The West Nipissing Volunteer Fire
Fighters are showing their true colours,
and in October that includes pink! After
their first ever pink t-shirt campaign to
fight breast cancer raised $2,500 last year,
they are back at it again this month and
aiming to raise even more money.
Last year, the month long fundraiser
raised approximately $2,500 through the
sale of pink t-shirts, and this year organizers and volunteer fire fighters Mike
Dionne, Hubert Guidon and Kevin Claro
have already raised more than that, and
the fundraiser is just getting started.
Spearheaded by the three fire fighters, the campaign is raising money for
the West Nipissing General Hospital’s
(WNGH) mammography unit.
“Last year we put the pink ribbon on
the sleeve, but this year we went out and
we tried to raise a bit more money obviously, so we contacted (…) 12 sponsors
and the 12 sponsors we called (…) said
no problem and gave us $250 each,” Guidon shares.
This means that they have already surpassed last year’s amount even before
selling a single t-shirt, starting with a
hefty $3000.
“What we would like this year is (…)
every Friday, everybody wear [their pink
t-shirts] and at the end of October, we
would like [everybody who purchased
one] to attend station 1B at 8:30 a.m. on
October 27,” he invites, adding there will
be a group photo taken.
Not only are the volunteer fire fighters
and the hospital on board, but Dionne
says local teachers have also been busy
supporting the cause and the fire fighters
from Cache Bay have been selling t-shirts
very quickly as people are responding
well to the campaign.
“Last year we were selling just for the
fire fighters and their family,” Hubert
points out.
“This year we have [youth sizes], so we
are trying to sell a lot to our kids in the
community and everybody is encouraged
to come for the group photo,” Dionne enthuses.
Dionne says their aim is also to create
awareness that October is breast cancer
month and to show the West Nipissing
Volunteer Fire fighters are fully involved

“It’s a good cause,” Hubert adds.

for the human chain,” Duhaime explained.
With most of the students from the school participating in the event, Duhaime said the weather was definitely
on their side, with the worst of the rain holding off during the human chain.
“It’s the first time I remember having rain for the day,
but we still went out. We were lucky, when we did go out,
there was just a bit of rain, just to say, it held off until we
were done,” she said.“I think maybe five minutes after we
were done, it started pouring (…) so we just, just made
it.”
She said it’s important for kids to participate in activities like this, because it shows them there are people
in our community who are in need, and allows them to
help and be part of something positive and communityminded. She added that it also shows adults that kids are
an active part of the community and can pitch in to help
others.
Of course, the community at large also does its share,
in donating the food so generously every year.
Duhaime said it was also important “to thank the
community. It’s our 11th year, they encourage us, they
welcome us in their homes on Wednesday night and obviously it’s their generosity that makes everything possible.”
Just as thankful is Claudette LeRoy, president of the
WN Food Bank.
“Even though it was raining, the kids were still enjoying their human chain and this again will keep us going
for another year in non-perishable food,” LeRoy recognized.
She said that throughout the winter months, the food
bank serves approximately 80 families, and than number
can grow when there are emergencies.
“People from year to year are being more generous
and we’re getting more products that we weren’t getting
before,” she added, giving hygiene products, gluten free
food and products for seniors as examples.
According to LeRoy, there is a special section for gluten free products at the bank and they also keep other
specialty items, such as low sodium products, stocked for
special diets.
LeRoy shared that her involvement with the food bank
started back in 1990 and she has been there steady since
1992, taking pride in her contribution.
“Especially with things like this, it makes it worthwhile,” LeRoy pointed to the kids’ involvement.
She added that other kids from around the community
come by on the evening of the human chain to help organize all the food, making it a whole community effort.
Some of the food even gets shipped to their storage space
at the Cache Bay Community Centre.
“They seem to be getting more sensitive towards the
cause,” she enthused. “This is great.”
Of course, the giving doesn’t stop at Thanksgiving, as
this effort will continue to help for months to come, feeding numerous families who rely on the WN Food Bank.
“I’m sure the people who come here are very thankful,
it’s amazing,” concluded LeRoy.
After collecting canned goods from around the community
on Wednesday, October 3, students and the non-perishables made their way to the Franco-Cité cafeteria where
everything was organized and packed that evening.

“We are all affected one way or the other
by breast cancer, through our kids, grandmothers, aunts and uncles and so on,” Dionne states.
He adds that having the unit at the
WNGH means people don’t have travel to
North Bay or Sudbury for those important exams.
WNGH CEO Cynthia Desormiers says it
was the Dionne, Guindon and Claro who
approached the hospital with the idea,
and she is grateful they did.
“[This] increases awareness for breast
cancer, early detection and health promo-
tion and prevention. We’re quite excited;
we’re selling the t-shirts here for the first
time in the hospital as well, so staff will
be wearing them on Fridays,” she shares.
“There are always costs associated with
the unit, from the maintenance, new parts
and all kinds of stuff. I mean it’s a very
costly unit to operate, so these are welcomed dollars,” she concludes.
T-shirts are $20 each and are available
by calling the West Nipissing Fire Service
at 705-753-1171 or the West Nipissing
General Hospital at 705-753-3110. The
group photo will take place at the fire station located beside the John St. bridge.
Literacy - why it matters!
What do Walt Disney, Henry Ford, George Washington, Muhammad Ali, Cher,
Leonardo da Vinci and Whoopi Goldberg have in common? The gift of
dyslexia! Many successful people share this gift. Sometimes the mind works
in a way that is unique. It just doesn't see words the way most people do. It
does not learn in the same way as most people. The inability to learn using
traditional educational methods, does not mean one cannot learn. It does
not mean one cannot think. It does mean one is 'special.'

Train’s ‘death knell’ leaves Northerners in mourning
A personal account from
aboard the Northlander
by
Wayne F. LeBelle
Humankind still rings a bell to announce the death of a person, which
is well known as a “death knell”, or,
the “tolling of the bell” --- but never
for a train, until now.
The death knell is usually an emotional moment that brings tears, depending on how much the person
was liked and whether they would be
missed, or not. I felt the death knell
of a dying passenger rail recently, as
did my daughter Deborah, also a historian, as we rode the Northlander
of the Ontario Northland Railway
(ONR) passenger train Sept. 27-28.
We were in the Northlander as it rode
to its own death, blowing its woeful whistle announcement through
many communities. This event will
drastically change how people will
get around in the winter, especially
in the real Northern part of Northern Ontario.
I spent my time doing interviews,
taking photographs, video clips, and
other archival materials from riders
and train staff which will be released
on “Ournorthernontario.ca” website
which will be launched in early 2013.
I will also be publishing the story of
the “Last Train to Cochrane”, a book
of the history of Northern Ontario
and railroads that have vaporized in
the last century.
I was joined for the final ride by
local politicians, history buffs, musicians, poets, artists, union members
and families, who also liked the “live
history” and the telling of their stories of the north. Everyone agreed
that the governments have a myopic
view of trains and Northern Ontario.
Over 1,200 unhappy people heard
the knell, which began in Cochrane
and ended in Toronto. Six hundred
of these people rode the Northlander, from Sept. 27-28, as it went
from North Bay to Cochrane and
then south to Toronto where it was
returned to Cochrane. There, the
passenger train was taken apart and
cannibalized to repair other equipment.
The other 600 were standing along
the ONR railroad waving their signs,
repeating that the train was not for
sale and they wanted to keep “their
railroad.”
The train blew its whistle for each
and everyone as it went through 15
communities who will now have to
live without a train that has been
stopping for them for 103 years,
never to return again. The stops
from Cochrane to Toronto included

Train’s ‘death knell’ leaves

nings that the Northlander was an institution and a legacy. The event hit most
people in the heart and many cried openly to see their train taking its final run.
The passenger rail line began as the
Temiskaming and Northern Ontario
(TN&O) railway in 1902 and by 1921,
construction of a line north to James
Bay was started; an extension to James
Bay was opened in 1932. In 1946, the line
became the Ontario Northland Railway
(ONR).
Ontario says that the ONTC’s budget has
been increased by 274 per cent over the
last nine years, from $28 million annually
to $103 milllion this year. Since 2003-04,
the government has invested $439 million
in the ONTC to help it become viable and
self-sustaining.
MNDM Minister Rick Bartolucci says
that no government in recent memory
has worked harder to make the ONTC
viable. “We have made significant investments in the ONTC since 2003, but the organization is not on a sustainable financial path,” he said earlier this year. “Our
priority is to invest in areas that matter
most to northerners, such as health care,
education, northern highways and the
Northern Ontario Heritage Fund.”

For the very first time, the Lumberjacks have a ‘Lumberjill’. Alyssa Moyer, 18, made her debut in net for the
Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks on Saturday, Sept. 29, and
proved her goal tending skills are as strong as any of her
male counterparts.
Moyer recently moved up here from Orillia, after making the roster for the 2012/2013 season with the Lumberjacks. No stranger to the ice, she has been playing
hockey since she was eight years old.
“Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to play hockey and
then my dad and I moved to North Bay and he enrolled
me in hockey I think a year after I came here,” she recalls. “He would never let me play goal though, it was too
expensive.”
She finally got her chance about three years later; during one of the team’s practices, the goalie didn’t show up
so she jumped at the opportunity to get in net, and has
never taken off the pads since.
“I’ve kind of been anywhere (…) I played for the
North Bay Icebolts, the rep team, and then I tried out for
my first boys rep team in Bantam (A division…) and I
made the team as goalie,” she shares.
In her teens, Moyer moved down south where she lived
with her Mom and played for a girls’ midget ‘AA’ team.
“I did that for a few years and then as of this year, I
was in the midst of playing girls junior provincial, then
I had try-outs up here,” she explains.
So she packed up and left everything to come back
and live with her father in Sturgeon Falls, all so she
could experience a different level of hockey.
“I was happy and sad at the same time because I had
to leave my boyfriend, my friends and tell my old hockey
team,” she recounts. “I pretty much had to leave everything, I hadn’t lived with my dad for six years, now he
has five other kids of his own, it’s been different.”
Today, she thinks the big change was worth it. While
she was expecting the guys to be a little hard on her in
the beginning, she assures they have all been really accepting of her.
“I wanted a big challenge, and I knew coming to this
team, the first year I probably wouldn’t get too many
games, but in the next few years who knows what will
happen,” she states.
Currently enrolled at Northern Secondary School, she
says that for the longest time she was focused on going
to the Olympics, but now she is taking a different approach and focusing more on the here and now. “Whatever happens, happens,” she philosophizes.
Moyer says her objective this year she is to make
some improvements to her game and have a good goals-

against average.
“I just want to really impress people,” she states.
She began to do that during the Sept. 29 home game
against the Shelburne Red Wings, her first appearance
in the Lumberjacks’ net. While the team lost 7-5 and she
was pulled late in the third period, her coach Lui Ricci
was pleased with what he saw.
Ricci says the game went well and Shelburne was hungry for a win after just coming off a three game losing
streak.
“Alyssa played well, she made some big saves when
she had to make the big saves for us. It wasn’t the goal
tending that was the miscue, it’s the five guys on the ice
previous,” he states.
“I was very pleased with the way she played,” he declares, adding that she will have more opportunities
to show her skills. “She’ll get her game, she’s equal like
the rest of the goalies that we have so she’ll get another
game somewhere down the road.”
Prior to Saturday’s game, Ricci said Moyer had approached him in May but since he had already committed to a few other goalies from Europe, he told her to
come out to the training camp and they would go from
there.
“You know what, the first day of training camp she impressed me and from here on in, I couldn’t cut her,” he
said. “There was no way.”
He also pointed out that 20 years ago, Manon Rheaume was the first woman to play professional hockey with
the Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL, and Moyer is one
of the first female goalies in Canadian tier two junior
Hockey.
“The first time I saw when she practiced, I didn’t know
that she tried out for one of my Peewee teams back in
2006-2007, and I cut her. I had no idea who she was until
she came back,” he recalled.
“We gave her a good look (…) she challenges, she
stands up, she squares off to the puck perfectly, so she is
doing a good job,” Ricci concluded.

Soldier comes home for
well-earned retirement
DENTAL OFFICE
by Wayne F. LeBelle
Special to the Tribune
He stands at 6 feet, 2.5 inches tall,
weighs in at 250 lbs and wears size 11
boots.
Master Warrant Officer Mike Lalonde
is a soft man, who is calm on first sight.
Behind the serious business face is a kind
gentle man, veteran of wars in the Middle
East and other parts of the world.
He is a mission-orientated soldier who
once carried a submachine gun under
his coat while escorting diplomats with
one hand, and in the other, he had a wad
of American money ready to pay for a
“safe” way across the border from Lebanon to Syria. He was running diplomatic
mail between Canadian embassies as the
airport in Beirut, Lebanon was closed
due to the war.
He is a native son of Sturgeon Falls and
one of Canada’s finest.
Mike, one of four children of Peter
Lalonde and Monica Mayhew, both natives of Sturgeon Falls, was born in
Sudbury in 1959. He attended primary
school in Coniston and secondary in
Sudbury. Mike and his family spent many
summers and weekends visiting over 250
relatives who live in the Sturgeon Falls
area to this day. He loves the area, especially his home in Evansville, where he
plans to spend his retirement with his
wife Brenda.
Too
young to join the
OPP
Now Accepting New Patients
The Municipality of West Nipissing is required to
maintain the water distribution systems in Sturgeon
Falls, Cache Bay and Verner. Part of the
maintenance program is to flush the lines of built up
sediments, which may result in some consumers
receiving discoloured water. If this occurs, turn on the
cold water until it clears.
Flushing in Sturgeon Falls will occur during the day
and evenings, Monday to Thursday, and only during
the day in Verner and Cache Bay. When flushing
occurs in your area, check if the water is discoloured
before using it for drinking or washing clothes. A
tentative schedule is:
Sturgeon Falls: October 1 to October 31, 2012
Mike and Brenda Lalonde, who live in Evansville, hit the road every chance
they can each summer, as he has been deployed on operations and overseas for a good part of their marriage, serving in the Canadian forces. He is
retiring this year after 35 years of service to Canada. The 1948 Changyang
motorcycle, a 2 cylinder they are riding, has been rebuilt in China and is often
seen around West Nipissing. It is a sidecar motorcycle, a rebuild of a German
BMW which was used during WWII. The Chinese copied this motorcycle
and made their own version that was mass-produced. Mike and Brenda purchased the motorcycle and had it refurbished while serving at the Canadian
Embassy in Beijing, China.

After high school, Mike worked with
his Dad at INCO for a short stint, as he
was too young to join the OPP in 1978. He
joined the military as an Artilleryman
serving with Whisky Battery at Canadian
Forces Base Gagetown, New Brunswick,
2 Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Regiment, E Battery
Paratroop at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, Ontario.
In 1983, Mike changed trades and became a Military
Policeman serving at CFB Petawawa, Kingston, Ottawa
and North Bay. Mike also served as Military Police liaison with the Canadian Airborne Regiment and the Royal
Canadian Dragoons.
He has served at several Canadian Embassies throughout the world as a Military Police Officer conducting security services. Mike was in Beirut in 1984. At that time,
Lebanon was at war with the Israelis and Palestinians.
From 1987-89, he was at the Canadian Embassy in the
former Czechoslovakia Public Republic that was embroiled in the Cold War.
From 2003-2005, he served as the Military Police Detachment Commander at the Canadian Embassy in China, where he bought the motorcycle and sidecar he now
enjoys riding around West Nipissing.
From 2005-2007, he served as the Security manager at
the Canadian Embassy and Representative Officer in Ramallah, Palestine. From July 2011, he was serving as the
Military Police Security Service Detachment Commander and Mission Security manager in Kabul, Afghanistan
until July 2012.
His overseas tours include Cyprus, Bosnia, Camp Mirage, Kandahar and Kabul in Afghanistan. In Canada,
he has been part of Operations in Akwesasne and Ipperwash. Throughout his career, Mike has placed first on
most of his military courses and has received a Chief of
Defence Staff Commendation for defusing an incident,
which had he not taken quick action, could have led to an
international situation.
Coming
home, finally
Of course, this illustrious career has not been easy on
Mike or his loved ones, necessitating many sacrifices and
long periods of time apart. He was in Canada on leave
when his second son was born, leaving five days after his
birth.
After 33 years of marriage, his wife Brenda has come
to accept this way of life, out of love. Mike knows he is a
lucky man for it.
“I will love her forever for her patience and how she
kept our family together while I was away. She has been
at and stood by my side keeping the home fires burning
while I was away. She was able to reside with me on occasion at some embassy postings, but most of the time, she
was at home,” he recognizes.
They have two sons, one an OPP officer and the other a
fireman. They also have several grandchildren now, and
fortunately, Mike will soon be free to enjoy them more
often.
Mike and Brenda look forward to his retirement at
their home in Evansville, near Sturgeon Falls, which is
expected any day now. Knowing he will not return to the
Middle East or other parts of the world will be a welcome
change.
“My wife and I are looking forward to long motorcycle
drives, visiting with our children and the grandchildren,
relatives and friends plus cruising down the Sturgeon
River, or watching the geese and ducks cackling at each
other from our living room,” he states.
Sounds like a calm, idyllic life – one well deserved after
so much dedication and sacrifice.
During the afternoons, Moose 99.3FM will announce
the areas being flushed for that evening. You may
also check the Municipality's home page at:

Patriotes top Braves
to take Bomber Bowl
The Franco-Cité Patriotes won their fourth straight Bomber
Bowl title, squeezing out a 9-7 victory over the Northern
Braves on a soggy field last Thursday in Sturgeon Falls.
Josh Brunet scored early in the first quarter to give the
Braves a 6-0 lead, and Patrick Girard added a convert to
make it 7-0.
However that lead would be short-lived.
Patriote Steven Levesque scored a second-quarter touchdown on a pass from quarterback Patrick Major. Nicolas
Gingras added the convert.
The Patriotes took an 8-7 lead into halftime courtesy of a
single point from a Gingras punt. He then added another
single on a kickoff to complete the scoring.
“The boys showed up for the game today, wanting to forget
last week’s tough loss in North Bay” said Patriotes head
coach Rock Lachance. “We hope we can build on this
going forward”.
The Patriotes are now set to host the Widdifield Wildcats
this Thursday October 11th in their home opener at Goulard
Park. Game time is scheduled for 4pm.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION
Replacement of the Highway 535 Veuve River Bridge
McCormick Rankin (MRC) – a member of MMM Group, on behalf of the Ontario
Ministry of Transportation (MTO), has completed the Detail Design for the replacement
of the Veuve River Bridge (G.W.P. 137-88-00) located on Highway 535 approximately
200 m north of Highway 17 in the Municipality of Markstay-Warren. The location of the
bridge is shown on the key plan.
This project is being undertaken to replace the existing Veuve River Bridge, a single-lane
bridge originally installed in 1961, and to improve Highway 535 within the vicinity of the
bridge. The project has followed the approved environmental planning process for Group
‘B’ projects under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation
Facilities (2000) (Class EA). The main components of this project include:
• Constructionofanewtwo-lanebridge;
• Agraderaiseof2.1matthestructure;
• RealignmentofHighway535ontheapproachestothenewbridge;
• Removaloftheexistingbridge;
• Minor improvements to the highway south of the Ottawa Valley Railway crossing;
and
• Re-vegetationofdisturbedearthareas.
Access across the Veuve River will remain open at all times during construction of the
new bridge.
In 2007, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) was prepared to document
the Preliminary Design of the preferred alternative. During Detail Design, additional
property requirements were identified. As a result, a TESR Addendum has been
completed to document the additional property requirements. The TESR Addendum is
included as part of a Design and Construction Report (DCR), which documents the Detail
Design of the project.
The DCR/TESR Addendum is available for public review at the following locations:

If, after consulting with the Ministry’s consultant and staff, you have serious unresolved
concerns, you have the right to request that the Minister of the Environment (11th Floor
Ferguson Block, 77 Wellesley Street West, Toronto, ON M7A 2T5) make a Part II Order
request for this project. This may lead to the preparation of an individual Environmental
Assessment (EA). Since the Preliminary Design of this project has already been approved
under the requirements of the Class EA, opportunities for requesting a Part II Order
are only applicable to the changes documented in the Addendum to the TESR (i.e.
additional property requirements). A copy of a Part II Order request should be forwarded
to MTO and MRC at the addresses below. If there are no outstanding concerns after
November 8, 2012, the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the
Class EA.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Thinking outside of the box is what sets you apart from
most, Aries. When you are put to the test, you seldom
fail to come through. This is a good selling point with
potential employers.
Libra, big plans are in place, and you can be excited about the prospect for some change. Make a
few adjustments each day and the transition will go
smoothly.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Taurus, some people just don’t understand you, and that
is OK with you. It can be good to be a bit mysterious,
especially when it comes to romance.
Scorpio, don’t let others underestimate your abilities.
Once you set your mind to something, it is very hard
to direct you otherwise. Capitalize on your dedication
at work.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, communication is key if you want to make real
progress. Actions can be misconstrued if you don’t
accompany them with some thorough explanations.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Others could find your enthusiasm infectious this week,
Leo. Don’t be surprised if you have coworkers signing
up to be on your team. At home you’re much more
mellow.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, achieving your toughest goal won’t be easy.
Those who survive the challenges become stronger
overall. This week you are certainly put to the test.
THE PROJECT
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained MMM Group Limited to
undertake the Detail Design for improvements to Highway 17 between Sturgeon Falls
and Markstay. These improvements are being undertaken in two projects; East Section
and West Section. Separate notification was issued for the first project (East Section).
The second project area (West Section) is shown on the map below, and includes the
construction of a new westbound passing lane west of Highway 535.
This project is being undertaken to improve operational performance and road user safety.
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Analyzing spending and other financial concerns should
be at the top of your priority list, Gemini. It is always a
good idea to keep on top of where your money is going.
