Prodigy Gold Holds Open House - Proposed Magino Gold Mine

Magino Project Team (from left to right): Amiel Blajchman, Manager of Prodigy Gold; Vicki McCulloch, Principal of DPRA Canada; William Napier, Vice President of Prodigy Gold; Timm Rochon, CEO of DPRA Canada.

Article and photos by Barb Fisher A great crowd of interested town's folk mingled, listened, asked questions and were pumped to hear Prodigy Gold representatives update us on the latest project overview in moving forward on what promises to be a huge boost in the economies of our and surrounding communities. Bill Napier, Vice President of Prodigy Gold and his team skillfully led a thorough and easy to follow video presentation covering the many aspects of the proposed project.

Questions from the audience were welcomed, but the presentation covered most of the pertinent concerns in the update to this point.

The Magino Mine Project is a proposed open-pit gold mine located approximately 14 km southeast of Dubreuilville and 40 km northeast of Wawa. The life of the mine, from construction to closure, is approximately 18 years and it is currently proposed that open pit mining and process plant operations will last approximately 10 to 15 years.

In 2014 the Magino Project registered with the Federal and Provincial Environmental Assessment process. In 2016 the Company announced an Environmental Impact Statement would be submitted in early 2017, with the Feasibility Study to be complet-

ed by mid 2017. Completion of the Environment Assessment processes is expected in the 4th quarter of 2017.

Topics on the front of everyone's mind: 1. Long-term community benefits in business, training, employment opportunities, and the use of existing infrastructure and services.

2. Incorporating Traditional Knowledge and Traditional land use.

3. Impacts to the environment.

1. The benefits to our local economy perhaps drew the most interest.

• approximately 2-3 years construction employing up to 500-600 workers • up to 350-400 jobs during operations: approximately 225 mine jobs, 90 mineral processing mill jobs, 60 general and administrative jobs.

• additional indirect jobs created through increased spending in surrounding regions.

• indirect opportunities for local and regional businesses to benefit from the project's construction and logistic support.

2. Prodigy Gold is committed to involving Indigenous groups throughout the Environmental Assessment and project planning processes. Prodigy Gold

is discussing with Indigenous groups a range of opportunities for business, employment, training and involvement in environmental monitoring.

Prodigy Gold understands that Indigenous People are keepers of knowledge that has been accumulated through generations and will be used in the evaluation of potential environmental effects. Traditional Knowledge will assist with design of mitigation measures at all stages of the mine development, and Land Use Studies have already been discussed with the Michipicoten First Nation, Missanabie Cree First Nation, Batchawana First Nation, the Metis Nation of Ontario and Red Sky Metis Independent Nation.

3. During the Environmental Assessment process, potential environmental effects will be studied: topography containment, watersheds affected, facility footprint, receiving water quality, and protected areas. As the Project progresses, Prodigy Gold will look for opportunities to avoid or mitigate negative effects. Environmental issues that will be continually monitored include: • atmospheric conditions such as light, noise, vibration, air quality, greenhouse gases.

• physical environment conditions such as stream and lake sediments, terrain and

soils, surface water, groundwater, and natural heritage features.

• biological environment concerns such as wetlands, wildlife habitat, terrestrial vegetation, migratory and breeding birds, fish and fish habitats.

When the health of our fisheries is a concern, the Fisheries Act regulation mandates that if a project alters fish habitat, then the amount of habitat lost or altered must be quantified and offsets provided. Prodigy Gold is committed in proposing projects or programs to replace such fish habitats.

In looking down the road, it is important not to lose sight of what happens when the mine has served its time. It is anticipated that reclamation of disturbed lands will be ongoing, where possible, throughout the life of the mine. Decommissioning will include removing buildings and infrastructure associated with the mine's operations, land reclamation, and tailings surface will be contoured and vegetated. A long-term monitoring plan based on site-specific performance objectives will be implemented to ensure the site is properly reclaimed.

Reclamation will involve allowing the open pit to fill with water, grading, covering of topsoil and revegetation of disturbed lands including the mine rock management facility.

Prodigy Gold is committed to bringing this project to fruition, and to take a leading role in providing a socially responsible and environmentally sound opportunity for economic development in our area. Public consultations and engagements will continue. Watch for further public involvement opportunities so that you too can offer suggestions and improvements.

It is everyone's responsibility.

Now we are ready for Remembrance Day and those marching should be at the Branch at 10:30 a.m. for a march off at 10:45 a.m. There will be a bus for those who cannot march.

After the service at the cenotaph and MHS, everyone is invited for a Pot Luck luncheon served by our ladies. Please have your dish there before the parade so they can keep it warm or cold until serving.

After lunch there will be a few honours and awards to be presented. Most of all, let us honour our Wawa heroes who served and gave everything so we may live in peace.

We also think of those who are now serving in many parts of the world to keep peace in those regions.

Our Friday fish fry was a success and we thank all those for your support and hope you enjoyed the meal with friends.

Ford's "We Scare Hunger" Campaign Fills Food Bank Shelves Article & photos by Barb Fisher Northern Lights Ford is at it again - this year filling a Ford truck's box, make that two Ford truck boxes full of food destined for our Food Bank.

Andrew McKenzie, Northern Lights Ford Owner/Manager and Lonna Rilley, Service Advisor drove the trucks up to the entrance of the Food Bank last Tuesday and the unloading got underway.

Ford Canada's over 225 national delearships raised over 200,000 pounds of food last year in fundraising campaigns and aim to top this each year. Wawa's Northern Lights Ford's We Scare Hunger campaign kicked off October

1st with their "Drive 4UR School" program offering test drives in support of a community fundraising event. This October's kick-off partnered with Ecole Saint-Joseph, and test drive participants were asked to donate a non-perishable food item to help fill the truck box. Judging by everyone present at the Food Bank headquarters to help unload the 1,300 lb. bounty in filled boxes of non-perishable food items, the campaign was another resounding success.

Gift cards and cash were also donated by community members which helps the Food Bank personnel round out the groceries with perishable and other non-food items essen-

Cindy Szekely and assistants at our Food Bank thank the community for their generosity, and gives much praise to Northern Lights Ford for enabling this fundraiser. The Food Banks' drive to "Feed the Need" continues all year, and with the coming festive season, filling the shelves with goods for the disadvantaged seems to bring out the best in our community. A "Feed the Need" celebration for everyone is planned for November 27 at the Community Centre.

Come out, enjoy the fun and contribute what you can.

An unplanned second Ford truck was also filled with food.

Letters to the Editor...

Dear Editor, I am proud to be part of Operation Legacy, in which members and graduates of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program pass on the Remembrance message to the younger generation.

As Remembrance Day is fast approaching, I would like to pay special tribute to all men and women who have served in Canada’s military, and especially those who lost a limb or limbs in war.

I was born with an amputation affecting both my arms, and have learned to overcome this challenge thanks to programs put in place by amputee veterans of The War Amps.

War amputee veterans that founded The War Amps changed the futures for all amputees. I consistently strive to push myself more and more because I know war amputee veterans never let their amputation stop them from achieving their goals of creating opportunity for amputees young and old.

On Remembrance Day, please take a moment to remember those who have and

continue to serve. We commemorate their lives and share their stories so that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

Sincerely, Samuel Giberson, 23 Ottawa

Article by Marlene Turner, Manitouwadge Museum The Manitouwadge Public Library was pleased to have local author, Judy Senza, share the materials of how she went about writing, "The Dead of Winter". A book about a 1946 murder in Schreiber, where she grew up. She started the search for facts in 2004 - a challenge for sure! Her interest in the project was partly because her late father was a storyteller and had spoken to her about the murder. He actually had known one of the two men murdered and it was possibly recalled when other mining claims in the

area began to take shape. Yes, it was a murder.

It was just before Christmas of 1946 that arguments started and greed set in. Current photos of the area where the murders took place were compared to the photos in the records she had purchased which also included the actual Court Records.

On the evening of October 19th, 2016 and afternoon of October 20th it was good to talk to the author about her book. She had also sold a number of the books during the summer in Manitouwadge and in Schreiber at the Heritage Days events.

Judy also had two of her paintings donated for a draw, which I fortunately won!

One of Manitou Falls on the Pic River and the other of Cook's Lake in Schreiber, where there had also been a gold mine years ago. Judy is known for her sign painting, including the one at Rossport, Manitouwadge Museum, and St. Paul's United Church.

Many of us did not know she had been painting from a young age. A very talented, local resident!

most of the time, we have come together with a unified belief that the US system is deficient. As Canadians, when the US sneezes, we get pneumonia. We are tied economically and culturally to a large extent to the fortunes of the people of the United States.

Also because we watch American channels, for the most part, we have had to endure for over two years now the constant sniping back and forth between the two main opponents. There doesn’t seem to be any easy answer as to the most suitable candidate. And so, we wait to see who really won?

Opinions, or observations from an old newsman

- by Bob Avis

The Countdown Is On Remembrance Day is Friday. This dirty United States political season makes this memorable for all the wrong reasons. You would think Remembrance Day would direct your thoughts to sacrifice and service that would be so far departed from this spirit of malice and character assassination being carried on south of the border.

As you read this column,

the US presidential election has been completed.

Of course, Clinton won. (I hope.) Do you not think that the US population came to their senses and finally broke the glass ceiling for women?

For the second presidential election in a row, Americans have made history with their choice of leader.

Bob and I discuss politics, domestically and abroad, regularly. Not only do we differ

gy state he wonders about the outcome of the election.

I wonder if they will let me place a poppy on his hospital gown because he would rather be thinking about our military men and women who have guided us to the freedoms we have today.

News From The Park Michael Mantha MPP

This week the Ontario Legislature was truly a hotbed of activity with numerous high profile announcements and news releases. One of the most significant developments was the news that the Ontario Provincial Police have laid charges against the Premier’s former Deputy Chief of Staff and current CEO of the Liberal Party and Campaign Chair, Patricia Sorbara. Also charged was prominent Sudbury Liberal Party member Gerry Lougheed. The charges laid under the Elections Act are the result of allegations of bribery involving former Liberal candidate Andrew Olivier to stay out of the nomination process in the last Sudbury by-election in exchange for a job or appointment with Premier Wynne’s Liberal government. In addition to this, even more disturbing is the charge of allegedly bribing the Minister of Energy and Sudbury MPP, Glenn Thibeault, to run in that same by-election.

Never before in the history of this Province has something like this happened. The Premier needs to show Ontarians that she is taking this seriously; she needs to ask her Minister to step down from Cabinet until this mess is sorted out. It is interesting to note as well that during the last provincial election, the Premier promised Ontarians that she was differ-

ent. She promised people that her Liberal party would not be riddled with scandal after scandal like her predecessor’s was.

Yet again the people of Ontario are again disappointed.

The NDP is calling on the Premier to stop putting the interests of her party ahead of the needs of Ontarians and ask her Minister of Energy to step down until the very serious allegations against these three high profile individuals are settled.

On a very positive note, on Thursday in the legislature my Private Member’s Bill 34 - Children's Law Reform Amendment Act: Relationship with Grandparents was debated and passed second reading in the Legislature.

In Ontario, it is estimated that over 75,000 grandparents have been denied the ability to visit or see their grandchildren, with well over 112,000 grandchildren losing contact with their grandparents.

This bill is about grandchildren’s rights and ensuring they have consistent and reliable access to a nurturing and loving relationship with their grandparents. For many children, grandparents are a vital constant needed in their lives.

Grandparents offer children wisdom, love and an especially invaluable and irreplaceable mentorship. They are an important tie that binds families together.

This legislation would ensure that courts consider the merits of individual cases and determine granting access, not by mere default but rather based on whether contact would be appropriate in the circumstances.

Ontario currently lags far behind many of its counterparts across the country where they have already recognized this issue within custody arrangement proceedings. The Yukon, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec and Nova Scotia have named this issue within legislation. I trust you agree that it’s time for Ontario to catch up.

In closing I want to remind everyone that this coming Friday Canadians will be observing Remembrance Day. We wear poppies to commemorate the sacrifices of Canadian service people in every conflict and every peace-keeping mission since Armistice Day after WWI. We wear our poppies with great pride and we stand together, united in silence, to mark the contribution of so many past and present. We honour their service and their sacrifice and we will never forget the extraordinary courage of these brave men and women, many of who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could enjoy a better world.

I know many of us will be attending ceremonies at Legion Halls, Cenotaphs and schools across the province. I encourage you to pause on November 11th at the 11th hour wherever you are to honour our fallen service people. Let us remember the times of conflict when our country has prevailed. Let us remember the times of peace that we have enjoyed. Let us most of all remember the people who have made this all possible. We will remember them.

As always, please feel free to contact my office about these issues, or any other provincial matters. You can reach my constituency office by email at mmantha-co@ndp.on.ca or by phone at 705-461-9710 or Toll free 1-800-831-1899.

Lest We Forget

Blue Jay with Peanut.

Notes From The Bird Lady

Article and photos by Tammie Hache Manitouwadge, ON bthache@yahoo.ca I'm thrilled to say that Grosbeaks are starting to get more plentiful at my feeders.

I'm seeing flocks of a couple dozen Evening Grosbeaks coming through my neighbourhood a few times per day. How I have missed them!!! Their numbers are definitely looking promising for the upcoming winter season.

I have about 6 Pine Grosbeaks coming around; mostly males with only one or two females so far. It's always lovely when they return in late October. Their soft chirps and whistles are just so nice to hear. I'm hoping their numbers will improve for this season. They've been lower than average the past couple of winters.

The Finches I was seeing last week have disappeared again so there are no Finches coming around now at all. It's normal for me to see a couple of Goldfinches and maybe some Pine Siskins in November so I'll remain hopeful.

The neighbourhood Blue Jays and Crows are very happy with me these days. I've been putting out peanuts in the shell for them and crushed peanuts for the smaller birds although the Corvids certainly take advantage of the smaller bits. They'll love the suet when I finally put it out too but it definitely needs to cool off outside for that. Soon.

I've been going out walking a few times per week with a friend and we've been seeing

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

a few flocks of Snow Buntings throughout the neighbourhood.

The other day though, I noticed something different: there were two Horned Larks in one flock of Snow Buntings. I haven't seen Horned Larks in quite a few years, although I'm always looking for them in the fall.

They were certainly a pleasant surprise.

Once again this week, we also saw another Common Loon on Manitouwadge Lake, passiing through. Halloween Day this Male Pine Grosbeak. was! Definitely the latest date I've ever seen one, so far.

One or two Ruffed Grouse continue to visit the yard daily.

The two Gray Jay's visits are very sporadic. I'm really hoping that will pick up as temperatures drop. They will definitely come around more when the suet is put out!

I'm quite baffled about why 'my' woodpeckers have disappeared. Up until two years ago, I regularly had two to three Downies and at least two Hairy Woodpeckers at the feeders all the time. The mystery is that last spring, they all disappeared. A couple of Downy Woodpeckers showed up here and there over the summer but I've only seen one Hairy Woodpecker all year. I have no idea why they moved on when they've been around here for over 10 years. Definitely baffling and they are greatly missed.

Project FeederWatch officially kicks off on November 12th - have you signed up yet??

It's not too late!! Go to this link for more information and to sign up: http://feederwatch.org/ And I'm happy to report that the webcam in my yard will be back up and streaming worldwide by the time I write my next column so I'll have the link to it for you next week!

Bird sightings I've had this week (not just in the yard) include: Black Capped Chickadees, Pine Grosbeaks, Evening Grosbeaks, Blue Jays, Gray Jays, Grackles, Downy Woodpecker (while walking), Red Breasted Nuthatches, Snow Buntings, Horned Larks, Herring Gulls, Common Loon, Crows, Ravens, Ruffed Grouse, Dark Eyed Juncos, American Tree Sparrows and Robins. No sign of Redpolls yet.

Until next week, thanks so much for taking the time to read my column!

Spadafora, Laidlaw Paciocco Dumanski Spadafora & Johnson LLP, Agent for Great Lakes Power Limited for a Consent Application to sever land to create a new lot measuring approximately one hectare together with a right-of-way for access to the retained lands, was granted by Council subject to the following conditions: • the Secretary-Treasurer be provided with a registered plan and legal description of the severed land together with the easement, • the severed lands be rezoned to a zone that prohibits site alteration and development, • that the applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with fulfilling the conditions of provisional consent.

Council authorized the donation of the following: a building permit, a dog licence, two fitness passes, a transit pass and a skating family pass for a total value of $368.95 to the Annual Wawa Ducks Unlimited Dinner held October 22 and also the same items to the Annual Women's Hockey Tournament to be held November 18-20.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is now recognized as the most common neurological disorder affecting 1 in every 94 children. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is the scientific process based on objective evaluation and empirically based interventions used to achieve meaningful, generalizable and enduring behavioural change. Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) is an application of the principles of ABA in an intensive setting used to affect behaviour change and improvement.

The Province of Ontario has announced it intends to discontinue IBI services to children over the age of four and provide a one-time payment to assist with services, thereby abandoning thousands who have been wait-listed for years.

There are two service models in treating affected children: the Direct Service Offering (DSO) where children receive services directly from trained staff, and the Direct Funding Offering (DFO) where parents receive funding directly in order to purchase services.

The DFO model is clinically

rigorous and has been identified as being less expensive than the DSO model.

Council authorized a letter be sent to the pertinent service administrators, Ministers and the Premier requesting the Province to: • amend its policy to allow all children on the current waiting list to receive the IBI services promised them, • remove the age limit for IBI therapy and replace it with a program that provides ongoing IBI services based on need and individual development, not age, • ensure oversight by professionals and parents based on 'development progress' criteria and milestones, and • adopt a Direct Funding Offering (DFO) model in lieu of the current Direct Service Offering (DSO) model.

Ontarions pay the highest property taxes in the country. A recent poll conducted on behalf of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario indicated 76% of Ontarions are concerned that property taxes will not cover the cost of infrastructure while maintaining municipal services, and 90% agree that maintaining safe infrastructure is an important priority for their communities. A ten-year projection of municipal expenditures against inflationary property tax and user fee increases shows an unfunded average annual need of $3.6 billion to fix local infrastructure and provide for municipal operating needs. This $3.6 billion average annual need would equate to annual increases of 4.6% to province-wide property tax revenue for the next ten years. This gap calculation also presumes all existing and multi-year planned federal and provincial transfers to municipal governments are fulfilled. If future federal and provincial transfers are unfulfilled beyond 2015 levels, it would require annual province-wide property tax revenue increases of up to 8.35% for ten years. Council resolved to support the Association of Municipalities of Ontario in its work to close the fiscal gap so that all municipalities can benefit from predictable and sustainable revenue to finance the pressing infrastructure and service needs faced by all municipal governments.

The Algoma Coalition is a consortium of municipalities that was formed in 2002 to represent all communities served by Algoma Power (API) who are affected by increasing and unfair hydro rates, and Northern Ontario ratepayers who are isolated, marginalized and lack the financial resources to individually par-

ticipate, thereby giving a voice to those who would not otherwise be represented before the Ontario Energy Board (OEB). The OEB has acknowledged that API service territory is unique in Ontario and does not fit into the standard approaches for all LDC's in the Province. The Coalition has appeared before the OEB on several occasions to argue rate application by API/GLP and has been successful in obtaining concessions including costs, when the OEB acknowledged the Coalition's concerns with the level of proposed rate changes in Algoma given the poor economic conditions.

Section 3.03 (b) grants eligibility to a party that primarily represents an interest or policy perspective relevant to OEB's mandate, and the Coalition represents small Northern Ontario municipalities and ratepayers whose interests are distinct from those in Southern Ontario, and the Coalition's history of participation in OEB proceedings has offered a unique policy perspective. Section 3.03 (c) grants eligibility where a party is a person with an interest in land that is affected by the process, which the Coalition does as an association whose member municipalities are affected by the outcome of API's rate applications.

Section 3.06 provides that a party may be eligible for a cost award if it is a customer of the applicant. Denying Algoma Coalition eligibility for cost awards denies access to justice and effective representation of local Northern Ontario interest that have historically been represented by, and are constituents of, the Algoma Coalition. The Algoma Coalition has also been denied eligibility for costs and ignores previous cost awards in the matter of the Hydro One purchase of all voting securities of Great Lakes Power Transmission, using the same assertions regarding eligibility. The Algoma Coalition has brought an application for Judicial Review of the OEB cost award on the grounds that the OEB has abused its discretion to award costs by acting unfairly, for an improper purpose, with malice, bad faith, and in an unreasonable, inconsistent and uncertain manner.

Council resolved that the Ontario Energy Board be required to honour its own Practice Direction on Cost Awards and the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario by awarding the Algoma Coalition all costs relating to the representation of Northern Ontario residents and municipalities against Algoma Power rate increases, and the Hydro One purchase of Great Lakes Power Transmission voting securities. Council further resolved that the Ontario Energy Board recognize the Algoma Coalition's Intervenor status in any future applications and subsequent decisions by awarding all costs

associated with representation.

Council authorized the use and assumed the costs of the Wawa Transit vehicle on November 11 to provide transportation services for veterans to attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Lung disease is one of the most prevalent, deadly and costly chronic diseases in Ontario. To increase awareness of lung health issues, the Municipality of Wawa joins the Ontario Lung Association in designating this month as November Lung Month.

When a commercial operation shuts down for a period of time Council may grant a rebate for sewer and water rates with frontage and connection charges not being affected. Council agreed to provide the Columbia Restaurant with a sewer and water rebate equal to 65% of the total charges for January to June 2017.

The Municipality of Wawa originally supported the Conceptual Business Arrangement for the Magpie/ Martel Forest NewCo Conceptual Business Arrangement Report to the Forestry Futures Trust with the understanding that part of the process would include a funding request as part of any revised budget and work plan. Continuation in the eSFL process without the funding necessary to engage expert advice raises serious concerns and in view of these concerns Council resolved to withdraw from the Magpie/Martel eSFL process until such time as adequate funding can be provided by the Forest Futures Trust to adequately obtain the professional advice necessary to understand the remaining issues including the complexity of the development of the proposed Shareholders Agreement.

Council approved the payment of the list of accounts for October in a total amount of $1,144,623.89.

Tax sales for two properties were unsuccessful and it was recommended that the tax arrears be removed from the roll. Council declared the two properties as surplus. The properties are described as: • PCL 12334 SEC AWS SRO; LOCATION MS3 BAILLOQUET; MICHIPICOTEN, Roll 57-76-000-007-191000000. Taxes $34,409.81 written off.

Council accepted Wawa's Five Year Energy Conservation and Demand Management (ECDM) Plan as prepared by the Economic Development Corporation of Wawa.

Council entered into an agreement with ARC Management Services and Harriman & Associates to

Thar's Gold In Them Thar Aquifers Water is everywhere and in all living things. No water, no life. Period. Water comes in many forms - liquid, vapor, ice, snow, fog, rain, hail. But no matter the form, it's still water.

- Robert Fulghum You can say that again, Bob – and by the way, water comes to us in even more wonderful forms than those listed. I am currently savouring a tumbler of the finest effusion of sparkling water collected by dedicated Lombardy artisans from frothy springs bubbling up in the mountains of Italy, lovingly decanted into a dark green bottle and shipped to my dining room table. San Pellegrino, the label says.

The question is: why the hell am I drinking Italian bottled water? I live in a country that contains one-fifth of the planet's supply of fresh water.

I have fresh water gushing out of a tap in my kitchen, my bathroom and the garden hose. I can sit down in any restaurant in the land and ask for a glass of water – for free.

Does San Pellegrino water taste better than water from my tap? Come on. Water is water. It has no smell, no taste, no colour. Aside from slight carbonation I couldn't tell San Pellegrino from what comes out of a drinking fountain in downtown Thunder Bay. And truth to tell, the ambiance for the water I'm drinking is about as Italian as Walt Disney. It's distributed by an international cartel called Nestle Waters North America, headquartered in Connecticut. Nestle is the largest 'producer' of bottled water in the world.

Bottled water is big business. Ask the citizens of Aberfoyle, a small Ontario

HEAVYDUTY

town northwest of Toronto.

They lost their long-time supply of spring water last year when they were 'outbid' by an international conglomerate named – you guessed it – Nestle. The Ontario government now allows Nestle to siphon off 4.7 million litres of Aberfoyle spring water every day. Cost to Nestle's (after permit fees, etc.): Three dollars and seventy one cents.

Per million litres.

When it comes to water rights, Big Business plays hardball. The citizens of Weed, California can testify to that. For more than half a century they've enjoyed fresh water from a nearby spring that bubbles out onto land owned by a lumber company.

The company let the town take all the water it needed for a fee of one dollar per year.

This year the price went up. To $97,500 annually.

The lumber company sold its water rights to a conglomerate with plans to export bottled water to Japan. The townsfolk have been told to pay up or get their water somewhere else.

Water. Economists call it the 'liquid gold' of the 21st century. Michael Burry would agree. Remember him? He's was the only person to predict the sub-prime mortgage crisis and real estate collapse of 2008. Wall Street thought he was crazy. While everyone else lost their shirts he made $800 million.

So what's Doctor Burry doing these days? According to the Wall Street Journal, he's not juggling a menagerie of hedge funds anymore.

Burry's shed his entire investment portfolio to focus on just one commodity.

A Remembrance Day Mystery

This is a file copy of a note I wrote along with a copy of the story sent to me by Lorraine, Secretary of the Wawa Chapter of the 'Mystery Story Clubs of Canada' as a result of their latest meeting. It is a story commemorating Remembrance Day on November 11, 2016. -- They got down to business, and began tossing around ideas. Some of them included: a missing poppy box at the mall; a veteran's disappearance before the Remembrance Day Service, where he was to receive a Medal of Honour from the Legion President; a mystery of a soldier over in France during the First World War, in that he was shot in battle out in no-man's land and despite the impossibility of retrieving his body, still he returns sometime overnight – a German soldier, a mysterious civilian, who does the heroic feat? The soldier does it on his own after a near death experience who comes back to life as it was deemed not his time to go?; an air battle where a Canadian pilot is shot down, but some question whether it was a German plane or friendly fire that brought it down; a naval battle with the German ship the Bismarck, and the sea rescue, with the mystery being a dead naval officer found shot to death on the sunken boat; and a mystery around the famous poem 'In Flander's Fields'. All good ideas.

They finally decided on the disappearance of a vet before the service. This is their finished story - Vincent O'Leary was 95 years old this year. He was in the Long Term Care at the local hospital.

He was confined to bed, thanks to the ravages of time and war.

Arthritis racked his joints, and the pain was excruciating for him, despite all the medication that he was given. A stroke two years ago left his legs paralyzed. and wheelchair bound.

The shrapnel that was still in his abdomen added to his misery. But his mind was still alert.

He always kidded everybody that he was a walking weather station, and could always predict when a storm was coming, within fifteen minutes of its' arrival. The nurses smiled as he told them this every day. He was always in a happy mood, despite all the pain that they knew he was in. He was just one of those gentle souls that there were never enough of. He never complained. He never talked about his war experiences and subsequent injuries, except on Remembrance Day each November 11th.

He always kidded that he got the shrapnel injury in a non combat situation. He was returning to the bombed-out house that acted as the temporary headquarters for the Allied troops in this recently captured area of Holland, from the local pub, with a keg of beer when he stepped into the doo-doo, ie the bomb that went off, spraying

him with shrapnel. He declared that he didn't know which hurt more – the immediate pain of the shrapnel burrowing into his legs and abdomen, or losing a whole keg of beer. He chuckled as he explained that trying to drink up as much of the beer as he could before it washed down into the gutter sure kept his mind off the pain. He added that he was sure glad there were no photos of the incident. It wouldn't have looked good for him or the 'brass'. And he concluded with the comment that he was thankful there wasn't all this Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and all this new technology stuff back then, like today where a picture can be taken and then be posted and gone worldwide within minutes of it happening. He also added as an afterthought about drones and what they would have shown to the world with him and his leaking keg of beer...

Everyone always enjoyed this anecdote. They could just picture the scene, and agreed with his assessment.

Back in September at the monthly meeting of the local Legion Branch, it was announced that he was going to receive a special honour at the Remembrance Day ceremony.

Everyone agreed that it was well deserved, and long overdue.

Despite his modest claims, and amusing stories about his war efforts, his dedicated work over the years at the Legion was well known.

His son, Gord, had agreed to make sure he was up, dressed and ready to be picked up by the hospital van that had a chair lift. It was scheduled to stop on Main Street to let the veterans watch the parade, and then head off to the high school auditorium for the service.

He arrived at the hospital about nine that morning. The nurses had already fed him, and bathed him. It was his responsibility to get him dressed in his Legion uniform and service pins.

It was a struggle to get him dressed while he sat on the edge of the bed, and then getting him into his wheelchair. However, it was finally done. He told his father that he would be back in a few minutes. He needed to pick up a travel grant form at the front office and then check to see if the van was here yet.

His father seemed to be a bit out it, he thought. He just nodded vacantly as he told him what he was doing. He just hoped that he would perk up once he got out of here and involved in the parade and service. He sure hoped too that he would be alert enough to appreciate and understand the ceremony of the presentation of the Medal to him.

He was gone about ten minutes. When he entered the room, his father was not there. He looked around in disbelief. Then he checked the washroom. He wasn't there

either. He became frantic, as he rushed down to the nurses' station. The lone nurse there said that she had not seen him at all this morning, but would check with the others. She came back shortly and told him that they had not seen him since breakfast.

Then he headed down the hall, looking in every room to see if maybe he had gone to visit any of the other patients. He was not in any of them. He ran into the janitor who was mopping the floor in the lobby. He told him that yes he had seen a man being wheeled out about 10 minutes ago. However he didn't get a good look at who was wheeling him out. After pressing, the janitor described the person as being a tall man.

He was wearing gray slacks and a navy blue blazer. He didn't get a look at the him, but overall he knew he was old.

Gord thanked him and ran out of the lobby into the parking lot, searching desperately to see if he could see if they were still there. They weren't. Then he noticed a van pulling out onto the street, and turning towards downtown. He thought he recognized his father on the passenger side.

Gord ran to his car, and went to get in and chase after them. But it was locked. He realized that he wasn't wearing his jacket. It was still back in his father's room. He remembered laying it on the bed. He couldn't believe it when he got to the room, and the jacket was gone, along with the car and house keys too. He swore and clenched his fists in anger and worry.

He looked at his watch. It was just after ten. He hurried back to the nurses station, and asked to use the phone. The nurse told him that he would have to use the pay phone, but once he quickly explained the situation, she let him use it. He hoped his wife, Tina would still be at home. He needed her to get the spare set of keys and bring them to him. He was in luck, except that it would take her at least 20 minutes to get up there. She would have to walk, or find a ride with a neighbour, she reminded him. He urged her to do the best she could, and to hurry.

He went back to the lobby to wait for her. He paced back and forth. Then about 10:15 he saw the hospital van that was to take him to the ceremony pull up. He asked the driver if his father was in it. After he asked, he realized how stupid that was.

Why would it be here to pick him up, if he was already in the van?

He apologized, and explained his situation. Then he asked

the driver if he knew if anyone else had made arrangements to pick up his father. He replied that he didn't know. He had five vets to pick up. He didn't know any names. Frustrated at the dead end here, he sat down on one of the chairs, to wait for Tina. He couldn't think of anything else to do for now.

Slowly he calmed down enough to begin thinking more rationally.

Somebody had picked him up. It must have been one of his buddies that didn't know that he had booked the van. While he was mulling over that thought, a name popped up - Gerrard Bensen.

He was his father's age, and still drove his car. He was still sharp as a tack too. He remembered his father talking about him in the past, and being comrades in the war. It was a long shot, he realized, but he decided it was worth a try. Gord went back to the nurses station, got the phone number and called his senior's building apartment.

His wife, Emily, finally answered the phone. She told him that he had already left for the Legion Hall to get in line for the parade. Then she asked him if his father was looking forward to getting the Medal today. She added that she expected he hated all the fuss. Gord didn't want to get into a long conversation with her, as so much time had been lost already. He cut to the chase and asked her if Gerrard was picking up his father on the way.

She was uncertain, but replied that she didn't think so. He then explained that somebody had 'kidnapped' him from the hospital. He was desperately trying to find out where he was taken, and by whom. He concluded that he thought Gerrald might have done it, especially with them being such close friends.

He heard the silent pause before she replied that Gerrard was really angry that Vincent was getting the medal, and he had worked just as hard with him all these years. Yet he did not get recognized with this prestigious honour. She was sure he would not have been picking up his father.

Then it hit him. He bet that Gerrard had taken his father someplace, to keep him from getting that award at the ceremony...

The group has cleverly detailed how and where they found Vincent and the show-

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

down between him and Gerrard.

They brought in Gerrard's son, Mark, who helped get Vincent out of the van. Then they lightened the mood as they described these two Dad's duking it out.

Vincent was doing wheelies as he used his wheelchair to deftly avoid the blows from Gerrard's cane. Gord finally found them together, and tried to intervene, and ended up the worse the wear as his father ran over his right foot with his wheelchair, while he got whacked on the arms and head from Gerrard's cane. Mark got whacked too, as he and Gord tried to separate them, and cool things down. I envisioned a slapstick scene that only the Marx Brothers could do so well.

I was pleased how the group had finished it up on a light mood, with the two old comrades reconciling their differences, and then getting to the ceremony just in time.

A Remembrance of the Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Here is a poem I wrote, while thinking about the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald freighter on November 10, 1975 – The Crew of The St. Alou A November gale is brewing.

All of us are stewing, For we all know A fierce storm will blow Before this day is through.

And all us crew Aboard the St. Alou Will feel its' wrath As we cross the path of this howling storm.

And true to form The waves did build As our hold got filled And the wind did howl Oh most foul!

And in the dark late eve With one last huge heave, our ship went down Off treacherous Point Crown.

And now we haunt these shores, Waiting to finish our chores, And forever forced to be Trapped below the sea.

“Carrying the message of Love” with Joan Brooks

Living In Gratitude The Lord of Hosts will not respond to your wish until you have assumed the feeling of already Being what you want to Be, for acceptance is the channel of His (Her) action.

- Neville When I read this quote this morning, it sure gave me cause to think. How long have I been wanting to live closer to my children, then trying to make it happen, and for whatever reason, after four or more years, I’m still waiting for that move, although I FEEL it is now actually happening. Jesus said “All that you ask for in prayer believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours” (Mark 11:24).

There was a time I felt I was wearing out God’s welcome, but now I know God is within me, and I have the Power to

create change. Goodness sake, I’m being bombarded with meaningful comments today that sure do knock home to me that my Path is of my own creation, that of following my Heart.

This is now Saturday afternoon, and what a glorious sunny day it is 12C and I’m a happy camper! My new apartment in London is now leased in my name, yay. This is an interesting story, as the unit we

were so interested in was being renovated with no real deadline until renovators gave the unit back to the owners. And we couldn’t sign anything until the owners received the unit completed. And so, I needed to use my Power of Positive thinking to get through the past month or so. Not only that, I used my ‘Act as If’ it were being done mantra. And of course with Prayer and faith in God and the Universe it was done.

November 26th is my last day in Wawa, and as I write this there is a tinge of sorrow as I think about leaving this wonderful community to begin the next phase of my Life.

So now I take this little body where there are trillions of cells, each acting almost like their

They went out and happened to things.” I guess that is what we did, or should I say my daughter and I did. It has been a family affair. Wow! And via blogger Ted Murray, “Perhaps it is best just to be thankful that you are part of the energetic mix of the cosmos and realize that you are part of a creative intelligence that must be incredibly loving to have imagined something as beautiful, mysterious, and intricate as this body, this planet, this universe, and this entire creation.

What a miracle and a mystery life is! I Am Living in Gratitude. ‘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.

THE HAPPY MEDIUM BY CHRISTINE DAVISON

For the week of November 9th to November 15th, 2016 Is your birthday this week? You make a wonderful friend but an awful foe. You are strong, courageous, intelligent, kindly, conscientious, inspired, and charismatic. Others feel you are vibrant, calming, and versatile, as well as lovely, loyal and happily domestic when in love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There might be some good news coming your way. You have just the right amount of passion and energy to bring to any lackadaisical or lacklustre event or organization that requires a little bit of that Scorpio depth or intensity.

If you’re unsure about someone then ask how they really feel before counting them as an ally.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There may be people who count you as a friend and there may be people who count you as a foe. Push ahead all the way, Sagittarius. Competition will get you everywhere you want to be this week. Others see you as having the right emotional and familial connections to succeed in the public eye. Expect applause!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There could be a gift or reward. Expect presents and parcels to arrive a bit sooner than expected. Good news could soon be on its way! Avoid appearing stubborn, this week Capricorn.

Trying to handle the demands of all those who depend upon you may be more than you can handle with an even temper, but try.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you are behaving in your usual way then expect others to see it as unusual somehow, but don’t let it get you down. Pushing others around is never a good way to get what you want or require, and it certainly isn’t a good way to get others to do what you desire.

This week, try using some honey instead of vinegar.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March

20): Music in the background might help clear away the constant noise that fills your daily activities. Sharing your personal taste in art may show the way to your heart. To create something worthwhile, consider taking things in more moral, emotionally satisfying directions.

Don’t try to avoid what you don’t understand.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There may be someone who greatly admires you from near or afar. You might be one of the lucky few who can find and keep real everlasting love. You can’t put a price upon what you know is good and true, such as nature, art, music, beauty or connections between loved ones. If work feels immoral then don’t do it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If someone says that your words are irresponsible or irrelevant then you don’t have to be nice to people who aren’t nice to you.

If you’ve been looking for permission to go out for an adventurous time on the town, then you should take this hint to have some fun! It’s been too long since you went dancing. Let loose!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take care of yourself while taking care of business, trying to do too many things at once may bring far more headaches than anything of a helpful nature. Don’t take anything for granted. Life is filled by beautiful moments, sensual experiences, and loving embraces. This week, savour every little precious thing you can.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you aren’t careful, you may miss something important to others.

Embrace new progressive practices and marry them with ageold traditions. If you’re not the courageous type then try to do something bold. Sometimes we need a push in the right direction, even if that push comes from ourselves. Follow your heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It is a great time for romance, so try going for a romantic dinner or a long walk on the beach. This week, you will want to spend less time decision making and more time with your children or spouse. Don’t be discouraged if someone tells you something that you don’t want to hear. Plan ahead, be proud of what you’ve done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Trials and tribulations may boost your self-esteem and your reputation in the eyes of others.

You might be feeling a little hot under the collar this week, Virgo.

You are seen as courageous and kind. More than ever, others will understand exactly where you are coming from. Delay important decisions until next month.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some see you as brooding and dark and may feel that leaving you alone for a little while is the best medicine for whatever has been bothering you. If you are uncertain regarding your future or your surroundings then it might be wise to involve people as bright, prestigious or industrious as yourself. Good luck!

École Saint-Joseph

Un apprentissage sur le terrain et sur l’eau The 22nd annual Wawa Cup Elementary School Soccer Tournament was held on October 5th at the Michipicoten Community Centre sports fields and hosted by Sir James Dunn.

Seven teams from Wawa, Chapleau, Hornepayne and Dubreuilville vied for the coveted cup throughout the day.

After round-robin, quarter-

finals, semi-finals and championship games, Trillium (Chapleau) won the tournament, Sir James Dunn came in second, and Hornepayne came in third. It truly was a great day of soccer which included amazing teamwork, sportsmanship and fun.

Thank you to Brookfield Power for your continued support of the tournament.

Les 4, 5 et 6 octobre, les élèves des cours d’éducation physique de l’École secondaire Saint-Joseph (Wawa), accompagnés des enseignants M. Mark Szekely, M. Michel Lemoyne, M.

Trois lacs, 2 portages, un "peu" de pluie, 2 poissons avec 1 hameçon, beaucoup de soleil, plusieurs rires étouffés, un film sous les étoiles, du vent dans la face tout au long du retour et de beaux souvenirs!
