Chapleau Arts and Crafts Fall Fair breaks attendance records!
By Phyllis McLeod he scarecrows have now returned home and the “scared crow”
T
has left the roost. The largest fair to date has wrapped up for another year. With a total of
fifty one extremely talented artisans providing everyone with a variety of beautifully made
crafts. Twenty one of these gifted people came from as far away as “ Courtice”, Sault Ste. Marie, Wawa, Walford Station , Blind River, Elliot Lake, Sudbury, Thessalon, St Joseph Island, Quebec, Aylmer and Marathon. The winners for the best decorated booth according to the theme were: 1st place: Heather Clement; 2nd place Ethel Orton and 3rd place Melanie Mallek with prizes donated by Doug Collins. All judging was done by a noncommittee member and wishes to remain
anonymous. Many of the artisans either decorated their booths or dressed up and some both. It brings so much more to the fair when everyone does that little bit of extra. We w e r e doubly blessed with the beautiful voice and guitar playing by Daniel Godbout. What a treat. His beautiful voice even seemed to sooth the “screed crow”, as instead of squawking , he had that crow dancing and singing.. Hats off to you Daniel and thank you. In speaking of the “scared crow” Sylvie created this
talented bird with great imagination and creativity. Her talent for dance sure came in handy as well. It takes a hard working group of dedicated individuals to put this event together and take it all down again. Our committee consists of Sylvie Rousseau, Ludie O'Hearn, Sheila H u n t e r, M i r e i l l e Larocque, Jan Ribout, Heather Martin, Melanie Mallek, Katherine Elson, Sarah McLeod-Greig (Jr.Member), Ceilidh O'Hearn (Jr.Member), George McLeod, Chantal Servent and Cont’d on P.5

Letters to the Editor I have recently moved to the town of Chapleau, Ontario on beautiful Borden Lake and with me brought my 2 dogs, Nova and Chilly. Chilly recently became pregnant. As instinct tells them, she decided to make a bed under our cabin right beside the lake. Unfortunately, I was never told that in certain areas of Chapleau there is a Fungus in the soil that is deadly to dogs as well as humans. Blastomycosis is a fatal fungal infection caused by the pathogen Blastomyces dermatitidis. The
fungus grows in moist soil or vegetation. In certain conditions, spores are released into the air that can be inhaled by dogs or people, thereby infecting them. O n c e t h e pathogen enters the lungs, the spores transform into large, thick walled broadbased budding yeast that multiply within the lung and other tissues of the infected animal. The symptoms and illness that evince in a dog can be extremely variable. But the disease primarily affects a dog's skin and lungs, although

eyes, joints and other organs can be affected as well. Ocular Blastomycosis can cause rapid and permanent blindness. If left untreated, the disease will eventually cause death. When the soil or vegetation where the fungus lives is disturbed, the infectious spores are released into t h e a i r. D o g s m a y develop Blasto-mycosis by breathing the pathogen into their lungs or having it enter through an open wound. The soil can be disturbed by an activity such as digging in the dirt or following a scent trail. Conversely, in dry weather the spores may simply spread through dust, such as at a recently excavated area or areas undergoing construction. The Blastomyces fungus thrives in wet environments, such as riverbanks, lakes and swamps, where damp soil lacking direct sunlight fosters growth of fungi. It is also present in areas that are rich in decaying matter,

such as wooded areas, forests, and farms. Studies have concluded that most affected dogs live within at least 400 meters of a body of water. Blastomycosis is a chronic infection, and dogs are usually sick for several weeks before any diagnosis is made. Sometimes it can be mistaken for another illness like pneumonia, because of its impact on the lungs. This is so very important!!!!!!! Symptoms to look for include: Fever; Flu-like symptoms (pneumonia); Loss of appetite; Weight loss; Eye infection, specifically the iris; Sudden blindness; Difficulty breathing (e.g., coughing, wheezing and other unusual breathing sounds); Skin sores or lesions, which are frequently filled with pus and do not heal; Decreased stamina; Joint pain; Reluctance to walk, loss of coordination; Lymph glands swelling. My dog did not seem to have a fever but she became very unhappy and anorexic another symptom of Blasomycosis and then her breathing became v e r y l a b o r e d . We rushed her to the vet and they started her on treatment but when she went into labor it was too much for her and she passed away and also losing all of her puppies. This was a very sad day for me and I decided that I want my dog to be an advocate of this disease. If I can save even one person’s pet or loved one due to this article she will not have died without some purpose. It seemed so senseless. We miss her! Caroline Hay

High scoring trio of Pat Swanson, Ernie Chambers, Garry Prusky lead Junior 'B' Huskies to first place early in 1970-71 hockey season
Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris The Chapleau Junior "B" Huskies were off to a fast start in the 1970-71 season finding themselves "all alone in top spot" after two weeks of play in the International Junior "B" Hockey League, according to Keith 'Buddy' Swanson, who doubled as hockey writer for the Chapleau Sentinel and team manager at the time. The Huskies had four wins and no losses after defeating their archrivals the Wawa Travellers at the Chapleau Memorial Arena 7-3, followed by a "thrilling" 5-3 win in Wa w a o n S u n d a y afternoon on the first weekend in November. Both wins were "keyed up by their already high scoring trio of Pat Swanson, Ernie Chambers and Garry Prusky" who accounted for 10 of 12 goals, Buddy wrote. Buddy also gave credit to the blue line brigade which was outstanding with lapses being few and far between. As I read Buddy's coverage of the games 43 years later, I could not help but recall our road hockey games in the general environs of Aberdeen Street where he would play and do the play by play at one and the same time. Also, I was refereeing in the International Junior "B" League and Buddy and I played a little game with each other. As long as he was in the stands

commenting on the general lack of quality of my officiating, even though he was the team's manager, there was little I could do about it. However, one night, he made a mistake and went on the bench where he picked up his usual refrain, and very quickly I gave him a game misconduct, forcing him to the team's dressing for the rest of the night. We remained friends! Those really were great days and a cavalcade of cars would leave Chapleau for games on the road especially to Wawa. Back to the action! Buddy noted that the line of Allan P e l l o w, R i c h a r d Lacroix and Jim Morin had their moments in the Saturday night matchup but with no luck around the net in either game. The third line with "hustling" Maurice Blais skating between wingers Steve P r u s k y a n d Te r r y Bryson more than held their own any time coach Earle Freeborn sent them over the boards. D a v i d McAdam gave the Huskies steady goaltending and in the second game of the weekend Billy We s t e r m a n p l a y e d admirably when called upon. Garry Prusky was the "spark plug" on Saturday as he "cashed two shots to put the Huskies ahead 2-0 after the first." Brother Doug
Prusky picked up assists on both of the "picturesque plays". Ernie Chambers connected early in the second frame. Pat Swanson and Richard Lacroix upped the Huskies margin to 5-1 before the second ended while Jim Cannon scored for Wawa. Garry Prusky finished off his hat trick 25 seconds into the third. Steve Prusky scored his first Junior "B" goal when his 70 foot slapshot zoomed past Real Samson in the Wawa goal. Over the years Steve became famous for his zooming slapshots after he started playing defence. In the 1970-71 season Steve also played for the Chapleau Midgets where brother Garry was the manager. I was the coach and we had to plan Midget games around the Junior "B" schedule, but it was never a problem. In the Sunday match in Wawa, Pat Swanson continued his "torrid scoring pace" and "blinked the light twice" in the first period giving the Huskies a 2-0 lead. E r n i e C h a mbers rammed home Chapleau's third goal for a 3-0 lead but Gary Varin responded for Wawa. With mere seconds left in the second period trouble erupted, and when it all cooled down, the Huskies were minus Garry Prusky and goaltender David McAdam with game misconducts. Buddy described it as a "violent fight" behind the Huskies goal.

The Travellers stormed to the attack with Gary Varin scoring two more goals but the d e f e n c e o f Wa y n e Murphy, Doug Prusky, Terry Higuchi and Tom Laframboise held their ground. R i c h a r d Lacroix made one of his patented end to end rushes, passing to Ernie Chambers who scored and then followed up as h e s k i d d e d a backhander the length of the ice to clinch things for Chapleau
with 33 seconds left. The Junior "B" Huskies started play in the International Junior "B" Hockey League in the 1966-67 season when they won the league and Northern Ontario Hockey Association championships. Lorne Riley started as coach with Buddy as manager but they reversed roles when Lorne was unable to continue. Tom Welch was the other founder of the team. Teams for the

YOUNG ARTISTS: Send your masterpiece to the Kids' Fish Art Contest Calling all kids! Grab your paints and pencil crayons. The Kids' Fish Art Contest is back. This annual contest, sponsored by the Ministry of Natural Resources, asks budding Rembrandts to picture what it's like to be a fish – literally! What do they look like? Where do they live? What do they eat, and what eats them?
Every year, the ministry picks two species living in Ontario lakes and rivers. This year's contest focuses on the largemouth bass, an olive green fish with a spiky dorsal fin, and the bloater, which swells up when taken from its deep-water habitat. All artwork should depict one of these two species in its natural

habitat. The art will be judged on its quality and attention to detail. Students must also prepare a one-page composition. Judges will choose winning entries in three age groups – Grades 4 to 6, Grades 7 to 9 and Grades 10 to 12 – one of which will win the grand
prize. The three winning designs will appear on the 2014 Young Angler's Licence and proceed to the international division of the State-Fish Art Contest sponsored by Wildlife Forever in the United States. Winners also take home great prizes. They include Staedtler-Mars art
supplies and fishing gear, with a trip to Pine Portage Lodge and a day of fishing with Italo Labignan, host of the Canadian Sportfishing Television Show, for the grand prize winner. The contest is open to Ontario students in Grades 4 to 12. Participants must submit their original, hand-drawn creation to the Ministry of Natural Resources before the contest closes on November 29, 2013. Students may enter only once.
“The Ministry of Natural Resources is proud to sponsor the Kids' Fish Art Contest,” says Natural Resources Minister David Orazietti. “It opens young people's eyes to the rich biodiversity in Ontario's lakes and rivers. We hope this outlet for their creative abilities inspires a long and rewarding interest in protecting our natural resources.” More information is available at ontario.ca/fishart contest.

Letters to the Editor There was a fantastic turn out for my 15 year anniversary party: clients & friends of all ages turned out for cake, coffee and reminiscing about how I started, what I have worked at and where I am now...I have explained in the past how I came to Chapleau and how I got started. In this article I think it would be good to explain more about my clients and my daily work. As many of you know I give therapeutic massages...working into the muscles and releasing knots. Many of my clients come for physical reasons but often their appointment addresses stress from mental, emotional & spiritual causes. I have been blessed over the years
to work with people of ages as young as three all the way into the nineties. I work on peoples feet : reflexology, reiki, hot stone massage and some of my spa treatments include mud wraps, sea salt scrubs and cellulite wraps. Each treatment is enjoyable and hopefully aids someone in healing. One person commented that I have taken away a lot of pain from Chapleau clients over the year, and I hope that is true. This has
been rewarding work where you are helping to make the other person fell better : less pain. I am also a yoga instructor. For those of you unfamiliar with yoga it is an exercise where you are doing gentle stretching and breathing. It can a ff e c t y o u r w h o l e lifestyle once you begin to practice it....I have worked with clients of all ages and it is amazing to to see how people progress through this exercise! I would like to thank all clients, family & friends for
town involvement. The scarecrow making contest. There were 13 entries in all. The winners of this contest are as follows: 1st place Cindy Fletcher, 2nd place Kristen Pellow and 3rd place Ethel Orton.

The PINK Boat Tour Raises Nearly $20K for Breast Cancer Research
After three months touring Northern Ontario, the P I N K N a d e n Fisherman will make its home in Callander, ON. At the closing ceremonies of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Run for the Cure North Bay, Naden Boats president Andre Lamothe was pleased to draw the winning
ticket and announce that Michel Mino of Callander, ON won the 14' PINK Naden Fisherman Package. At the same time, Lamothe was very pleased to announce that the Naden Boats' raffle had raised $19,591 for breast cancer research. Mino, a long time boater and resident of Northern
Ontario is very familiar with the Naden Boat brand. When Mino was told he was the winner, he said he couldn't believe how lucky he was. Mino will be adding the 14' aluminum Naden to his already established fleet of 2 sailboats. This summer Naden Boats partnered with the CBFC CIBC Run for the Cure North Bay volunteer team, and on June 29th of this year launched the PINK BOAT tour. A hand-crafted 14' PINK Naden Fisherman travelled several thousand kilometers to over 14 events in Northern Ontario where participating
De-cluttering is the secret to an organized home (NC) Everyone has a pantry that could be organized more efficiently, or a spice drawer that could use a little attention, but whipping your home into shape actually has more benefits than simply visual appeal. Experts say that an organized space may, in fact, reduce stress and create a more enjoyable living environment. “Clearing the clutter not only allows for a more attractive space in the home or office, but creates a more manageable lifestyle,” says Hellen Buttigieg, a certified professional organizer, life coach and author of Organizing Outside the Box. “My clients are shocked to find how dramatically an organized space can reduce stress and free up time to engage in more meaningful activities.” To avoid the energy-drain and dysfunction of clutter, there's an easy solution: start labelling. Try a compact, easyto-use label maker
such as the Brother PTo u c h P T- D 2 0 0 model. According to a new Léger Marketing n a t i o n a l s u r v e y, commissioned by Brother Canada, 75 per cent of moms agree that implementing a labelling system in the home or office would make life easier and save time in the long run. Take a look at these ideas for different places in your house: Kitchen • Label spices. Avoid licking your finger every time you need to choose between sugar or salt. • In the pantry, label specific types of flour, baking products, pasta, and cereals so the family knows what they are pulling out, and make meal prep easy. • Store and organize instruction manuals and warranty cards in a file folder, label and sort according to each room in the home. • Keep track of permission slips, registration forms, and schedules in a file folder. Label a tab for each family
member and organize by sporting activities, school events, medical information, and other important paperwork that needs to be accessible in a snap. Home Office • Keep tax information organized for easy reference. Label files in the cabinet for receipts according to month; subcategorize by type of expense: medical, transportation, business expenses, etc. • Neatly store unused power cords in a basket and label to identify which device each cord belongs to. Laundry Room & Front Entrance • Personalize hooks in the laundry room so kids know where to drop their backpack, raincoat, and scarf when they arrive home from school. • Label baskets for scarves, hats and gloves to make winter dressing a breeze. Once you start labelling you'll see how fun and easy it is to keep your home neat, organized and more functional.
Naden dealers sold raffle tickets at marina and community events. Whether it was WingFest in Dorset or the Alban Canada Day Weekend, Naden Boat dealers embraced the fundraiser, while at the same time taking the opportunity to chat about the unique boat building techniques used when crafting each Naden boat. In the end approximately 4,800 tickets were sold. Valued at $7K, the 14' P I N K N a d e n Fisherman prize package included a 14' P I N K N a d e n Fisherman, built by Te m a g a m i B o a t Manufacturing in Northern Ontario, a 15hp 4-stroke Tohatsu engine, a Yacht Club Trailer donated by BW Marine Products in North Bay, two Salus Marine PFDs, a handcrafted cover created by Temagami Marine and a safety and mooring package donated by Mariner's Cove in Mactier, ON. “I tried to attend as many of the events as I could,” stated Lamothe. “This little boat is like a magnet, and not just because it's pink or built here in North Ontario. People are very moved by the fight against breast cancer, and want to help. At times, it was
overwhelming to hear their stories.” The draw o c c u r r e d S u n d a y, October 6th at the conclusion of CIBC Run for the Cure in North Bay, ON. The North Bay Volunteer committee raised $138,747.78 during t h e y e a r. N a d e n ' s PINK BOAT tour is part of that total. Naden Boat Dealers: Mountain Trout House of Dorest, Marine Tech Plus in Noelville, Mariner's Cove Marina Ltd. in M a c t i e r, H a r p e r ' s Marina &Dock Shop in Callandar, Campbell's Landing in Gravenhurst, McGregor Bay Marina in Keene, Temagami Marine, and Beacon Marine in Point-auBaril, all hosted the PINK Boat tour and sold raffle tickets. The 14' PINK Naden Fisherman was hand-crafted in Temagami, ON. All Naden Boats are built using a proprietary cleaning and coating process that is environmentally safe. Naden boats are powder coated via an electrostatic process. As an added bonus, this molecular bonding creates a durable finish that is more scratch and fade resistant than alternatives. “As part of our
corporate culture, we have a definite environmental vision, it's not just a PINK eco-boat, it's an ecopackage “stated Lamothe.

The CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada's largest single day, volunteer-led fundraising event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research, education and awareness programs. Last year Canadians united to raise over $30 million for the event. “Breast cancer continues to be the most common cancer diagnosis in Canadian women over the age of 20,” continues Lamothe, “and we are pleased to have the opportunity to support the wonderful work being done by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.” “North Bay is right in our back yard and the CIBC Run for the Cure - North Bay is a wonderful allvolunteer project,” continued Lamothe. “We also thought we would have a little bit of fun and build a PINK boat.”

Throne Speech and Prorogation amount to failed exercises in diversion
RAPPORT D’OTTAWA par Carol Hughes M Membre du Parlement Fédéral Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
Parliament has returned after an unnecessary prorogation with a Throne Speech that has been described as one of the worst ever and sounded more like electioneering than a parliamentary blue-print. It contained mostly old initiatives and a few consumer friendly ideas that New Democrats have been telling the government about for years. The speech fell short on a number of fronts and didn’t even acknowledge the majority of challenges
that relate to our aging population which is a big concern for most of the people I speak to in Algoma-ManitoulinKapuskasing. True, there was mention of maintaining a monetary commitment to study dementia, but that only scratches the surface of the work the government could be doing to ensure our seniors are able to live with dignity. First Nations looking for a signal that this government will respect treaty obligations received no assurances. They also
worry the focus on on reserve education systems will be similar to the Safe Drinking Water Act, which laid out a lot of conditions and liabilities, but provided no resources to meet these. There was no job creation plan to address the fact that we have 1.3 million Canadians out of work to go along with the problems of runaway youth unemployment and underemployment. There was nothing to mark an end to the billions of dollars in subsidies and tax breaks given to the oil and gas i n d u s t r y, b u t t h e government is still claiming they can’t afford to give a tax break to small businesses despite the fact that this is where most
jobs are created. This is not the stuff of a government that is good on the economy which might help explain why, after years of singular economic focus, the Conservatives are starting to recognize that consumers are being pinched left, right, and centre. They tried to paint the Throne Speech as being aimed at consumers, but we have heard this before and, for all their past promises, they have consistently failed to deliver. They have a history of voting against better protection for consumers and are fresh off raising tariffs that make over 1200 products more expensive. There was also talk of ending geographic price gouging,
but for people in Northern Ontario we will believe it when we see it at the gas pumps. The irony of the speech was that it didn’t touch on the issue that Canadians are identifying as among the most important challenges facing our country – the state of our democracy and flagging trust in the institutions that are a feature of it – despite being delivered in the Senate which is something of a ground zero for the problem. The Prime Minister can only hope for Canadians to lose interest in the topic since it is clear he is not willing to do much of anything to change the way the Senate works or how it serves him and his party so well in ways that have nothing to do with legislation.
If Canadians want to do something about a Senate stuffed with party hacks and fundraisers, the Throne Speech was a clear indication that the Conservatives are not the party to do it. The Prime Minister jetted off to Brussels immediately after the speech to avoid Question Period. It is obvious that he is desperately trying to change the channel, but Canadians want and deserve some honest answers. He bought himself a little more time when he prorogued parliament and again when he left for Europe, but that won’t change the fact that there are tough questions waiting to be answered and nobody else can do it for him.
Balanced Budget Legislation a Win for Taxpayers The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today applauded the Conservative
government’s pledge to introduce balanced budget legislation. “This is the
strongest sign we’ve seen since Stephen Harper became prime minister that he means

business when it comes to balancing the budget,” said CTF Federal Director Gregory Thomas. The CTF has worked for balanced budget legislation since it was founded in the 1990s. Thousands of Canadians have signed our petition demanding the federal government balance the budget and pass legislation guarantee-
ing balanced budgets except in times of war or natural disaster. “The CTF is calling on all political parties to support a balanced budget law with real teeth that will hold future governments to account. Fiscal prudence should not be a partisan issue,” continued Thomas. “A balanced budget law that gets ignored as soon as a new party
takes power is useless.” “Does this mean that Canada will never see a budget deficit again? Probably not. But this commits the Conservative government to make good on their promise of a budget surplus by 2015,” said Thomas. “Breaking their own balanced budget law would be political suicide.”
