he Chicks h o c k e y season is well underway and the girls are playing some fast paced exciting hockey. Currently we have 3 teams registered with the Ontario Women Hockey
Association, Peewee/Atom mix, Bantam, and Midget for a total enrollment of 37 girls. The girls have been very busy playing exhibition games against teams from Blind River, Timmins, and
Thessalon. They have also participated in two tournaments one in North Bay and the other in Sault Ste. Marie over the last few months. They have done remarkably well winning a few and losing a few, always learning and improving their skills. Over the next few months they will be attending a tournament in Sudbury on February 17th. They will also be involved with exhibition games here in Chapleau so keep your ear to the ground for upcoming game times and dates. Plans are also in the works to host our first annual Girls Hockey tournament which is tentatively scheduled for March 9th to 11th. For upcoming CGHA news
about games and tournament listen to your local JJAM FM and read your local Chapleau Express. Chapleau Girls Hockey Association would like to
thank the people of Chapleau for the great donation during their last bottle drive. Also a big thank you to our many sponsors, Ron Martel, Collins

T
he upcoming Northern Pike fish derby is a p e r f e c t opportunity for a family outing. The derby is an ideal occasion for parents to introduce fishing to youngsters in a perfectly safe environment that is close to home. Aside from having a chance to win large amounts of money, spending quality time with family and friends is worth its' weight in gold. A p l a c e where beans and wieners reheated on
a coleman stove and hot dogs become gourmet food. The anticipation of catching a fish will keep your youngsters on their toes all day. Plan ahead and make this event one that you and your family will remember forever. Entries are available at Pit's Place Bait & Tackle,
Northern Growth Plan an insult to Northern Ontario say Bisson and Mantha
T
immins James Bay MPP Gilles Bisson and AlgomaManitoulin MPP Michael Mantha say the Northern Growth Plan has failed to address the real needs of northern Ontario. The plan calls for the creation of “hubs” to promote
development, but Sudbury and Thunder Bay are the only cities designated as such. “The fact is that there is no money tied to the Northern Growth Plan. We’re not even sure what these two ‘hubs’ in Sudbury and Thunder Bay are
On 2011 select models
meant to do. What money is being allocated to make these projects work?” said Bisson. “I’m not only concerned for the cities like Timmins and Sault Ste Marie that are left out but I’m also concerned for Sudbury and Thunder Bay
because without a clear vision and funds attached to it these centers are not likely to succeed,” said Bisson. “The Northern Growth Plan is essentially a plan to make a plan that took 7 years to come together and in the end produced noth-
ing,” said AlgomaManitoulin MPP Michael Mantha. “The government is refusing to deal with the real issues, like the infrastructure that is necessary to support the communities both on the physical side and the social infrastructure,” added

This is in answer to Mario Lafreniere's editorial regarding his trip on the Sultan Industrial road. What most northerners do not realize is that any road north of Parry Sound is totally ignored! We are not important to the MP's in Toronto and we are surely not important to “Transfield Services from Australia”. Whoever awarded our road contracts to a company from Australia should be fired! What in “the heck” is wrong with a Canadian company? What does
Australia know about Northern Ontario winters? This is ludicrous! Why are we paying MP's, who are not doing the job they were elected to do, mainly the up grading of all northern roads. The Sultan Industrial road is paid by the taxpayers of Ontario. It costs the taxpayers millions of dollars yearly to maintain this piece of road. It is a dangerous road to be on at any time due to its' isolation. If you have an accident on this road, a person could die from exposure, hypothermia

or any other type of reason as we cannot communicate with anyone. Unless you have a satellite phone, you are at the mercy of the elements. This is especially dangerous in the winter. We have no cell phone service. Because we are northerners, we don't qualify! It seems that all the new services are available only to the larger cities. Small towns in Northern Ontario are exempt from all the new high tech services. In the community that I live in, the 89 residences and cottagers pay 50% of the cost to grade or plow the gravel road leading into our small town. Travelling during the winter is extremely dangerous. We are 150 miles from Sudbury and 100 miles from Chapleau. This must be done knowing that if we have an accident, we have no way of calling for help. Our
roads are too narrow; no sanding is done during the winter months. The same government who spends millions advertising for tourists to come and enjoy our pristine lakes and rivers does nothing to upgrade the roads to allow these tourists to reach their destination. Our snowmobile routes are in better shape than the road into a viable community. This community has four tourist outfitters that put millions into our provincial coffers, but we do not see any return on our dollars. Our service providers are Chapleau, Timmins or Sudbury and it is a danger to drive to any of these larger communities. Even our paved highways are too narrow. It's terrifying to meet a transport truck or logging truck. For anyone travelling

to the larger communities to see a doctor or buy groceries is a trip where we take our lives in our own hands to do what ordinary people can do without fear. As northerners, we must get our MP's to start paying attention to those of us who live north of Parry Sound. Why do we have to travel the Sultan Industrial road at our own risk while we are paying for the upkeep of this road with our taxes? We paid to build it and we
keep on paying and get very little in return. It's time for a change. Our major highways need passing lanes and widening of the shoulders. We need proper sanding and all gravel roads need yearly repairs and upgrading. We need a return of some of our tax dollars and to get rid of the MP's if we are not heard.

1181 Chapleau High School Cadet Corps performance described as "excellent" by Captain R.Q. Sims at annual inspection in 1946 Canada by King George exception. Thirteen Chapleau VI and Queen Elizabeth members of the corps in 1939. The story goes a t t e n d e d c a m p a t that while the Royals Niagara on the Lake, Moments were not scheduled to Ontario, which considby Michael J. Morris
On a beautiful sunny dOn a beautiful sunny day in May 1946, Captain R.Q. Sims, described the performance of 1181 Chapleau High School Cadet Corps as "excellent" during its first inspection following the end of World War II. The inspecting officer delivered his remarks to the corps which the Chapleau Post described as "well earned praise following weeks of training" to company commander Foster Collings, platoon commanders John Thomson, Barbara Muske, Frances Hamlin, bugle band leader Janet Thomson, chief instructor and school principal John McClellan and corps members on the field behind the old high school on Pine Street. The CHS cadet corps was established on November 14, 1924,
just two years after a high school was established in Chapleau and was disbanded on January 1, 1963, and for 39 years was an integral and important part of school life. One year after World War II had ended, thoughts would surely have turned to the more than 300 Chapleau citizens who had served in Canada's armed forces, including 17 CHS students who were killed on active service, and had been members of the cadet corps just a few years earlier. As well as the actual inspection, demonstrations in signals, first aid, knots and lashes, girls PT, pyramids, rifle and precision drills were included in the day's activities. Following the inspection, led by the Girls Bugle Band, the
Chapleau High School Cadets from left Arthur Broomhead, Mike Mione, Arnold Moore and William Ritchie attended cadet camp at Niagara on the Lake in 1946. (Doug Greig Collection) corps would march around the community, before members would head home to prepare for the annual Cadet Dance, always part of the day's activities. For some reason, I had assumed that the cadet corps always had a girls band, but once again I got a lesson in "never assume" as I have been researching the history of 1181 Cadet Corps. For example, I have discovered that in the

1934-35 school year it was called the Boys Bugle Band, and this may have continued until at least 1943 when student Milton O'Brien was the band leader. However, by 1946 it was a Girls Bugle Band led by Janet Thomson. It is also quite likely that it was a boys band prior to 1934, and as Chapleau Moments, as I have written before is really a very rough draft of history, I hope more information will be forthcoming so the complete story of the corps can be told. Also, girls were not officially permitted to be cadets but at CHS they were involved and were part of the inspection. They were later approved. A f t e r Wo r l d War II, King George VI, granted the title "Royal" and they became the Royal Canadian Army Cadets. One of the more famous highlights in the history of the CHS cadet corps was the Royal Visit to
make an appearance in Chapleau as the Royal Train was passing through the community at two a.m. However, Chapleau reeve George Fife, the grandfather of CTV News Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife, sent a message that he wanted to meet the King. So, the King was roused in the middle of the night to meet Mr. Fife, and according to Jim Austin, who was then a member of the CHS cadet corps, got off the train and conducted an inspection. Many CHS cadets over the years attended Cadet camps, and 1946 was no

ering that CHS had about 100 students struck me as amazing. The Chapleau Post reported that those attending were Arthur Broomhead, Desmond Collins, Ross Hamlin, Coulton Henderon, Mike Mione, Arnold Moore, William Pellow, Lorne Riley, Douglas Swanson, Lawrence Tremblay, Bill Ritchie, Pat Serre and Reggie Sonego.

Chapleau Moments Cont’d from P.3 crossed rifles on the wall panels, all "well deserving of praise" according to the Chapleau Post reporter. Lunch was served by a committee of staff members and parents headed by Mrs. McClellan, the wife of the principal. Music was provided by 'The Modernes' in its first and only appearance even though the Chapleau Post reporter was gushing in praise of the orchestra, writing that it was "music played the way you love to hear it played" and predicting a great future for it. It folded as some members left Chapleau. Members were Marion Wedge, piano; George Payette and Jim Hands, trumpet; Greg Lucas, clarinet; Norman Cohrs, trombone; Bill Austin, saxophone; Jack Welch, electric guitar and Yen Hong, drums. For almost 40 years of its history,
Bugle Band played when I was a student at CHS in the 1950s. As the 90th anniversary reunion of CHS draws closer, I am sure there will be many revisions to the rough drafts of the school's history. Thanks to Doug Greig and Louise Cooper. My email is mj.morris @live.ca

SOUPER-BÉNÉFICE POUR LA CONSTRUCTION D’UN PUITS EN INDE
Le mois dernier, les élèves du cours de religion à l’école secondaire catholique Trillium ont invité leurs parents et amis à un souper spaghetti afin de recueillir des fonds qui serviront à venir en aide à la construction d’un puits pour un petit village en Inde. Les élèves de 9e année ont accueilli une foule d’environ 100 personnes par un message touchant et inspirant qui nous aide à penser à la manière de Jésus. Les gens ont reçu une tranche de pain et un verre d’eau en symbole pour sensibiliser les gens envers le fait que dans notre société de 7 milliards d’habitants, il y a un milliard de gens qui se couchent chaque soir sans boire ni manger. L’argent recueilli sera remis à SOPAR (SOciété et PARtage). SOPAR est un organisme à but non lucratif donc tous les fonds iront
directement aux missions. Cet organisme a pour mission le développement des communautés en Inde. SOPAR offre un soutien financier, technique et administratif à ses partenaires en Inde. Après avoir mangé un bon repas préparé par M. Matthew Wiecha et quelques élèves de son cours d’hôtellerie et tourisme, les gens ont réalisé qu’ils étaient parmi les milliards de gens plus chanceux et favorisés de la planète. Il faut suivre les initiatives de cette classe dynamique accompagnée de leur enseignant M. Ronald Brisebois, car ils ont d’autres initiatives pour continuer leur projet humanitaire, entre autres, de fournir des meubles et du matériel scolaire pour équiper une classe de 30 à 50 jeunes.

La directrice ainsi qu’un groupe de travail consistant des élèves des 5e et 6e années ont fait des choix d’achat basés sur leurs intérêts tout en tenant compte que l’objectif est la santé. Les jeux vidéos seront utilisés dans les cours d’éducation physique, pour l’APQ ainsi que dans les activités de motivation et de récompense.
