8 cattle beasts lost to Green Bay
farmer after single lightning strike
by Michael Erskine
GREEN BAY—Small family farms bring with them a
wealth of deep satisfaction and delight for those
hardy individuals who nurture their fields in the
face of all that Mother Nature tosses their way each
season. But the joys of watching the literal fruits of
your labours grow and prosper can be offset with
heartbreakingly abrupt tragedy, as months and
years of labour are arbitrarily wiped out in a flash
by a chance turn in the weather.
Tragedy came calling in Green Bay farmer Bruce
Wood’s fields this past weekend when a neighbour
knocked on his door to tell him that some of his cat-
tle were lying still under a tree in one of his pastures.
When he went to investigate, he found that a bolt of
lightning had struck a tall cedar under which eight
of his cows were sheltering from the storm—instantly killing eight bred heifers and their as-yet unborn
calves.
Climbing toward where the cattle carcasses lie forlornly packed together under the shattered cedar rising from a rain-soaked pasture on a steep hillside
overlooking the road below, farmer Bruce Wood
points to an outcropping of dolomite bursting up

province, will soon ditch its old
reputation as the Township of
Assiginack received good news
earlier this month that it has been
approved for round three funding
from the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Framework to
the tune of $1.8 million specifically for Cardwell Street.
Clerk-treasurer Alton Hobbs
explained that this funding will
see the road completely rebuilt
and asphalted—a long term solution to a problem that has gone
unsolved for years, despite both
the municipality’s and Wikwemikong’s best efforts to raise
awareness of the issue of the deteriorating main thoroughfare into
Manitoulin’s largest community.
Cardwell Street was also a constant source of front-page news
over almost a decade in this newspaper, and The Expositor also
often encouraged the improvement of the street as part of its
editorial commentary.

LITTLE CURRENT—It’s not
every day that someone unselfishly helps a stranger without the
desire for recognition (or financial gain), but that is just what Little Current nurse Victor Ching
did earlier this summer when he
offered the use of his Toronto condo to Ryan and Karrie Graham
and their seven-month-old baby
girl Harper who required
chemotherapy
treatment
at
Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital.
“I work with Harper’s great
aunt Judy (Ferguson) here at the
hospital,” explained Mr. Ching,
who is originally from Toronto
but who has been working at the
Manitoulin Health Centre (MHC)
in Little Current for the last eight
months. “Judy was one of the people who mentored me here and
she mentioned in passing what
was happening with Harper and
since my condo was free, I offered
it to her family.”

M’Chigeeng elections 2013
Two vie for chief’s position in M’Chigeeng First Nation
Joe Hare bases campaign on experience
by Michael Erskine
M’CHIGEENG—Incumbent Chief Joe Hare is putting his long tenure as
chief of the M’Chigeeng
First Nation central to his
bid for reelection and touting his many years of experience at the council helm
under the theme of ‘Experience Counts.’
Chief Hare cites what he
characterized as the “excellent progress” the community is making under his
leadership and he credits
the support of the band
council members who he
said “support a new way of
doing business.”
“There has been a shift
to broadening skills and
education support so that
just about anyone who
wants to further his/her
their education or learn a
new skill can access this
Joe Hare
support,” he says in a written statement sent to The
Expositor in response to a
request for comments.
Chief Hare said his goal
is to see M’Chigeeng
“become an education and
skills centre and have other First Nations members
come to M’Chigeeng to better their education.”
To
that
end,
the
M’Chigeeng community
has been building infrastructure that also serves
and benefits “our own band
members and businesses.”
Chief Hare cites a new
program for band members
currently on social assistance that will provide
“training and work opportunities to anyone who
wants to get ahead” that
will soon start in the community as an example of
the forward looking focus
on building a better local
economy.
To further that end, the
band is developing a labour

by Michael Erskine
M’CHIGEENG—“My main
focus is on the community
and community input,” said
candidate for M’Chigeeng
chief Martin Debassige,
who noted that he has been
visiting households where
he has been sitting and listening to the people of his
community. “It is important
to be able to listen to people,” he said. “Listen to
every individual that has
something to say.”
What he has been hearing
at the doorstep and in the
kitchens and living rooms
of people in the M’Chigeeng
community is first and foremost a desire to see a local
grocery store outlet in the
community. “People have
been asking about this for
many years and they have
seen no progress, they hear
a lot of promises and a lot
Martin Debassige
of talk around election
time, but none of it has ever
come to pass,” he said. “People are getting tired of
promises
instead
of
action.”
He noted that the community believes that a large
grocery outlet in the community would not only
serve the community with
fresh food at reasonable
prices, but also provide jobs
for members of the community. “Economic development has always been an
important consideration
and it always will be important for everyone in the
community,” he said. “It has
to be done in line with community input, not just the
ideas of a few people without consultation of the community members.”
Mr. Debassige cited concerns that he has heard
from elders in the community that he has visited.
“They are saying that there

Allan Tustian releases book about his
naval exploits during World War II
by Betty Bardswich
MINDEMOYA—Alma and Allan Tustian are a
popular Mindemoya couple and a great many
people stopped by to say hello and buy a book
signed by Mr. Tustian at the Island Foodland
store on August 24. Edited by Mr. Tustian’s
daughter Jeanne Lefebvre and his good friend
Wayne Neal, the book is titled ‘Allan Tustian
and The Battle of the Atlantic’ and tells the story of the exploits of the Royal Canadian Navy
and Mr. Tustian’s role in the war against Germany for control of the ocean.
As Ms. Lefebvre explained, Mr. Tustian starting writing his memories down and then she
put his notes on the computer and did some
editing. Mr. Neal, who has an interest in military history, added technical details, helped
with the editing and put the book together and
stressed the importance of this account. “Allan
is a good friend and a good friend to a lot of people,” Mr. Neal said, “and I think it’s important
that young people know about this and know
that Allan made 43 crossings.”
Mr. Tustian had a few months of army training and joined the medical corps before hitching up with the navy. He had always been fascinated with boats, ever since his first boat ride
to Mindemoya Island, now called Treasure
Island, when he was eight-years-old. Mr. Tustian worked at the island lodge until 1940 when
he headed off to Toronto to find winter work
which included a job at a service station, a
lamp store and at Bowls Lunch counter. In the
spring of 1941, Mr. Tustian decided to enlist
and underwent basic training in Newmarket
that summer. His hut corporal was a World War
One vet by the name of Jones and Mr. Tustian
ran into him years later in downtown Mindemoya talking to his father-in-law Watson
Smeltzer. “It turns out that he had married
Watson’s sister Violet Smeltzer,” Mr. Tustian
explained. “Small world, isn’t it?”
It is obvious throughout the book that there
is nothing wrong with Mr. Tustian’s memory as
he talks about his army and medical corps

LITTLE CURRENT—Jim Nies of
the Manitoulin Area Stewarship
Council (MASC) was the guest
speaker last Wednesday night at
the annual Cruisers’ Net Rendezvous Pot Luck dinner where
he spoke on Stop the Drop, a campaign to “engage users in sustained self-education, dialogue
and activity to address water level issues in Georgian Bay.”
The stewardship council has
teamed up with the campaign
with the goal of having 20,000
registrants by this upcoming
Labour Day weekend.
“Stop the Drop was started by
Colin Dobell, a resident of Southern Georgian Bay,” Mr. Nies
explained. “He contacted us
(MASC) and we met with him
this past spring. We realized we
had a similar goal in addressing
water level issues in Georgian
Bay and joined with him in the
campaign.”
Mr. Nies explained that Stop
the Drop is a non-profit campaign to bring attention to the
low water level issues in Georgian Bay, Lake Huron and other
Great Lakes, encouraging leaders to take action.
The campaign is seeking all
lake users over the age of 10 from
cottagers, boaters, shoreline residents and business owners to
sign up and help the cause.
“The campaign wants to
engage all users of the lakes and
bring people together so that
everyone is aware,” continued
Mr. Nies. “We want leadership to
know that there is a large group
of constituents watching with
expectations for something to be
done about the dropping water
levels. We don’t want to lose the
Great Lakes.”
The group that assembled for
the presentation was mostly
from the boating community,
many of whom had already registered with the campaign or
were looking for more information on the campaign.
Mr. Nies explained that the
campaign presently had just over
15,000 signatures and was hoping
for all present at the meeting to
sign up, if they hadn’t already
done so, and to also encourage
their friends and family to join
the campaign as well.
To register, visit www.stopthedrop.ca. Registration takes only
a few minutes, and as Mr. Nies
pointed out, has the potential to
make a big impact.

Cardwell Street improvements could use cycling paths
Who knows the names of individual streets and roads within particular municipalities? No one, usually, except for the people who live in
the towns and often even they are hard-pressed to know the name of
an individual street in their own town, unless they happen to live on,
or near, it.
The exception is Assiginack Township’s Cardwell Street, the roadway that runs from the intersection diagonally across from the southeast corner of the Manitowaning fairgrounds to the Wikwemikong
border. It passes the former Manitowaning Lodge and the entry road
to the Assiginack Curling Club and the Rainbow Ridge Golf Course.
It’s not very long, not quite three kilometres, but many Manitoulin
people have at least a vague idea of where it is, not least of all for the
reason that it topped the annual “Ontario’s Worst Roads” competition
three years ago.
It’s become well known because it had deteriorated through use
and, because it connects with Wikwemikong Way, that large First
Nation community’s main thoroughfare, it is the only access in and
out of Wikwemikong.
Wikwemikong council made the issue a prominent one with their
neighbouring municipality, asking with some urgency that the road
be upgraded and citing reasons of safety. That campaign began nearly a decade ago.
Suddenly Cardwell Street was in the news, often on the front page
of this paper, and has remained so for several years as Assiginack
council went to the extent of meeting provincial cabinet ministers on
the issue at the annual Ontario Good Roads Convention and, failing to
see much progress, Wikwemikong even investigated the possibility of
building its own new road which would have connected directly with
Highway 6.
That’s how one fairly short, but important street became locally
famous.
In the way of these things, though, Assiginack Township has finally accessed the money it needs to properly rebuild and resurface this
busy and now famous roadway without placing a large financial burden on its taxpayers. (It has also made patchwork improvements over
the years.)
It’s a testament to the persistence of everyone concerned.
But is the story over?
We have also reported much on adding paved shoulders to provincial highways when they are being rebuilt and resurfaced in the interest of safety for the bicycling community and to encourage more
cycling activity.
Cardwell Street, at least from its Manitowaning end down to the
curling club and golf course intersection, would also be a good candidate for paved shoulders/bike lanes as the street is improved as this
could be part of a useful cycling route that could also include the
sideroad that runs past the length of the Rainbow Ridge Golf Course
and over to McMullan Road and then across to the paved shoulders on
Highway 6 and back to Manitowaning.
The sideroads are less well travelled and Highway 6 already has the
paved shoulders.
This short stretch (about half) of Cardwell Street, with paved shoulders, would give the people of Manitowaning and visitors a safe and
useful circuit, long enough to be a source of meaningful exercise.
Since Cardwell Street has become well-known on Manitoulin in a
negative context, what a powerful message would be delivered should
this much-aligned street be turned into part of a cycling route that
would be the envy of other communities.
It’s worth thinking about.

NEMI Taxpayers group calls for think tank to approach tax rates
It is up to council to work to find a satisfactory solution to tax differentials
To the Expositor:
The NEMI Taxpayers’ Association would like to applaud the efforts
of the McGregor Bay Association in speaking up about taxation in
NEMI. That is what associations such as ours are about—speaking up
for our members and taxpayers and that is why we spoke about the
retirees in Wards 2, 3 and 4 at the August 7 public meeting. This was a
decision made by our board unanimously at their June meeting. The
CAO presented at the public meeting the exact figures for municipal
taxation based on $100,000 worth of assessment per wards. It was interesting to see this since it was the first time in the 7.5 years we have voluntarily attended municipal meetings and budget deliberations for our
members that we can remember having seen the exact figures. It clearly showed that Ward 1 taxpayers pay about $500 per $100,000 worth of
assessment less than property owners in wards 2, 3 and 4. On an
assessed property value of $300,000 which is a realistic figure for properties on the water including in Wards 3 and 4, the cost of municipal
taxes are approximately $1,500 more for Wards 2, 3 and 4 and keeps
growing each year. We agree that Ward 1 brings in $683,312 in taxes
yearly to NEMI and we all appreciate their contribution to keeping our
municipality viable and healthy. We also appreciate the contributions
of Ward 2 taxpayers whose taxes amount to $1,217,556 and their many
volunteers who keep our organizations and clubs working to better our
lives. We also appreciate the contributions of Wards 3 and 4 taxpayers
whose taxes amount to $1,831,256 in 2013 and provide countless volunteer hours to community halls, organizations and clubs both in their
wards and also in Ward 2. What we are saying is that all of the taxpayers play an important role in keeping our municipality healthy and
viable for the future but this must be at an affordable price for all.
The province changed the taxation picture in Ontario when it
empowered MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation) to do
the property values assessments for municipalities. According to a
municipal adviser at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs on August 23,
MPAC has a formula for assessing values based on waterfront availability plus services plus roads. Simply put, if there is no road access,
the value is less. If there are limited services, the value is less. If the
property is not on waterfront, it is less. Ward 1 taxpayers have no road
access to the islands and limited services other than the Ministry of
Natural Resources Fire Protection Package purchased for them and
Wards 3 and 4 this year through the municipal budget. So that benefits
them when their assessment is determined. The municipality then
determines what they need to run the municipality and divides it up
between their taxpayers. It is our council that decides how the taxes are
distributed to the wards, not MPAC. So when Ward 3 and 4 taxpayers
hear that they pay for 66 2/3 percent of the 1.4 million dollar roads item
in the budget, Ward 2 pays for 33 1/3 percent, and Ward 1 pays 0 percent,
understandably taxpayers are upset.
Ward 4, the old Howland Township, readily amalgamated with Little
Current. They saw the value in working on a united front. They made
no deals with council and continue to pay their share regardless as to
how they feel about the taxation. One councilor stated after the August
7 meeting that amalgamation has not worked. Well then it is up to our
council to ensure that it does work. According to Municipal Affairs and
Housing, there is no process for de-amalgamation. That means that taxpayers must work through their municipal councilors for equality of
rights. Speak to every councilor about your taxes; it is your right to do
so. Councillors have indicated to us that they want to hear from you, the
taxpayer. The Think Tank approach to solving this problem which was
suggested by the NEMI Taxpayers’ Association in February was turned
down by council. This would have been a proactive opportunity for a
committee (with stakeholders from all wards) to brainstorm ideas and
suggestions about the taxation dilemmas we face in NEMI. Council
rejected this idea without explanation. The NEMI Taxpayers’ Association is once again calling on council to reconsider striking a municipal
committee and give business people and regular taxpayers who want to
solve this problem, an opportunity to make suggestions. Our hats are
off to the Ward 1 property owner who stood up at the August 7 meeting
and stated that surely there must be a solution to this problem. We
agree with her. It’s up to council to work to find it.

Wind turbine editorial decried
‘A cheap shoddy shot concerning a subject about which you have little knowledge’
To the Expositor:
While vacationing on the Island a few weeks ago, I read with interest
the editorial of July 31, 2013 about the building of additional industrial
wind turbines on Manitoulin.
If I were to choose one word to describe the content of this editorial,
it would be the adjective sophomoric, to be understood in its plain
meaning of shallow, immature, and juvenile. I say this because I live in
a community in which a compliant municipal council welcomed the
hucksters of green energy, which led to the building of more than 150
wind turbines with more to come, in an area much smaller than Manitoulin, known as the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. The result has
been that property values here have fallen, there has been an increase
in reports of people suffering mental and physical difficulties and sadly the building of the turbines has caused a sense of enmity amongst
many members of the community.
The jobs created in building the turbines were temporary and many
of them went to workers from outside the community and as for the
industry that was expected to follow in the turbines’ wake, we are still
waiting 10 years later.
The moral of the story is that the citizen who placed and paid for the
full page ad which prompted your editorial should not be held up to
ridicule but listened to. In case I have not made myself clear, I think
your editorial of July 31 was a cheap, shabby shot concerning a subject
about which you have little knowledge let alone the competence to
understand. If the building of the turbines proceeds, it will bring grave
harm to a beautiful part of the world.
At least you have partially fulfilled Tom Paine’s saying on your mast
head, “who dares not offend cannot be honest” by offending in the interest of a qualified sense of honesty.

Islanders capture exotic cats and return to owners
Proof positive that Manitouliners care about their community members
To the Expositor:
We wish to convey to the citizens of Bay Estates our
deepest gratitude for your many calls, tips and support in
helping us find our lost male Savannah cat Rusty. We are
overwhelmed with the volume of calls since publishing our
missing exotic cat article in the Expositor on August 14.
Chris Brownlee originally photographed Rusty in late July
on her property thinking it may have been a young cougar.
This would photo would have made an excellent submission for a $500 Expositor reward had it been verified as
such. Unknown to readers, the cat seen in that photo was
but one of our two escaped Savannah cats. We were hoping
that the newspaper article would have been able to locate
and uncover both of them. The male cat near Bay Estates
was a three-year-old F2 Savannah named Rusty who was
roaming Bay Estates lakeshore properties hungry and disorientated. The other lost cat was a spotted F3 Savannah
female cat named Tabitha whose whereabouts were
unknown. We offered a $250 reward for each cat should
someone manage to safely capture them. The fate of our
cats was completely out of our control; however citizens of
Manitoulin should never be underestimated when it comes
to action!
Since the article, we would like to thank the many people
who have called and responded to sightings within the Bay
Estates area. On August 14 (after reading the missing cat
article) I received an email from a South Bay neighbour a
few streets away stating that a wandering spotted cat
befriended the couple six weeks ago. They believed this
spotted feline might be one our cats and had been hanging
around their home for weeks. As it turns out, Dave and
Shirley Nelder of Lonesome Pine Trail were very correct
for they had located our dearly missed Tabitha. We owe the
Nelders a sincere debt of gratitude for their kindness and
neighbourly goodwill in swiftly responding given our circumstances. Rusty, the Bay Estates nomad, we thought
would be almost impossible to catch. We were greatly mistaken! The elusive Rusty was caught in a raccoon trap last
week by a very caring Bay Estates resident, Gary Desbarais, who was single-mindedly determined to catch
Rusty on our behalf after reading the article. After days of
setting traps and catching his share of skunks Mr. Desbarais gave us the call on August 20 excitedly proclaiming
that Rusty was safely contained and safe in his house. We
would like to bless Gary and his wife for their compassion
and selfless effort trying to get our Rusty back for us given
his skittish temperament. Yes, we are happy to have our
pets returned but as we learned through this journey, lost
and found cats are not the real story. In any context of loss,
it remains the kind, persevering spirit of area Manitoulin
residents such as Dave and Shirley Nelder and Gary Desbarais for helping fellow neighbours in distress that really
constitutes the actual feature story of this article! Let us
remember that The Manitoulin Expositor’s coverage of
our story is also directly responsible for making this all
happen. Whether you lose a pet, a wallet, your house keys

History once again made at the Dodge Lodge
Couple have opportunity to celebrate a life denied to automotive newlywed heir and his wife
To the Expositor:
On Saturday, August 24, an important wedding took
place at the legendary Dodge Lodge just outside of Kagawong. Heidi Schwarzli and Rob Martel were married at the
former home of Daniel Dodge, heir to the Dodge Motor
Company Fortune. The bride was given away by her father
Bernie Schwarzli, the current owner of the Dodge Lodge
along with his wife Cindy.
It was just over 75 years that a great tragedy happened at
the lodge that still haunts the memory of this famous property. As a result, a bride and groom never got the chance to
celebrate the life they could have had. Now an opportunity
has befallen this historic site that will correct that injustice. A new chapter has now been written in the story of
the Dodge Lodge because never before had a wedding taken
place there. Happy times are back and Daniel and his bride
Laurine are undoubtedly giving their blessing to Heidi and
Rob for a long life together. May their spirits always watch
over you.
The Billings Museum Board would like to congratulate
Heidi and Rob on their marriage and offer their appreciation for choosing this location to celebrate it.
Sincerest wishes,
The Billings Museum Board
Higher water levels should not lead to complacency over Stop the Drop campaign
One warm winter and spring can undo all the gains made this year
To the Expositor:
Good winter ice coverage, a wet spring and cool periods
this summer have all contributed to our higher water levels this year. That has been much to the relief of us all.
However, one warm winter and spring can undo all that
gain.
The IJC recommendation to slow the water loss at the St.
Clair River is in the hands of the American Secretary of
State and our Minister of Foreign Affairs. Although both
parties have a lot of important tasks at hand, we must keep
attention on the plight of Lakes Huron-Michigan. The best
way for you to do that is by registering with www.stopthedrop.ca
The Stop the Drop campaign has been in operating in
Georgian Bay and Manitoulin all summer. Despite the
added pressure of higher water levels, the Stop the Drop
team can see the goal of 20,000 registrants in sight. But
they need your help to make it.
Joining Stop the Drop.ca is free. Our message does not
advocate a specific cause or solution to the water level
issue, but rather asks politicians to notice that their voters
are paying attention to this issue, and to what they do, or do
not do, about it. The website has strict privacy policies in
place to ensure information is not shared with outside
commercially-oriented parties.
Please join us. Get the kids, the grandkids and anyone
you know who enjoys this sweetwater sea to register at

Divisions amongst churches are not the will of God
It should be about spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ and God, not church buildings on Sundays
To The Expositor:
Further to the editorial in the Wednesday, August 14, 2013
Manitoulin Expositor “Succession challenges present ecumenical opportunity,” Page 4.
Quote: “This is a ticklish topic because people are very
closely tied emotionally to their own church buildings and
the religious traditions that they’ve grown up with and
which, to a large extent, defines who they are.”
This paragraph outlines why the problems of one God
and too many religions have God’s world divided and
destroyed. It seems to be about all the different types of
denominations and not about the one true Saviour Jesus
Christ and God. Everyone is divided by denominations not
by God. It should be all about God and his worship and
spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and God around the
world, not just the church buildings on Sundays.
Yours truly,

Monarch butterfly decline has gone beyond cyclical anomaly
Planting milkweed and controlling dog strangling vine populations is required to help stem extinction
To the Expositor:
It is sad, but not surprising, that the monarch butterfly is
on the decline. The decline in the monarch population now
marks a statistical long-term trend and can no longer be
seen as a combination of yearly or seasonal events. Last
winter there was a 59 percent decline in Mexico in the number of monarch butterflies that arrived at their wintering
grounds. Rather than their numbers covering approximately 14 acres, their numbers occupied only slightly less
than three acres. There are now only one-fifteenth as many
monarch butterflies as there were in 1997.
Research shows that the monarchs have been in decline
for the past decade for many reasons. In the US and Cana-
da, it is noted that extreme climate variation, farming
practices involving corn and soybeans that eliminate milkweed from the growing fields and the increase in the
growth of strangling dog vine, a milkweed cousin, on
which the butterflies lay their eggs, but the larvae do not
survive have contributed to the decline. I have always kept
a patch of milkweed in my yard in Sheg and have noted in
the past three years that there have been no larvae or
chrysalis on my plants. I was somewhat uplifted this year
to note that the milkweed was being consumed only to see
that it was the larvae of the milkweed tussock moth—a bit
disappointing.
Omar Vidal, the World Wildlife Fund director in Mexico,
said: “The conservation of the monarch butterfly is a
shared responsibility between Mexico, the United States
and Canada. By protecting the reserves and having practically eliminated large-scale illegal logging, Mexico has
done its part. It is now necessary for the United States and
Canada to do their part and protect the butterflies’ habitat
in their territories.” It is thought that both planting milkweed and trying to control the Dog Strangling Vine population would help to provide the environment the butterflies
require to successfully breed in North America. ‘Can we do
it and will we do it’ is my question.

Angels in the Peewee field
It is great to hear that there will be another Manitoulin Ice Angels
team entering the Nickel District League. For the 2013 – 2014 hockey
season co-managers Denise Sheppard and Greg Niven will be putting
together a Peewee (Grade 6 and 7) Ice Angel team. They are planning to
play out of M’Chigeeng and look to be a force in the NDHL and of
course in any of the provincial all-girls tournaments. If you are interested in making the team, tryouts are Monday, September 9 and Wednesday, September 11 from 7 to 8:30 pm in Little Current. For more
information, parents can call either Greg at (705) 377-4055 or Denise at

PROVIDENCE BAY—As the
trucks roll in and begin to unload
the amusements of the annual
Providence Bay fair, Robbie
Cranston’s crew works tediously
behind the attractions, putting
the finishing touches on one of
the few remaining motocross
(MX) race tracks in the Canadian
Moto Sport Racing (CMRC) Central Series.
The Providence Bay Motocross
track has been a staple in the
series for the better part of a
decade. Prior to its inception to
the series, only a handful of avid
racers left the Island each summer weekend in pursuit of competitive racing action. The Island
now sends a caravan of race trailers and a solid contingent of competitive racers to each Central
Ontario series race and has
proven to be a development hub
Manitoulin Panthers announce development camps
The Manitoulin Panthers Association have set up a series of hockey
development camps for all Atom, PeeWee, Bantam and Midget players
and coaches. The Atoms and PeeWees will be paired up from 5:30 – 8:30
pm on September 3, 4, 5 and 6. The older Bantam and Midget crew will
hit the ice from 7 – 10 pm on the same dates all at the NEMI Recreation
Complex. The skills that will be focussed on will cover: power skating,
shooting, passing, positioning, hockey tactics, dryland training and nutrition, among others. The cost for all of this valuable ice time is $85
per goalie and $175 for all other players. For more information you can
check out www.manitoulinpanthers.ca or call Brad Bailey (282-0865),
Dan Charette ((377-5406) or Craig Abotossaway (368-3782). BTW: a
coaches development session will go from 6 to 10 pm on August 29 (tomorrow!).
Terry Fox 2013!
Once again you can be a part of this year’s Terry Fox Run on Sunday,
September 15, starting at 1 pm. This will be the 3rd year in a row for the
Little Current Terry Fox Run hosted down at beautiful Low Island.
There is a 1km, 2km, 5km or 10km option. The 1 and 2km runs are simply a lap or 2 of the scenery of the Low Island trail... safe from traffic,
and perfect for kids and/or pets. For runners who like a challenge, the
5 and 10km routes go along Water St, to Robinson, to Red Mill to North
Channel Drive out to either of the turn-around points marked for the 5
and 10km. You may bike, run, skip, stroll, walk, wheel or blade...and
best of all there is no entry fee and no minimum donation to participate. Enter as a team, register and fundraise online, or pick up your
own individual pledge form and knock on doors to get your pledges.
Visit www.terryfox.org for inspiration and some very helpful tips, or
contact the Little Current run organizer Joanna Rosenbaum for further details, such as where to pick up a pledge form in your area. She
can be reached at (705) 377-6244 or joanna.r@manitoulinphysio.ca.
MIDRA on home turf
The Manitoulin Island Dirt Riders Association were extremely
pleased to see an increase of riders from their recent races as well as
welcoming some of their old(er) riders and even brand new ones out to
show support for MIDRA at the Providence Bay Fair Motocross Races.
Placings are a little sketchy at this point but it is just great to see so
many local riders participating. Jacob Nichols placed second and had
a great race against first time rider Brady Dearing from Gore Bay running in third. Hunter Cranston, who just back from Nationals at Walton, put on a great show as usual. Bradley Stapleton is always amazing
to watch and he too had a great battle in his class. Zac Nichols and
Jarvis Debassige unfortunately both had bike troubles again. Other
Midra riders were Alyssa Cranston, Derrek Debassige, Jason McMurray, and the newest members to Midra were the amazing Christopher and Steven White brothers from Manitowaning who did a great
job for their very first race! The team is still crossing their fingers that
Alayna Cranston can return as soon as possible after her injury at the
beginning of the summer. Once again, MIDRA really appreciated all
the riders and supporters who made the trip to Manitoulin’s amazing
course.

Manitoulin riders have won Central Series championships in
nearly every race class CMRC has
to offer. With a few years of racing
under my belt, I can attest to the
time commitment, practice, fitness, focus and parts catalogues it
takes to win. Notable Islanders
among the list of past series

This race day however, was
defined by a new generation of
Manitoulin’s fastest. With track
conditions at their all-time best,
throngs of fans enjoyed the exciting bar to bar action. Thunderbird Racing rider Bradley Stapleton and Jason McMurray, two of
the Island’s fastest competitors in
recent history finished second
and first respectively in the intermediate MX2 and MX1 classes.
The Nichols brothers were on
hand to keep any challengers honest: Zach’s effort unfortunately

Manitoulin Minor Hockey Registration
It is that time of the year when the six members of the Manitoulin
Minor Hockey Association need to know how many players and therefore, teams will make up their local association’s fleet of teams for the
2013 – 2014 season. Most community associations need to know by midSeptember how many NOHA player cards they need to purchase or forfeit. Manitowaning’s registration is taking place next week for sure but
most other communities will also need to get their stats together soon
as well. If you are unsure, please contact your local minor hockey executive to get their local registration information soon as most offer an
early registration incentive to save the organized some money.

the Providence Bay Motocross
track is unclear. Rumblings have

the last race held at the storied

First annual All Ontario Native Horseshoe
Championships toss a ringer in M’Chigeeng
by Robin Burridge
M’CHIGEENG—The first
annual All Ontario Native
Horseshoe Championships
(AONHC) organized and
hosted by the Rainbow
Ringers Horseshoe Club in
M’Chigeeng First Nation
earlier this month was an
overwhelming
success
bringing together almost
100 players from First
Nations
across
the
province.
“The event went great,”
AONHC tournament convener Nicole Fox reported
to The Expositor. “We had
participants
from
M’Chigeeng, Wikwemikong
Unceeded Indian Reserve,
Mattagami First Nation
and Upper Mohawk Six
Nations in Brantford. We
planned the whole thing in
only two months so we didn’t know what to expect, but
everything came together
really well.”
The idea for the tournament came from one of the
Rainbow Ringers’ founding
fathers,
Cheyenne
Migwans, who helped
organize the tournament
along with his wife Cecile,
daughters Ashley Migwans
and Nicole Fox, and the other members of the club.
“My dad wanted to organize something like this for a
few years now,” explained
Ashley Migwans. “The club
has been doing so well and
we just wanted to start
something to get leagues
together and there is nothing else like this out there.”
Cecile Migwans shared
that the Rainbow Ringers
was founded in 2007 by
“four founding fathers”
Cheyenne Migwans, Ken
Migwans,
Edward
Debassige and John Ense.
“It originally started

from across Canada and the
States.”
The master of ceremonies for the weekend
was Jerry Debassige, with
Grand Council Chief of the
Union of Ontario Indians
Patrick Madahbee attending the opening ceremonies.
The tournament kicked
off Friday night with 10
players competing in the
men’s master division, 55
plus. First place was won by
Rocky Taibossigai, while
second place went to
Cheyenne Migwans, and
third went to Malcolm
Simon.
Saturday the tournament
started back up with the
men’s double division.
Fourteen teams competed
with Eugene Eshkwawkogan and Rodney Lavallee
taking home the first place
trophy. Second place went
to Rodney McKay and Larry Naveau and third went to

“Many of the matches
were very close,” said Ms.
Fox. “In the mixed divisions there were many
upsets as the top seeded
teams were put out in the
first playoff round.”
“I am really happy with
the tournament,” Edward
Debassige told The Expositor. “It has just been a good
time for everyone to come
together. It is nice to see
people from different
reserves here.”
“I love the great comaraderie,”

MANITOULIN—The final round of the
Manitoulin Fastball League championships were to begin last night (Tuesday,
August 27) with traditional rivals the Wiky

In the second round of the semi-finals,
the pattern repeated itself with AOK dominating their series with Mindemoya three
games to none and Wiky triumphing over
Gore Bay three games to none.
The Wiky Lumberjacks met the AOK
Raiders to start the final series on Tuesday
in a best of five series. Games two and

Officers arrived on scene and observed the father administering CPR to his six-year-old son. OPP officers relieved
the father and continued resuscitation efforts before paramedics arrived on the scene and continued resuscitation.
Members of the Assiginack Volunteer Fire Department
also arrived on scene to assist. The child was immediately
transported to the Manitoulin Health Centre in Little Current. After an extensive attempt at resuscitation by the

medical staff at the hospital, the boy was pronounced dead
by the attending doctor.
After investigation, police learned that the parents and
their five children were present inside the home at the time
of the incident. The child had briefly made his way outside
of the residence and was quickly discovered in the pool by
his parents.
The local coroner attended the hospital and ordered a
post mortem examination at Sudbury Heath Science North
for Monday, August 26 to determine the exact cause of
death.
...Cardwell Street gets $1.8 million in upgrades
Street took home the top honours in the annual Canadian
Automobile Association’s (CAA) Worst Roads list. It made
the list in the years following too and in June of 2008, a special meeting was held with former Indian and Northern
Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl with both then Wikwemikong Chief Robert Corbiere and Assiginack Reeve
Leslie Fields in attendance.
Also that same year Assiginack gave Cardwell Street a
band-aid solution of tar and chip thanks to emergency
funding from the Ministry of Transportation, which
helped to smooth the ride.
The municipality is currently consulting with its engineers but, Mr. Hobbs explained, work might have to wait
until 2014.
MANITOULIN COMMUNITY
WITHDRAWAL MANAGEMENT SERVICE
Cardwell Street falls within the boundaries of Assiginack, but is the sole road into the Wikwemikong Unceded
Indian Reserve. Both parties have tried over the years to
draw attention to its importance, but until now have been
turned down.
“I think it’s really good news, especially considering we
are one of the driving forces of the economy of Assiginack, as well as the entire region,” Wikwemikong Chief
Duke Peltier told The Expositor.
The chief said that having the main thoroughfare in
suitable shape is important for all kinds of reasons, among
them the fact that his community has made significant
investments in tourism infrastructure. Having a smooth
ride into Wikwemikong makes it more welcoming for people to come, he added, as well as to do business.

A program with the Ministry of the Attorney General
...cattle beasts lost after single lightning strike
through the thin soil underfoot. “We can’t even bury
them here,” he said. “We
have to take them down the
hill and over to another pasture where there is some
deeper soil.”
As we arrive at the site of
the lightning strike, the
bodies of the dead cows are
badly distended from the
gases building up within.
The legs of an unborn calf
protrude from one of the
heifers. The carcasses had
already started to bloat
within hours of the deaths
and that was yesterday. “It’s
hard to even look at,” said
Mr. Wood.
The financial hit to the
Wood farm from this
tragedy is likely to be substantial, even though he
does have insurance, he
doesn’t know how much of
the loss will be covered and
it is pretty certain that the
coverage will not extend to
the loss of the unborn
calves. “These are $1,600
cows,” he notes, their actual value lying somewhere in
the range between $1,600
and $2,000 apiece. But the
farmer’s loss extends far
beyond the initial financial
hit.
Mr. Wood shakes his head
as he ducks under the tree
to begin pulling tags from
the ears of the cows. “This
here was my best cow.” he
said, pausing to look down
over a still pale white body
lying right next to the tree
trunk.
These are the animals
that Mr. Wood hand-picked
to be the future foundation
of his small herd of 55 cattle. He knew each one of
these animals well, understood the various quirks in
their personalities and
their individual character
habits. “They are almost
like pets,” he said.
Mr. Wood looks out
across the valley below the
hill back toward the road. “I
wish I could move them out
of sight of the road at
least.” But he can’t. Mr.
Wood has to wait for the
insurance adjuster to come
and verify the loss before he
can begin to move the bodies. All morning he and his
uncle have been waiting by
the phone in the farmhouse
for the call from the insurance company. Meanwhile
the cattle are deteriorating
fast in the hot August
weather.
“They will start to smell
soon,” notes Mr. Wood as we
begin to walk back down
the hillside. “It is tricky to
move them. You have to be
careful how you do it.” The
methane buildup within
cattle can actually cause
the bodies to rupture and
even explode, with very
unfortunate results.
Like most farmers Mr.
Wood is taciturn in most of
his communications and
not much for complaining,
he takes the loss of his herd
with the resigned air of a
seasoned tiller of the soil
and there is little to read of
emotion on his face. But the
farmer notes that he would
prefer to make the connection with the insurance
adjuster sooner rather than
later. Mr. Wood wants to
make the rounds of his other pastures and check on
the rest of his small herds.
“Right now I don’t even
know if they are alright,”
he said.
His son had reported seeing one calf born to one of
his heifers in another field,
but when Mr. Wood went to
check, the calf
was
nowhere to be seen. If the
animal has fallen victim to
a wolf or bear, he will need
to find the carcass to prove
the loss to the government.
The damage from the
storm could have been
much worse. “The lightning hit the house too,” he
said. “We could smell
smoke in the bathroom.”
Mr. Wood shut the breaker
to that area of the house as
the family checked for
where the smell of smoke
was coming from. The
smell abated, but he will
still have to have the wiring
checked for damage.
“My father always said,
‘if you can keep it down at
the barn and out of the
house, you are doing
alright’,” said Mr. Wood.
The loss of cattle to lightning, particularly in such
numbers, is rare. Mr. Wood
recalled that his father had
once lost five animals to a
similar situation. “But that
was over 40 years ago,” he
said.
Mr. Wood admitted that
he was at first reluctant to
talk to the media about the
loss of his cattle, but he
relented in the interest of
helping to educate those
who know little about the
challenges facing small
family farms.
He has spent much of the
last week chasing blackbirds out of his sweet corn
and a neighbour is walking
his dogs around Mr. Wood’s
grain fields to scare off the
hordes of sandhill cranes
that are ravaging the
plants. “His wife doesn’t
want me to shoot them,” he
said. “So he is chasing the
cranes off.”
For his part, Mr. Wood
recently made a representation to the Ministry of
Natural
Resources
to
encourage the government
to institute a loss program
to compensate grain farmers for losses to flocks of
birds similar to one that is
in place in Alberta. He
found the reception from
the MNR officials to be
encouraging, for a change.
In addition to the normal
challenges of weather and
disease that can afflict living things despite all best
efforts, farmers must constantly deal with government decisions too often
made by those who have little understanding or empathy with realities facing
small family farms.
“There are fewer small
farms every year,” Mr.
Wood said. “Sometimes it
seems like the government
does its best to make it even
harder to make a go of it.”
Mr. Wood closes the gate
and looks back up the hill
at the tight group of pale
and dark brown bodies
lying under the tree on the
hillside before climbing
back in the car for the trip
back to the farm and the
vigil by the telephone, waiting for the insurance company to call.
Today, farming is more
than hard enough.

New Asian carp Great Lakes entry identified by Army Corps
GREAT LAKES—The threat of introduction of the Asian carp in the Great Lakes
has struck fear in the hearts of many and,
according to an article in the latest edition
of Ontario Out of Doors, the United States
Army Corps of Engineers has identified a
previously overlooked possible point of
entry of this most dreaded of invasive
species.
According to the article, a permanent
multi-million dollar project is being proposed to block the entry of the Eagle Marsh
in Indiana, which is located on the continental divide. Waters to the east of the
Eagle Marsh flow east into Lake Erie west
into the Mississippi River basin, where the
Asian carp is already established. While
these two watersheds do not normally
meet, flood conditions could cause them to
intersect.
Asian carp have been discovered in Indiana, through the Wabash River, 100 kilometres below the Little River but not in the
Eagle Marsh, the article continues. From
here the carp would have to find their way
over two dams in the Little River and enter
the Graham McCulloch Ditch to access the
marsh. “From there it’s just one ditch and a
river to access the Maumee River, which
flows directly into Lake Erie,” reporter Jeff
Helsdon writes.
The Army Corps of Engineers is suggesting a $12.6 million solid wall that would
span across the marsh to permanently
block the invasive fish.

...Joe Hare bases campaign on experience
market strategy that will map out a
pathway to bring together skills,
training and labour programs.
Chief Hare cites the recent band
approval for a retail grocery outlet to
be built on the property beside Castle
Building Supply. “The property has
been purchased and design planning
has begun so a grocery store will
finally become a reality,” he said of
the response to the long time wishes
of the community.
Major investments into the Manitoulin Hotel and Conference Centre,
the McLean’s Mountain wind project
and an apartment building in Sudbury are all building blocks toward a
strategy to see $20 million in band
income to be realized by 2020, moves
he said will benefit all of the community.
In the area of social investment,
Chief Hare pointed to the development of the Anishnaabewmowin
Gamig elders building. “The elders
have spear-headed the construction
of this fine facility, scheduled to open
this fall,” he said, adding that “chief
and council have given their full support to this project,” going on to laud
the work of the elders who “have
worked hard to get this project to
where it is now.”
Chief Hare has long cited the
importance of North Channel
lakebed land claims as central to the
band’s future financial well-being as
well as the unfairness of annuity
payments remaining static over the
course of the past century-and-a-half.
“Ever since the Robinson-Huron
treaty was made in 1850, the treaty
payment has not increased,” he said.
“Meanwhile the government and corporations continue to extract
resources from our treaty area.”
Chief Hare noted that the “Robinson-Huron First Nations have now
launched a claim against the govern-
ments of Canada and Ontario for a
court ordered increase in annuity
payments.” He pointed out that the
claim will be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. “The claim will take
years to settle,” he said. “But when
settlement occurs, annuity payments
will increase and payments will be
made to all of the members of
M’Chigeeng, treaty and non-treaty
alike.”
As to the lakebeds (including
rights to water), he noted that they
have never been surrendered, “yet
the governments of Ontario and
Canada somehow have convinced
themselves that they own the water,”
he said. “Like the elders say, show us
the proof of title to the lakebeds, otherwise it is all ours.” This claim, he
notes, also runs into the hundreds of
millions of dollars.
Under his leadership, the future of
M’Chigeeng is looking bright, he
said.
...Martin Debassige promises to listen
do but go back into their
houses every day and look
at the four walls,” he said.
“There needs to be something for them to do, activities and programs that
mean something to them.”
The same situation can
be found with the youth, he
noted, pointing out that the
arena, a central focus of the
community, especially the
adolescents, closes too early. “Once the the games are
done, the place closes
down,” he said. “It should
be staying open with things
for the youth of the community to do.”
When it comes to youth
engagement, Mr. Debassige
noted that he walks the
walk. “I coach Little NHL, I
do things to engage the
youth, but we need to do
more,” he said. “We need to
keep them away from the
drugs and alcohol. I don’t
smoke and I don’t drink,
but I am far from being perfect and I was young once
too. I know it can be hard to
stay away from those
things, there is a lot of pressure. We need to help create
the kind of community
where there are better
things to do with your time
than get into the drugs and
alcohol lifestyle.”
Mr. Debassige noted that
he has a significant amount
of experience on council. “I
served for 14 years on
council,” he said. “I ran for
chief twice, but I am not
giving up. I am going to
keep at it because I believe
in the community and I
believe we can do better
than what has been happening.”
That community, he
said, extends beyond just
those who are resident
today. “There are a lot of
band members that live
outside of the community
who care a lot about what
happens here,” he said.
The candidate said that
he knows the issues and
that he understands that
band members who live
off the reserve are aware
of the issues. “They read
the news online and they
pay attention to the issues
just like I do,” he said.
“When they come home to
the community they know
what the issues are, they
don’t
need
someone
spelling it out for them.”
The importance of experience is something Mr.
Debassige said he understands. “I have sat for 14
years on council,” he said.
...Allan Tustian releases book
training and his time in the navy. As he soon found out,
things were done differently in the navy as compared to
the army, but some things came easy for him due to experiences on Manitoulin. As Mr. Tustian spelled out, the
men were taken out in Toronto Harbour in lifeboats
called whalers. “We had to row, “ Mr. Tustian explained.
“This was fun for me as I had done plenty of rowing on
Lake Mindemoya.”
Mr. Tustian was drafted to Halifax on January 26, 1942
and the tales of his experiences on the HMCS St. Francis, the HMCS Timmins, and the HMCS Waskesiu make
for fascinating reading, not only for wartime exploits,
but also for the other experiences such as seeing the
sights of London, going to dance halls and attending
Easter Sunday mass in New York City. Interspersed with
Mr. Tustian’s accounts are paragraphs of technical
details supplied by Mr. Neal, of the ships sunk and the
lives lost as well as the radar, sonar and anti-aircraft
accessories on board the frigates and corvettes.
“We had some good equipment,” Mr. Tustian
explained, “if we didn’t we wouldn’t be here today.
Wayne did a great job with all the info he got.”
“I read it a few nights ago,” Rochelle Neal added, “and
I laughed because Allan’s personal memories are funny.
And then I really liked it because Wayne put a technical
side to it and put a framework around it.”
Mr. Tustian stayed in touch with a group of about 20
sailors after the war and there are now seven men left
who meet from time to time. He stays active by curling
and golfing and swims every day in Lake Mindemoya.
His engaging book sells for $8 and is available at The
Expositor, The Recorder and Guardian Drugstore in
Mindemoya.
“I have the experience and I
know how to listen to people of the community.”
Now, he said, he is seeking
an opportunity to put his
experience and what he has
learned to work for the people of his community.

I write this letter as a concern in regards to our future here in
MʼChigeeng. As you are all aware, you all know that I work at
Lakeview School and have been there for 25 years. My concern
always has been our childrenʼs (my grandson and future
grandchild) future.
I nominated a lot of young people as I believe that they can bring
many positive benefits to our community. Our community must
move toward the future. We canʼt change the past, but we can
learn from it. Letʼs move forward as the world continues to move
with changes.
I would also like to take this opportunity and ask for your support
in going forward with the plans of a swimming pool facility as it is
in the talking stage, but only there. This venture would benefit all
age groups from babies to elders. It can also be a place where
our young children can go and make better use of their time.
This could be the answer to the drug and alcohol problem that
exists here in our community. Letʼs all get together and see this
opportunity become a reality.
“VOTE for people who will represent all of us and make their
decisions based on information, not personal gain.”
When you mark your box at the advance poll and the day of the
election – PLEASE remember to vote for people who will keep
an open mind and put their personal feelings and beliefs to the
side and treat EVERYONE with respect. As RESPECT is one of
the Seven Grandfather Teachings.

...Family honours Island nurse for donation
Harper’s great grandparents Georgina and Godfrey
Lovelace of Little Current
and Ms. Ferguson.
“What Victor has done
means so much to our family,” Ms. Lovelace told The
Expositor. “Ryan and Karrie are just a young couple
starting out and Harper is
their first child. When they
found out they would have
to travel from their home in
Sault Ste. Marie to Toronto
for Harper’s treatments,
they didn’t know what they
would do. It would have
been so expensive for them
to have to stay in hotels and
Victor generously loaning
his home to them was a
huge help.”
During the party, the
radio was tuned into 100.7
The Island when a surprise
dedication was made to Victor of Terri Clark’s song
‘Unsung Hero’ by Harper’s
family.
“Victor really has been
an unsung hero to our family,” said Ms. Lovelace, as
she, her husband and Ms.
Ferguson presented Mr.
Ching with a Manitoulin
blanket. “He deserved
recognition for what he has
done for us.”
“Thank you so much,”
responded Mr. Ching. “I
was happy I could help.
Harper Graham's great grandfather Godfrey Lovelace, left, and
great grandmother Georgina Lovelace and great aunt and nurse
Judy Ferguson present nurse Victor Ching with a commemorative
Manitoulin blanket following his kind actions in assisting Harper and
her family during their time of need.
Harper is a really cute,
bright baby and I hope she
gets the help she needs.”
Harper was born on January 8. In early June, a
small lump was noticed
forming on her right forearm. Harper was diagnosed
with infantile fibrosarcoma, a cancerous tumor that
originates in the connective
tissue found at the ends of
bones of the arms or legs
and then spreads to other
surrounding tissues.
Since the end of June,
Harper has been undergo-
ing chemotherapy treatment in both Sudbury and
Toronto in the hopes of
shrinking the tumor prior
to surgery to have it
removed this fall.
“Harper has now finished her treatments in
Toronto and has just has
two more in Sudbury,”
explained Mr. Graham during a phone interview on
Monday. “When we met
with Victor at his condo in
June, we assumed we
would have to pay rent, but
he just said ‘no, I’m happy
Weengushk Founder Receives Diamond Jubilee
M’CHIGEENG—Weengushk Film Institute’s
Founding Artistic and
Executive Director, Dr.
Shirley Cheechoo, was
recently
awarded
the
Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal.
Earlier this month at an
intimate gathering at
Weengushk Film Institute,
the Honourable Michael
Mantha, MPP AlgomaManitoulin, presented Dr.
Cheechoo with the award,
recognizing her commitment to education.
The Queen Elizabeth II
Diamond Jubilee Medal,
created to mark the 60th
anniversary of Queen Elizabeth accession to the
throne, is presented to individuals who dedicate themselves to their peers, their
community, and to Canada.
“You need to know how
much you have given to so
many in this area,” said Mr.
Mantha to Dr. Cheechoo.
“Your teaching doesn’t stop
when the classes end. You
will never know how many
lives
you
have
affected…you have touched
many lives. You have
touched mine.”
Dr. Cheechoo founded
Weengushk Film Institute
after shooting her feature
film
‘Bearwalker’ on Mani-
someone is able to use it.’
He was a complete stranger
and for him to do something like that for us, without wanting anything in
return, meant so much to
us. Harper will be having
her surgery in late September or earlier October and
Victor even called the other
day to say that if his condo
is available, we can stay
there again. He has just
been so generous.”
There will be a benefit
for Harper at the Grand
Gardens in Sault Ste. Marie
on Wednesday, September 4
to help raise funds to help
alleviate some of the financial stresses of the Graham
family, such as travel costs.

Turbine parts delivery to start following Labour Day
LITTLE CURRENT—Construction of the
McLean’s Mountain Wind Farm, a joint
project between Mnidoo Mnising Power
General Partnership Inc. and Northland
Power Inc., is moving along on schedule,
with August having been a busy month.
According to a release from project manager Paul Kaminski, 20 of the 24 wind turbine foundations have now been poured
and are being back-filled.
The submarine cable connecting the
wind farm to the transfer station on Goat
Island has been laid along the North Channel.
Ninety-five percent of the transmission
line pole foundation holes have been
drilled and blasted and the turbine access
roads have now been completed. As well, 70
percent of the road improvements along
the Green Bush Road have been completed.
The next phase of project will be the
delivery of the wind turbine components,
which are scheduled to begin on Tuesday,
September 3, following the long weekend.
For Chief of M’Chigeeng
This barge and its crew have been hard at work this
summer installing submarine cables that stretch from the
Goat Island transfer station, beneath the North Channel
to the end of Harbour View Road.

Lightning strike shatters tree at golf tournament
by Michael Erskine
MINDEMOYA—The excitement of golf tournaments
rarely extend beyond the boundaries of the greens, but
participants in the annual Campbell Volunteer Fire Team
fundraising golf tournament got a front row seat to a spectacular performance by Mother Nature this past weekend
when a lightning strike literally blew a large tree into to
pieces.
“It was a little bit of a light show,” admitted Gloria
McCallister, a dispatcher with the fire department who
was at the fundraiser. “I was standing outside under the
canopy and heard it hit,” she said. “Derek Stephens was
inside and came out to tell us lightning had hit the tree.”
Sarah Bowerman of Spring Bay saw the lightning hit the
tree and definitely heard the strike. “It was the loudest
thing I ever heard, there was smoke coming off it,” she
said. “I have never heard a bomb, but it was loud enough
that it’s what I imagine it would sound like. It was really
something.”
Merv Bowerman, Sarah’s husband, also saw the strike.
“It came down and struck the tree and then went off horizontal like,” he said. A number of people said they thought
the lightning had hit a tin shed first, but Mr. Bowermen
said he was fairly certain the strike hit the tree first and
then went toward the shed. “There was chain lightning all
around that day, out on the North Channel and the like.”
Lightning not only destroyed the tree at the golf course,
it knocked a clock off of the wall in one of the cottages and
destroyed a television that one of the staff at the golf
course was watching to check on the weather.”
“I saw the pieces of the tree,” said Jamie Delange, who
said the strike came early in the morning. “It wasn’t just
split, it fractured it good.”
Fran Cox, who also just missed seeing the actual strike,
noted that some of the people in the clubhouse thought
that the strike hit a tin shed before going on to hit the tree.
The tree was about 300 yards away, estimated Mr. Delange.
Mr. Bowerman confirmed the distance. “The tree was
about 300 yards from the clubhouse,” he said. He estimated
that the tree itself was about 14 inches wide at the butt. “It
was a good sized tree.”
The crack of lightning may have been the first indication some of the golfers might have had of the strike, but
Mr. Bowerman heard a precursor to the hit. “There was a
crackling and another crackling and then it just went
bang,” he said.
Golfers were secure during the event, the golf course
having sounded the alarm to call golfers in off the links
well before the storm struck.
“We were lucky,” said Ms. McCallister. “We heard the
rumblings off in the distance and the golf course blew the
horn to let everyone know to take shelter.”
Although the storm was short and intense, as the weather system moved through the region the participants in the
tournament took the matter in stride. Most simply moved
on to the ‘19th hole’ a bit early. “It was the ninth hole for
some who didn’t finish the first round,” admitted Ms.
McCallister, “but everyone still had a good time.”
Funds from the golf tournament, which is sponsored by
the Central Manitoulin Fire Fighters on behalf of the
Campbell Fire Team, go toward purchasing equipment
that does not fit into the Central Manitoulin municipal
budget.
The storm system resulted in a number of small outages
on Sunday and continued lightning and thunder storm
events led to a number of outages on Monday, including
two that impacted Sheshegwaning, Burpee and Mills,
Allan West, Billings, Gordon, Cockburn Island, Allan East,
Robinson, Barrie Island, Central Manitoulin, Gore Bay,
Dawson and Cockburn Island.

MNR and DFO confirm detection of grass carp in the Grand River
LAKE ERIE—The Ontario
Ministry
of
Natural
Resources and Fisheries
and Oceans Canada confirmed a single live grass
carp was caught near Dunnville, Ontario in the Grand
River, near Lake Erie on
August 16. This specimen
follows an earlier catch of a
grass carp on April 27 in the
same area. Testing has confirmed that this specimen
was sterile and therefore
not able to reproduce.
The grass carp specimen
captured in April 2013 was
also sterile and not able to
reproduce. Extensive monitoring activities undertaken by Fisheries and Oceans
Canada and the Ontario
Ministry
of
Natural
Resources
immediately
after the April capture did
not discover any additional
grass carp at that time.
“Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Fisheries and Oceans Canada
work closely together to
respond quickly to all
threats to our ecosystem
from invasive species,” said
the Honourable David Orazietti, Ontario Minister of
Natural
Resources.
“Ontario has prohibited the
possession of live Asian
carp, including grass carp,
since 2005 and has vigorously enforced these regulations. We continue to
work with our colleagues
to coordinate prevention
efforts and ensure that all
pathways for possible
Asian carp introduction
are addressed.”
Biologists from Fisheries and Oceans Canada
found the grass carp while
conducting monitoring for
Asian carps in the Grand
River. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
performed biological sampling on the specimen and
samples were sent for testing. The Whitney Genetics
Laboratory at the US Fish
and Wildlife Service in La
Crosse, Wisconsin has
confirmed the fish is sterile.
“Our continued vigilance against all species of
Asian carp is critical to
ensure that our Great
Lakes stay protected,”
said the Honourable Gail
Shea, Minister of Fish-

This grass carp was pulled from the Grand River earlier this month,
one of the species of the invasive Asian carp.
eries and Oceans. “Due to
our Asian Carp Sampling
and Monitoring Program,
we were able to target this
area for a follow-up assessment, and our rapid
response program was initiated immediately upon
finding this latest grass
carp. Our partnership with
the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources, and our
US counterparts, continues
to demonstrate the high value of sharing expertise and
activities in our continuing
efforts to prevent Asian
carp from getting any
foothold in our waters.”
The grass carp caught on
August 16 was 104 cm long
(41 inches) and weighs 14 kg
(31 pounds). Grass carp is
one of four species of Asian
carp, which are highly
invasive and a significant
threat to the Great Lakes
ecosystem. The others
include bighead, silver and
black carps. All live Asian
carp are banned in
Ontario. Sterilized grass
carp are stocked in some
places in North America to
control aquatic plants. In
the Lake Erie basin, several US states allow stocking
of grass carp if they are
sterilized, making them
unable to reproduce. All
fishermen in the Great
Lakes, particularly Lake
Erie, are encouraged to
become familiar with this
species, and to report any
new findings to Ontario’s
Invading Species Hotline
at 1-800-563-7711.

“We had a very good visit,” said Chief Duke Peltier. “We took him around

said Chief Madahbee, who
noted that he and his
deputy chief were on hand
to lend moral support to
the Wikwemikong band.
“There was an open
exchange of ideas with the

Assiginack PS welcomes new
principal Margaret Stringer
by Michael Erskine
ASSIGINACK—The new
principal of Assiginack
Public School, Margaret
Stringer, is a familiar face
in Island schools and happy
to be back on Manitoulin.
“I always saw myself finishing my career in the
classroom,”
said
Ms.
Stringer, taking a break
from the numerous details
of getting her school ready
for the start of classes. Ms.
Stringer has spent the past
several years as the Rainbow
District
School
Board’s principal of special education, a role she
admits she loved and she
will still be teaching at a
staff development level in
the special education field,
but she is relishing the
chance to be back n the
classroom, albeit only part
of the time. “I loved it, it
was a great job,” she said.
But she admits the distance
between her Sudbury office
and her home on Bidwell
Road did take a toll. “I like
to sleep in my own bed,”
she laughed. “I stayed over
most of last winter, which
was a good thing because
last winter had terrible
weather for travelling.”
Assiginack
Public
School enjoys a reputation
as being one of the most
beautiful locations within
the board to work. “You
look out the window over
the water, the view is gorgeous,” she said. The location also means a lot less
time travelling back and
forth.
When she learned that
former Assiginack principal Wayne Murdock had
decided to retire, Ms.
Stringer made her interest
in the position known.
“The superintendent likes
to keep abreast of the interests of the staff,” she said,
and it just so happened that
her stepping into the position fit well with the
staffing needs of the board,

providing the ideal winwin situation for both Ms.
Stringer and the board.
“I am thrilled,” said Ms.
Stringer. “I am looking forward to being back on the
Island.”
Ms. Stringer has a strong
background as both a
teacher and as a principal,
having taught for several
years in Island schools
before taking on the viceprincipal role at Central
Manitoulin Public School
and then principal of Little
Current Public School
before accepting the position of principal of special
education with the Rainbow District School Board.
Although Ms. Stringer is
at the point in her career
where she could retire, she
said that she was not yet
ready to consider that
option. “I love teaching and
working with young people,” she said. Having a
career where you look forward to going into work
each day is a precious
thing, but she said there
was one thing she was not
going to miss with her previous posting, the two hour
commute.

Meet this year’s Kids in the Hall MSS columnists
Expositor seeks writer(s) for Wikwemikong High School’s Writings on the Wall
by Robin Burridge
M’CHIGEENG—Since the
mid ‘90s, The Expositor has
published a weekly column
named after the popular
CBC show ‘Kids in the
Hall,’ written by one, or in
the past few years, two,
Manitoulin
Secondary
School (MSS) students on
the clubs, sports teams and
events at the school.
Past columnists have
even gone on to pursue a
career in journalism such
as Stephanie Burt Hillyard
who not only wrote for the
‘Kids in the Hall’ during
her time at MSS, but went
on to take the journalism
coarse at Canadore College
and interned with The
Expositor earlier this year.
This year’s columnists
are Grade 12 students Abigail Taibossigai of Little
Current and Kayla McFarlane of Providence Bay.
The Expositor caught up
with both ladies last week
to get to know more about
them and their plans for
this year’s column.
Sixteen-year-old Abigail
is a Haweater born in Little
Current. She lives in the
gateway town with her
twin 14-year-old brothers
Ethan and Hunter and her
mom and stepdad, Tammy
Bryan-Walsh and Luc
Walsh.
In her spare time, Abi
like to hang out with
friends, sing, draw, paint,
do gymnastics and try new
things.
“I like adventures—trying anything new,” Abi
explained. “That’s why
when Kayla asked me if I
was interested in writing
‘Kids in the Hall’ with her I
said ‘yes.’ I wanted to get
involved and push my limits trying something new. I
like writing and I thought
it would be a good opportunity to explore that
more.”
Kayla
is
also
a
Haweater, born in Little
Current
and
raised
between Simcoe and Manitoulin, with Providence
Bay now her home.
Kayla comes from a
blended family of four
siblings, including 12year old brother Hunter,
2-year-old brother Aiden,
7-year-old sister Abby and
three-month-old
baby
brother Jaxson.
will be attending a Best
Buddy’s leadership workshop on Saturday, September 14, hopefully sharing
the experience through
their column.
The girls say that as this
year’s ‘Kids in the Hall’
columnists they will be
covering all topics from
adjusting to life back at
school, sports try outs,
clubs to special events.
Look for their first column in the Wednesday,
September 11 edition of
The Expositor.
The Expositor is also
seeking a writer or a writing team for the Wikwemikong High School
column ‘Writings on The
Wall.’ If you are an interested Wikwemikong High
Abigail Taibossigai
Her hobbies include four
wheeling, hanging out with
friends, reading and writing short stories. Kayla
was also a contestant in
this year’s
Providence
Bay
Fair
Ambassador
pageant.
Not only
are the two
columnists
Haweaters,
they are also
cousins and
co-presidents of the MSS Best Buddies club, which pairs intellectual or developmental
disabled students with
their peers to create friendships and promote inclusion.
“Abi worked with a special needs class during her
peer teaching placement
and really enjoyed the connections
she
made,”
explained Kayla. “My
grandmother works with
special needs individuals
and I grew up getting to
know the individuals she
Kayla McFarlane
worked with and really
enjoyed the experience
also. We both wanted to
get involved this year and
are very excited. Our goal
is to get enough members
so that everyone in the
special needs class has a
buddy.”

Heart and Stroke Foundation wants to help Canadian
parents get an A+ for healthy snacks and lunches
ONTARIO—A recent poll
from the Heart and Stroke
Foundation found that the
majority of Canadian parents (81 percent) provide
their children with lunches
and snacks at school that
are packed for them at
home. However, with 22 percent of parents saying their
children are picky eaters,
the challenge is ensuring
they eat what is packed for
them. The Heart and Stroke
Foundation’s Time to Start
campaign, running until
September 8, is arming parents with the tips and tricks
they need to pack healthier
options that their kids will
love.
“Picky eaters can be a
challenge,” says Carol
Dombrow, Heart and Stroke
Foundation registered dietitian. “Try engaging your
kids by getting them more
involved in snack and
lunch preparation. Kids
that are included and have
a say in the process are
more likely to want to eat
what you’ve prepared.”
As part of the Time to
Start campaign, the foundation is offering weekly
meal plans developed by
its registered dietitians on
healthcheck.org.
The
plans come complete with
shopping tips and helpful
hints for parents to get
their kids on the right
track this September.
“Our free downloadable
meal plans offer parents
three weeks worth of
healthy snack and meal
ideas,” continues Ms.
Dombrow. “Healthy eating
options have never been so
easy to find.”
Visitors
to
healthcheck.org and the
Heart and Stroke Founda-
snacks for their children to
take to school.
• Ten percent of parents
said that a school cafeteria
or lunch program is the
main source of lunches
and snacks for their child
at school.
To learn more about the
Time to Start campaign
and the Foundation’s commitment to heart healthy
children and youth visit:

healthykids.
Please visit the Heart
and Stroke Health Check
website (healthcheck.org)
for more information on
how to make informed and
balanced food choices. The
site contains ideas, tips and
recipes to help give your
kids a healthy school year.
tion’s Facebook page (facebook.com/heartandstroke)

enter the Time to Start contest for the opportunity to
win daily prizes or one of
10 $1,000 grocery gift cards.
Visitors can also sign-up for
the Heart Smart Families
newsletter for parents, and
learn more about the
Health Check program.
Other key findings from
the poll:
• The majority of Canadian parents (83 percent) feel
it’s very important that
their children eat healthy
snacks and lunches every
day at school.
• Fourteen percent of
parents cited lack of time
as the biggest challenge
they face in trying to make
healthy packed lunches and

Drivers be prepared to stop as back-to-school season is here
MANITOULIN—The Canada Safety Council would
like to remind motorists
that yellow school buses are
back on the roads this fall.
Remain vigilant, patient
and responsible so that
everyone gets where they
are going safely.
The Highway Traffic Act
in each province and territory states that every driver,
approaching from both
directions toward a school
bus with overhead red signal-lights flashing, must
stop and shall not proceed
until the bus moves or the
overhead red signal-lights
have
stopped
flashing
(except on highways separated by a median strip,
whereby oncoming traffic is
not required to stop). Also,
school buses are required
by law to stop at all railway
crossings; motorists should
likewise be prepared to stop
behind school buses.
Breaking the law is costly.
Fines are as high as $2,000
and motorists can expect up
to six demerit points for the
first offense.
Travel by school bus is 16
times safer than travelling
in a family car per passenger per kilometre of travel,
according to a study by
Transport Canada. In addition, each school bus made
and imported into Canada
has approximately 40 standard safety features built
into the design and construction. These include
specialized brake systems,
lighting, emergency exits,
escape hatches in the roof,
and high padded seatbacks
that cushion the impact of a
crash.
It is most common for
injuries to be sustained
once children are outside
the bus. Children may be hit
by their own school bus or
other vehicles, underlining
the need for all motorists to
abide by the laws and be vigilant with student pedestrians and bicyclists.
Here are a few tips to help
ensure that children reach
their destinations safely:
• Abide by the school bus
traffic laws.
• Watch for children running to catch their bus.
They have been known to
pay little regard for their
own safety and may dart out
in traffic.
• Respect the crossing
guards and slow down in
school zones.
• During the school year,
be especially cautious dur-
ing periods of the day when
students are travelling to
and from home.
• Watch for cyclists and
pedestrians on roadways.
• When turning at intersections, watch out for students using the crosswalks.
• Teach your own children about safe conduct in
roadways and on school
buses.
Prevention is the key to
safety. With education and
awareness, all children
should be able to get safely
to school and home again.
Take the time to review,
remember, follow and share
these valuable rules and
tips with other drivers and
your children.

NOTICE
Smoke Testing of
Sanitary Sewage Systems
September 2013
As part of the ongoing maintenance of the Town’s sanitary sewer
system the Public Works Department has contracted the services of
the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) to conduct smoke testing of
the sanitary sewage systems in the Town of Little Current (Ward 2).
It is anticipated that this smoke testing will be conducted during the
week of September 9, 2013. A non-toxic smoke will be blown into
the sanitary sewer system via the manholes to reveal leaks that
possibly allow storm water and other surface water to enter the
sanitary sewers. Large quantities of storm water in the sewers use
up part of the pipe capacity needed to carry wastewater. This system
overloading can cause sewage backups and increases the cost of
wastewater treatment that affects each homeowner through
increased sewer charges.
Hand delivered notices will be provided several days prior to the
smoke testing to residents within the smoke testing area. On the day
of smoke testing in your area a representative will knock on your door
and provide a reminder by means of a door hanger. These notices will
provide detailed instructions related to this process.
If you require further information, please contact the Manger of Public
Works, Glen Case at 705-368-2093

Fallen Manitoulin OPP Constable Lloyd
Lackey honoured with bridge dedication
by Robin Burridge
LITTLE CURRENT—Last Friday, friends,
family, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)
officers past and present and government
officials gathered for a special ceremony
for fallen officer Constable Clare Lloyd
Lackey and honoured him by dedicating
the Graham Creek Bridge in his memory.
Constable Lackey was killed while on
duty with the Little Current detachment of
Manitoulin OPP on July 16, 1972 in a headon collision with an impaired driver while
returning from a call in M’Chigeeng.
Constable Lackey was 41-years-old and is
survived by his wife Jean and four children.
“Today is a day filled with mixed emotions,” began Superintendent Fern
Labelle, director of operations for the OPP
North East Region who was the master of
ceremonies for the dedication held at the
Manitoulin Hotel and Conference Centre.
“Constable Lackey unselfishly dedicated
his life in the care of others and paid the
ultimate price, laying down his life for others.”
The ceremony began with the piping in
of the colours and dignitaries by Sergeant
Geoffrey Johnson.
The blessing was given by Auxiliary
Inspector Gerald McMillan, Ontario
Provincial Police Chaplain, followed by an
opening prayer and drumming from
Whitefish River First Nation Elder Leona
Nahwegahbow and the Mnidoo Mnising
Kwewag Drum Group.
Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Michael Mantha and Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
MP Carol Hughes were also on hand for the
ceremony.
“Today’s tribute to Provincial Constable
C. Lloyd Lackey in the dedication of the
Graham Creek Bridge in Honora is a testament to our society’s continued efforts to
raise awareness about the impacts of
impaired driving,” said Ms. Hughes, noting that her parents were also hit by an
impaired driver, surviving, but greatly
effecting her family. “This gesture posthumously recognizes Constable Lackey for
courageously and selflessly giving his life
in the line of duty to preserve a safe society. Although the loss of Constable Lackey
is still being felt by his family, colleagues,
friends and community, this bridge will be
a constant reminder of those who have given their lives in the line of duty. Equally as
important, it will serve to remind every
driver about their responsibility to make
the right choice.”
Mr. Mantha revealed the history behind
the bridge’s dedication, noting the tireless
work of Retired Ontario Provincial Police
Officer Robert South and retired Manitoulin Staff Sergeant Ron Roy who first
brought the idea of the bridge dedication
to Mr. Mantha’s office.
Northeast Town Mayor Al MacNevin
was also present to speak at the reception.
“A very special thanks to the Lackey family for being with us here today,” said Mayor MacNevin, “and the efforts that were
put into this well deserving dedication.”
“It is very humbling to be a part of this
event,” said Deputy Commissioner Scott
Tod, Provincial Commander, Investigation
and Organized Crime, who was there on
behalf of Commissioner Chris Lewis.
“One hundred and five officers have been
killed in the line of duty or on duty and
over half of these instances have been in
motor vehicle collisions,” said Deputy
Commissioner Tod.
“This bridge dedication serves as a
memorial to the sacrifice that this OPP
officer made and also serves as a reminder
of the risks that all police officers face on a
daily basis as they serve communities
across the province,” said Commissioner
Lewis in a press release.
The Lackey family, including Constable
Lackey’s wife Jean Mulville and daughters
Robin Gillespie, Mary-Jayne Kerfoot, Kim
Gauthier and Cathy Rivoire, spoke as well,
noting what the bridge dedication meant to
them, followed by the presentation of a
commemorative plaque to the family and
the unveiling of the commemorative
bridge replica sign.
“Forty-one years ago seems like a really
long time ago,” said Ms. Rivoire on behalf
of her family. “Today I am taken back to
the morning that changed our life. My dad

was only 41-years-old and it seems fitting
that he is honoured exactly 41 years later.”
“Because of what happened we don’t
take anything for granted,” added Ms.
Rivoire, noting that her mother is “the
strongest, most courageous woman I
know.”
Ms. Mulville spoke next, supported by
not only her daughters, but also her brother Brent Saunders.
She thanked everyone for attending and
for the individuals behind the dedication
and ceremony.
“It is wonderful for us to know that his
memory will live on here with this bridge
dedication,” concluded Ms. Mulville.
After lunch, The Expositor spoke further
with Ms. Mulville and some of her daughters about her late husband’s life and what
the bridge dedication meant to them.
“Lloyd wanted to be an OPP officer,” Ms.
Mulville told The Expositor, adding that he
didn’t become an officer until later in life,
in 1966, having been a sales clerk at
Sankey’s Office Furniture in Smiths Falls.
“I think he wanted to follow in his brother’s footsteps, who was also a police officer.
At first we thought he was too old (he was
36-years-old at the time), but he just made
the cut off. He was a great person and loved
being a police officer. Many times he would
pick up kids that needed a ride to one of
the First Nations and he would stop by the
house and get them dinner or call me to
bring dinner down to someone at the station.”
“He was very proud of his job and loved
his work,” continued Ms. Mulville. “He
was very dedicated.”
Mr. Mulville explained that Constable
Lackey grew up in Smiths Falls, where he
played softball, golf and played in a band.
“He was very musical,” she said. “A gift
that he has passed on to his children and
grandchildren.”
Despite his busy professional duties and
family life, Constable Lackey was also
involved in baseball and curling on Manitouiln and was a member of the Manitoulin Light Horse Club.
The wife of the late Constable Lackey, Jean Mulville, thanks the friends, family, and OPP officers who
were in attendance at the bridge dedication ceremony.
OPP Chaplain Gerald McMillan says a prayer at the crash site along Highway 540 where Constable
Lackey lost his life 41 years ago prior to the Lackey family laying flowers.
INSET: Flowers lean against a tree in the ditch where Constable Lackey's life ended 41 years ago.
“We have attended many memorials for today meant to me. I never really knew
him over the years, but this one is the most him, only through the memories of my
meaningful to us because this is where we mom and sisters. I didn’t expect today to
lived and he will always be remembered effect me the way it has. It is such an honthanks to this dedication,” added Ms. Mul- our.”
Following lunch, the family was led in a

Wikwemikong youth conference focusses on the future
by Michael Erskine
WIKWEMIKONG—A twoday Nongo Eshiwaabmdamang Miiwafezhiwebak
(today’s vision, tomorrow’s reality) 2013 Youth
Conference and Trade
Show in Wikwemikong
sought to engage youths
between the ages of eight
and 18 to seize control of
their destinies.
“By the end of the conference, we hope that you
come away with valuable
information to help you
plan your career aspirations,”
said
Patricia
Trudeau, youth conference
coordinator with Enaadmaagehjik (Wikwemikong
Development Commission)
in her welcoming address
to the youth participants.
“This conference was
designed entirely with you
in mind. The intention of
the youth conference and
tradeshow is to encourage
and inspire you, as the
youth of the community, to
reach your business and
economic goals.”
Although the trade show
is an annual event, the
youth conference is a new
endeavour instituted by
the Wikwemikong Development
Commission
(WDC) aimed specifically
at engaging youth. “WDC
wanted to get input from
youth about what they are
looking for in jobs and
careers,”
said
Ms.
Trudeau. The concept is to
encourage youth to look at
a wide range of career
options, particularly in the
area of skilled trades.
Paticia Trudeau, youth conference coordinator, joins her team of
Eleanor Ominika, Christine Trudeau, Brett Pangowish and Rodney
Fox for a group photo, missing from the photo is Abbie Peltier.
“There is a huge gap in the
skilled trades and the proportion of the aboriginal
population of working age
is the largest in Canada,”
she said.
Ms. Trudeau herself is
currently studying sociology at the University of
Guelph and is in the third
year of her degree program. Although this is the
first time she has coordinated a conference of this
length and size, Ms.
Trudeau exudes a solid
calm demeanor. She attributes her confidence to the
experience she gained on
the Wasse Abin student
council and the support of
her team of volunteers.
“I had five assistants
that worked very hard on
this project,” she said.
“Eleanor Ominika in
designing the posters and
pamphlet,
Christine
Trudeau helping with correspondance with the
speakers and presentors,
Abbie Peltier who helped
with the students, along
with Brett Panamick and
Rodney Fox. Everyone
worked very hard to make
this youth conference happen.”
Ms. Trudeau noted that
in keeping with the WDC
mandate, as much of the
infrastructure and materials for the youth conference were sourced locally
in the community, including the innovative conference bags designed with
backpack-like straps to
hold materials. “The bags
were made locally in Wikwemikong by Fox Quilting,” said Ms. Trudeau.
“The posters and pamphlets were made by Abordigital.
Facilitators and presenters at the conference
brought with them an
impressive roster of credentials.
Rod Jefferies is a member of the Mohawk Nation
who has worked for the last
28 years in the field of substance abuse, healing and
wellness and is a familiar
face internationally whose
services
have
been
engaged in New Zealand,
the US and Europe. Mr. Jefferies
is
particularly
known for his expertise in
lateral violence and is
chair of the International
Indigenous Council for
Healing Our Spirit Worldwide. Recently, his focus
has been on promoting
workplace wellness.
Jeremy Dias is originally from Edmonton but now
hangs his hat in Sault Ste.
Marie where he founded
that region’s first LGBTQ
youth group. At 17, he
began a legal challenge
over discrimination at his
school and school board
and by age 21 had won
Canada’s largest human
rights settlement. Mr. Dias
used that money to build
Jer’s Vision: Canada’s
Youth Diversity Initiative,
the International Day of
Pink and the Jeremy Dias
Scholarship.
Holding
degrees in psychology and
political science from the
University of Ottawa, Mr.
Dias continues to volunteer his efforts with organizations such as Housing
Help and Imperial Court
Shenecce Manitowabi presents the concepts and ideas generated
by her workshop group on the theme ʻDefining Ourselves Today.'

Local entreprenuer Luke
Wassegijig,
owner
of
Giizhik Tours and Accommodations and a central
figure in the promotion of
the tourism industry in
Wikwemikong through his
day job, delivered a
keynote address on entrepreneurism from a practical hands-on perspective.
Gina Simon is an electrical apprentice working
toward her ‘red seal’ certification who first became
interested in her trade
through her work with the
M’Chigeeng Wind and
Solar Project. “We have the
population
and
the
brains,” said Ms. Simon.
“We just need to take
advantage of the opportunities to enter this amazing trade.”
Preparing and planning
for a future in the modern
economy can be enhanced
by the inculcation of traditional values and the opening prayer for the conference was provided by
Frank Odjig and honour
and travelling songs were
provided by the drum
group Sitting Bear.
As part of the conference and trade show an
open mic and fashion show
were held at the Holy Cross
Mission ruins and a giant
mobile screen was set up
for a drive in movie night
at Thunderbird Park.

called the bay Bebekodawangog, which translates as
‘where the beach curves around the water.’ In later years,
after being shipwrecked offshore, survivors of the wreck
reached the beach and called the bay ‘Providence’ in an act
of pious gratitude.
The beach is also the home of the Annie McNichol Community Playground which boasts state-of-the-art playground equipment, and plenty of it.

It’s called turn off the stove. Try some fresh, easy vegetable side dishes that don’t need cooking. The key to
great-tasting no-cook sides is to buy fresh summer vegetables that are as good raw as they are cooked, such as tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, and cabbage. Then, all you have to
do is toss them with a generous amount of fresh herbs and
light olive oil dressing made with citrus juice or vinegar
to bring them alive. It’s that simple.
Marinated Tomatoes with Pickled Red Onions
and Gorgonzola
11/2 cups re-wine vinegar
Sea salt
1 small red onion peeled, halved, and very thinly sliced
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
Ground black pepper
2 lb. ripe tomatoes, preferably heirlooms of various colors
3 oz. Gorgonzola or other blue cheese, crumbled (3/4
cup)
In a medium bowl, stir the red-wine vinegar with 11/2
tsp. salt until it has dissolved. Add the onion. If the vinegar doesn’t cover the onion, add water to cover. Let sit for
15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the chives, olive oil,
and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cut the tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Put the
tomatoes in a wide serving bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over
the tomatoes and marinate them for 15 minutes.
Drain the onions, pressing them lightly to squeeze out
any extra vinegar.
Add the onions to the tomatoes and toss. Season with
salt and pepper, top with the cheese and serve.
Shredded Carrots with Jalapeno, Lime and
Cilantro
The best carrots to use are fresh from the garden since
they are the sweetest.
8 medium carrots (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 medium jalapeno, cored, seeded and minced
Sea salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Peel and then grate the carrots using the large holes on
a box grater or a food processor fitted with a medium grating attachment. Put the grated carrots in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk the oil and lime juice. Add the
jalapeno and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the dressing and chopped cilantro to the carrots
and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Another successful year for the Little Current Fish and Game Club
Blue Jay Creek fish hatchery raised by members of

After 38 days club members began to harvest the
fingerlings, which took a
total of 63 days to complete,
explained LCFGC president
Bill Strain. Each week a few
fish were removed from the
ponds, and as the population is reduced the remaining fish grow longer. “This
is because there is more
feed for the small walleye
due to less competition,”

Tehkummah Talk and Times
“Manitoulin Morning”
When I awake each morning
I cannot wait to see
Just what the world outside
Has in store for me
I hear the sounds of morning
The sandhills and the geese
The hummingbirds wee small chirp
Their wings that never cease
The song of cheer from cardinal
The goldfinch or the wren
The sparrow and the chickadee
The doves soft coo, and then
I hurry to my bench outside
With coffee cup in hand
And gaze at weeds and flowers
As they mingle hand in hand
I wonder at the city folk
In their homes of concrete/steel
And wish I could convey to them
This land to me so real
I guess if you did never see
The elm tree filled with birds
Hear the music of the morning
That early risers heard
You wouldn’t know that you were missing
The peace of morning rising
The serenity we find here
On Manitoulin Island.
-P. Hall, August 22, 2013
Our once a year visit, so it seems, with Rob Harkes. He’s
been painting, fishing, entertaining family, he says he’s
“retarded” from his old job. I love his visits. He’s called me
“Ma” since my restaurant days. One of the kids. One of
those trouble makin’ “kids”. Same age as Kim. He shared
his ice cream bar with me too!
Kathy Hill was in for a visit early, returning a cake plate
I’d forgotten at the museum. Then when I faxed my stuff
out this morning, I had the matching plate returned.
Cal was in on his way from Mindemoya and points west!
Apparently he and his brother Gib went driving Gore Bay
way today (rhymes). I did write a couple of poems earlier
(much).
Got a lovely note from Helen Oswald and some photos of
my “65th” birthday. She must have forgotten her age too!
(Maybe not a bad thing.)
So far a busy day—and it’s only five hours since I faxed
out my news. Margaret brought in the tournament results.
She caught me at Mum’s. I beat her today at cribbage then
left! Margaret says they’ve started payouts. It’s $4 for lone
hands now at tournaments. First, Barry and Bill, 82; second, Betty Jean and Ron, 80; third Brad (Park) and Bill, 77;
fourth, Graham and Sheila, 75; low, Marion S. and Marion
H., 42; most lone hands, Dorothy and Len, 6; 50/50, Charlene.
How do my columns get so long? It seems I talk a lot
about “nuthin”.
Hey Wayne from Brechin! Sorry I missed your name last
week! Hello too Darlene! I’ve met another nice young lady
here. She was a bit lucky at bingo too. Irene is Hart and
Anna’s daughter and has been with her family the last few
weeks at Cedar Park. The always smiling Brenda (Hemming), Mum too, were a bit on the lucky side at bingo!
Shirley Paulin recently spent some time on the Island
visiting friends, also taking in a bingo night.
I expected Mary Yett to be singing “The Hills are Alive
with the Sound of Music” after her recent trip to Austria.
I talk about 1,000 a lot this year. The Jackman Clematis
had at least that many blooms, and the grain fields across
from Gordon’s must have at least that many sandhill
cranes this year, plus wild geese—an amazing sight. Lots of
deer in the fields. I guess Barb hit one on her way to work
on Wednesday.
Amazing sunset, amazing moonrise, and it is still a deep
orange colour at 10:30 pm.
Wednesday—The road was wet up from Michael’s Bay
turnoff to the Mindemoya turnoff. It didn’t rain on my garden yet, and I got home in time to roll up the car windows.
We had a little visit with Gib and Florence. They had been
in Sudbury to see his eye specialist. We visited for a bit
with Eileen who talked to us outside as Sherman was quite
ill with the flu bug. We and Cal’s cousins, Lester and Nelson, wanted to say hello to them. We had gone for supper to
Carol’s and Earl’s and these cousins, dining out after golfing in Mindemoya, and after driving from the Sault today!
Lester had been visiting family there. He is soon to be (we
were rubbing elbows with the rich and famous) a “star” in
the “Newspaper Hall of Fame.” Congratulations in
advance of this event. We even got treated to our supper. I
think I have to buy next time (sounded like a family gathering). Ha! Thanks so much!
“Cribbage” Mum made good banana split cake. I made
blueberry muffins. Pat brought fresh garden veggies. High
hand, Joy, 21; first, Rick and Lori, 945; second, Ruth and
Mervyn, 928; third, Bert and Joy, 916; low, Cal and I, 871;
door, Audrie and Lois.
Joan came in this afternoon with her hair all looking
good. Last weekend they attended Elizabeth’s wedding at
the VanEvery home farm—on the deck and in the lovely
yard. Joan too is driving a nice new Honda vehicle. We had
a nice visit over a cup of tea, watching the skies and the
hundreds of Cedar Waxwings in the elm tree, and cleaning
all the berries from the honey suckle bushes. Beautiful little birds, but I’ve never ever seen such a huge flock—seems
early too!
Thursday evening twenty-eight vehicles came off the
Chi-Cheemaun, and three motorcycles and sixteen vehicles went on. A beautiful full moon left trails of light on
the bay. We, on occasion, say hello to Francis and she
scoops us out an ice cream cone at the Wigwam.
Friday we went to Green Acres for our lunch, the flee
market, after a tour of Little Current. Later Cal came for
supper. I cooked up the lovely little speckled trout my
nephew Peter gave me when he was here! Delicious, of
course! All garden veggies freshly picked as well.
Sympathy to the Manitowaning family who lost their little boy this past weekend.
A lovely early morning call from my son Derek in
Mackenzie, B.C. We must have talked an hour. Lovely to
hear his voice. He tells me Jodi had a couple of weeks off,
so she is in Ottawa visiting Tory, Amelia, Desmond and
Declan. That is a surprise, she’s so close by? He tells me up
on the mountain he saw a black panther last week, unusual, and that on a three mile downhill grade he lost his
brakes and the backup battery wasn’t good either on the
emergency brakes, So, thank God on a wee bit of a level
spot he got it stopped! I think he said 80 tons of logs on
behind. The scenery he says is beautiful in the mountains,
a narrow bush road and a 400-foot drop. (I think that’s what
he said.) An update on all the family out there and doing
well.
As you well know I pack a lot into my days. Cal picked
me up shortly after my phone call. We took in the book
sale, etc. at the library. I didn’t stay to have my fortune told
(I really should have?), then off to the yard sale at Shirley
and Ed Sagle’s. Calvin and Jeanette were set up too. All I
bought was square nails? A cup of tea at Cal’s, and off we
go for a long, long drive, down Bidwell Road and finally out
through Rockville. We stopped at Green Bay Cemetery and
looked at all the names. First names I saw walking in was
McCauley, but the first names not so familiar. I’m sure relatives. It was a beautiful day, a leisurely drive. Back home
here at 2:30 pm so I didn’t miss my nap. Sherry stopped for
about a half an hours visit. I took in the evening music at
the hall of George and Gordy—easy listening. Love the
new tune “Senior Moments Brain Farts”. We of the elder
generation have all been there (I think). I stopped at Susan
and Simon’s later. Their card game over, Mum was bragging about being the champ! They were enjoying coffee
and snacks when I got there.
On Sunday morning Cal and I took in the breakfast buffet at the Garden Shed. Thank you very much! Lois says
she is heading back home to Michigan this week and this
is their last Sunday buffet. Met a lady there named Nancy
who reads my column all the time. People are so nice.
My sympathy to Audrie and her family who lost her
beautiful cat to a road accident last Wednesday. I know
how sad and difficult that can be. We love our pets!
Both Grace Sawyer and Elaine McGauley are looking at
the world differently this week. They both had eye surgeries last week.
I forgot to mention Lloyd and Lois Thomas returned
recently from the states. Sympathy in the loss of their
brother-in-law. They were away a couple of weeks.
Twice this week I’ve met cousin Donna (Phillips) and
her friend Doreen Bailey. Once at the “Flee” and at Carol’s
and Earl’s.
Well it’s not like I talk about food much or eating out
right? We sat with Gib and Florence, Betty Jean and Bill
were at the next table. After supper Florence and I did very
well at our cribbage games, which reminds me, I saw a little skunk (very closely) in Cal’s yard on Saturday! He said
he has never seen one before there.
Martin, Lynda, Anna, Hart, Pauline, Susan, Simon,
Mum and I, after church today we were a singing bunch.
Grace and Bill joined our table. We may have been a mite
noisy but we do have fun.
You’ve said it was time for another poem. Will this do.
I’ve written five this week.
Congratulations Bonie Kogos!
Mary Johnston had her brother and his wife visit (via
motorcycle) from Halifax.
