LDHCF Donor Appreciation Reception

Members of the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation Article & photo by Barb Fisher The Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation (LDHCF) held a reception in grand style treating guests to a wonderful array of healthy fruit, decadent sweets, cake and strawberry cocktails in the hospital's reception area on Sunday as the Foundation's way of honouring donors past and present who have enabled the LDHCF to generate charitable support and to enhance health care services delivered at the Lady Dunn Health Centre.

The Donor Recognition Celebration Come and Go is held each year to recognize donors and give families an opportunity to honour their loved ones whose names are inscribed on the "Forever In Our Hearts" donor boards.

Janet Besner, Chairperson of the LDHC Foundation thanked the Board of Directors, hospital staff, volunteers and intern Jennifer Fletcher for their hard work and dedication. Janet continued in announcing the unveiling of the redesigned Donor Recognition Boards and explained that the Boards have been revamped in a different format to make it easier

to keep the continuity when adding future names. The Boards: Friends, Sponsors/ Partners/Supporters, Generous Hearts, and In Honour show the inscriptions of names who have given an accumulated lifetime donation of at least $200, with names grouped indicating increasing increment donations to a very generous $50,000.00.

Mary Ciuciura, Foundation Treasurer took the podium to read out each name inscribed on the "Forever in Our Hearts" donor board to give families an opportunity to honour their loved ones whose names will always be remembered.

Kadean O'Gilvie-Pinter, Chief Executive Officer & Director of Patient Care Services thanked donors for their generosity, and Dr. Julie Weinstein was able to take time out of her busy work shift to thank everyone and their families for enabling state of the art medical services in our community.

The Foundation holds many exciting and novel fundraising events throughout the year. The current fundraiser supports the retrofit of the existing radiography equipment in the x-ray room to a

new Digital Radiography system. Once installed the new system will result in higher quality resolution images and diagnostic exams can be completed in less time. It will also allow the Health Centre to continue to provide excellent

care in radiography by staying current with advanced technology. To date $122,700.00 has been raised leaving only $31,300.00 left of their goal of $154,000.00, and a campaign update will be coming in April which will show how much closer the goal is within their reach.

The Foundation is continually exploring novel ways to attract contributions, and have launched a Wedding Day "New Beginnings" program to encourage charitable wedding donations which have become a popular alternative to wedding gifts. More and more couples are replacing traditional favours with a meaningful message that lets their guests know that a donation had been made to the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation. The newlyweds may also choose to indicate that the donation had been made in memory of someone dear to them. Upon receiving the donation from the newlyweds, the Foundation will pro-

By contributing funds to the Foundation, the Lady Dunn Health Centre will remain at the forefront of health care with modern medical equipment that will not only save lives, speed recovery and protect staff, but will help retain and attract health care professionals in our community today and into the future. I have been covering community events for some years now, and never cease to be amazed at how generous and quick to step up to the plate our citizens are. Well done Wawa. We can be proud of our track record in making Wawa a great place to live.

Richmont Open House Island Gold Mine Project Update

Article by Barb Fisher In our current downturned economy, finding a suitable and lucrative job can be a daunting task and with the presentation last week in our Community Centre by Richmont Mines, a good turnout of interested people attended exploring the possibility that a position with Island Gold Mine near Dubreuilville could be a good fit for them.

Richmont Mines has operated six underground gold mines and one open-pit gold mine in Canada since 1991. The Corporation currently produces gold from the Island Gold Mine near Dubreuilville and two other mines in Quebec simultaneously developing an estimated one million ounce high-grade global resource. Richmont is completing an extensive development program to access a high-grade million ounce deeper resource envelope established directly below its Island Gold Mine which will reposition the mine into a long-life, higherproduction and lower-cost operation capable of generating long term free cash flow and high-quality growth.

Richmont believes in promoting a culture of responsible performance operating in a sustainable manner and accountable to all of the stakeholders. At the heart of Richmont's commitment are four corporate values - Family, Health & Safety, Growth, and Team Work. Their mandate is to protect the health and safety of their employees, contractors, environment and communities affected by their activities. Richmont is committed to hiring the most progressive work force available giving young people a chance at a promising future by offering student co-op, internship and apprenticeship programs. They believe in talent development giving in-house safety rewards and recognition programs, talent development in leadership, performance management and succession planning and encouraging employees to think outside the box.

Richmont is proud of their local hiring program with currently 56% of workers

residing in the Dubreuilville, White River and Wawa vicinities. The work force at the moment is male dominated with 11% females and management is encouraging the trend in making attractive to females, a traditionally male dominated industry.

Richmont is proud to be able to encompass local businesses contributing retail goods, fuels and lubricants, roadway maintenance, commercial vehicles, airport and contract labour services, and have given a generous donation of $10,000 to the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation in support of their medical equipment donation drive.

Particularly attractive in their efforts to hire locally, Richmont is very proud of their Housing Program giving relocation allowances to qualified individuals to purchase a house in an effort to reduce long term costs associated with employees relocating to our area. To create pathways for members of local communities to pursue career opportunities, Richmont has partnered with Northern College's Underground Hard Rock Miner Common Core program and are currently holding the program at the Island Gold Mine with a second program scheduled in a few weeks' time. This on-site training not only gives participants the required modules to complete the program, but also gives them hands-on experience in a live production mine during the 12-week program.

This presentation gives encouraging news on the steady growth in the mining sector, shows excellent projection for the future in our area, and is open to bright young minds and progressive thinkers. For readers thinking that this may be an opportunity for them, check out their website www.richmontmines.com for contact information.

Michipicoten Chronicles

by Johanna Rowe, CAHP

Louisa MacKenzie Bethune

The life and legacy of Louisa MacKenzie represents the important role of women in Canada’s early frontier and the evolution of the fur trade industry.

Louisa was the daughter of Honourable Roderick Mackenzie and a Chipewyan woman. Louisa was born in 1793 at Fort Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca in Northern Alberta where her father was stationed. This was the same year that her father’s cousin, Alexander Mackenzie, made his famous voyage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean as the first European explorer to cross North America.

Louisa was given in to the care of Roderick’s kin Kenneth MacKenzie in 1800.

Kenneth was apprentice clerk at Grand Portage, then Fort Kaministiquia in 1803 and proprietor of the Fort William Department and Montreal agent until he drowned in 1816 on Lake Superior near Sault Ste. Marie where his remains are buried. His will records Louisa MacKenzie as the mother of his only child.

In 1817, Angus Bethune, a partner in the Northwest Company, visited Fort William where it is possible that Louisa first met her second husband. Between 1821 and 1836 Angus Bethune was stationed as Hudson’s Bay Company Chief Factor for one year at Moose Factory, two years at Fort Albany, eight years at Sault Ste. Marie, three years at Michipicoten and two years at La Cloche on Lake Huron.

Angus called his country wife “Miss Green Blanket”.

Angus and Louisa had six children. Their first child was born in London in 1821.

Their second son, Norman, was a founder of the Upper Canada College of Medicine in Toronto. His grandson, Dr. Henry Norman Bethune is a national hero in China. He pioneered the use of mobile blood banks in the Spanish Civil War and organized

mobile medical services for the Chinese Liberation Army in North China where he died of septicemia in 1939.

While Angus was stationed at the Michipicoten Post between 1832 and 1836, Louisa died in 1833 at the age of 40. There is no mention of her death in Angus’s journals or his regular reports to the HBCo. headquarters. The inscription on her gravestone is the only known record of her time at Michipicoten.

Louisa’s gravesite is one of the few remaining monuments to Michipicoten’s incredible fur trade story.

It also stands as a solemn reminder of the important role and sacrifice of European and native women to the growth and prosperity of the frontier in our early Canadian history.

4 Dead In Serious Motor Vehicle Collision Investigation Complete (SOUTH PORCUPINE, ON) - Members of the South Porcupine Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have completed their investigation into the collision which occurred on February 23, 2017 at 10:25 a.m., on Highway 101, approximately 70 kilometers west of Timmins.

As a result of the investigation, OPP has determined that no charges will be laid.

OPP Charge White River Man With Several Offences (WHITE RIVER, ON) - On Tuesday March 21, 2017, at approximately 2:14 a.m. members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Superior East Wawa Detachment responded to a local White River address regarding the well-being of the occupants. Investigation led police to enter the premise to continue their investigation.

Once inside officers observed evidence of what appeared to be controlled drugs. A warrant was executed with the assistance of the Sault Ste. Marie Crime Unit.

As a result Christian LUNDQUIST (24) of White River Ontario was charged with the following offences: • Adult Possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of TraffickingCocaine contrary to section 5 (2) of the Control Drugs and Substance Act,

Adult Possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of TraffickingOther Drugs contrary to section 5 (2) of the C.D.S.A, • Adult Possession of a Schedule I SubstanceCocaine contrary to section 4 (1) of the C.D.S.A, • Adult Possession OF A Schedule II substance for the purpose of Trafficking under 3kg contrary to section 5 (2) of the C.D.S.A, • Adult Possession of a Schedule II substance-Cannabis Marihuana-Over 30 grams contrary to section 4 (1) of the C.D.S.A, • Adult Possession of a Schedule I SubstanceOther Drugs contrary to section 4 (1) of the C.D.S.A, • Adult Fail to Comply with Conditions of Undertaking Given by Officer in Charge contrary to section 145 (5.1) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

The accused has been held in custody pending a bail hearing in Sault Ste Marie Ontario.

OPP Warns The Public Of Large Injured Dog On The Loose - Update (WHITE RIVER, ON) On Tuesday March 21, 2017 at approximately 6:45 a.m. members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Superior East White River Detachment responded to an animal complaint at a White River address.

On scene the officers observed the large black German Sheppard dog attack a person then run away. The animal which was believed to be injured and considered dangerous to public has been located by police and no longer poses a

threat to the public.

Snowmobile Season Winds Down In The North East Region (WAWA, ON) - As the 2017 Snowmobile season winds down, the North East Region Snowmobile, All Terrain Vehicle, Vessel Enforcement (SAVE) team wish to remind snowmobilers that ice conditions are changing rapidly and could present a significant risk.

Operators are encouraged to avoid crossing waterways as ice conditions are unpredictable.

In addition, before planning a trip check trail conditions and ensure your intended route is indicated as being open. Private landowners often close gates and become active on their property when the clubs post trails as closed. Respectful consideration of private property is important if the trail network is to be sustained. As the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) begins to indicate trails as unavailable, snowmobilers are encouraged to refer to the interactive trail guide and to travel on those trails that are limited or available. OFSC trail permits are still required on prescribed trails.

Warm weather in the late season can pose a problem for snow machines as they become susceptible to overheating which can lead to a mechanical failure and an unintended stay in the bush. Be prepared and ensure someone is aware of your route and expected time of return. When planning fuel stops be sure to consider late season trail closures. Carry extra fuel when possible. Ride safe and stay alert to varying trail conditions.

Carol Hughes, M.P. Algoma-ManitoulinKapuskasing

Meet The New Budget Same As The Old Budget Anyone who recalls last year’s budget will recognize most of this year’s because it’s basically a re-hash with next to nothing in the way of new spending. Just like last year’s economic blue print, all the big projects are spread out over long periods of time and backloaded. For example, the majority of the $11.2 billion announced for affordable housing won’t be spent until after 2022.

The truth is that the total new spending in the budget is quite small, adding up to only 1.3 billion of the 304.7 billion dollars being spent this year. The majority of the document is a collection of re-announcements and statements of general aim with next to no details attached. The intention to hunt down offshore tax cheats is a perfect example.

No dollar amounts were allocated and there is no indication of how much the government hopes to recoup. All we get is a generic shout-out for an issue that has been giving the government a black eye.

There is little to cheer for from a northern perspective either. Instead of listening to concerns about how their new infrastructure bank will only reward private investors and big urban centres, the government doubled down on forprofit infrastructure. This all but ensures our region will be on the outside looking in when it comes to infrastructure designed to make profits instead of building up the framework of our country.

Much is being made about the focus on innovation in the budget, but in the north where access to high-speed internet remains an inconsistent patchwork, that seems a lot like putting the cart

ahead of the horse. Despite the CRTC’s historic ruling on internet access in December, the government has not joined in to ensure all Canadians are able to take part in any innovation funding or programs they will create.

The absence of a home energy efficiency retrofit program will be felt in the north. In addition to being one of the most cost effective ways to reduce emissions and lower energy bills, the program is a great job creator. In a part of Canada where most homes are heated with expensive electricity, propane, or oil, the government is passing up a golden opportunity to show the region our concerns are understood.

Changes to EI amount to window dressing as well.

Maternity leave can now be spread out for an additional 6 months but the money is just being stretched out over time - there isn’t a single new penny in this measure. Premiums are going up, but nothing in the budget will change the fact that 6 out of 10 unemployed Canadians cannot access EI benefits when they need them. We know that EI is the best stimulus to protect our smaller communities during cycles of unemployment, but with premiums going up and nothing new coming out, it is clear the government only sees EI as a tax on your job.

Perhaps the most glaring omission in the budget relates to the broken promise to close the gap in funding for First Nations child welfare despite multiple rulings from the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.

It’s abandoned promises like these and back loaded commitments that could be the undoing of this government.

This week New Democrats challenged the Liberal government on a new but important front that MPP offices receive many complaints about; rent increases. My colleagues and I hear from young renters who are worried that this might be the month they’re hit with a rent hike they can’t afford.

We hear from families that say that the increases are chasing them from their homes – the place they’re raising their kids. Seniors are not exempt from such pressures either.

As it stands today in Ontario, rent increases are regulated to ensure tenants are able to afford to keep a roof over their heads.

However, according to the Residential Tenancies Act, only tenants living in buildings constructed before 1991 have rent increase caps which are based on annual rent increase guidelines. But those living in rental units built after 1991 have no such protection.

Across the province we hear from constituents who are facing rent increases of hundreds of dollars or even $1,000 a month in some instances. That’s just not fair, and it doesn’t have to be this way. The Wynne Liberals could have done something to eliminate this cruel loophole years ago but they chose not to. Well now it’s time to act.

On Monday during question period Andrea Horwath called on Premier Kathleen Wynne to stop allowing devastatingly unfair rent hikes. Later that day the NDP tabled a bill that proposes closing this loophole that allows landlords in buildings built later than 1991 to hike rents as much as they want, whenever they want. My colleagues and I will be working to pressure the government to bring this bill up for debate.

No doubt you have been hearing and reading about how the Liberals have decided to resolve the mess they’ve created with hydro in this province.

Their answer is to download the horrific costs onto the backs of our generations to come. The Liberal strategy will cost the people of Ontario over $40 billion in interest charges. Think back for a moment about the advice your parents gave you about running long term balances on your credit card. Paying interest charges is like burning your money. The only ones that are happy with interest charges are the banks. Yes, the Liberals say it will result in lowering our hydro bills by up to 25% but at what

cost and at whose expense?

The NDP is not merely standing on the sideline and watching the parade of Liberal ads and radio promotions, paid for by the tax payers of Ontario. You’ll notice that the ads have the tag line, “Paid for by the Government of Ontario.”

(That’s you.) So far, not one dime has come off people’s sky-rocketing hydro bills and Wynne hasn’t tabled legislation or even a credible plan to save us money.

Yet, she’s spending more of people’s hard-earned dollars on ads claiming the problem is solved. In truth, it’s all about Kathleen Wynne and her party, and not at all about making life more affordable for real people and real families who have been suffering day after day and month after month.

You can see for yourself that New Democrats have stepped up to the plate by releasing a plan which realistically addresses this cataclysmic situation the successive Conservative and Liberal governments have created. Our plan will cut all hydro bills by as much as 30 per cent. It will even reduce hydro costs to our hospitals thus allowing them to redirect that money to where it should be going - to the front lines where care is needed.

Our plan will enable us to reverse the selloff of Hydro One and put it back into public hands as well as a number of immediate relief measures – such as eliminating time-of-use billing – and permanent fixes to the system.

As for Patrick Brown and his Conservatives…. We don’t know what their plan is yet. But we do know that privatization is part of the Conservative’s DNA. For further information and to compare the plans that each party is offering, try out our new webpage at ontariondp.ca/compare theplans.

Legion News A big thank you to all members and volunteers who made St. Patrick's Day such a success! We hope to see all those who enjoyed the evening at our next event. A special thank you to the Good Timers who were outstanding again.

In April we will remember the battle of Vimy 100 years ago and the many Canadian young men who paid the price for winning this battle. In 1945 our WW2 veterans started to get ready and cross the Rhine to bring a end to this terrible event.

In our town of Warnsveld we had the horror of a V1 flying bomb crashing and exploding on a row of houses, killing many and wounding more. This is still remembered every year there.

The liberation was near and hope was high. On April 2nd, 1945 I finally could shake the hand of my first Canadian soldier after spending a few days in the cellar and listening to the battle raging outside.

At the Branch we are getting ready to elect a new slate of officers and executive committee so on our next membership meeting April 13th, there will be nominations taken.

Cribbage scores were 1st Lody & Louis, 2nd Joe & Erin, 3rd Alma & Sandra, boobs Carol & Joan, 24 hand was Joe, 50/50 draw was Carol,and Meat Spin went to the other Carol.

Johnnie is now in French immersion were the teacher was teaching the layout of the school en Francais.

She asked Johnnie, “Ou peu je trouver la toilette?"

Johnnie answered, "Pourqois?

Moi je ne l'ai pas cacher!!!"

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.

Nick Veldt.

Students returned last week after a break from classes and are right back into the swing of things! The LEAD class served up a great pancake lunch with a side of fruit and bacon. This week’s menu is chicken tacos for the cost of $4.00.

Last Friday, a group of students traveled to Searchmont for the annual ski trip. It was great to have a bit of extra snow for their trip.

Students have been preparing for the grade ten Ontario Secondary School Literacy

test (OSSLT) which is coming up tomorrow. The class schedule is a little different with extended morning classes and shortened afternoon classes to accommodate the test. We will end the week with a professional development day for teachers on Friday, the 31st.

Early identification reports were sent home to give a heads up to parents about students that may be struggling or need a bit of extra time and/or effort in their courses.

If you have any questions or

concerns about your child's progress, please contact the school (705-856-4464).

Grade nine students are half way through the art and music courses. All grade nine students are in both music and art: half of the group is in music while the other half is in art class. These students will switch classes at midterm (about the middle of April). This combination of the arts program allows more options in the arts for students when entering grade ten as they have the prerequisites for continuing on in those subject areas. Here at MHS, we realize the importance of the arts and are aiming to maintain them in our course selection for students wishing to continue in this area of study.

Coming up next week, we have twelve MHS students who will be playing badminton in the NSSSAA semifinals here in Wawa. Good luck to all of our players!

The next parent council meeting will be April 4th.

Quelle belle expérience pour les élèves de l’École secondaire catholique SaintJoseph de Wawa! Simon Bouffard, Éric BélangerRacette, Abiquel Jones et Kassandra Kenny, des élèves de la 11e année, accompagnés par Mme Annette Lytwenko, ont voyagé à Ottawa. Ce voyage éducatif de trois jours a été planifié par le CSCNO en partenariat avec La Cité collégiale d’Ottawa.

Mme Lytwenko et les élèves ont quitté Wawa tôt le mardi du 21 février, afin de prendre leur envolée du Sault Ste. Marie à Toronto et par la suite, une envolée à Ottawa.

Pour certains, ceci était une première expérience. Une fois arrivés à Ottawa, les élèves ont eu l’occasion de découvrir la ville d’Ottawa : les queues de castor au marché Byward, les centaines de magasins au Centre Rideau, les édifices du Parlement du Canada, ainsi que la maison du Premier Ministre, Justin Trudeau et celle du Gouverneur Général,

David Johnston, sur la rue Sussex.

Le lendemain matin à 8h30, le « 36 heures à la Cité » a débuté. Il y avait environ 80 élèves de nombreuses écoles secondaires du Conseil scolaire catholique du NouvelOntario. L’objectif de ce voyage avait pour but de donner l’occasion aux élèves du conseil de vivre une expérience collégiale de trente-six heures, ainsi que d’explorer divers domaines d’études qui les intéressent. Les élèves ont choisi un atelier parmi les quinze offerts, afin de leur permettre de vivre une expérience d’apprentissage complémentaire à leur curriculum du secondaire, d’explorer des domaines d’études de leur choix et de donner un avantgoût des études postsecondaire à La Cité.

Le jeudi, 23 février, nous avons fait l’envolée d’Ottawa au Sault Ste. Marie en soirée où M. Davidson, conducteur d’autobus nous attendait afin de nous reconduire à Wawa.

Lors de cette partie du voyage, les élèves ont partagé plusieurs moments ainsi que des évènements qui nous ont fait rigoler tout au long de notre séjour à Ottawa.

Selon Mme Lytwenko, « Les élèves n’ont pas seulement représenté notre école avec fierté, se sont bien amusés, ont vécu plusieurs nouvelles expérience de vie, mais ont aussi réalisé qu’il y a tout un autre monde qui les attend après le secondaire. Je n’aurais aucune hésitation d’amener de nouveau ce groupe d’élèves avec moi en voyage ».

École Saint-Joseph Algoma Power Helps Wawa Build

A New Goose And A Bright Future

Nouvelle identité pour les Ours de l’école St-Joseph (Dubreuilville) L’école St-Joseph de Dubreuilville a dévoilé tout récemment son nouveau logo/mascotte lors du Carnaval scolaire. Une activité de levée de fonds (Drive for Your School), organisée par Northern Lights Ford, a permis à l’école de faire l’achat de nouveaux chandails de hockey ainsi que de nouveaux uniformes de sports/ activités socioculturelles. Les élèves de l’école, maintenant mieux connus comme les OURS de Dubreuilville, afficheront leurs couleurs avec fierté dès leur prochaine compétition de Robotique qui aura lieu à Sudbury le 26 avril prochain.

La direction d’école,

l’équipe-école et le C.E.C remercient vivement Northern Lights Ford de Wawa pour leur dévouement envers les enfants de la communauté de Dubreuilville. « Après avoir consulté l’équipe-école, les élèves et les parents de la communauté, il a été déterminé qu’une nouvelle identité, authentique à la culture de Dubreuilville, était primordiale à l’esprit de l’école. De plus, je crois fortement que la fierté de l’identité scolaire contribuera à un meilleur estime de soi chez l’enfant ainsi qu’à son engagement académique, » explique la direction d’école Michel Lavergne.

The Municipality of Wawa (“Municipality”) is pleased to announce a partnership with Algoma Power Inc. (“Algoma Power”) and its parent company FortisOntario Inc. (“FortisOntario”). Algoma Power, as a long-time community partner in Wawa, recognizes the importance of preserving an iconic Canadian monument, the Wawa Goose, especially now that Canada marks its sesquicentennial.

To that end, Algoma Power is committing to a multi-year donation totalling $40,000 for the replacement and maintenance of the Wawa Goose.

This endowment will be comprised of an initial contribution for the installation of the new Goose, followed by annual contributions through 2021 for ongoing maintenance requirements.

“We look forward to the unveiling of the new Wawa Goose monument during the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday! It is truly an honour and privilege to be able to pledge our support for this project and to work with the Municipality of Wawa on sustaining a significant piece of Algoma’s history,” says Jennifer Rose, Regional Manager Algoma Power Inc. The Municipality has initiated a maintenance fund where all additional public donations will be placed; this maintenance fund will ensure that the Wawa Goose will remain cared for and will look its best into the future.

The town’s name, Wawa, originates from the Ojibway

word “wawagonk” meaning Wild Goose and the Wawa Goose has long been a symbol of its identity. The Wawa Goose was first created to attract travellers off the newly constructed Trans-Canada Highway, remaining the main purpose of the historic monument. As one of the most photographed landmarks in North America, it has been a fundamental stop for many cross-Canada tours. More than just an attraction for tourists, the Wawa Goose Monument has become representative of Wawa itself – an icon instantly recognizable on the world stage.

Ron Rody, Mayor of Wawa, stated, “On behalf of Citizens and Staff of the Municipality of Wawa we would like to sincerely thank Algoma Power for this generous donation.

Their show of community support for the icon of Wawa, and their recognition of the importance that the Wawa Goose holds for the benefit of the community is greatly appreciated. With this donation to the Wawa Goose, our valued community partner, Algoma Power is helping to ensure that Wawa remains a strong and vibrant community for years to come.”

Further information will be announced shortly with regard to the final fundraising campaign to renew the Wawa Goose.

With Jim White

Spring And The Missing Mayor Mystery

Professor John Grey from Mystery Stories Clubs of Canada, here this Wednesday, March 29/17 with another case for the Springford Club, who are meeting tonight. This is a mystery that started in winter but came to a resolution in spring, actually just a week ago Monday.

Yahoo! March 20th, 2017, and it's the official first day of Spring – at least on the calendar. It is also the time when winter “sheds it's coat” to reveal what dirty secrets it has been hiding. In this town of Springford it has revealed a horrific one.

It all began in March when the mayor, 'Buddy' Melton, had disappeared mysteriously. He was supposed to attend the usual monthly Tuesday council meeting on March 7th, but he never showed up for the 7:00 p.m. start.

The town CEO, Oliver Lafleur, called his house a few minutes before then to see if he was on his way. His wife, Lily, told him that she had not seen him since he left for the town hall that morning. She reminded him that usually on council meeting days he never came home for lunch, as she always made him a thermos of soup and a sandwich, which he would eat at his office. Then he would usually eat supper out at his favourite restaurant, 'The Tulip Garden', which was just a block away. She assumed that is what he had done this particular day. She suggested that he likely was still there, maybe running late from leaving his office a bit later than usual, or maybe talking with a constituent that had lasted longer than expected.

He thanked her, and hung up.

He called the restaurant and was told that he had not been there that day. He then went to the mayor's office to see if he was working, and had just lost track of the time. The lights were still on, and there were papers scattered all over his desk. He was always amazed how he found anything.

But he had his own system, Oliver had to admit. Any time he had gone in to ask for a letter, or a file, whatever, he was always able to pull it out, like a rabbit out of a hat. So this time he thought nothing of the messy desk.

He didn't notice the small wall safe door was slightly ajar. Mayor Melton had installed it during his first term to keep personal and confidential papers pertaining to town business. Very few people knew about this safe. Those in the know were the installers, Oliver, and his secretary.

He had been mayor for 12 years, and was very popular with the staff, council, and the townsfolk. Most agreed he was a bit eccentric, but was a kind person, who always had the interest of the town in mind.

One item of contention, though, that had pitted him against the other members of council recently had been his adamant support for building a new museum. All the others thought this was a colossal waste of money, since the current museum was housed in the for-

mer public school. The museum staff had done a fantastic job of organizing each room with historical documents and furniture, making it look like an old turn of the century house, of which a few still existed in the wealthy west end. The school building was of that age too, so it was the perfect arrangement. However, visitors were few and far between. That made a major monetary drain on the town coffers, in order to keep it open.

The origins of the museum began several years ago when the school board had it closed due to low enrollment. When the museum board requested the building be turned over to them, Buddy voted for it. The council members of the day voted against it.

But he had friends on the school board, who exerted pressure on the council members to overturn their previous no vote, especially when the school board had agreed to donate it to the town for a dollar, with the stipulation it be turned into the museum.

There was outrage at the time, but it went through. It created quite the tension at City Hall for a while. The political fallout of not accepting the generous offer from the school board would be too much to handle right then.

But in most cases, he was able to reach a consensus on any issue before council, without any bad feelings left to fester. Once the museum was up and running, it became a success story, and during the first couple of years it made a profit, so no funds were required from the town.

But then attendance fell off, and new acquisitions became expensive, especially some old paintings from the estate of one of its' wealthy arts patrons.

Right now there was an opportunity to access Provincial funding for cultural facilities. He wanted to pursue it. He explained at the February council meeting that there was a prime location just off Main Street at 'Springer Chevrolet Motors'. They were going to be moving to their new location out on the highway by May of this year. He was friends with the President, and had managed to make a great deal on being able to buy that property.

He also pointed out that all museums now had climate controlled rooms. That would now be essential for displaying the old paintings and furniture the museum now had, and would be looking to acquire in the future. It would be too expensive to renovate the old school, Buddy reminded council.

A brand new modern building would the best way to accommodate the new dynamics of a modern museum, and would be more likely to attract visiting exhibits from other bigger museums or art galleries. It would also be the perfect time to move the Public Library into the same building, as the current building was also nearing it's end of viability.

Despite his persuasive pitch, Council members were opposed, as matching funds were a stipulation. It would cost the town

big bucks, which in this time of economic slowdown they felt was just too expensive to commit to.

But a final vote was postponed until this March meeting. The deadline to submit a request was the 10th, so Buddy knew he had to get it through that night, since there was only one council meeting a month. He felt sure he had the votes finally to get it passed.

Oliver left his office, and went back to the chambers. He asked if they wanted to postpone the meeting or go ahead. They felt the need to give him the courtesy to wait for a while, but if he did not show up, to go on. As he never showed up, the meeting went ahead, and his motion was defeated.

Later, alarm bells went off when he didn't return home that night. Lily called around to everyone she could think of, asking if they had seen him or knew where he was. He never went out of town without letting her know.

He rarely stayed away over night.

One of the neighbours said she saw him driving his old gray Chev Impala out at the outskirts of town, apparently heading for the main highway. That was about ten a.m. She spent a restless night worrying.

The next morning when there was no word from him, she called the police chief, Bill Crocus. He immediately put his top detective on the case. That Wednesday, Detective Don Winters went to the mayor's office first, after making some phone calls. He was accompanied by Oliver. After scanning the office from the doorway, he noticed three things right away. One was the disheveled desk. Oliver assured him that was how it always looked.

Next he noted the wall safe being open a crack. Oliver told him he never noticed it last night when he was there looking for the mayor. Thirdly he noticed several drops of blood on the tancoloured carpet along the side of the desk. He told Oliver not to go in, as this was now a potential crime scene.

He quickly retreated and rushed off to his office, just two doors down from Buddy's.

Detective Winters went into the mayor's office for a closer look.

He checked the blood stains first.

The droplets seemed to be either going or coming from the small bathroom located just beside the entrance. They lead to the sink.

He wasn't sure what that meant.

Next he checked out the safe.

There were several files and a cash drawer inside. He noted that he must ask Oliver what might be missing from it. Then he went to the desk, and shuffled the mess of papers, seeing if there was any clues there. Finally he flipped through his daily calendar book laying beside the phone. The page was still open to Tuesday, March 7th, the day of the council meeting. There was a cryptic entry on the 9:00 a.m. line, "see JB. Bring pkg." Winters flipped back a few days, and then ahead in the calendar to see if there were any other clues. Most intriguing were several doodles on each day from February 23rd to the 29th. It seemed to be drawings of building designs.

Some of them showed windows and doors, like an outside facade.

Others appeared to be like blueprints, showing doorways, room layouts, etc. He thought it looked like an architect's plan.

He showed this to Oliver. He frowned, and commented that it looked like he was already anticipating the green light for that museum that had just been voted down last night. He didn't know who JB was.

Once the forensic team had secured the office, Winters left and saw Mrs. Melton. She was distraught at the possibility of foul play. He tried to get some sense of what might have happened, from her perspective. He got a few leads. They turned out to go nowhere though. He had hit a brick wall.

On Monday, March 20th, coincidentally the first day of spring, I got a call from Chief Crocus. He knew that I was coming up for this Club meeting tonight since his wife was a member, so he asked me to come up a few days early to help out.

I began by reviewing all the info Detective Winters had gathered so far. After looking at the photos of the blood trail in his office, I went there and looked it over myself. It was still cordoned off. I came to the conclusion that he must have cut his finger on the letter opener. Actually it was an old hunting knife with a sharp edge. I was surprised that it was still on the desk, and not part of the forensic files. He likely rushed into the bathroom to stop the bleeding. I concluded there was nothing suspicious with the blood – a 'red' herring. I accidentally moved one particular letter on his desk as I put the knife down. Underneath was a yellow sticky note. Somehow it had gotten stuck to the back of the letter, and nobody had noticed it before. It read, "John Butler," with a phone number underneath. I dialed it, and a woman answered, identifying the business as an architect firm. I asked to speak to Mr. Butler. He explained the reason the mayor had met with him. He was planning to build an addition to his camp on Hyacinth Lake this spring. He had met with him on March 7th at 9:00 a.m. The package included the lot measurements, soil sample assays, and photos of the camp and the grounds around it. That was likely what was in the safe at his office, and I expect he just forgot to close it before he left. Mr. Butler then added that Melton told him that he was going to the lake for a quick check to make sure the heavy snow that had recently fallen had not collapsed the roof, before going to the council meeting that evening.

This was a very productive lead. Too bad Mrs. Melton hadn't mentioned about the neighbour seeing him out near the highway.

He obviously headed north to his camp. I wondered why no one had bothered to check the possibility that he might be there; but then sometimes in investigations, something so crucial can slip through the cracks. I don't blame Mrs. Melton. In her distress, I am sure she just assumed he was on a business trip for the town, and not going to their camp. Neither can I blame Detective Winters for missing that bit of news that I had just learned. I called him, asking for him and a couple of guys to accompany me out to the camp, just to check it out.

The snow had melted quite noticeably over the last couple of days, and the ground was bare in many spots. It was a rough drive along the soft dirt road past

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

the row of camps on the lake.

We finally got to the turn into his camp,which was the last one in the row, and decided to walk in, rather than risk getting our vehicle stuck. My shoes were not the proper footwear to have been wearing. The mud made a mess of them. Me feet got wet too. To make matters worse, it was a cold, cloudy day. It got even more unpleasant as we found the first ominous clue, which was finding the car near the building.

We approached the back of the building. We noticed was that the porch door was open. There was still a drift of snow just inside the porch. I began to fear the worst.

It looked like he had been here, and likely gone inside, with the intention of just staying momentarily. The two other helpers continued to check around the building. Detective Winters went into the porch, and checked the door.

It was unlocked. We were both just on the verge of going inside when a frantic call brought us both outside, and around to the front. We saw the ladder first, laying on the ground. Beside it was a shovel. And underneath the ladder was a body – yes, it was Mr. Melton. The melted snow had exposed the accident. It was obvious that he had decided to clean the snow off the roof, and he lost his balance, falling backwards, dragging the ladder and a pile of snow from the roof with him. He likely dropped the shovel in an attempt to keep his balance. Fresh snow since then had completely buried him, until now. Whether he had died from the fall, or laid there injured, until he either suffocated from the snow on top of him, or first froze to death, an autopsy would determine that. It is agreed that there was no foul play - no mystery – just an unfortunate accident.

Suspicious connections with the museum issue, like the dealings with 'Springer Motors' President, or with profiteering from the architect's likely awarding of the design contract, were laid to rest.

There was no murder conspiracy to stop Melton from getting his way this time. As in all towns, gossip raged with those sorts of rumours. Folks had to wait for another time to get that gossip rumour mill activated again.

Good news. The newly appointed acting mayor, Marchetti Legrassi, held a special council meeting last night.

It was agreed that the museum will go ahead, and would be named in Buddy's honour. Since the chance for government funding had lapsed for 2017, it was announced that a campaign will be started to raise the money from other sources. By the fall they hope to have enough to begin the project. It won't be enough to finish the project, but the council was assured by their local MPP that money would be earmarked in the provincial budget for 2018.

Too bad it took Buddy's death to make it happen, but in the end he got his way again!

And so it was that winter finally revealed it's deadly secret for this year; and so it is that spring begins with this black cloud of death over the town of Springford. But surely brighter days are ahead!?

5 Fast Shortcuts To Make Your Home Sparkle This Spring (BPT) - We all know that one person who just adores cleaning. But for the rest of us, it's a necessary evil that gets old very quickly!

Before you tackle that long list of spring cleaning tasks, try some of these cleaning hacks designed to make these chores faster and easier. When cleaning is fun and even effortless, you'll feel more energized and gain the momentum you need to knock out your list of chores.

Afterward, your house will sparkle from top to bottom, which is its own reward!

1. Find smarter tools Throw out the messy bucket and mop and reach for a smarter floor solution that's efficient and fun to use.

For example, the O-Cedar EasyWring Spin Mop & Bucket System has a built-in wringer that offers superior moisture control of the mop, which makes it safe and easy to use on all hard floor surfaces - even hardwood! The hands-free wringer requires a simple press of the foot pedal to easily spin out the water and help finish the job with less mess and faster drying times.

2. Try natural solutions Commercial cleaning solutions can add extra costs to your deep cleaning session, not to mention the harsh chemicals can leave behind unpleasant odors. Why not experiment with everyday pantry items? These often

cost less and are just as effective in their cleaning power.

A simple solution of warm water and vinegar removes built-up grime from your floors, while leaving a clean, rinse-free finish. Just add a half cup of distilled white vinegar to a gallon of warm water and start mopping.

If you dislike the smell of vinegar, add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil - the fresh scent will be like a small reward!

3. Shortcut to shining windows If you want streak-free mirrors and clean windows without the hassle, Cas Aarssen, author of "Real Life Organizing: Cleaning and Clutter-Free in 15 Minutes

STR8TS

Dust can collect on those high, hard-to-reach places, such as decorative molding and ceiling fans, making cleaning day more difficult. To clean your ceiling fan without showering dust bunnies everywhere, an old pillowcase is your best tool.

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.

IN MEMORIAM NOWISKI, Alexander 1925 - 1988 In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away.

Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping, So peacefully free from pain.

We could not wish you back dad, To suffer that again.

Love always your wife, Isabella, and your children: Mary Lesperance, Joanne Fell, Phil Nowiski, and Anne Marie McGrath.

BOUDREAU, Roly In loving memory of a dear brother-in-law, Roly, who passed away two years ago in 2015.

We all miss you and love you, xoxo Sue & Bill, Richard & Betty, Coco & Bert, Michel & Sue, Ron & Kathy.

What Is A Yellow Fish Road™?

Did you know that the storm drain basins along Broadway Avenue and the streets that lead to the Wawa Lake Beach send rain water and other materials collected during storms and snow melt directly into Wawa Lake untreated? This means that garbage, cigarettes, fertilizers and other pollutions enter our drinking water supply without any filtration which could affect the quality of our drinking water. It also results in litter forming along the beachfront and storm drain pollution can also harm fish and wildlife.

In partnership with the Municipality of Wawa and The Ontario Trillium Foundation, Economic Development Wawa is launching a Yellow

Fish Road™ program, to raise local awareness around this issue.

The Yellow Fish Road™ Program was created by Trout Unlimited Canada and is a fun and exciting way to remind local residents that these storm drains are for rainwater only. Youth volunteers will paint “yellow fish” symbols with the words “Rainwater Only‟ beside storm drains and distribute fish-shaped brochures to nearby households. These activities remind people to properly use and safely dispose of hazardous household chemicals, cigarette butts and other garbage rather than allowing these to enter storm drains and our lakes.

All Wawa Youth are invited to help build awareness
