Blueberry Fall Festival Draws Huge Crowd Article by Barb Fisher

Blueberry Dessert 1 st Prize Winner - Emma Desgagne   Ok kids, what's goin' on in town this weekend? All right, annual Blueberry Fall Festival at the Community Centre. With remaining parking spots in short supply I entered the curling area of the Community Centre and joined the throng of eager folk taking in the many varied kiosks and exhibits showcasing once again what a talented group of people are right here in our and surrounding communities.

I visited every booth to marvel at all the gifts and services on display and chatted with the crafters displaying their wonderful handiwork. There was an unlimited variety of knitted and crocheted apparel, scarves, mitts, baby sweaters, kids' novelties and toys, Avon, Tupperware, essential oils, cosmetics and skin products, customized jewelry, sewn housewares, novelty teatowels, candles, sewn mittens fashioned from recycled sweaters, uniquely flavoured tea, bath fragrances and soaps, gluten/ allergy free meal preparation additives, personalized wall

hangings and mugs, fashionable leggins, and Voxx socks offering increased performance in body movement. There were several different bake goods tables offering past favourites and new recipes to test the tastebuds, but you had to be quick as most pastry chefs sold out quickly. The entrepreneuring Laing family were very present offering their unique range of blueberry jams, jellies and still promised on the horizon, their much touted blueberry wine. Trevor explained that producing a fine wine takes time to perfect and after much experimenting, they plan to bring the fruits of their vinyard to market next spring. Another celebration we can all look forward to. I did linger to chat further with some presenters who are not regulars but had a very interesting display. Cheryl Tremblay must have been busy for hours fashioning her jeweled necklace scarves. When I touched them expecting to feel beads, I was amazed that they were soft, crocheted with metallic yarn. Their unique-

ness made for a quick sell out. Sherry Kenney offered her educational "Barefoot Books" collection for children up to the ages 10-12. Each book was based on a different theme to help children accept uniqueness both in their own challenges and how children live in different cultures. Wrapping up my tour, I was intrigued by the gently used clothing apparel booth equipped with full length mirror for eyeballing possible treasures. But what grabbed my attention was the B&C Boutique's presenters: Brittany Moore and Callie Paddock, two enterprising young ladies who are off to explore the world before finishing formal education. And what to do with all that stuff? Why fold it, hang it, lay it all out, something for every taste, and who can resist the temptation of scouring through others' gently used fashions. Great idea gals, and many happy trails to you on your voyage of discovery.

A variety of other displays of interest included: Type 2 diabetes risk warnings offered

by the Lady Dunn Health Centre with The North Algoma Diabetes Education Program, Algoma Public Health's "Eating Nutritiously" info, Lady Dunn Health Foundation selling tickets in support of their latest fund drive, and Wawa Family Health Team with fitness programs aimed at seniors to "Stay on Your Feet".

No fall fair would be complete without the fresh vegetable displays. Desbarats Produce from the Soo area displayed a wide variety for sale of almost any vegetable you would want, all grown organi-

cally and with no chemicals added. Terry Switzer displayed a variety of vegetables grown in the plots at the Community Garden and eagerly explained info on this summertime opportunity to grow your own veggies. Again I stand in awe of George Karasek who proudly displayed his larger than life vegetables all grown in his own backyard on Broadway Ave. George is my go-to man for all my gardening dilemmas, and in response to my question as how to get rid of earwigs in my cabbage patch, his proven method was

And at the other end of the harvest, Emma Desgagnes' blueberry dessert took the red ribbon. At the Fall Festival everyone is a winner!

There was plenty going on

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

to occupy the kids. Superior Children's Centre Best Start Hub had indoor games and an art and crafts corner set up. Spilling out on the rear field, kids lined up to take a chance at laser tag, rope challenge apparatus, and the climbing wall, with Victim Services offering hot dogs and refreshments to the spectators.

As always a great family exposition such as this Fall Festival cannot be successful without much hard hitting from behind the scenes.

Thanks goes out to organizer

Nancy Donald, Wawa Special Events Co-ordinator in conjunction with the Municipality, and a very special shout out to volunteer Demily Thibodeau, student at Ecole St. Joseph who single handedly set up all the display tables and other essentials making this event another wonderful occasion to look forward to each year.

Thank you Demily and to everyone who made it all happen.

with refreshments and healthy snacks provided back at the Community Centre. Town schools held their own pledge collecting regime and took part in mini runs about town during school hours before the weekend, and many community groups donned matching t-shirts demonstrating collective solidarity in their goal.

Wawa Travellers hockey team members had the ante upped with their managers offering a prize to the top finishers in their running team. All players shared the win with parking lot hockey and pizza. Doesn't get better than that.

Co-ordinator Nadine Cartledge, representing the Terry Fox Foundation thanked everyone taking part and showed much appreciation for the more than $5,400 pledged this year. When added to the previous years' total, the tally tops more than $79,657 raised by our community members since the Run's inception in

1997; an impressive accomplishment to be proud of indeed.

Nadine thanked the many volunteers who served in registration, route directions, attending water stations, and gathering donations for the snacks. She also thanked John's ValuMart for providing oranges, snacks and water, JJAM-FM and local businesses for advertising the event, and Brian Lachine who spearheaded the social media information.

Again, I am in awe of the hard working volunteers right here amongst us and thanks to everyone who fund raised, pledged and donated to the cause. We can all be proud of our efforts in helping to eradicate this deadly disease.

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE ONTARIO POWER GENERATION INC. Ontario Power Generation Inc. has applied to recover certain account balances and to raise its payment amounts.

Learn more. Have your say.

Ontario Power Generation Inc. has applied to the Ontario Energy Board for approval to recover, over a three-year period, the 2017 year-end balances in certain deferral and variance accounts related to its nuclear generating facilities and most of its hydroelectric generating facilities beginning on January 1, 2019.

Ontario Power Generation Inc. has also applied to increase the amount it charges for the output of most of its hydroelectric generating facilities for 2019 using an Ontario Energy Board-approved formula that is tied to inflation and other factors intended to promote efficiency.

If the application is approved as filed, Ontario Power Generation Inc. has calculated that the monthly bill for a typical residential customer would increase by $1.39 in 2019 and by $0.06 in 2020, and decrease by $0.29 in 2021. These amounts do not reflect any impact of the Fair Hydro Plan. Other customers, including businesses, will also be affected. The balances in some deferral and variance accounts will continue to be recovered in future years but the recovery mechanism will be determined in a future proceeding.

THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) will hold a public hearing to consider Ontario Power Generation Inc.’s request. We will determine whether the company has used the applicable formulas required by the OEB and whether to approve Ontario Power Generation Inc.’s request to recover the balances in the deferral and variance accounts. We will also hear questions and arguments from individuals and groups that represent consumers of electricity. At the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide what, if any, increase will be allowed.

The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost.

BE INFORMED AND HAVE YOUR SAY You have the right to information regarding this application and to be involved in the process.

• You can review Ontario Power Generation Inc.’s application on the OEB’s website now.

• You can file a letter with your comments, which will be considered during the hearing.

• You can become an active participant (called an intervenor). Apply by October 3, 2018 or the hearing will go ahead without you and you will not receive any further notice of the proceeding.

• At the end of the process, you can review the OEB’s decision and its reasons on our website.

LEARN MORE These payment amounts relate to generation from Ontario Power Generation Inc.’s nuclear facilities and most of its hydroelectric facilities. They make up part of the Electricity line on your bill. Our file number for this case is EB-2018-0243. To learn more about this hearing, find instructions on how to file letters or become an intervenor, or to access any document related to this case, please enter the file number EB-2018-0243 on the OEB website: www.oeb.ca/participate. You can also phone our Public Information Office at 1-877-632-2727 with any questions.

ORAL VS. WRITTEN HEARINGS There are two types of OEB hearings – oral and written. Ontario Power Generation Inc. has applied for a written hearing.

The OEB is considering this request. If you think an oral hearing is needed, you can write to the OEB to explain why by October 3, 2018.

PRIVACY If you write a letter of comment, your name and the content of your letter will be put on the public record and the OEB website. However, your personal telephone number, home address and email address will be removed. If you are a business, all your information will remain public. If you apply to become an intervenor, all information will be public.

This hearing will be held under section 78.1 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, c.15 (Schedule B).

End Polio Now!

Rotary International has declared October 24, 2018 World Polio Day. To be part of this occasion the Rotary Club of Wawa will be hosting a special event. Stay Tuned!

Each week from now until October 12th we will be submitting a column in this Algoma News Review citing the progress over the years of the Polio Eradication Program undertaken by Rotary International in the late 1980s.

We will also be recounting experiences in Wawa, our Rotary District 6290, and our trip to India in January 2000 to help immunize their children.

When the Polio Immunization effort started in 1988 there were 350,000 cases per year world-wide, approximately 1000 cases per day. By 2017 there were 22 cases reported in three countries.

To be declared polio free, a country must go for three consecutive years with zero cases.

For that to happen, every child must receive two drops of the vaccine three times per year – November, January and March.

Think of the army of volunteers and paid staff it takes to organize an Immunization Day in a city of five million as is common in India. Because so many cannot read, messengers go house to house ahead of time, vaccines have to be ordered, stored and delivered, then followed by checking the next day to be sure each child is immunized, etc. etc.

When a child receives the drops, he/she has their little finger painted purple with indelible ink so when the volunteers go door to door the following day, they can tell if the child has been vaccinated.

If not, they are given the drops there and then.

We will be placing “END POLIO NOW” coin boxes in a number of locations around the community and hope that you will help us raise the extra dollars needed to rid polio completely.

We hope you will find the weekly articles enlightening, as most people these days don’t realize how dangerous polio was here in our own town of Wawa, and in Canada nationally during the 1950s and 1960s.

I have sat on many boards in the past and feel all my experiences will assist me to help our town council move Wawa into the future. I know I have only been a resident for 20 months, but my wife and I love it here, and with this passion I feel I can be a great asset to the community.

If elected, there are 3 main priorities. Economic Development, housing and waste control. We need to

encourage new business to locate to Wawa not only to build our economy but also to take some of the tax burden from our citizen. By encouraging them to come with proper incentives Wawa can grow.

With new business will come the need for workers, which in turn requires housing and retail. Both of which are lacking here now. This I feel should be the main priority. Waste control should be next priority.

We need to setup a progressive recycling program to save our land fill and our planet.

Control of the budget and analyzing all expenses and proposed expense will minimize future property tax increases and maximize the efficiency of current municipal service delivery. We need to prioritize what is important for our citizens needs.

In conclusion, I truly believe we need new eyes to look to the future for Wawa. I have the experience, I am approachable, I love living and working in Wawa. We need to look to the future and I am the eyes and ears to help council move that way. On voting day, VOTE ROBERT REECE, show the town we want change!!

INSPECTION Inspection of MNRF-Approved Prescribed Burn Plan for Slash Pile Burning - Nagagami and White River Forests The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) invites you to inspect the MNRFapproved prescribed burn plan for slash pile burning that will be carried out on the Nagagami and White River Forests (see map).

As part of our ongoing efforts to regenerate and protect Ontario’s forests, some recently harvested areas have been selected to be burned under the guidelines of the MNRF’s Prescribed Burn Manual. The prescribed burn will reduce the area covered in slash piles while increasing the area available for regeneration and reducing the fire hazard. The burn is scheduled for ignition between October 15, 2018 and December 15, 2018.

The approved prescribed burn plan for slash pile burning, including specific locations and maps, is available for public inspection by appointment during normal business hours at the offices of Jackfish River Management Ltd. and Nawiinginokiima Forest Management Company (NFMC) and on the Ontario government website at www.ontario.ca/forestplans until March 31, 2019, when the Annual Work Schedule expires.

Interested and affected persons and organizations can arrange an appointment with MNRF staff to discuss the prescribed burn plan. For more information or to discuss the prescribed burn plan, please contact: Brian Harbord, R.P.F. MNRF Wawa District Office 48 Mission Road, P.O.

This month’s prize:

$100.00 GIFT CARD from John’s Valu-Mart

Hi my name is Pat Tait and I am a retired long time Wawa resident. I am running as a candidate for councilor for the first time. I am presently on council as an appointed councilor back in May 2018. I want to make a difference by contributing my time and experience to the future growth in our small unique community.

I believe my work experience and life skills have provided me with a wealth of knowledge to be a successful councilor in Wawa. I worked at Algoma Ore Division for 15 years as a welder until its closure. Moved to Sault Ste Marie taught welding at Sault College for 7 years.

Moved back to Wawa and was hired by Weyerhaeuser as a team leader to head up production teams. Worked for Weyerhaeuser for 15 years in various management jobs and lead many capital projects until its closure. After the closure of Weyerhaeuser I went to work at DeBeers Victor Diamond mine as welder, millwright and lead hand.

Finally getting tired of all the travelling I moved over

to work for Wesdome Gold Mines as Safety Coordinator, and maintenance lead at their mill operations.

When Rentech Canada Pellet Mill came to Wawa, I was hired as the project construction coordinator for the project. I worked there for 3 years as project coordinator and Mill Superintendent until Feb 2016 when I decided to retire.

Committees and organizations I have volunteered on in Wawa, Brookfield Water Management Plan, Wawa Labour Adjustment Committee for Laid off Workers, Wawa Minor Hockey and Wawa fish stocking program.

My first priority as a councillor would be to adhere to the role of a councilor. As councilor, I have three main roles to play in our municipality: a representative, a policymaking and a stewardship role.

These roles may often overlap.

I will be called on to consider and make decisions on issues that will sometimes be complex and controversial. Many of those decisions will have long-term consequences for our municipality that extend beyond the four year term of office, and should be made in the context of our municipality’s directions for the long term health and welfare of our community.

Did you know Municipal governments deliver critical services that most people depend on every day? We also own the most public infrastructure. But we collect less than 10-cents of each household tax dollar.

Costs are spiraling out of

control and more and more local communities are carrying the burden of tax increases. To minimize this impact on the community we need to engage the provincial and federal governments to be fair and allocate funding to support our communities, equally and fairly.

Planning is essential for the future of our community.

Priorities must be set with the input from our community.

Example everyone asks about maintaining our infrastructure or is providing safe, clean drinking water more important.

My work plan for Wawa over the next four years and longer is to maintain what we have to the highest standards, while protecting the tax payer’s dollars. Some items that must be on our list are senior housing, recycling, upgrades to our community centre complex, building healthy relationships with the organizations in town. Updating and reviewing all the policies and procedures at town hall. Reviewing and updating the strategic plan. Continue to work with and support the Economic Development Corporation in their work activities to find ways to attract people and work to our community.

In closing I can promise you that I will do my very best to carry out my duties as an elected councilor for the town of Wawa. I am honest, trustworthy and hard working.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Wawa And Area Victim Services – Volunteer Opportunities Have you ever felt that you would like to be of assistance to someone in crisis but didn’t know quite how to do it? Have you ever felt that you would like to ‘give back’ to your community? Have you ever felt that you had skills that were not be utilized to the fullest?

Do you have some time that you could dedicate to volunteering in your community? If you are able to answer ‘yes’ to these questions then Wawa and Area Victim Services might be just the organization for you!

Wawa and Area Victim Services is dedicated to assisting victims of crime or tragic circumstances on an immediate, short-term basis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. At the request of one of our community partners – the Ontario Provincial Police, the Lady Dunn Health Centre, Chadwic Home, or the Michipicoten Fire Department – we will attend the hospital, our office or other secure location to assist the victims. Our assistance comes in the form of practical support (local transportation, assistance finding accommodation, referrals to other organizations, for example); emotional support (listening and affirming)and access to the Victim Quick Response Program.

What would it take to be one of our volunteers? We need people with a variety of skills, but most importantly a clear understanding of confidentiality, a sense of compassion and empathy, the ability to remain non-judgmental, a willingness to allow victims to make their own decisions and to support them through this, and the ability to provide practical advice. There is a significant amount of training that occurs to help develop these skills and also to give insight into some of the situations you may encounter.

During non-business hours all calls are screened by our volunteer dispatch who ensures that it is a call we can assist with

safely and then it is referred to the staff role of Team Lead.

The Team Lead will contact the volunteer Team Support person and they will attend the call together. These calls can take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours depending on the circumstances. There are times when we will ask more than one volunteer to assist us in especially difficult cases.

The time commitment is really based upon how much time you have and when. If you are on call we expect that you will be able to leave the home at any hour to attend.

Generally, we ask that volunteers schedule themselves in for shifts two week days in a row and three days on one weekend of the month.

If however, your life commitments prohibit you from following this schedule exactly we will work with you to allow you to participate. There is also a short monthly meeting that you are asked to attend.

If you have ever had that feeling that you have made a significant difference in the life of someone in distress and felt good about it this might be just the role for you. Our clients have often used phrases like “you made all the difference – we wouldn’t have gotten through without you’, ‘thank you – you made a terrible situation bearable’, ‘what a great service – we wouldn’t have known where to start’, and ‘the staff and volunteers are kind and caring – just what I needed’.

If you think you might be interested please call us at (705) 856-7852 or drop by 16 Ganley St., (just down from the LCBO). We would be pleased to provide you with more information about our services, the training and how you might be able to help us help others.

The Wawa Family Health Team is extremely pleased to announce that two new physicians will be joining our team on October 1st, 2018 and would like to extend a warm welcome to Drs. Jamileh Shaffaf and Sean Robinson.

Sean and Jamileh both hail from the south. Sean was raised in Amherstburg and Jamileh grew up in Bowmanville, but their studies have taken them all across Ontario.

Sean completed a degree in Life Science with a minor in French at Queen’s University and Jamileh studied Health Sciences in French Immersion at the University of Ottawa.

They met while undertaking their medical degree at McMaster University and went on to complete their Family Medicine residency together in Sault Ste. Marie at

the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. The pair were lucky enough to spend four months training in Wawa over the past two years, and are thrilled to be joining the wonderful team here. Sean and Jamileh look forward to working at the Lady Dunn Health Centre and Wawa Family Health Team this fall and spending plenty of time outdoors in this beautiful area.

Drs. Shaffaf and Robinson will be assuming care of Dr. Julie Weinstein’s practice.

All previous patients of Dr. Weinstein and new patients new to town will be rostered with our new physicians.

The physicians would also like to thank the Lady Dunn Health Centre for all their support in recruitment efforts.

Do you want to know more about how quality is improving at the Lady Dunn Health Centre? As part of a continuing commitment to engaging with patients and the community regarding quality improvement, the Lady Dunn Health Centre has now installed three Quality Journey Boards, which are located in Acute Care, Long Term Care, and in the Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging hallway. These boards feature information related to ongoing quality initiatives, including the 2018-19 Quality

Improvement Plan, Client and Resident Satisfaction Survey Results, Patient and Family Rights and Responsibilities, and information about the Client Concern Process. The boards also highlight opportunities for patients and their family to provide feedback and become involved in the quality improvement process, such as becoming a Patient and Family Advisor.

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.

With Jim White

The Fall Fair Mystery

Yesterday, this third Saturday of September was the annual Fall Fair here in the village of Cornish. It is sponsored by the Agricultural Society again this year. Many of the locals have always planted a vegetable garden in their back yards. They enjoy the gardening experience, nurturing it to produce its' rewards, and finally reaping their harvest each fall. I know they eagerly look forward to competing against each other at the fair.

There is always lots of competition in all the categories, which includes largest, oddest shaped, and most perfect looking vegetables, the best pesticide-free herb garden, floral & vegetable arrangements, jams, pickles & relishes, and pastries & pies.

Over the last 15 years, the competition in the largest vegetable category, which is what I am most interested in, has always come down to two gardeners. Basil Carraway moved to Cornish, 16 years ago. His first entry in the fair did not garnish him any awards, but he did get compliments on a good effort.

A few other entrants offered him some advice, based on their experience of the soil type in this area, watering techniques, etc.

He eagerly took their advice, and the next year he got third place in part due to his zucchinis, as well as with his pickled beets.

His floral bouquet of fall flowers complimented his table display very well. Then ten years ago, he won first place for his vegetables. Every year since he has either been first or second.

His main rival has been Lewis Appleton, a spry eighty year old man, as is Basil. He was one of the first gardeners to offer advice to him when he first entered the contest back those 15 years ago. Prior to that Lewis was the recognized as 'king of the fall fair', who had no competition to seriously challenge his entries.

He certainly had a 'green thumb', as all his vegetables were enormous, and blemish free. He also had the artistic touch to place his display in an appealing configuration that helped him keep winning over the years.

His wife, Rosemary, was the champion all the time when it came to the pies, and jams and pickles categories. Her forte was in the taste part of the competition, whereas her husband was in the visual part.

The judges always had a challenge on their hands when it came time to determine the winners.

This year it was going to be no exception, everyone expected.

It was Friday evening when the tables were being set up The contestants had two hours between seven and nine to get their display ready. The public was also allowed in to watch them set up, and ask questions on the display or just general gardening. The judging always took place around ten on Saturday morning. Then on Saturday afternoon the produce and food were auctioned off to the highest

bidders. All the money raised from that went towards scholarships for students who wanted to pursue their education in the fields of either agriculture or environmental studies.

Everyone who came to the fair on the Friday night could see that it was going to be a battle between Basil and Lewis again this year – that is until a stranger pulled up in his beat-up old half-ton truck.

As he unloaded his vegetables, folks noticed that the squash was pretty big, and appeared to have no blemishes either. His other vegetables looked pretty good too, they commented.

There were 10 entrants altogether this year. The tables were all lined up in a row along one wall of the hockey rink part of the arena. That was where all the activities take place. Other displays included the pettingzoo, the arts & crafts sale, the fish pond, the booths where the local organizations were displaying information, or selling tickets to raise money for their sports activities, etc., the food court, and the kids activity centre. Outside were the carnival games and rides, the car show, and a baseball tournament.

Basil had table #1, Lewis had #2. Us others had 3 to 9, and 10 was this stranger. Each table had to show their name, their address, with a list of their vegetables, and a brief summary of their growing techniques. The stranger's name was Mario Broccollio. It said he lived in the downtown core in an apartment over the restaurant called 'Thyme To Eat Bistro'.

After everyone had their own display set up, we always liked to check out the competition. Lewis asked Mario where his garden was set up, as he didn't think there would be a place there at the restaurant. He explained that he had a plot over at the Community Garden beside the Seniors' Retirement complex at the east end of town. Lewis smiled, as he saw a way to knock out one competitor anyway. “Oh, I am sorry, but your garden has to be at your place of residence. You will have to take down your display, I'm afraid, Mr. Broccollio.”

He objected of course. “Oh, I don't know of any rule that says that to be the case. Nobody mentioned it when I signed up, anyway. No, I will leave it up here, thanks just the same.” We saw that Lewis was getting angry now. “We'll see about that. I will get the judges over here and find out for sure.” He turned away in a huff, and went looking for the head judge. That just happened to be his wife's brother, Gord McBean. He was helping get the food tables set up for the judging of the jams, pickles and pies, at the other end of the arena.

He tapped him on the shoulder and said, “Gord, we got a problem with one of our entries over here. Come with me.” He grabbed him by the arm and dragged him back to his section.

He explained the situation, and demanded that Mario be disqualified.

Gord looked flustered.

“Lewis, there is no rule about that at all. Maybe we should stipulate that for next year, but for this year, Mr. Broccollio is fine to enter. Good luck, sir.” He turned and quickly headed back to his other work before Lewis could say anything.

But we all heard the threat -- “We'll see about this!”, Lewis yelled at the departing McBean.

Basil and us other contestants who were setting up, watched in dismay at this outburst of poor sportsmanship. We recognized it for what it really was – a man determined to win at all costs.

I for one expected that meant that he would be bribing the judges to pick his display. I for one suspected that could be why he won so many times over the years, although I had no proof of that.

We had encountered this behavior with Lewis in other years, but never to this extreme.

This was not how it was supposed to be. But Mario didn't say anything to Lewis. He just turned his back to him and continued on finishing up his display, and headed out of the arena.

That was about nine o'clock. The rest of us left about the same time.

Lewis pretended to be still setting up his display, all the while casting a sideways glance at Mario's table. After he was sure no one was looking, Lewis nonchalantly moved over to his table. He pretended to accidentally bump into the table. Some of the rounder vegetables rolled onto the ground, as well as the squash. He picked them up, and made a fuss of re-arranging them. He commented out loud, even though there was no one around to see what he did, “How clumsy of me.” After he was done, it looked really sloppy, and not nearly as decoratively displayed as when Mario had left it. His prize squash had a gouge on the side that was quite noticeable. He then moved away and left the arena.

However, there was one person who had witnessed this disgraceful act from afar. This person was not happy at what had happened there, but smiled as a plan developed to teach Lewis a lesson. This person was also the one responsible for locking up the arena for the night, to ensure that the displays would be safe while the carnival took place outside, and for overnight too.

And I suppose you are thinking that it would be one of the staff of the arena that was responsible for this job on this particular night. Or maybe even McBean, the head judge of the event. Normally that would be a good guess too. But tonight, it just happened to be someone who had been delegated the job from another person of the Society who couldn't make it to the arena that night.

On Saturday morning about eight Basil was the first of us ten contestants to come in to check his display one more time before the judging began.

He came over to his table, and looked it over. He was satisfied with his display. He looked around at the others, and was surprised to see that Lewis's display was gone entirely. All that was left was his name and #2

sign. He thought that was odd.

Then Mario came in and went to his display. He was stunned at how it had changed. Obviously someone had re-arranged it, and made it a lot more appealing and organized than he had left it on Friday night. He went down to ask Basil if he knew who had touched his entry. He said that he had just got here himself, and hadn't seen anyone. They moved along back to Mario's table, and were admiring it when Lewis came strolling in. He had a smirk on his face as he passed the other two. But when he got near his table, he stopped dead in his tracks. He couldn't believe his eyes. His display was gone!

He uttered, “What the....”. He moved right over to the table to try and comprehend what he was – or not – seeing. Then he turned to Basil and Mario and stormed over to confront them.

“All right you little weasels.

Which one of you did it? What did you do with my exhibit?

Where is it? Put it back immediately or I will report you to the judges.” His fists were clenched, and he was turning red in the face. Basil backed right away and scurried out of the arena, hoping to find someone to come back with him and break up this confrontation that he knew was going to happen. That left Mario and Lewis alone.

Lewis threw the first punch. It hit Mario's left cheek. He was a much younger man, and stronger than Lewis. It just bounced off him. He tried to push Lewis away. That only riled him even more, and he charged him again.

This time Mario shuffled sideways, and Lewis missed him altogether. Instead he fell right into Mario's table and knocked it over. Lewis got up, recovered his balance, and lunged at him again. This time Mario tried to subdue Lewis, and they struggled. Finally Mario had had enough. He got Lewis pinned to the ground, and he hit him in the temple, in order to stun him, and stop him from struggling. It worked.

Unfortunately for Mario, that was when a cop and Basil arrived. They pulled him off Lewis. The cop told him that he was going to have to charge him with aggravated assault and battery, for one thing. He was taken away to jail. Lewis was taken to the hospital for observation.

There was utter confusion in the arena. The entire judging ended up being canceled. The perpetrator of this mess was distraught. What started out to be just a plan to teach him a lesson turned into this unintentional turn of events. How quickly our actions can have unexpected consequences, isn't it!

Now that that part of the arena had been cleaned up, and everyone had taken their vegetables and other goodies out, it was roped off. That left the food court and the rest of the booths the only part still open. There were not too many that came in though. Nobody wanted to see the empty part of the arena, knowing what had happened there. But they did have the auction of the food and produce, even though no prize winners were designated. They set up a table outside by the front entrance of the arena, and held it

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

there. It did put a real damper on the rest of the day for the outdoor carnival events. They did go ahead with the planned outdoor concert and fireworks that night.

By then the shock of the morning's events had faded, but not the gossip and chatter.

Rosemary went to the hospital to visit her husband. The doctor on call told her that he was being admitted for observation, but would be discharged on Sunday.

He told her to go in and see him.

When she came into the room, she was shocked to see his battered and bruised face. He had one black eye that looked really ugly, she thought.

She approached the bed, and asked him how he was feeling.

He replied that he was pretty sore, but otherwise fine. He went on. “I would have cleaned his clock, only he hit me first. I'm going to lay charges of course, once I get out of here.”

“No, you are not! He has already been charged and is in jail right now, thanks to you.

And you are going to demand that those charges be dropped!”

She stated it emphatically. She was surprised at her boldness.

Normally she was the meek and mild wife who said little, and went along with her husband's wishes.

“But he stole my display with all my prized vegetables, and he reset his own display up this morning before anyone else got there. That's against the rules, too, you know. It was not that nice last night when I left. I took care of that.” He stopped short, when he realized what he had just admitted to.

But he was even more startled when Rosemary said, “I know. I saw what you did. I was heading to the side door to lock up. You didn't see me, but I sure saw you! Tampering with his lovely display, just so you could knock him out of the running for the judging today is against the rules too Shame on you. So I decided to teach you a lesson. I took your stuff home with me last night.

It was easy for me to remove it after you and everyone else had gone. But don't worry. They are in a garbage bag back home in our basement. I never expected you to react this way, and this certainly was not the outcome that I had planned for, in the least. I'm sorry.” She stopped, and sighed. She looked at him.

She wasn't sure what she saw in his face, for the first time since they had been married 41 years ago. She suspected that he must be stunned at her audacity, and standing up to him. It sure shut him up from saying anything.

That was a first, she mused. So they sat there together in silence for a long time....

So, did anybody expect that it was Rosemary who unleashed this chain of events? I must admit that I was sure Mario really had done it, as did most folks in town. How quickly we are to judge, aren't we... Tom Ato, entrant #8.. (I just pray next year's fall fair won't be as contentious. I also hope Mario will not let this dreadful incident stop him from participating next year.

Generations after their forebears went into exile, the MacDonalds still face seemingly unmitigated hardships and cruelties of life. Alexander, orphaned as a child by a horrific tragedy, has nevertheless gained some success in the world. Even his older brother, Calum, a nearly destitute alcoholic living on Toronto's skid row, has been scarred by another tragedy. But, like all his clansman, Alexander is sustained by a family history that seems to run through his veins. And through these lovingly recounted storieswildly comic or heartbreakingly tragic-we discover the hope against hope upon which every

family must sometimes rely.

Prescription for a healthy community By: Dr. Marlene Spruyt, Medical Officer of Health, Algoma Public Health communities in order to protect and promote health – from safe drinking water systems to smoke-free public spaces.

The weeks leading up to municipal elections are an important and exciting time for those of us who work in public health. It’s a time when local citizens gather, speak and listen to one another about the future of our community. We may each have different ideas about what that future looks like and how we get there. As the Medical Officer of Health for Algoma, I hope that, if there is one common vision we all share, it’s that the future of our community is a healthy one.

Municipalities and local public health agencies have a longstanding history of working together and designing our

Many opportunities exist for us to address current health issues through community design and local public policies. For example, zoning bylaws can help protect our children and youth from inappropriate access and exposure to tobacco and cannabis.

Municipalities can also take the lead in combatting stigma in mental health and addiction. Community leaders can ally with local agencies, support access to treatment, and use language that focuses on strength, resiliency, and capacity, rather than labels and blaming. In fact, public policies that take a preventive and public health approach may have a significant return on investment when it comes to the costs of municipally-provided paramedic and police services.

The availability of health services in northern Ontario is vital to community wellness. Just as important, however, is having safe, reliable, and affordable transportation to get to our health providers, schools, workplaces, and community hubs. Now, more than ever, northern Ontarians need our local leaders to work with each other and with the provincial government, so that we can bridge transportation gaps within and between our communities, and build sustainable transportation

solutions for all northern Ontarians – regardless of income, geographic location, or disability status.

Creating healthier communities goes beyond health care. In fact, it is within our local municipalities where we find the basic foundations of health for every person, from safe homes to good education and job opportunities. Systemlevel strategies that promote youth employment and age-friendly design are powerful, upstream ways to promote overall health and well-being.

Local citizens have a strong voice when it comes to shaping our communities for the better. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with countless community members and leaders, whose passion and dedication have helped to build communities that are healthier by design. This fall, I encourage all of my fellow citizens in Algoma to participate in the municipal elections and share in Algoma Public Health’s vision: together we create and sustain healthy communities.
