Box 40 Terrace Bay, Ontario POT 2W0 TOPA? <a EV Continued from page 2 quite friendly with and own a cabin in common with, a Thunder Bay lawyer who boasts of his friendship with Premier Bob Rae, since they went to school together. The speculation in Rossport is that these connections are all too coincidental. Has the innkeeper and Barrett's family got good enough connections with Queen's Park to keep this tragedy from any more public scrutiny? The lines between speculation and fact become & RE! even more blurred, the deeper I try to penetrate this story. Perhaps, I ask myself, there is nothing really wrong here - only a widow's wish to let her husband die in peace, without any public controversy. But the Gunilda still sits in that 300 feet of icy water, waiting to claim her next victim. Outside of the Hollywood- like conspiracy theories surrounding Barrett's death, there is the issue of public safety. Coroner's inquests are intended, first and foremost, to make recommendations that Tenders are will prevent future similar deaths. I have a thick file of reports from earlier coroner's inquests that have been held into other diving fatalities on the Great Lakes, all containing practical recommendations. Yet no legislation or regulation seem to be forthcoming from this government, just as they were under the Liberals. Perhaps Barrett's death on the Gunilda can be the spark that catalyses some real change in Ontario's murky diving safety laws. As well, an inquest might lay to rest some rather spooky mysteries about alleged missing artifacts, and possible coverups. A widow's wish is important, but must take second place to important questions of public safety and public policy. Barrett's death must be. the subject of a coroner's inquest, before the Gunilda claims another victim.
