Ontario's failed Minaki Lodge lures yet another taker

Article Abstract:

Businessman John Newsome is taking a chance with plans for acquiring the failing Minaki Lodge in Ontario, Canada. The timberland resort opened in the 1920s and offered promise as a vacation spot with tennis courts and a nine-hole golf course. However, the resort has been acquired by the government in 1974 to avoid bankruptcy and save on government loans connected with Minaki's failing operations.
