News Tidbits:

• One lane is still closed in the Desolation Lake area (just north of Dubreuilville Corners). The burnt-out wreckage of the transport has yet to be removed. The transport caught on fire on May 27th in the early hours of the morning.
• Sad to hear that Jim Seals (Seals & Crofts) has died at the age of 80.
• Today in 1984, the very first Ghostbusters was released in movie theatres.
• If you are driving – be careful of the moose, especially at night. SE OPP have had two cruisers (one brand spanking new) hit moose between Wawa and Chapleau in the last month. The bugs are out in full force right now and the moose are seeking the breeze on the highway and highway right of way.
