Hawk Fishing Derby

Article & photos by Barb Fisher Over 36 years now parents, grandparents, friends and kids from Hawk, Wawa and beyond have suited up, picked their favourite spot on Hawk Lake and kicked off spring break week with a fantastic Saturday of fishing, socializing and swapping fish stories. This year the catches were disappointingly low in weight, but just blame it on the Wawa Derby last weekend that had scared off the big ones. However, it was quite the rush for the youngsters to realize that their catch, even though small may be a winner.

Winners in the kids' division: 1st Cruz Dupuis 1.7 lb pike, 2nd Oliver Dumont 1.1 lb pike, and 3rd Parker Desrochers .7 lb pike. In the adult division: 1st Steve Gratton 2.3 lb pike, 2nd Dave Dupuis 2.1 lb white fish, and 3rd Wayne Ruff l.6 lb white fish. Congratulations everyone.

Top winners got first pick of

the vast array of goodies lining the walls of the hall: fishing equipment, tools, drones, clothing apparel, kids toys and games offered a treasure for every age and taste. Gift certificates are always a big hit with the adults where restaurants Embassy, North of 17, Subway, and Wawa Motor Inn offered meals, Sam's Place and Jim's Barber Shop will trim your hair, Minnow Dan offered minnows, Davidson Fuels gave propane canister fills, Canadian Tire, Paul's Custom Glass, Sleep Inn, and Dawson Keenan contributed by offering gift certificates from their businesses.

The annual raffle draw is a sought after part of the derby whereby only 250 tickets are sold ahead for cash prizes of $700, $300 and $200. This is an integral money generator for the derby conveners as the proceeds enable ongoing expenses to be met in offering family events and the never ending community hall upgrades. I have been covering the Hawk Derby now for

seven years and there always unfolds some extraordinary unexplained mystery. This year the winners of the raffle draw are....without any tampering going on - 1st prize of $700 to Monty MacIntyre, 2nd prize of $300 to Monty MacIntyre, and 3rd prize of $200 to son Ryan MacIntyre, which also prompted to Ryan a rousing "Happy Birthday" tribute from the crowd. It's the luck of the draw folks.... only in Hawk!

Special thanks goes out to all the hard working volunteers that enabled the premiere event once again: Billy Valois and Mark Owen for prize distribution, Lenny Etheridge on bar, Kimberly Wright and Anne Owen on kitchen duty, and all the Hawk Junction Local Services Board members and helpers who work tirelessly from year to year to bring such a fun family event to success.

Over 250 Residents Complete Wawa Recycling Survey

The Municipality of Wawa and Economic Development Corporation of Wawa conducted a “Wawa Recycling Survey” at the beginning of February to determine local interest in expanding future recycling opportunities in Wawa. The survey was very popular and over 250 responses were received.

Over 98% of those who completed a survey, indicated they would like expanded opportunities to recycle in Wawa.

Over 200 respondents supported that new drop-off locations for recyclables such as paper and plastic be placed at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre or Public Works Garage. Cory Stainthorpe, Director of Infrastructure Services is reviewing the survey results and ways to expand recy-

is fortunate to have such an amazing group, and we give them heartfelt thanks.

And where would the fish weighing table be, without the "weigher emeritus", Louis?? Louis arrived early on both Saturday and Sunday, and worked through both days washing and weighing fish. Thank you, Louis!

At this time, we must also thank Sheila, our computer expert, who kept records of all the fish, the participants who caught them, the correct weights, lakes and times, and did her best to coerce a sometimes awkward computer to behave! Thanks also to Dave, our webmaster, who stepped up when the computer became too awkward!

And thank you to Gregoire Mazal, Wawa's 2017/2018 Rotary Exchange student from France, who was our draw master for some Early Bird prizes and most importantly, draw master for the $30,000 Registration draw.

Thanks also go to Chayse, the best fish-cleaner ever, and his partner Julia. Derby rules require that each fish is gutted, but Chayse went "above and beyond", not only gutting fish but filleting them if the participant requested.

And on the topic of "fish", we would be remiss if we did not thank all those participants

who donated their fish to the Wawa Food Bank.

In addition to the scheduled volunteers, two others stand out. Many, many thanks go to Richie and family, who stepped up to solve a music problem, and to Robert, who spent a few minutes on Sunday to clear up confusion.

Thanks go to Jody for her work at the dance, and thanks go to our contractual partners, Wawa Volunteer Firefighters, for their work in setting up and tearing down, and to Wawa SnoRiders, for trail grooming, ice huts and patrollers.

Finally, thanks to Marla and Mandy, Alex and Brian, and the staff of MMCC, who have given the Derby Board so much assistance over the past 6 months.

There is an old proverb, "many hands make light work", and the 2018 Wawa Ice Fishing Derby certainly proved that. Without so much help, we couldn't have succeeded. Thank you.

International Women's Day #PressForProgress

Article by Barb Fisher International Women's Day held each year on March 8th, offers a special tribute to women on the move. The celebration was established in 1977 by the United Nations; our day to reflect on the progress made in women's equality, to assess the challenges facing women in society, to take steps forward and to celebrate all that women have done, are doing and can do.

The Community Centre was a buzz with women socializing and partying against a backdrop of informational booths on women's issues brought to us by the Algoma Council on Domestic Violence and our Chadwic Home personnel and volunteers. Paula Valois of Chadwic Home welcomed everyone to the gathering, and beautifully set dinner tables invited us all to sit, relax, exchange a little drama while awaiting our name to be drawn in the array of free draws and give-aways. Our day this year landed on a Thursday, and this celebration at noon on a weekday thinned out some of our younger generation, but nevertheless a great time for us who look forward to any chance to party. As we chatted and laughed everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch of nutritious eats with a generous sprinkling of comfort food prepared by the Legion Ladies.

There were information booths of interest to women of every age group: - Chadwic Home offers 24 hour service for women and their children who find themselves in crises situations. While in the shelter one can receive help with safety planning, information and referrals, advocacy, accompaniment to appointments, and emotional support. For many women Chadwic Home has provided that push to change their lives and move on to a productive fulfilling life.

- Centre Victoria offered services in the French language for women survivors of violence, including accompaniment, education, prevention and awareness, referrals, representation, and counselling.

Superior East Community Futures Development Corporation offered information on small business loans, counselling, economic development projects, youth entrepreneurship programs, and always encourage women in taking the sometimes daunting task of business start-up.

- Algoma Public Health offered much information in their campaign targetting young women. All appointments are confidential and offer counselling and answer questions on one's sexual health and issues facing adolescents' journey to adulthood.

- North Algoma Literacy

Coalition offered adults a chance to renew their education, maximize learning potential, improve job skills, prepare for college, university, the workplace, or selfemployment.

- Reiki and Meditation with Tina answered women's questions on what Reiki is all about. Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation and stress reduction that also promotes healing. As the Reiki energy encourages one to let go of tension, anxiety, fear, and other negative feelings, a state of peace and wellness is achieved.

- Wawa Family Health Team offers services for fami-

lies in chronic disease management, children's health, dietitian services, social/mental health, and provides community social workers.

- Wawa and Area Victim Services offers many services for people facing stressful and tragic circumstance. Kaitlin Dube representing WAVS has been working on a special project targetting young women in our community's primary and high schools. She has many strategies to reach children and young adults in their acceptance of their body image and in understanding their sexuality in their informative years.

- Contact North offered

online learning without having to leave our community. It is a valuable service for adults wanting to take highschool, college, university courses, or upgrade workplace skills on a part-time or full-time basis at home, or at the online learning centre.

- Carol-Anne Robinson displayed a wide array of essenial oils involved in her Aroma Yoga business Young Living. Carol-Anne is well known in our community and keeps busy wearing many hats: certified Aroma Yoga Instructor, Certified Suspension Yoga Instructor, Registered Physiotherapist, and in demonstrating her ver-

satility....our horseback riding instructor. Set the bar high and go for it.

All the above presenters are on-line where much more information can be accessed.

If you feel that it is time to make a change in your life, explore the many opportunities open in your next adventure, follow your dreams, and stand up for what you believe in. It is a whole new world, and women are deserving, capable and strong. And remember: the purpose of life is to live life with PURPOSE!

Join the conversation about Hydro One’s Lake Superior Link project Hydro One has recently applied to the Ontario Energy Board to construct a new transmission line between our Lakehead Transformer Station (TS) and our Wawa TS, as shown on the map. We’re calling our proposed project the Lake Superior Link. By maximizing existing infrastructure, our proposal is the most cost-effective solution for Ontario electricity customers while minimizing the environmental footprint.

We want to hear from you!

We want to ensure our project delivers tangible benefits to local communities, and will be hosting a series of information drop-ins along the proposed route, as shown on the map. Please stop by to meet members of the project team, learn more about the Lake Superior Link and provide your feedback.

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.

Staff Picks for the Month of March are: "The Illegal" by Lawrence Hill, "Snow Falling on Cedars"

by David Guterson, and a Young Adult pick "The Fault in our Stars" by John Green.

'The Illegal' - Keita Ali is on the run. Like every boy on the mountainous island of Zantoroland, running is all Keita's ever wanted to do. In one of the poorest nations in the world, running means respect.

Running means riches-until Keita is targeted for his father's outspoken political view and discovers he must run for his family's survival.

He signs on with notorious marathon agent Anton Hamm, but when Keita fails to place among the top finishers in his first race, he escapes into Freedom State-a wealthy island nation that has elected a government bent on deporting the refugees living within its borders in the community of AfricTown. Keita can stay safe only if he keeps moving and eludes Hamm and the officials who would deport him to his own country, where he would face almost certain death. (Book jacket) Board Meetings The Wawa Public Library Board meetings are held the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Municipal Council Chambers.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Sir James Dunn Public School

Newsflash

February may have come and gone but it certainly was a very busy month for the staff and students of Sir James Dunn.

The Grade 8 Game Changers were busy organizing a few things at the school. At the beginning of January each classroom was approached to make some Valentine Cards for the many Veterans who have served our country. It was a simple way to show our gratitude for their sacrifices and achievements in serving our country. Once all the cards were complete they were mailed to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. We hope the cards brightened a Veteran's day.

The Game Changers also helped organize an afternoon of Math Olympics. Six classrooms were filled with various math games that ranged from addition games, tangram games, fraction games, geoboard games, to games of strategy such as Yahtzee. Some students also got to try out the Spheros. What is a Sphero you ask?

It is one way to integrate robotics into the classroom. Robotics can help teach students both basic and advanced mathematics. Robots can provide an interactive means of teaching kids about math in context by taking the numbers off of the page and into real life.

From the responses of many of the students they would love to have another Math Olympics Day. Many students also participated in 100th Day Celebrations, Red, White and Pink Day, a Food Drive Challenge and finally a Hat Day. February also saw students from Grades 1 to 8 participate in Public Speaking. After writing, editing and memorizing the various topic choices students presented their speeches to their classmates. Then students were chosen to participate at the school level and finally at the Annual Public Speaking Contest held at the Royal Canadian Legion. Here there were 3 divisions – Primary (Grade 1-3), Junior (Grades 4-6) and Intermediate (Grades 7-9). In the Primary Division Lillian, Chase and Riley all received Honourable Mentions.

In the Junior Division, Aiden came in second, Nola came in third and an Honourable Mention went to Alexis. At the Intermediate Division, 1st place was awarded to Kendra while 2nd was awarded to Annika and 3rd spot was captured by Alana. Congratulations to everyone! The staff of Sir James

Dunn would like to thank the Legion for continuing this valuable learning experience for the children of Wawa.

Congratulations also goes out to all the SJD students that took part in the Remembrance Day Poster and Literacy Contest. This year SJD was well represented in the prizes!

Makai took first place in the Local Junior category for his coloured poster. Makai’s poster was advanced to the next level of the competition and he received a third place in the District Level. Zoe's coloured poster was awarded first place in the Local Intermediate Division and Lucas received 2nd place for his efforts.

Zoe’s poster also received 1st place at the District Level and is currently entered in the Provincial Level.

In the Black and White poster category, Nola received 1st place in the Local Junior Division and 3rd in the District Level. Lyllie and Emma came 2nd and 3rd, respectively. In the Intermediate Level, Ellie received 1st place at Local Level, with Kendra coming in 2nd and Alana capturing 3rd place.

Poetry and Essay writing were also contests and SJD represented well here as well. For Poetry at the Junior Local Level Harlie, Marek and Kyston received 1st, 2nd and 3rd. At the Local Intermediate Poetry Level, Alana and James received 1st and in 2nd, respectively. In the Essay contest, Brooke earned a 1st place finish. While Trynity and Annika placed 2nd and 3rd. Brooke also received a 1st place finish for her essay at the District Level and her essay is currently being judged at the Provincial Level. We again Thank the Royal Canadian Legion for this opportunity. Way to go SJD, we are so proud of all your accomplishments! SJD is the place to be!

With Jim White

The 15 &17 Mysteries Here are 2 stories – one with a bad ending, and one with a good ending: First comes March 15th. This is a little talked about date in history.

It is called the Ides of March, dating back to the time of the Roman Empire when Julius Caesar was assassinated by Brutus and other Senators in Rome.

In 2006, this was used as a warning towards John O'Connor, Manager of the only bank in the town, RBC, of Patrickville. On Tuesday, March 14th, he received an anonymous note in his mail at the bank. The postmark on the envelope indicated that it was mailed locally on March 10th, and of course no return address. It was marked Personal & Confidential.

When he opened it, inside was a card with an art print on the front

by Da Vinci of Julius Caesar being stabbed in the back. He didn't grasp its' significance. He caught his breath, though, as he read the ominous message inside: 'March 15th : Mr. O'Connor – BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH'. That was it. It wasn't signed, but was obviously printed by hand with a red ink pen. He stared at it for a moment, then turned it over, as if looking for an explanation of what this all meant. But there was nothing else. Then he recalled the incident from Friday, March 10th.

About ten in the morning there was a knock on the door, and one of the tellers popped her head in, asking him to come out and meet with an irate customer. He put the card down on his desk, and went out to the lobby.

“What seems to be the trouble, Miss Green?” She replied, “ Mr. Springer here claims that we have not approved his truck loan, just because he has been delinquent on making a couple of his mortgage payments. I told him that this was a red flag, and so it was refused at head office, not here.

He received the letter from them with the notification a couple of days ago. He wants to speak to you about it.” Before he could say anything, Springer burst in past her. “Hi, Mr. Springer, would you please have a seat, and let me review your case to see what I can do.” He closed the door.

“May I see that letter, please, Mr. Springer?” He threw it across the desk to him, while yelling at him that he wasn't going to take no for an answer, and wanted the money ready for Wednesday, March 15th, as he needed it to finance his new truck. That should give him enough time to make the arrangements, Springer stated.

If he didn't get his money that day, there would be dire consequences for the bank, and him as manager, he warned O'Connor.

O'Connor looked at him, realizing he was getting really worked up. He told him that he needed to go out to the tellers' booth to check on some information, and that he would be back momentarily.

He squeezed by Springer, and nervously hustled out of his office. He went over to Miss Green's counter, and asked her to get Mr. Philips, the security guard, to come up from the back room where he was on a 'coffee break'. He advised her that he was going to have trouble with this customer, and needed help to escort him out of the bank.

He went back into his office, and made another attempt to calm him down. He shuffled some papers while waiting for Philips to get there. Springer sensed that he was stalling, and looked out the door of the office, and then back to him. “Quit stalling.” Then he raised his voice in a threatening tone, “I want this money, and I am coming back on the 15th to get it. Have it ready for first thing in the morning. I have an appointment to finalize the paperwork at the dealership at eleven. I will repeat this - don't mess with me, or else there will be dire consequences. I am serious!”

He got up, and stormed out the door, just as Philips approached the office. He brushed past him, and hustled out of the bank.

Everyone was stunned at the outburst, and the blatant threat.

O'Connor was shaken by the confrontation, but calmly urged the tellers and customers to go about their business. That unpleasantness was over now. He tried to convince himself too, but did not succeed. It took him several minutes to calm down. But then the phone rang. He jumped, but then the day got busy, and he had no more time to think about it.

Then on Wednesday, March 15th the message of the card came back to him when he was confronted with Mr. Springer standing in his doorway, glaring at him. “Well, where's my money?

Time's a-wasting.” O'Connor felt a sudden fear build up in him. He was not accustomed to dealing with such an irate, threatening customer. He blushed, and began to stammer. “Uh, Mr. Springer, I am sorry, but I tried everything in my power to get Head Office to approve your loan, but they refused to budge. Sorry.”

He slammed the door shut behind him, and just exploded in fury. “Why you little weasel! I bet you never even tried to get it approved. Well, here I am, and you are going to get me that money, one way or the other. Get writing that cheque or money order – whatever you banking paper pushers have to do to get me the $25,000 I need.” O'Connor was terrified, and unsure what to do.

In desperation, he came up with an excuse of having to go out to the teller to get a blank money order. He didn't fall for that obvious attempt to escape the office.

He ordered him to get the teller to bring it to him. At that moment, he pulled out his concealed semi automatic pistol from his jacket pocket, and aimed it at his chest.

He took the safety off. O'Connor called out for one of the tellers to get a M.O. She brought it over to him as he stood in the doorway, now with the pistol in his back.

She saw the terror in his eyes, and Springer standing right behind him. She knew there was trouble.

She had witnessed his previous visit. She mouthed to him that she would get help. He nodded slightly. Springer slammed the door shut as O'Connor returned to his desk, with the pistol pointed at his chest again. O'Connor warned him that he couldn't get away with this. But he showed no concern. He just watched intently as O'Connor wrote out the money order. O'Connor hoped that in his rush, he wouldn't notice that he made the amount out as 'twenty five' dollars only',

instead of $25,000. He also dated the money order for March 17th, hoping he wouldn't notice that either and just pocket it, and leave. O'Connor knew that would give him time to cancel the money order, and get the police to arrest him.

But he was not that lucky.

Springer did look at it quite closely. He picked up on the date almost immediately. He glared at O'Connor and swore. Then he added “Nice try.” Then he noticed the written amount. That really set him off. “You bastard. You had no intention of giving me this money, did you? Well, I warned you. I am going to get this money, one way or the other. I guess we'll just have to go out and get that money from a teller, in cash instead. I hate to involve them.

They are innocent in this matter, but I will do that in order to get my money. C'mon. Get up and let's go.”

O'Connor just sat there, too scared to get up. Springer moved around the desk towards the chair where O'Connor was sitting. O'Connor went into action, by pushing his chair away from the desk towards the oncoming Springer, and lunged towards the door, hoping to escape his office.

But Springer pushed the chair out of his way, and fired his pistol at his back. O'Connor grabbed for his back as he felt the sting of the bullet entering between his shoulder blades. The sound of the pistol going off echoed around the office and out into the main part of the bank. He fell face first to the floor in shock and pain.

Springer pounced on him. He rolled him over onto his back, and then shot him in the chest.

He then realized what he had done in this fit of rage. Springer got off him, opened the door of the office, and stormed out, still holding the pistol in his left hand.

The now bloody money order was clutched in his left hand.

Fortunately there was no customers at that moment, just the two tellers because he had the audacity to demand she complete and sign a new correct money order.

She quickly did it, but her hand was shaking so hard it was hard to read. She handed it over to him, and he scrutinized in carefully, and was finally satisfied it was okay this time and ready to be cashed.

By then he had calmed down and walked out of the bank as if nothing had happened. Then she and the other teller rushed into his office, and gasped at the carnage. Philips, the security guard arrived just then to start his shift, He called 911. Unfortunately it was too late, as O'Connor was already dead.

The investigation began by getting the details of the prior incident, and then that day's attack from the bank staff and witnesses.

Then the detective, Don Walker, and his assistant, moved into the office to gather evidence. An APB went out for Springer. One of the first items they noticed was the ominous note about the Ides of March laying on the blood soaked chest of O'Connor. He immediately thought that whoever sent it would have their fingerprints all over it, besides O'Connor's.

He needed to be sure for his own sake that it was Springer's. That would be crucial for any court case. Walker was known for being thorough like that. The assistant took photos of the scene, and then they left. The office was locked and the crime scene tape stuck over the door. The bank was closed down for the rest of the day.

Springer was picked up shortly

afterwords. In questioning at the police station, the detective asked him why he sent the note. He had already made it clear that he was coming back on the 15th. But he gave the detective a puzzled look, and said he never wrote or sent any such note. Detective Walker showed it to him. Springer asked what the Ides of March was all about. That was when Walker realized he did not send the warning. So that meant somebody else did, and they must be a student of history, as this was such an unknown date. He was sent back to his cell, and Walker adjusted his thinking, trying to figure out who else might have sent this warning note.

March 17th turned out to be his lucky day. He checked out Springer's background and contacts. He learned that he had a girlfriend, Mary Penrose. And wouldn't you know, she worked at the very bank where this all took place.

In her statement, she confessed to writing the note, not as a threat to Mr. O'Connor, but just as a warning that Springer was going to do something violent when he came in on the 15th for his money. She was not scheduled to work that day, so that was why she mailed the cryptic note. She was terrified of him, as she knew all about his temper, especially when he didn't get his way. She didn't dare tell O'Connor directly, in case Springer found out that she had ratted him out. Now her greatest fear had come true. He had killed poor Mr. O'Connor, she lamented. She also admitted that she had obviously overestimated his knowledge and importance of the cryptic note. She had been so sure that he would pick up on the significance of it right away.

She was distraught that she had not brought him good luck. Det. Walker agreed and admonished her for not doing more to stop it.

She just hung her head.

But on a happier note, the luck of the Irish fell upon 23-year old Paddy O'Leary. Since it was St. Patrick's Day,and a Friday before the weekend, he went to the bank during his lunch break to get some drinking money out for his night at the Legion with some green beer and stew. He went up to Miss Green, and asked how things were going, what with the murder of Mr. O'Connor and all.

She wiped away some tears, and said that it was going as well as could be expected. Then she put on her business face. Paddy got his money out, and checked his bank book for the balance. He did a double take. The amount was $50,025.10, and he stared at it for a moment, before recovering and asking her what this was all about. He figured that he should only have about $25 left in that account. She pulled up the last couple of days' postings.

She found the one in question for $50,000.00, and told him that it had been deposited earlier that day. She remembered that the secretary from the law firm of 'Patrick & Day ' had been the one to make the deposit of a certified cheque and a letter of authorization to deposit it into his account.

She didn't have any other details.

So he thanked her, and rushed over to their office, which was just a couple of blocks away from the bank.

The secretary advised him that she knew nothing about the benefactor. She was just following instructions from Mr. Day. She ushered him into the conference room, and told him that he would be in shortly to explain what it was all about.

He came in shortly, shook his

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

hand, and offered him a brandy (which he quickly took and downed). They then got down to business. He offered this explanation “Paddy, I am sorry that I cannot reveal the name of the person that bequeathed you that money just yet. I have been authorized to reveal his name exactly one year from today, on March 17, 2007. During the year, I am to assess how well you can handle all this money. If you still have the $50,000 in your account, or can increase its' total, I can reveal your benefactor's name, and as a reward, another $50,000 will be put into your account.”

Paddy grabbed onto the point that it was a man. He could not think of anyone here in Canada that would be doing this, so he asked if it was any of his relatives in Ireland. All he got was an 'I can't say' reply. He noticed the lawyer drop his eyes to his papers, which lead him to suspect it was..

But no matter how much cajoling he tried, he could not get any more information out of him.

So he left and went home. He began making phone calls to the few relatives that he had here in Canada. None were the benefactor. He did get some names and phone numbers of relatives over in Ireland though. By six that night, he had found out who the generous benefactor was. It was his Uncle Cedric O'Leary. He was a prominent lawyer in Dublin.

He was the successful brother of the family who stayed in Ireland to make his fortune. Danny was the poor one who emigrated to Canada when he was a young man, hoping to make his fortune in the gold market. Of course it never worked out for him. He did stay in the gold market, though but as a miner in a gold mine in Northern Manitoba. Paddy had been born there, and being the oldest of 3 children born to Margaret and Danny. Since last year when Paddy's two younger brothers, and both parents died in a car accident Cedric had been learning more about him, such as that he was nearly broke. He wanted to make sure that he could change his financial situation, but wanted a test first. He also did not want him to know who was providing this financial boost to his bank account. That is why he came up with this arrangement, and found this law firm to set things up. He learned this from his Aunt Tessa, and she swore him to secrecy so as to not upset his plans. He agreed. Now that Paddy knew who was doing this for him, he became determined to show him that he could indeed manage this money wisely.

Once he had this settled in his mind, he hustled out to get down to the Legion. On his way there, he dropped in at the convenience store, and bought a lottery ticket – he was feeling lucky, and then checked his last week's numbers.

He nearly fainted right away when the bells and whistles went off in the machine, and the clerk said that he had won $50,000. What were the odds of winning two sets of $50,000 in one day, and on St. Patrick's Day, to be sure! Talk about the 'luck of the Irish' – it sure was for Paddy, and he told the clerk, “What a great day to be Irish!”

(And so it goes. I bet that green beer and stew tasted even better that year for Paddy, and that he paid for a few rounds to celebrate his good fortune with his fellow Irish kin – and aren't we all Irish this day! J.W.) Happy St. Patrick's Day To One & ALL

OBITUARY

LEBEL, Joseph “Steven” Mark May 18th, 1959 – March 8th, 2018 Passed away unexpectedly in Sudbury. Steven is fondly remembered as the eldest son of Jeannine Lebel (nee Ringuette) and the late Rhéal Lebel of Powassan. He is remembered as “Willis” by his beloved partner and best friend Gisele Lyons of Wawa. Gisele and Steven met in 2009 all because of a fishing trip at White Lake gone wrong. Remembered as “Dad” by his “Darling Daughter” Rebecca Lebel (Dustan Knee) of Wawa and his late son Ryan Lebel. Also remembered as the “Big Brother” by his late brother Jason Lebel and his younger sister Cheryl Lebel of Powassan. Steven will be remembered by his extended family, his step-daughter, his “Wingman” Christine Johnstone (Corey Black) and his step-son “Eager Wood Burner” Todd Prud’homme all of Wawa. “Papa Stevie” and Hero to Lindsay, Kassandra, Joshua and Jacob. Also remembered by his mother-in-law Jeannine Lyons of Azilda, brother in law of Diane Benard (Marc) of North Bay, Ed Lyons (Lynn) of Azilda and Jacqueline Morneau (Rob) of Chelmsford. Also known as “The Fishing Technician” by his friends and special neighbours. Known for his infectious smile and big hearty laugh, one could say his heart was as big as he was. Born and raised in North Bay, he attended Ecole Secondaire Algonquin.

At a young age he discovered his love and passion for fishing. He graduated from the University of Guelph in 1983 with an Honors Bachelor of Science Degree from the Fishery and Wildlife Biology program. He participated in various sports and social activities. His first summer job brought him to Kormak Lumber Company near Chapleau for which he was hired by his size. The following year lead him to Wawa where he worked for the MNR cutting part of the Lake Superior Voyageur trail, then to Park Warden at White Lake park. He then moved on to work for Weyerhaeuser Strand Board Mill where he stayed for 12 years, working his way up to a supervisory role. When the mill shut down, he returned to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in Wawa, working many different contracts and roles. He achieved his life-long goal of becoming a Management Biologist. He truly enjoyed his role especially with the moose and salmon surveys. He adored participating in Sturgeon Projects and being on the big

boat with crews from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. He brought countless wildlife home overnight till accommodations were provided. A big reason for loving his job was working with awesome co-workers in which he considered all as family and friends. He really enjoyed those out-house parties.

He loved social gatherings, funny songs and telling corny and inappropriate jokes. Steve always had lots of time; he enjoyed every nap and favorite foods he could sneak in. When salmon fever came a calling on Lake Superior, 6 am was never too early. He enjoyed fishing, curling, dances, 70’s music, “dressing up” and shopping at Costco.

But mostly his piece of paradise on Anjigami Lake; where beautiful memories were created with family, friends and the Anjigami clan.

It was the only place he enjoyed doing chores; like his “million dollar” floating dock the grandkids can never get enough of. Always loved by many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews & friends.

"May you be in peace on the big Lake in the Sky!" A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Monica’s Church on Saturday March 17, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. with Reverend Michael Asorgoe officiating.

Wawa Atom & Bantam Travellers Bring Home Gold!

Article by Barb Fisher, photos supplied Congratulations to our Atoms and Bantams; both Gold Medal Champions at this past weekend's NOHA Tournament of Champions.

Our Atom Travellers headed to Iroquois Falls to compete at the "B" Division. The NOHA divides teams based on their population and although Wawa is classified as a "C" centre, both teams felt that they had what it takes to move up a level and compete against northern Ontario teams with a larger population from which to draw players.

Our Atoms began the tournament with a 3-3 tie vs Manitoulin Panthers, and with a dominating 5-0 win against South Porcupine and another 6-1 win vs Chapleau, the Atoms finished up in first place in the Round Robin.

In Sunday morning semifinal action, our Atoms faced Powassan and came out victorious with a 3-1 win.

Finals at the TOC's mean long waits as each team is required a minimum of a three hour break between games, but our Atoms held it together and showed their fans the "right stuff ". In a hard fought nailbiter against South Porcupine, our young Wawa team came out victorious with a 4-2 win - GOLD. Congratulations also goes to two of our Wawa Atom players who demonstrated stellar performances: Rylan Fellinger was awarded the Most Valuable Defenceman medal of the tournament, and Parker Moore received his medal for the Most Valuable

Forward in the tournament.

Bravo Wawa Atom Travellers!

Meanwhile, in another neighbouring town our Bantam Travellers were setting the pace for their finale.

Also competing at a "B" division, these young men were focused from game one on dominating each of their three Round Robin games: 7-1 win over Cochrane, 8-3 victory over Chapleau and an absolute domination over Timmins with a 23-1 win.

On to the semis on Sunday morning meeting Manitoulin Panthers, our Bantams fought their toughest battle of the weekend but prevailed with a 8-4 win. Again the long wait meant difficulty in focusing on the end game. The Bantams fearlessly skated onto the ice meeting Chapleau for the medal and they did not disappoint; domination again with a 6-0 win coloured GOLD. Congratulations to these young men for representing our little town of Wawa with talent and respect both on and off the ice!

Hockey season this year is quickly wrapping up - but not just yet. Next weekend our Novice and Peewee teams travel to South Porcupine and Hearst respectively for their NEOHA League Finals. Have fun and Go for Gold!
