community of Manitouwadge as well as the surrounding area.

The group had the chance of giving more information to the public, such as, what are the plans for the summer. They will be returning to Manitouwadge on July 15th and 16th, in conjunction with the Manitouwadge Annual ATV Jamboree. They will be arriving with their

Transportation Unit in order to meet more of the community residents and answer more questions for them. The NWMO will be continuing with geological studies over the coming months not only in the Manitouwadge area but also the other eight areas still involved in this lengthy process. It is expected to be many years before any decisions regarding a potential host site are reached.

NWMO now has a new website at www.nwmo.ca which makes it easier for people to access information.

Lions Purina Dog Walk

Article & photo by Barb Fisher This is the second year for the Wawa Lions Club to join the more than 200 "Walk for Dog Guides" taking place across the country this spring.

Thanks to Nestle Purina PetCare, 100% of funds raised goes directly to providing specially trained Dog Guides to Canadians with physical and medical disabilities. The funds go directly to Dog Guide programs, offsetting the cost of breeding, training and placement allowing the organization to provide the dogs at no cost.

To date, more than 2,300 Dog Guides have been placed with people across Canada. The cost of raising, training and matching a Dog Guide with a qualifying Canadian is approximately $25,000, but none of that cost is passed on to the applicant and the organization receives no government funding.

The Dog Guides are trained in several different programs bringing safety, independence,

and increased mobility to people in several categories: vision impairment, hearing impairment, autism behaviour management, physical disability assistance, seizure response, and diabetic hypoglycemic awareness. Here in Wawa there were 8 dogs participating in this year's walk, despite having to grab their leashes and yank their handlers off the couch to face the cool, damp spring air.

I chatted with each dog in the walk. Even though they are not professionally trained as guide dogs, each participant had an opinion, if they had been given the chance, to muse on their best fit: - Sampson, the collie believed that he could help out a blind or visually impaired person, as he has 20/20+ vision himself, reducing the 5 second rule of food falling on the floor to 0 seconds.

- Buddy, the pomeranian could definitely qualify to help out a deaf or hard of hearing person.

Wednesday, June 8th, 2016

Once Buddy hears something, passing it on to his handler would be a no brainer, but admits to over-compensating and would eventually require reigning in.

- Koda, the black lab has been working all of his life with autism in his family. He is a loving and patient companion, but did lament....I'd like to switch now.

- Holly, the Irish Setter has spent her life with her handler Melanie who is diagnosed with a seizure disorder, and Holly does a wonderful job in keeping Melanie's life normal....for a human.

- Rascal, the Sheltie is a bit of a socialite and although he missed out on formal training, he could easily have been the "party planner". He had great ideas on just how he could show people with disabilities a great time.

- Eddie Fisher, my springer Spaniel was pondering some attribute that he could share, and with some thought, "I could be the party night magician - I can make food disappear".

Although I have put a comedic slant on my story, it is an expensive undertaking to raise, endure intense training and to carefully match dogs to get the right fit. Our canine friends possess unique intelligence and intuition, an area that humans will never be able to match.

Thank goodness for our four legged heroes!

Nancy Donald, President and Brenda Ouellette, Secretary/ Treasurer of our Wawa Lions Club updated me on the total dollars raised - approximately $1,000 of which 100% goes to the Purina Dog Guide training program, and prize winners of a bag of Purina dog food each for donations pledged: 1st Cindy Szekely with Buddy, 2nd - the Clarke family with Teega, and 3rd - Gerry Morin with Larry. Much thanks to everyone who contributed to this T:10” worthy cause.

Notes From The Bird Lady Article & photos by Tammie Hache Manitouwadge, ON bthache@yahoo.ca I will say right off the bat that I am extremely glad for all the rain we've been getting.

It was so crispy-crunchy-dry up here for almost all of May that it was quickly approaching a desperate scenario. I've always loved the rain anyway so I don't even really mind that it's getting excessive now. My lawn is in wonderful shape as are the blossoming trees, etc.

All of this makes the birds very happy too.

Most (but not all) bird species don't get wet down to the skin. Their feathers are waterproof. Birds have a 'preen gland' at the base of their tails. This gland releases a waxy, water resistant oil that birds spread over each individual feather during preening (cleaning & repositioning of the feathers). They can lock their feathers together so this action, in combination with the preening oil, makes their feathers virtually waterproof. They may look wet in a rainstorm but the water does not penetrate down to the skin.

I'm happy to report that Hummingbirds have FINALLY shown up at my feeders! I finally saw my first one on May 30th, nearly 2 weeks later than usual. Every spring, I ask people to tell me when they have their first Hummer sighting of the year and this year, it was my mother-in-law in Hillsport (where our camp is) with the first report on May 29th. A friend of mine saw one at her camp on May 27th.

Regardless, sightings have been VERY late this year. Now, I have at least 3 coming around: 2 males & 1 female. They are busy squabbling and fighting over the flowers, feeders & territories.

The yard is quieting down now for daily activity. Most visits are sporadic from Blue Jays, Evening Grosbeaks, etc. as it is now prime nesting time. Tree Swallows are actively building their nests as are many sparrow, warbler & songbird types.

Many others are actively sitting on eggs now. I went for a short walk with a friend of mine last week to see a Mallard's nest and how it was tucked away and hidden so well. Hidden so well, in fact, that I didn't even see it until I almost stepped on it. She has *9* eggs in that nest!

I wish her well.

The busiest birds in my yard now are Pine Siskins. They aren't here constantly, showing up more off & on throughout the day but sometimes, there up upwards of 150 of them at a time! They are summer's version of the Common Redpoll.

Tiny little heavily striped birds with yellow bars on their wings and squeaky little 'zzzzziiiippppp' voices. They are in constant motion and are wonderful to see.

Turkey Vulture

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

We had a great sighting last week on our way to the Dorion Bird Fest. We stopped to look around Rossport a little, out of curiosity. On our way out, we spotted a huge bird on top of a power pole: a Turkey Vulture!

They are actually quite handsome ... until you get to the neck ... this is truly a bird with a face that only a mother could love. ;) No feathers, only red, wrinkly skin and huge nostril holes, yikes! 10 years ago, these birds were extremely rare to see up here. Now, they are verging on downright common, expanding their range.

I was happy to receive an email from a Wawa resident this week. She told me about a Northern Mockingbird they had been seeing. The bird was in their yard nibbling on suet and how it was the first Mocker sighting they've had in 40+ years of bird feeding.

I think the Mockingbird is another species slowly expanding its range northward. 2 or 3 have been seen here in Manitouwadge too (not by me) in the past 5 years or so.

Thanks so much for the report!

Until next week, thanks so much for reading.

Legion News

We are getting closer to the Legion Golf Tournament and it looks like everything at the Branch is ready for Saturday, June 18th and we have to thank those sponsors who have already come forward with their support. I am sure there will be enough volunteers as this is always a special day.

Talking about volunteers, I stopped by the Branch last Friday and our TGIF dinner was just about to take off. I have heard that the meal was really good and we even had a special bartender, Kristie who did her first volunteering.

Good for you girl. Enclosed is a picture with the whole group.

Next Thursday, June 9th we have our last meeting before summer recess and we hope to see many members there before you are going to camp and I think there is going to be rain!

Here are the winners of last Saturday's cribbage, 1st Carol and Joan, 2nd Guy and Chris, 3rd Sandra and Alma and boobs were Erin and Irene and 24 hand Donna.

A golfer had a bad day and called it quits. While walking to the clubhouse, he was met by a policeman who asked him,"Did you slice your shot on hole 16?"

So the golfer replied, "Yes, but why do you want to know?"

So the Policeman said, "Your ball went through the trees, hit a car on the highway and the driver lost control and hit 4 more vehicles including a fire truck. So the fire truck was late to put out a blaze and a whole house burnt down to the ground! So what are you going to do about this?"

So the golfer thought for a minute and answers, "I think I am going to step closer to the ball and change my stance a little closer!!!"

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.

Province Passes Act to Support Ontario's Trails New Legislation Takes Action to Protect and Enhance Trails System June 1, 2016 - Today, Ontario passed legislation that will sustain and improve the province's trails system, helping to build a healthier and more prosperous Ontario.

The Supporting Ontario's Trails Act, 2016 will strengthen Ontario's extensive trails system. It will protect and enhance thousands of kilometres of the province's urban, suburban, rural and remote land and water trails while also encouraging its expansion by: • Providing the trails community with enhanced tools to effectively develop, operate and promote trails • Removing barriers to help connect and expand trails across the province • Increasing trail awareness and promoting local tourism by enabling the recognition of Ontario trails of distinction, supporting communities and jobs across Ontario • Enabling the development of a classification system to help users find trails that match their interest and ability.

The new legislation also makes amendments to existing legislation to address liability, trespassing and protection of property issues.

Protecting and improving

Ontario trails 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 investing in talent and skills, including 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 investment in public infrastructure in Ontario's history

June 15th, 2016

and investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.

QUICK FACTS • Ontario has the secondlargest trails network in Canada, with about 2,500 trails spanning over 80,000 kilometres that support recreation, tourism and active transportation.

BASIC BLACK

Arthur Black

For A Human, Press Zero “Your call is important to us.” That is the biggest lie since Richard Nixon's “I am not a crook”. Bigger than Bill Clinton's “I did not have sex with that woman”. (I'm excluding anything said by Donald Trump.

He is in a liar category occupied solely by himself.)

“Your call is important to us” is a lullaby that is cooed by thousands of anonymous phonebots millions of times a day. It's what we hear when we call up banks, airlines, rental agencies or government offices.

It means precisely the opposite of what it claims. Our calls are not important to them. If our calls mattered they would have a human being answering the phone instead of a recording.

But that's what I heard when I called up my phone company: “Your call is important to us”. Then the voice (So warm!

So...chatty!) said: “For service in English, press One.” From there I entered a wonderland of choices offered by the mellifluous voice on the phone. Was I inquiring about a Business Account? Press One. My balance? Press Two. Repairs? Press Three.

All I wanted was to talk to some damn human but there is no button for that. At least not until I enter my “eight-digit phone number” followed by my “four or six-digit personal pin”.

I have about two dozen 'personal pins' each created on the spot for whatever service I was trying to access at the time. I have no idea which one applies to my phone company.

“The estimated wait time for the next operator is....five to seven minutes,” the phonebot chirrups. “If you'd like us to call back, enter your eight digit phone number and press one.”

No, I've slogged on this far.

Besides my index finger is numb

from pressing One. I'll hang on.

Five minutes go by. Seven minutes. Suddenly my phone chirps: “You're awesome for waiting!”

Oh please. I am already in a foul mood. I do not need to hear a robot telling me that I'm awesome. Bad language commences. Just when I'm at the point of exhausting my expletives something clicks in my ear and a voice comes on the line. A strongly accented voice. “Hello, my name is Carla. Can I help you?”

“Are you a human?” I ask, suspicious.

The voice laughs. Laughs!

“How can I help you?”

Carla is a lifeboat for a man drowning in heavy seas. She lets me vent. She apologizes for my inconvenience. She empathizes for my misery. She assures me we can solve my phone problem. She will send me a new phone. It will take five to seven business days to arrive. She will – get this – phone me after seven business days to walk me through the installation process. I want to marry her.

Carla is so good, so helpful and so genuinely human that I ask if I can speak to her boss.

Another heavily accented voice comes on the line – this one male. I tell him Carla is a credit to the company, a beacon of civility and he should give her a raise. He is delighted to hear it. I ask him where the office is – I'd like to put my compliments in writing. Are you in Vancouver, I ask. Then it occurs to me – dummy – it's probably an American corporation. “I guess you're in the States, eh?”

There is a pause at the other end. “Uh, no.” the voice says.

“We're in Indonesia.”

Only in the Third World you say. Pity.

Chadwic Home Hosts PaintNite

Mission Motors Hosts Buick Drive For Your Students

Article by Barb Fisher. Photos supplied.

This is the second Paint Nite that Chadwic Home has hosted combining another fun raiser with their fundraiser. The Community Centre hall was jammed to the rafters with rows and rows of easils, canvases, palettes and over 100 eager wanna-be budding Picasso's. For $45 each painter was supplied with all the necessary material, equipment, professional mentoring suggestions and encouragment, neighbourly advice, and inspiring music. The only cost was at the bar, to keep the artistic "juices" flowing, so to speak.

Janelle Tang, Creative Entrepreneur and Stephanie Bingham, artist/instructor from the Soo led the group in established painting techniques, and were more than willing to encourage individual self-expression. A sample painting was on display whereby the artists, using only the primary colours of red, blue, yellow, and also white on their palette, mixed the hues following their own muse and filled their canvas with what their individual senses perceived. When the evening wound up, painters posed for a photo-op using comical props furnished

Manitouwadge Conducts Town-wide Spring Cleanup Article & photo by Tammie Hache The week of May 30th to June 3rd was a soggy but busy week for the Manitouwadge Public Works Department.

The annual town-wide spring cleanup was held, with township crews going around town picking up yard waste from each street. Each house was permitted to leave exterior waste from beautifying their property at the end of their driveway and the township would pick it up & haul it away.

Dump rates were also waived for the week.

This much loved program was canceled for a year or two because some residents were badly abusing it by putting out anything and everything for pickup. This taxed the work-

ers to the point that a week was not long enough to do the whole townsite and workers were exhausted! This program is strictly for spring cleanup and beautifying your property: raking, branches, old bbq's, old planters, etc. .... not to be used as a way of saving yourself trips to the dump. Many residents were very happy to hear the program was being reinstated this year as it does make a huge difference in how neat & tidy the town looks in the spring.

Also note: there are now dumpsters placed throughout town. These are solely for kitchen waste, not to be filled with anything else. They are meant to help keep bears away from homes throughout the summer. Please do not abuse this system!

showcase their masterpieces.

Ah, the beauty of creation!

Paula Valois, Executor Director of Chadwic Home together with her helpers were overjoyed with the response to the event. With $15 of each registration going to help Chadwic Home programs, over $l,000 was raised, with an additional $100 generated from the homemade food goodies offered. Stay tuned for the next "Paint Nite"; with the overwhelming response, tickets will go quickly. Thanks to everyone who contributed to another fun night in Wawa.

Article & photo by Barb Fisher Ecole Saint-Joseph and Mission Motors collaborated on a test drive event fundraiser last weekend whereby every test drive taken generated a donation of $20 by GM Canada to the school to be used on various upgrades in their facility. I filled out the necessary forms and was asked what type of vehicle I would like to test drive. I replied "something that is not teenage friendly"! The Buick Verano was perfect for me. It is a small luxury sedan, economical, affordably priced, the epitamy of comfort....and oh that wonderful "new car" smell!

Val Morris, General Manager of Mission Motors took me under her wing and explained the features of some of the other vehicles on display and ready for test driving: - GMC Terrain - sporty utility vehicle with family seating up

to 7 passengers - GMC Acadia - SUV, 3 rows seating, up to 7 passenger with excellent fuel economy - GMC Sierra truck - most popular truck on the market with many options to suit everyone's needs There were events to keep the kiddies engaged: face painting, lego centre, draw prize table, barbequed hot dogs, drinks, snacks and a chance to win a beautiful wooden chair built by woodworking teacher extraordinaire James Stewart.

When the results were in unofficially it is suspected that 50% of target was generated from the successful test drive day and Val summed up the celebration as a great success. Mission Motors' representatives were proud to support another community event and happy to work with Lucille Vachon-Case and her staff at Ecole Saint-Joseph in their fundraising efforts.

With Jim White

Mystery Of The Abandoned Car On this Tuesday evening in early June, a local hiker, Carter Carr, drove down to the parking lot at High Falls to start his usual hike along the Voyageur Trail up the Magpie River portion. His vehicle was the only one there, except for an obviously brand-new black BMW. He glanced at it. He noticed that the license plate was from Alberta, but he never gave it another thought. He went for his walk. It was still parked there when he got back.

He came back Wednesday evening after supper for another walk. Again, he was the only one there – except for that BMW. He thought that it seemed odd that it was still there. Oh, yes, there was a dark brown half ton truck that had sped away as he pulled in to the parking lot, he remembered. He wondered what their rush was to get away in such a hurry. He never gave it another thought, though, as now his curiosity was aroused.

He went over to have a closer look at it. He looked in the driver's side window, but with the tinted glass, he couldn't see anything. He tried to open the car door. To his surprise it was unlocked. He opened it up, and was horrified to discover blood all over the driver's seat. Then he noticed the bullet holes in the passenger side window. But there was no body or bodies.

He immediately thought that somebody must have dragged whoever was originally in the car into the bush, or maybe the river?

He panicked, closed the car door, and dashed back to his car.

He sped away, kicking up dirt.

Then he thought about that truck speeding away. Maybe they were going to report this to the cops. As he headed towards the police station, he tried to process what he had just seen.

Then Carter wondered if the people in that truck were the ones who had done this to the BMW. He went to the OPP station.

Detective John Ford was the attending officer. He told him what he had just witnessed.

He asked about that truck, and was told that he was the first one to report this matter. Ford tried to get a description of the truck out of Carter, but he was too excited to tell him much.

Carter did realize that he wasn't a very good witness, because he didn't even remember what colour it was, except that it was a dark colour, and was an older model. Ford called in assistance to do a patrol of the area just in case.

Then he and Carter headed back down to the Falls parking lot. There still was no one else parked there. Ford looked the car over. He asked Carter: “I thought you said the license plates were from Alberta.

There are no plates now. This will make it a bit more difficult to find out who owns it.”

Carter defended himself: “Last night they were on. I just never

noticed today, what with what I saw tonight.”

Ford nodded, and added, “I don't understand why they just didn't take the car. Maybe they couldn't find the keys? My gut instinct that this is a drug deal gone bad.” After writing a few notes, he opened the driver's door, and popped the button to open the trunk. When they looked in, they were shocked to find a Rottweiler laying on its' side, obviously dead. Ford commented, “Sure looks like a drug dealer's guard dog.” He wrote a couple more notes. Then when he tried to put his pen back in his shirt pocket, it dropped to the ground. When he leaned down to pick it up, he noticed something underneath the car.

He lay down on the gravel, and looked closer. He cried out, “Oh, man. Here is our missing driver, I bet. Help me pull him out, Carter.” Between the two of them, they were able to drag the body of a young man out.

The detective knelt over him to check for vital signs. He was surprised to find a very weak pulse. He uttered out loud, “ He is still alive.” He got up and went to his cruiser, and called for an ambulance, and backup to secure the crime scene.

Then he went back to the man, and began CPR. Soon there was a lot of commotion as everyone arrived nearly all at the same time.

Ford got one of his officers to accompany the ambulance back to the hospital, with instructions to see if he came to, and could give some details of what went down here, and radio him back immediately.

Then he had another officer take all the photos of the area around the car.

Meanwhile, he strolled down to the river,admired the rushing falls, and over to where the trail began, looking for clues.

Carter tagged along. After a quick search, he went back to his cruiser, and requested the tracking dog sniffers to be brought in for the morning. He said to Carter: “Well, it is getting dark, so that is about all we can do tonight. I am going to post a guard here for the night, just in case somebody comes back. You can go home now. Thanks for all your help.

I know this is quite a shock for you. Don't discuss it with anybody though. Here is my card. I will be in touch with you tomorrow. Okay, go home.

And thanks again.”

Carter did as he was told. He was exhausted from the ordeal.

He went to bed just after eleven, and went into a sound sleep immediately. But he was awakened in the middle of the night when he heard the glass of a window pane in the back porch door being smashed. He jerked up in bed, listening intently for any sounds. He was wide awake then, as he heard the click of the back door being unlocked. His heart began pounding, and he began shaking as he realized

someone was breaking in. He jumped out of bed, and looked around for a weapon. All he could think of was his bedside lamp. He yanked the cord out of the socket and picked it up, pulling off the shade. He went to his bedroom door, and yelled out in a quivering voice - “Get out of here! I have a gun, and I will use it if I have to.” He poked his head out to see and hear better. The street lights cast some light in the living room, and to the hall entrance.

He was taken aback when he saw a head pop out of the door of the hall, and the glint of a gun barrel was pointed right at him. In just a quick glance, he saw it was a man with long black stringy hair, with a rough shaven face. Then the shot rang out, and he felt the bullet whiz past his right ear. He quickly slammed the bedroom door shut, and ran to the window.

He fumbled with the latch, as he struggled to open it, climb out, and get away as fast as he could. He was just starting to climb out the window when he heard the door knob rattling, and the door was flung open.

He jumped off the ledge just as another bullet went whistling by his left ear this time. He ran towards the street, and almost made it when he heard another gun shot, and this time he felt the impact of the bullet hit the back of his left shoulder. He collapsed to the ground, just at the curb, hitting his head hard enough to knock himself unconscious.

He woke up in the hospital about mid-afternoon on Thursday. He ached all over, and felt the bandages on his shoulder. He groggily called out for a nurse. She came in, followed by a uniformed officer.

He asked what happened, and could he get a drink of water.

She got him the water while the officer explained about him being shot. “Oh, yeah, I remember now. It all happened so fast.

Did they catch the intruder?”

The officer avoided the question, and just said that Det. Ford would explain all that when he got here. That would be very soon, now that he was awake, he finished. Sure enough, about fifteen minutes later, he walked into Carter's room.

He smiled at him, and said, “Well, you had quite the night, didn't you? How are you feeling?” Carter replied, “Real sore, and now I'm scared. Do you suppose somebody was trying to...” He paused while the thought sunk in. - “You know, kill me, thinking that I saw or knew something?”

Ford looked serious, and agreed that it looked that way.

He asked if Carter could give him a description. Of course, his quick view from the hallway was not much to go on, but it was a start, Ford agreed. He added that thanks to a neighbour, who heard the shots, and turned on his porch light and poked his head out the door and yelled at this guy who was on the verge of giving you a fatal shot. That yell scared him off, and he jumped into this dark coloured pickup and sped away He noted that it fit the description to a tee. So that was a good lead, he added, to cheer

Carter up.

He went on, “ The car is registered in Alberta all right to a Mr. Norman Dodge from Calgary. The young man we found under the car is his son, Calvin. He is still unconscious, but the doctor thinks that he should be coming to sometime today. I hope to talk...” He paused, as he noticed Carter gasp, and his eyes widened as his eyebrows arched up. “What is it? Does that name mean anything to you?”

He didn't know how to answer that, without giving away his secret. For now, he decided to keep quiet. In an obvious evasion, he said no.

That didn't go unnoticed by Ford however. But he let it pass for now. He saw that Carter was getting tired, so left, and began putting more of the pieces of this puzzle together.

The following day, Friday, the dogs found a man in the bush, a few hundred feet in along the trail, but off to the side. Ford realized that Carter likely had walked right by him, but because he was partially hidden by a fallen tree, he would never have been noticed.

He had obviously died of a gunshot wound. One more piece of the puzzle. DNA samples and dental records determined that he was indeed Mr. Dodge.

More pieces of the puzzle came together over the next day.

Calvin finally was able to talk, explaining that they had been kidnapped. “We were driven down there by a couple of 'thugs' to meet with someone from Wawa, who apparently wanted us dead. Why this spot though? I don't know for sure, but I remember something about when they first met it was at some waterfall. Maybe it was this one? Anyway, we waited in our BMW for the rendezvous, with 2 pistols aimed directly at our heads. It was near dusk when it occurred. As we were being forced out of the car, to meet this mystery man, one of the kidnappers fired his pistol by accident. There was a struggle, with lots of gunfire. My father dove out of the car, and scrambled towards the bush. But I am sure he must have been wounded, what with all that gunfire. But since it was getting dark, the others could not find him.

I climbed under the car to avoid being found as well.

However, due to the stress, I had one of my epileptic seizures.

I hit my head on the undercarriage and knocked myself out.

That's all I remember.”

Ford concluded that the others had left, and came back the Wednesday night to finish up the job. They likely had to wait that long, as maybe every time they had gone back, there had been visitors. Seeing they couldn't find the keys to drive it away, they took the plates off, to make it difficult to trace.

Fortunately, the father had had the foresight to grab the car keys as he got out of the car. The keys were found in his pants pocket. Carter had obviously scared them off once again that evening.

They had a lucky break on Saturday when a police officer noticed the man with the

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

long hair getting into the truck uptown. He was arrested without incident, and the accomplice too. The two pistols were found in the glove compartment. After some intense interrogation, they finally gave up the name of the kingpin of the operation. That man's name was... Buick Carr, his father.

Ford relayed what he had learned from them to Carter.

He had heard all about the bad relations between them from his father before, but he would never elaborate. It turned out that they had been partners in a construction business out west, but they had a falling out.

Carr had lost a lot of money, and vowed revenge by murdering Dodge. He headed back home to Wawa to hatch his plot. He didn't want to be seen in Calgary when this would all go down. He managed to con a couple of bike gang members that he knew, to kidnap him and bring him back to Wawa to finish him off – but they also ended up dragging the son and their pet dog, Wrangler, along in the process. They didn't realize that all three were in the house. Dodge was supposed to be alone, they were told. The dog had died the night before they got to Wawa, and after begging to keep the dog with them, the kidnappers agreed, and put him in the trunk. So it wasn't a drug dealer's dog at all. Ford had guessed that part wrong, he admitted.

It was one of the bikers who broke into Carter's house after tracking him down to his house after learning where he lived from Carr. Imagine – his own father giving him up so callously! – obviously to kill him off, just in case he knew too much, One of the last pieces of the puzzle, the capture of Buick Carr, took a little longer. He managed to elude the police.

Apparently he left his place just moments before they arrived to arrest him, according to the neighbours. It took about three weeks before they caught up with him in Montreal. He didn't have enough money get there on his own, so he broke into his son's house, and 'borrowed' his wallet, with his debit and credit cards. It was easy to find. It was on the kitchen counter where Carter had left it that Wednesday evening when he went for his hike. He even swapped cars at Carter's, leaving his in the garage, and taking Carter's in order to make it more difficult to track him down – all to no avail in the end.

Carter was devastated by all this. He finally learned all about the mystery of what the falling out was really all about.

He then realized that he really didn't know his father at all, after all these years. But he was able to reveal his secret.

Despite their fathers' falling out, Carter and Calvin had kept up their friendship on Twitter.

They never talked about the business part. They had lots of other things in common to chat about. Now that he was here in Wawa, he stayed with Carter, and that brought them even closer together as friends for a while, at least, until....

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.

BEATON. Irene Irene Alexandra Beaton died peacefully on May 30, 2016 with her family by her side. Wife of the late Robert Fulton Beaton (1986) and mother of Robert (Janice), Colleen Glanville (Gordon) and Clive. Loving grandmother of Pamela Grenier (Matt) and Robert Glanville and great grandmother of Grayson. Predeceased by her parents William and Norah Jenkins and brother William and sisters May, Nellie, Jean, Lil and Nora. Survived by her sister, Susan Gordon, and by many nieces and nephews in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England and Australia. Irene’s Irish blue eyes sparkled through the joys and sadness of life. Irene grew up in Belfast in a family of mixed religious traditions and was a person of great faith who valued kindness and friendship. Arriving in Wawa in 1953, Irene and Bob were here to welcome many other newcomers from their homelands. Later on, Irene and Bob enjoyed happy years with family and friends from Wawa and the First United Church community. She was a strong advocate for Compassion Canada and was instrumental in building support for it in Wawa. As a widow, Irene initiated a self-help support group for people grieving which ran for many years. Irene enjoyed walks with people, knitting for family and others, and was a wonderful cook and baker. We wish for Irene, our mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend that -as she wished for us: ‘May God hold you in the hollow of His hand’.

As per Irene’s wishes, cremation has occurred and a family funeral service will be held at a later date.

Memorial donations to the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation or Compassion of Canada would be greatly appreciated by the family.

THANK YOU The family of the late Roseanne Hagen would like to express our deep appreciation to all our family and friends who shared their sympathy and support during our mother's recent passing. Thank you to all who offered condolences, calls, cards, food and flowers, as well as any donations made to the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation.

Special thanks is extended to the doctors, nurses and staff in the acute care at the Lady Dunn Health Centre during our mom's stay.

Thank you to Valerie and staff at the P.M. Gilmartin Funeral Home, Reverend Peter Chalykoff and the ladies of the Hawk Junction Local Services Board for the catering at the reception.

Thank you.

Dorion's Canyon Country Birding Festival

Dorion Bird Festival - Female Tennessee Warbler Article & photos by Tammie Hache Another huge success!

May 28th & 29th was a

soggy weekend but great fun was had by all who participated in the 8th annual Dorion's Canyon Country Birding Festival in Dorion, Ontario, just east of Thunder Bay. It was a rainy, misty weekend but temperatures were in the mid teens C. so it was actually quite comfortable, as long as you were dressed for rain.

Rubber boots, hats & raincoats were the fashion for the weekend!

Tickets were sold out for the festival by the end of February this year .... the earliest ever! Over 100 people showed up, at least 1 from the States (according to licence plates, anyway), some from southern Ontario, I believe

and many from throughout our region: Marathon, Terrace Bay, etc. My husband and I were once again the only ones from Manitouwadge.

Our record count for the festival is 121 but this year, because of a few different factors, we tallied 101. Still pretty impressive, considering the weather. The rarest sighting this year was a beautiful and very cooperative White Winged Dove (apparently, there is one in Schrieber right now too!). Everyone went home with great attendance prizes. One lucky participant won a Robert Bateman print and another won a gorgeous wooden carving of a male Purple Finch done by

Dorion Bird Festival a regional artist. And as always, the food & presentations were incredible!

If you're interested in attending the festival next

year, check out their website: http://www.dorionbirdfest. ca/ and get your tickets early next year!
