Wawa Green Days Welcome Spring!

Article & photo by Barb Fisher Earth Day, April 22 is celebrated worldwide whereby innovative minds find simple, everyday actions in making our planet greener for everyone. And now that we can see a little brown poking through the white, our EDC and Municipality of Wawa are once again busy presenting "Green Days" with information seminars demonstrating ideas put into action in propelling us into the future.

The first event I attend-

ed was presented by the eager students of Ecole Publique L'Escalade. Even though their numbers are few, the students have come up with some big ideas in recycling and avoiding the use of plastic. Scarlett, a junior kindergarten student very proudly showed off her new to her, pink dress that she had thoughtfully exchanged with one of her own dresses that she was ready to part with. There were many tables covered in used clothing ready for exchange, and a miscel-

laneous table with a variety of items that could be new to someone else. The students enjoy the sewing classes offered as part of their school curriculum and the older gals were busy revamping clothing articles, to make old new again. I was particularly interested in the demo illustrating how one can make container covers that can replace the use of plastic film wrap.

The kids demonstrated that by taking a square of clean, cotton fabric, grating beeswax and applying organic oil and then ironing it so it melts into the fabric, the resulting cloth piece can be used as plastic food wrap.

By proudly showcasing their ideas these youngsters are nurturing progressive thinking in the next generation. We are in good hands, indeed!

In keeping with the Green Project initiatives, Jessie Labonte, Green Project Coordinator with the EDC offered a Composting Workshop to demonstrate how you can reduce your trash and generate a free, rich soil conditioner. Guest speaker Don McGorman from Clean North joined with Jessie and offered everything you need to know about outside and inside composting of food scraps, gardening clippings and organic material to reduce the amount of trash going into our landfill. In the composting process microorganisms that you can't see such as bacteria and

fungi, and macroorganisms you can see, earth worms and other insects consume and break down the waste material. The carbon dioxide released in a backyard compost is significantly less harmful to the environment than the methane produced by organics in a landfill, and when the compost is spread on the garden, your flowers and veggies will thank you for it. Indoor composting using worms is easy to maintain, odour free, takes up very little space, and can be carried out all year long without the inconvenience of going outside. The composting process is done by red worms which eat onehalf their body weight in food waste organisms every day. Worms do not eat the vegetable matter but feed on the bacteria that breaks down the matter. It was a very educating evening confirming that composting is a simple way of reducing our waste and in doing so we can feel satisfaction in saving our planet.

Wood Heat Rebate Program is up and running. Wawa is one of the first recipients of the newly created pilot grant program, Green Ont Fund which offers generous incentives in rebates to households switching from old, low-efficiency woodstoves and fossil fuel heating systems with modern wood heating appliances.

Wawa's EDC is delivering the Wawa Wood Heat Rebate Program to encourage residents to switch from propane and fuel oil to wood heating systems. The Program benefits include reducing local greenhouse gas emissions and air contaminants, reducing home heating costs and encouraging growth of local business activity related to renewable energy. ...Article Continued on Page 2

ect is the development of a wetland and eight adjoining bioswales to create a unique storm water treatment system preserving our drinking water for generations to come. Replacing the storm water outfalls along the beach will help reduce the amount of pollution entering Wawa Lake and bioswales will create a natural filter of potential pollutants before reaching the lake.

The Boreal Forest makes up one-third of the world's forests and Wawa is positioned at the gateway into the Boreal Forest home to a myriad of flora and fauna that make use of its ecosystems. The Wawa Boreal Eco-Walk will celebrate the uniqueness of the Forest and Wawa's role within it.

This will be done through educational signage and artwork in English, French and Ojibway as well as living plants to educate residents and tourists about the role of the forest for this region of the world. As well, elements along the ecowalk will encourage tourism visitations by the use of animal totems and themed art pieces commissioned and included along the EcoWalk to highlight the flora and fauna of the forest.

Plans are also included to replace the aging playground equipment at the waterfront with a forest themed, accessible playground structure.

Located at the far end of Broadway Ave at Heritage Park, a business market consisting of 10 stalls for local artisans to setup a weekend market will be coordinated by the EDC. This "Goose Nest" will provide another downtown core attraction to boost foot traffic as well as creating the business link between the downtown and the waterfront.

This project is based on a number of collaborative partnerships from a variety of organizations in Wawa as well as private business and funding agencies. The Project has an estimated cost of $1.9 million dollars of which almost 90% of funding has been secured from the provincial and federal governments, and many other generous donors. All partners have been working diligently for some time now to bring this project on stream and are aiming for a construction start-up date as soon as this summer.

Exciting times ahead for our community!

Service Scams - ‘Need Help With That Repair?’

Information compiled by Beverly Boyd, Wawa and Area Victim Services using information found on Ontario’s Consumer Protection website.

The article today may be about something that isn’t really a scam, but high pressure sale tactics could put you in a situation that you don’t really want to be in. Now that winter is over it is time that we think about replacing the roof, or the siding, or perhaps the windows in our house.

And there are usually quite a number of companies, that are quite legitimate, going around selling their services door-to-door. Do you need a new roof? – don’t let the salesman tell you that you do – get a knowledgeable friend or relative that you trust to help you in making that decision. Summer is here and maybe a new air conditioner is in order – don’t let a door to door salesmen pressure you into purchasing one.

Unless things get really hot here in Wawa you likely don’t need one.

When you open your door to a salesperson, keep them on the step – don’t invite them in. And if you decide you don’t want to talk any-

more ask them to leave, then go inside and close the door.

Under the law, they must leave. If they don’t, call the police.

Ontario has passed legislation to protect you from high pressure tactics so know your rights. The Consumer Protection Act gives you special rights when you buy something in your home that costs more than $ 50.00. You have a right to cancel a contract for any reason within a 10-day cooling-off period.

For water heater contracts there is a 20-day cooling offperiod. You must be given a written contact and this contract has to include specific information about the goods or service and your rights as a consumer. If it doesn’t you can cancel the contract within one (1) year of signing.

To protect yourself when you open your door to a salesperson ( and remember, if you don’t want to open your door, you don’t have to!) ask for photo ID, their name and the name of the business. Does the company name on the salespersons business card match the name on the vehicle, the promotional material and the proposed contract.

NEVER give them personal information – your latest power bill, for example or again, any credit card or bank account details!

Make sure you know and understand the details of a contract. Ask for a day or two to review any contract before signing it. Get assistance from someone you know and trust. Make sure there isn’t an automatic renewal clause.

Know how and when to get out of the contract and if there are any fees associated with the cancellation.

Local utility companies, municipalities, government agencies or regulatory organizations do not send salespeople door-to-door.

If this is the summer you decide to replace your windows, make sure that it is a good experience. There are reputable businesses out there – make sure you are using one of them.

In the meantime, if you have concerns that you or someone you know may be being scammed contact the OPP or Wawa and Area Victim Services.

"The Liar" - Shelby Foxworth lost her husband.

Then she lost her illusions.

The man who took her from Tennessee to the most exclusive suburb of Philadelphia, fathered her child and bathed her in luxury, was not what he seemed. As Shelby is shocked to learn after Richard Foxworth drowns in the Atlantic Ocean, he's left her in crippling debt. He had a vasectomy without telling her. He was an adulterer and liar, as fake as the diamond he put on her finger. And when she tracks down his safedeposit box, she finds cash, a gun-and multiple IDs with Richard's picture and other men's names.

The man she loved isn't just dead. He never really existed.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

Battle Of The Atlantic

to touch North American shores.

German U-boats, which were the scourge of the allied maritime fleet, travelled in groups known as ‘wolf packs’ and wreaked havoc on coastal shipping from the Caribbean to Halifax. They even entered into battle in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The battle was costly and thousands of ships were lost by 1943 when the tide turned for the allied forces. By that time, Britain had cracked the German enigma code which had allowed them to communicate freely throughout the war. It was also when long range aircraft were introduced which allowed for better coverage as the convoys crossed the Atlantic. Before those planes, the stretch of ocean outside the range of air support had become known as the ‘Black Pit,’ where the majority of German attacks took place. At the same time, Canada’s navy added new, faster, and more powerful frigates, formed its own hunter groups and sank 8 U boats between November 1943 and the spring of 1945.

A significant part of Canada’s contribution came from our Merchant Navy who were conscripted two weeks before Canada actually declared War. During the war more than 70 Canadian merchant vessels were lost and the death toll was significant with over 1,600 merchant sailors killed. After the war ended, the Merchant Navy was maintained until 1950 when it was disbanded. Although their contribution was critical to Canada’s war efforts, it took until 1992 for merchant mariners to begin receiving disability pensions, allowances, health care, and to be granted official veteran status.

The Battle of the Atlantic is a perfect example of how taxing and difficult it was for the Allied Forces to prevail in the war. On May 6th, many commemorative ceremonies are held across the country to remember and honour the historic contributions of our naval forces. It is a fitting tribute for a battle that helped shape the world we live in today and one we should memorialize with pride and humility.

Michael Mantha MPP One of the privileges of being an MPP is the many invitations I receive to attend festivals, special events, grand openings and program or funding announcements.

Since Algoma-Manitoulin covers such a vast territory, there is no shortage of such opportunities.

Recently I was in Wikwemikong for the Indigenous Agriculture Gathering for Earth Day. I was pleased to join the community in announcing a $75,000 seed grant for Wikwemikong’s Foodshare Program on behalf of the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Foodshare is an outstanding initiative which is designed to encourage and assist community members to begin growing their own food locally.

The idea of sustainable “live on the land” programs is that communities take on the responsibility of caring for themselves and others.

And it is really catching on.

I have attended several such announcements and grand openings this year. Helping people to be self sufficient and help others sends powerful and empowering messages.

This philosophy of caring for one another is a cornerstone of the NDP. For example, just this week Andrea Horwath focused on pushing the Liberals to adopt her Private Member’s Bill, the Time to Care Act. This bill successfully passed second reading this week and will be sent on to committee for review.

The bill had been previously introduced but died when Wynne recklessly prorogued the Legislature. Andrea reintroduced the bill, saying that those in care shouldn't have to wait for the election after which our party will follow through on this.

The Time to Care Act will begin to undo the years of damage that the Liberals and Conservatives have done to the province’s long-term

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.

News From The Park

Carol Hughes, M.P.

For good reasons Canadians are mindful of celebrations for Remembrance Day and our role at Vimy Ridge, but there were many other defining moments in our military past that we celebrate as well. One of those is the Battle of the Atlantic, which is marked every year on the first weekend of May. That is when we remember those who served in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), and the Canadian Merchant Navy during the longest battle of the Second World War. The battle was fought to protect key shipping routes between North America and Europe which were vital to the war effort.

It began with early skirmishes in September of 1939, lasted until the final action in May of 1945.

The fighting only took hours to start once Britain declared war on Germany with a German submarine attacking the passenger ship SS Athenia, which was on its way to Montréal. After that, the RCN spent the war escorting large Merchant Navy convoys that carried supplies between Canada and the United Kingdom.

It is widely regarded as the RCN’s defining moment, and many historians consider the Battle of the Atlantic as a key to the ultimate Allied Forces victory.

The war also led to increased output from shipyards. When the war began Canada only had 38 ocean-going merchant vessels.

By the time it was over the merchant fleet had swollen to more than 400 cargo ships that had been built in Canada. Canada’s navy also increased production to meet the need created by the Battle of the Atlantic. When fighting began, Canada only had six destroyers and about 3,500 personnel, a full third of those were reservists. But Canada quickly began beefing up our navy, commissioning dozens of smaller warships known as corvettes. The ships were light and inexpensive to build. Armed only by a single gun and depth charges, the corvettes were a key piece of our contribution to convoy duties.

Although Japan did invade the Alaskan Aleutian Islands during the Second World War, the Battle of the Atlantic was the only battle

la manipulation des tableaux.

Les résultats ont été fantastiques!

Commentaires de Mme Annette Lytwenko : « Lorsque les élèves ont exécuté leur peinture, ils ont pu vivre les bienfaits et les plaisirs qu’apporte l’art dans leur vie! »

Le lundi 9 avril, les élèves de 7/8e année de l’École Saint-Joseph (Wawa) ont eu la chance de participer à un atelier de science de ScienceNord par video-conférence!

Les élèves ont discutés des différents types de machines simples et ont ensuite créés leur propre Vis d’Archimede, un type de machine simple qui peut faciliter le travail requis pour bouger des objets. Ils ont ensuite écris une nouvelle connaissance acquise qu’ils ont appris sur une feuille « post-it » pour afficher au babillard de science.

On Monday April 9th, students in grades 7/8 at École Saint-Joseph (Wawa) had the opportunity to participate in a science activity put on

by Science-North through a video conference call!

Students discussed different types of simple machines and then created their own Archimedes Screw, a type of simple machine that facilitates the work needed to move objects. They then were asked to write on a “post-it” note one new thing that they learned during the activity to put up on the science display board in class.

An Ode To Spring & A Farewell To Winter, 2018

Legion News

Good bye cold April and welcome warmer Month of May! We once again lost 2 Friends of the Legion Mary Morin who was a WW2 Veteran and Margaret Magi who was a long time member and Past President. The Wawa Branch 429 will remember them.

With May approaching we again think back to WW2 and the many young Canadians who sacrifized all to make this a better world.

I can still remember walking from our house around the corner and looking at the 2 graves of Canadian soldiers

and the 4 graves between the Beechnut trees of the teenage German boys who had to face the well trained Canadians.

And I will never forget the moment of being FREE. So let us remember on May 5th, May 8th and also June 6th for the D Day operations.

At the Branch we are planning more fund raisers and the outlook for the Lift For The Legion is still ongoing.

To all Comrades sick at home, in the hospital or nursing homes you are in our thoughts of prayers and we wish you well.

Let's cheer that spring is here – At least the calendar says it is so; And I want to make this perfectly clear I sure do want this winter to go!

But sooner or later the trees and plants will start to grow; The ice on the lakes will surely melt away at last, To return to their watery way, as in the past; And rivers will start to flow, As the winter snow does go.

Yes, no more blizzards, no more cold, Longer days will finally take hold.

The birds will start to sing as they arrive at last And cheerfully bring that springtime blast That song of joy that says don't fear: ''I am back to visit you for another year; And that I am here again to stay, Singing to you every single day - 'Til finally the summer is past, And I have raised my family at last.''

But we all know that though the snow must go, It will be slow, because it must show That it will not go without a fight.

And it will try with all its' might To win the battle, at least for now, To have the inevitable delayed somehow,

For even as its' cover does get thin, It knows that spring will finally win, And its' reign will soon be doneBut knowing it has had a real good run!

Now don't get me wrongSooner or later I will long To see the winter come once more, As it comes knocking on my door.

But I need a lot more time to go by Before I will again be ready to say hi!

So for now it is time to cheer on this new spring, With all the warmth and growth it can bring, And really encourage it to quickly come forth, And see that winter at last retreats back north!

HELLO SPRING! GOODBYE WINTER Jim White

With Jim White

A Snow Melt Mysterious Discovery

The snow has begun to melt away finally. It's surprising what it uncovers sometimes. It usually is dirty. In this case, it certainly was to Vaughn Spencer and his girlfriend Sylvia Pritchard, on this evening of April 15th, 2014 as they strolled through Palisade Park in the downtown area of the small town of Springville.

It had been a real sunny warm day, and the snow had melted away quite a bit. It had cooled off by the evening as they were going for their stroll after supper. They both worked all day, and after a full meal, they agreed that they needed some fresh air, and at least a walk, in order to work off that big meal.

The wind had picked up, and by the time they approached the park, it had clouded up and threatened more snow.

They agreed that they had not dressed up in warm enough clothing, and they were getting chilled.

They decided to take a short cut through the park over to Wilson Street. They was only two blocks away from their apartment then.

The path meandered throughout the park. It had been laid out that way to follow the natural terrain, dodging around huge maple, oak and elm trees that dotted the park. It was getting soft and muddy that evening, but still with patches of snow. There were a couple of park benches placed along the path. Often they would sit on them – at least in the nice weather. Tonight was not one of them. As they approached the one bench, Vaughn noticed a dark mound just behind it. It was a dark brown colour. It stood out though, with snow still laying around the immediate area. His first inclination was that it was just a mound of dirt. But as they got closer, he realized it was a dark brown coat.

They stopped at the bench, and stared at it.

Sylvia said, “Oh, no. It's a body.

What'll we do?” He replied, “We better check closer just to be sure.”

She tugged on his jacket sleeve to hold him back. “What if it is a person? Maybe he or she was murdered. If you touch it, you would be tampering with a murder scene, besides getting your fingerprints on the coat. You could end up being the prime suspect. I don't want to see you get tangled up in anything like that.”

Vaughn laughed. “You have been watching too much TV, Syl. No, I'll just take a quick peek underneath to see what is there. Besides, I have my gloves on. No fingerprints, right.”

She nodded hesitantly, and was not amused by his feeble attempt at a joke. She looked around nervously, to check if anybody else was around.

Meanwhile he went over, and tried to lift what indeed was a long twill jacket. But it was still frozen to whatever was underneath. He used his gloves to wipe away the rest of the snow that was covering the mound. Then he yanked a bit harder, and finally got it separated. He gasped as he saw the head of a man . His face was covered in blood. He had thin gray hair. As he pried the coat back further, despite Sylvia's protestations, he saw that he was a husky guy, with what appeared to be a good beer belly. He was wearing a long sleeved shirt, and dark gray pants. He guessed he must be in his eighties. He opened up the jacket, looking for ID. Sylvia pleaded with him to leave

and let someone else worry about this. He was dead already, and there was nothing they could do, she tried to reason with him. But his curiosity was aroused now.

He told her, “Cool it. I just want to see if he has a name. Just give me a sec, and then we can go.” She replied, “Well, hurry up.

This is morbid, and I am freezing cold.” She stood beside the bench, stomping her feet, trying to keep warm. She stuffed her hands in her jacket pocket.

He began checking the pockets of his shirt, pants and coat. He commented as he did this that the body must have been covered up with the snow most of the winter, and just became exposed now that the snow was melting away. In the one coat pocket, he found a letter.

That was all. There was no ID or wallet. He gasped in surprise as he read the address on the envelope.

It was addressed to him. He stood up, and moved over to the bench.

He sat down, oblivious to the cold.

All his attention was on this letter.

There was no post mark, just his name and address.

He turned to Sylvia, and stated, “Look, this letter is addressed to me. Weird, eh.” He began to open it. She called out, “Don't! We should report this, and let them open it up. You are tampering with evidence now. Stop it.” She tried to clutch his arm, but he pulled away from her. He retorted, “No, I have the right to open it up, since it is addressed to me.” He took his gloves off, and gently pried it open.

He read it to himself. Then he turned to her, still standing in front of him, stomping her feet to try to keep warm.

“Listen. It's amazing. It's from my Uncle Cyrus. I never met him, but I heard my father talking about him often over the years. He was a prospector out west. He had a rough start, but finally hit pay dirt, with a huge find of gold up in the Yukon Territories. This was in the early forties. He became a rich man. He moved to the States.

From what I understand from my father, he lost his fortune down there. That was in the fifties. After that, my father lost contact with him. But now here he is, in the flesh, albeit dead flesh. But listen to this letter...”

He began reading it out loud to her: “ It's dated February 14, 2014.

To my nephew Vaughn: It is time that we finally met. I am sorry to hear of your father's death two years ago. He was a great brother to me. Of course like the rest of the family, he thought I was nuts to go prospecting as I was so young and foolish. But it paid off. I made my fortune. I was happy, even when I lost it. That's life, my boy. My life is coming to an end, and you are the only family I have left now. I have a gift for you. It is a certificate for 10,000 shares in the gold company, Golden Resources Inc. They bought me out all that time ago.

I had totally forgot about it until I got a letter from the company asking if I wanted to activate the now dormant certificate, or cash it in. That's when I thought of you, my dear Vaughn. I kept it in a safe deposit box up in Whitehorse. It is worth a couple million dollars now. I got a lawyer up there to get the paperwork in order, so as to have it signed over to you.. I am on my way back from Whitehorse now to finalize the switch. I don't want to give any more information here in this letter. There are others trying to get their hands on

it too. I am just getting ready to leave Whitehorse after I finish my lunch. I think I am being followed.

I was going to drop this in the mail, but I can't find a box nearby, and I have to keep moving. I'll try to mail it later. I will meet you on or about February 22nd, if everything works out. Until then...”

Vaughn paused. Then he went on. “Intriguing, isn't it. Who was following him? Did they finally catch up to him here?” He paused again, and sighed.

Sylvia moved over to him and gave him a hug. He looked so sad and forlorn. She thought how bizarre that they should meet like this – dead in a park so close to where he lived.

She brought him out of his reverie as she declared, “We have got to report this now, for sure. The authorities can help to figure it all out. C'mon, let's go.” He didn't argue. He put the letter in his pocket, covered him up again, leaving him as they found him, and headed home.

They called the police. They agreed to meet each other at the park in fifteen minutes. They all arrived at the same time. To Vaughn's dismay, his uncle's body wasn't there. He frantically looked around, thinking this wasn't the right spot. He suggested that because it was nearly dark, maybe he was wrong. But Sylvia assured him that it was the right location.

They assured the investigators that it was not a prank. She suggested that maybe someone else had called it in, and his body had already been taken to the morgue.

That seemed plausible, she suggested. The others agreed, except for the short time frame. It had only been about an hour.

But it soon became clear that this had not happened. The body had just vanished into thin air. The investigators told them to go home, and let them know if they heard anything further. They advised them that they would leave the case open for now.

As soon as they got home, Vaughn took out the letter and read it again. He didn't know whether to cry as he thought about the family connections, or be angry that he had died, either by natural causes, or murdered and left out in the cold behind a park bench.

Sylvia offered what sympathy she could. They began talking, trying to figure it all out.

The next day they began to try to solve the mystery. They started by trying to track down the lawyer that had done the paperwork up in Whitehorse. They had no luck finding him. They tried all the banks to see which one had this safety deposit box, but without the number, they wouldn't release any information at all, including even if he was a client. Everywhere they turned was a dead end. Even worse for Vaughn was they never found the body of his Uncle Cyrus from out in the Yukon Territories.

So what started out as a quiet walk turned into an unsolved mystery that will haunt them for years.

Until... No, it's not right. I shouldn't tease you, the reader, or them like this. I know where his uncle is buried. No again, that is not even true. That body they found in the park was not really his Uncle at all. It was a con man who had killed the real Uncle Cyrus near Whitehorse. That was my father, Albert Whistler. As many things in life, a chance encounter can lead to unexpected places or events. That is what happened here. My father sat next to this Cyrus guy at the bar one evening in late November of 2013. They started chatting. Cyrus was already getting drunk, and began divulging personal things about him and his financial situation. Being a good con man, he

latched onto the good possibility of a mark here. Cyrus got into a gabby mood, and that was when my father learned of this fortune in Canada up in the Yukon. He knew he had hit the jackpot. He got himself invited to his room for a 'night cap'. Once there, my father was able to coax more details about his wealth in Canada. Cyrus soon blabbed all the details. He learned that Cyrus was on his way to pick up that certificate in Whitehorse, Yukon, and then head to deliver that certificate to Vaughn in Springville. He had been working in Los Angeles, and was working his way there now.

My father came up with a plan.

He would follow Cyrus from a distance as he drove up to Whitehorse, and make sure the certificate was legitimate and that Cyrus had it in his possession. Then he would kill him and then get back to Vaughn's place. Once Vaughn had the certificate legally certified in his name, he would kill him too, and impersonate him. My father had been in the 'theatre' , well the opening act for the main show at Red Flamingo Casino & Resort Inc.. He was a master of disguises, so he knew how to make himself look younger or older, depending on which person he was impersonating. The final step would be cashing in that certificate. Then with all that money deposited in a Swiss back account, it would be nothing but the high life. He could disappear in some far away place – maybe Australia, he mused.

The plan was moving along perfectly. He 'accidentally' ran into him in a restaurant in Whitehorse.

Cyrus was surprised at the encounter, and a bit suspicious about it being 'accidental'. He quickly moved to pay his bill and get away from him. My father caught up to him on a deserted stretch of the highway south of town, and forced him off the road.. He ran over to the car, and shot Cyrus through the driver side window. Then he hauled him out of the car and put him in the trunk. He took his coat off him, and wore it himself since it had all of his ID and a roll of cash that he could use for 'traveling expenses'. Besides it was too nice a coat to leave behind. One last thing before he left was to push the car over the edge of a keep ravine. He knew that would not be found for a long time, if ever, in this desolate country. The way it rolled sideways down the slope helped cover it up. Being a white car helped too, and with the winter setting in, he knew it would soon be covered in snow.

He got to Springville in mid January. He began trying to track down this Vaughn guy. A clerk on Wilson Street advised him that he was about 3 blocks away but warned him the road was blocked for snow plowing and would not be open again until the next day. He suggested taking the path through the park across the street. The address he was looking for was just near the other end. He assured him it was always kept open for pedestrians and residents. My father thanked him for the info and took the advice.

Unfortunately that was where his luck ran out. He was about half way through when he encountered this gang. They beat him to death.

They were scared off before they could pat him down.. That was thanks to me as that was when I happened to come along. You see, I was following him. I had been assigned to this job by this crime boss/owner of that casino that I work for back in Las Vegas, to make sure the plan worked out, and he was able to collect on the money. My father had quite a gambling debt owed to these boss.

He wanted to make sure he got the

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

money, so they in turn could get their money.

Well, just after I scared off the thugs, I heard some other people coming along the trail. He was laying right on the plowed path. I knew that I had to get him off that path. So I hurriedly dragged him behind the bench, and threw some snow over him. I took off, planning to come back later. Well, it was dark by then.

I was not able to get back there all during the next day. There was just too much activity along the path that day, thanks to it being such a nice day. But then the area got a major dump of snow, and the park was closed for the rest of the winter. Roads were the priority, so the path through the park was left alone.

I was only able to get back to the park that April.. While waiting from February to April to get back in, I spent a lot of time checking out Vaughn, learning all I could about his movements, his job, his history, etc. The day I was just about to haul him away was when that Vaughn and Sylvia came along, which is where this story began.

Of course by that time, the snow had melted off his coat, it was easy enough for them to notice the body. But what are the odds that of all the people in the world, it would actually be Vaughn that would find the body.

Once they left to report the death, I was finally able to remove him from the scene. Just before I began hauling him away, I took a quick check of his coat to see if I could find the certificate. But all I could find was the letter addressed to Vaughn. I didn't want to waste any more time just then, in case they or anybody else might come along.

So under cover of the looming dusk, I got him to the edge of the park where my car was parked.

He weighed a ton, and it was a real struggle to get him into the trunk.

I kept nervously looking around to make sure no one saw me and what I was doing. I kept him hidden until the time came to give him a proper burial. I won't say where. I can't take the chance of him ever being found. I just know that he will rest in peace where he is buried....

Thankfully now that I am I got back to Las Vegas, my boss has forgiven my father's debt after I explained what happened, and why I was away so long. Thankfully he didn't pass on his debt for me to pay off. I never did find that gold certificate that was going to make my father rich. Did Vaughn find it? Had my father stashed it somewhere else? Well, anyway, it appears no one will be getting rich.

I just hope Vaughn and Sylvia back there in Canada can move on.

I am pretty sure that I have tied up all the loose ends. I just wish that I had that letter back that Cyrus had written to Vaughn and never got mailed. That is my only regret, and slight worry....Jude Whistler, April 19, 2014.. Just now as I write this, I had a brainwave. Maybe my father had kept it for safekeeping in his car – or more likely in his suitcase in his motel room.. After all, he would not be able to finish up his business with Vaughn in one day, I now realized. And where was his car? How could I have been so stupid not to follow up on that. It must have been parked near the park, but I never saw it anywhere.

Hmmm. I think that I gotta go back to Canada to that little town of Springville and find his car and motel. Then I had a sick feeling – what if that certificate was back in the Yukon in Cyrus's car....Maybe all is not lost yet! ...

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Ontario Supporting Water Is The New Fire: Flood Sawmill In White River Preparedness Tips For Canadians Province Partnering With Local Business To Create And Maintain 176 Highly Skilled Jobs In White River Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Ontario is supporting White River Forest Products to upgrade and modernize its sawmill in White River, helping to create and maintain 176 highly skilled jobs and boost economic growth.

White River Forest Products sawmill has brought good jobs to the community -- not only those at the sawmill itself, but local spinoff jobs in transportation, forestry and retail. White River Forest Products operates in partnership with Pic Mobert First Nation. Today, approximately 25 per cent of the mill's employees are from the First Nation community.

Through funding from Ontario's Jobs and Prosperity Fund, the company will be able to increase production by 30 per cent and support new product development in this competitive sector. This will increase production capacity and boost competitiveness while ensuring resources are managed sustainably. The project will maintain 161 existing jobs and create 15 new positions at the mill in White River.

Ontario is continuing its support for the forestry sector to help the industry boost innovation, increase production capacity, increase competitiveness and expand into new markets, while ensuring resources are managed sustainably.

Supporting the forestry industry is part of Ontario's plan to create fairness and opportunity during this period of rapid economic change. The plan includes a higher minimum wage and better working conditions, free tuition for hundreds of thousands of students, easier access to affordable child care, and free prescription drugs for everyone under 25 through the biggest expansion of medicare in a generation.

Quick Facts Ontario is investing $1.9 million over four years in White River Forest Products’ infrastructure project as part of the province’s Jobs and Prosperity Fund.

• By generating over $15.3 billion in revenues and supporting approximately 172,000 direct and indirect jobs, the forestry sector is a significant industry in roughly 260 communities across the province.
