Baby Chicks At SJD

It sure is hard to wait and watch four little eggs for 21 days when you are 5 and 6 years old, but in the end the wait is worth it.

The Kindergarten class at Sir James Dunn had an opportunity to have 3 baby chicks come to visit their classroom in February. It was so much fun holding these cute little fuzzy chicks that they decided that they should try and incubate their own.

Braiden and his family brought in 4 eggs and we sat patiently waiting and watching as the incubator turned the eggs 6 times a day. On the 20th day Mrs. Bernath noticed that two of the eggs had little holes in them. When we came back to school the next morning there were two adorable baby chicks running around the incubator.

Over the last three weeks Licorice and Lemonade have grown so much. They love

to perch on the post that Mr. Bernath made for them, they love to run around our room and of course they love to eat.

A big thank-you to the Hughes family for donating the eggs and helping us learn how to raise baby chicks.

Who knows what our next adventure will be, but we sure

know that SJD is the place to be!

Past Governments Are To Blame For Continuous Road Closures : NDP’s Mantha Past governments are to blame for continuous road closures : NDP’s Mantha Elliot Lake - Michael Mantha, the Ontario NDP candidate for Algoma-Manitoulin, issued the following statement after Hwy 631 was closed between White River and Hornepayne due to a culvert collapse.

“My team has been in contact with the Ministry of Transportation and will continue to monitor the situation throughout the day. They anticipate the highway to be open to one lane tomorrow and two lanes fully reopened by next Wednesday.

Previous similar incidents have resulted in the closure of our northern highways including the TransCanada. It is unacceptable that this kind of situation happens as often as it does in a province like Ontario. It reflects poorly on past Conservative and Liberal governments that have been

negligent in maintaining the safety our main roads.

Since alternative routes are not readily available in the North, road closures on main highways in this region can result in considerable damage to our economy.

Businesses and individuals depend on reliable highways to move goods, access essential services, get to school, access medical care or simply get to work.

It is my hope that when a new government is elected on June 7th it make it a priority to address this recurring issue that causes considerable hardship for our region.

Regardless of whoever forms government, I will continue to bring concerns from Algoma-Manitoulin to Queen’s Park and ensure that our roads are properly maintained.”

NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF TERMS OF REFERENCE AND INVITATION TO COMMUNITY INFORMATION CENTRE Lake Superior Link Project – Hydro One Networks Inc. Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) is initiating an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Environmental Assessment Act for the proposed Lake Superior Link project. The Independent Electricity System Operator’s (IESO) Updated Assessment of the Need for the East-West Tie Expansion, 2017 states that a new transmission line “…continues to be the recommended alternative to maintaining a reliable and cost-effective supply of electricity in Northwestern Ontario for the long term.” The EA will consider two route alternatives for a new 400 km, double-circuit 230 kilovolt transmission line between Lakehead Transformer Station (TS) near Thunder Bay and Wawa TS near Wawa, as shown on the map.

The reference route generally parallels Hydro One’s existing East-West Tie transmission corridor with the exception of a new section of corridor near Dorion and a section through Pukaskwa National Park where existing infrastructure would be modified. The reference route alternative generally parallels Hydro One’s existing East-West Tie transmission corridor with the exception of a new corridor section near Dorion and a section that traverses around Pukaskwa National Park.

In March 2018, Hydro One hosted public information drop-ins along the project route to provide initial opportunities for stakeholders to learn more about the Lake Superior Link project, meet the project team and provide feedback. Hydro One is aware of the extensive consultation already completed on the reference route alternative and will make best efforts to streamline consultation and studies whenever possible.

The Planning Process This EA will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The first step is the preparation of a Terms of Reference (ToR) which will set out the framework and work plan for addressing Environmental Assessment Act requirements when preparing the EA, including an outline of the studies and consultation activities that will be undertaken. Important elements of this work will be to evaluate the reference route and reference route alternative, assess potential effects and determine measures to reduce or mitigate these effects.

Wawa Goose Seniors Club News: Goose Droppings “Victoria Day”, May 24Th Weekend, the opening of pickerel season ….. Here comes summer!!

We did have a meeting of the general membership of the Wawa Goose Seniors’ Club on May 9th. We thank Michael Allemano for the knowledge and written materials he brought to us on the topic on incorporation, a very good beginning for considerations to be undertaken before too long. Decision time will probably come with a new executive to be sworn in at the September meeting.

In the meantime we have hamburger meat pie orders to fill. Help to peel and brown and measure, stir and cool both crusts and fillings on Monday, May 28th.

Then we need the big crew of holy rollers, fillers, crimpers, baggers, taggers and stashers to get the actual pies into the freezer on Tuesday, May 29th. If you can help out we would begin at 9:00 a.m. and love to see you at the Drop In. We usually get things done early afternoon. And if you have not yet ordered we will take your

order but cannot guarantee to get late orders filled.

We also have a Nomination Committee getting a fix on possible candidates for the four positions open on the executive. If they have overlooked you for some reason unknown, feel free to call Kathy Culhane or Ray Parise at (705) 856-7394. And don’t forget to come to the June Meeting on Wednesday, June 13th. Voting is good, too.

The Lounge is available to seniors or other community members at the rate of $10.00 per hour or $25.00 for

a half day. Renting the entire Drop In would cost $75.00.

Members are entitled to a 25% discount. Call (705) 8567394 for more information or booking.

We also promised Silvanna Dereski at the Family Health Team that we would man the water station at Wawa Lake the morning of Saturday, June 16th during the Black Fly Run. If you can pour water into glasses, hand out the glass to someone flying by, and pick up the empty, we really would like four nice persons to volunteer. Last year it wasn’t half bad, even in the rain.

Mah jongg had four people out to learn on Wednesday at one; bridge learners can have some fun and learn a lot on Tuesday at one; and on Thursday Mary Anne Mitrikas had a twenty four hand in cribbage. And the 16

noisy bridge players had great fun on Monday.

And please remember to circle June 24th, Sunday, for our business year end Pot Luck Dinner. Come on out for great food and fun!

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.

Wawa Legion Receives Enabling Accessibility Funds

Renovations will soon begin to the bottom level of the Legion Hall thanks to a $16,900 grant the Royal Canadian Legion – Wawa Branch received from the Government of Canada’s Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) program. The grant money will be used to build a barrier-free washroom and access ramp.

“The Wawa Legion Accessibility project includes two phases and the lower level renovations will be completed with funding from the Federal Government, Municipality of Wawa and Superior East CFDC,” said President Mary Anne Pearson. “Combined with the support of our generous donors, the project costs of $26,000 have been raised to complete this project.” Construction will begin in early June and includes the installation of a barrier-free, gender-neutral washroom.

Phase One renovations will be completed by the end of August and cause little disruption to downstairs operations.

Completion of this phase will enable the Wawa Legion to focus its efforts on accessing funding for the Upper Level

renovations which include a barrier-free lift to both levels of the Hall.

With support from the Enabling Accessibility Fund and several donors, the Wawa Legion Hall will be able to serve a larger number of members and residents at events and programs held at the facility, especially those with mobility challenges. “By improving access to the Wawa Legion Hall, more opportunities are being created for all residents to enjoy and participate in social and recreational activities, particularly our Seniors,” said Maury O’Neill.

“The EDC of Wawa is proud to support the Legion’s Lift for the Legion campaign and we look forward to accessing government funding support for the upper level lift renovations.”

Residents can make a taxfree donation to the “Lift for the Legion Campaign” by contacting Mary Anne Pearson at (705) 856-7203.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

May Is Speech And Hearing Awareness Month SUDBURY, ON – Many of us may take for granted the ability to speak, swallow, or laugh with friends over dinner. We may often forget how vital it is to be able to hear and be heard in our everyday life. When someone is unable to take part in those social activities, they run the risk of feeling alone and isolated. 1 in 6 Canadians has a communication disorder. Trouble communicating with people can limit one’s ability to express that they need help or that they’re in pain. It might mean not being able to say ‘I love you,” to a family member.

Health Sciences North is taking this time to highlight the fabulous work done by our Speech Language Pathologists who help people regain their ability to speak, eat, and swallow.

Speech L anguage

Pathologists work with a wide variety of patients to try and help restore some quality of life. Stroke patients, dementia patients, people who are suffering from head injuries, or anyone who’s lost the ability to communicate will be cared for by an SLP. One of the biggest issues those patients face is the ability to swallow. It can almost make a patient feel like they are drowning on their own saliva.

“Swallowing is part of our mandate and our role because we have an intimate knowledge of the anatomy,” says Alexandra Fleury, a speech pathologist who works in the Northeast Cancer Centre.

She works with cancer patients before their treatment and prescribes exercises to help with their swallowing. “The reason we provide the patients with swallowing

exercises before treatment is that radiation hardens the muscles involved in swallowing and it’s very difficult to regain that ability after it’s been lost.”

Meghan Palangio has been a Speech Language Pathologist at HSN 6 years and works primarily with stroke victims, who often end up with aphasia and have lost the ability to speak or the ability to comprehend language.

In one case she worked with a very young mother who suffered a stroke and lost the ability to read bedtime stories to her children. “She brought in a book from home and we practiced with her. And when she left she was able to read that book to her kids at night.

We do try to rehab in a way that the patient chooses their own goals.”

Canadians Can Expect An Above Average Wildland Fire Season Natural Resources Canada The 2018 fire season in Canada has begun, and Natural Resources Canada’s wildland fire researchers are forecasting much of Canada having above normal fire risk.

Multiple climate models suggest most of the nation will have above normal temperatures, with some regions also experiencing drier than normal conditions. They stress, however, that while conditions in these areas may be conducive to widespread or intense fire behaviour, fire events depend on lightning or human ignitions occurring and under suitable conditions.

Dry winter conditions in southern Manitoba have lead to spring fire activity.

ter to summerlike conditions in the remainder of the Prairie Provinces and western Ontario may cause a gradual increase in fire danger before summer arrives.

Long-range forecasts suggest that the wildland fire season may peak in July and August with warmer than normal temperatures, with national fire danger decreasing in September as temperatures return to their seasonal averages. Areas affected include provincial lands around and west of James Bay, and the Northwest Territories south of Great Bear Lake, while conditions in Yukon and northwestern British Columbia remain close to normal.

Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian Forest Service (CFS) provides maps of daily

fire weather and fire behaviour and monthly seasonal fire severity forecasts through the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System website (http://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/ home).

The seasonal fire severity forecast maps are revised monthly to reflect the latest weather data and forest conditions. This information is used by the provinces and territories to help with their wildland fire preparedness activities, including planning firefighting resources.

Canadians refer to the daily fire danger maps to ensure they can conduct their work and leisure activities in a safe environment.

AVIS — COMMENCEMENT DU CADRE DE RÉFÉRENCE ET INVITATION À UNE SÉANCE D’INFORMATION PUBLIQUE concernant le Projet du Corridor Lac Supérieur — Hydro One Networks Inc. Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) entreprend actuellement, conformément à la Loi sur les évaluations environnementales de l’Ontario, une évaluation environnementale (EE) pour le Projet du Corridor Lac Supérieur. L’étude de la Société indépendante d’exploitation du réseau d’électricité (SIERE) – Updated Assessment of the Need for the East-West Tie Expansion, 2017 – qui évalue la nécessité d’étendre la ligne de connexion Est-Ouest existante, indique qu’une nouvelle ligne de transport « demeure la solution de rechange recommandée pour maintenir dans le long terme un approvisionnement d’électricité fiable et rentable dans le Nord-Ouest de l’Ontario ». L’EE examinera deux itinéraires possibles pour l’implantation d’une nouvelle ligne de transport à deux circuits à 230 kilovolts, qui s’étendrait sur 400 km entre le poste de transformation (PT) de Lakehead, près de Thunder Bay, et le PT de Wawa, près de Wawa (voir la carte).

L’itinéraire de référence globalement suit en parallèle le corridor de connexion Est-Ouest existant de Hydro One, sauf qu’un nouveau tronçon de corridor est prévu près de Dorion et qu’une section de l’infrastructure traversant le parc national Pukaskwa serait modifiée. L’autre itinéraire de référence globalement suit en parallèle le corridor de connexion Est-Ouest existant de Hydro One, sauf en ce qui concerne ici aussi un nouveau tronçon de corridor prévu près de Dorion et un autre tronçon qui passera à l’extérieur du parc national Pukaskwa.

En mars 2018, Hydro One a tenu des haltes-information le long de l’itinéraire envisagé pour permettre aux intervenants de mieux se renseigner sur le Projet du Corridor Lac Supérieur, de rencontrer l’équipe responsable et de faire part de leurs commentaires. Hydro One est au courant de la vaste consultation qui a été déjà menée sur l’autre route de référence et fera tout son possible pour simplifier la consultation et les études.

Processus de planification L’EE est menée conformément aux exigences de la Loi sur les évaluations environnementales (la Loi). La première étape consiste à préparer un cadre de référence qui établit le plan des travaux et études à mener en réponse aux exigences de la Loi; le cadre indique en particulier les études et les activités de consultation qui seront entreprises. Une partie importante des activités consistera à examiner l’itinéraire de référence envisagé et l’autre itinéraire de référence, d’en évaluer les effets potentiels et de déterminer les mesures à prendre pour réduire ou atténuer ces effets.

Une version provisoire du cadre de référence sera mise à la disposition de la collectivité pour examen et commentaires au début de l’été 2018.

Hydro One pense que le cadre de référence sera achevé en milieu d’été, après quoi il sera présenté au ministre de l’Environnement et de l’Action en matière de changement climatique (le ministre) pour examen et décision. S’il est approuvé, Hydro One entamera l’étude environnementale conformément au cadre de référence.

With Jim White

Mystery of the Abandoned Car

On a Tuesday evening in late May of 2010 a local hiker from Wawa, Carter Carr, drove down to the parking lot at High Falls to start his usual hike up along the Voyageur Trail that followed the Magpie River.

This 21 year old guy parked his brand new yellow Mustang – his pride and joy -- at the far end of the parking lot. He didn't want anyone running into it. It was the only car in town with that colour, which he liked. His buddies were jealous. The girls were all cooing over it. Even his father was impressed. But sometimes being a stand out could have unexpected results. His vehicle was the only one there, except for an obviously brandnew black BMW. He glanced at it. He noticed that the license plate was from Alberta, but he never gave it another thought.

He headed out for his hike. It was still parked there when he got back.

He came back Wednesday evening after supper for his usual hike. Again, he was the only one there – except for that BMW. He thought that it seemed odd that it was still there. There was a rusty white coloured half ton truck that had sped away as he pulled in to the parking lot, he remembered.

He wondered what their rush was to get away in such a hurry. He never gave it another thought, though, as now his curiosity was aroused. He went over to have a closer look at it. He looked in the driver's side window, but with the tinted glass, he couldn't see anything. He tried to open the car door. To his surprise it was unlocked. He opened it up, and was horrified to discover blood all over the driver's seat. Then he noticed the bullet holes in the passenger -side window. But there was no body or bodies. He immediately thought that somebody must have dragged whoever was originally in the car into the bush, or maybe the river?

He panicked, closed the car door, and dashed back to his car.

He sped away, kicking up dirt, forgetting about damaging his baby with stone chips and dust.

Then he thought about that truck speeding away. Maybe they were going to report this to the cops.

As he headed towards the police station, he tried to process what he had just seen. Then Carter wondered if the people in that truck were the ones who had done this to the BMW. He went to the OPP station.

Detective John Ford was the attending officer. He told him what he had just witnessed. He asked about that truck, and was told that he was the first one to report this matter. Ford tried to get a description of the truck out of Carter, but he was too excited to tell him much. Carter did realize that he wasn't a very good witness, because he didn't even remember what exact colour it was, except that it was a light colour, and was an older model.

And no, he didn't get any license plate number. He wasn't thinking about needing it, as he had assumed it was just heading off to report what he had also just witnessed. Ford patiently him it was okay, and assured him that many witnesses are not that reliable at times like this. That calmed him down. Meanwhile he called in assistance to do a patrol

of the area just in case.

Then he and Carter headed back down to the Falls parking lot. There still was no one else parked there. Ford looked the car over. He asked Carter: “I thought you said the license plates were from Alberta. There are no plates now. This will make it a bit more difficult to find out who owns it.”

Carter defended himself: “Last night they were on. I just never noticed today, what with what I saw tonight.”

Ford nodded, and added, “I don't understand why they just didn't take the car. Maybe they couldn't find the keys? My gut instinct is a drug deal gone bad.”

After writing a few notes, he opened the driver's door, and popped the button to open the trunk. When they looked in, they were shocked to find a Rottweiler laying on its' side, obviously dead.

Ford commented, “Sure looks like a drug dealer's guard dog.”

He wrote a couple more notes.

Then when he tried to put his pen back in his shirt pocket, it dropped to the ground. When he leaned down to pick it up, he noticed something underneath the car. He lay down on the gravel, and looked closer. He cried out, “Oh, man. Here is our missing driver, I bet. Help me pull him out, Carter.” Between the two of them, they were able to drag the body of a young man out. The detective knelt over him to check for vital signs. He was surprised to find a very weak pulse. He uttered out loud, “ He is still alive.” He got up and went to his cruiser, and called for an ambulance, and backup to secure the crime scene. Then he went back to the man, and began CPR. Soon there was a lot of commotion as everyone arrived nearly all at the same time. Ford got one of his officers to accompany the ambulance back to the hospital, with instructions to see if he came to, and could give some details of what went down here, and radio him back immediately.

Then he had another officer take all the photos of the area around the car. Meanwhile, he strolled down to the river, and the rushing falls, and over to where the trail began, looking for clues. Carter tagged along. After a quick search, he went back to his cruiser, and requested the tracking dog sniffers to be brought in for the morning. He said to Carter: “Well, it is getting dark, so that is about all we can do tonight. I am going to post a guard here for the night, just in case somebody comes back. You can go home now. Thanks for all your help.

I know this is quite a shock for you. Don't discuss it with anybody though. Here is my card. I will be in touch with you tomorrow. Okay, go home. And thanks again.”

Carter did as he was told. He was exhausted from the ordeal.

He went to bed just after eleven, and went into a sound sleep immediately. But he was awakened in the middle of the night when he heard the glass of a window pane in the back porch door being smashed. He jerked up in bed, listening intently for any sounds. He was wide awake then, as he heard the click of the back door being unlocked.

His heart began pounding, and he began shaking as he realized someone was breaking in. He

jumped out of bed, and looked around for a weapon. All he could think of was his bedside lamp. He yanked the cord out of the socket and picked it up, pulling off the shade. He went to his bedroom door, and yelled out in a quivering voice - “Get out of here!

I have a gun, and I will use it if I have to.” He poked his head out to see and hear better. The street lights cast some light in the living room, and to the hall entrance.

He was taken aback when he saw a head pop out of the door of the hall, and the glint of a gun barrel was pointed right at him. In just a quick glance, he saw it was a man with long black stringy hair, with a rough shaven face. Then the shot rang out, and he felt the bullet whiz past his right ear. He quickly slammed the bedroom door shut, and ran to the window.

He fumbled with the latch, as he struggled to open it, climb out, and get away as fast as he could.

He was just starting to climb out the window when he heard the door knob rattling, and the door was flung open. He jumped off the ledge just as another bullet went whistling by his left ear this time. He ran towards the street, and almost made it when he heard another gun shot, and this time he felt the impact of the bullet hit the back of his left shoulder. He collapsed to the ground, just at the curb, hitting his head hard enough to knock himself out.

He woke up in the hospital about mid-afternoon on Thursday. He ached all over, and felt the bandages on his shoulder. He groggily called out for a nurse. She came in, followed by a uniformed officer. He asked what happened, and could he get a drink of water. She got him the water while the officer explained about him being shot. “Oh, yeah, I remember now. It all happened so fast. Did they catch the intruder?” The officer avoided the question, and just said that Det. Ford would explain all that when he got here. That would be very soon, now that he was awake, he finished. Sure enough, about fifteen minutes later, he walked into Carter's room.

He smiled at him, and said, “Well, you had quite the night, didn't you? How are you feeling?”

Carter replied, “Real sore, and now I'm scared. Do you suppose somebody was trying to...” He paused while the thought sunk in. - “You know, kill me, thinking that I saw or knew something?”

Ford looked serious, and agreed that it looked that way. He asked if Carter could give him a description. Of course, his quick view from the hallway was not much to go on, but it was a start, Ford agreed. He added that thanks to a neighbour, who heard the shots, and turned on his porch light and poked his head out the door and yelled at this guy who was on the verge of giving you a fatal shot.

That yell scared him off, and he jumped into this white coloured pickup and sped away He noted that it fit the description to a tee. So that was a good lead, he added, to cheer Carter up.

He went on, “ The car is registered in Alberta all right to a Mr. Norman Dodge from Calgary.

The young man we found under the car is his son, Edsel. He is still unconscious, but the doctor thinks that he should be coming to sometime today. I hope to talk...” He paused, as he noticed Carter gasp, and his eyes widened as his eyebrows arched up.

“What is it? Does that name mean anything to you?” In an obvious evasion, he said no. That didn't go unnoticed by Ford how-

ever. But he let it pass for now.

He saw that Carter was getting tired, so left.

The following day, Friday, the dogs found Dodge in the bush, a few hundred feet in along the trail, but off to the side. Ford realized that Carter likely had walked right by him, but because he was partially hidden by a fallen tree, he would never have been noticed. He had obviously died of a gunshot wound.

Edsel finally was able to talk, explaining that they had been kidnapped. “We were driven down there on Monday night by a couple of 'thugs' to meet with someone from Wawa, who apparently wanted us dead. Why this spot though? I don't know for sure, but I remember Dad telling me something about when he and his first business partner first met it was at some waterfall.

Maybe it was this one? Anyway, we waited in our BMW for the rendezvous, with 2 pistols aimed directly at our heads. It was near dusk when it occurred. As we were being forced out of the car, to meet this mystery man, one of the kidnappers fired his pistol by accident. There was a struggle, with lots of gunfire. My father dove out of the car, and scrambled towards the bush. But I am sure he must have been wounded, what with all that gunfire. But since it was getting dark, the others could not find him.

I climbed under the car to avoid being found as well. However, due to the stress, I had one of my epileptic seizures. I hit my head on the undercarriage and knocked myself out. That's all I remember.”

Ford concluded that the others had left, and came back the Wednesday night to finish up the job. They likely had to wait that long, as maybe every time they had gone back, there had been visitors. Seeing they couldn't find the keys to drive it away, they took the plates off, to make it difficult to trace. Fortunately, the father had had the foresight to grab the car keys as he got out of the car. The keys were found in his shirt pocket. Carter had obviously scared them off once again that evening.

They had a lucky break on Saturday when a police officer noticed the man with the long hair getting into the truck uptown. He was arrested without incident, and the accomplice too. The two pistols were found in the glove compartment. After some intense interrogation, they finally gave up the name of the kingpin of the operation. That man's name was... Buick Carr, his father. Ford relayed what he had learned from them to Carter.

He had heard about the bad blood between them from his father before, but he would never elaborate. It turned out that they had been partners in a construction business out west, but they had a falling out. Carr had lost a lot of money, and vowed revenge by murdering Dodge. He headed back home to Wawa to hatch his plot. He didn't want to be seen in Calgary when this would all go down. He managed to con a couple of bike gang members that he knew, to kidnap him and bring him back to Wawa to finish him off – but they also ended up dragging the son and their pet dog, Wrangler, along in the process. They didn't realize that all three were in the house. Dodge was supposed to be alone, they were told. The dog had died the night before they got to Wawa, and after begging to keep the dog with them, the kidnappers agreed, and put him in the trunk.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

So it wasn't a drug dealer's dog at all. Ford had guessed that part wrong, he admitted.

It was one of the bikers who broke into Carter's house after tracking him down to his house after learning where he lived from Carr. Once the guys described the car they had seen coming into the parking lot as they left in such a hurry, it was easy to tell them where to go to finish the job.

That yellow Mustang clinched it.

Carr didn't tell them who the car belonged to, though. He didn't want them to refuse to do the job, if they knew it was his son they were being sent to kill. Imagine – his own father giving him up so callously!

The capture of Buick Carr, took a little longer. He managed to elude the police. Apparently he left his place just moments before they arrived to arrest him, according to the neighbours. It took about three days before they caught up with him in Montreal.

He didn't have enough money get there on his own, so he broke into his son's house, and 'borrowed' his wallet, with his debit and credit cards. It was easy to find.

It was on the kitchen counter where Carter had mistakenly left it that Wednesday evening when he went for his hike. He swapped cars at Carter's, leaving his in the garage, and taking Carter's in order to make it more difficult to track him down – all to no avail in the end. That distinctive yellow colour was a dead giveaway.

Carter was devastated by all this.

Despite their fathers' falling out, Carter and Edsel had kept up their friendship on Twitter. They never talked about the business part. They had lots of other things in common to chat about.

Now that he was here in Wawa, he stayed with Carter, and that brought them even closer together as friends for a while, at least, until they decided to go into business together – a car dealership for high end cars like BMW's.

They swore that they would not repeat their fathers' mistakes. It didn't take long before the frictions began though. Over the years, it built up. It was on the verge of becoming a major split by 2018.

Ironically the end came at the High Falls parking lot where this all started. On a Sunday evening in late May Carter talked Edsel to go for a walk with him, pointing out that he was out of shape, and a walk was therapeutic. They headed along the path, but at one point the path came very close to the river 's edge. Edsel lost his balance and fell down a steep embankment into the river.

Carter slid down and jumped into the river to save him, but they both drowned. Left behind at the parking lot was a yellowbodied & black hood Mazarotti for someone to find. A town employee who came down every day to clean up the washrooms became suspicious when the car had not moved for four days.

Detective Ford just happened to be the investigator. How about that, eh! The two bodies were found washed up on the shore up not far from the Falls about a month later when a hiker with his dog came across the bodies that were both hung up beside each other against a tree that had fallen into the river. So this story has come full circle. What are the odds?

Do not twist or turn.

• Put it in a clean container or sealable plastic bag and mark the date and geographic location of where the tick was picked up.

• Wash the area with soap and water OR apply rubbing alcohol.

• Monitor the bite. See a health care provider with concerns.

SUBMIT THE TICK If you think it’s a blacklegged tick or you are not sure: • Put the tick in a clean container or sealable plastic bag and mark the date and geographic location of where the tick was picked up and mail it to the office in Thunder Bay (999 Balmoral Street, Thunder Bay, P7B 6E7). Include the following information with the submission: your name, telephone number, whether the tick was found on a human or a pet and the date the tick was found. If possible, mark “tick” on the outside of the envelope.

• Wait for a call from the Health Unit. All blacklegged ticks are sent for testing and you will be notified when the results are received.

Are you getting “ticked”?

The Health Unit has been receiving an increasing number of tick submissions. Most ticks in the Thunder Bay district are wood (dog) ticks and do not carry Lyme disease.

However, blacklegged (deer) ticks have the potential to carry the disease and some ticks submitted locally have tested positive for Lyme disease. These ticks are active whenever the temperature rises above 4ºC including spring, summer and fall. So what can you do to protect yourself and your family this outdoor season?

PREVENT THE BITE 1. Cover up. Protect yourself when you are active outdoors. Wear long sleeves, tuck pants in socks and wear light coloured clothing so ticks are more easily noticed.

2. Use bug spray. Follow the directions and use bug spray containing DEET or Icaridin on clothes and exposed skin to keep bugs away.

3. Check yourself and your pets. Do a tick check before heading indoors (home, camp, tent). Look in warm, hidden areas on the body including

armpits, in and around the hair and ears, KNOW THE TICK Ticks can range in size from a poppy seed in the nymph stage to a pea when they are engorged and full of blood.

Wood (dog) ticks are larger than blacklegged (deer) ticks.

For example, an adult female wood tick is about 0.5 cm long and an adult female blacklegged tick is about 0.3 cm long. Since ticks can be very small, it’s important to do a thorough tick check!

Wood ticks are the most common tick in our area.

Female wood ticks have a brown body with a cream cape and while adult males have a cream/brown body.

Blacklegged female ticks have a reddish/brown body with a black cape while adult males are all black. Photos of the ticks can be found at TBDHU. COM. REMOVE THE TICK Ticks bite, draw blood, engorge and then drop off.

The tick’s mouth will be under the skin but the head and body will be sticking out. Follow these steps to remove: • Don’t burn off or smother

Black Bears Live In Most Parts Of Ontario. Knowing What To Do If You Encounter A Bear Is Being Bear Wise.

Black bears live in most parts of Ontario. Knowing what to do if you encounter a bear is being Bear Wise.

Avoid encounters: 1. Make noise when you move through heavily wooded areas, especially if you are near a stream or waterfall, where bears may not hear you.

2. Singing, whistling or talking will alert bears to your presence, giving them a chance to avoid you.

3. Keep your eyes and ears open for signs of a bear like tracks, claw marks on trees or droppings.

4. DO NOT wear headphones.

5. Be aware of your surroundings, especially if you are doing activities outside (i.e. hiking, jogging, cycling, gardening, berry picking or camping) where bears may not realize you are there.

6. If you are out with a dog, keep it on a leash. Uncontrolled, untrained dogs may actually lead a bear to you.

Think about safety: 1. Carry a whistle or air horn.

2. Carry and understand how

to use bear spray.

3. If you are in “back country” consider carrying a long-handled axe.

If you do spot a bear: 1. Remain calm and do not run, climb a tree or swim.

2. Slowly back away while keeping the bear in sight.

3. Watch the bear and wait for it to leave, if it does not leave wave your arms and make noise.

4. If you are near a building or vehicle, get inside as precaution.

Ticks Are A Growing Concern Lyme disease is on the rise in Canada as the range of black-legged (deer) ticks expands north due to warmer average temperatures. Once a problem that could be ignored as something that took place in other parts of Canada, more people are being forced to consider tick-safety when heading outdoors. When even something as simple as working in a backyard garden can put a person at risk, public health campaigns that help Canadians understand and limit their risk are becoming vitally important.

Lyme disease is caused by bacteria, which commonly infects animals like birds, mice, other small rodents, and deer. When ticks bite an infected animal, they can spread it to other animals, including human hosts. Just like flu viruses, there are many types of Lyme disease with some being more severe than others. Adding to the difficulties that some have faced, Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose.

When caught early, the treatment can be straightforward, but not all cases are clear. If a person removes a tick from themselves they can have it tested. If a bulls-eye rash occurs from the bite it is considered an indicator of the presence of Lyme, but that isn’t always the case. Many only discover the presence of the disease after long searches for answers to symptoms that mimic other diseases. Even then, stories of patients travelling long distances to find doctors that diagnose and treat Lyme are common since not all doctors are trained to look for it. Treatment in Canada is also limited, which is why many long term sufferers of Lyme are travelling to the US to receive the longterm treatment that Lymeexpert doctors say is necessary.

Many dog and horse owners know that vaccinations against Lyme are readily available from veterinarians leaving us to wonder why there isn’t one for humans.

The truth is one was already developed and was available in the late 1990s. LYMErix was approved by the FDA in the United States, but fell out of favour for a number of reasons. It was the same era that the anti-vaccine movement was gaining prominence and a study also linked the vaccine to the onset of arthritis in hamsters. Shortly after, some vaccinated individuals complained of joint pain and the media ran with the story.

What was lost in the narrative was the fact that LYMErix was 80% effective and the correlation with arthritis was never fully investigated.

Despite the lack of proof, the vaccine’s reputation was tarnished and sales dropped to the point that the manufacturer stopped making it available.

In the absence of a vaccine, the onus is put squarely on prevention. The good news is that there is a lot an individual can do to limit their exposure to ticks. Just wearing shoes can reduce the chance of picking up ticks by 75%. Tucking socks into pants, using insect repellent, and fully examining oneself after being outdoors also help reduce exposure to ticks as does showering shortly after being in areas they inhabit.

A tick can feed for up to 24 hours which gives most people plenty of time to discover if they are being bit. If that is the case, consult a doctor and keep any tick you remove to be tested.

It pays to be safe and avoid bites altogether since ticks can transmit a number of diseases including Powassan Virus which can be deadly and is carried by a wider variety of ticks. The federal and provincials governments have put money into tick programs and most of that cash has been earmarked for awareness campaigns. A vaccine would be a beneficial addition to these efforts and with the problem of Lyme disease only growing, perhaps some resources to investigate that option will be next.
