Joe Wellington, former police chief for Platte City, poses in Yellowknife, Canada with a copy of The Landmark. Wellington and his group spent two weeks in Yellowknife, which is 2,500 miles north and west from Platte City. The group spent the time fishing  for northern pike on Great Slave Lake, “one of the greatest pike lakes in North America.” Wellington said “it was a retirement trip and we killed them.” Yellowknife is the capital city of Canada’s Northwest Territories. It lies on the north shore of Great Slave Lake. Headed somewhere? Take a copy of The Landmark and snap a photo with the newspaper prominently displayed. Email your photo and information to ivan@plattecountylandmark.com.
