HUNTSVILLE, ONT. —

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "On Friday, Aug. 8, a vehicle pulled into the Pow Wow parking lot and discharged six men, all dressed in what the locals would call "city clothes" - including dark slacks and leather-soled dress shoes.

Without bothering to check with the office, they went down to the beach and began taking photographs of each other, each time with Deerhurst - including the cupola that rides over the main building - in the background."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "These six English-speaking men appeared to be of Middle-Eastern origin. But what really set them apart was their complete unfamiliarity with a beach. It was not only their unlikely dress, but a sense that they were "faking" play in order to pose for photographs."

They asked to be taken out on the lodge's pontoon boat, which is usually used for the evening "Moonlight Cruise." Dara Howell, who happened to be at the waterfront, checked and was told if they paid for the gas she could. She was caught off guard when only one of the men boarded."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Unsure what to do, she continued on. The man asked that she encircle completely the point on which Deerhurst lies and, at each opening, take a photograph of him, with Deerhurst always in the background. "It was creepy," she says. "He wanted pictures from all the way around - and always two pictures. It was weird." At 5 p.m. it began to rain. By 5:30 the men had packed back into their vehicle and left, room and bed untouched."
