28th Annual Wawa Ice Fishing Derby

1st Prize on Manitouwik: Terry Shewfelt with a 16.3lb Pike

2nd & 3rd Prize winners on Manitouwik: Clyde Smith & Robert Moss Article by Barb Fisher, Photos by Kari Smith Friday night kicked off another great response to this our 28th annual Ice Fishing Derby offering over $140,000 in cash and prizes, and the Community Centre was elbow room only. With 1,334 tickets sold it looked like every participant from our entire region and beyond was gathered to see if they were one of the lucky winners of this night's random Sponsor Donated Prizes drawn from registrants in the

derby. It was a bonus prize give-away extravaganza with an impressive range in higher priced items of chainsaws, ice auger, generator, fishing aids, paraphanalia and gismels, to smaller prizes but with still a thrill to hear your name drawn.

Saturday morning I admit to missing the furor of machines headed out to their favourite fishing hole as my article perculated in my dreams, but I was ready to kick into action Saturday night when, according to the leader board, I missed much action out on the ice. At the prescribed time, everyone pulled their lines and headed out to the eateries in town to spend their meal voucher and prepare for the next prize drawing event of the weekend. Back at the arena the momentum gathered initiating much chatter and bragging rights while inspecting the wonderful array of top prizes to be awarded to the successful anglers. But wait, there was much more cash to be given out: 5 prizes of $1,000 cash in the Early Bird prizes, and confirming the reputation of a first class event, winners were among the many out-of-towners participating. The lucky winners were: Jason Prevost from SSM, Eric Rancourt from Val Caron, Cindy Leclair from Timmins, David Courchene from Heron Bay, and Eric Leonard from Wawa. The Returned Flag draw awarding a free registration for next year was won by Nick Kovac from Goulais, and a new addition to the prizes offered, the Tim Hortons Coffee for a Year went to Shane Wardrop.

Perhaps the most coveted prize, the registration award of $30,000 ticket was drawn

1st Prize on Hawk Lake: Debra Desrochers with a 8.02lb Pike

2nd & 3rd Prize winners on Hawk Lake: Melissa Pepper & Josh Murphy from the drum by our Rotary Club exchange student from Germany, Eric Schulz; another experience he can boast about in his Canadian memoirs.

And the lucky winner, drum roll please - Gino Buonomo from the Soo. The Country & Western Brad James Band from Hamilton sponsored by Tim Hortons topped off the evening for those who didn't have to rest up for the last fishing op on Sunday.

Sunday held the wrap-up celebration with the "big fish" winning prizes awarded. This

year followed last year's prize distribution with six identical prizes offered for the six heaviest fish, any species, being caught on each of the three derby lakes: Wawa, Hawk and Manitowik Lakes. Winners selected their prize preference from the prize pool with first place winner selecting first, etc. Prize pool to choose from: 450 Sportsman Polaris ATV

Congratulations everyone.

Our annual ice fishing derby is a very big deal for everyone in Wawa, besides the fisher-

men's thrill of landing the "big one" with huge prizes to be won, dollars generated are funnelled back into our community supporting many worthwhile causes and projects in town that benefit our children up to the aged. Much thanks is extended to the presenting sponsor Canadian Tire, Scott Popert and Anne Owen and their support team, prize sponsors, the dozens of corporate and individual supporters, all the anglers who donated their fish to the Food Bank, and again a huge nod to our volunteers, many that never get acknowledged, thank you so much.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Article Submitted by Thunder Bay District Health Unit March is Nutrition Month across Canada. This year’s theme is “Unlock the Potential of Food.” Registered Dietitians are regulated health professionals who are passionate about food and the many ways it can contribute to good health.

We want to encourage people to think about food and the potential it can have for them.

To help the public unlock the potential of food, local Registered Dietitians will be offering grocery store tours at several locations across the city during March. Participants will receive practical healthy eating tips while exploring the aisles looking for convenient,

nutritious and budget-friendly foods. There will also be a booth set up with recipes, information and an opportunity to speak with a dietitian.

During the month of March, a colouring contest will also be running, where local dietitians are encouraging people to Show Us Your Plate! The colouring contest aims to highlight meals based on the updated Canada’s Food Guide which people like to prepare or consume with their family or friends.

Aerobic Exercise Associated With Improved Cognitive Performance In Younger And Older Adults Article submitted by Erle Kirby This is a brief summary of a very recent article in the journal Neurology regarding the effect of exercise on the brain's function (cognitive performance) and also weight loss. The comment below the summary is from an editor of Journal Watch which provides these summaries to me.

The apolipoprotein E4 is a gene carried by a large number of persons who suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease. The report notes that exercise did not benefit those persons who carry this gene.

Aerobic exercise can improve cognition and increase cortical thickness in older adults. In this randomized, community-based clinical trial, researchers examined whether aerobic exercise can affect cognitive performance in younger adults. At baseline, 132 adults aged 20 to 67 (mean, about 40) were cognitively normal with belowaverage fitness. All participants were randomized into an aerobic exercise or a stretching/toning condition, exercising for 40 to 55 minutes four times a week for 6 months.

Outcomes included aerobic capacity (maximum oxygen uptake), cognitive performance, body-mass index (BMI), and cortical thickness. Aerobic exercise (but

not stretching and toning) was associated with increased aerobic capacity, decreased BMI, and increased left middle frontal cortical thickness.

Improvement in executive function was also seen in the aerobic exercise condition, especially with increasing age and in those without an apolipoprotein E ℇ4 allele.

Comment These findings provide further support that aerobic exercise can improve physical and cognitive outcomes. Aerobic exercise can be recommended as a strategy for brain health for both younger and older adults, and the benefit to executive functioning may be more robust with increasing age. The participants in the study were healthy overall, and improvements in executive functioning were not seen in those with the apolipoprotein E ℇ4 allele.

How risk factors such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension may modify these results requires more study.

Here is a link to the actual article for anyone who wishes to look more deeply into it: Stern Y et al. Effect of aerobic exercise on cognition in younger adults: A randomized clinical trial. Neurology 2019 Jan 30; 92:e905. ( h t t p s : / / d o i . o rg / 1 0 . 1 2 1 2 / WNL.0000000000007003) Erle

The Complaints: that's the name given to the Internal Affairs department who seek out dirty and compromised cops, the ones who've made deals with the devil. And sometimes The Complaints must travel.

A major inquiry into a neighboring police force sees Malcolm Fox and his colleagues cast adrift, unsure of territory, protocol, or who they can trust. An entire stationhouse looks to have been compromised, but as Fox digs deeper he finds the trail leads him back in time to the suicide of a prominent politician and activist. There are secrets buried in the past, and reputations on the line.

In his newest pulse-pounding thriller, Ian Rankin holds up a mirror to an age of fear and paranoia, and shows us

something of our own lives reflected there.

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.

better cope with stress. Natural sleep aids like valerian and melatonin help many women get the rest they need to function and stay in peak form.

Women in Their 50’s and 60’s This stage is where it all comes together! If you have been eating a balanced diet and managing stress and sleep, then the transition to menopause will be a lot smoother.

However, this is not the case for many women. Hormone levels are shifting and plummeting, and there are a host of new health concerns when a cycle ends. Some women experience hot flashes, bone and muscle loss, mood swings and even depression. It’s a good idea to keep up with yearly exams as well as adjust your multivitamin – you may not need as much iron now.

Other things to consider are regular cancer screening as well as cholesterol and blood pressure. Heart disease, especially for women, increases after the age of 55. Consider a good quality Omega-3 with high levels of EPA to manage inflammation and DHA to manage cognitive, heart, eye and emotional health.

Finally, Andrea stresses 3 key components for well being no matter the stage of life you’re in: diet, exercise and staying social. Everyone can benefit from eating plant-based foods, and healthy sources of fat like avocados, nuts and salmon.

Women’s Day is Just Around the Corner

The slogan and hashtag for International Women’s Day is #BalanceforBetter. Andrea Donsky, Holistic Nutritionist, weighs in on what’s needed to create balance in the world, and it starts with creating a healthy balance within ourselves.

Here are her top tips for achieving better health and balance at every stage of life.

Each are very unique and specific to women’s health: Women in Their 20’s This is the ideal time in a woman’s life to start edtablishing healthy eating habits.

Andrea recommends exploring more plant-based protein as the updated Canada’s Food Guide suggests. It’s also a good time to quit smoking, reduce alcohol consumption and to start taking multi-vitamins, especially if you are thinking of getting pregnant. If so, make sure you are taking 400-600 mcg of folic acid per day.

Women in Their 30’s This stage of life has women balancing career, busy schedules, and family. Some vitamins and minerals to consider, to prepare for and help with fetal development are: at least 400 mcg of folic acid per day.

Many pre-natal multi-vitamins contain 600 mcg. It’s a good idea to start upping your folic acid at least 3 months before conception. Getting a blood test is a good idea to ensure you’re meeting all you minimum requirements of folic acid, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and iodine. Consider taking an Omega-3 with high EPA & DHA levels for brain, heart and vision health (yours and the baby).

Women in Their 40’s Career, family demands and stress, are at an all-time high for many women, and relaxation and sleep are crucial for creating balanced health.

Many women experience perimenopause and can start to feel extremely tired, or experience irregular cycles. Some herbs that may help alleviate stress are passionflower and chamomile. Adaptogens like ashwaganda and rhodiola, can help boost energy and help you

Letters to the Editor...

Dear Editor, Whatever happened to Trudeau preaching a woman's voice must be heard and believed?

Jody Wilson Raybould is very well respected for her incredible honesty and a person who could not be bought in a political party to tow the party line. In fact, she should file a workplace harassment charge against the prime minister of Canada and the PMO's office.

Our feminist prime minister who states he is a champion of woman rights and the rights of minority woman is a complete fabrication as if he was a true champion of women's rights and of minority woman's rights he would not have treated Jody Wilson Raybould the way he did or allow the PMO's office to harras her to change her mind.

What we know is Trudeau and the PMO's office did not want Jody Wilson Raybould to fulfill her duties to the best of her ability and get SNC Lavalin a deal at any cost to get the liberal vote and keep the liberal vote in Quebec and then Trudeau states he was worried about jobs in Quebec but Trudeau does not seem to concern about saving jobs and getting jobs back in Western Canada in the oil fields as his liberal government is putting policies in place that a killing jobs in the west. Maybe Trudeau should start paying attention to all of Canada jobless people.

Jody Wilson Raybould political career as a liberal may be over because of her honesty and integrity and no one was going to force her to change her mind but then Justin once stated woman may perceive things differently than men.

Here is a direct quote from Justin Trudeau: "A woman who comes forward with complaints of sexual assault and harassment must be supported and believed," CBC had reported on Jan 31, 2018. So why does Justin Trudeau refuse to support and believe Jody Wilson Raybould.

Sir James Dunn Public School Newsflash

SJD Celebrates 100 Days Of School With Food Bank Donation

Article & photo by Barb Fisher For many years now Sir James Dunn's teacher extraordinaire Jennifer Chandor-Hall has been celebrating with her students the milestone of 100 days completed in the current school year by collecting at least 100 food items to stock the Food Bank shelves. The school has come up with this novel idea to help students envision the summer holidays which seem a long way off in the snowy days of this brutal winter. Mrs. Chandor-Hall has taught many different grades over the years and this year she encourages her grade 5/6 class

in sharing things they might take for granted with other families in the community that are not as fortunate as them.

I greeted the youngsters led by Mrs. Chandor-Hall and helpers at the Wawa Food Bank for a photo op, and after battling on foot through a cold blizzard from their school Sir James Dunn, the group arrived at the Food Bank pulling several heavily laden sleighs of non-perishable food goods that they had collected. The callenge was made by the 5/6 class to the other five classes ranging from JK/SK to grade 8 as to which class could collect the most items. An astounding

400 plus items were collected in total, and even though the grade 7 class collected the most items, the organization, preparation and heavy lifting was done by class 5/6ers.

Good job!

Through my news coverage of community events I recognized many of the kids from hockey, dance, figure skating and school events and thought how wonderful it is that they are growing up with such advantages, a sense of treating everyone as equals, and giving the less fortunate a leg-up.

Well done students and teachers at Sir James Dunn School!

May Contain Nuts - Why Science Isn’t Sexy Article by Jenelle McAuley As a dietitian, I sometimes find that I do not get to say anything groundbreaking or monumental.

I never get to tell clients that a particular diet will lead to a 10lbs weight loss in a month, or that a juice cleanse will melt away unwanted fat. And never do I promise someone that a detox tea is the answer to their unhappy bellies.

That’s because science isn’t sexy.

I follow an evidence-based practice- what that means is that if repeated scientific studies have not proven something, it’s unlikely I am promoting it. I also have a college ensuring I am not spouting unfounded claims or promising miracles in the form of tea. Most companies, most advertisements on tv, do not have the same college watching them. There is no governing body ensuring they practice within their scope of practice or color inside the lines. Their interest isn’t in public safety, but public profits.

Now, scientific studies are not perfect. Take perhaps the most controversial study result to date: vaccines cause autism. It has been proven time and time again that this is not the case, but such a statement is bold, it’s controversial, it gets people talking. The truth, the drawn-out scientific explanation, is boring, it doesn’t evoke the same passion or conviction as its unproven counterpart.

Science is slow moving. It takes years to complete clinical trials and in the nutritional science world, it is hard to control all possible variables. We cannot put human subjects in a lab and control everything that goes into their body. We cannot guarantee portion sizes or accuracy of food journals.

We cannot say with certainty

that putting in X always gives Y. What we can say is that for the most part when X is followed, Y is the result. And that is what health care professionals have been saying for years: a healthy lifestyle of physical activity and balanced eating leads to good overall health.

It isn’t sexy, but it is true.

Al Turcott, c. 1960 The 1960’s was a significant decade for Wawa. Not only was the final link of the TransCanada Highway completed, giving residents a way out of town other than by rail or air, but the town finally confirmed their identity. The Jamestown vs.

Wawa debate was finally over. A grueling twelve years of conflict and confusion had finally ended, with Wawa becoming the official name of the town.

As the highway was being completed, residents noted that the route bypassed the town by a mile. A number of business owners came to the conclusion that something was needed to redirect highway traffic into the community. Enter Al Turcott, Jerry Spreng, and Mel Phillips.

These three instrumental citizens were the masterminds behind Wawa’s iconic goose statue.

They presented the idea to the Government, who were skeptical at first but eventually agreed to erect the base and plaque. The goose itself would be the responsibility of the residents of Wawa.

Turcott is generally known as the creator of the Wawa Goose.

He contracted Mr. Koci to build the first goose after observing his work at the Dinosaur Park in Calgary. The first Wawa Goose was erected on September 17, 1960 during the official highway opening ceremonies.* The original goose lasted a mere three years as it was made of chicken wire and plaster and could not withstand the wind and weather coming from Lake Superior. A new goose was

erected in 1963. Constructed of steel made with iron ore from the Helen Mine, the goose was built

by Dick Vanderclift in Sault Ste. Marie with help from Algoma Steel. The original plaster goose still stands on the site of Young’s General Store on Mission Road.

The second steel goose stood strong from 1963 to 2017 and greeted thousands of visitors every year. Some travelers have been known to make a specific stop at the goose whenever they drive the scenic Trans-Canada route between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. Imagine the stories that goose would have if it could talk!

The completion of the highway was long overdue in the eyes of citizens of Wawa, given that it had been promised to them for almost 30 years. Once the 60 miles of highway between Montreal River and Wawa were completed, an estimated 4000 car loads of people came to Wawa to celebrate their new “road out”.

The highway opened a world of opportunity for Wawa and its unique tourism industry.

The Wawa are was known to be a frequent visiting spot in the 1960’s for world renowned pianist Glenn Gould. Mr. Gould would stay at the Wawa Motor Inn and frequently visited areas such as Scenic High Falls, Sandy Beach, Michipicoten Harbour and the shores of Lake Superior.

It has been said that Gould did some of his best composing while locking himself in room 102 and 125 of the Wawa Motor Inn. None of that would have been

possible if not for the completion of the Trans-Canada Highway from Wawa to Montreal River Harbour.

Another significant event for Wawa in the 1960’s was Canada’s Centennial Celebrations in 1967.

Wawa was one of the scheduled stops of the Centennial Voyageur Canoe Race. Each province was represented with a Voyageur Canoe Racing Team and they were all included in a parade down Broadway and canoe race on Wawa Lake.

In 1960, Algoma Ore Properties entered a new stage of development in their iron mining operations. The original Helen Mine ore body was depleted, and the operations began extracting ore deeper into the heart of the Helen Mountain. The new operations were now the George W. MacLeod Mine, named in honour of the former president of Algoma Ore Properties.

Adding to Wawa’s already rich mining history, prospector Tom Surlug’s gold claims were purchased and became the Surluga Gold Mine in 1962. The Surluga Gold Mine was a heavy producer between 1968 and 1969. Over thirty thousand tonnes of rock was removed from the mine and produced 2,300 ounces of silver and 9,000 ounces of gold in just two years.

In 1969 Al Turcott and his wife Agnes opened the doors to Fort Friendship. Turcott created the Fort on the banks of the Michipicoten River as an imitation of the former trading posts in the area. The Fort was located just upstream from the old Michipicoten Hudson’s Bay Company Post. Fort Friendship boasted a log palisade, a museum, a gift shop, wishing well, and a Tower of Prime Ministers. One of the more interesting buildings was the Church of Departed Spirits, made entirely of empty glass bottles. * Quote from Agnes Turcott, Land of the Big Goose.

This is the tenth chapter in “Wawa – 150 Years, 1867-2017” written by N. Dunham, and published by the Town of Wawa, Wawa EDC and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund. Copies can be purchased at the Wawa EDC office at 96 Broadway Avenue.

With Jim White

"The Resolutions" A Short Story Series Chapter 7

Getting Back to Henry & Alice – When we last checked in on them, Henry was in a real financial crisis with his bookie.

He needed a lot of money in a hurry. The Leafs had let him down, and now was costing him plenty. He was so sure they could have beaten the lowly Ottawa Senators. It was more than one pay cheque would cover, too. He was able to sell off some of his tools, and a couple of pieces of Alice's jewelry that he knew she would never miss. He was still short $400 though. He knew that he could ask Mark for some money, but not all of that. He would have to divvy it up into small amounts from several of his other buddies and a couple of the guys from work, but this would mean keeping track of who had loaned him how much. Too complicated for him. Besides, he would then have to pay them back. That would put him back in the hole again. And what if they asked what he needed it for – trying to remember all the excuses. Or worse still any or all of them blabbed to their wives/common-laws, etc, and it got back to Alice. Oh, boy!

No, he decided that would not work. So he came up with a desperation plan. He knew it was even riskier than asking for the money, but he was in a panic, and he could not think of any other way out.

On the Wednesday, the day before he had to make his 'payment', he went into Canadian Tire, and bought a black ski balaclava, and then into the drug store for some makeup.

Why? Oh, no what was he up to? Just wait and see, if you haven't already guessed! When he got home he took his coat and boots off at the front door, and called out to Alice. She called out that she was in the kitchen cooking supper, and it would be ready in about ten minutes. He called back that he was going to clean up and change out of his work clothes and would be down shortly to give her a hand. She called back a thanks. He quickly took the package with the perfume and balaclava out of his coat pocket, and dashed to the bedroom. He stashed them in his dresser drawer, covering them with his underwear.

When he went into the dining room for supper, he tried to joke with Alice, and act as if nothing was bothering him, even though he knew full well that this gambling debt had to be paid on Thursday. But she never brought the subject up, which he was grateful for. But they ate in silence for most of the meal. Finally the ice broke when she asked him if he wanted some ice cream for

dessert. He knew this was the moment to tell her that he had to go out after supper – and he was ready to say it, when she saved him the trouble.

“I am going out after supper. I am going over to Helen's place for a while. (Helen is a co-worker at the drug store, by the way) She wants some help baking a whole batch of cookies and squares. She is helping out the figure skating club who are having a bake sale this weekend. I should be home by 10 though. What are you going to do with yourself tonight?” she asked him.

Henry quickly replied, “Uh, oh, I am just going to stay put. I'll likely work on my skidoo for a while, and then watch some TV. It's a long day tomorrow, so want to just take it easy tonight.” As soon as he said it, he knew he had stepped on a land mine. Fortunately for him, it didn't go off. Alice never picked up – or at least never said – what that meant about Thursday being a long day, capped off with his 'payment' meeting with his bookie.

“Okay, sounds like a plan.”

She got the ice cream served, along with some cookies and coffee.

That ended the conversation. They ate their dessert and drank their coffee in silence.

After they were finished, they both got up at the same time, and headed in their own direction – she to the sink to do the dishes; he to the living room to watch the news.

Once the dishes were done, Alice went to the bathroom, and then the bedroom to change clothes. She came out after about ten minutes in her work clothes of a short sleeved shirt and jeans. She poked her head into the living room, and said she was leaving now.

Henry sighed, saying to himself thank goodness, but called out aloud, “Okay, hon, see you later. Don't eat all the inventory,” he chuckled to her. She retorted, “Yeah, sure. Don't worry. We'll have some wine on the side, to help us out.

And we'll have on aprons, so I won't get too messy, if you were thinking that. So you don't have to say it Henry.”

He replied, “Okay. Have fun.

See you later.” “Right you are.

Bye.” She headed out, closing the door behind her.

Henry quickly got up, and went to the living room window, to watch her as she walked up the street. He wanted to make sure she was gone, and which direction she was taking. He thought to himself then, “Okay, Henry, it's show time. I hope this works.” He rushed into the bedroom, and found the bag with his balaclava and makeup. He laid the cap on the bed, while he took

the makeup over to the dresser.

Then he went into Alice's closet, and selected an old dress that she had pushed to the back. He remembered that she had told him months ago that it no longer fitted her, and that she should clean out her closet and take all of it over to the Thrift Shop. So he hoped that she would not miss it. He took off his shirt, and pants, flinging them on his bed. Then he got a pair of pantyhose out of her dresser. He cursed all the time he struggled getting them on.

Then he struggled getting the dress on – a knee high floral cotton. It was a bit big for him, but with the tightening of the belt, he was able to hold it up.

When he went back to the dresser, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, standing in front of the mirror. Boy, I really do look like an old bag lady, but that's the effect I want, he commented to himself. Then he painted up his nails with the nail polish he had bought earlier that day, followed by bright red lipstick that blared out of the mouth of the balaclava. The final touch was to lavishly splash on the Chanel No. 5 perfume that he had also bought at the drug store.

He put it on the dress, and then on his neck and hands.

For good measure, he even sprinkled some on the pantyhose. He thought to himself, “ Perfect. That sure has a strong distinctive odor. The clerk will remember that smell. Gosh I hope it is not one of the girls I know that is on tonight. Well, I guess I am ready.”

He put on the balaclava, and took one last look in the mirror. He nodded in satisfaction at the look. It sure didn't look like himself, anyway. He took one deep breath, looked around the room, and then headed out. He went out to his work shop, and found his small package. He took out the contents, and looked them over to make sure it was ready. He put it in a plastic tote bag that they used for groceries. He put on his short summer jacket that he kept there. He was shivering already, but he wanted as much of the dress to show to help out what he was going to be doing.

He turned out the lights in the shop, and quickly dashed into his truck before anyone could see him.

He drove over to the Mac's convenience store, and parked the truck in the farthest spot he could find, keeping it running with the heater on. It was a cold night to be out in January with just that light jacket on. At least he had his winter boots on to keep his feet warm, he complimented himself. He waited until there was no in the store. He got out his package from the tote bag – a pistol. He had it ever since he was of age to own one. He adjusted his balaclava over his face, to make sure he was covered. He thought, “Man, this is hot and itchy, but I'll just need it for a moment, so I can put up with it.” He took one deep breath, and uttered: “Okay, here goes. Please, God, let this work. He got out of his truck, and rushed into the store. This

was about 9:30 p.m.

“This is a holdup! Open that till, and give me all your money. Now!” He realized his voice was trembling, and he noticed his hand shaking too.

The clerk was dumbfounded.

She didn't react at all at first, until Henry started waving the pistol at her. She pleaded with him not to hurt her, shaking as she struggled to get the cash out as she opened the till, and began putting the money into his bag. Henry was relieved to see it was not one of the clerks he knew. When it was done, he thanked her for her co-operation, grabbed a bag of chips and put them into the now 'money bag', and headed towards the door. Just as he was about to open it, the door swung away from him, and in walked Alice. He was still holding the pistol in his right hand. As a reflex reaction, he pulled the trigger, and shot her in the arm. He pushed her inside the store, as he made his exit. On adrenaline, he quickly got in the truck, and sped away. He drove around town for a long while, trying to calm himself down, and realize what had just happened. Was that really Alice? If so, what was she doing at the store right then? What do I do now?

He finally decided to take one quick drive by the store, and then get home, in case she phoned, or the hospital did.

He hoped he hadn't killed her - surely it was just her arm I hit. As he drove by there was no commotion yet – at least no cops, but he wondered if the ambulance had maybe taken her to the hospital already. So he got home fast. He put his pistol and balaclava away in the shop. Then he went into the house, and got out of her clothes. He stuffed the perfumed dress and pantyhose into a garbage bag, and took it out to the garbage can in the garage. He hung up his jacket on the hook just inside the door. Once he took a look around, he dashed inside, and immediately took a hot shower to warm up and to try to get that perfume smell off him, and the nail polish and lipstick. He got back into his own clothes, and took a deep breath as he took a look in the mirror to make sure he looked like himself again, and then sat on the bed, and counted out his loot. He was delighted and relieved that he was able to get $525. With what he was

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

going to have to take out of his pay cheque tomorrow, he was actually going to have a few extra dollars to spare. He hid that away in the tote bag and stashed it in the back of the closet. Once he was satisfied that everything looked okay in the bedroom, he went into the living room, poured himself a stiff drink of whiskey to calm himself while he waited. To help take his mined off this mess, he turned on the TV. As if an omen of what was going to happen, the first thing that popped up was CTV News Network, with breaking news about an armed robbery at a convenience store in Sudbury, where a customer was shot as she entered the store. She was reported to have minor gunshot wounds, and was expected to make a full recovery.

The clerk was unharmed. The robber was described as being a female in her twenties, it was guessed. She was wearing a jean jacket and skirt, and had on a black balaclava that covered her face, as seen on the store video camera.

Henry swore, and turned sick to his stomach. Oh, God, I never thought about a camera at the store, he moaned to himself. All of this made him a nervous wreck. He began to pace around the house, as he couldn't settle down to watch more TV or anything else. He tried to come up with a plausible story of his evening at home, hoping to cover all the angles.

Now all he had to do was wait for Alice.....

Last Week's Answers

Wednesday, March 6th, 2019

Aries (Mar. 21 - April 20) If you are not already, think about going into business for yourself. Luck is with you.

Include friends and family members in your redecorating plans. Sooner or later your partner will have had enough.

Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 21) Any contributions you make to organizations will enhance your reputation and bring you offers. Unexpected visitors are likely. Be prepared to do your chores early. Social activity should be on your agenda this week. Taking on too much won't help the situation.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21) Health problems may prevail if you don't take care of them immediately. Get back down to earth and to basics.

You may not be able to help, but your support will be favorable. Do not force your opinions on others the connections will be short lived.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You can change your living arrangements. Older family members may try to make demands that are impossible for you to handle. You can evade the issue as usual by being affectionate, fun loving, and far too active for your lover to catch on. You may be overly emotional when dealing with your mate.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) Use your obvious talent to work with detail and you can

Page 9

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES come up with something great.

You can bet that someone in a higher position is watching to see how busy you are. Sign up for courses that will help you understand yourself better. You will have a tendency to exaggerate, which will lead to major confrontations with loved ones.

Your passionate mood will be well received by your mate.

Your greatest enjoyment will come through social activities and pleasure trips. You will have problems with coworkers if you are too extreme about doing things perfectly.

Family trips or projects should be on your mind.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) You could be tempted to overspend on unnecessary items. Your irritability will lead to family squabbles.

Uncertainties are still prevailing. Group endeavors will provide you with entertainment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Your partner may be somewhat irritable this week. They will not be in the right frame of mind to put up with tactless comments. A romantic infatuation from your past may surface if you frequent places that you both used to go. Avoid functions that will bring you in contact with those you find difficult to get along with.

Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Family may not want to get involved but an entrepreneur will. Social events may lead to a romantic interlude. Your personal life will be under the gun and you may want to avoid the questions your lover is going to want to ask you.

False information is likely if you listen to idle chatter or gossip.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Be careful that you aren't saddled with the responsibilities of others. You are best to avoid confrontations. Much knowledge can be obtained through the experiences you have. Invite friends over rather than spending money on lavish entertainment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21)

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Try to slow down, and take another look. An older member of the family may need assistance. You will have to be careful not to let others find out about your intentions. You can avoid hassles by sticking to your work and refusing to get involved in gossip or idle chatter.

Pisces (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) You could find yourself left with someone's dirty laundry. A residential move may be in order. Problems with your boss could lead to unemployment. Don't hesitate to voice your opinions at a group meeting; however, keep your thoughts to yourself at home.

Doubles Mixed Curling Comes To Wawa Article by Andy Stevens Perhaps you first saw it on television during the last Winter Olympics – Doubles Mixed Curling first became an Olympic venue during the PyeongChang 2018 Games.

Canadians Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris brought home the Gold Medals.

The Wawa Curling Club decided to have a Fun Curling evening (February 27th) and give this new sport a try. The games were 6 ends and lasted (1) hour.

Each team consists of two (2) players and the curling is fast paced and both players are kept busy shooting and sweeping. Each team gets five (5) rocks – and two (2) rocks are pre-placed before the end starts. See Figure No 1 The first games started at 6:30 and the second Round at 7:45. There were Draws for prizes after each event. It was a fun evening and the consensus was the event should be repeated.

Thank you to the Wawa Curling Club, the Staff at the Community Centre who were so supportive and helpful, and especially to all the curlers who came out to make the

Thursday Night - Mixed

Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing International Women’s Day Meant To Challenge Assumptions Every year on March 8th we celebrate International Women’s Day which has its roots in the suffragette movement at the turn of the 20th century, but continues to remind us that despite many victories, there is still a lot of work to do. This year the theme of IWD is, about building a gender-balanced world where women are represented in equal proportion to men in every aspect of life, whether we are talking about women in leadership positions, in government, or even sports. To give women equal status helps ensure continued economic and social growth in Canada and around the world.

What is important to consider is that creating equal opportunities has nothing to do with the oppression of men. On the contrary, men play a key role in the promotion of genderbalance by helping to build inclusive organizations. This also goes to show that genderbalance is no longer a goal that can only be worked towards by women alone. Consider how we now expect businesses and governments to include gender-balance as a priority and not some general goal. As we make progress, there are more examples of how stereotypes and biases against women in high-profile positions and traditional gender roles are being

questioned and broken-down.

Although Canada has committed to promote the participation of women in politics, a recent article in L`Actualité reveals that we do not have the appropriate mechanism in place to monitor how certain policies impact men and women working for the government. This leads us to the question, how can we ensure that the different governmental organizations positively contribute to gender-balance? By enforcing existent programs that have been loosely implemented in the past and by continuing the dialogue around gender parity and the representation of women.

An example of the work that parliament can undertake to tackle inequality in our institutions was provided this week when New Democrats called for a fair and universal employment insurance program that does not discriminate against women. The reason it’s needed is because Employment Insurance eligibility criteria are flawed and sexist.

They don’t take into consideration the fact that women are more likely to experience precarious employment which makes them ineligible for Employment Insurance. That helps explain how fifty percent of men are eligible for the program as compared to only

thirty percent of women and offers a clear example of bias that must be addressed.

Despite raising awareness about and discussing genderbased issues, we must also strive for concrete implementation of the solutions we arrive at. That is why national and international women`s organizations and monitoring is so essential. They help us ensure we meet our goals, such as a true 50/50 parliament in Canada. Although this current federal parliament has the highest percentage of women in its history, we should resist the temptation of patting ourselves on the back and recognize that we can do even better and become true leaders for gender-balance in politics.

These are just a few reasons why it is important to mark International Women`s day. It allows us to celebrate the progress women have made and the increasing visibility that women`s rights receive along with the voice it gives to those who were once marginalized.

There is wide-spread support for equality in Canada, but the road towards that is not always even or predictable. By celebrating International Women’s Day, we recommit ourselves to the principles of equity and justice and remind ourselves of the challenges we need to address – together.
