Bossy Women's Mexican Night At The Legion - Ole!

Article and photo by Barb Fisher The pinatas were hung, the mariachi music perculated the background, the tacos simmered, the marguerita rims salted, and with a hall full of bossy women we were all eager to explore avenues to boast about such a commanding reputation. The evening was duel purposed; to inform women on the exciting opportunities in operating their own business combined with a fundraiser to help raise cash for the Legion to realize their goal of installing an elevator and handicap-friendly washroom in the Legion building.

Heidi McLaren, our very own hard working entrepreneur did one of the things she does best - a very animated, comical testimonial of how she has persevered and overcome many hurdles to establish her business. Heidi emphasized that

Tracy Amos, Maury O'Neill, Heidi McLaren, Angela Bruni, Fanny Joanisse-Benoit a woman in business must first dream, then grow, diversify and most of all, never miss an angle. It is imperative to learn something new every day, and think outside of one's comfort zone. She gave personal information on creative ways in which she has engaged the community in expanding her floral arrangement business and gives back to the community in fund raising and gestures of human kindness. Growing up Heidi's family operated the very successful business in town Mr. Mugs and to engage the audience she handed out a carnation with a $5 bill to anyone offering a past experience in patronizing the small business.

She gave many adages to keep in mind when managing one's business successfully: the biggest risk is not taking any risk at all, stay true

and humble, enjoy what you do, and although it has been said that blondes have more fun, it takes extra work for a blonde to be taken seriously!

Bossy Women's Mexican Night At The Legion - Ole!

...Article Continued From Front Page We make a living with what we get; we make a life with what we give. Contact The Olive Branch Floral Design heidiannmclaren@ gmail.com 705-499-6520.

Our EDC's Maury O'Neill wrapped up the evening with information on an exciting venture forseen on the horizon for our community. In conjunction with the Municipalities' plans for the waterfront rejuvination, the Wawa Goose Nest is congealing plans to offer a Summer Market, possibly at the Mackey/Broadway corner featuring a mini-market, pop-up shops and shed rentals for short periods or summer long, to offer a resident and tourist walk-about vendor display similar to that of the Trading Post close to the Soo. Stay tuned for further developments on this front.

Maury thanked everyone who made the event possible: well informed speakers, Legion Women's Auxiliary for preparing the meal and tending bar, Tracy Amos for funding the meal, Fanny Joanisse-Benoit for arranging hall rental cost and decorations, Sandra Weitzel for donating the purse and shoes as a door prize fundraiser, Larissa Bussineau who gave everyone a bath bomb gift as a token from her successful business B Belle Bath & Body, and Jesse Labonte with the EDC who organized and set the event in motion.

Wrapping up my accountng of the evening's festivities, Maury was pleased to announce that the event had netted over $300 to help out the Legion's fundraising event for the elevator and upgrades. Thanks to all who helped out. Muchas Gracias everyone!

Annual Minimum Wage Increase To Come Into Effect October 1 Ontario Creating Fair Workplaces And Better Jobs Ontario is increasing the general minimum wage for the fourth consecutive year, which will bring the wage up to $11.60 on October 1, 2017.

As a part of Ontario's plan for Fair Workplaces and Better Jobs, the general minimum wage would again increase to $14 on January 1, 2018, and to $15 on January 1, 2019, which would be followed by annual increases at the rate of inflation. Ontario's plan to create more opportunity and security for workers would also ensure part-time and temporary help agency workers are paid the same hourly wage as full-time workers, introduce paid sick days for every worker, enable at least three weeks' vacation after five years with the same employer and step up enforcement of employment laws.

Creating fair workplaces and better jobs across Ontario is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.

QUICK FACTS • By October 2017, the general minimum wage will have increased by almost

70 per cent since 2004, when it stood at $6.85.

• The minimum wage remained frozen between 1996 and 2003. This will be the 11th minimum wage increase since 2004.

• Special minimum wage rates for liquor servers, students under the age of 18, hunting and fishing guides, and homeworkers will also increase at the same time.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Minimum Wage Increases for October 1, 2017 QUOTES "Fairness and decency must continue to be the defining values of our workplaces. No one working full time should be struggling to put food on the table or buy clothing for their children. Increasing the minimum wage will create more fairness, opportunity and security for workers, while building a more stable and sustainable economy that also includes fair workplaces for everyone."

— Kevin Flynn, Minister of Labour

Extending Consultation Process Is The Best Answer For Tax Fairness There is a heated battle over tax fairness stemming from the government’s plan to cut down on what they see as improper use of incorporation to the advantage of some highly paid individuals.

While reigning in the use of this tax strategy might not be the best place to start a tax-fairness campaign, with larger sums and more egregious violations associated with offenders such as offshore tax cheats, the timing of the announcement and short consultation process have to be questioned too.

When the Finance Minister explains the proposed changes to incorporation he uses the example of professionals who use loopholes to sprinkle money throughout their household to avoid paying higher rates of tax.

Opponents point to farms and small family businesses that could become collateral damage if these changes come into force. The only way to investigate these claims is through wide-spread consultations, but when they were announced in the dead of summer many of those who may be affected were caught off guard. By making the consultation timeline short, it almost ensured the backlash we are seeing.

That’s why the NDP is asking the government to double the timeline for consultations on tax fairness and to expand the scope to include large corporations, loopholes for CEOs, and international tax havens. With all the rush associated with the current process, it is increasingly difficult to look past the rhetoric being blown around Ottawa

so Canadians can fully understand who will be affected, and how.

Right now there are a lot of differing opinions about the changes to incorporation being proposed. The government is claiming they are only trying to institute tax fairness, and business groups are saying this move will be a job killer. The truth may lie somewhere in between, but that truth will be harder for most Canadians to see if consultations turn out be an incomplete rush job. By sticking to a compressed timeline, the government might do more damage than good. If the only reason is to make sure the government is maximizing what it is owed, again, there are bigger fish to fry.

Consider how the government has backed away from a major campaign promise to close the CEO stock option loophole which costs Canadians $750 million a year. On top of that, they have given out sweetheart deals rather than crack down on the wealthiest Canadians who’ve been caught using illegal international tax havens.

By now it is clear that for most people, and especially those who may be affected, the consultation period is too short and too narrow to result in true tax fairness. It is vitally important to make sure that proposed changes target wealthy tax avoiders and big corporations who are not paying their fair share.

New Democrats suggest that right now, the government is letting the big fish off the hook.

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.

Under The Same Stars Minwaadiziwin Principal Photography

Begins For “Brotherhood” On Michipitcoten First Nation Reserve

Article & photos by Barb Fisher The Michipicoten First Nation (MFN), together with the Municipality of Wawa partnered with Science North's Planetarium brought an exciting expo to the Community Centre last weekend. While waiting for the showtime intervals there were lots of exhibits to take in for kids and adults of all ages.

For the younger kids an inflatable jumping tent ramped up the anticipation followed by a picture colouring station to take the edge off. For the older kids a working seminar to learn the intricacies of dream catcher weaving was set up ready to test the ingenue and patience of the crafty.

An impressive array of handmade native crafts fashioned from beads, quills, thatched grasses and feathers was on display accompanied with native drums, moccasins and gloves handmade using fur and leather. MFN gals Linda Peterson and Nancy Andre served up delicious and ample indian tacos to everyone just for the asking.

Our local historian Joanna Rowe and MFN's Librarian Wendy Peterson showcased Indigenous and early European artifacts dating back more than 700 years ago which have been retrieved from the banks of the Michipicoten River. The exciting MFN Artifact Story Project, "The Challenges of Coming Home" has been underway for some time now with Wendy collaborating with Joanna and a group of interested folk to research and catalogue the artifacts with the end game, hopefully in the near future, to establish a cultural centre/museum to house the exhibits for public viewing.

The main attraction, the planetarium's inflatable dome theatre sat quivering in anticipation inviting each group to enter the dome, lie down on the floor mats, gaze upwards, and in total darkness prepare to be amazed. "Under the Same Stars Minwaadiziwin" magically transformed our bodies to move with the stars through the four seasons with the wonders of the natural world explained through indigenous stories passed down from elder to youngster for hundreds of years. Minwaadiziwin is an Ojibwe term which refers to the hope for all living things to lead a good life. The First People were scientists and innovators, constantly track-

ing and moving with the seasons and creating inventions that allowed them to survive in the northern forests of our country. With this close connection to the natural world, the Indigenous People of Canada developed a strong culture rooted in respect for the environment. As we all gathered around the virtual campfire, we were taken on a discovery of star constellations through each of the four seasons, and what they represented to the native peoples: creation of the first drum, the gift of water which nurtured every living thing, the birch tree offering much in daily life, the animals and their part in cracking the barrier into

the universe beyond to understand the circle of life. As we are all on this planet together and sit under the same stars, we must assimilate with all peoples and hope for a good life for all.

Much thanks goes to the Michipicoten First Nation members who worked diligently to give a unique spin on another great event for our community. Thanks also to the Municipality Recreation and Tourism staff, Science North representatives and all the volunteers who quietly help out without expecting any accolades. Thanks for another successful unique event in our community!

The Film Tells A Historical Canadian Story About 21 Teenage Boys And A Fight For Survival Principal photography has begun for the feature film Brotherhood on the Michipicoten First Nation Reserve. Written and directed

by Richard Bell (Eighteen), the cast includes Brendan Fehr as Robert Butcher, Brendan Fletcher as Arthur Lambden and Jake Manley as George Waller. Based on a true Canadian story, this is the first time filming has been permitted on the sacred First Nations land near Wawa, Ontario.

“Brotherhood tells an essential tale not only because of its history, but because of the story of bravery, sacrifice and selflessness it reveals,” says Richard Bell, director. “It is an honour to bring a part of Canada’s rich past to the big screen.”

The film follows an infamous 1926 canoe trip the Brotherhood of St. Andrew leadership group took. When the teenagers’ canoe capsizes during a freak storm on Ontario’s Balsam Lake, the

boys are sent into chaos and a fight for survival.

Brothethood is produced by Mehernaz Lentin of Industry Pictures (Portrait of a Serial Monogamist, Fall), alongside Anand Ramayya of Karma Film (Chokeslam, Rufus) and Jonathan Bronfman of JoBro Productions (The Witch, Two Lovers and a Bear).

Led by Fehr, Fletcher and Manley, the main cast also includes: • Gage Munroe as Jack Wigington • Dylan Everett as Ray Allen • Spencer Macpherson as Vernon Clarke • Sam Ashe Arnold as Will Wigington • Matthew Isen as Leonard O’Hara Brotherhood has acquired funding from Telefilm Canada, OMDC, Creative Saskatchewan, Shaw Rocket Fund, NOHFC, Super Channel, Aqute Media, and Level Film.

With Jim White

A Thanksgiving Turkey Mystery Farmer Oliver Cranberry was looking forward to Thanksgiving this October of 1886. It had been a bountiful year for his crops and livestock. The weather had cooperated wonderfully for him and the entire area around the small village of Thanksall, which at that time was about ten miles north of Kingston in Eastern Ontario. It has since disappeared as a village, and is now part of Kingston.

But back then it was a thriving village, with a post office, general store, granary, three churches, a one room school, a millinery for ladies hats and dresses, a blacksmith shop, a bank, and a municipal office for the police department, council chambers, the library and the fire department. On the outskirts was a barn where activities took place, such as livestock auctions, carnivals, horse racing, yard & bake sales, and the highlight of the year – the fall fair, held annually on the second Saturday of September.

Behind the barn was a baseball field and a horseshoe pit.

Oliver had a banner competition at the fair this year. He had won first prize in the categories of corn, oats, and most importantly for him, the heaviest turkey in the poultry category. He also placed second in the chicken division, and third in the hog category. He had also entered the heifer division of the cattle category, but his cow, Cinnamon, came in dead last. It was a pretty good try for a first time farmer, he thought to himself, after taking over the farm from his parents, who had both passed away with pneumonia during the winter of 1885.

His vegetable garden at the farm for the family's consumption had produced bumper crops of various vegetables. His field of hay and wheat did well, giving him lots to keep Cinnamon and their two horses, Whip and Cream, fed over the winter. His McIntosh apple tree had also been loaded this year. The berries had all been plentiful too.

So his wife, Rosemary, had been busy pickling, canning, and making jams this summer and fall.

They had lots to be thankful for this year, he told her. She agreed, although she also had to admit that she was tired with the steady business of preparing food for the winter. But their cold cellar would be full for sure this year.

Quite a contrast from when they moved in this past January. It had been pretty sparse, so it was a welcome change this fall to have such an abundance. Oliver had tried to persuade her to enter her jams in the fall fair, but she refused, declaring they were not good enough to put in a competition, and only meant for their own use for over the winter. She did admit that she would consider it though for next year. He didn't push it. He knew it would be no use trying to persuade her otherwise.

He had mixed feelings about killing his prize winning turkey, Gobble-Gobble, for their Thanksgiving meal, but that had been the plan all along, keeping him fattened up, and gaining weight until he was nice and plump for cooking.

He decided to see Farmer Cornelius Pumpkinpie, who

raised turkeys for the entire area.

It was his mainstay. His turkeys were prized birds, and he had orders from far and wide.

He went over to his farm on Thursday afternoon to get some tips on how to kill 'G-G' quickly and humanely. Cornelius was in his barn, feeding his 'crop'.

When Oliver approached him, he quickly found out he was in a 'foul' mood. He quickly dispensed with the small talk, and got to the point of his visit. “Cornelius, I know you are busy with this Thanksgiving weekend coming up, but I need your help on how to kill and prepare our turkey for Sunday's dinner. Can you give me some suggestions?”

He snorted, and curtly said, “Oh you kids, why do you always wait til the last moment to come up with these idiotic questions?

You are as bad as the village folk who want to know what Ifeed them, how long it takes to get them ready for slaughter, and on and on. Honestly. For those village dwellers, I just tell them what they don't know won't hurt them. Just cook it and eat it.

Then they want to know the best stuffing to make, and should they put the dressing inside the bird, or prepare it separately. As if I care. I usually send them in to my wife for that. I just raise and sell the birds. Then there are you green farmers – this is your first year tackling a turkey, right?”

He paused momentarily to wait for Oliver's response. He looked down to the ground, shrugged his shoulders, and admitted that it was his first time. Then Cornelius went on. “You just put his head on the chopping block, and lop it off. Then pluck him and string him up to drain. You have done that already haven't you? You need to cure it for at least 72 hours. Oh, no, right. You just said you came to find out what to do, so I take it you haven't even killed it yet. Oh boy!” He shook his head in frustration and disgust at his cluelessness. Oliver was intimidated by this interrogation.

After a brief pause, he went on.

“Okay, here's what I'll do. Give me fifteen minutes, and I will have a bird ready for you. I still have a few that are ready to go. You in turn will bring me back your bird tomorrow morning. Is that okay with you?” Oliver immediately agreed to that. Then he asked the weight of the the bird, so he could get a bird of equal weight to give him today. Oliver blushed as he didn't have a clue how heavy Gobble-Gobble weighed. He had never done that. At the fall fair he had been weighed by the judge at 23 pounds. He wasn't sure how much more weight he had gained since then. He hoped that he sounded like he knew when he told him 25 pounds. Cornelius raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He simply turned away from Oliver and went looking for a bird to give him.

He came back shortly and handed it to him. He merely said “There you are. Good luck with it. See you tomorrow with your bird. You can pay me then.” Then he went back to feeding his other turkeys. Oliver called out “Thank you. See you tomorrow”.

When he brought the turkey into the kitchen, where Rosemary

was preparing supper, she was delighted to see that their turkey was all ready to cook on Sunday.

She had not been looking forward to plucking it, gutting it, and all that gory stuff. She liked this better. She would just have to wash it, butter it up, stuff it, and pop it into the wood stove.

He added “I have to take Gobble-Gobble over to Cornelius tomorrow morning in exchange.

He wasn't very happy with me, asking such dumb questions. I gather some other of us farmers and villagers were asking the same things, and he wasn't pleased that so many have waited to the last minute to get their turkeys.”

She commented to him, “Well, I am just glad we don't have to kill him ourselves. I have grown fond of him. I don't know if I would have had the heart to watch you butcher him. What about you?”

He said, “Yes, I must admit that I was a bit squeamish about having to do it too. I have become fond of him as well. Even though he has gotten quite aggressive, he has this character. I don't know...” She quickly added, “I know, me too. Maybe we could just keep him for a pet over the winter, and kill him off for next years' Easter dinner. Then we could get a new one next spring instead.” He frowned, and agreed that would be a good idea, except for the fact that he had already promised Cornelius to bring him over tomorrow. The conversation ended there, as supper was ready.

The Friday morning started out as a nice sunny warm October day, with some ground mist over the fields. Their rooster, Harvest, woke them up at the usual six a.m. Oliver got up and dressed, and headed out to the barn to feed the animals. Rosemary also got up and went to the kitchen to stoke the wood stove for the day, and began making breakfast.

He had only gone a few feet from the house when he sensed that something was wrong. It was too quiet. Normally GobbleGobble would be making a racket, and getting all the others upset and yakking away in their native tongue, ie., cow mooing, chicken clucking, horses neighing, etc.

He rushed over to the barn, and opened the doors, and headed towards the penned cage where Gobble-Gobble stayed at night.

He couldn't believe his eyes, but sure enough, the door to the cage was ajar, and his turkey was not inside. At first, Oliver thought that maybe he had undone the latch himself and got out. He began to search the barn, but soon it became obvious that he was not in there. So he headed outside and began searching the yard and field. He used his turkey caller that always brought him back, wherever he was. Even when he was in the field searching for grain, he had never gone further astray. He just seemed to know his boundaries, and like an imaginary fence, he stayed within those parameters. But today there was no sign of him anywhere.

Finally he headed back to the farmhouse to ask Rosemary if she knew where he was. She was at the stove, flipping pancakes when he came in. He told her about Gobble-Gobble being missing. She assured him that she didn't know his whereabouts. She wondered, “What are we going to do? You have to take him over to Cornelius's farm this morning.”

He snapped back at her, “Yes, I know. You don't need to remind me. I don't know what I am going to tell him. Maybe we

can barter some of our jams and relishes to make up the difference.” She retorted, “And leave ourselves short for the winter?

After all our hard work, I am not going to give it away. No, you'll have to find some other way.”

She paused as she put a batch of pancakes on the kitchen table.

“Here, start eating. Let's think about this while we eat.” Despite his anxiety about the situation, his stomach won out. They sat down and began talking and coming up with ideas as they ate.

They agreed that she would continue to search their property, with the possibility that he had just wandered off momentarily, and would return shortly. Oliver just had to put in another worry for her to mull over. “What if he heard or smelled a wild turkey in the woods, and broke out to pursue it?” She gasped, and uttered, “Oh, no, don't even suggest that.”

He agreed that he would go to the neighbours to ask them if they had seen him, or at least be on the lookout for him. After finishing breakfast, Rosemary just piled the dishes in the sink, and immediately headed out to call for him. Oliver headed out too over to the neighbours.

His neighbour to the west, Mace Pye, was a miserable man.

All he said was that if he saw him, he would make a great turkey dinner, and that he would not need to have his wife cook up theirs. Jack gritted his teeth to avoid saying anything derogatory, or smashing his fist into his face.

Then he went to his neighbours to the east. They were a couple, Barry and Ginger Peppers, with two small children, a 5-year old boy named Basil, and a 3-year old girl named Sage . When Basil heard that Gobble-Gobble was missing, he jumped up and down, and grinned mischievously. “I set him free. He gone now.” Oliver asked him where Gobble-Gobble was, but his parents intervened.

They assured him that he was just talking gibberish, and not to pay any attention to him. Oliver smiled and agreed with them.

Two cute kids that were going to be a handful, he could see.

After going to the other nearby neighbours, he returned home to touch base with Rosemary. She had no news, and he didn't either, he admitted, although he told her that he wondered if Basil maybe did let Gobble-Gobble out. She reminded him. “Really, Oliver!

The boy is only five years old. He wouldn't be coming all this way in the middle of the night to let him out. I think he was just saying that he wanted our turkey to stay alive, and not be killed for us to eat. No, I have a feeling your idea about a wild turkey luring him away may just be the explanation. It certainly is the only one that makes sense to me, at this time. Well, you might as well go and explain the situation to Cornelius, and see what he wants to rectify this.”

“Yes, I guess you are right. I just dread what he will say, or want. Our first born maybe?”

That was meant as a joke, but as soon as he said it, he realized he went too far. They had been trying to have a child for over a year, and had not been successful yet. “Sorry, that was a mistake. I just got carried away. I am just worried sick about this. I sure hope he is okay, if only for a while, wherever he is.”

He hitched up the horses to the wagon, and reluctantly headed over to his farm. He got there about eleven, and there were other farmers already there to pick up their turkeys. Oliver hung around until there was no

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

one else around.

He sheepishly said hi, and stammered nervously, not sure how to begin. He started out hesitantly, but soon sped up as he got it off his chest. As he finished his story, Cornelius just smiled and then laughed uproariously. He asked Oliver, “Did you not get my note? I stuck it on your front door very late last night. Your lights were all out, so I presumed you had gone to bed already. I had a customer come yesterday evening looking for a live bird. He wanted one to keep on his farm until Christmas.

Yours fit the description of what he wanted. He was from over Turnipville way. He was visiting his mother in town yesterday, and was heading out first thing this morning. He really wanted to take a bird with him. So I took the liberty of taking your bird last night. He didn't utter a sound as I transferred him from your cage to mine. I guess he was pretty sleepy. I'm glad he didn't, as I did not want to wake you. Obviously you didn't find the note this morning when you got up. I stuck it on the front door.

I'm sorry about this. All your worry for nothing. I certainly do appreciate your concern for my business, and making a fair deal.

It is nice to know that we can do business with each other, with just a verbal agreement and a handshake. Here, take one of my new chicks. That will get you started on a new bird.”

Oliver protested weakly, but did accept the chick with delight.

“Thanks a lot. This is very kind of you. I was just sick about losing Gobble-Gobble, and not being able to fulfill our bargain. We rarely use the front door. Well, anyway this helps a lot. I think that I will call him Corny. How much do I owe you?”

Cornelius just waved his hands in front of him. “Nothing. We'll just call it square, what with the concern I caused you over Gobble-Gobble. Just do as good a job with Corny as you did with Gobble-Gobble, and you'll win at the fall fair again next year.” Then he shook his head and chuckled to himself. “Oh you young farmers. When will you ever learn to not get attached to your livestock.

They are a food source – that's all. Well, good luck with your new addition. Thanks for your honesty too. In fact, why don't you come over for supper on Monday for leftovers. I would invite you to come on Sunday, but you have your own turkey dinner to prepare, as do we. I have my family coming in for the day. It's our turn to make the meal. We alternate every year. It really is an appropriate time of the year to give thanks. Those Pilgrims all those years ago got it right, didn't they.”

Oliver said to him, “They sure did. Well, anyway, that would be great. Monday it is. Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving.” He headed out, with his new chick in hand. So what started out as a bad day turned out to be a great one, and the Thanksgiving weekend turned into a wonderful time. The mystery of their missing turkey became a topic of conversation every Thanksgiving after that. Oliver and Rosemary were eventually able to tell their children and even further down the road, us grandchildren about how a turkey named GobbleGobble became a turning point in their lives.

So anyone who would like to do some good work and help the veterans come and join the Legion wherever you live. And help your community at the same time.

Michipicoten Chronicles

by Johanna Rowe, CAHP

Michipicoten Science And Professor Louis Agassiz Michipicoten and the east shore of Lake Superior have drawn travellers from far and wide for centuries. One particular traveller was a world renowned scientist fascinated by the unique plants, fish and glacial history found along the remote coast in our backyard.

Born in Fribourg, Switzerland in 1807, Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz immersed himself in science and studied medicine, philosophy, fossils, fish, rocks, plants and glaciers. During the height of his career, Professor Agassiz was one of the best know scientists in the world.

Agassiz was one of the first to scientifically propose that the Earth had experienced a past ice age or two. The study of glaciation, the existence of massive sheets of ice, and their effect on the landscape became one of Agassiz’s many legacies.

In 1847 Louis Agassiz moved to the United States and was appointed Professor of zoology and geology at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Professor Agassiz’s only scientific exploration into the interior of North America was his Lake Superior expedition. During the summer of 1848, students joined him in birch bark canoes which carried 3 to 5 persons each along the wild and remote northern coastline from Sault Ste. Marie to Fort William

(Thunder Bay). The Professor frequently scrambled out of the canoe to explore every unique feature and plant life clinging to the often dangerous shore. Agassiz’s excursion included a stop at the Michipicoten post where the Hudson’s Bay Company employees restocked their supplies. Agassiz and his students also studied the sand dunes, fish and waterfalls adjacent to the post site. At Michipicoten Bay they were most interested in the unique arctic vegetation that clung to the rocky outcrops along the shore.

The Lake Superior excursion led to the publication in 1850 of “Lake Superior – Its Physical Character, Vegetation, and Animals Compared with Those of Other and Similar Regions”.

This much celebrated work was the first detailed and beautifully illustrated scientific account of the natural history and character of Lake Superior.

Agassiz died in 1873 and is buried in Cambridge., Massachusetts. His name appears in many locations throughout the state.

In Canada, ancient Lake Winnipeg was named Lake Agassiz to commemorate the man who first imagined our earth covered in ice.

Hunting Safety Is A Priority The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Detachment, wants to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable hunting season.

Hunting enthusiasts shall understand and follow the rules when hunting: • Wear solid hunter orange clothing including an orange head cover.

• Assure someone knows of your location, route, and date of return.

• Carry a map and compass with your GPS. Don't depend on electronic navigation devices only.

• Hunt only where you are permitted.

• Check the weather and assure you have appropriate clothing and gear for the expected or unexpected changes in conditions.

• Learn how to safely build a fire, and carry the required supplies.

• Keep hydrated and pack nutritious food.

• Never drink alcohol and hunt.

• Carry a survival kit including a first aid kit

with you.

Firearms and ammunition: • Firearms shall be handled with care and attention at all times.

• Never shoot unless you are sure of your target and what lies beyond is safe.

• It is illegal to carry a loaded firearm in or on a vehicle.

• It is illegal to shoot from a vehicle.

Hunting and home safety with children: Children are playful and active while adolescents are curious and impulsive. These healthy traits mixed with firearms can cause life threatening injuries or death. If guns are kept in the home, there are added risks. Therefore the law outlining the storage of firearms and ammunition shall be adhered to.

• Be specifically aware of your inventory when departing for your sporting adventure and upon your return. Assure all firearms and unused ammunition has been accounted for and safely returned to their secure

storage locations.

When handling or cleaning a gun, never leave it unattended, even for a moment; it should be in your view at all times.

• If you don't own a gun, check with parents at other places where your children play to assure safety precautions are followed.

The consequences of unsafe storage of firearms/ ammunition and unsupervised children can be tragic.

"We want this season to be a safe experience, hunter and firearm safety is everyone's responsibility."Manitoulin OPP Detachment Commander Kevin Webb.

Report any illegal or unsafe hunting activity; call the MNRF TIPS line at 1-877847-7667, the OPP at 1-888310-1122 or to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or submit information online at www.tipsubmit.com where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Regular Screening Is Best: Know The Facts About Getting Screened For Breast Cancer October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, in partnership with Cancer Care Ontario, is encouraging women between the ages of 50 and 74 to talk to a health care provider about being screened for breast cancer as part of their regular health routine.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women, with one in eight women expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. In Ontario, it is estimated that about 10,100 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and about 1,900 Ontario women will die from the disease in 2017.

“Breast cancer has one of the highest survival rates of all of the cancers in Ontario,” said Dr. Nicole Zavagnin, Cancer Care Ontario’s Regional Primary Care Lead in the Northwest region.

“Studies show that regular mammograms, as part of an organized screening program, can help to lower the risk of dying from breast cancer in women ages 50 to 74.

Screening mammography can find breast cancers when they are small, less likely to have spread, and more likely to be treated successfully.”

Unfortunately, the number of women returning for their regular mammograms within the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) has decreased from

83% in 2012 to 81% in 2013.

Furthermore, retention was lowest among women ages 50 to 54 at only 77 percent, meaning that there are still many eligible women in this age group who could benefit from regular breast cancer screening. This pattern was also seen in Northwestern Ontario, with decreased participation and retention in breast cancer screening from 2012-2013 to 2014-2015.

“Mammography screening has a better chance of detecting a potential breast cancer if women follow the advised screening schedule, and follow-up regularly,” explained Dr. Zavagnin. “In Ontario, we recommend that women at average risk for breast cancer go for a screening mammogram starting at age 50, and then continue to go every two years until 74 years of age.

With repeat mammograms changes in the breast over time can be measured and this can improve the ability to detect early cancers.”

The OBSP provides highquality breast screening throughout Ontario to two groups of women: • Most women ages 50 to 74 are screened every two years with mammography.

• Women ages 30 to 69 who are at high risk of getting breast cancer are screened once a year with a mammogram and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (or,

if MRI is not medically appropriate, screening breast ultrasound).

It is important to talk with a health care provider if you think you might be at elevated risk of breast cancer due to your personal or family history.

In Northwestern Ontario, there are six OBSP sites where women have access to highquality breast cancer screening, including: • The Linda Buchan Centre at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre – Call (807) 684-7777 or 1-800-461-7031 • The Screen for Life Coach, which travels across Northwestern Ontario - Call (807) 6847777 or 1-800-461-7031 • Thunder Bay Diagnostics – Call (807) 683-4411 • Lake of the Woods District Hospital - Call (807) 684-7777 or 1-800461-7031 • Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre - Call (807) 684-7777 or 1-800461-7031 • Riverside Health Care, Fort Frances – Call (807) 274-4808 Talk with your health care provider today about getting screened for breast cancer regularly with mammograms.
