Read Scene 1
-by Jake Doherty
Complications set in quickly. After several tries on a cell phone, one birder reached his wife at Lion's Head, midway up the Peninsula who, in turn, reached the Ontario Provincial Police detachment in Wiarton. The OPP quickly contacted officers checking snowmobile trails in the Cabot Head area and diverted them to the old cabin hidden in the evergreens and shore rocks circling Windfield Basin.
At first sight, nothing was obvious except that the victims looked as though they had been dead for some time. That removed any suspicion that Nellie or her birder friends could possibly be suspects or even, persons of interest. Early winter storms had wiped out any tracks left by the killer – or killers for that matter. Nor did the deceased still have their wallets with them.
Except that Capt. Adams, however, still had his military dog tags around his neck under a heavy turtleneck that the killer had ignored. Only one bag of clothing for two victims, just a satchel really with a small shaving kit, and only little leftover food, barely enough to sustain them for no more than two or three days.
The Hub is pleased to offer this, the last of a thought-provoking three-part series on education from the perspective of a current local teacher. Follow the links to Part One and Part Two.
With two months to go before school begins again, negotiations with teachers continuing, a new leader of the Opposition, and three years to go before both a school board and a provincial election, it may be the perfect opportunity to step back and give the education system some real consideration.

Let teachers, with input (questions) from their students decide what to teach.
I know some won't believe this, but good teachers are the only thing that is keeping the system going as it is. And they know their students better than anyone else in the system. So let teachers decide what to teach. Rather than relying on a curriculum that is fairly useless (you can find all the documents here,) at the start of the year give teachers time to sit down and decide what needs to be taught where and how. When teachers are engaged and interested in what they are teaching, everything else falls into place.

The year was 1965 and the struggle for Civil Right was heating up in the United States. Thousands, Black & White, gathered with Martin Luther King to participate in an event which would be marked as the turning point towards improvement, especially in Alabama. Their march from Selma to Montgomery drew national attention to the Civil Rights movement's efforts to secure Blacks' constitutional right to register for and participate in the election process. The ensuing outcry, that engulfed the entire country, shamed Lyndon Johnson and the US Federal Government into enacting legislation forcing George Wallace ( Alabama's governor ) to honor all voting rights. Present, during this historic event, was a 22 year old Canadian photographer named Lynn Ball. He returned with a series of provoking pictures which ...
