Scott Payne spent nearly two decades working undercover as a biker, a neo-Nazi, a drug dealer, and a killer. But his last big mission at the FBI was the wildest of all. Had to burn Bibles. I have never had to burn an American flag. And I damn sure was never with a group of people that stole a goat, sacrificed it at a pagan ritual, and drank its blood. And I did all that in about three days with these guys.
Listen to Agent Palehorse, the second season of White Hot Hate. Available now. This is a CBC Podcast. Came in from outside and looked at the phone lines, jammed with people wanting to play the mystery. mystery game, which is next here on Morning North. Our end of the week game show, our way to look back at the week that was and reward one of our listeners for tuning in. Here's how it works. We have five questions.
based on the stories that were on Morning North this week. And with each of those questions comes an audio clue. And if you need it, our technician, Roger Corville, will even give you a verbal clue. It's simple. For each correctly answered question, our listener wins a prize. That part is the mystery. Because the prizes are locked away in the CBC vault.
which we will open after each question to see what our listener wins or could have won. We do have a contestant standing by, so you're going to have to play along and see what you could have won this week on the Morning North Mystery Game. Our contestant this week is from Azilda here in Sudbury. It's Jacques. Good morning, Jacques. Good morning, Marcus. How are you doing? I'm doing great, thank you. That is good. Introduce yourself to our listeners, would you?
Well, I'm a longtime listener of CBC. I listen to both CBC Morning North and up north in the afternoon. I'm a loyal listener. I've been living in the Zelda for about 20 years. Before that, they used to live, born and raised in Chelmsford. So you made the big move to Azilda. Nine kilometers away. Well, at least you're closer to the downtown, right? That's exactly it. Yeah, and apart from that, was there a reason why you wanted to go to Azilda? Do you live on the lake?
No, we bought a piece of property. So like we've got about six acres and we're even close to town. So it's good for me as well because I'm also visually impaired. So it's good for me to walk to. that downtown in Azilda and with all the amenities there, it is good for me as well. All right. So tell me about your visual impairment. I lost part of my sight about 44 years ago. It's called Libres. optic atrophy, which I lost I would say about 90% of my central vision.
So I've got good peripheral vision, the best way to explain it, really. So it's like when you have something right in front of you, that's what you can't see. It's just to the sides that you have vision. Basically, that's mostly like I'm still able to, you know, basically walk around without, you know, cane or I'm still able to ride my bicycle and being careful.
And I also, you know, on my property, I'm able to ride my tractor, cut the grass. So I'm pretty independent, really. Right. Do they ever have, I don't know, a mishap because of your vision? Not necessarily. I've adapted well over the years. I'm still quite active. I still skate. I still play golf. So I'm a very, very active person. Now, golf would be tricky because even someone with good vision, it's easy to lose a ball.
I have great friends. The guys that I play with, they've been playing with me for, you know, like over 40 years. I'm still able to play men's night and still be able to hang out with the guys. My wife and I golf on couples nights. We're quite active. Well, maybe you're just that good that your ball always ends up in the cup and you don't have to look for it, right? I think so. You got that right on there. And so where do you golf? Forest Ridge in Chelmsford.
Plugged our golf course. I've been a member there since it opened 27 years ago. All right. Well, Jacques, I hope you're listening to the radio this week because we've got some prizes to give you if you have been. and he was telling Roger I may need some help at some point because, you know.
like sometimes you miss the few segments, but I'll give it my best shot. Well, Roger is here to help, but we do have those clips to play as well. We've got five questions, five categories. You can go in whatever order you would like. News, events, flipping the page, politics, youth, and music. Where do you want to start? I'll start in order. Oh, we'll go in the order, sure. We'll start with news.
The mayor of Sudbury, Paula Five, sent out an op-ed this past week about a grim problem the city is dealing with. On the one hand, it was to tell the community, this is the state of where we are. It is alarming. This is what we're doing. This is the resource that we're pointing towards that. And it's another kind of plea to the peds and the province saying we're not done and there is more help to be that we need to do. Now, in his op-ed, the mayor points out that...
$50 million is spent each year dealing with this issue. Despite it, it's the number one cause of death for men in Sudbury under the age of 49. What was the mayor talking about? That's it. Opioid crisis, number one problem that the city is dealing with these days. You are one for one. You've answered that question correctly, and that means you win a prize.
CBC t-shirt. All right, a t-shirt. Perfect, perfect. Put that on in the golf course and show off and tell people that you listen to CBC. Okay, four more questions. Events. is the next category. We talked about a couple of events coming up this weekend in Sault Ste. Marie. One of them...
involves people bringing in clothes, bicycles, or small appliances like table lamps. Bill Cole is one of the organizers. One item per person for this go-around and we'll see how it goes. Try to give as much exposure. and as many people as possible the chance to experience it and to learn and to be part of this movement. So what is this? movement all about why are people being asked to bring in either clothes or a bicycle or a small appliance? It's volunteers that do repairs for small appliances.
That is corrected. It's the Sault Ste. Marie's First Repair Cafe. It's happening tomorrow. 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion on Great Northern Road. You take your either clothes that need mending or bicycles or small appliances. They're just going to give their repair cafe a try tomorrow. Jacques, do you ever fix things up yourself or do you just chuck it out if it's broken? I do. You do? No, I always try to fix it before it's all set out.
Yeah, well, for me, too, in fact, my little workshop in the basement, I call The Repair Shop, based on the TV show. I don't know if you've ever watched that show on, I don't know, one of those hobby channels, but they take old things and they repair them, and I just like that show called The Repair Shop. Yeah, I've seen that before. Very good. Yeah. Very informative. All right. So you're perfect so far, Jacques. You've won a T-shirt and you've won this.
CBC button. A button to go on the T-shirt. Thank you. Politics is next. And this week, on our report from Queen's Park, I spoke to George Peary, who has a new job. He is the Minister of North... economic development and growth. This portfolio talks about agriculture, forestry, mining, manufacturing, tourism, the roads. But of course, the focus is on on on growth.
So, George Peary, MPP for Timmins, his job before becoming Northern Economic Development and Growth was what? What cabinet position did he used to hold? of minds and development. Mines was the answer, and that's what you said. So you are perfect for sure, Jacques. You've won the T-shirt, you've won the button, and you've won this. A CBC pen. A CBC pen.
Thank you. My last one might be running out of ink. All right. You've got a youth question next. It's about a 16-year-old in Sudbury who has a petition to change something. Sudbury. His name is Samuel Sweet. Well, I've always liked urban planning. I've always liked logistics. For me, the reason that I like transportation planning is because it affects everybody's lives.
So what does Samuel want to change? I'd like to get a hint from Roger, but I think... I'll take a hint. Okay, Roger, what hint... would you have for Jacques? Well, this is probably going to give it away, but in cities, there usually is a method for people to get around who don't have vehicles of their own. And that's all I'm going to say. You said a lot there, Roger. I believe it is public transit.
That was going to be your guess, wasn't it, Jock? That's what it was to be. Yes, for sure. Transit, the busing system. Sam wants to change the routes, add more hours. That's right. 50,000 hours. Exactly. All right. So you've won another. Let's open up the headphones. CBC mug. Nice. You got a mug to go with your pen and your button and your t-shirt. And you've got one more question. And it is a music question. On Tuesday, we played this.
A piece of music by Sudbury singer Angie Nussi to mark April the 22nd. Why did we play it on April 22nd? What is that day? I'm going to have to get a guess from Roger on that one. Roger, are you going to give it away, Roger? I suspect that. This clue will make it pretty obvious. It's a celebration of the planet. Oh, for gosh sakes, Roger. Well, there's not so many words, right? Okay. And I did hear this, and it's Earth Day.
Yeah, it is Earth Day. You are correct, or it was Earth Day. This is Earth Week, and I thought that was sort of the highlight of the program. That song by Angie Nessie was just perfect, suggested by Kathy Orlando with the Citizens Lobby for Climate Change. There you go. Jacques, perfect. Winning a t-shirt, a CBC button, a CBC pen, a CBC mug, and you've won... A CBC ball cap. A ball cap.
Perfect. I did wear my last ball cap when I was in Dominican, and people noticed my CBC hat, and it said CBC Sudbury on it. Oh, well, I think we've got new ball caps. I don't even know if they say Sudbury anymore. We'll have to check it out. But you can wear that out on the golf course this summer. What are you going to do this weekend? The golf courses aren't open yet.
Well, I think I'm going to start raking my front yard, trying to, you know, if today's going to rain, but it's supposed to be nice on Sunday, so planning to work around my yard. Excellent. All right. Well, Sunday, like you said, is going to be a beautiful day. Really appreciate you calling in this week and playing the mystery game. And thanks for tuning in as well, Jacques. You take care.
Thank you for the great radio show, and thank you, Roger, and thank you, Marcus. All right. Bye-bye now. Have a great day. Bye-bye. That's Jacques from Azildad. He's our winner this week on the Morning North Mystery Game. For more CBC podcasts, go to cbc.ca.
