"Together we will grow!" campaign well on its way D

onations have already begun pouring into the Chapleau General Hospital Foundation's “Together we will grow!' campaign which has a goal of $263,000 to purchase medical equipment for the Chapleau General Hospital

The campaign began in May, 2009 and to date we have received over $40,000 in donations. We still have a long way to go and donations have been flowing steadily, the largest of which was $10,000 from RBC. The Foundation will continue its

fundraising efforts throughout the 3 year campaign with new initiatives to reach the goal of raising the remaining $223,000.

During October and November, the Foundation will be selling Holiday Cards illustrating the artwork of local artists, our

holiday appeal will be mailed out at the end of October and we will be placing a donor wall at the hospital to recognize donations to date and to honour those that have given over the past 10 years to the Chapleau General Hospital Foundation.

In 2010 we will

be hosting a 1km/5km run/walk and a dinner/auction gala in the Spring. We have provided various methods to support your local healthcare, we urge you to support the Chapleau General Hospital Foundation's 'Together we will grow!' campaign anyway you can.

Your gift, in any amount possible, will ensure that thousands of patients will receive the kind of care they deserve. It's an investment in your own community, a chance to give back, and a chance to make a real difference in the lives of so many.

Saga continues 50 years after disappearance of Merle Newcombe and George Weeden near Amyot

By William McLeod October 23, 2009 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the disappearance of two Chapleau moose hunters at Mile 106 near Amyot, Ontario. Amyot is located about 180 km. west of Chapleau on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Merle Newcombe and George Weeden, both employees of the Canadian Pacific Railway, left Chapleau on October 22, 1959, planning to do some moose hunting in the vicinity of an old tourist camp that had been owned by Newcombe’s family for a number of years. They were last seen near the camp by a passing train crew the following morning - October 23.

After that they simply vanished from the face of the earth. In spite of massive search efforts until the snow came that fall and again the next spring, no trace of the hunters was ever found.

No rifles, no spent shells, no signs of a struggle, no evidence of an animal mauling.

Nothing.

The mystery has intrigued me and many other folks who live or lived in Chapleau at the time. I wrote a whole chapter about it in my book “The Chapleau Game Preserve: History, Murder and Other Tales” which I published in 2004. Since the book came out nobody has come forward with any new information about

the case.

On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the disappearance Canadian Press ran an extensive and well written piece by Pat Hewitt on the disappearance. The syndicated story ran in numerous newspapers and on radio stations across the country.

A number of elements in the CP story broke some new ground and raised new questions about the disappearance. Two aboriginal trappers were in the vicinity of Amyot on the last day Weeden and New-combe were seen.

They told police they spoke to the two moose hunters and then set off up the track to set a beaver trap. When they returned to the spot where they had talked to the hunters, Weeden and Newcombe had simply disappeared. I knew the identities of the trappers when I was writing the story in 2004. But, because their names were expunged from the official Ontario Provincial Police file on the case, I

C

decided that it would be too risky to name them.

But the CP story did indentify them as Clem Nabigon and his son Herb who was seventeen at the time. Clem Nabigon died in 1982 but Herb is very much alive and resides in Sudbury.

H a r r i e t (Newcombe) Bouillon who is Merle Newcombe’s stepdaughter finally agreed to talk about the case.

Like most people who know something about the disappearance, Harriet believes that the men met with foul play.

She made a very interesting comment about her dad’s wallet that surprised me. Some time in 1968 two Chapleau men, Walter Telik and Hamil Robinson were staying at Newcombe’s camp. For whatever reason, one of them looked under the mattress of one of the beds. Hidden there was Merle Newcombe’s wallet containing his identification and two dollars. After looking into this new development, the O.P.P. concluded that the wallet had been placed there by Newcombe shortly before he vanished. The police further concluded, probably correctly, that no one had thought to look under that mattress at any time during the search. However Harriet told Pat Hewitt that she believed the wallet had been “planted” under the mattress.

Planted when, by whom and for what reason she did not say.

And finally, completely unrelated to the anniversary, in late

September of this year, I received a call from a lady named Grace Pettingill who lives in Lapeer, Michigan. She is the daughter of Merle Newcombe by a previous marriage. The disappearance has bothered her for all of these years. In an attempt to get some answers and some closure, she Googled “Merle Newcombe” and my book came up. She had never heard of the book and it did provide her with some information.

Grace and her niece Marshall Bay of Decatur, Michigan have made a pilgrimage to Amyot and, on October 23 they will stand on the site near Mile 106 where their father and uncle were last seen alive.

Hopefully Pat Hewitt’s story will per-

suade some person or persons to come forward with new information about what happened in that October fifty years ago. If this happens, some closure will come to the Newcombe family.

George Weeden was a bachelor and I know of no living relatives that survive him. Regardless, the case continues to mystify many people even today.

Chapleau nicknames from Chicken to Sparrow, Tiny to Gunner, Buddy, Boxcar, Picket, Tar, Pappy and the Chief too

Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris Let's return to more ever popular Chapleau nicknames.

Since the first column on nicknames I have received several email contributions from readers of Chapleau Moments and my blog so thanks to everyone for writing --- especially Frances (Jardine) CorstonLundquist, Bill Wilson, with recognition to Lindsey Wilson (Bill's assistant), Kyle Cachagee and Russell "Rusty" Dunne. The following is another nickname sampler from all the names provided.

Several have wondered how Henry Corston became "Chicken" and Frances clears up the mystery: "Hi Michael, as we always called you, Chicken was originally Chick from Hen(ry), from playing with kids of his age as they used to taunt him with the old nursery rhyme, "Henny Penny the sky is falling down"...Later years he got Chicken.

Frances also shared how Lloyd McDonald, who later worked many years for Canadian Press got his nickname "Sparrow." Apparently he was coming down the lane from Sunday school and tripped and fell. His neighbour Mr. Wilson said, "God

sees the little sparrow fall," and from that day he was known as Sparrow.

Thanks Frances. (Robert Jardine has a video clip of a television interview I did with "Sparrow" at the 60th anniversary of Chapleau High School.)

Now to let you know how Lindsey Wilson, Bill's son, also became his assistant.

Lindsey wrote in an email, "I am sending you this e-mail on behalf of Bill Wilson (my father)." Lindsey advised that at the time Bill was on holidays but wanted to respond to my article in the Express regarding nicknames with ones he remembered.

Bill recalled that Fred Burrows was called "Bunt" while Philip "Tiny" Martin's sister Shirley was "Torchy" and Ed Bignucolo was "Psyche". I would add that his brother Ernest was "Sonny" who along with their other brother Albert "Al" were all outstanding goaltenders with the Chapleau Huskies.

Te d C o l l i n s was nicknamed "Gunner", his sister Marie was called "Flash" while Lorene was "Toots." Douglas Swanson was "Sonny" while Terry Shannon

was "Boots" and Gerard Pilon was "Tonto", Lorne Riley was "Fats" and Raymond Burns went by "Butch."

Wow. As I go through all these names they sure bring back fond memories of life in Chapleau, as I am sure it does for you too.

Bill also reminds us that Keith Swanson is "Buddy", who devoted so many years to hockey in Chapleau and until recently was a member of the Chapleau council. Let me just add here that his brothers Michael and Frederick are "Pat" and "Ted" respectively.

Estelle Morin was "Pootch" and Pat Purich "Pappy" while Henry "Hank" Therriault's younger brother Arthur was always called "Babe."

T h a n k s Lindsey for helping out your Dad and I hope he had a great vacation.

Kyle Cachagee wrote to reveal that his late grandfather Charles William was sometimes called "Boxcar" but the nickname used most of the time was "Tony."

His grandmother Kathleen is "Kitty" or " N a n n y. " t o h e r grandchildren. Kyle also recalled that Jean Longtin was called "Fireman" as he always wore a red plastic fireman's hat around town.

R u s s e l l "Rusty" Dunne moves us to another generation of nicknames but started his message

remembering some members of his family.

Garth "Tee" Chambers who delivered groceries for Dominion and Viet's supermarket as well as Sears and was the Post Office Custodian for many years.

Keith "Sonny" Chambers, Railroad employee war vet.

"Doody" Chambers brother of Tee and Sonny, all my cousins because my grandmother (the late Mrs. Agnes Freeborn) and their mother were sisters.

Other people I grew up with had names like David "Picket" Doig, Robert "Tar" Doyle, Gerry "Beanie" Gionet, Donald "Saints" St.Germain, Richard "Ben" Lacroix, Gerard "Moose" Bernier, Glenn "Esposito" Cappellani, Gary "Hoss" Legros, Angelo "Butch" Bucciarelli , Gary "Hippie" Korpela, Charles "Buddy" Collings, D o n a l d " Wi b b l e " Collings, Robert "Barney" Bromley, to name a few that I can remember off the top of my head , Rusty added "Some I went to school or worked with and others I was related to.

All in all Nicknames are part of our lives. We grew up with them and recognize them easier than proper names."

Most importantly he noted that there was never anything bad or derogatory meant when the nickname was given. It was just something that was said and stuck to you.

"My name is

Russell Dunne and I have been called Rusty Dunne all my life by family and friends and 99% of people who know me remember my name as "Rusty" instead of Russell.

"I also remember my history / economics teacher being referred to as "Chief" at one time, but it does make you think back and wonder "how did I get that name " or where it came from?, Who knows, maybe its would help to talk to old friends and family and find out."

Thanks Rusty and let me wrap this up with an explanation of how I came to be nicknamed "Chief." In 1970, I was "hired" by Jamie Doyle and his buddy Keith McAdam to coach their Chapleau Midgets hockey team. (Yes, I was hired by them but that's another story.)

Shortly after becoming coach, at a practice, one of the players called out, "Heh, MJ..."

and before he got any further, in no uncertain terms, in my best Dr. Karl A. Hackstetter voice, I told him that I was Mr. Morris to him and all the players and not to forget it.

I stormed from the dressing room, slammed the door shut, stood outside and lit a cigarette waiting to learn my fate. There was silence, then the late Lionel Corston spoke up and said, "It doesn't sound right to call him Mr. Morris. He is the Chief and we are the Indians..." The team agreed unanimously on my new name, and out they came headed to the ice in the old Chapleau Memorial Community Arena. As each player passed me, he said with the mischievous smile that can only come from kids when they know they have won a big one: "Hi Chief."

What could I say. The name stuck.
