Fall Fair to celebrate 40th anniversary
A
s the end of M a y i s coming, the fall fair committee is hard at work planning this year's event which is being held October 12th and 13th. This year marks the 40th anniversary and is shaping up to be
the largest ever. This year's theme is “Countries of the World”. With a total of 55 spaces available, 45 of these are already filled. Almost half of the spaces held are from out of town participants. With only ten
spaces remaining, to a v o i d d i s a p p o i n tment, it is imperative that you call Phyllis at 705-864-9017 as soon as possible, if you wish to participate in this years' edition. To mark the 4 0 t h a n n i v e r s a r y,
free ice cream and cake will be given out on Friday October 12th. This will happen shortly after 7:00 p.m. and will last until all supplies are depleted. On Saturday evening, after the fair is over, a dinner and
dance will be held for the artisans and theirs guests to celebrate 40 years of dedicated people who over the years have made the Chapleau Fall Fair what it is today. The fall fair has played a major role in Chapleau's history
and continues to do so. The Fall Fair committee wish everyone a safe and fantastic summer and wish to see all of you at the Chapleau Fall Fair's 40th anniversary on October 12th and 13th, 2012
Labour Minister Lisa Raitt has tabled back-to-work legislation to end a strike by 4,800 Canadian Pacific Railway employees
S
imply put, the strike can't go on," Raitt told the House of Commons on Monday, adding that the government must preserve Canada's reputation as an international business partner.

"The work stoppage is preventing our ability to keep products moving in and out of Canada and that undermines Canada's reputation as a reliable place to do business," she said.
Raitt said she expects the railroad to be back in business by Thursday. Raitt had signalled last week that the government was poised to step in if the union and company
couldn't reach a deal, saying the strike could cost the Canadian economy $540 million per week, as products such as wheat, coal and potash fail to reach their destinations. "Although our
economy is still recovering, it is still fragile and we have to ask whether or not for the nation's good we can allow this work stoppage at CP Rail to continue," Raitt said in Parliament Monday.
She said hundreds of businesses are being negatively affected, many Canadians are being inconvenienced. Ta l k s b r o k e down Sunday afternoon between the Teamsters Cont’d on P.4

State of emergency lifted as rain dampens area
T
he state of emergency was lifted in Timmins as rain helped dampen the fires. H i g h w a y 101W was open on Tuesday, May 29th after having been closed, on and off, for a week.
All local business owners were affected, in one way or a n o t h e r, by the highway closure. From auto parts to groceries, from mail to dew worms. How we take things for granted! The Chapleau
Express was tardy in arriving last weekend due to the highway closure, but thanks to Meredith Bernier of Chapleau, it did get here. Meredith had to drive to Hearst and Hornepayne in order to return home from a trip to Timmins.

Popular Chapleau High School social event was annual wiener roast at Bucciarelli Beach as part of initiation Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris With the 90th anniversary reunion festival now less than a month away, if you attended and/or taught at Chapleau High School, I am sure you are starting to dig into the mothballs of memory recalling those days when you were part of "Chapleau's high school" as George Evans put it so well in his article for the 75th anniversary. George added: " "When Chapleau's high school celebrates, the whole community celebrates. The high school is the place where the community comes together." The school, for 90 years has been an integral part of Chapleau life, and I have discovered that writing about CHS usually means writing about the community too. I decided to share some Chapleau High School Moments with you spanning the history of CHS from 1922 on in no particular chronological order in the next four colu m n s . H o p e f u l l y, some will provide you with talking points at the reunion from June 29 to July 1. Thanks to Ken Schroeder, my friend and classmate at both Chapleau Public
Licenced Motor Vehicle Inspection Station
and Chapleau High schools for giving me the idea from an article he sent about growing up in the 1950s and 60s. If any of you have memorable CHS moments or about life in Chapleau generally that you would like to share, please feel free to email them to me at mj.morris@live.ca. Let's start with the annual wiener roast which was held at Bucciarelli's Beach in my time as student from 1955 to 1959, but according to a talk given by Jack Whitney, it was a highlight of the school year when he was a student in the late 1920s. The "outstanding event" of the evening according to one writer, was the initiation of Grade Nine students in the 1940s, but by the 1950s initiation lasted the better part of a week with the wiener roast as the social event bringing it to a close. See if you remember some of the following from a "Do Yo u R e m e m b e r ? column in the souvenir in the souvenir newspaper marking the school's 60th anniversary in 1982. Here we go with Do you remember when ...

“Fibre to the Home” service launched in Chapleau It may only be a small town of 2,900 people in Northern Ontario, but as of this week, residents of Chapleau, Ontario, are getting some of the f a s t es t f i b r e- o p t i c
telecomm service in Canada. On Tuesday, May 1st, Vianet, a Northern Ontario based telecommunications company, launched their new Fibre to the
Home (FTTH) network in Chapleau, about 190 kilometres northeast of Sault Ste. Marie. This next generation network will give people in Chapleau High Definition TV,
super-fast Internet and reliable, affordable telephone services – better service than many people get in large centres like Toronto and Vancouver.
Labour Minister Lisa Raitt has tabled back-to-work legislation to end a strike by 4,800 Canadian Pacific Railway employees Cont’d from P.1 Canada union representatives and management from CP. Both sides rejected a proposal made by a government-appointed mediator. The 4,800 workers began a legal strike last Wednesday, walking off the job and shutting down CP's freight service across the country. Doug Finnson, vice-president of Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, said Monday after Raitt's announcement that he believes the employer
has been counting on the government to step in. "The talks didn't really go anywhere and I don't believe they were going to go anywhere. I think CP was always going to rely on the government to act," Finnson said. Pensions, health spending accounts and fatigue management are the key issues in negotiations. If the employer would remove its planned changes to the pension plan, Finnson said, a deal would likely be achieved.
CP has said the company needs to make changes in order to remain profitable. But the union accuses management of clawing back a pension program employees have worked for years to build, while managers are scheduled for increases to their own pension program. "The company is hiding behind the usual excuse: i.e. that the company should be more and more profitable. Meanwhile, the workers suffer the consequences," said Te a m s t e r s C a n a d a

President Robert Bouvier in a news release. In its own statement on Sunday, CP said it was "disappointed" that a negotiated settlement couldn't be reached to end the "unnecessary" strike. "While the parties met this weekend, the federal mediator withdrew from the negotiations this afternoon, and the talks between CP and the TCRC ended," said the statement issued Sunday by Ian M a c K a y, v i c e president of customer service. "CP is disappointed that a negotiated settlement was not reached, and will cooperate with any decision by the minister of labour and Parliament." Raitt said CP Rail employees shouldn't be surprised by the government's intervention. In the past 10 labour disputes involving Canada's major railways, the federal government has intervened each and every time to legislate employees back to work, she said last week. Raitt has also intervened in recent labour disputes at Air Canada and Canada Post. In each case, she has said a strike would inconvenience Canadians and harm the economy.
Dan Regaudie, Vianet’s Director of Broadcast Services, says the company is expanding its FTTH services in other larger centres as well. Chapleau was just the first to be completed simply given its smaller community size. “This service will provide the residents of Chapleau some of the overall fastest Internet speeds in Canada today. There are very few communities in Canada that can boast a similar next generation network,” says Regaudie, “Going to an all-Fibre network gives us unlimited capabilities, higher quality and excellent reliability. We’re very proud of this achievement.”

Vianet, meantime, is providing Fibre Optic services to many businesses and some homes in Sudbury and continues to invest in infrastructure to wire the entire city. The feedback from initial customers has been excellent with expansion ongoing. “After 25 years in business, 18 of those as an Internet Service P r o v i d e r , Vi a n e t continues to innovate," adds Regaudie. "For example, we were one of the first Independent Internet Service Providers in Canada to provide Internet through cable modems. Now it's Fibre Optic services to the Home at prices that are lower than most of our competitors providing slower speeds."

Chapleau on the list for the fifth Annual Interprovincial Air Tour May 31 – June 3, 2012
Organizers of the Interprovincial Air Tour (members of Canadian Owners and Pilots Association) are excited to announce the details of the fifth annual Air Tour May 31 – June 3, 2012. T h e p a r t i c ipants fly in small private airplanes for this four day weekend adventure! The tour encompasses six different communities and covers 600 nautical miles of Northern Ontario & Quebec wilderness. This year the Air Tour will visit the following Communities: Muskoka, St. Bruno de Guigues, Kapus-kasing, Chapleau, Sault Ste Marie and Gore Bay. In addition to exploring some unique areas of the two provinces while enjoying their favourite pastime, the pilots present a commemorative plaque to each community visited. The presentation highlights the value of the Airports to their communities and showcases the value of General Aviation to the Canadian economy. 60 airplanes will be flying the tour. Over 80 of the120 participants are pilots, 10% of whom are female pilots. Approximately half of the registered airplanes are Cessnas, and Pipers and the other half is made up a variety of airplanes, including Bonanzas, Mooneys, float planes and homebuilts. On Thursday May 31st, the aircraft will depart from more than 30 airports around Ontario, Quebec, and Michigan, and will converge on Muskoka early afternoon. The Airport is hosting a welcome reception for the delegates. In conjunction with the Air Tour participants being at the Airport, the Royal Norwegian Consulate General and the Norwegian Ambassador are unveiling a plaque at the Little
Norway Display at the Airport. In honour of this occasion, 5 dignitaries are coming from Norway – including 2 Generals who did their flight training in Muskoka during WW 11. Dinner cruise later in the evening on The Lady Muskoka promises to be lots of fun as the shipload of adventurers sail past some Muskoka Lake mansions. On Friday morning, the Tour will fly north east to St. Bruno de Guigues PQ, where they will have lunch and then head back into O ntario where the next stop is Kapuskasing. The Town of Kapuskasing is promising to make our stop there memorable by providing the group with a community tour, showcasing their rich history,

précisant que ce projet est supporté par les 3 premieres Nations et le conseil municipal de Chapleau. Le conseil des services du district de Manitoulin-Sudbury va étudier le contenu du document présenté.

Ontario Power Generation reports 2012 first quarter financial results CNW Ontario Power Generation Inc. ("OPG" or the "Company") today reported its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $154 million compared to $153 million for same quarter in 2011. Tom Mitchell, President and CEO of OPG said, "The Company had a successful first quarter in holding down costs while reliably and safely providing almost 60 per cent of the power produced in the province." "I understand that Ontarians are concerned about their electricity bills. I can assure them that OPG continues to look at internal cost savings in order to continue to moderate its impact on the total bill for consumers." "The average revenue that OPG received for a kilowatt hour of electricity in the first quarter of 2012 was 5.0 cents. This is slightly
below the average revenue that we received in the same period a year earlier of 5.2 cents, and it is well below the prices currently paid by consumers under Ontario's regulated price plan, which range from 6.5 cents to 11.7 cents per kilowatt hour." Mr. Mitchell noted the following regarding the performance recognition for OPG's largest nuclear station, "I am very pleased to share that in March, our Darlington nuclear station received its best ever safety and performance peer review by the World Association of Nuclear Operators ("WANO"). In its review, WANO found twelve different areas of strength, which they noted as worthy of international benchmarking - including our response to the Fukushima nuclear event last year. This achievement demonstrates our strong focus on safety and our commitment to performance excellence and reliability. It was a tremendous opportunity
to receive feedback and continue to further improve our performance to the benefit of the people of Ontario." Highlights Net income for the first quarter of 2012 of $154 million increased by $1 million compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in net income was primarily a result of higher earnings from the Nuclear Fixed Assets Removal and Nuclear Waste Management Funds ("Nuclear Funds") primarily due to a greater increase in the valuation levels of global equity markets, and lower operations, maintenance, and administration ("OM&A") costs primarily due to the impact of deferral and variance accounts established by the Ontario Energy Board. The increase in net income was partially offset by the impact of lower spot market electricity prices for production from unregulated hydroelectric stations, and higher depreciation and

amortization expenses. OPG's income before interest and income taxes from the electricity generation business segments was $157 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $244 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease in income from the electricity generation business segments was primarily due to lower Ontario spot electricity market prices and higher depreciation and amortization expenses, partially offset by lower OM&A costs. The Regulated - Nuclear Wa s t e M a n a g e m e n t business segment recorded income before interest and income taxes of $24 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to a loss before interest and income taxes of $34 million for the same period in 2011. This increase was primarily due to higher earnings from the Nuclear Funds in 2012. Total electricity generated during the first quarter of 2012 of 22.0 TWh was slightly lower than the 22.2 TWh produced in the first quarter of 2011. The slight decrease was primarily due to lower unregulated hydroelectric generation as a result of below normal precipitation and water flows across the northwestern Ontario river systems, largely offset by an increase in regulated hydroelectric generation due to higher water flows on the St. Lawrence River. The capability factor at the Darlington nuclear station was 95.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 97.9 per cent for the same quarter in 2011, and reflected a marginal increase in unplanned outage days. The Pickering stations had a 77.0 per cent capability factor compared to 78.0 per cent in the first quarter of 2011, primarily as a result of higher planned outage days. The availability of OPG's regulated and unregulated hydroelectric generating stations remained at high levels. The Start Guarantee at the thermal generating stations for the first
quarter of 2012 was 94.1 per cent, which was consistent with the result for the same period in 2011. The high Start Guarantee for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 reflects the ability of the thermal generating stations to respond to market requirements when needed. Generation Development OPG is undertaking a number of generation development projects to support Ontario's long-term electricity supply requirements. The status of these capacity expansion or life extension projects is as follows: Nuclear For the refurbishment of the Darlington generating station, OPG awarded the Retube and Feeder Replacement contract on March 1, 2012. The contract is one of several contracts that will be awarded. The next major contract to be awarded is the Tu r b i n e / G e n e r a t o r contract. Construction on the Darlington Energy Complex ("Complex") remains on target for occupancy in the fall of 2013. The Complex will house the full-scale reactor mock-up, a warehouse, and office space to support the Darlington Refurbishment project. In May 2012, the federal government approved the Darlington New Nuclear Project Environmental Assessment ("EA"). The approval of the EA provides independent review and confirmation that the project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts, given mitigation. OPG is continuing to undertake a coordinated set of initiatives to evaluate the opportunity to continue the safe and reliable operation of Units 5 to 8 at the Pickering nuclear generating station for approximately an additional four to six years beyond its nominal end of life. OPG completed the necessary inspection and equipment improvements of the Unit 8 reactor in May
2012 and began planning work for the Unit 7 outage. OPG expects to complete the necessary work by the end of 2012 to demonstrate, with sufficient confidence, that the pressure tubes will achieve the additional life as predicted. Hydroelectric The installation of the permanent concrete liner, as well as other lining and grouting activities continues at the Niagara Tunnel. The tunnel is expected to be completed within the approved budget of $1.6 billion, and by the approved completion date of December 2013. As at March 31, 2012, the life-to-date capital expenditures were $1.2 billion. The Lower Mattagami River project continues to progress. During the first quarter of 2012, concrete work was in progress at the Smoky Falls, Little Long and Harmon sites. Cofferdam installation continued at the Kipling site. The project is expected to be completed within the approved budget of $2.6 billion by the approved completion date of June 2015. As at March 31, 2012, the life-to-date capital expenditures were $897 million. Thermal OPG and the Ontario Power Authority ("OPA") are in the final stages of negotiating the Atikokan Biomass Energy Supply Agreement, and in the early stages of negotiating an Energy Supply Agreement for the Thunder Bay thermal generating station. OPG is continuing to proceed with related detailed engineering work to burn biomass at the Atikokan generating station and natural gas at the Thunder Bay generating station. As outlined in Ontario's Long-Term Energy Plan and Supply Mix Directive to the OPA, OPG continues to explore the possible conversion of some units at the Lambton and Nanticoke generating stations to natural gas, with an option for cofiring with biomass, if required for system reliability.
