MP collects feedback
on Canada Post future
Diane Johnston
Speaker Reporter
TEMISKAMING SHORES –
What could Canada Post
look like in the future?
Local mail sorting, postal banking,
and electric vehicle
charging
stations
Nipissing-Timiskaming
were among the
MP Anthony Rota
ideas that emerged
from a meeting in Temiskaming Shores earlier this
week.
The goal of a national review of Canada Post is
to ensure that Canadians receive “the quality service that they require,” said Nipissing-Timiskaming
MP Anthony Rota.
The Liberal MP hosted the town hall meeting
that drew about 15 people to Temiskaming Shores
city hall July 19.
The Canada Post network encompasses 6,200
retail offices, 21 processing plants, and almost
64,000 employees, he said.
“What we’re trying to do is maximize use of the
superstructure that we have,” he said.
He said the feedback from the local session and
a meeting the next night in North Bay would be
forwarded to the task force conducting the review.
It’s important that Northern Ontario views be
reflected in the discussions, MP Rota said.
BUSINESS IMPACT
The review comes as Canada Post faces declining letter mail volumes and a surge in parcel delivery.
Speedier service and improved reliability are
needed, said George Othmer.
The Cobalt man said he typically sends up to 30
pieces of letter mail each month.
He also objected to the loss several years ago of
local mail sorting.
All mail in the area – whether destined for local
recipients or out of town – is transported to Toronto, where it’s sorted and then returned.

FAMILY LINE
Walleye was always the favourite when brothers Victor, at back, and Emile Héroux went fishing. In Haileybury last
week, they were hoping for a big catch when Emile, who lives in New Liskeard, joined Victor, who now lives at Extendicare Tri-Town, on an angling outing. About 20 Extendicare residents were accompanied by family, friends and
staff for a little fishing and a barbecue. (Staff photo by Diane Johnston)

Cobalt discusses
cost of Hoist Room
Darlene Wroe
Speaker Reporter
COBALT -- Questions were raised at Cobalt council at its
recent meeting regarding the costs of keeping the Hoist
Room open.
Councillor Sue Nielsen defended the maintenance
of the Hoist Room saying, “(it’s) a service provided to
Cobalters to enhance health and wellness.”
She was speaking at the regular meeting of council
Wednesday, July 13.
She argued that whether the Hoist Room is open or
not, the arena would still include a cost for electricity.
“The cost for the arena is still a cost.”
Mayor Tina Sartoretto also expressed the opinion that
the town “still would have to have electricity fed to the
building,” even if the Hoist Room were not operating.
Councillor Gary Bigelow suggested that if the Hoist
Room were closed down, the electricity cost for the
building would be reduced.
“The delivery charge would be minimal,” he said.
He questioned what the projected deficit is for the
arena.
Mayor Sartoretto questioned Councillor Bigelow’s
suggestion the delivery charge would be reduced if the
Hoist Room were closed.
“The delivery charge is the flat charge for the building,” she stated, but then qualified that the town could
look at it to ensure that is the case.

Real heroes
I walked into a local store to
purchase yet another sympathy
card and someone said to me,
“It’s okay Sue, it is Friday.”
I guess I looked that bad.
Truth is, I hadn’t felt that low
in a long time.
I had just come from Frankie
St. Cyr’s funeral and was scheduled to attend another funeral a
short time later.
Needless to say, I went home
and collapsed out of sheer exhaustion.
The exhaustion that comes
from knowing decent, wonderful, beautiful people are dying
way before their time.
Too many of our family members and friends are suffering
the indignities of cancer.
A disease that, for the most
part, isn’t going away anytime
soon and for which we haven’t
successfully found a reliable
cure.
We celebrate the fact that
we’ve sent space probes to Jupiter and we have a new app
called Pokémon that young
people are swooning about, yet
cancer rates remain high and
especially here in Temiskaming
where they are well above the
provincial average.
I am sick and tired of hearing
how people are suffering and
dying because of cancer and I
am angry.
Angry that billions of dollars are being raised each year
supporting the jobs of people
working in offices for organizations praising the work they do
to reduce cancer rates. I think
something has gone off the rails,
quite frankly.
I spoke with a breast cancer
survivor recently and she said
in the last 20 years since her diagnosis, the treatment for breast
cancer hasn’t changed.
She says the old “slash and
Sue
Nielsen
burn” techniques of surgery,
radiation or chemotherapy are
still the treatment options.
The Albert Einstein quote applies here: “Insanity is doing
the same thing over and over
again and expecting a different
result.”
Cancer is replacing heart disease as the Number One killer
worldwide and in the coming
years rates of cancer are expected to go through the roof as
baby boomers age.
According to Live Science,
the survival rates among adults
for all cancers combined improved from 50 per cent to 65
per cent since the 1970s.
Big deal.
We are told living healthy lifestyles will reduce cancer rates
but yet the healthiest people are
succumbing to the disease.
Let us ask some serious questions about the “cancer industry” created out of people’s suffering.
It is amazing how much money is raised in the name of cancer without the word “prevention” ever being used.
And finally, you know who
the real heroes in this world
are—not the hockey players,
not the politicians, not the Gandhis, but the people who are
fighting cancer, that’s who.
These heroes need our love,
our prayers and our compassion
as they literally fight for their
lives.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to the St. Cyr, Collins
and Stewart families.

Temagami Canoe
and Music Festival
The crowds were
plentiful, the sun shone
and the mood was festive as hundreds of people attended last weekend’s Temagami Canoe
Festival and Deepwater
Music Festival.
Congratulations to all
involved in this wonderful showcase of the natural landscape of Temagami and its people.
Ontario
Tourism
brought United Kingdom bushcraft expert
Ray Mears to town
and also famed Canadian canoeist and environmentalist,
Joanie
McGuffin.
Paddle Canada’s Jay
Morrison was also on
hand delivering valuable safety tips on
canoe travel and local
paddler Les Wilcox
delivered a solo canoe
demonstration.
Local performers who
played during the music
festival were guitarist
Jamie Dupuis, Esther
Pennell, David Laronde
and Les Stroud to name
a few.
It was a wonderful mix
of music and canoe lore
along the Temagami
waterfront, now in its
second year.
The important thing to
remember about these
types of festivals is they
are community-building
exercises designed to
bring people together
for a common goal and
to showcase your town.
The town of Temagami and its waterfront
with the newly refurbished waterfront wall
and mural designed by
First Nation artist Hugh
McKenzie never looked
better.
The annual Stan Martin Memorial Mud Bog is
being held this weekend
in Charlton.
The mud bog has
been a summer staple
in this region for 23
years.
This event has attracted hundreds of viewers
and participants from
across Northern Ontario.
The
event
sees
cars and trucks with
enhanced engines, big
tires and all-wheel drive
capability drive through
a pit of mud for a certain distance.
Mud bog events are
catching on across the
north as communities
realize the potential
impact of hosting these
events.
You haven’t really
been to a mud bog
unless you leave with
some form of mud on
your body.
Best of luck to everyone involved.

feedback on
Canada Post future
Continued from A Front
“We could use jobs here,” he said.
Deborah Ranchuk, who owns White Mountain Publications in Cobalt, agreed.
The former system, she said, “was working
fine. Change it back.”
She described the maintenance of a postal
service as essential to small business.
She’s run a mail order business for the past
24 years, and the first postal strike it experienced “damn near put me bankrupt.”
At peak times of the year, she said she sends
several hundred pieces of mail per month.
Every highway closure because of a collision
or bad weather hits her business, she said.
She called for long-range planning to avoid
sudden rate hikes, which hit businesses hard
and affect their own planning.
EMPLOYEE SUGGESTIONS
Postal employees are also suggesting ways
to boost Canada Post revenue.
They’re proposing postal banking, which was
once available in Canada, said Keith Bradford,
a mail carrier and president of North Bay Local
576 of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers
(CUPW). It represents about 115 workers from
Englehart to South River and from Mattawa to
Sturgeon Falls.
In some countries, Mr. Bradford said banking represents as much as 70 per cent of the
national postal system’s revenues.
It would also be a solution for small communities like Cobalt that have no bank, he said.
It’s an instance, he said, where the postal
service could step in where the private sector
won’t.
He said Canada Post could also take advantage of a national network of outlets almost
double that of Tim Hortons.
Its locations could offer, he said, charging stations for electric vehicles and high-speed wireless Internet access for government services
and voting by email.
Its delivery network could take over the food
deliveries to remote Northern communities
now performed by private contractors, said
Diane Mitchell, national campaign coordinator
with CUPW.
Its network of rural and urban carriers could
run a service checking up on seniors and other
vulnerable people, Mr. Bradford said.
“We’re in the community every day, unlike
anybody else,” he said.
He too called for the return of local mail sorting, describing Temiskaming Shores as “the
perfect community” to showcase its benefits.
NEXT STEPS
MP Rota said he was pleased with the turnout and the input.
He said further suggestions would be welcome, and could be delivered or emailed to his
office by the end of this week.
Comments can also be sent directly to the
task force, at www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/examendepostescanada.canadapostreview, by the
end of July.
As for the review itself, the task force –
chaired by Quebec business leader Françoise
Bertrand – will present a discussion paper to
MPs, the government and the public in September.
It’ll look at Canada Post’s finances, users’
views of service, and future options.
A parliamentary committee will then take
over and lead another round of consultations.
It’s scheduled to present its recommendations to the government by the end of this
year.
Continued from A Front
She stated that the town will know better by early 2017, before
the next budget, what the costs are to maintain the Hoist Room.
“The Hoist Room costs will be clarified before the next budget
so the folks of Cobalt know what its costs are,” she said. “This year
will certainly give a better picture.”
Councillor Mike Harrison questioned whether one of three
meters at the arena could be removed in order to reduce costs
that way.
Mayor Sartoretto agreed that would be worth looking at.
Councillor Nielsen noted that the town has increased the
membership fees for out-of-town users at the Hoist Room.
The town’s fees for operating the arena over the past three
years, and impacts as it closed down the ice plant and eliminated
skating, were noted: in 2013 the cost was $104,000, in 2014 it was
$88,000 and in 2015 it was at $46,000.
The arena building is currently being offered for sale.

ENGLEHART -- A display of
artwork by Sudbury artist Brigitte Bere is now on exhibit at
the Englehart and Area Historical Museum.
Visitors will be transported to
another world, another space,
and another time as they wander among the masks and paintings by the artist, who has been
highly recognized throughout
the region and beyond.
Ms. Bere, originally from
Germany, has lived in Canada
since 1976 but many of her
works are reminiscent of her
youth spent in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Her explorative techniques
discover new and evocative
depths among the colours and
expressions of her works.
The thought-provoking exhibition continues at the Englehart and Area Historical Museum until July 31.
Titled On The Face Of It, the
exhibition includes many masks
created by Ms. Bere, as well as
paintings resonating with rich
colour.

Ms. Bere comments of her
work, “The titles of the masks
are interchangeable with other
titles, depending on your personal view.” She stated, “The
masks express a variety of emotions and what we may fear or
want in life.”
She also commented about
her paintings, stating, “Most of
the paintings deal with the same
issues--emotions, memories of
living in Germany, remnants
of the old printing process and
again people with issues that
come up from time to time.”

World renowned
outdoorsman Ray Mears
in Temagami
Darlene Wroe
Speaker Reporter
TEMAGAMI -- World-renowned outdoorsman and television host Ray Mears of Hastings, England, was in Temagami
for the Temagami Canoe Festival.
A large crowd joined him
Saturday afternoon, July 16, at
the Temagami Waterfront as he
outlined many tips relating to
bushcraft and survival, which
he teaches.
On Friday, July 15, Mr. Mears
spoke at the Temagami Information Centre (Welcome Centre) about the steps needed to
increase tourism, and in the process, strengthen conservation.
Mr. Mears lives in the same
area of England as Archibald
Belaney grew up in before he
travelled to North America,
came to the North, and adopted
the name of Grey Owl.
Mr. Mears related that as a
youth he had been at a local library when his elbow bumped
a trolly and a book about Grey
Owl fell off. Mr. Mears picked
up the book and began to read it.
This set him on the path that defined his life, spreading passion
for the outdoors through television, broadcasting, writing, and
teaching.
Most recently he has hosted
The Great Canadian Grey Owl
Adventure Contest, sponsored
by the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation
(OTMPC) and Northeastern
Ontario. Following the festival,
four winners of the contest (two
from the United Kingdom, and
two from Sarnia, Ontario) left
with Mr. Mears on an eight-day
loop tour through the Temagami
wilderness which included lakes
Obabika and Wakimika.
Mr. Mears promotes the value
of building wilderness tourism,
and in the process, strengthening reasons to conserve the wilderness. “You’re maintaining
a healthy ecosystem for those
who live there,” he said.
He recommended putting “a
financial value on wild places”
to back conservation.
Mr. Mears also spoke of the
value of taking children on wilderness trips. “The children who
go on those canoe trips are politicians of the world,” he said.
TOURISM DESTINATION
OTMPC representative Steve
Bruno commented that “Ontario
is attempting to further its position as a tourism destination for
European markets.”
Mr. Mears stated his focus
also “is to steer people to go out
more into the wilderness.”
He added that Northern Ontario is ideally situated as a
tourism destination for United
Kingdom markets. It is a relatively short flight between Toronto and England, he pointed
out. From Toronto, there is easy
highway access to Northern Ontario. Toronto is a cosmopolitan
and fun city itself, he added. He
emphasized the presence of the
nearby Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough.
Mr. Mears said Ontario is his
preferred destination because
the province has “landscape
that is still intact and pristine.”
Here people can enjoy adventure, solitude, fishing, birding
and nature, he said.
Mr. Mears also urged the
continued development of
“high quality lodges with a
strong sense of nature.... A
lodge should be so good, people would organize a wedding
there, or a honeymoon.”
He also talked about the importance of offering well-developed guiding services.
“Guiding is really important,”
he said, noting there are people
“who are a little nervous going
into wild places.” He commented, “The standards of guiding
have to be very high.”
Temagami Mayor Lorie
Hunter was present and com-
mented that Mr. Mears’ presence has meant the Temagami
Canoe Festival and Temagami
Deepwater Music Festival
weekend “has been raised to a
whole other level.”
Mr. Bruno also commended
the work of Carolyn Laronde of
the Temagami Artistic Collective who coordinated the weekend.
“I know how hard you’ve
been working. There is a lot of
energy here and it’s attributed to
you.”
This is the second year Mr.
Mears has attended the event
with the OTMPC. Mr. Bruno
commented he noticed the infrastructure upgrades that have
occurred in the past year, and
congratulated the town on that.
Mr. Bruno noted the successes already being observed with
the development of European
tourism marketing to Ontario.
He said one small business has
seen an increase of $60,000 in
business due to the booking of
16 British visitors last year.
Mr. Mears commented of
Grey Owl, “He was a man who
was an extraordinary woodsman. In some way, nature
reached out and touched him.”
While he noted the value of
“domestic bush skills,” he also
spoke about the importance of
“the old First Nations detailed
knowledge” of being outdoors.

Dangerous Plant Species in the Area
Giant Hogweed
The stems and leaves of this plant are covered with small hairs coated with poisonous sap. Even the slightest touch can cause painful blisters and severe skin irritation.
The symptoms can take a couple of days to develop with the skin becoming highly
photosensitive producing large watery blisters; however the effects can be long lasting, with contact resulting in recurrent dermatitis. This is a particular concern for small
children who may use the stems as pea-shooters or pretend telescopes resulting in
horrific injuries.
What does Hogweed Look Like?
• very tall, 8-14 feet
• Stems have rigid hairs, purple blotches and are hollow
• Flower clusters up to 2 ft across occurring from mid June to late July
• Has a reddish purple stem with fine spines that make it appear furry
Wild Parsnip
Is another weed that should also be avoided. The effects are similar to those associated with
Giant Hog Weed. Irritation can occur if your skin contacts the plant’s fluids and is then exposed
to sunlight. Contact with the eyes can cause temporary blindness and in rare cases permanent
blindness.
Wild parsnip can be found within uncultivated land, roadside ditches, parklands, nature trails and
sports fields as well as on and around residential properties.
What Does Wild Parsnip Look Like?
• smells like parsnip
• stands 20-60 inches high, branched, hollow stem
• small yellow clustered flowers
• flowers from late June into late fall (resembles dill)
Being able to readily identify wild parsnip and giant hogweed will minimize accidental exposure
to these plants and the painful results that follow.
Anyone having information on specific locations where these weeds are posing a public risk
should contact the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711. You will be asked to send in
photos for identification. DO NOT touch, cut or collect parts of the plant.

COBALT (Staff) -- Grey County artist Peter John Reid was in Cobalt June
13 to 16 to teach a course on acrylics,
start to finish, at the Golden Age Club.
Mr. Reid said he is familiar with the
Temiskaming region, and Larder Lake
in particular, and comments the scenery is “spectacular.”
Trained at the Ontario College of
Art, Mr. Reid now exhibits across the
province.
He also was the founder of Studio
Twenty, where he honed his skills
teaching art.
He has published a book titled How
to Paint with Acrylics, and has also
produced two videos which can be
found on craftsy.com.
The art class in Cobalt was organized by Joe-Ann Cleroux with “a
fun group” of students who received
insights into the art including an overview of what is needed, colour, shading and perspective.
For more information about Mr.
Reid, his art and class locations, email
[email protected].

TEMISKAMING SHORES (Special) – The sun is shining, the water’s calm, and you’re ready to head on to – or
into – the water.
Temiskaming Ontario Provincial Police are reminding
the public to stay safe.
In a news release, police advise caregivers that children
require constant supervision around water, be it a pool,
beach, lake, or boat.
Police say drownings can and do happen where there is
little water and the risk is least expected, so stay within
arm’s reach when children are near water.
Police urge the public to remember the following points:
•Wear your lifejacket.
•Don’t drink and boat.
•Take boating courses and review safe boating techniques prior to departure.
•Be prepared.
•Learn about the risks of cold water and how to protect
yourself.
“Know the differences between a lifejacket and personal
flotation device (PFD). Pick one that best suits your sporting needs and assure that they fit yourself and your family
members properly,” said Inspector Brent Cecchini of the
Temiskaming OPP.
Lifejackets offer a higher level of protection when it
comes to staying afloat and turning an unconscious person
on to his or back to enable breathing, says the Canadian
Safe Boating Council (CSBC).
“Remember that bright colours are easier to see in the
water and to wear your life saving device at all times,”
Inspector Cecchini added.
Police say alcohol is a factor in almost 40 per cent of
boating incidents in Canada, and its effects can be intensified by sun, wind and the rocking motion of the vessel.
In Ontario boaters caught drinking and boating can face
consequences similar to those for drinking and driving.
This applies to operating motorized and non-motorized
vessels, from powerboats, sailboats and personal watercraft to canoes, kayaks, dinghies and other inflatables.
For safety-related information, see the CSBC, at www.
csbc.ca.

Friday, July 22, 2016
HAILEYBURY (Staff) -- The
Ghost of the Hardy Boys’ Short
Story Contest has wrapped up
for another year.
Young people from across the
district, and family members,
gathered at the Haileybury Heritage Museum Saturday, June
11, to share their successes as
emerging young writers.
Winners of this year’s event
were Paige Oukes (first place
for ages 8 to 10); Emma Browne
(first place for ages 11 to 12);
Jayde Duhn and Liam Hopkins
(each receiving first place for
ages 13 to 14); and Jake McCarthy and Dayna Rodgers (each receiving first place for ages 17 to
19). Honourable mentions were
awarded to: Zoey Bembridge
(ages 8 to 10); Amelia Hobden
and William Hearn (ages 11 to
12); Emma Brownlee, Jayden
Martin, Hannah Taylor and Caroline Van Iperen (ages 17 to 19).
A special judges’ choice award
was given to Caroline Van Iperen for outstanding writing in the
genre of psychological romance
mystery.
A special award for interest in
writing was given to Freya Guillemette.
The committee also thanked
retiring Englehart High School
English teacher Lee Merrifield
who has encouraged his students
to enter the annual competition.
Judges Mary Belanger, Alison
McCorkle, Catherine Gillier and
Betty Stone perused the submissions from young people who
had entered the writing competition.
Winners and supporters of the Ghost of the Hardy Boys Short Story Contest are pictured here. At the back, from the left, are:
Lee Merrifield; Donald Lévèille; Elizabeth Bishop; Liam Hopkins (first place, ages 13-14); Dayna Rodgers (first place, ages

writing); Jayde Duhn (first place ages 13-14); Zoey Bembridge (honourable mention, ages 8-10); and Paige Oukes (first place,
ages 8-10). Missing from the picture are: William Hearn (honourable mention, ages 11-12); Jake McCarthy (first place, ages

mention, ages 17-19). (Staff photo by Darlene Wroe)
INSPIRATION
The contest was inspired by
the story contributions and successes of the late Haileybury
writer Leslie McFarlane who
penned 21 of the Hardy Boys
stories in the early part of the
twentieth century. The stories
were published under the name
Franklin W. Dixon by Stratemeyer Syndicate.
Mr. McFarlane also wrote seven of the Dave Fearless novels as
Roy Rockwood, and four of the
Dana Girls Mystery Series under
the name of Carolyn Keene.
He also wrote for the National
Film Board of Canada and for
CBC television.
The Ghost of the Hardy Boys
Short Story Contest was supported through donations from
organizations and individuals
such as the IODE Haileybury
Chapter and the Temiskaming
Foundation, Chris Gallagher,
the Temiskaming Shores and
Area Rotary Club, and Dale and
Lydia Alexander. The IODE has
established an endowment fund
for the contest, and others are
being encouraged to consider
donating to the endowment
fund to support the contest in
future years.
The Ghost of the Hardy Boys
Short Story Contest committee
is now preparing for its centennial celebration which will take
place in 2017.
Volunteers and others with
suggestions are asked to contact
Ms. Stone at 705-672-5252 or
to email the Haileybury Heritage Museum at hhmuseum@
hotmail.ca.

What an eyesore,

person’s trash really
is another’s treasure,
and it is imperative
that you recognize
that. A plan is
hatched.
Reach, Pisces, reach
for it! You’re too

will be handed out.
Make sure you get

Tone it down, Taurus.
The issue requires
a more reserved
approach. A letter
smoothes things over
with a friend and gets
them back onboard.
Relax, Gemini.
Errors are par for
the course. Keep at
it, and eventually,
those wrinkles will
get ironed out. A
friend tries to save
face but fails.
