OPP Remind The Public To Keep Informed Of Current Frauds/Scams (WAWA, ON) - On Thursday November 9, 2017 members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Superior East Detachments were made aware of several different types of frauds/ scams in the Wawa area.

As a result of recent complaints, police would like to remind the public that you have to do your homework prior to giving any personal information or money to anyone. Below are some recent scams reported, however we have to remember that new ones are created every day.

Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Scam If you receive a fraudulent communication by email, phone, text, mail, from someone that claims to be the CRA and they request personal information, these are scams and never respond.

The CRA will never send you a link and ask you to divulge personal or financial information.

These scams may insist that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or a benefit payment. Cases of

fraudulent communication could also involve threatening or coercive language to scare individuals into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Ask yourself: I'm I expecting more money from the CRA? Does this sound too good to be true?

Is the requester asking for information I would not provide in my tax return?

Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me?

Grandparent or Emergency Scam In a typical "emergency" scam, the victim receives a phone call or e-mail from someone claiming to be a friend or relative, like a grandchild in distress. The caller or e-mailer goes on to indicate that they are in some kind of trouble, such as being in a car crash, they need money for bail, or they are having trouble returning from a foreign country. The fraudster specifically asks that the victims to not tell other relatives. You may get a call from two people, one pretending to be your grandchild and the

other pretending to be either a police officer or a lawyer.

Your "grandchild" asks questions during the call, getting victims to volunteer personal information. Victims (often seniors) generally don't verify the story until after their money has been sent through a wire transfer service or they have given access to personal banking or credit card information to criminals.

Counterfeit Money Scam The OPP would like to warn the public about fake bills.

The OPP, have received a complaint from a local business about fake $100 bills.

The OPP are advising that the poor quality copies don't retain the print from its synthetic polymer surface, also known as plastic money.

Residents and businesses are reminded to check bills carefully during every transaction. If you suspect a bill may be counterfeit, report it to police immediately.

It 's that time of year again.

Legion News Yes the wind was cold and the snow came fown but a contingent of Veterans legion members Firemen and police marched to the cenotaph on November 11 and wreaths were laid. Then they marched to MHS and a nice ceremony was held and some more wreaths were placed by the small cenotaph. Our faithful piper Piped the march and also during the ceremony.

Our Poppy Chairman and past President was the MC and did a nice job as usually.

And I was very proud to have my Grandson Sergeant Bill Veldt lay a wreath and even spoke impromptu about his life in the armed forces and his experience when serving in the Sinai desert with troops from many countries.

Yes it was nice and made me think back to 1945 when I met my first Canadian soldier and now I am the father and Grandfather of retired and still serving CAF members.

So this makes me feel good On behalf of the Branch we like to thank all those businesses and Wawa citizens who supported our Poppy Campaign and made donations to our cause to help all veterans and dependants OLD or YOUNG as we have many of our young men and woman still serving at home and all over the world. We thank our Ladies Auxiliary

for their support and donations to the Branch and those who volunteered to distribute poppies at our many locations.

At the luncheon our own Comrade Joan Page was acclaimed Legionnaire of the year and she really deserves this with the many jobs she handles at the Branch.

We also thank our local Radio personalities for the support over the airwaves for our poppy campaign and during the year. And don’t forget to be ready when the tickets for the Xmas dinner dance go on sale.

This private walks into the Colonel’s office and tells him...” I want to be a GENERAL.” So the colonel replied... ARE YOU NUTS!!”

So the young soldier asks....”Is this really necessary?”

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.

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.

Reverend James Evans

Reverend James Evans was a Methodist missionary credited with translating the Cree language and creating the first Ojibway-Cree alphabet. Reverend Evans spent the winter of 1838-1839 at Michipicoten Post.

Born in England in 1801, Evans emigrated to Lower Canada with his family in 1822. In 1828 he accepted a job as a teacher with the Methodist Episcopal Church at the Rice Lake School for Indian Children. While there, he mastered the Ojibway language and began his work on an Ojibway-Cree alphabet, translating hymns and scripture into Ojibway.

Reverend Evans was fascinated with the Ojibway people and their culture.

He enthusiastically accepted the task of a two year tour of the Lake Superior country to meet with its residents and give them guidance and spiritual support.

He spent two winters at the Michipicoten Post while his wife and daughter stayed in Cobourg, Ont. In a letter to his brother dated Feb. 9, 1839, the Reverend relates the difficulties encountered during the long, cold months during a Michipicoten winter.

"This winter has been particularly unfavourable. The snows have been almost incessantly falling from the 19th Oct. until the 1st of January ... the poor fellows on their hunting grounds have in several instances been utterly unable to provide for their families and have come in to the fort to get relief ... and we much fear some may have hungered to death, a misfortune by no means of rare occurrence in this country, for not only the Indians frequently perish, but whole bodies of whites have been hungered to death in some instances. There is an old woman who is now encamped near us who last week ate a pair of snow shoes -- that

is, all the netting which is raw-hide, as also her moccasins, and every bit of leather strap and string which she possessed. In fact we have no very great supply for ourselves -- for in Novr. the boat was lost with 16 barrels of fish on the bar entering the river, and all went to the bottom and a poor fellow with them, and the season was so stormy that 30 barrels more with 300 dry white fish could not be sent down the lake to this post. However we hope not to hunger as we have corn and flour sufficient."

In the summer of 1839, Reverand Evans was appointed minister in Guelph, Ontario. He returned to missionary work soon after and spent a number of years at Norway House in Manitoba.

After bouts of ill health, he returned to England in 1846 and died suddenly soon after.

The Ojibway alphabet created by Evans is still used today. His many letters and journals give us insight into the lives of the 40 families of our Michipicoten First Nation ancestors. Reverend Evans written legacies have become wonderful sources of information on the lifestyle, culture and daily activities at Michipicoten and the early Canadian frontier.

COUNCIL NEWS Article by Barb Fisher

There is a progressive new program offered by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change and Council and Administrators have been working diligently in acquiring any funds available to upgrade our town facilities and machinery. The new Municipal GHG (greenhouse gas) Challenge Fund is a program funded by the proceeds from Ontario's carbon market that aims to support community-led action on climate change. Part of Ontario's Climate Change Action Plan is to fight climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a low-carbon economy.

There are three areas targetted by our Municipality and staff have recommended the

submission of applications under the Municipal GHG Challenge Fund and if funding is granted three projects will proceed: - funding to replace our aging fleet with machinery that produces less greenhouse gas emissions. The Municipality commits to fund up to $80,000 towards the project costs of $160,000 in 2018.

- funding to upgrade building lights to LED lighting and fixtures that produce less greenhouse gas emissions.

The Municipality commits to fund up to $45,000 toward the project costs of $90,000 in 2018.

- funding to upgrade the Community Centre with a new heating system that produces less greenhouse gas

emissions and be overall more efficient. The Municipality commits to fund up to $150,000 towards the project costs of $1,500,000 in 2018.

According to the Municipal Act a council member's seat becomes vacant if the council member is absent from meetings of council for three successive months without being authorized to do so by resolution of council.

Councillor Tamara Liddle has not attended a meeting since July 11, 2017 and Council did not authorize her a Leave of Absence during this time, therefore Council affirmed its obligation under the Municipal Act and declared the seat formerly held by Councillor Liddle to now be vacant.

Legion Leads Community In Remembrance Day - We Will Never Forget

Article & photos by Barb Fisher This is the 99th anniversary of the signing of the peace treaty ending the First World War and Wawa's remembrances are brought to us once again by our Royal Canadian Legion Branch 429.

Piper Scott McGilvary 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 Sergeant at Arms, Del Demary and the singing of our anthem accompanied by pianist Anne Owen followed. 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 addressed the gathering with poignant remarks directed to everyone, in particular our youth in keeping the values we all share and the debt owing our war heroes. It is 100 years that the battles of Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele demonstrated to the world Canadian true grit and that our passion for life and freedom will never die. He noted that Canada is a country made up of many ethnic groups and together with

our native indigenous roots Canada is unique in embracing a multicultural family united in one aim, to protect our values and freedom.

Comrade Harvey also had an opportunity to share his message with very young children gathered at the library for an informational sharing of their thoughts on the celebration, and he was heartwarmed at their understanding. He next gave special appreciation to our own Wawa first responders and their professionalism in keeping our community safe: OPP, Volunteer Firefighters and Paramedic Services. Unfortunately with our aging community there is a dire need for people to give of their time to volunteer as a Legion member. Our Legion is a pivotal organization managed by the members in their fundraising efforts which helps out many orgainizations, groups, and individual who need a helping hand.

Anyone who believes this organization to be a good fit in their life, check it out, join the group, enjoy a life of giving back.

Continuing with the program one of the members of our prominent Wawa military family, Bill Veldt had returned home from his posting at CFB Borden to give a first hand accounting of how our young men and women in uniform continue to serve our country.

Next the beautiful lilting voice of Paula Valois also reminded us in song of a message from a soldier passed, one that we must always embrace in the words of a "Travelling Soldier". "Waiting for a sol-

dier to come back again never more to be alone...a soldier's coming home." Chaplain, Lorna Chiupka recited a litany, Dream of a World Peace 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". When exiting the hall, the crowd filed by the collage of thoughts composed by students of Michipicoten High School with teacher Cindy Jozen which adds every year photos and a short bio of our local heroes passed.

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 congratulating them on their service, dedication and hard work: 5 years to Ray Beronette, 10 years to Sam Rowe, 15 years to Larry Harvey, 20 years to Kathleen Brittain, Paul Gerrior, John Matheson and Dave Page, 30 years to Keith Killins and Steve Elliot, 40 years to Tom Oliver and Larry Schneider, and 60 years to Ruth Miller.

Certificates of Appreciation were awarded to the Legion Ladies Auxiliary who provide the main motor keeping the Legion a community focal point, OPP for their escort help for the parade members, Volunteer Firemen for helping the mobility challenged enter the hall, Mark Owen for his electronic and machinery repair expertise in maintaining the Legion building, Andy Stevens for his computer skills, Sam Tremblay for

his electrical troubleshooting, and Bill Premo whose compressor mastery is of utmost important...keeping the beer cold. And the appreciation accolades would not be complete without recognizing the Legionnaire of the Year who quite simply does everything, Joan Page.

Legion Ladies Auxiliary President Brenda Ouellette next took the floor to thank the tireless help from the Ladies and presented a cheque to the Legion generated by this year's fundraising events by the members of the Ladies Auxiliary - a whopping $10,000. Another successful year and amazing work well done.

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: Lest we forget the brave who gave their lives so we could live ours!

With Jim White

A Moose Hunting Mystery This is a story about our moose hunting excursion back during the second weekend of November, 2007. I was only eighteen, and it was my first time to be included in this yearly ritual. I took Friday off school while my father and his buddies – Harvey, Roger, Keith, and Marty took the day off from work. 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 hoped this weekend would be more promising.

We got to our camp late in the afternoon. It wasn't the 'RitzCarlton' 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. I boasted about not having a hangover, to which Harvey reminded me that I only had one beer, and it was just my first ever.

Then he had to remind me that I lost a couple of dollars with the poker game, and I should pay up. The others nodded in agreement, then snickered. I realized they were just putting me on, but I declared to them to wait for tonight, when I would wipe that out, and they would be paying me. They guffawed and said 'we'll see'. With the banter, I think they had accepted me as an equal. But I realized time would tell if that was so, or just a false hope on my part.

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 oth-

ers, 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 it got too 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 laying on it's side. Dad let me take the fatal shot in the neck. I really appreciated that.

But when I went to take that shot I had a momentary reluctance. The eyes caught me off guard as it appeared to plead for a quick end. So I took a deep breath as I pulled myself out of my reverie and did it. It gave one loud snort, before a big sigh came from his lungs, and died.

Dad praised me for an excellent shot, and congratulated me for not being a 'softy about killing an animal. I didn't tell him how close I came to not doing it. We were so excited as we examined him up close. There was going to be lots of meat for everyone. The head with the set of antlers made it 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 Boy. 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 five centimeters had fallen, and it looked like more was 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. Thankfully it was not windy, which would have really made it difficult to see where we were going. 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 10 cm 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 km 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 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. And Mom wasn't happy either when she learned I was going to be out of school for another day, and too that Dad was heading back out. Mom reminded Dad

that the road report was for slow going, with drifting snow and slushy roads. But she relented once she understood why we needed to get back to the camp.

So Monday morning, we all headed back. There was a good amount of fresh snow in the area since the previous night.

Dad and I joked about how wrong the weather forecasters had been, and the roads were in good shape too. 'Leave it to your mother to exaggerate and get all worried for nothing' Dad declared. I heartily agreed. That was the first time I had agreed with him. I think it helped us develop a bond that we never had before. 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 thanks to the blood trail, 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. So he wrapped some of the mugs and plates in a towel.

“There will be fingerprints on

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

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 the CO broached the second reason he was there to see us. We were charged with hunting illegally, since we didn't have a bull tag. We all explained that each other thought they had the tag. It was just a simple misunderstanding, we pleaded, to no avail. 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 a year. That took care of this year. So all in all, last year sure turned out to be a bust. This year of 2008 has been just as bad, especially since have we spotted all kinds of tracks near our camp over the summer and fall. We also saw several moose within an easy shooting distance – a sure hit. It was oh so tempting to shoot a calf at least.

We could surely sneak that by everyone, especially the CO's.

But in the end, we decided it was not worth it. Just wait til 2009, we all optimistically said to convince ourselves...Jim Winston, Nov. 8, 2008

Hockey Player Of The Week - Tanner Robinson

By Barb Fisher, photo supplied Tanner Robinson is starting his hockey experience with much enthusiasm and has already decided that he will hone his reflexes and defend the net. He is 6 years old, attends school at Ecole Saint Joseph and is starting his career as a Timbit with #23 proudly sported on his goalie shirt. The NHL player he is following closely is Carey Price with his favourite team Montreal Canadiens. Tanner's favourite thing about hockey is playing with his friends and in his quest to stop the puck he is working with his teammates in exploring strategies to complement his team.

Timbit skills training is perhaps the most challenging of all the minor hockey categories as the coaches' task requires much patience in developing the players' basic skating skills. Having fun with their peers and encouraging consideration, respect and

team spirit is also introduced in the first years of organized sports and the coaching staff are to be congratulated in their dedication in getting our youngsters on the road to stardom: Head Coach Mike Lavergne, Assistant Coaches Curtis Boychuck, Pat Tait, Eric Lajoie, and Trainers Bill Robinson and Francis Belanger. The Timbits do not skate in competition league games until moving up to the Novice division but the coaching staff are working on organizing some exhibition games for the season with Chapleau.

There is no home game action this weekend, but stay tuned for next weeks' accounting of out-of-town tournament game wins. In the meantime, please support the minor hockey fundraisers: $5,000 prize draw tickets to be drawn April 8 are currently available from every hockey player family for $10 each, and for the last couple of years the purchase of a grocery card fundraiser is catching on as a great dollar for dollar outlay. These cards can be purchased in $50 denominations from all minor hockey team management. There is no added charge and the cards can be used to purchase any goods sold at our John's Valu Mart store and all other participating Loblaws stores with 5% of sales being reimbursed back to our hockey teams. Great hockey experience enabled by fundraisers; it's a fantastic deal!

Wawa Women’s Annual Lori Johnson Memorial Hockey Tournament The Wawa Women’s Hockey Association’s annual hockey tournament has a new name. In honour of Lori Johnson’s dedication to the promotion of our local community and recreation we renamed the tournament the “Annual Lori Johnson Memorial Hockey Tournament”. Lori enjoyed the game and the friendships made during her years as a player, but continued to promote and devote her time to our annual tournaments in an organizational capacity upon retirement. She could always be found behind the scenes devoting countless hours on a busy tournament weekend.

Her spirit will be with us this weekend.

November 17, 18 and 19th is shaping up to be a big weekend with games starting at 7 p.m . on Friday night. There are 8 women’s recreation teams participating. Teams from Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie, Chapleau and two local teams will compete for cash prizes.

The tournament committee will host a dance fundraisers at the community center on Saturday evening, featuring Ritchie Overton with great dance music. The fun starts at 9 p.m. and the theme is “Decades in Time” and is an age of majority event.

The Community Center will be a busy place with the By-Hand Festival running the same weekend.

A perfect weekend; hockey, shopping and dancing! Once again our local businesses have pitched in to make the draws and prizes very attractive. Local support like this is the main reason this Annual Tournament is always a success. The tournament schedule is posted on Wawa Recreation on Facebook so you can keep up and come out to cheer on the local teams.
