Comrade Norm Roussain

Legion Leads Community In Remembrance Day - Lest We Forget

Article & photos by Barb Fisher This is the 98th Remembrance Day Ceremony brought to us by our Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 429. Piper Scott McGilvary again led the parade of Legion members and supporters to Queen's Park where wreaths were laid at the base of the Cenotaph in honour of our fallen soldiers before the service continued in the Michipicoten High School hall.

Master of Ceremonies, Comrade Larry Harvey opened the ceremony with welcoming remarks, Advance of the Colours headed by Sargeant at Arms, Master Corporal Del Demary and the singing of our anthem accompanied by pianist Anne Owen. Piper Scott McGilvary provided background music while the wreath laying ceremony decked the stage front in a wave of red and green with many groups, individuals and youngsters paying tribute to our soldiers' sacrifices.

Comrade Harvey praised two of our own World War II heroes present and still very much in our hearts - Comrades Albert Nicholas and Norm Roussain.

Comrade Roussain originates from the Agawa Bay area, and has lived in Wawa since the end of the Second World War, but alas we must wish Norm well as he soon looks forward to his new home in Calgary. We all wish him much happiness and contentment in his new adventure.

Mayor Rody addressed the gathering with poignant remarks directed to everyone, in particular our youth in keeping alive

the values we all share and our debt owing our war heroes. There is no time limit in marking this date and thanks to the dedication of our Legion members, honouring November 11 and all it stands for will never die.

Paula Valois and Dawn Charbonneau, two of our admired performers in song gave a sad, yet hopeful message, "I sing to you because I love and need you. I sing for you so I will not forget you. I will sing you home".

Chaplain, Lorna Chiupka recited a litany with the audience invited to join in, "Let us be makers of peace, fill our hearts with love and respect that will demand justice and peace for all the world."

Comrade Barb Leschishin reiterated that honouring our military heritage is very important to the Legion and to ensure its success, many programs, services and resources are provided to the community by the Legion. Being a business, money is generated by hall rentals, yearly fundraising events such as the poppy fund, fish frys, wing dings and special event celebrations. These fundraising events enable the Legion to give back to organizations in town, and are very proud to support our youth in several Youth Education Programs: poster and literary contests, Remembrance Day video contest, public speaking contest, and yearly bursary awards to graduating students from our high schools.

When exiting the hall, the crowd filed by the collage of thoughts composed by students of Michipicoten High School and pinned on poster boards giving youngsters' perspectives on what Remembrance Day means to them. What a wonderful way to "Never Forget".

After the ceremony everyone was invited to the Legion Hall to enjoy community camaraderie, a great lunch and presentations.

Comrade Harvey presented pins to Legion members acknowledging their service, dedication and hard work: 5 yrs to Margaret Davidson, 20 yrs to Kenny Martin and Verna Matheson, 30 yrs to Toddy Bryan, 35 yrs to Christine Menard and Kenny Miller, 40 yrs to Hunter Lobban and 50 yrs to Jack O'Brien.

of Appreciation were awarded to: Judy Sanchioni-Letterer, Ann Owen-Ice Fishing Derby Committee donation, Helene Scott-Youth Education-poster/ literary/public speaking French Judge, Erin Andrews-50/50 draw, Daniel McCoy-crib score sheets, Joe Opato-WingDing assistance/ fryer, Maury O'Neil-assisting with Accessibility Applications' process, Keith Killins-providing music with the Good Timers, and Scott McGilvary-ceremonial piper. Comrade Joan Page managed to edge Comrade Harvey out of the limelight long enough for her to award a presentation on behalf of all Legion members - a Certificate of Appreciation to Comrade Harvey, the guy that does everything!

Legion Ladies Auxiliary President Brenda Ouellette next took the floor to present a cheque to the Legion generated by this year's fundraising events by members of the Ladies Auxiliary - a whopping $10,000.

What a great contribution and amazing work well done. Brenda also gave great praise to a group of kids from Legion families who took on their own project of gathering toys, activity and comfort items for children battling cancer. The "Junior" Legion Ladies receiving the awards were Meaghan and Abigail Milne, and also their little cousin Jordan Milne who pointed out that he was not a junior lady, but rather accepted his award as a "Junior" Legionnaire.

I suppose in time the stories of conflicts we are familiar with today will inevitably be relegated to the archives and war museums. As borders become less defined and world interaction becomes unified, our children will use advances in electronics, science and space technology to preserve their legacy, but in doing so we must not lose sight of the essence that makes us all human. In closing I came upon a quote that seems to fit our collective sentiment: "In mourning the heroes of our past who died, we should be grateful that such heroes lived!"

We had a good Remembrance Day and we have to thank all those Comrades and supporters who helped to make this day a success. A big thank you to our President Larry Harvey and all the executives. Also to our Legion Ladies Auxiliary for their help - especially for the arrangement of the food at the hall after the wreath laying ceremony at MHS. We thank our Piper, Mrs. Anne Owen and our own Ms. Chipka and Barb Leschishin for her inspirational

Letters to the Editor...

Dear Editor: I would like to take a moment to thank all the brave souls who come to Michipicoten First Nation and walk our haunted trail. The youth council and all involved appreciate all who come and we must admit that it is a lot of fun scaring you all. We would also like to thank all our sponsors, and to name names, Black Thunder Enterprises, Home Building Center, Rick Labbe and JJAM FM, Subway, Canadian Tire, Confederation College, Tim Horton’s, The Algoma News and home Depot all contribute in their own special way and help make the trail possible. We are very thankful for your support and all monies raised goes toward the Youth council, Youth and Elders Gathering and our annual Pow-wow. We also appreciate all the great comments we have received from participants this year on our efforts put into the trail. The trail is built, decorated and run by mostly the youth of Michipicoten First Nation and a handful of dedicated adults who enjoy this event more than the money it brings in. I, Marcel Lewis would like to express my appreciation for the efforts, ideas and dedication of these individuals.

I am very proud of each person’s contributions.

In conclusion, we thank everyone who operates the trail, everyone who comes to enjoy the trail, and a very big thank you to all our sponsors.

With that said, “we can’t wait till next year.”

address.

We also thank all Wawa citizens who wore a Poppy and supported our cause with their purchase of wreaths and donations.

Our friend and supporter Cindy donated a nice display which will be on display in the lounge for all to see.

Our busy ladies are having another dinner on Thursday and a monthly luncheon on November 24th. Come on down!

The boy and a student come late to school to take his exam.

The teacher says to him, "OK you may begin but when time is up you turn it into me ready

or NOT!" When time was up all the students turned in their paper except the late one. He worked for another 20 mins. and then got up with his paper to give it to the teacher. So the teacher says, "You are too late and cannot turn in your paper."

So the student asks, "Sir do you know who I am. The teacher says, "No, and I don't care!"

"Fine," says the boy and shoves his paper between all the papers on the desk.

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.

Opinions, or observations from an old newsman

- by Bob Avis

Things That Shorten Life

You know that sinking feeling you get when you glance up at your rear view mirror and see a police cruiser very close behind, flashing his red and blue lights at you? You immediately feel guilty of something even if you weren’t doing anything.

You are walking out the back door and you purposefully slam it shut behind you to make sure it’s locked, and just as it clicks shut you notice you didn’t switch your keys to this coat this morning?

Or you order lunch at the restaurant, eat it, and then discover you didn’t pick up the twenty dollar bill you wife left for you to go to lunch? You don’t even have your credit cards in your pocket!

Well, I had that feeling recently when I happened to glance at my hand and my wedding ring was missing!!! It wasn’t so much that it was gone, or that it was of such significant value that it couldn’t be replaced. But the terrifying thought that circled in my mind was, “Oh god! My wife is gonna kill me!”

Suddenly, wild thoughts started going through my mind.

I was just finishing lunch downtown and I started frantically looking around my table and on the floor. I couldn’t have eaten it, I would have noticed.

When did I last see it? I think I remember seeing it on my finger last week. Where have I been since then? Oh lord! She’s gonna skin me alive.

I walked back home, scanning the sidewalk from side to side. I must have looked like an old hobo looking for cigarette butts. I wondered if I had lost my ring in the bedding last night. First place I’ll look when I get home. I hope I didn’t lose it down the drain when I washed up this morning. Or worse yet, down the toilet. Gone forever if that’s what happened.

As I walked into the house I found Debra was already home form work. Oh crap! What’ll I tell her? I got mugged!! Check my pockets again. What’ll I do?? My brain isn’t working.

I can’t think of a thing. Guess I’ll have to bite the bullet and tell her.

“Debra, I’ve lost my wedding ring (Gulp!)”.

The most peculiar smile played briefly over her face. I thought, “Ok. Ok. This could be worse than I thought”.

She held out her hand and there in her palm lay my wedding band. Apparently she noticed it in the bottom of the bathtub laying on the rubber anti-slip mat where I had showered that morning. It must have come off in the soapy water.

“I thought of giving you a hard time about it”, she said.

“But when I saw how upset you were, I decided against teasing you”.

It’s a good thing. She might have shortened my life considerably.

World Diabetes Day

Monday, November 14th is World Diabetes Day. The International Diabetes Federation has chosen the theme of ‘Eyes on Diabetes’ for World Diabetes Day 2016. This theme is about the importance of screening to ensure early diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and treatment to reduce the risk of serious complications.

Did you know?

• Over 400 million adults were living with diabetes in 2015 and this number is expected to increase to around 642 million or one in ten adults by 2040.

• One in two adults with diabetes is undiagnosed.

• Many people live with type 2 diabetes for a long period of time without being aware of their condition.

By the time of diagnosis, diabetes complications may already be present.

The risk factors for type 2 diabetes: There are several risk factors for diabetes: being overweight, being over the age of 40, having prediabetes, having gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) and/or giving birth to a large baby, having a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes, being a member of a high risk ethnic group (Asian, African, or Aboriginal), having high cholesterol and/or hypertension, being on certain medications, and more. Some of these risk factors cannot be changed, such as age or ethnicity, but you do have the power to engage in healthier behaviours (such as

Wednesday, November 16th, 2016

eating healthy and exercising) to help manage your weight or lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. If you are overweight, losing a modest amount of weight, such as 10lbs, can help to reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes greatly.

How you can be screened for type 2 diabetes: If you are over the age of 40, and/or have some of the risk factors listed above, it is time to ask your doctor to send you for blood work to be screened for diabetes.

If you have type 2 diabetes: If you are currently living with type 2 diabetes, continue to engage in healthy behaviours such as regular physical activity, following a healthy diet according to Canada’s Food Guide, and managing stress. Controlling your blood sugar can help to reduce your risk (or delay the progression) of the complications of diabetes. Keeping up with your scheduled blood work and annual eye and foot care appointments are important because that is how your healthcare provider will know if you are starting to develop the complications of diabetes (and then they can provide the appropriate treatment).

The team at the North Algoma Diabetes Education Program is available to meet with you on a regular basis to provide the support that you may need to manage your diabetes. This team includes a Diabetes Nurse Educator, a Registered Dietitian, and a Footcare Nurse. To book your appointment call Renée Mellish at 705-856-2335 ext. 3108.

I hear that the Legion is hosting a Christmas dinner for seniors on Sunday, November 27, 2016. The cost is $15 and getting on the list will require a contact with the Legion. It is a popular event and doing so soon is advised.

What Is Elder Abuse?

Elder Abuse is defined by the World Health Organization as “a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress to an older person.”

Elder abuse often occurs when there is an imbalance of control. The abuser either limits or takes control over the rights and freedoms of the senior. The abuse/violence is used to intimidate, humiliate, coerce, frighten or simply to make the senior feel powerless.

Elder abuse or elder mistreatment is a multidimensional phenomenon, that encompasses a broad range of behaviors, events, and circumstances. Unlike random acts of violence or exploitation, elder abuse does not always occur as an isolated incident; rather it is recurrent in up to 80% of cases.

How many Ontarians are facing elder abuse?

Elder abuse is a serious and growing problem, although the magnitude and extent of the elder abuse cases occurring in Canada is not well known,

Sir James Dunn Public School

Newsflash

due to limited data collected and unreported cases. North American studies indicate that between 2 and 10 per cent of older adults will experience some type of elder abuse or neglect each year.

There are currently 2 million seniors aged 65 and over, or 14.6 per cent of the population who reside in Ontario.

Based on studies that indicate two to ten percent of seniors are abused, there are between 40,000 and 200,000 seniors living in Ontario who have experienced or are experiencing elder abuse.

Ontario is also facing a significant demographic shift, according to Ministry of Finance Census Data. The number of seniors over 65 is projected to more than double in Canada or in Ontario to almost 4.2 million, or 24.0

Page 5

per cent, by 2036. Given the significant growth increase of seniors, it is imperative that we take action to prevent and assist seniors who are at risk and are experiencing abuse, otherwise between 84,000 and 420,000 seniors could be affected in the future!

Help For Seniors Seniors Safety Line (SSL) The SSL provides contact and referral information for local agencies across the province that can assist in cases of elder abuse. Trained counsellors also provide safety planning and supportive counseling for older adults who are being abused or at-risk of abuse. Family members and service providers can also call for information about community services.

NEWS On Sat., Nov. 12th, the PeeWee's played against Porcupine Gold Kings in Wawa.

They lost the first game 6-1 and tied the second game 3-3.

Sir James Dunn Public School is very fortunate to have a group of dedicated teachers and students who like to make a difference in their school. Halloween Day was no exception. The newly formed Spirit Club under the direction of Ms. Russell and Ms. Portis worked very hard to organize the Annual Halloween Extravaganza. The day started with the Annual Fashion Show and the costumes were amazing! Then the students rotated through several Halloween stations.

The Grade 7/8's yet again, did a wonderful job on the Haunted Town. It is probably

one of the events that everyone looks forward to each year. The Bake Sale was filled with so many creative, sweet and yummy treats. The Spirit Club thanks all of the SJD families for their donations.

The students also enjoyed several games such as Pin the Wart on the Witch, Witches Hat Ring Toss, Witches Broom Limbo and Halloween dancing.

The Grade 4/5 class spent part of their afternoon visiting the Long Term Care Residents at the hospital. The students were greeted by Mr. Matthew Trudeau who first explained a few hospital rules.

The residents enjoyed watching all of the students in their costumes. They were also treated to two musical performances. Mr. Trudeau had the students do a Halloween craft and then treated them with some delicious pumpkin loaves. The Grade 4/5 students thank the residents for a wonderful afternoon.

Minister’s Medal Honouring Excellence In Health Quality and Safety: Team-Based Initiative At The North East LHIN Virtual Critical Care Unit The Lady Dunn Health Centre was presented with the Minister’s Medal Honouring Excellence in Health Quality and Safety from the collaboration with Health Sciences North (HSN) and the North East LHIN in the use of the Virtual Critical Care (VCC) Unit.

The VCC unit uses the latest in videoconferencing technology and electronic medical records sharing to connect HSN with smaller critical care units and emergency departments at hospitals across northeastern Ontario.

The VCC model uses a specially designed software pro-

gram created by the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN), with the coordination of consults provided through CritiCall Ontario. It is the first virtual critical care unit of its kind in Canada.

VCC provides smaller rural hospitals with aroundthe-clock access to a team of intensive care physicians, specially trained nurses and intensive care unit respiratory therapists based at HSN. Further, VCC builds the critical care experience and skill of clinicians in smaller rural hospitals.

Barbarians At The Gate We sit by and watch the barbarian. We tolerate him in the long stretches of peace, we are not afraid. We are tickled by his irreverence; his comic inversion of our old certitudes and our fixed creed refreshes us; we laugh. But as we laugh we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond, and on these faces there are no smiles.”

- Hilaire Belloc I know I need to get out more, but the fact is in the hellish two-year-long buildup to the November 8 U.S. election, I personally encountered only one person who openly supported Donald Trump – and even he was apologetic about it.

I'm writing this in the early hours of November 10, 2016.

Really early hours. I couldn't sleep -- once again.

Make no mistake: we are living through one of the seminal moments of our brief passage here on earth. The U.S.election of 2016 is one of the most critical flash-points of our lives. The Nine-Eleven of Democracy in America. Voters in a country that likes to call itself the greatest in the world has opted for the politics of Fear, Hate, Greed, Dishonesty, Racism, Misogyny and Bullying.

All the values we want our kids to embrace.

One image keeps rolling through my brain. An e-mail I got from France that shows a close-up of the head of the Statue of Liberty. She has her face in her hands, weeping.

“Give me your tired”, the statue's famous poem reads, “your poor, Your huddled masses yearning

to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest -tost to me I lift my lamp behind the golden door!”

The Statue was a gift from the French people to the USA back in 1886.

The French people are asking America to send her back.

Some people are beginning to adjust to the new reality. I overheard someone say that the President-Elect was 'gracious' in his acceptance speech.

Gracious? No, he was not being gracious. The man was, as always, spewing shit.

Trump lies as effortlessly as he breathes. This spectacularly repulsive, sexually predacious, contract-stiffing, four-timesbankrupt, bragging, sneering troll who has never served as so much as a dog-catcher in public office is about to pocket the keys to the Oval Office.

A narcissistic man-child with the temperament of an eightyear-old is about to assume the biggest, most demanding job in the world.

Civilizations down through history have faced this situation before. Party-crashers called Visigoths. Mongols. Vandals.

Huns. Historically the barbarians showed up as mobs led by pretty fearsome chieftains – scruffy, scarred armor-clad brutes astride warhorses.

Barbarians at the gate. This time the leader wears a silk suit, a fake tan and a cheap hairpiece. And he didn't even have to knock.

He's been inside the gates all along.

With Jim White

A Moose Hunting Mystery

This is a story about our moose hunting excursion back during the second weekend of November, 2006. I was only eighteen, and it was my first time to be included in this yearly ritual. Me, my father and his buddies – Harvey, Roger, Keith, and Marty took the day off from school and work on Friday. We wanted to have a nice long weekend to make a serious attempt to get our moose. The previous weekend when we were scouting the area, we saw nothing, not even any tracks.

We got to our camp late in the afternoon. It wasn't the 'Ritz-Carlton' fancy, or that big either, but it was comfortable.

There were two bedrooms, the kitchen and a small living room space. It was located about 200 km northeast of town on a small lake.

We got all our supplies, food, etc. unloaded. The propane stove was primed and ready to go to make supper. A fire was lit in the fireplace to throw off some heat to take the dampness out.

The weather was cloudy, but it was mild. We ate supper, got our gear ready for the morning, and then about eight we settled in to play cards and have a few beers. About eleven we called it a night, and got ready for bed.

I fell asleep quickly, and slept right through the night.

Dad was the first to stir Saturday morning. It was still dark outside, although there was a faint hint of light on the horizon. He told me it was time to get up. I reluctantly unzipped my sleeping bag, and quickly got dressed, as it was now quite cool and damp in the camp. Before long, everyone else stumbled out of bed, and there was lots of yawning, stretching, and moaning about headaches from Friday night.

Everybody finally got moving, but we were later getting on our way than we had planned for.

It was nearly ten that Saturday morning before we headed out.

It was a sunny, bright morning, and it promised to be a beautiful warm November day. It was not ideal hunting weather, but that was OK with me, considering what it could have been.

Anyway, we spread out, and selected our spots around a swampy area at the far end of the lake, about a kilometer away from our camp. It turned out to be a slow day, with no fresh signs of any moose in the area at all. Around one in the afternoon, I ate my packed lunch, after which I dozed off in the afternoon sun. I noticed Dad off in the distance had done the same. I couldn't see the others, but I suspected they had also done the same, even though they denied it later when we got back to the camp. We hung in there until five, before calling it a day.

We had supper, and settled in for another night of cards and

beer. I would have kept playing that night, but the guys were all tired, and broke up the game early. By eleven everyone was making their way to bed.

I went outside to relieve myself, and noticed that it was turning cooler, and the wind was picking up. I looked up at the sky and saw that it had clouded over. I stumbled back to the camp, feeling the effects of the beer. I settled in. Dad had been sitting on the edge of the couch, waiting for me to get to bed so he could turn out the lights. I called out good night to him, and immediately fell asleep.

It was Dad again that woke me up that Sunday morning as he got out of bed to begin the process of getting breakfast ready, and rounding up everyone. This morning, surprisingly, we were up by six, and had breakfast over and were ready to head out for our last day for this weekend by seven. Marty, our weather expert, went outside to check the weather. He came back in to tell us that it looked like it was going to be a cold, windy day, with some rain or maybe even some wet snow likely by the afternoon. So we decided to get going, and get as much hunting done before it did turn miserable.

Besides, we needed to be ready to leave the camp by four, in order to get home before dark.

So we headed out to our same spots as yesterday. We were encouraged by our chances today, as there were fresh tracks along the trail that we followed yesterday. The morning became quite heavily clouded which made it as 'dark as night', as the saying goes. There was no basking in the sun this day.

We all had our coats on, and our rain gear ready in our pack sacks, and a thermos of hot coffee.

Around noon, it started to drizzle rain. Before long it became mixed in with wet snow. By about two o'clock, snow was beginning to accumulate on the ground. Dad and I were on the verge of calling it a day when we heard the snort off in the distance. Dad used his moose call to attract him.

The sound came closer. Dad returned the call once more.

Then out of nowhere charged this huge bull moose, with an amazing rack of antlers. We were a few hundred meters apart, up on this ridge overlooking the swamp. Below us was the trail that had the fresh tracks. It suddenly stopped right between us, and raised its' head, glaring at Dad. He raised his shotgun and fired a shot. I had a good chance to fire a shot too, as it's side was facing me, but if I missed, I would have shot Dad instead. So I held off, and let Dad take the shot. I saw it hit his chest. I was sure that would have made it drop dead on the spot. But all it did was

make it raise its' head, and blare the most ungodly sound of fury that I have ever heard. Then it began to head off down the path, away from where the others were stationed. We scrambled down the ridge to reach the path, and ran after it. We caught up to it shortly. Dad fired another shot at it, and he hit it right in the neck – a great shot, for sure. It dropped to the ground immediately, and gave one loud snort, before a big sigh came from his lungs, and died.

We were so excited as we examined him up close. There was going to be lots of meat for everyone. The head was worthy of being mounted. Dad commented on this right away.

“Won't that look great on the wall over the fireplace in our den, Jim!” I agreed wholeheartedly, and delighted that he finally called me Jim, instead of Jimmie. The first time – a milestone, I noted. Maybe now he will finally think of me as a man, I hoped.

Then Dad began figuring out how we were going to get our prize hauled back to the camp to get it strung up for the gutting process. I fired three quick shots in the air to alert the others to find their way to us.

Shortly they were all gathered around, and were as excited as us.

Keith was the only one who had a four-wheeler. He had the ropes and chains with him, too, so it didn't take long to get our moose onto our makeshift log platform, and back to camp.

Dad had the hoist already built, so it didn't take long to get him strung up, and covered with a tarp. By that time, it was nearly dark, and it was snowing really hard. A good two inches had fallen, and it looked like a lot more was going to be coming.

So we quickly packed up, and left the camp about six-thirty that Sunday night, a lot later than we had wanted to. It was a slow drive out our road, as the snow was coming down so fast it made it hard to see. We had to keep our headlights on low to see better. The windshield wipers were on the go all the time.

Finally, though, we got out to the highway, and headed left back to town. By then there was at least 4” of snow on the road.

There were tracks where at least one vehicle had gone earlier, heading into town. But there was none on the other side, heading from town until about ten kilometres down the highway when we finally passed the first vehicle going that way. It was a black half-ton truck, and it was hauling a trailer. But the rest of the way into town, we only met two other vehicles heading out. We came up on about six cars creeping along towards town. We followed them in a convoy, and got into town about nine o'clock that night. Dad's friends in their two trucks met us back at our house. It was decided to take Monday off work and school, so we could get back to camp and get our prize gutted. I also remembered that I had left my shotgun in the kitchen, propped up against the wall near the door. In our rush to get out, I forgot it. Dad wasn't happy

when I told him that.

So Monday morning, we all headed back to camp. There was a good 8” of fresh snow in the area since the previous night. Once we had turned onto our road into camp, Dad immediately noticed that there was an extra set of tracks, despite being covered by a layer of snow. He knew they were not ours from last night, as they were wider than ours. Dad commented that it looked like a trailer, and that they were fairly fresh. He picked up speed, and it became a bumpy ride. He feared that someone else had been in, and that our prize may be gone. The other two trucks soon caught up to us, as they also realized that this didn't look good.

Our worst fears were realized as we drove up to the camp. We all jumped out of our trucks, and scrambled over to the hoist.

We just stared at the dangling chain. Our bull moose was gone. We could see where it had been hauled over the snow to the waiting trailer.

We all roamed around the outside perimeter of the cabin, looking for clues, footprints, our moose – anything to explain this. We were just so dazed.

We couldn't believe our eyes, indeed did not want to believe it could have happened.

I got the keys to the cabin from Dad so I could get my shotgun before we headed back to town to report this theft. I was surprised when the door opened before I could turn the key. I slowly opened the door, dreading what I was going to find inside. I immediately turned to my right to grab my shotgun. I became sick to my stomach when I saw that it was gone.

I frantically searched the rest of the rooms, but it was not there. It had been stolen too.

Dad was going to kill me for being so careless as to leave it behind yesterday. He was furious too, at first. But then to my surprise and relief, he calmed down and consoled me by adding that maybe this was a good thing as they might catch these guys quicker with something solid like a serial number to trace, plus having my name etched on the butt of the shotgun would help too.

The others had also come in by then. It was Marty who noticed the note on the kitchen table. He read it out loud: 'Thanks for the free gifts. We can make good use of the moose and the shotgun. Saw you coming out of your road last night. We just reckoned that you must have been in there hunting, so we went in to check it out. What a delightful surprise. Thanks for leaving the door unlocked too. Thanks for the food and coffee as well.

We had a good supper in here.

But we must say, you should be more careful about leaving things around like you did. But anyway, thanks. Tough luck, boys! Maybe you'll do better next year. Cheers! Your new best friends.'

Marty noticed the dirty dishes in the sink, and came up with the idea about fingerprints being still on them. So he wrapped some of the mugs and

plates in a towel. “There will be fingerprints on these. That should help the cops and C.O.'s out, eh.” We all agreed - smart thinking. We looked around for any other clues, but didn't notice anything else that would help out. So we locked up the cabin this time for sure, and headed back to town.

The investigation began.

Nothing happened for the first few days. But on the next Sunday afternoon, one of the CO's came to our house with both good and bad news. The whole gang were here watching the football game on TV. The good news was that they had found my shotgun. He admitted it was pure luck. They were on a routine patrol Saturday afternoon, and were checking this party of hunters for shotgun and license compliance. It matched mine. Having my name etched on it made it undeniable. Was I ever thankful to Dad at that moment for telling me to do that. But when the CO told us who the culprits were, we were shocked.

We never expected it would be somebody we knew. It turned out to be Roger's ex brother-inlaw, Nathan McCormack, and a couple of his friends. It was ex, thanks to Nathan's recent bitter divorce from Roger's sister, Stella. He realized this was revenge as part of that mess, as he had testified about the abuse that Nathan had inflicted on Stella over the years. Somehow he had learned that he had gone hunting with us, and decided to check out how successful we were in getting our moose.

When Roger learned about that, his first comment was: “I knew that I recognized that black truck hauling that trailer, from last weekend - you know the one we passed heading out of town just after we got onto the highway. Why didn't I think of it sooner! Well, I hope they lock him and his buddies up and throw away the keys. I never liked him, and I knew he was no good, the way he treated Stella, and especially after the hard time he gave her throughout the divorce proceedings.

She is lucky to be rid of him.”

The rest of us just let him blow off some steam. We all felt the same way, too, but didn't want to say anything. After all, that was a family matter.

Then he broached the second reason he was there to see us.

We were charged with hunting illegally, since we didn't have a bull tag. Our moose that we worked so hard for was gone, seized at Nathan's garage by the Crown. At least Nathan and his friends didn't get it either. What a waste though. Such a prize animal! In court later we pleaded guilty, and had to pay a hefty fine, as well as being banned from hunting for two years.

That took care of this year and next. So all in all, last year sure turned out to be a bust. This year has been just as bad, especially since have we spotted all kinds of tracks near our camp, and also seeing several moose within an easy shooting range – a sure hit. Only what if.....

“Carrying the message of Love” with Joan Brooks

Change - A Direction For Love And Unity Our closest neighbor and their two governing parties have spent the past year or more in the nastiest election campaign ever held within North America.

It is a beautiful day on this Saturday morning. The sun is shining brightly, the November winds are sharing their might, and for sure they are bringing in the ‘winds of Change’.

Our world has just received a strong message that it is time for Change. You may not agree with the way the message was delivered or the messenger, yet the urgent plea for Change is clear. The question now is what will that Change look like? Will it be a Change for more fear and a greater sense of separation as

is evident by the current protest marches across the USA, or will it be in the direction of Love and unity?

For myself, I choose Love and Unity. As many of us were glued to the TV and other news sources we prayed for this amazing country we share borders with, while this nastiness played itself out. And while I trusted that the world was unfolding as it should, there were times when my Self world felt rocked to the core. It is now four days later and my world righted itself and all is Good! Right? Of course it is. The sun still shines, the wind still blows, my walk this morning reflected an awesome reality and I AM so grateful for this awesome Universe I

inhabit. However there are millions of others who are trying to come to grips with what has happened.

Leslie Holmes, 65, said "I don't want to live in a country where my friends aren't included, and my friends are fearful, and my children are going to grow up in a world that's frightening, and my granddaughters can look forward to being excluded from jobs and politics and fulfilling their potential…" Nadia Gavino, 25, learned about the rallies on Twitter and protested Thursday evening. Gavino, whose father is from Peru and whose mother is of Mexican and Lithuanian heritage, said she took Trump's harshest statements about immigrants and Latinos personally. "I obviously agree that he's racist, he's sexist, he's phobic, he's misogynistic. He's all these things you don't want in a leader."

Ashley Lynne Nagel, 27, said she joined a Thursday night

see long term insecurity and a strong and varied difference of opinion regarding where the Truth lies.

Why do we not see ourselves as a leader every bit as powerful and capable of initiating Change? WE have that Power within us. What will it take for each of us to come together and declare the kind of world we want to create? The world is clamoring for Change. They are looking for a savior. We understand that we are being helped and guided by the most powerful force in the universe. Yet the only savior in our life is YOU. WE are capable of shifting our lives and sharing our light in a way that provides a beacon of hope in the apparent darkness of our world. Now more than ever is a time for YOU and I to stand up and shine our light together with confidence and power. The world needs our light now more than ever. ‘til next time…this is Joan

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.

demonstration in Denver. "I have a leader I fear for the first time in my life," said Nagel, a Bernie Sanders supporter who voted for Hillary Clinton. "It's not that we're sore losers," she said. "It's that we are genuinely upset, angry, terrified that a platform based off of racism, xenophobia and homophobia has become so powerful and now has complete control of our representation."

We can all agree with the above women whose Path has been sorely tested. Panache Desai offers this opportunity to ease the pain. “Speak the language of the Universe by practicing radical gratitude. When you open to the limitless love, abundance, and connection you realize that the opportunities for your expansion are truly limitless.”

Last Week's Answers

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A family member may perform a (seemingly) spontaneous act of generosity or selflessness. You’ll form closer bonds with aloof family through pursuing mutual goals. Don’t let others tell you what to think or to do! You are a unique and passionate individual.

Let your voice be remembered!

You are valued and beautiful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s time to put in your two cents’ worth. Be original. You are worth your weight in gold, and others know it! It’s not the right time to protest any work or opinions that deal with your boss or higher-ups at this time. Focus upon what you intuit or recall that needs to be done and you’ll be rewarded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Others are fascinated by your stories and worldly wisdom. Focus upon foreign interests. Time may tell which way things will eventually go for you after decisions, talks, and events. If you are a moral person then expect to be rewarded later on because of it.

You are a noble sort and will do much to remain moral.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s a good time to surround yourself with people as loyal, clever, and trustworthy as you are. Others will have your best interests at heart. Avoid snobby or boorish types of company. Cultivate friendships with kind, interesting sorts. You’re an important and influential person. Others will empathise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You

will soon find out something uniquely beautiful regarding the love of your life. Romance and passion are in the stars. As long as you remain on a grounded path, whilst pursuing your fantasies and dreams, it’s alright if there are things that you know but do not completely understand. Accept differences.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t feel guilty if you have to play on the feelings of those who might be able to give you the most in the shortest period of time. You are able to sympathize and empathize. You should feel free to use your conscience, morals, and feelings to motivate you to action! It’s a great weekend to host a get-together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You deserve all the rewards for your recent hard work. Secrets and private issues may become public, but, it’s okay to show how unique and kind you can be. You are stronger and smarter than you sometimes get credit for. Cut yourself a break and have some fun. Not all risks are foolhardy, after all. Congratulations!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Truth comes in many forms, but you are sometimes not entirely sure how to convey the message you wish to relate. You are strong!

There may be someone you care very much for that you lacked the courage or motivation to approach in the past. Turn over a new leaf and show just how bold and charming you really can be!

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

What seems hard at first will turn out to be a true pleasure in the end. What you love is really worth it, just you wait and see!

There are many things that you are more capable at (and of) than many of your closest friends and companions. Move forward, no matter what is going on, right now-Plan for the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Something truly beautiful may inspire you to do something wildly romantic. Take a chance and be yourself. What happens now might seem familiar at first but may turn out to be less common than originally thought. Others find out something unexpected or somewhat surreal about you.

Prepare for good news and praise this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Just because someone doesn’t understand everything, doesn’t mean that they may not understand a little bit, and it certainly doesn’t mean they won’t help out when asked. Dreams and fey feelings might follow you. It’s a time of love, nurturing, passion, ardour, intuition, memories, and understanding. Follow your dreams.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s not very common for you to hang around with adventurous or risktaking sorts, but it’s alright to be carefree, every so often. Don’t let silly superstitions get in the way of you doing your job. Try to remain grounded and enlightened. You are a solid island and a safe harbour in stormy seas and uncertain places.

Suggestions to bring for keeping our shelves well stocked include Kraft Dinner, instant oatmeal packages, brown beans, soups, pasta sauce, pasta or peanut butter. Thank you in advance for your support.

Watch and listen for further information from our local media sponsors Algoma News Review, MyAlgoma.ca and JJAM FM.

News From The Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation

A New Look For The LDHC Foundation Donor Boards Coming Soon!

The Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation Donor Boards will be soon updated and have a new look. The changes will include colour, additional space for donor names and more functionality that will serve the Foundation and supporters well into the future. The changes will be completed early in the new year.

As a result of this project, the Foundation has postponed the

annual Donor Recognition program until spring of 2017.

For more information about making a donation or the upcoming Donor Recognition Celebration please contact Crystal Lutz at clutz@ldhc.com or 705-856-2335 ext. 3219.

Thank you for supporting the LDHC Foundation.
