Wawa Campus Celebrates 50th With Cookie & Coffee Tour

Some 130 young chess masters met in Wawa on April 27th for the fourth Franco-NordOuest Chess Tournament. The competition, hosted by Wawa’s École Saint-Joseph, attracted 131 grades 3 to 12 francophone students from the following Northwestern Ontario schools: École Saint-Joseph and École l’Escalade (Wawa), École St-Joseph and É.s. l’Orée des bois (Dubreuilville), École Sacré-Cœur (Chapleau), and École Écho-des-Rapides (Sault Ste. Marie).

Tournament participants and their chaperones had lots of fun, while teachers observed that the contest was also beneficial in spurring the students to raise the level of their game and excel in strategizing. Each participant played no fewer than 5 games and received 2 tournament t-shirts. In all, 82 happy winners took home the 25 gold, 20 silver and 37 bronze medals that were awarded during the competition.

Students from Wawa’s École Saint-Joseph have acquired a well-deserved reputation for their passion for this timeless game. Chess is a discipline that requires a great deal of forward strategizing in addition to a sharp memory and good problem-solving skills. The school’s goal in hosting the friendly francophone tournament is to pro-

mote the game and encourage Northwestern Ontario youth to explore the discipline and develop their chess skills. École Saint-Joseph wishes to recognize the support of Wawa’s Rotary Club, which has made it possible for the FrancoNord-Ouest Chess Tournament to expand and help provide a meaningful experience for North-Western Francophone students!

“The tournament not only allows students to develop their problem-solving skills but makes it possible for young Francophone aficionados to meet and collectively enjoy their passion for chess. We take great pride in observing the deep roots of our Francophonie in Northern Ontario,” stated RenéGuy Nobert, École Saint-Joseph (Wawa) teacher and tournament organizer.

courses and funding opportunities available to residents and potential students.

NALC and NAEHC received a 50th Anniversary party package. Each was stuffed with party favours and 50th souvenirs. And of course everyone had the opportunity to sign the 50th Anniversary yearbook to wish Confederation well wishes on their landmark year.

Michipicoten Chronicles

by Johanna Rowe, CAHP

•

Michipicoten HBCo. Post, 1908, photo courtesy of Municipality of Wawa Heritage Committee

The Fur Trade At Michipicoten The Wawa area was once the centre of Canada’s dynamic fur trade history for nearly 200 years. The Michipicoten First Nation’s introduced the first European explorers to the rich fur-bearing forests of their home in the 1600’s.

Michipicoten was the ideal location for a post to trade with local Ojibway as well as a rest and re-supply stop for traders and adventurers travelling across North America.

Michipicoten was a mere 3 day trip by canoe from Sault Ste. Marie; 4 days more to Fort William (Thunder Bay) on the west shore of Superior; and 16 days up the mighty Michipicoten, Missinaibi and Moose Rivers to Moose Factory on James Bay. French traders were the first to secure trade with the Michipicoten Ojibway and build a post in 1725. This small post was built in a clearing on the opposite bank of the river where the Michipicoten meets the waters of the Magpie below Silver Falls.

Following the Treaty of Paris in 1763 the French retreated from many posts across the land. Independent traders, like Alexander Henry, set up headquarters at Michipicoten between 1767 and 1783. It was in this year that the newly created Northwest Company took over the Michipicoten Post and thus began an aggressive rivalry with its competitor, the Hudson’s Bay Company.

While the NWCo. established outposts next to the HBCo. trading posts throughout the land, in 1797 the HBCo. built a post slightly upriver and across from the Michipicoten post. Outposts were also constructed at the mouths of the Agawa and Batchawana rivers along the east shore of Lake Superior towards Sault Ste. Marie.

Amicable negotiations resulted in the closure of the HBCo. post in 1802. Depleting furs soon reignited competition between the two companies and in 1816 the HBCo. rebuilt downriver from their original location. This post remained in place until the two rival

companies amalgamated and the HBCo. re-established itself in the prime post buildings and NWCo. property on the south side of the river.

In 1827 Michipicoten took over from Fort William as the headquarters for the Lake Superior District of the Hudson’s Bay Company.

Other important commercial and government activities at the post included the construction and repair of wooden York boats, a tinware industry, a post office, Missionary activities, Indian Agent office and location of the first Mining Division Bureau in Ontario. The post was also home to a commercial fishing operation which supplied barrels of salted fish to outlying posts and markets as far away as Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, and Detroit.

After 179 years of being a strategic and crucial link in North America’s fur trade and exploration, the Michipicoten Post was officially closed for business in 1904.

Thunder Bay/Algoma Mine Rescue Teams To Compete

Mine rescue teams in seven districts across Ontario, including Thunder Bay/ Algoma District, will test their emergency response knowledge and skills in District Mine Rescue Competitions May 11th and 12th.

Four teams and equipment technicians from Thunder Bay/Algoma District will compete at the Marathon Arena in Marathon.

Competing will be: • Barrick Gold – Hemlo Operations • Wesdome Gold Mines – Eagle River Mine • Richmont Mines – Island Gold Mine • North American Palladium – Lac des Iles Mine The competition organized

by Ontario Mine Rescue, a part of Workplace Safety North, will test the teams’ knowledge, firefighting skills, first aid response, use of emergency equipment and decision-making ability under stress in a simulated underground emergency.

The public and media are welcome to attend district and provincial competitions to give communities a chance to see highly trained volunteers in action. Other competitions will take place in: • Sudbury & Onaping districts – McClelland Arena, Copper Cliff • Timmins & Kirkland Lake districts – Archie Dillon Sportsplex, Timmins • Southern District – Adie Knox Herman Arena, Windsor • Red Lake District – Cochenour Arena, Cochenour The winner of each district competition will compete in the 2017 Provincial Competition, June 7th to 9th, at Compass Minerals Goderich Mine in Goderich.

Mine rescue competitions, which started in Ontario in 1950, are as much intensive learning opportunities as a chance to test emergency response capabilities. The competitions ensure that mine rescue volunteers across

the province are trained to the same high standards.

Mine rescue team members, the backbone of Ontario Mine Rescue, are volunteer mine workers trained by Mine Rescue Officers to respond to all types of mine emergencies including fires, explosions and falls of ground.

Under the authority of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and headquartered in Sudbury, Ontario Mine Rescue staffs, equips and maintains a network of mine rescue stations across the province that ensure mines within a specified geographic area have adequate emergency response capability.

Ontario Mine Rescue is a part of Workplace Safety North, which provides products and services to promote workplace health and safety in the mining, forestry, and paper, printing and converting industries, as well as workplaces across Ontario.

Kashechewan First Nation Evacuees Arrive In Wawa WAWA, ON – On April 16th, 2017, the Municipality of Wawa declared a state of emergency in order to prepare for the arrival of evacuees from the First Nation Community of Kashechewan. Rising waters on the Albany River and its major tributaries made the evacuation necessary as a precautionary measure.

The Municipality of Wawa will receive approximately 180 evacuees from Kashechewan First Nation and will provide them with a safe and secure temporary home until such time as the flood waters recedes.

It is anticipated that total of 1000 residents of Kashechewan will be evacuated to various communities across Northern Ontario.

Mayor Ron Rody stated that, “Wawa is pleased to welcome our visitors from Kashechewan that will be arriving in Wawa later today and into tomorrow.

We are prepared to ensure that they have a safe, secure location where they will feel comfortable until they can return home.”

The response of the community of Wawa, municipal staff and volunteers has been tremendous. Mayor Rody went on to say, “Wawa is very proud of the efforts of our municipal staff, volunteers and other organizations as we again come together to assist those in need.”

A grateful thank you to the energetic 'Wawa Community Walking Challenge' who took on the cleanup challenge on Earth Day to make Wawa beautiful again! My thanks to the organizers, Silvana, Melisssa, and friends. All of you saved the Municipality a lot of money in manpower!

The Ontario Nurses Association is proud to celebrate and acknowledge Nursing week 2017. This is an annual celebration of our profession which is held in May each year to coincide with the May 12 birthday of Florence Nightingale the founder of modern nursing. It is a time to recognize the year-round dedication of all RNs, RPNs & NPs who are present in so many aspects of our health care system. In our modern society nursing roles are evolving at an exponential rate particularly with the influence of technology; but in all aspects of care, nurses are rising to meet the challenges of modern medicine and a more complex health care delivery.

looks like? We just cleaned up that area in the fall -- and it is an absolute 'saustall' (pigsty in German)! Working around the unpredictable weather, a few of us are trying to make a difference, but we need your help.

If any able-bodied person would like to help, call me 705856-4476. We go out in the mornings until noon. Bags and gloves are supplied, but no liability. My treat is a light lunch at Subway for your hard work that day.

Disgruntled but determined, Karin

As nursing continues to evolve with new structures, fancier gadgets and political challenges, the heart of the profession stays the same.

Whatever the tools and technologies of the job, nurses will remain caregivers and advocates for the sick and most vulnerable members of our communities. You can count on us.

This year our annual Nurses Week Dinner will be held at the Legion Hall on Wednesday, May 10th, cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and dinner at 6:00 p.m. Any nurses planning to attend please contact Margaret Chapman by May 4th at 705-856-0310 or email her at nursesdinner@gmail. com.

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].

Les écoles du CSCNO célèbrent la Semaine de l’éducation catholique

École Saint-Joseph Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) schools will celebrate Catholic Education Week under the theme “Walking Forward Together”. From April 30th to May 5th, school boards across the province will promote the added value of a Catholic education and the overall excellence of Francophone Catholic schools.

Using a variety of classroom and school-wide academic and identity-based activities, students and school staff will be able to widen their understanding of the role they play in transforming society through Christian values. With a view to broadening our students’ French Catholic footprint, parents and the media are invited to visit our schools and share these moments of discovery with us.

“Catholic Education Week is the ideal occasion for our schools to share all the great and grand things that we do,” said CSCNO president André Bidal. “Over and above schoolbooks and lessons, we provide

There goes April! Besides Easter and some extra snow there was nothing much to talk about.

Now here comes May and there is some BIG stuff to think about. First of all, naturally, the 72nd anniversary of end of WW2 in Europe. Looking at the news from overseas they are really getting ready for 2020 and the 75th anniversary with the slogan 'Freedom up to 2020'.

At many remembrances they have also German Wehrmacht veterans invited at the battle of Arnhem and other remembrances.

On May 4th, there will be evening remembrances in Holland at the Canadian War cemeteries where school children once again will place lighted candles before each gravestone. This way they teach the kids about

all these heroes who gave their life so they can enjoy their years of growing up in peace, On May 5th there will be bands playing and ceremonies in Wageningen, Arnhem and Apeldoorn. Even in the smallest village the festivities will be going all day. I am sure that any Canadian veteran who can still make it there will be honoured and treated like a real live hero.

At the Branch there will be elections for a new slate of officers and executive committee at the membership meeting on May 11th. We urge you to attend at this special biannual event. Anyone who wants to get involved in a really special way to serve the community while remembering their parents or grandparents who served Canada proudly NOW is the time to join to help get ready,

organize and take part in the 75th Anniversary in 2020.

Things are still going well at the Branch and Saturdays cribbage is still a good event to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends and beat them at the game. Things are already getting organized for the Legion Golf Tournament. Watch for more news about this main event in June.

Johnnies mother observed him taking a measuring tape with him to bed every night and she asked him why he did this.

Johnnie replied, “Mom, I want to know how LONG I sleep!”

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

With Jim White

What's Up With Spring?

“This is Jack Windom, reporter for the Ottawa Bureau of the CTV network. with breaking news about the bizarre weather we have been experiencing in Canada and the States this past winter and now our prolonged winter. We have obtained a copy of this leaked document from the House of Commons Intelligence & Security Committee closed door hearings held today, April 17/17.

It reads as follows: Please find attached the confidential report that I have submitted to the Chief of Staff of the Defense Department in Ottawa – Col. Jeffrey Warmup, Asst. Director, Canadian Branch, NORAD, North Bay, Ontario.

The question has been asked by everyone this month: “Where is Spring?” Another one has been: “What's causing the wacky weather?”

Weather forecasters have blamed it on the jet stream, high and low pressures, greenhouse gas emissions and the now infamous 'polar vortex', like the one that happened in 2015. We have heard all these theories for years. They all sound reasonable I guess.

But an e-mail sent to The Algoma News Review in Wawa, Ontario on April 12/17 is a new theory to put out there.

It sounds like something out of science fiction that Arthur C. Clarke would have written, or a thriller like Robert Ludlum. As the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction.

Here is a verbatim report of this message: “DRAFT: To our Canadian 'comrades': I have first hand knowledge of what is happening, that is, why winter is holding on so long, despite the calendar saying it is supposed to be spring. It is canceled for this year! We have seen to that!

I am the Assistant Director to Dr. Igor Vargo. He is the Head of Climate Research in the Ministry of Science Technology in Moscow, Russia.

I am sending this information from our facility near the far tip of Greenland to you, our enemies, in North America, to instill a fear of what has happened to your weather, as well as a warning of what is to come. This is directed in particular to the American warmongers, but since you Canadians are in our way, you must suffer the same consequences as your southern ally.

It is unfortunate that this has involved you, but due to your geographic and friendly economic connections to them it has drawn you into this punishment.

With the co-operation of our Chinese comrades, and Inuit friends from Canada's Nunavut and Northwest Territories, as well as the Aleuts in Alaska, we have

been able to construct a series of gigantic wind turbines that extend high up into the atmosphere, right under your noses.

We have 10 strategically located here in Greenland, 15 on Ellesmere Island, 3 on Baffin Island, and 15 inside Russia along the Siberian coastline.

They are all of varying heights, depending on location. This has created the turbulence that was required to achieve the desired effect of moving the 'polar vortex' westward from Siberia to over Canada's Hudson Bay. We started assembling these windmills in the spring of 2016. We had them completely assembled and operational last October, just in time for the start up of your winter season.

So much for your so-called radar technology. Your air surveillance never picked these up, thanks to our specially coated enamel covering on the towers and blades. It repulsed your radar imaging instruments signals, as well the painting patterns made a perfect camouflage at their locations.

Their purpose, you ask.

Well, we have been pumping all this cold Arctic air down from Siberia over to the North Pole, into Canada and the United States, thus re-directing the jet stream downwards into your countries. This has helped to keep you cold, as well as spawning all the miserable weather you have experienced this winter. That was an unexpected side effect that we had not anticipated. A real bonus. This cold will help extend winter's grip, and keep thawing to a minimum for a while longer. Things are progressing well , with the clashing of cold and hot air down in the southern states, producing all these deadly tornadoes and lots of rain, freezing rain, and more snow in most parts of both countries earlier this year, and still producing snow all over the place. Perfect. All the deaths from this project are regrettable, but a necessary side effect, I am sorry to say.

And true to the name, these wind turbines have indeed created lots of wind being pumped out from them. Unfortunately they are designed to blow away from the structures and so cannot generate any electricity to help pay for them.

This is a small price in the large scheme of things, however. The huge battery packs we have developed for these turbines are a success, and filling the requirements to keep the turbines running.

All this lingering winter weather should have a detrimental effect on growing your food this year by shortening your growing season. And the drought in California has been changed to too much rain, and now causing widespread flood-

ing– another bonus that will effect your growing abilities this year, It will also make our master plan easier to implement when the time comes.

May you starve, as you have made us and our comrades in North Korea starve, thanks to your sanctions. Time for payback, as Americans like to say. And California was just a start - wait until the flooding starts in earnest, once we adjust our turbines to a different jet stream pattern. We will then let the heat of the sun take over the warming process, causing serious drought throughout the continent.

All this crazy weather has diverted your attention from our military buildup in the Black Sea, Syria, and our own Siberia. It won't be long now until we can claim all of the Arctic as Russian territory, and we will have the military might to enforce it.

We can then take over the oil deposits in the Arctic Ocean for our own use, as well as the fishing opportunities for our own people. Despite Canada's bluster, you have a pathetic defense in this area. This is all part of our leader, President Putin's master plan, which will be shown to the world in due time. It may seem like a mystery right now, but soon all will become clear! All this attention to ISIS has been a wonderful distraction too. We have been able to prepare our next phase without any notice from the West.

So, this may lead you to ask: Who am I? I am just a humble servant doing my small part in fulfilling this plan of our Kremlin leaders. I want to make it clear that I am sending this warning on my own to make you afraid. Be very afraid for your future. Take this seriously. Let's just call me Anon Ymous, to satisfy your Western curiosity, and need to know everything. I reckon you would love to find me and interrogate me, hoping that I will spill the beans about these windmill turbine locations, or what the master plan is all about. Well, good luck. This message was prepared a week ago, with a timed setting as to when to transmit it. I will give you two possibilities of where I am now – transferred to the Baffin Island windmill site, where we are in the beginning phase of dismantling those ones; or maybe I have been transferred back to Moscow.

Oh, a third possibility – I am in Washington, monitoring the American activities to see how close they might be in finding our windmill turbines. Time is ticking down to find them before we remove them from view. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, or in this case – needles. Of course in our design planning, they are quite portable, once taken apart, and can be easily moved anywhere we want.

Then we can put them back together for next winter. Or we may keep them running all summer and disrupt the weather all year round if we want. It's just a matter of

minor adjustments and movements to make it happen. That can mean drought or flooding depending on what area of the country we want to hit. So, pass that on to your American counterparts. That will give them lots to work on and worry about! More to come.

Oh, yes, I hope you are enjoying the view of all the new smaller version windmill turbines popping up all over the country, but especially in Ontario. That government has bought in hook, line & sinker to this wind power hocus pocus. Their indebtedness to the Chinese companies we are in collaboration with has also made it easier to proceed. The newest versions at Montreal River between Wawa and Sault Ste. Marie, and at the Mile Hill near the Soo are now under our control. They don't provide a huge shift in air flow, but it all helps in the bigger scheme of things. Enjoy the view. And think of the financial impact they will have, now that they are operational!

And the good they will do for the environment – don't forget that, eh!? Ha, ha!”

In closing, get ready for what's coming. You ain't seen anything yet! Cheers!"

Thankfully the paper realized the national and international implications of this message, and alerted the OPP, who notified us and CSIS. Why this e-mail was sent to this paper, and no one else, is a mystery. Also a mystery is who he actually had wanted to send this message to. Obviously a human error – pressing the wrong key. It obviously was a work in progress, with more editing planning to be done before it was ready to be sent. Technology can also mess things up sometimes for even the most knowledgeable users.

You asked my assessment of whether this is the real thing, or just a hoax – a work of fiction- a joke to try to make light of this lingering winter, along with all the flooding here in Canada and especially in the States. I believe it is not a joke, but a real threat that we must check out, to confirm whether all these claims are valid, or not.

I have alerted our American contacts, and sent them a copy of this message. Now they are starting their own investigation. Their satellites are being re-calibrated to search these areas mentioned. We have given them clearance to fly over our air space to check out these designated locations with their more sophisticated surveillance aircraft.

How they will check out the Siberia sites is up to them.

We have our own reconnaissance planes ready to head out tomorrow, and CSIS is trying to see if they can track down this Anon Ymous. We are not too optimistic, though.

External Affairs has contacted our agents in Russia to see what they can find out more about this 'master plan' that is mentioned. So far no luck, but it has only been a few

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

days. Hopefully we can clear this up before they can put it into full implementation, if it is indeed accurate. I will send you an update as soon as more information is obtained.

We will be following this story as events develop. But now a tie in with this story.

Here is a follow-up report from our meteorologist, Melanie McGarry, about the severe weather in the southern States with the heavy rain causing severe flooding and tornadoes occurring today and more forecast for the next three days.. Melanie...”

“Thanks, Jack. Yes, the States are being hit again with heavy rain, flooding, and tornadoes. The mountains of Colorado and the mid-west are expecting heavy snowfall of over 10 cm. They are getting whacked with the whole gamut of weather over the next few days. Canada is not immune either. Vancouver is expecting heavy rain again.

The mountain passes around Whistler will get at least 20 cm of blowing snow, which will make for treacherous driving conditions. There is also an avalanche risk in the same area too. Calgary and Edmonton will get hit from this same system coming in off the Pacific by tomorrow.

The rest of the Prairies and Ontario will experience cool temperatures with strong gusty winds for the next two days, followed by snow as this system rolls through from the West. By the weekend the temperatures will be in double digits for one day, with heavy rain from a system moving up from the Gulf of Mexico. By next week it is cooler temperatures again. The East Coast should prepare for a major Nor'Easter for the weekend.

Wacky weather for sure, and no sign of settling down to normal any time soon.

Back to the anchor desk for more news. This is Melanie McGarry reporting.”.

“This is Jack Windom of CTV with an update of the story we reported about on April 17th. - We have learned that the name of Anon Ymous is in fact Alexander Sawchenko of the Ministry of Science Technology, as he claimed in his e-mail message.

He has been found dead in the East River in New York City. He was executed in typical Russian fashion of torture leading to a welcome death for the victim. We will not be reporting on the grizzly details of his death. It does show that the Kremlin did not appreciate his e-mail sent in error to the Wawa weekly paper, which revealed too much of their 'master plan'. It has certainly lead to several important leads in this ongoing investigation. More details to follow as they become available.” – Wednesday, May 3/17.

OBITUARY

ROBB-SHAW, Shirley Mary Mae Passed away peacefully with family at her side at Kelowna, BC on April 16, 2017 at the age of 84. Shirley is predeceased by her first husband Arthur A. Robb (Wawa 1989) and her second husband Aubrey E. Shaw (Sault St Marie 2005); her brother Lloyd Ferguson; her son Warren Robb and her parents Gordon & Mae (King) Ferguson. Shirley is survived by her sister Murlene Stortini; her children, Terry Robb (Anita), Virginia Robb (Eamonn), Gordon “Chipp” Robb (Emily); 7 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren and will be lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Shirley was a talented artist leaving behind a wonderful legacy for friends and family. Shirley resided in Wawa from 1960 to 1991. After Wawa Shirley moved to Sault Ste Marie where she re-connected with her church, Community of Christ, and was ordained to the office Priest in 1993. Shirley requested no funeral services be held and special requests were passed on to her children.

OBITUARY

DERASP, Ronald E. “Ron” After a long battle with cancer he died peacefully at the Lady Dunn Health Centre on Sunday April 30, 2017 at the age of 66 years. Good friend and ex-husband of Bev Derasp.

Loving father of Ron Jr. (special friend Trudy Becker) and Sharon Reil (husband John) and “special father” of Jen Longpre (Mitch). Proud grandfather of Donovan and Mika. Dear brother of Reggie Derasp (Lynne), Vern Derasp (Diane), late Viola, Lucille (Tal), Aline (Jim), Jeanne (Marcel), Denise (Pat), Romeo (Grace), Rheal (Pauline), Roland (Penny and Robert (Mary-lou).

Ron will be lovingly remembered by his many nieces and nephews.

A private family funeral service was held. Cremation at River’s Edge Cremation Centre. The family would like to thank all of the Doctors, nurses and staff at the Lady Dunn

ROUSSAIN, Norman “OFF WE GO”. This was an often heard comment cheerfully proclaimed by Norman Roussain as he headed out on yet another outing with his family.

It is with deep love and sadness that Cheryl Roussain Nice, Deanna and Craig Roussain, children of Norman Francis Roussain and Caroyl Jo (Carson) Roussain announce Norman’s passing on Friday April 14, 2017. Whilst at the height of enjoying his 97th year involved in outdoor winter activities, making new friends and being nurtured by his family in Red Deer AB, Norman unexpectedly succumbed to lung cancer.

Up to his last days, Norman shared his witty humour and loving hugs with the entire family including Bob Coffey, husband of Deanna, Lynnda Moore, wife of Craig, his grandchildren, Malia and Kelcie Nice, Alida, Jody and Wyatt Roussain and his great grandson Toby Roussain Hope.

In his 96+ years Norman touched the hearts and the minds of so many who remember him with deep respect for his unshakable honesty, his integrity and his fairness. He was a man who looked at life situations from many sides and never had a critical word to say about anyone. His humble demeanour belied an inquisitive, brilliant mind that grasped philosophical concepts well ahead of the times. Growing up, kitchen table talk opened our minds to thought provoking ideas about eternity, infinity, world affaires. Always there was an underlying theme of compassion and a deep understanding of human nature .

Norman impressed all who met him with his witty humour and his spontaneous recitations from memory of complete ballads and poems heard over a lifetime .

Following the passing of his first wife Caroyl Jo (Carson), Norman married Joyce (Westwood) Seyler who also preceded him in death.

Joyce’s daughter Lisa and son in law Paul Wright and their two sons Aiden and Brandon from Sault Ste. Marie share our sadness in saying good bye to this proud, noble man.

Norman, was the second born child of Mabel (Sherlock) and Francis Roussain. He will be missed by his surviving siblings Jack Roussain in Wawa and Marvin Rathbone and Nancy Tibbles from Sault Ste. Marie.

A celebration honouring Norman and his legacy as a member of the long standing Roussain fishermen family will be held at the Legion in Wawa in the fall of 2017.

War Amps Key Tags Could Save Ontario Residents Hundreds Of Dollars Most of us don’t realize how valuable our car keys are until we lose them. In recent years, remote starters and built-in unlock systems have sharply driven up the cost and complexity of the humble car key, with some owners paying hundreds of dollars in replacement fees.

War Amps key tags, going out to Ontario Postal Code “P” residents this week, can help prevent this hit to the wallet and the inconvenience of arranging for new keys.

Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. If you lose your keys, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag or place them in any mailbox, and The War Amps will return them to you by courier, free of charge.

“Car keys are more sophisticated than ever, and replacing one is no longer a quick cheap trip to the hardware store. We have heard from people who

said they would have had to pay anywhere between $200 and $600 had they not had a key tag protecting their key ring,” says War Amps spokesperson Rob Larman.

He emphasizes that key tags are not just for car keys. “They can be used to protect keys for your house, mailbox, or bike.

Many people also attach USB sticks and sentimental items to their key ring and are relieved to have them back.”

“Although the Key Tag Service is free, owners are so grateful when we return their keys that they often make a donation to say thank you, particularly when they’ve avoided hundreds of dollars in replacement fees.”

The Key Tag Service was launched after the Second World War so that returning war amputee veterans could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would gener-
