JUMP, REACH, REBOUND - KALEV TRUDEAU!
Article by Barb Fisher Photos supplied Kalev Trudeau for most of his 16 years has been shooting for the basket since the young age of three when he couldn't wait to tag along with his dad Matt when he coached highschool basketball teams in Wawa. Kalev honed his skill for the game as his passion grew. His first team tournament experience began in grade 6 at Ecole St. Joseph and as he perfected his game and his height stretched to 6'4" it was evident that this kid was a basketball natural. In January of this year Kalev was asked if he would like to play with
the Steel City Slam Basketball Club of Sault Ste Marie. He is now eagerly putting in his practice hours to complement a winning team. Since March Kalev has been travelling every Thursday afternoon to the Soo to practice with his teammates, and then returning to Wawa for the school week until school breaks for the summer. The Steel City Slam Basketball Club Under 17 (U17) and Under 19 (U19) is currently gearing up to host two major tournaments in the Soo, one this year 2019 and one next year 2020.This year's tournament will be held on the weekend May 31 to June 2. Kalev plays for both the
U17 and U19 teams, filling the positions of power forward or centre wherever the team numbers need augmented. He is pumped for the tournament getting underway this weekend and feels confident that his team has the potential to do very well. As basketball continues to grow throughout the province, the beginning of a new branding initiative will see the overall culminating event referred to as the Ontario Basketball Championships with the Provincial Championships and Ontario Cup contained within the competition structure. Teams earning a spot in Division 1 will compete at the Provincial Championships for that age group, while the remainder of teams will compete in traditional Ontario Cup format. The potential for rising Canadian basketball stars is huge.The Provincial Championships will be played at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in Scarborough June 13 to 16 to determine who will be crowned the Ontario provincial champions. The winning team from each Provincial Championships across Canada will then travel to Orlando Florida to represent Canada against boys' and girls' basketball teams from around the world. This year's Ontario Basketball Championship Tournaments will be exciting events to attend. So if you are in the Soo on the May 31 to June 2 weekend, make sure you check out the tournament venues and join Kalev's family and friends in cheering him and his team on to Ontario Cup victory. Jump, Reach, Rebound!

Public Notice The Planning Act
INVITATION
Take notice that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, under subsection 47(8) of the Planning Act, proposes to revoke the following Zoning Order in the District of Algoma:
Mai 2019
Vous êtes invités à une séance d’information publique – Projet d’expansion du poste de transformation de Wawa Au début de l’année, Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) a émis un avis de modification concernant l’évaluation environnementale de portée générale (EE) pour le projet d’expansion du poste de transformation (PT) de Wawa. L’expansion a pour but de faciliter le raccordement de la nouvelle ligne de transport à 230 kW qui relierait le PT de Lakehead au PT de Wawa, couramment appelée la ligne de raccordement Est-Ouest. La zone couverte par les travaux d’expansion du PT est située au sud-est de la municipalité de Wawa et au nord du lac Anjigami (voir la carte).
Nous souhaitons connaître vos commentaires Le processus d’EE de portée générale prévoit des consultations, et vos commentaires sont très importants pour nous. Nous vous invitons donc à venir à notre prochaine séance d’information publique pour en apprendre davantage sur le projet, les études environnementales et d’autres considérations.
Pour ces nouveaux aménagements, le PT de Wawa devra être agrandi sur une zone d’environ un demi-hectare (0,6 ha) au nord et à l’ouest de la propriété de Hydro One.
Autres renseignements Vous avez des questions? Vous désirez être ajoutés à la liste de contacts pour ce projet? Communiquez SVP avec :
L’EE de portée générale est un processus d’évaluation simplifié qui garantit la mise en place de mesures d’atténuation ou de protection réalisables pour les petits projets de transport d’électricité dont les effets sur l’environnement sont prévisibles et gérables. Sous réserve des résultats de l’EE de portée générale complète, les travaux d’expansion du PT pourraient débuter dès octobre 2019, avec l’entrée en exploitation du nouveau PT prévue pour octobre 2021.

Calling All Companies – Local Talent Is Looking To Join Your Ranks The 1st Annual Provincial Student Committee Career Fair is May 30
On Thursday May 30, over 60 employers from across the region are going to be given access to 8,000 students looking to be inspired, enticed, encouraged and eventually hired in the region. The 1st Annual Provincial Student Committee Career Fair is a joint effort coordinated by local youth and Sault Ste. Marie MPP Ross Romano. The goal is to introduce post-secondary students to the opportunities that exist locally with new and traditional employers who need to hire the next generation of skilled and talented employees in the workplace. “This started off as an idea
I had when I was looking back at how bleak the job market was when I was finishing up high school,” explained Romano. “But times have changed and in the short time a very determined group of local youth and I have been working together on this initiative - we’ve discovered there are some very rewarding and challenging careers that pay some very impressive wages right here in the region.” The goals of this event are to educate the youth of today for the jobs of tomorrow, connect our youth with employers, to create a new generation of highly skilled and specialized
workers, and to display the value of a career in the skilled trades. There are 60+ companies and organizations attending the Career Fair. There are currently only five spots left for any companies or organizations looking to participate and registration is free. “There is so much opportunity right now in Northeastern Ontario,” said NORCAT CEO, Don Duval. “There are so many new and innovative companies that really need smart, motivated and skilled talent that an event like this is coming along at the perfect time. Economies are changing. Companies that
you would typically see rooted down south are now calling our region home. For them to succeed, they need the talent to drive them forward.” The 1st Annual Provincial Student Committee Career Fair Time: 9:30 am to 7:00 pm Place: Machine Shop – 83 Huron St. To register your company or to learn more about the Career Fair – simply visit https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/3R75XQG

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

Chapter 18
In early March, Henry got a call at work that he had dreaded getting, and it immediately made his stomach turn. “Hi Henry, old buddy, how are you doing these days? I haven't talked to you in a while. Can you talk right now? Is the coast clear?” BB, his bookie. “Uh, hi. No, I am not really free at the moment.” But he was not put off that easily. “That's okay. I only need to talk to you for a moment. I have set up an appointment for you to come see me tonight at 8:15 pm at my office at the bar. That is my only opening. I need to review your books. See you then. Don't be late.” He abruptly hung up before Henry had a chance to say anything else. He began to shake as he speculated what he wanted. He expected it had to be with his gambling account. He knew he was in arrears, but then BB had not given him any jobs to do, in order to even up his account. So maybe it was a job that he was calling about. Then he began to wonder what that might entail. But he didn't get much time to think about it, as one of the techs in his department came in to ask him a question. That was about 10:30 in the morning. He went home for lunch to lay the groundwork for an excuse to go out that night. Have to go back to work? Yeah, that sounded reasonable. George wants me to help him work on his skidoo? That sounded good too, Henry thought. He had to substitute for Ralph at the curling rink? No, Alice could call and check that out, if she got suspicious. Working is the best cover, he finally decided. The only thing was his ID card would register when he went in, but also when he left. That could be hard to explain, if it ever came to be checked out. But what are the odds that would happen. He dismissed that thought. During lunch he casually brought up the subject. To his surprise, she readily accepted it. He thought she was too eager almost. But maybe that was just his imagination, as he wanted to get this conversation wrapped up, and to move onto another subject. They moved onto the harmless chatter: What to eat for supper, gossip from work, etc. They were both thankful to quickly finish up lunch, and get going on their separate ways. Henry went back to work, glad that he had gotten Alice to buy
A Short Story Series coming over to her house, but 'feel- them. Nothing odd to alert them,
in to his excuse, but still nervous about tonight's meeting. Alice was also glad that she had been able to get him out of the house. She immediately called up her new 'friend', and invited him over for the evening. Henry left about 7:00 pm and indeed did go back to work. He wanted to have an airtight alibi, if Alice ever checked up on him. He could say it with a clear conscience that he had indeed been at work that night. But he also wanted to get into his personal account on the computer, in order to place a sure bet on one of the upcoming hockey games going on that upcoming weekend. Then he actually did clear up some of the paperwork that he had not gotten completed earlier that day. He left for his meeting about 7:30 pm. Meanwhile, shortly after Henry left the house, Alice's 'friend' knocked on the door. She quickly opened the door, and ushered him in. He took off his coat, and boots before making his way into the kitchen. “Want a coffee first, MR. X?” “Yeah, sure. That would be nice.” So she got the coffee prepared, and sliced up a piece of lemon pie for each of them. “Ymmm – my favourite,” he commented to her. “Yes, I know,” she replied mysteriously. They sat at the kitchen table, playing footsies underneath, while they erotically devoured the pie and coffee. They then moved into the living room. Alice closed the drapes, and turned out the overhead light, and lit a couple of candles, to give the room a romantic feel. While she was bent over the second candle, he slipped across the room, and wrapped his arms around her waist, and began kissing the back of her ears. She immediately responded, and they moved back across the room to the couch. There they picked up the book of Kama Sutra to read – right!! As if – just kidding. They proceeded to have their own kind of intimacy, without the help of any book. Afterwards, they rolled themselves onto the floor, and lay wrapped around each other for a while. Finally, Alice rose up and gathered up her clothes, and put them back on. He did the same. She checked the time, and saw that it was 8:30 p.m. She reluctantly reminded him that it was time to go, as Henry might home any time now. He agreed with a sigh. They both knew they were playing with fire by having him
ings' can overrule common sense, or danger warnings. He knew it too, as leaving his house so often lately at night must make his wife suspicious. After all he had always stayed at home most nights, at least until recently. He gave her one last long passionate kiss, and then got his coat and boots on. Just before he opened the door, he gave her one last quick kiss on the cheek. He asked her when they could meet again. She replied, “Soon, I hope. I don't know how long I can hold out. Hopefully this weekend. Any chance of getting together at your place?” “Yeah, that is a possibility. Maybe I can persuade her to go to the Soo for the weekend, or something. I'll work on it. Hopefully we can see each other by then. I feel the same way too. I don't know how long I can wait, either.” That is how it was left on that evening. She went out to the kitchen and cleaned up the 2 sets of dishes and mugs, before going back to the living room to watch TV and wait for Henry to return. He came in about 8:45 pm. Alice thought, “That was close!” They greeted each other, but did not say much to each other, despite them both sitting in the same room. Each felt a slight tension as they held onto their secrets. They eventually had enough, and both went to bed by 10:30 p.m. ---------------- Henry got to the bar at 7:40, and ordered a stiff drink, to calm his nerves. He went to the opposite side of the bar, where he couldn't see BB. He wanted this time alone to collect his thoughts, before he faced him. There were a few people scattered around the bar, and a couple of tables. He ordered his beer and was just about to take his first swig when who should walk in, but two of his curling buddies. They spotted him right away, and shuffled over to sit down, one on each side of him. Henry felt himself blushing and flustered too, at having them sit down with him. He tried to seem glad to see them, as if nothing was wrong. He wasn't sure if he pulled it off, but they didn't comment, so he assumed he was okay. They began chatting about work, curling, and ice fishing they were planning to do this upcoming weekend. One of them asked Henry if he wanted to come along too. He hesitated, saying he wasn't sure what he had on the go, but would get back to
he figured. Henry started to watch the time. At 8:10 they were still at the bar chatting and sipping their beers. He excused himself by saying he had to go to the washroom, and that he would see them later. He hustled away and he really did have to go desperately. He wiped his hands, and took a deep breath and opened the washroom door. He was relieved to see that his buddies had moved away from the bar and were sitting at a table with another couple. They had their backs to him, and so could not see him heading over to sit with BB. Then at 8:15 sharp, he strolled down to where he knew BB could see him. He waved him over. He quickly sat down, and immediately whispered to BB: “ Listen, there are two of my buddies sitting over at that table. I don't want them to see me with you. Any chance we could move somewhere else, or do this another time?” Henry felt himself wiping his hands on his pants in a nervous gesture. He forced himself to stop. He could feel himself sweating too. BB replied: “Hi, thanks for coming, Henry. You've hurt my feelings. You mean you don't want to be seen with me out in public.? To all intents and purposes, we are just two people socializing. Tcch. No, just kidding. This won't take long. I know you want to get back to Alice. So, I will come right to the point. Your account is in arrears. You have been betting already since our new arrangement in January. I just assumed that you would wait until you had built up a bit of capital before getting behind so soon. I have been meaning to get you a job before now, so this wouldn't be a problem. But I had enough other clients to help me out. But now I have your first job. I need you to run a package to the Soo this weekend. I need it there for Saturday afternoon. You can either leave Friday night if you like, or first thing Saturday morning. I will leave that up to you. With the weather, you never know how long it might take. I recommend that you go Friday night. You can pick it up here any time after 5:00 p.m. I will have the address for you then. The long range forecast is for snow starting Saturday afternoon. Just as long as you get there by 1:00 p.m. at the latest. There will be someone waiting for you. This
person will give you a package in return. Please check and count the contents before you leave. I expect you back here by 6:00 p.m. on Saturday night. Once this transfer is complete, I will put your first $500 into your account. That will clear up some of your shortfall. So that is the deal. I'll see you Friday then. Enjoy the rest of your week. Say hi to Alice for me.” He then dismissed Henry with a wave, as the next customer was waiting for him. Henry didn't have a chance to protest. He left, all flustered and sick to his stomach of what he was getting involved with. He didn't really think through what 'jobs' BB had meant for him to do when he agreed to his arrangement earlier. He just briefly assumed it was doing mechanical work on his car, or something like that. Now what was he going to tell Alice. On the way home, he was thinking hard, and the only thing he could think of was that he had to go to the Soo to help out the C.O.'s on a fish check station. Might work, he hoped. That actually worked out well for both of them, as they each were able to make good on their own plans. Henry got down to the Soo and back, making a successful delivery. Alice and MR X were able to have all day Saturday alone at her place. They didn't have to go out of town. Henry had obliged and been the one to do that. The following weekend went well too. Henry made a successful run to Thunder Bay for both Saturday and Sunday, which left the two of them free to come and go as they wanted, although they didn't get to spend all their time together, as he had to get back home to his own wife off and on, to keep her satisfied, and not be suspicious of his comings and goings. However, he was able to spend most of Saturday with Alice, before reluctantly returning home to spend the night with his wife. Then he was able to stay with Alice most of Sunday. He returned to his own home shortly before supper, as again they wanted to make sure that Henry didn't come home early to find them together. The timing worked out well for both of them. And so it went – until the April Easter weekend, when Henry learned of his latest job, and was terrified. That in turn had an effect on Alice's weekend too.

St. Joseph’s School Happenings
St. Joseph Jumps for Heart!
Après 21 jours d’anticipation et d’hypothèse, les élèves de la classe du Jardin A et de Mme Monique Gendron ont observé l’éclosion de trois petits poussins à l’École Saint-Joseph, Wawa, ce matin 13 mai. Les
enfants sont émerveillés et très excités ! Maintenant, la classe attend l’éclosion des œufs de canard! After 21 days of anticipation and hypothesis, the JR/ SR kindergaten class and Ms.
Monique Gendron observed the hatching of three small chicks at school this morning. The children are amazed and very excited! Now the class is waiting for the hatching of the duck eggs!
Tournoi De Mini-Sticks !
St. Joseph French Immersion’s annual participation in Jump Rope for Heart was a huge success this year. The school fundraising goal was set at $1700. Our amazing St. Joseph French Immersion family was able to pass that goal and raise $2828.55. With a lot of hard work and dedication, the top fundraiser in the school was Cruz Dupuis and he earned the privilege of being Principal for a Day. The top fundraisers from each classroom were able to choose a staff member to spray with Silly String. All students had great fun skipping, playing games and creating caring messages.
Le jeu est la forme la plus élevée de la recherche. – Albert Einstein

Ayant fait 2 catégories, tous ceux désirant participer ont pu jouer 4 joutes. Le défi de
la grandeur ne semblait pas affecter l’humeur des joueurs. Quelques finesses, forces ou tout simplement chanceux, les buts et les arrêts se faisaient encourager par les spectateurs! Félicitations à l’équipe « Les Bros » : Seth Smedts, Cole Smedts, Hunter Chiasson et Matthew Schumacher pour leur première place après avoir eu une supplémentaire! Bravo à la
deuxième catégorie pour leur victoire en finale « L’équipe Bouleau Vert » : IndianaLou Impératori, Mme Lynne Burnham, M. Jarett Asselin et Robert Chalykoff! Tout cela pour débuter la semaine de l’éducation 2019! Un grand merci à l’organisatrice, Mme Valérie Lévesque, enseignante.

Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing Auditor General confirms what Canadians already know about government call centres When the Auditor General files a report, it’s rarely good news for the government. That was the case this week when the watchdog’s office reported about the ongoing problems within government call centres for departments that people rely on - Employment and Social Development; Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship; and Veterans Affairs. While Canadians might reasonably expect their calls would provide them with accessible and timely services, that wasn’t the case for over half the calls these departments received last year. That amounts to over eight million Canadians who were unable to talk to a real person at these call centres. The problem isn’t particularly new either. Last year, the Auditor General called out the Canada Revenue Agency for poor management of its call centres. This new report confirms that the problem is more wide-spread and the CRA is not the only department hanging up on people. Whether Canadians are phoning about their employment insurance, pensions or immigration matters, too many are finding call centres to be a dead end. Couple this with the reduced presence of Service Canada centres across the country (especially in rural and northern locations) and it’s easy to see how Canadians are not receiving the service they need. This also helps explain the sharp
uptick in people seeking help from MP offices. The report found that millions of callers had difficulty getting through to agents and had their calls sent back to the automated system, or were told to call back later, or go to a website for assistance, instead of being given the option of waiting to speak with an agent. This was the case at Employment and Social Development Canada call centres for Employment Insurance and for the Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security, as well as the call centre at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. For those lucky enough to get through to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada the wait time to speak to an agent was 30 minutes or longer. One departmental exception was the call centre at Veterans Affairs Canada which did allow all people to wait for an agent, but the problem then became wait times. Those were so significant that over a million callers who began the process hung up before ever speaking to someone. The Auditor General also found that call centres didn’t focus on the needs of individuals seeking assistance when they determined what their service standards will be. He used Veterans Affairs as an example. That department stopped providing teletypewriter services for the deaf and hard of hearing with no consultation or communication with veterans ahead of time. On top of that no
call centre had standards related to the chance that callers would speak to an agent or receive accurate information. It’s been five years since the government started a process to modernize and improve its call centres. Any problems have only been magnified by Service Canada cuts. Canadians count on these centres to help them in many ways which often have pressing financial implications. The Auditor General’s report may just be the tip of the iceberg since there are 213 call centres that haven’t been audited and only eight that have. In the meantime, Canadians are frustrated and have now received confirmation that their calls, whether it is about their EI, pensions or immigration matters, are reaching a dead end at government call centres. The solution isn’t all that complicated, the government just has to find a way to answer the phone.

70th Annual Provincial Competition marks Ontario Mine Rescue’s 90th Anniversary Eight mine rescue teams from across the province will mark a double anniversary in June – the 70th annual Ontario Mine Rescue Provincial Competition, and the 90th anniversary of Ontario Mine Rescue in Red Lake, June 4 to 7. The teams will test their emergency response knowledge and skills in the competition hosted by Newmont Goldcorp, Red Lake Gold Mines and organized by Ontario Mine Rescue (OMR), a part of Workplace Safety North. OMR was established in 1929, a year after an underground fire at the Hollinger Mine in Timmins claimed the lives of 39 miners. Provincial competitions began in 1950 as a means of evaluating of participating mines, ensuring their decision-making and response to an underground emergency met the standards and best practices of the day Competitions assess the teams’ mining emergency response knowledge, firefighting skills, first aid response, use of emergency equipment and decision-making ability under stress during a simulated emergency The competition will open Tuesday, June 4, with a knowledge evaluation, and continue Wednesday and Thursday, June 5 and 6, with a simulated underground emergency. A Mutual Aid Skills Challenge Friday, June 7 will be followed by an evening awards ceremony. Competing mine rescue teams, each a winner of their respective qualifying district competition in early May, are: Wednesday June 5 • Glencore, Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operations, (Onaping District) • Newmont Goldcorp, Musselwhite Mine (Red Lake District) • Vale Canada, Team Hamilton (Sudbury District) • K+S Windsor Salt, Ojibway Mine (Southern District) Thursday June 6 • North American Palladium, Lac des Iles Mine (Thunder Bay District) • Barrick Gold, Hemlo Operations, Williams Mine (Algoma District) • Newmont Goldcorp, Porcupine Gold Mines (Timmins District) • Kirkland Lake Gold,
Macassa Mine (Kirkland Lake District). Since 1929, OMR has evolved from a fire service to full emergency response service for all underground emergencies including fires, explosions, falls of ground and the entrapment of miners. Competitions are as much intensive learning opportunities as an opportunity to test emergency response capabilities. The competitions ensure that mine rescue volunteers across the province are trained to the same high standards. Mine rescue team members, the backbone of Ontario Mine Rescue, are volunteer mine workers trained by Mine Rescue Officers to respond to all types of mine emergencies. Under the authority of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and headquartered in Sudbury, OMR staffs, equips and maintains a network of mine rescue stations across the province that ensure mines within a specified geographic area have adequate emergency response capability. The 2019 Ontario Mine Rescue Provincial Competition is hosted by Newmont Goldcorp, Red Lake Gold Mines. Major sponsors are Drager Safety and Newmont Goldcorp. Workplace Safety North provides products and services to promote workplace health and safety in the mining, forestry, and paper, printing and converting industries, as well as workplaces across northern Ontario.

In further reports, I will not itemize the mess we pick up, but focus on preventable things. Talking to truckers along Pinewood Drive (and they like to talk when the see our Volunteer sign), Ontario is one of the biggest Provinces with the least rest stops and facilities. Ditches all over are a mess because of it, Saskatchewan has better and more garbage containers. Alberta, even better, have a deposit on plastic water bottles and consequently, people pick up and cash in. According to some “regular” truckers to the USA, nothing beats their plenty rest stops with clean, maintained washrooms. Why are we, who depend on truckers, so far behind the moon? Oh, I forgot, it’s money!! Well, people in charge – get your priorities straight! Getting to personal questions about their trash – some showed me their bag of garbage and swore never to discard anything out of their window. “It’s always the other guys from a foreign country, if you know what I mean?” Really!!?? Boy, I heard it all. Then there is this thing with Tim Horton’s! Yes, they provide a good product, but is nobody making their coffee at home anymore? I seem to have developed an ‘allergy’ to those red cups, having picked up crushed, aged, fresh ones by the thousands every year; even in places so remote, only a bird could access. I wish I had 10 cents for every one. Yes, and how about the plastic shopping bags and water bottles? The government in their ultimate wisdom has admitted they are a problem and ‘outlawed’ them, but when are they going to be taken out of circulation? If I had 10 cents for every bottle or shopping bag, maybe I could

Michael Mantha MPP: News from the Park
It seems to be an unfortunate sign of the times that almost all of the news people are exposed to is, to be quite frank, of an extremely negative nature. Some like to put the blame on media, but in my opinion, that’s simply too broad of a paint brush stroke. Yes, media reports a steady stream of disconcerting news, but maybe that’s because life is just like that now. The world has seen tough times before and, well … we are still here and going strong. Last week I was happy to share with readers that despite the dark days we seem to be going through as a province with Doug Ford at the helm, there are some glimmers of hope in that people are seeing the benefits of coming together to stand up to the Conservatives. The People of Ontario collectively have the answers to what is best for us all; and not just what’s best for the rich and powerful. Lately it seems that the People of Ontario are getting on their feet and finding their voices to make themselves heard. That’s what democracy is about. Recently during an informal discussion with some of my NDP colleagues, we were reviewing the current state of affairs in Ontario and where we seem to be headed as a party. During the debate we were reminded of a statement Andrea Horwath made at our caucus retreat back in early
February. Andrea told us that at this point in time when Ontario is reeling from a seemingly endless list of devastating cuts, the job of the Official Opposition is more important than at any other time. “People are counting on us now, more than ever,” she told us. “In this session, not only are we going to resist when Doug Ford tries to drag us backwards, we are going to keep pushing forward. We’re not going to just oppose, we’re going to propose. We are going to keep sharing our vision of hope and positive change. We’re going to remind folks that they deserve more from the government – not less.” Ontarians are concerned about the care and safety of our senior family members. We have heard of so many stories of crowded senior facilities with outrageous patient/care worker ratios such as 30 residents in a wing with only 2 workers for an entire shift. When residents tell the workers they need assistance to go to the washroom, the workers say it will take over an hour before they can get to them. Fallen residents lay forever waiting in pain for help to get up. Violent incidents in which residents attack one another or attack staff is on the rise. Now as a result of the government’s continuous failure to act, New Democrats have put forward bills that propose responsible legislation that would remediate the situations. MPP Peggy Sattler presented a bill that
would close a loophole in government oversight of home care services delivered by for-profit homes. If passed, Sattler’s bill would better protect the safety of patients. If passed, the bill would make the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care responsible for oversight of home care clinics, including those offering nursing, occupational therapy, social work, speech-language pathology and dietetics. The bill would also mandate local health units to conduct annual inspections of clinics, and require that patients be informed of their right to file complaints with their local health unit. Days ago, NDP Health critic France Gélinas introduced a bill that would protect health care workers who blow the whistle on violence in their workplace. Unfortunately, in many Ontario hospitals and other health care settings, workplace violence is simply and frequently swept under the rug. Nurses and other health care workers are simply told by employers that physical and verbal harassment is just part of the job. Just do the job and keep it to yourself. This is wrong because violence should never be part of the job. In an effort to bring about positive and effective action, New Democrats have proposed amending the Occupational Health and Safety Act to prevent any penalty of any kind from being used against an employee
for speaking out about violence or harassment. The solution to the problem lies in increasing staffing, enhancing security, making personal alarms mandatory, building design changes, instituting zero tolerance policies, simplified reporting, using the criminal justice system, better training, and flagging concerns when they arise. Workers should be encouraged to speak out when violence and harassment happens, instead of staying silent. Silence doesn’t fix the problem, it perpetuates it. Many people are absolutely flabbergasted to learn that not all Ontarians have access to 911 Emergency Service where they live. Many Northerners live in small, unorganized communities that do not have an elected municipal government. Without this, they cannot establish emergency services as there is no tax collection or administration. So, when fire strikes, someone is injured or sick or when police assistance is needed, residents or visitors to an area have to fumble around with phone books or the internet to find the number to call to see how, or even if…, they can get help. France Gélinas tabled the 9-1-1 Everywhere in Ontario Bill to address this need in three ways. The first will do away with 1-800 numbers in case of emergency, and migrate to 911 everywhere in Ontario. Secondly, the bill will implement the Ontario Chief
Coroner's recommendations to improve the 911 emergency system. Lastly, Bill 75 will give the Ombudsman the responsibility to investigate complaints against the 911 system. New Democrats are supporting this bill knowing it will save lives. We firmly believe that no one should die because they don’t have access to 911 service. We have the technology. All we need now is the will to make it available to everyone everywhere in the province that has cell or landline phone service. This province belongs to all of us. Not just the wealthy and not just the people who’ve got an inside track with Doug Ford. The above is just a sampling of what the NDP has been doing to make Ontario a better place for all people. We are committed to working in the best interest for Ontarians, both today and tomorrow. I truly believe that by working together we can not only stop Doug Ford from making things worse for Ontario, but we can bring our province together, and unite where he tries to divide. As always, please feel free to contact my office about these issues, or any other provincial matters. You can reach my constituency office by email at mmantha-co@ndp.on.ca or by phone at 705-461-9710 or Toll free 1-800-831-1899. Michael Mantha MPP/député Algoma-Manitoulin

Tips for Creating a Pet Friendly Family Yard for Summer Fun
People aren’t the only ones who love to spend time in the family yard during the summer months. For the family pet, the outdoor living room serves many purposes – providing a place to relax, burn off some energy, play safely with friends (human and furry), and do their “business.” To help everyone – including your pets – enjoy the family yard this summer, consider these tips from TurfMutt. He’s the spokesdog for the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute’s (OPEI) environmental education program. TurfMutt is a former rescue dog who paws it forward by helping kids and their families learn about the benefits of their family yard for people and pets. As a former street dog himself, TurfMutt also advocates for pet rescue organizations and causes. Skip Fake Grass Artificial turf (a.k.a. fake grass) is never a good idea, especially if you have pets. Plastic grass gets very hot during the summer, is challenging to clean, and is anything but environmentallyfriendly. It cannot be recycled, and it requires water to clean and cool it. Be a backyard superhero and select real turfgrass. Pick the Right Plants & Grasses As for which kind of grass to choose, go for something hardy that will withstand a high volume of traffic. Buffalo and Bermuda grasses can be a good choice, depending on your climate zone. For other plants and shrubs, check the ASPCA’s list of toxic and non-toxic garden plants for advice before buying. You’ll want soft, yet sturdy, foliage near walkways – save the delicate decorative flowers for elevated flowerbeds and patio pots. Choose Natural There are many non-toxic ways to prevent pests in your backyard, which is good news for your people and pets! Wind chimes near flower and garden
beds can help keep pets and pests away. Scented marigolds repel unwanted insects while attracting spider mites and snails. Lavender smells amazing and repels fleas and moths. The oil in basil plants can keep mosquitoes and flies away. Consider Pollinators & Other Wildlife While you want to keep some pests out, remember that nature starts in your backyard! Your family yard provides habitat and food for birds, butterflies, bees and more. Each of these species help pollinate human food crops and flowering plants, so take them into consideration when you’re selecting your living landscapes. Create a Doggy Dream Yard One final tip – there’s no shame in going all out to make your yard a dream for your dog! Remember, your outdoor living room is one of his favorite places to be. Some ideas include adding a splash pool for your pup, creating a sandbox for Fido to unleash his love of digging, or adding a puppy pergola to provide shade for Sadie. Be creative! Your canine will thank you. Lucky encourages pet parents to reevaluate their family yard each season to ensure it’s appropriate for their furry friends. Planted and cared for properly, the family yard can offer an outdoor living room for family, children and pets. It can also support biodiversity, foster health benefits for humans and pets, and benefit the environment. Here are TurfMutt’s top five tips for ensuring the family yard is a place everyone can enjoy year-round. Consider your dog’s needs Each dog – senior, puppy, small, big, active breed or notso-much – has different needs. Is your dog a water hound? Maybe you should include a splash pool or water fountain. Got a digger? A sand pit might work well to keep your dog entertained – and the mess contained. Does your dog love to run the perimeter of your yard? Design your yard with his path in mind. Does she have dog friends next door? Maybe an eye-level hole in the
fence would keep her from barking. Jot down everything your dog needs from your family yard, then you map out your landscaping accordingly. Keep your pet safe & sound One of the most important pet features in your family yard is a secure fence – whether it’s made of wood, metal, vinyl or concrete. Inspect and fix your fence – or install one – so you can rest easy knowing your dog is safely within the boundary of your yard. Include turfgrass Turfgrass is safe – unlike concrete, asphalt or hard ground – and offers your pet a soft, cool spot to lie down, even during the hottest conditions. It also creates a comfortable backyard playground and provides a place to take care of business. There are many types of turfgrass that can handle “ruff-housing” from dogs and kids alike. Check your climate zone to make sure you’re selecting an appropriate grass species for where you live. (Another bonus benefit is grass is very good at capturing and filtering rainwater.) Select the right plants You’ll want to have a balance of grass, flower plants, trees and shrubs in your family yard. Including this mix of species will not only be beautiful, it will also help support biodiversity. Remember, nature starts in your own backyard! Keeping your climate zone in mind, select appropriate landscaping for the areas you’ve identified in your yard. Around walking paths, for instance, you’ll want to include sturdy, yet soft foliage that can stand up to puppy and people traffic without scratching. Use elevated boxes and patio planters for more delicate flowering plants. Avoid toxic plants One last word of important advice – there are some plants and shrubs that are poisonous to dogs. You’ll want to avoid these in your outdoor living room entirely. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has a list of toxic plants that you should refer to when shopping for your family yard.

Musical Afternoon At The Library - By Isabella & Doris Article & photo by Barb Fisher In a rather dreary Saturday afternoon a ray of sunshine; two full hours of music and song at our Library. Isabella Imperatori welcomed a busy crowd to one of Wawa's greatest assets - our public Library and expressed her appreciation in having the opportunity to support such a great hub in our community. Isabella is a vocalist extraordinaire and relies on her own sound system and taped background music to accompany her fantastic vocal repertoir, and what a varied artist she is. Isabella opened with a couple of great numbers to set the musical mood and announced that her third number always
reveals a surprise. And up from the audience jumped Doris Zagar to join Isabella for an afternoon in duet harmony. Who would have guessed? Doris has been taking vocal lessons from Isabella for a few months now, something she has had on her bucket list since childhood, and Doris, I have only five words for you "what took you so long?" You are a natural. And after a couple of numbers, Doris relaxed in full sinc, smiling, gesturing and groovin' with the moves. "I See Fire Inside the Mountain", a favourite with modern music buffs led us gently into my favourite era, pre-kids....the 60's and 70's, and judging by the toe tapping and clapping
going on, I could guess the age range of most of the audience: "Fly Me to the Moon, Love is in the Air, Fernando, Blue Bayou, Isn't She Lovely, I'm Alive" to recap just a few of the oldies but goodies. Isabella rounded off the afternoon showcasing her powerful voice belting out "Hallelujah". Simply spellbounding; brought tears to my eyes. Ok you two, I expect to see you both on the playbill of our annual music festival happening the last weekend in June. Be sure to attend the next musical journey down memory lane. Our Library staff work very diligently to bring a varied program appealing to all ages and interests. The admis-
sion is simply a cash donation to ensure the many programs the library has to offer year round. For a small town library the opening hours are all encompassing: MondayFriday inclusive 11am to 7pm, Saturday 11 am to 4 pm, with the only closed day of the week being Sunday and holidays. There is always something going on: after school programs, colouring contests, numerous clubs and special events, newly released novels by favourite writers, computer, iPad and WiFi access, and friendly and helpful librarians who love to stop and chat.
