Wawa Hosts NEOHA Peewee Grand Finale

Article by Barb Fisher, photos by Brandi MacLachlan Several months ago the management of our Wawa Peewee Travellers put in motion a bid to host the final North Eastern Ontario Hockey Association Peewee "A" Grand Finale (NEOHA) and was successful in bringing the tournament to Wawa. Manager Trudy Dunham gathered an eager group of parents, volunteers and sponsorship donors to put together an extravaganza to remember. Our Peewee Travellers faced off against the six other teams in the NEOHA: Chapleau Huskies, Hearst Lumber Kings, Iroquois Falls Eskimos, Kapuskasing Icehawks, Porcupine Jr Gold Kings and Timmins North Stars.

Wawa Peewee Travellers Sebastian Chevrier, Logan Dunham, Austin Fellinger, Wyatt MacLachlan, Tyler Andre, Madrix Bouchard, Carter Benka, Eben Leadbetter, Matthew Castonguay, Quinn Laing, Hunter Chiasson, Brooke Davidson, Brady Desrochers and Cooper Moore.

The action got underway Friday morning to get all 17 games into the weekend schedule. Friday night's opening ceremony got the Finale officially opened with President Peter Moore greeting the teams, offering encouragement, and thanking the generous sponsors. Our very talented Paula Valois sang O Canada, and Mary Haight, a long time supporter of WMHA with team Captain Brooke Davidson dropped the ceremonial puck. And the games continued.

Saturday night offered a break in the gruelling pace for the youngsters to relax...just a little, because the Skills Competition

is not to be taken lightly; everyone is out to win. When the ice chips settled: Fastest Forward - Hunter Chaisson 2nd, Fastest Backward - Brooke Davidson 1st, Hardest Shot - Carter Benka 3rd, Accuracy Shooting - Wyatt MacLaghlan 1st, Shoot Out - Eben Leadbetter/ Matthew Castonguay 3rd place team, Shootout on Goalie - Seb Chevrier 4th place. After the serious stuff was done a Fun Relay gave the kids a breather in jumping through hula hoops, pylons and spinning exercising - hilarious fun. The Penny table was always visible for everyone passing to take a chance on winning some great prizes, and fast forwarding to the end of the tournament drum roll please - Cooper Moore was drawn to win the grand prize of an iPad mini. In the Chuck-a-puck contest Miko Castonguay won the 50-50 pot.

Wawa Peewees won both their round robin games on Friday: vs Chapleau 7-4 with the MVP going to Cooper Moore, and against Iroquois Falls 6-2 with the MVP going to goalie Sebastian Chevrier.

Saturday's action featured our Peewees facing the league champions Kapuskasing ending in a 3-3 tie with Logan Dunham earning the MVP. The final game of the round robin play matched our team with Timmins with Seb Chevrier earning the only shutout MVP of the tournament in a 4-0 win. Not bad for an Atom aged goalie!

This amazing effort earned this young goalie his 2nd MVP award. Wawa finished the round robin with 7 points, one point behind S.Porcupine giving them a second place finish going into the Semi Finals on

Sunday. Our Peewees once again faced Kapuskasing and fought a hard battle but took a loss of 3-2. Austin Fellinger earned the MVP on this our final game. The Tournament ended with a 3rd place finish for our Peewees. Even though it was tough to take, defeat is part of the game and every player can be proud of their effort and accomplishments in another Tournament well played in their hockey career.

Kapuskasing went on to win the gold medal game against Chapleau with a 7-3 win.

Events such as these bring much notoriety and patronizing of town businesses with profits going back to our Minor Hockey Association, and cannot happen with much financial support from the sponsors: White River Air, Wesdome, Hawk Air, Subway,TransCanada Chrysler, Northern Lights Ford, Northern Credit Union, Cameron Lake Recreation Club, Brookfield Power, White River Forest Products, Wawa Family Health Team, John's ValuMart, Michipicoten First Nation, AJ's Pizza, and North of 17.

A great round of applause goes to our Peewee coaches and the organizers of the extravaganza: head coach Peter Moore, assistant coach Scott Davidson and manager/trainer Trudy Dunham. Also thanks and congratulations to the parents, family and friends who do an amazing juggling act to enable their kids to experience such a wonderful life lesson and character building experience. And to the sports enthusiasts who packed the arena for three days, Wawa fans - you're the best!

Une communauté découvre la réalité des sans abri Le 17 février, plusieurs citoyens et membres de la communauté de Wawa se sont rassemblés au gymnase de l’école Saint-Joseph (Wawa) avec les élèves de la 7e à la 12e et personnel de l’école Saint-Joseph afin d’écouter un message de M. Joe Roberts au sujet des sans-abri. Dans sa présentation qui incorporait de l’humour (pour alléger les moments difficiles), des anecdotes et un diaporama. M. Roberts a partagé ses expériences et son vécu sans censure. Il s’est assuré de présenter le vrai portrait d’être dans la rue, sans foyer. Nulle personne s’imagine vivre ces moments- là!

Peu importe ton statut social, ton état financier ou ta vie familiale, certaines circonstances font en sorte que tu peux te retrouver

dans la rue sans l’avoir cherché! D’où l’importance de ne jamais juger un sansabri sans prendre le temps de connaître son histoire.

Contrairement à plusieurs, Joe s’en est sorti grâce à l’appui de sa mère ainsi que d’un policier. Aujourd’hui, sa tournée traversant le Canada, c’est son genre de «Pay It Forward». Il a conclu sa présentation en comparant les personnes aux cents noires; certaines sont plus ternies que d’autres, même plus «usées» que d’autres, toutefois elles ont toutes la même valeur. Lorsqu’on lui dit que la cent noire n’est plus en circulation, il dit «c’est mon rêve que la même chose aura lieu pour les sans-abri: qu’on puisse un jour seulement les retrouver dans un musée, tout prêt de la cent noire!

Michipicoten Chronicles

by Johanna Rowe, CAHP

Morley Callaghan Born in Toronto in 1903, Morley Callaghan was a critically acclaimed writer and novelist. Recipient of the Governor Generals Award for his literary masterpieces, Morley Callaghan was a celebrated Canadian author who was commonly categorized with Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce and F. Scott Fitzgerald, some of whom were considered both contemporaries and friends.

In 1932 he published his third novel, Broken Journey, which took place in “the Mission” on Michipicoten River. During the summer of 1928 Morley Callaghan and his new wife Lorretto Dee spent their honeymoon on a steamer trip from Sault Ste. Marie up the east shore of Lake Superior to Michipicoten River Village.

Broken Journey is the story of ordinary relationships and the search for answers to moral dilemmas “on the north shore of Lake Superior…the loneliest and most beautiful country in the world.” (page 8 of Broken Journey) The story, though fictional, includes accurate details and descriptions of the people, places, buildings and wild nature of the Michipicoten and Wawa areas at the turn of the twentieth century.

Mr. Callaghan wrote 18 novels and over 100 short stories. His works included such familiar titles as Strange Fugitive (1928), Luke Baldwin’s Vow (1947), and The Loved and the Lost (1951).

His most popular work, That Summer in

Paris, is a memoir of his time in Paris, France with his wife, and an infamous boxing match in which he bested Ernest Hemingway.

Morley Callaghan passed away in the city of his birth in 1990 at the age of 87. His name continues to be celebrated internationally and will forever hold an important place in the diverse list of Canadian artists and authors.

Morley was one of many who continue to be inspired by the beauty and extraordinary character of the Wawa area.

“Come and Go” celebration

While a Throne Speech sets the agenda for a full parliament, budgets are where the bulk of the planning really gets done.

That’s when tax measures and spending really start to take shape. With the advent of omnibus budgets, more than just spending can be crammed into a budget making it almost certain to be the most important piece of legislation a government will put forward year after year.

In their first budget, the Liberals focussed on infrastructure, but took a long view with $120 billion earmarked to roll out over ten years.

The budget was considered unambitious given the sense that so much was thought to have changed from the Conservative government they replaced. By tabling the smallest budget in years, the government signalled that any big changes would have to wait.

As we prepare for budget 2017, New Democrats are reminding the government that the time has come to build an economy that lifts everyone up, not just a handful of lucky individuals at the top. That starts with keeping the campaign promise to address a gaping hole in our tax code that costs Canada more than $800 million a year for stock option deductions for CEOs. They abandoned

that promise in response to corporate lobbying, but if they want to be progressive that’s the place to start.

They can use that money to make good on important promises that are not being kept – like closing the funding gap that exists for Indigenous peoples.

That means making promised investments in child welfare and mental health services, building physical infrastructure to put an end to boil water advisories in Indigenous communities, and lifting the punitive 2% cap on funding transfers.

New Democrats are worried by numerous leaks suggesting the government is thinking about selling off Canadian assets like airports just to turn a quick buck. That will lead to increased user fees for many years to come and is part of a dangerous trend towards for-profit infrastructure. This is the same thing that happened provincially with hydro. The gains are short-term, but the costs become permanent. It is also the exact opposite of investing in public infrastructure which is what most Canadians are expecting.

When it comes to infrastructure, the Parliamentary Budget officer has warned us that the government has not met its budget commitments in their first year, leaving $2.5

billion unspent. While that is troublesome it also represents an opportunity to build our economy for now and the future by committing to a green economy.

That would create good full time jobs and allow Canada to become a leader in clean energy. All it will take is an investment in home energy retrofits, training workers for the emerging green economy, and of course by getting critical infrastructure dollars out the door.

Finally, New Democrats are urging the government to add prescription drugs to our universal health care. Canada is the only country with universal health care that does not have a prescription drug component. If we move in this direction it will lower drug costs for Canadians and save billions.

There is still a chance for the government to use budgets to build Canada up in the progressive way most of their voters expect.

Whether they choose to do so or maintain the course they inherited from Stephen Harper remains to be seen. We will have a better sense of that when the budget is delivered on March 22nd.

The Algoma News and Printing Corp. will be CLOSED Friday, March 24th.

Community Climate Change Workshop for the Municipality of Wawa Wawa, ON. Canadian communities are becoming increasingly vulnerable to a range of climate changes including rising temperatures and more frequent and intense storms. Recognizing that we have already begun to experience the impacts of these changes in weather patterns, climate change adaptation is necessary to moderate harm to the community.

As municipalities are the level of government closest to residents, they are on the front lines of responding to the impacts of climate change. Acknowledging these risks, the Municipality of Wawa has begun to take proactive steps to prepare for current and future impacts resulting from changing climate. Through participation in the Great Lakes Climate Change Adaptation Project

led by ICLEI Canada and supported by the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change under the Canada-Ontario Agreement Respecting the Great Lakes, the Municipality of Wawa will be hosting community risk and vulnerability workshop on March 22, 2107. The municipality is looking forward to gathering with invited community organizations and municipal representatives, and documenting their perspectives on risks and vulnerability of the community.

The results of the workshop will provide the Municipality of Wawa with important information on perceived community risk and vulnerability. This information will help guide the Municipality with further assessment of impacts as well as action planning moving forward. This

information will also be used to determine wide ranging effects on the many commercial activities of Wawa, from Tourism to Forestry. This will help the Municipality and other community partners plan for a sustainable future.

By taking practical steps early, we are reducing future climate change related risks in the Municipality of Wawa and building a more resilient community.

Contact Alex Patterson, Assistant Director of Community Services, 705856-2244, ext. 241 or Cathy Cyr, Deputy Clerk, 705-8562244, ext. 222 for more information.

The junior / senior kindergarten and grade one classes of Jennifer Chandor–Hall at Sir James Dunn Public School continued a long standing practice of donating 100+ non-perishable items to the Food Bank. Accompanied by the grade eight class, the children proudly placed their items on our shelves. This counting project is part of the primary math curriculum but is also a wonderful way to teach empathy and the importance of giving to others.

The Food Bank has also benefitted from Joe Roberts’ Push For Change initiative to highlight the plight of homeless youth. Wawa OPP Sergeant Manuela Byrnes walked with him for a long stretch along Highway 17 and challenged the community to provide a pair of socks for every kilometre covered. A cash donation and multiple pairs of warm adult and children’s socks will certainly assist our clients. Thank you to everyone who made this venture a success.

We also thank the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby committee for encouraging Derby registrants to donate fish to the Food Bank. Additionally, we appreciate the very generous cash donation from the sale of items such as shirts and ball caps.

As always, many thanks to the staff of SUBWAY which continues to provide bread products and to the staff and management of Valu Mart for providing a designated cart

Thank you to the Family Health Team for this valuable client connection and to the EDC for providing space for this endeavour.

On another topic entirely, during the month of March, volunteers will collect food bank usage data which is then submitted to the Hunger Count 2017 Survey. This survey is an annual, Canada wide project which analyses information provided by food banks for this period of time to provide a snapshot of a typical month; the authors of the report then compare trends to other years and make suggestions to provincial and federal levels of government regarding the issues of poverty and food insecurity.

Many thanks to those in our community who help alleviate food insecurity here at home.

NOW The Municipality of Wawa is very excited to release the official logo for the Wawa Celebrates Canada 150 events in 2017.

Chris Benka of the NITGC has been working very hard with Community Services and Tourism staff to create this logo which will be featured with all of Wawa’s Canada 150 events throughout the year. There will be many local events throughout this historical year to honour Canada’s 150 years of confederation such as our Canada Day celebrations, which include the unveiling of our new Wawa Goose, and our Canadian National Film Day events among many

others coming up this year.

This new and innovative logo helps Wawa step into the limelight with other communities around Canada in regards to the 150th birthday celebrations. When asked about the new logo, Mayor Ron Rody stated “The logo graphically captures the essence of our July 1st Celebrations. The unveiling of the new Wawa Goose monument will highlight a festive weekend focusing on 150 years of our proud heritage as Ontarians and Canadians.”

Local businesses and community groups are encouraged to use the official logo alongside their

advertisements in order to gain more interest in our local events.

With Jim White

The Maple Syrup War It is that time of the year again when maple syrup production goes into full swing. The trees are tapped, and the fires are stoked for the arrival of the tree sap which will be boiled down to make this 'liquid gold'. Weather plays such a pivotal role on when the production can begin.

In 2009 it started in late March.

In the Township of Maplepure, northeast of the major production area on St. Joe's Island there were these 2 small producers who made just enough to fill the requests of the local area. Cyrus Maplebutter had been in the business for 25 years, whereas his next door neighbour, Josef Maplefudge had been at it for only 5 years.

There always was a friendly rivalry about such things as who would get their syrup ready first, which one tasted better, and who would sell out first. It had been pretty even over the 5 years that they had competed. Cyrus had won 3 times, and Josef twice.

This year there was a wholesale change of operation by both of them. Cyrus had fallen in early January and broke a hip. At 83, these things can be devastating. It had certainly taken quite a toll on him. His wife had passed away from cancer a year earlier.

Fortunately, his only child, his son, Richard, took over the farm and lot. Richard was a farmer at heart, and loved that lifestyle. He had grown up on it, and stayed after high school. He never went to college or university, but just stayed at home helping his father.

He had the hay fields to cultivate in the summer, and a vegetable garden, which produced enough crops for the market in the Soo, the general store in the village, the local cafe, and enough for themselves. Although the maple syrup production was labour intensive, they had always been able to make money out of the deal. It certainly supplemented their income to help out to replace supplies for the following years' production, as well as for the shack, barn and house repairs.

Josef had lost his wife and one son in a car accident in early February. He was having a hard time coping with the loss, as well as the legal matters that had to be finalized. So he too was lucky that his oldest remaining son, Tomas, had agreed to take over the operation, at least for 2009. He wouldn't commit to anything beyond this one year, he had warned his father.

He worked in Sault Ste. Marie during the week at City Hall as a supervisor in the tax department. He told his father that he could only devote so much time to this. This was just a hobby farm to him, as it was for his father.

Josef worked in a seasonal job as a tree trimmer for Ontario Hydro in Blind River for the spring, summer and fall. He was laid off by Thanksgiving every year. He and his wife had bought this house with the wood lot out back as a retirement home. Of course Tomas knew that this was a short period of time that the syrup ran, so he had made arrangements at work to take the time off during the peak production.

As the season approached, both farms got busy getting their trees tapped. Cyrus had modern-

ized that part of the business last year, by investing in plastic tubes that ran to each tree. Thomas continued to use the old spigot system since his father couldn't afford the upgrade.

Rounding up manpower also got into full gear. Richard had brothers, sisters and cousins to help him out. They all lived away from the farm, but would take turns coming home to help out as needed. Tomas had to rely on friends from work and his hockey team to get his roster ready.

Both their sugar shacks still relied on the wood fires and iron kettles to boil the syrup. The wood piles were ready to go, as their wood had been cut and piled the previous fall. So by the third week of March that year, everything was ready to go for both of them. They just needed the weather to co-operate.

Finally on March 26th, the sap began flowing. That was when the first problem arose. Richard went out on his snowmobile to check his lines, and along the dividing trail between their properties he discovered some of his spigots and lines had been pulled out, and inserted on the Maplefudge side. He was shocked that Tomas would do such a thing. Then as he went further along the property line between the two lots, he discovered more had been tampered with.

He headed over to Tomas' house to confront him. He opened the door just enough to poke his head out. Richard told him what had happened, and asked him to put them back. Tomas shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know anything about it. He had other guys tapping trees in that southern area where this had 'supposedly happened', as he worded it. He had been working the north side of the bush. He promised to look after things, but added that he was sure the trees that were tapped by his crew were within his property boundary. Before Richard could reply, the door was shut in his face.

He was a bit miffed, and stunned at the abrupt end of this conversation. But he left and went back to tending the rest of his lines.

The next day when he went to checkout his trees again, and he saw that nothing had been done to move things back to his side of the boundary trail. And further along his property line, some of his tubing had been pulled out, and had been cut right through, and were laying on the ground.

That got him really mad. He went back to confront Tomas. Again, he just poked his head out the door enough to stare at Richard. He told him that nothing had been done to move those lines, and added about the further damage done to his tubing. He warned him not to tamper with his lines again. He paused, and took a deep breath. to calm down, and suggested a buffer zone be established where no trees would be tapped.

He did not like friction between them, and hoped that would resolve the situation. To Richard's relief, Tomas agreed with that proposal, although he still claimed those trees were on his property, and that he knew nothing about the other damaged lines. Richard ignored the denial, and just offered

a peace gesture by wishing him well with his syrup production.

He commented on the weather, hoping that it would hold, and closed off by offering help, if he needed it. Tomas seemed to calm down too, and thanked him for the offer, and wished him luck too.

So that irritant was resolved for the moment. But then another situation happened. A couple of days later, on March 28th, Richard went out to his sugar shack, and found that a large pile of wood had been stolen from the side of the building. From the tracks he saw that a snowmobile with a trailer had come in and loaded up his wood, and taken off with it. To make matters worse, he noticed that the door inside had been smashed in. When he entered the shack, he was horrified to see the vandalism done to his equipment.

He tallied up the damage, and realized it was going to cost him at least $2000.00 to get everything fixed. Despite this he guessed that it should only put him offline for just a couple of days.

Before he headed to the Soo to get what he needed, he decided to see Tomas, just to find out if his shack had been damaged too, and hoping that he had not vandalized his shack in order to slow him down or put him out of business altogether.

This was just after 8:00 a.m.

When he drove into the driveway, he was shocked to see a snowmobile loaded up with his wood. He knocked on the door, unsure how to approach this. He didn't want to come right out and accuse Tomas of the theft, and possible vandalism. He was caught off guard when Josef opened the door, and not Tomas. He invited Richard in for coffee, but he declined, saying he had to get into town. He did explain about his problem, and innocently asked if their shack had been vandalized.

Josef assured him that he didn't think so, although he had not gone out at all this year. He was leaving the entire operation in his son's hands. Just as Richard was leaving, he pretended to notice the wood, and innocently asked where he got the wood. Richard thought he saw a flicker of nervousness pass over his face, but just said that Tomas must have got it from the unused portion of the woodlot at the far east end. Richard knew he was not going to get anything else from him, so said goodbye, and headed to the city. While there, he reported the vandalism to the OPP. An officer met him that evening at home.

Then the officer went next door to talk to Tomas. He denied everything, and seemed to have a denial every time a question was raised, the officer told Richard later.

Meanwhile, Richard headed out to his shack with the supplies he had bought to make the necessary repairs. He also set up a hidden camera, one of the items he had bought while in the Soo that day. That very night, the camera caught a mysterious person snooping around, carrying what looked like a gas can. Fortunately no damage was done, as the intruder tripped a wire that sent a bright flash of light, followed by a loud siren going off. That scared him off. Unfortunately, the next day when Richard checked the video, he could not make out who the person was. But at least he had scared him off, he sighed.

And that ended any further problems between the two of them for a while. But you just know that this would not be the end of it.

The next round came once they were selling their finished product.

The battleground occurred at the small general store, and the village cafe. Both of them had been able to set up a display. Since they both were a just a small supplier, they were limited where to sell.

Richard brought in 10 one-litre bottles, 3 tubs of maple butter, and 5 bags of fudge to each business.

He charged $25 for the syrup, $10 for the butter, and $5 for the fudge. Tomas brought in 5 bottles of syrup, 4 tubs of maple butter, and 3 bags of fudge to each place.

He charged $26 for his syrup, $11 for the butter, and $6 for the fudge.

They both came back 2 days later to check on how the sales were going. Between the 2 locations Richard had sold 8 bottles of syrup, one butter, and 3 fudge.

He re-stocked his display, and was pleased at how sales were going.

Tomas hadn't sold anything. In anger, he slashed his prices in order to undercut Richard's prices.

He cut the syrup price to $20; the butter to $5 and the fudge to $2.

When they came back the next time, Richard had sold out, whereas Tomas had only sold one bottle of syrup, even at those cut rate prices. When he was at the cafe, he happened to overhear 2 of the locals talking at the small table in the front window where they were having a coffee. They had not noticed him standing behind them, as they were talking about his maple syrup operation. The one customer said, “Richard told me all about the hassles he has had with that Tomas. His trees had been damaged, and his shack has been vandalized by him. He also warned me that he was watering down his syrup, and it was not properly boiled, so who knows what impurities might be in it too.

The other man replied, “That's interesting. I sure won't buy his stuff then. Besides, Richard and his family have lived here for at least a couple of generations.

These other guys have only been here a few years, and it is just a hobby farm for him. They are not serious producers like Cyrus and Richard are.” Tomas was stunned.

He fumed out of the cafe and headed home.

The next morning both the general store and the cafe had been found to have been broken into overnight. The owners were shocked to find all of Richard's syrup poured on the floor. The fudge had been crumbled up and sprinkled over the puddle of sticky syrup. The butter was still on the shelf, but the lids had been taken off, and there was sand all over the top. A sheet of paper was also on the shelf beside the ruined butter.

It read, “'Maplefudge' products are up to standards and a quality equal to or better than 'Maplebutter's.

Try it for yourself. You'll see.” It was signed 'A Satisfied Customer'.

The OPP were called in, and after a quick investigation, Tomas was arrested at his workplace in the Soo. He declared his innocence, but it seemed to be an airtight case.

The next day it was discovered that Tomas was indeed innocent.

He had told his father of his non sales and what he had heard in the cafe. Josef had done the damage in a fit of rage. It only came to light when Cyrus had gone over to talk to him about the situation.

They were sitting in the kitchen over a beer when he admitted doing it. He also confessed that he was pretty sure his son had been behind the moving of the spigots and lines from their side of the trail to theirs. In turn, Cyrus

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

declared that he was appalled that his own son had resorted to spreading those lies around the area that Tomas had overheard at the cafe. He declared to Josef that this war had to end right then and there. He agreed. The 2 sons each got a real lecture that evening over supper. Josef told Tomas that they had been invited over to the Maplebutters for a meeting where a truce was going to be declared.

During the tense get together, Tomas finally admitted that he was jealous of Richard's knowledge of syrup making, and had the better, more modern operation. He went on to admit that he had instigated the war by moving those spigots and tubes over to their side of the trail boundary. He also admitted that he really didn't know what he was doing, despite the help of his father. Richard, always the peacemaker, admitted that he bought one bottle of syrup, butter and fudge, and insisted that he paid the full price, before adding that their stuff tasted better than their own. He went on to admit that his anger had been building ever since the first run in with the taps. Then when Tomas slashed his prices, he knew that he could not compete.

He was afraid that folks would quit buying his stuff. You know how people are always looking for the cheapest price, he commented.

Richard concluded by offering his help again, just like the first time they confronted each other. By the end of the evening, everything was settled. The war was truly over – at least for then.

The war was almost re-ignited though that night. Cyrus offered Tomas and Jose some cake and ice cream to seal the deal. He asked if they wanted maple syrup on that.

The Maplefudges' began to bristle, before Cyrus laughed at the gaff.

Then they did too, and poured the syrup on.

Well, the next year went better, as they formed their own company, and pooled their syrup in order to improve sales, and earn more money for each of them, of course. Unfortunately, in 2014 Josef passed away, and Tomas sold the farm. He moved to Alberta to take a job in the 'oil patch'. The new owners were not interested in carrying on the maple syrup production. Instead they began cutting down the maple trees for firewood. Richard pleaded with them to let him buy out the woodlot so he could use it to add on to his lot for maple syrup production, to no avail.

Richard carried on. Bad luck struck in 2015 when during a thunderstorm, his sugar shack had been hit with a bolt of lightning, and it was destroyed in the subsequent fire. Then in the summer of 2016 a major outbreak of the Maple Bark Beetle devastated the woodlot. He was forced to cut down most of the trees, and so had to close up his syrup business.

It was a blow for everyone in the area. Richard did keep up the farm without that to supplement his income. He was forced to take a part time job at the general store as their sales clerk and cashier.

Now in 2017 I await to see what kind of year it will be for maple syrup production overall, even though there is none going on in Maplepure. I harken back to the good old days back when it was such a thriving activity, and a big part of our family tradition....

Amber Maplebutter, Richard's cousin, Maplehurst, Ontario.

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.
