THE Municipality of Sioux Lookout, along with Ottawa-based

planning and urban design fi rm FoTenn, offered residents the chance to participate in a planning review session last week. On Monday, December 1, a community café took place in Hudson, followed by a Tuesday night meeting in Sioux Lookout.

A community’s offi cial plan outlines how land should be used. It covers residential and commercial spaces locations, what services such as roads and sewers are needed, how the community will expand, and any improvement initiatives. Once a plan is in place, it must

be followed by offi cials, and any new services and bylaws must comply. However, the plan can change or be amended to better suit the community’s needs.

In accordance with the federal government’s Planning Act, a community is to evaluate its offi cial plan every fi ve years. The Municipality of Sioux Lookout has not reviewed their plan since amalgamation with Hudson and Alcona in 1998. The municipality is also reviewing and updating the zoning bylaw, paying careful attention to Ontario’s recommendations for ensuring a stable northern economy, as well as the role of the Aboriginal population in the decisions.

DECEMBER 4. A day Maurice Chisel will never forget, because

on December 4 he saw his dream realized.

That dream was to create an environment in which young Aboriginal men struggling with addiction can go and change their lives for the better.

On December 4 dignitaries and community members gathered at the First Nations Teen Challenge building in Kejick Bay, Lac Seul, for the grand opening of the building and the program, which already

has its fi rst two students, with two more on the way in the New Year.

Teen Challenge is a non-profi t, interdenominational, faith-based program operating in 82 countries, with more than 1000 autonomous locations internationally.

Teen Challenge’s faith-based residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres are funded by donations and provide spiritual, academic and vocational training, equipping individuals to return to society as responsible citizens.

The program claims a 70 per cent success rate among graduates, meaning that 70 per

cent have never returned to drugs or alcohol.

Steve Paulson, Executive Director for Teen Challenge Central Canada, was one of the people in attendance for the grand opening.

He commented, “I don’t think that there is anything that we can be a part of that is more rewarding than to see young men come into a place where they are able to realize what their potential is and to begin to walk in a new relationship with God and to see their lives restored, to see their families come back together, and to see them build their life for the

“IT was a November for the ages. We’re not talking about

records being broken in the northwest and the north. We’re talking about records being decimated or shattered. Differences not only in where the temperature should have been that were signifi cant but even the difference between the new records set last

month and the previous records for the warmest November. In some cases it was a couple of degrees difference,” stated Environment Canada Meteorologist Geoff Coulson.

Both Sioux Lookout and Pickle Lake broke records for the warmest November ever.

Pickle Lake recorded a mean temperature for the month of November of zero degrees Celsius, beating the old record

mean record for November of minus 2.0 degrees Celsius set in 1981.

The November normal temperature for Pickle Lake has been minus 7.5 degrees Celsius.

Sioux Lookout recorded a mean temperature for the month of November of 1.2 degrees Celsius, beating the old record of 0.4 degrees Celsius set in 2001.

The November normal

temperature for Sioux Lookout is minus 5.6 degrees Celsius.

“In both Sioux Lookout and Pickle Lake in the numbers I looked at, snowfall amounts were much below where they should have been for the month of November,” Coulson added.

According to Coulson, there wasn’t any one major thing that contributed to the warm November, however he

stated, “We really didn’t see the coldest air which should start coming down from Nunavut, Hudsons Bay.”

Coulson stated, “We are fi nally starting to see the colder air masses coming down… with temperatures returning to more seasonal values. So normal daytime highs should be about minus nine and nighttime lows dropping down to about minus 17.”

Coulson concluded

by stating, “If folks are wondering what the rest of the winter will look like… It looks like a return to a more seasonal weather pattern, not only for December, but for the three month period of December, January, February, a number of models indicating temperatures around that normal mark on average for the time period and precipitation levels coming in where they should be.”

GET trained before you go snowmobiling.

That’s one of the key safety messages from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) and the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) for this winter. A snowmobile is not a toy, so every rider should take the time to learn the rules of the trail, how to

Riders urged to get trained to go snowmobilingride properly, and how to operate a sled.

Getting trained for snowmobiling is accessible and easy. The OFSC offers two courses approved by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO). OFSC Driver Training is a 6-hour classroom style course for snowmobilers aged 12 years and older offered at numerous locations across Ontario. Since inception 205,000 students have

successfully completed the course exam and received a Motorized Snow Vehicle Operator’s Licence.

For adults, the OFSC offers an interactive version of Driver Training called The Right Way. Snowmobilers with a valid driver’s licence can order the course DVD/CD and booklet online to learn to be a better rider or get safety trained for work. After taking this course and passing an

online test, riders receive a certifi cate confi rming course completion.

“The O.P.P. and the OFSC encourage all riders to get trained, and that includes reading the owner’s manual for your sled to understand its operating characteristics,” said O.P.P. Sergeant

Michael Price, Off Road Safety Highway Safety Division. “We also want to remind everyone that to ride a snowmobile legally in Ontario you must be 12 years or older with either a valid Driver’s Licence or a Motorized Snow Vehicle Operator’s Licence.”

To help more snowmobilers get trained, the OFSC also offers Smart Choices, a DVD/brochure package specially written for teenagers, while its Think Like A Pro booklet provides advanced riding tips and techniques for experienced snowmobilers. To register for or order a training course or other safety material, visit www.ofsc.on.ca > safety.

The OFSC is committed to proactive leadership in promoting safe, responsible riding, on and off Ontario snowmobile trails, by building

safer snowmobiling knowledge, attitudes and behaviours through rider education, safety legislation development and enforcement.

The O.P.P. are committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and waterways, through professionalism, leadership and visibility. Reducing preventable injury and death across Ontario is a responsibility the O.P.P. accept willingly and carry out professionally.

IT took its time getting here, but winter has now arrived in Sioux

Lookout and with the return of winter comes the return to winter driving practices.

“Stay alert, slow down, and stay in control are three key elements to winter driving,” stated Sioux Lookout OPP Community Services Offi cer Constable Mark Gaudet.

“If you leave your house to go somewhere, if you’re going to Dryden for the day and it’s nice when you leave, that doesn’t mean it will be nice when you get home. If weather conditions change the easiest thing you can do is reduce your speed,” agreed Sioux Lookout OPP Detachment Commander Staff Sergeant Nathan Schmidt.

Winter driving safety tips from the OPPWith the arrival of

winter, Gaudet suggests people ensure their vehicle is in proper working order.

He added that drivers should change their windshield fl uid and keep it topped up.

As well, people should make sure all their lights work.

Gaudet recommends people use winter tires and reminds people that studded tires are available as an option in this area.

Gaudet shared, “In the summertime you have a set time you get up in the morning and a set time you go to work. That’s going to change in the winter. Give yourself more time. You need time to scrape your windows. You need time to warm up your vehicle. You need time to drive slower to work. You can’t give yourself the same amount of time. Also it could be dark when you leave for work and dark when you

go home so keep that in mind as well.”

Gaudet continued, “Kids get excited when there’s snow. It’s not really cold yet. It’s not minus 40 so you’re going to see kids outside playing so you need to watch for them and pedestrians.”

Another thing Gaudet advises is having a winter driving survival kit in your vehicle.

Recommended items include ice scraper/snowbrush, shovel, sand or other traction aid, tow rope or chain, booster cables, road fl ares or warning lights, gas line antifreeze, fl ashlight and batteries, fi rst aid kit, fi re extinguisher, small tool kit, extra clothing and footwear, a blanket, non-perishable energy foods such as chocolate or granola bars, juice, soup, bottled water, a candle and a small tin can, matches.

If people are going any distance they are advised

to ensure they have proper warm clothing and footwear just in case of emergency.

Gaudet also advises people to plan their route ahead of time and let someone know where they’ll be going and when they’re due there and back.

Gaudet said if people know someone is overdue, give them extra time if driving conditions are bad. If too much time has gone by people should contact police.

Also be a good neighbour. Gaudet said if you’re sitting in your car and a pedestrian is trying to cross the street, let them.

Also be mindful that you could encounter black ice at any time.

If a driver has trouble with a vehicle and is not somewhere very close to help, they should stay in their vehicle.

Winter means snow plows and Gaudet reminds people they take up extra room on the road

so drivers should slow down.

Gaudet concluded by stating, “The best place to call (for winter driving conditions or road closure information) is the MTO. Don’t call here and ask what the road conditions are like. That’s not what we’re here for. What we’d like you to do is call 1-800-268-4686.

If you’re computer savvy go the MTO website which is www.mto.gov.on.ca.”

TrafficI’m surprised nobody’s been killed.A person can hardly ever drive along Front Street without seeing the door from a car parked at the curb being fl ung open into

the traffi c lane and a driver-in-a-hurry leaping out, also into the traffi c lane, totally oblivious to cars and trucks passing by only inches away.

The situation is a disaster ready to happen, especially now, in the winter, with snow clogging the parking spaces to force parked cars even closer to the traveled portion of the street.

Friends, the streets really are narrow, and slippery, and besides regular size cars, we also have large trucks going through downtown. Please take a look before you throw open your door and jump out into the street. The consequences could be far worse than a broken side mirror.

Potential to accomplish great things

My parents and grandparents called Sioux Lookout home. I was born and raised here and, after many years away, I’m back.

One of the things that compelled me to return at this time was the work of SLARC, particularly their involvement in hosting a community meeting with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission last spring.

That meeting gave me hope that people were willing to share their painful stories in public and that others were willing and able to hear them. It was obvious to me that this was the result of many years of developing and nurturing healthy cross-cultural relationships.

Experiencing that meeting, fi rst hand, encouraged me to think that the community is able to move from us/them thinking to believing we’re all in this together.

When I heard there was going to be a community meeting to discuss the urban reserve concept, I looked forward to it. Then others told me that the fi rst meeting on this topic had become quite unruly and many people were hurt.

As the day of the recent community discussion approached, I prayed that the participants would be able to put aside their personal biases long enough to really hear one another.

The process was intentional, respectful, and managed well in a relatively safe environment. In my group some spoke from knowledge, some from ignorance, yet all opinions were acknowledged, heard, and appreciated.

The urban reserve concept is very emotionally charged. As I see it, this stems primarily from a fear of the unknown. This fear may be alleviated by knowledge. True learning is not passive. It includes educating oneself from various perspectives, not just those that support one’s personal views.

Everyone agrees that, at the moment, there are more questions

than answers. The Municipality is attempting to be as transparent as possible. The Sioux Lookout District Chiefs have approached the Municipality about this issue and they deserve a well thought out response.

The proposed feasibility study would also include other options and there are plans for more community consultations. After all, this recent meeting was attended by only a small portion of residents. There is truly a desire for all voices to be heard.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak up and speak out. I’m proud to be living in Sioux Lookout, once again a community that has potential to accomplish great things.

The Community Consultation on Urban Reserves

S o m e t i m e s conversations can be diffi cult to have. After the fi rst community presentation regarding the possibility of establishing an urban reserve in Sioux Lookout, the evening progressed into a very diffi cult conversation. For this reason, the Municipality decided to take another route. The second conversation would be facilitated by those experienced in confl ict mediation and the strategy would be a community consultation. The purpose of this approach was to provide a place where all would have the opportunity to speak, to listen and to be heard. The result was the Community Consultation on Urban Reserves on the evening of November 18 at the Legion Hall.

The Sioux Lookout Anti-Racism Committee does not advocate nor reject the proposal of an urban reserve in our community. SLARC’s mandate states the following: “In an effort to promote the health of the community, we facilitate change through cooperation, education, personal example and

timely input, focusing on systemic issues using an organized strategic approach.” A community consultation is an example of such an approach.

H i s t o r i c a l l y , community consultations have been used to bring together citizens and government to discuss the development of policy affecting the community. Consultation is a central principle in sound community planning and decision-making. It allows local government, developers, community members and administrators to make informed decisions about planning issues that affect the community. The goal of such consultations is to link government action with citizen action to progress community and government goals.

The Community Consultation on Urban Reserves was organized to begin such a process. It was not intended to be a forum where information would be dictated to community members, followed with a yes or no vote. It was the fi rst step in a long conversation to decide collectively if an urban reserve is an option for this community.

As part of its mandate, SLARC has developed REsolve, a confl ict mediation service that offers services to organizations, groups and individuals. SLARC was asked to provide volunteer facilitators for the evening of November 18 from a group of professionally trained mediators. In addition to thanking those volunteers, we also want to acknowledge all the people who took the time to attend the Community Consultation on Urban Reserves. It was encouraging to see the diverse group that gathered to contemplate change for our community. It was even more encouraging to see and hear people sitting collectively and having a potentially diffi cult conversation, while remaining respectful of one another. That alone is something to applaud.

Let’s continue the

dialogue. R e s p e c t f u l l y

behalf of The Sioux Lookout Anti-Racism Committee

What is an urban reserve?

Most of us are having a hard time understanding just what an urban reserve is all about. I have been researching this topic and I came across this:

An urban reserve is commercial land purchased by a native band. The land is then designated as part of their reserve, regardless of where the land is located.

Once urban reserve status is achieved the property is subject to all provisions and protection of the Indian act, such as freedom from taxes.

Two problems.Unfair competition: The

bands will negotiate an agreement with the town to pay fees for services such as sidewalks, road maintenance, etc. in lieu of regular property taxes. But if for some reason the band refuses to pay, the town has no recourse under the Indian Act since reserve land is protected from lien and or seizure.

Native Canadians working on reserve land do not pay taxes. Businesses there can pay lower wages without workers losing any take home pay. Native owned business do not pay taxes for goods and supplies delivered to reserve land

This is a clear and unfair advantage over existing businesses.

Obviously the tax breaks will help native owned businesses on the reserve but we all realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone has to pay the bill.

Second problem: Once designated as urban reserve land it cannot be disposed of without majority band vote. It can only be transferred to the federal government. This could be tough for a band investing in the fl uid urban land market.

It is important that native Canadians enter the mainstream of

Canada’s economy, but everyone must be on an equal footing. Unfair advantages, such as tax breaks, disrupt the system by off loading the tax burden to other citizens and businesses.

Banning plastic bagsDear Mayor Poling and

Council,We are writing this

letter to congratulate you on your decision to ban plastic bags in Sioux Lookout. One of the reasons we are thrilled is that plastic bags have a lasting effect on the environment. For example, if a person throws away a plastic bag, that bag will be around longer than the person that threw it.

We encourage you to continue and make the law about plastic bags soon.

Sincerely, St. Andrews United

Where are Front Street decorations?

In response to the December 2 article “It’s time to start decorating for Christmas” I’d like to ask the Community Revitalization Committee when they are going to get into the community spirit and do their part decorating our Front Street?

Perhaps there should be a category for the least decorated town in Northern Ontario. If not for the efforts of the residents in this town decorating their homes, a few businesses and the huge efforts of the residents putting on a fantastic Sana Claus Parade, our town (Front Street) would not suggest that Christmas is only a few weeks away.

So judges, when you’re out and about judging the efforts of many people, take a drive down our main street and ask yourselves, have you done your part for the people of Sioux Lookout?

It’s not too late. Norma Sitar

I HAVE to say that being from the north myself I’m extremely thrilled and delighted today to formally announce that the beautiful Municipality of Sioux

Lookout will be the host for Community Living Ontario’s annual conference and annual general meeting in 2006.

HUNDREDS packed Sacred Heart Church on Sunday for the annual Festival of Carols concert. The Sioux Lookout Community Choir performed the

Canticle of Christmas, a series of songs and readings from the bible.

ON Nov. 17 the Northwestern Health Unit set it’s budget for 2005 with the result being that municipalities will see their municipal levy to the

health unit rise by 4.06 per cent.

Angler fi ned $1500 for obstructing conservation offi cers and littering

A Thunder Bay man pleaded guilty to charges of obstructing conservation offi cers and for littering.

Gary Letourneau was convicted under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and fi ned $1000 for obstructing Ministry of Natural Resources

conservation offi cers. He was also convicted under the Public Lands Act and fi ned $500 for littering on Crown land.

Court heard that on July 25 conservation offi cers contacted Letourneau. When offi cers attempted to conduct a routine fi sheries inspection, Letourneau made statements in an attempt to obstruct the offi cers and was subsequently arrested. Offi cers

also discovered that Letourneau left his campsite littered with beer cans and other garbage.

The ministry reminds the public that it is illegal to deposit any material on Crown land or land fi ll sites without authority.

Anglers fi ned after canine unit uncovers hidden fi sh

A party of seven anglers paid a total of $1170 in fi nes related to possessing an over-limit of walleye and skinning fi sh so that they could not be easily identifi ed.

Six Wisconsin residents were fi ned $175 each for taking an

over-limit of fi sh, and a Thunder Bay resident was also fi ned $120 for skinning fi sh so that the species and number could not be readily identifi ed or counted.

While on routine patrol on October 9 the Ministry of Natural Resources canine unit uncovered a stash of walleye in coolers hidden behind a temporary camp. When contacted by a conservation offi cer the group did not declare the hidden fi llets. The six non-residents possessed a total of 17 walleye, fi ve over their collective limit. The illegal fi sh were seized and forfeited to the Crown.

The ministry reminds

the public that it is illegal to stockpile quantities of fi sh. An individual may not possess more fi sh than the possession limit of that species. You are considered to possess fi sh if you are storing them at home, in freezers, on stringers, or at other locations, or eating them as part of a day’s meal.

Deer hunters can help chronic wasting disease surveillance program

Deer hunters can help the Ministry of Natural Resources monitor for the presence of a fatal brain disease that affects deer as well as elk, moose and potentially

woodland caribou.During the current

fi rearm hunting season the ministry is monitoring harvested deer in Northwestern Ontario for the presence of Chronic Wasting Disease.

Ministry wildlife research technician crews have been canvassing hunters in the fi eld to collect tissue samples from harvested deer. Technicians remove a small amount of tissue from the head of the deer and then return the deer to the hunter.

The ministry is working to gather as many samples as possible. Hunters who

future.”He added, “Being

in Winnipeg we’ve seen lots of guys come in from some of the northern communities in the past and sometimes you do real good and sometimes guys come in from communities that are real remote and they come into Winnipeg and they’re like a fi sh out of the water. Maurice and I have been friends for years and we thought, boy, if only we had a place where the guys from those communities could come and experience the same things as Winnipeg but be in essentially their same sort of culture. For a lot of these guys their community, that’s where their family is, that’s where their support is, so if we can teach them the same stuff in a different environment I think we’re going to have a lot more successful students going through.”

Band Councillor Karen Ningewance was in attendance for the grand opening and stated, “I am privileged to be part of this event as we open a door and a pathway to healing, reconciliation and to future prosperity for youth that are suffering today. This new facility will provide

an opportunity for youth to experience growth, success and leadership. It is one step in a stairway that is required in our communities to address the social issues that plague our First Nation populations.”

Twenty-six-year-old Ryan Spence, one of the fi rst two students in the First Nations Teen Challenge program explained why he decided to take part in the program. “Well the reason why I became part of the program is that I have three daughters and I was doing a lot of bad things and hurting a lot of people… I’d take things from people, do drugs, get high, then I started thinking I can’t stand to have my kids look up to me as that sort of person. I wasn’t raised that way so why should they see me being that type of

person. I heard about this program years ago and so I joined. It’s been great. I got to met God. It’s just really lifted my spirit up to come in here. It’s giving me hope. It’s giving me a lot of strength. I asked for God’s blessing and he’s rained it upon me. I love it.”

The common room where the bedrooms are located for the students was named after a young man who said he’d be the fi rst student in the door when the program opened, but didn’t live long enough to follow through on that promise.

The common room bears the name Matthew’s Room, in honour of that young man, Matthew Quedent of Kejick Bay.

Maurice Chisel, First Nations Teen Challenge Executive Director, stated, “What makes Teen Challenge successful is

not the program, but that God is in the program that makes it successful.”

He said the idea for First Nations Teen Challenge arose seven years ago.

At the time, he and his wife were conducting workshops for Teen Challenge.

First Nations people told them the program just didn’t feel like home. It felt instead more like residential school or jail.

Right then and there Chisel said he decided there was a need for a Teen Challenge program geared specifi cally to young Aboriginal men and it was important to

make the program feel as much like home as possible for those young men.

“We thought because it’s an Aboriginal program for Aboriginal men we wanted to put it in an Aboriginal community where some of these guys when they come in, would see similar surroundings to what they would have at home. So here we are,” Chisel said.

The Lac Seul band gave Chisel and his wife an old school building to use for the program.

The process of rebuilding and renovating that building took about a year and a half.

Chisel said that throughout the project there’s been great community support from Teen Challenge, Lac Seul and Sioux Lookout.

The program can handle up to six students at a time. One bed is always earmarked for Lac Seul band members.

First Nations Teen Challenge is a 12 month program, with the last six months of the program

taking place in Winnipeg.Students have class

time, counselling and outdoor activities such as fi shing, wood cutting and helping out in the community.

Chisel said the age range for the program is 18 to 25, however they can accept older students as well.

First Nations Teen Challenge is unique within the Teen Challenge family. “It’s the fi rst one that’s ever been developed for Aboriginal men and it’s the fi rst one ever to sit on Aboriginal land,” Chisel said.

The target areas for applicants are the northern First Nation communities.

Chisel commented on the grand opening, “It’s been a very emotional experience because I’m actually seeing a dream become a reality.”

He added, “I’m very humbled that there are so many people that believe in this vision, this dream.”

Traffi cking chargeOn November 28

Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service offi cers from Nibinamik Detachment were investigating a complaint at a residence

located in Nibinamik First Nation (Summer Beaver). During the arrest of an intoxicated male, police found that he was in the possession of a controlled substance and a large

amount of cash.Police seized a street

value of approximately $1440 worth of Percocet and OxyContin prescription pills along with $1190 in cash.

An 18-year-old Nibinamik First Nation man was charged with possession for the purpose of traffi cking, breach of undertaking and obstructing a peace offi cer

Drugs seized at Sandy Lake Airport

On December 2 Band Constables for the First Nation Territory of Sandy Lake alerted Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service offi cers about a suspicious envelope at the Sandy Lake First Nation Airport.

Police investigation revealed that the envelope contained several controlled substances that

totalled a street value of approximately $20,560. The substances seized by police included OxyContin and Percocet prescription drugs and Cocaine.

A 42-year-old Sandy Lake First Nation man is charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of traffi cking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

were held to encourage residents to participate in how the area will be shaped in the future.

“It’s really the local community that has to decide what’s important,” said Pamela Sweet, a consultant with FoTenn.

After a brief introduction, participants split into smaller groups for facilitated discussions. The topics covered were parks, culture, recreation and social; natural environment and natural resources; housing, land use and built form; and economic development, transportation and infrastructure.

In Hudson many of the participants focused on land use. Issues arising included a lack of available land lots,

MNR land management, the use of lakeshore property, zoning issues, and the unequal growth of Sioux Lookout and Hudson. Residents also concentrated on natural issues, bringing up problems with wild animal control, safe walking trails, and green space development.

Sioux Lookout’s café saw similar results, with a concentration on updated and affordable housing, including zoning for accessory apartments to attract a young professional population.

Specifi c locations in town were suggested for development, such as the old water tower area, and residents suggested both a new arena, and enhancing the existing museum.

Infrastructure was

touched on as well, with complaints lodged against the lack of sidewalks on some streets, and the age of the existing sewer system.

The FoTenn consultants also met with the MNR, representatives of Lac

Seul First Nation, and conducted an educational exercise with Grade 8 students from Sioux Mountain Public School. As part of their geography curriculum, the students offered up their own ideas for the future of Sioux

Lookout.“The kids were a blast,”

Sweet enthused.The proposed timeline

for the project spans the period from its initiation in September 2009 to further discussions happening in February 2010, with hopes

for a fi nalized offi cial plan in June and a fi nalized zoning bylaw in July.

Residents are encouraged to keep track of progress on the review through the municipal website www.siouxlookout.ca.

Participants in Sioux Lookout’s community planning event held last week took part in facilitated group discussions. Information received from the event will help the Municipality rework the official plan and zoning bylaws.

were not contacted in the fi eld are asked to take the heads of yearling or older deer to one of the ministry freezer depots in Thunder Bay, Atikokan or Ignace as soon as possible – preferably within a few days of being harvested.

The disease has never been found in wild deer or moose in Ontario and

there is no evidence that it can be transmitted to humans or domestic livestock. It has been detected in deer in Alberta, Saskatchewan and several U.S. states and in wild moose in Colorado and Wyoming.

Surveillance for Chronic Wasting Disease in Ontario deer began in 2003. All dead elk recovered from the wild are also tested.

Testing takes place at the Animal Health Laboratory at the University of Guelph,

where brain and lymph node tissue from recently deceased animals are examined. The disease is similar to bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle, also known as BSE or mad cow disease, and appears to be caused by an abnormal protein called a prion, not a virus or bacteria. Prions are concentrated in the animal’s brain, spinal cord, lymph glands, tonsils, eyes and spleen.

As a precaution, the Canadian Food

Inspection Agency and World Health Organization advise people not to consume animals known to be infected or that appear sick. For hunters who wish to wait for the test result before eating their venison, the results will begin to be posted on the ministry’s website in December.

Government efforts are guided by the Ontario Chronic Wasting

Disease Surveillance and Response Plan, developed by the Ministries of Natural Resources, Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and Health and Long-Term Care, together with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

The plan identifies the risks to wild and captive members of the deer family associated with Chronic Wasting Disease and

provides for multi-agency coordination in prevention, surveillance, control and eradication, recovery and communications.

To report a natural resource violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

THE 2009 National Day of R e m e m b r a n c e

and Action on Violence against Women held at the Nishnawbe-Gamik Friendship Centre in Sioux Lookout served as a local way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 1989 murders of 14 female students attending l’École Polytechnique de Montréal.

First Step Women’s Shelter services manager Carmelia Agustin began the ceremony by drawing attention to the hundreds

of t-shirt cutouts covering the walls of the large meeting room, each shirt with a name printed on it. Agustin said the shirts represented victims of domestic violence in Canada since 1995.

“Let them serve as a bleak reminder of these women and children,” she said.

Agustin also refl ected on the events of December 6, 1989, reminding the audience that the 14 female students were singled out solely because of their gender.

Following Agustin’s introduction Susan Barclay offered an opening prayer, recalling her own reaction

to the horror in Montréal 20 years prior.

“I was scared,” she remembered, “more so for my daughter than for myself.”

After Barclay’s prayer, event organizers conducted a candle and rose ceremony, reading off the 14 victims’ names while lighting a candle for each woman. The 14 fl ames stayed alight throughout the rest of the observance, giving a reminder of the purpose of the day.

QEDHS student Rebecca Crane fi lled the room with music at several points throughout the program, strumming her guitar while

CHRISTMAS is a time of joy for many, but a diffi -

cult time of year for those grieving the loss of loved ones.

In order to help make the holidays a little easier for those with loved ones who’ve passed away, St. Andrew’s United Church, St. Mary’s Anglican Church and Sacred Heart Catholic Church will

again be conducting an Ice Candle Memorial Service during the evening of Tuesday, December 22.

The service will be broken up into three parts, beginning at St. Andrew’s at 6:30 p.m.

The service will then continue at St. Mary’s at 6:45 p.m. and will conclude at Sacred Heart at 7:15 p.m.

At each church prayers, a reading, carols and the reading of names of the departed will be featured.

Participants will be

invited to light candles in memory of deceased loved ones.

Everyone is asked to take a small, wind-proof portable candle or light for the outdoor procession

Ice Candle Memorial Service set for December 22

from church to church.Candles will be lit at

the gravesites and can be visited after the ceremony.

Refreshments will follow in the Sacred Heart Church hall.

Participants are invited to make their ice candles and place them in front of the churches or at the cemetery where a platform will be provided.

For $10 people can purchase ice candles by

placing an order at Sioux Travel or Bloomin’ Wild Flowers.

These candles will be placed and lit December 20.

Proceeds will be donated to QEDHS Safe Grad.

Representatives from First Step Women’s Shelter lit candles in honour of the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women December 6. Fourteen candles were lit to commemorate the 14 women killed 20 years ago at L’ecole Polytechnique in Montreal.

IN a colour-splashed classroom lined with inspirational posters

and a big blackboard, two students sit at long tables, taking in a math lesson. It’s not a usual high school class with low attendance—these students are part of the New Roads program at Queen Elizabeth District High School, and if it weren’t for this curriculum, they might not be in school at all.

Trudy Wiebe has been at the helm of New Roads for the past eight out of nine years the program has run. With the help of Stephanie Agustin, she teaches and supports students from 12 to 16 years old who run the risk of failure in the regular school system.

“It’s sort of a fi fty-fi fty

split; half academic, half social skills building,” Wiebe explained.

A student enters the program as a visitor, to ensure that New Roads is an appropriate learning path. If the program seems to be a good fi t, a committee determines if the student will be taken on formally.

At fi rst glance New Roads appears to progress like a typical school day, split into periods for different subjects, with time off for breaks and lunch. Students have a gym period which takes place at the recreation centre in town.

Wiebe said the students have a lot more freedom than their traditionally schooled counterparts do.

“We can always take a break in a lesson, maybe go out and get some coffee if it just isn’t going right.

We really try to get a feel for where the students’ interests lay, and nurture that. We want to cultivate their desire to help themselves.”

Agustin’s role as a counselor to the students is an important part of this process. While Wiebe handles the academics, she said Agustin “provides awesome lessons and life skills.”

New Roads students on the path to success

“I cover everything from healthy living to drugs to careers,” explained Agustin.

Without the help of the community, however, it would be diffi cult to run New Roads.

Wiebe explained that the program has a smaller budget than the rest of the school. She said, “To give the students more benefi ts, we fundraise.”

At different businesses throughout Sioux Lookout, New Roads sells chocolates, with the proceeds funding resources for the classroom, such as audio-visual equipment, and outings for the students.

Wiebe said the program is truly vital to at-risk youth.

“This is a very necessary

program in this area. It’s a very transitional town, and sometimes even just a move to a new place can be what it takes to put a student in the program.”

A lot of the students from QEDHS come in and say, ‘I want to learn here!’ It’s very laid back,” she laughed. “It just gives the students a space to get tender, loving care.”


New Roads students are surrounded by colour, from the student-made artwork to the walls themselves.

Both former and current students have displayed their creativity on the walls. This artwork was created by Jade Meikle and Lydia Trout.

THE Province of Ontario has rec-ognized six young

writers, one from this area.

On November 30, 15-year-old Mavis Oskineegish of Wunnumin Lake was recognized with the James Bartleman Aboriginal Youth Creative Writing Award.

The award gives Aboriginal youth an op-portunity to showcase their creative writing abilities.

“These stories and po-ems from these young writers are wonderfully creative. I am delighted to celebrate their accomplish-

ments,” stated Ontario Lieutenant Governor

David C. Onley.“The written word can

allow you to travel to dis-tant places and experience new worlds. I am proud that these recipients are accomplished storytell-ers and writers at a young age,” added Bartleman.

“More than 300 young Aboriginal writers submit-ted stories and poems to this competition and this is a wonderful refl ection on the popularity of this award. I hope that young Aboriginal writers will continue to create and ex-press themselves,” con-cluded Ontario Minister of Aboriginal Affairs Brad Duguid.

Enabling the addict --- good intention but bad outcome

Either we are sympa-thetic to those who have an addiction to drugs and alcohol, or we have no compassion whatsoever. For those who are sym-pathetic and who see an addict suffering in need, a natural response is to try to help. The caution is, although unintentional, that helping in the wrong way can, in fact, enable an addict to continue us-ing. Good intention but bad outcome!

With respect to ad-dicts on the street and our homeless population

who are not ready to ad-dress their addiction, one way that good intention turns into bad outcome is through handing out money. A person with an addiction might say they need money to purchase a basic need (i.e. food) and in some cases this may happen, but in many more cases the money is in-stead used to obtain their drug of choice. Money supports their habit.

It is important to re-member that when some-one has an addiction, their priorities shift. As they become increas-ingly more dependent on a substance they will do anything necessary to

get their drug of choice, meaning they might not tell you that they want money to get a fi x. Rather than give money (if you really want to help some-one), think about donat-ing to the Out of the Cold Shelter in the form of jackets, mitts, hats and/or some healthy food items.

So keep in mind that a person with an addiction is less likely to seek help if they can still maintain their lifestyle, therefore by offering monetary support the addict can continue on a path of self-destruction.

Other examples of en-abling a person with an addiction include bailing them out of jail, ignoring or defending their be-haviour, lying for them, and doing things that they should be doing for themselves, taking away responsibility.

Someone with an ad-diction who is not enabled might hit bottom faster, thereby maybe reaching out for help to change to-ward a path of recovery. Therefore, evaluate what you are doing and make sure you are helping the addict and not helping the addiction. Connect the person to professional counselling, to our lo-cal 12-Step groups, or to someone who can as-sist them with accessing treatment.

Enabling behaviours often delay a decision to seek help. If there is help living a life of addiction, why should anyone make an effort to change?

“I’M a woman. I write about what I know.”

Hip-hop artist Eternia said this to an energized crowd of young women at Sioux Mountain Public School November 20.

The group, consisting of students from Sioux Mountain, Sacred Heart, and Queen Elizabeth District High School, was there to see Because I Am a Girl, a multimedia presentation aimed at young females.

The 411 Initiative for Change and Plan Canada sponsor the show. 411 tries to connect young people about social issues within

their communities and world. The organization uses arts and culture as tools to reach their young audiences. Plan Canada, formerly known as Foster Parents Plan, has a similar mandate, supporting social justice for children in developing countries.

The performance, set up in a talk-show style, focused on the plight of young women in both a foreign country and here in Canada. Educational interviews and videos were interspersed with high-energy performances from both Eternia and fellow female hip-hop artist Masia One.

Eternia created a buzz last year with the release of her t-shirt design My Favourite Rapper Wears

a Skirt.When asked why

people should be concerned with global women’s rights, she replied, “We’re all global citizens. We should care.”

Studies have shown that investing in the well-

Girl power comes to Sioux Lookout

being of girls is key to a country’s development. Empowering females allows for the cycle of poverty to be broken. For each year that a girl stays in school, her income will rise by 10 to 20 per cent.

Asked about her

impression of Sioux Lookout, Eternia compared her recent experiences in Los Angeles, saying, “When I come here and I see real faces of real women, that’s a lot more inspiring.”

At the end of the

hour-long event, school organizer Jenny Wesley led the girls in the rousing cheer, “Because I am a girl, I can change the world!”

More information on the campaign can be found at www.becauseiamagirl.ca.

Bulletin Photo/Shayla CybulskiJournalist Nana Aba Duncan jumped into the crowd at Sioux Mountain Public School during the Because I am a Girl presentation, asking the assembled female students questions about their own personal experiences as girls.

Ministry ofNatural Resources

Man nabbed for over-limit of Walleye

A Minnesota angler has been fined $3025 for possessing more than his limit of wall-eye.

James Merton Neilson, of Andover, Minnesota, was con-victed of possessing 11 walleye over his legal possession limit of four and fined $275 for each over-limit fish.

Court heard that on September 6 Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers contacted Neilson at the dock of a remote resort during a marine fish-eries patrol. Although Neilson was found to have his limit of wall-eye in his boat, officers later determined that he also had more walleye stored in his cabin and the resort’s freezer.

The ministry reminds the public that it is il-legal to stockpile large quantities of fish. An individual may not have more fish than the possession limit of that species. Possession is considered to include storing fish at home, at other locations, in freezers, holding them in live wells or even having eaten them as part of a day’s meal.

$1000 fine for shoot-ing moose on closed road

A Thunder Bay man must pay $1000 for trespassing to hunt on a closed road.

John R. Spack was charged under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and fined $1000 for tres-passing for the purpose of hunting on a closed road. The moose was forfeited to the Crown. His firearm was also seized and will be re-turned once the fine is paid.

Court heard that on September 22 Spack drove his truck behind a posted road closure sign and camped there until he shot a bull moose two days later. Spack then went to look for help to load the moose into his truck. After two parties refused to assist him and advised him that he had illegally trespassed, he turned himself in to the Ontario Provincial Police.

A Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officer was then alert-ed.

Fined for failure to report acquisition of wildlife part

A Dryden resident has been fined $250 for failing to report the ac-quisition of a carcass and $500 for making a false statement to a con-servation officer.

On October 20 Lee-

Anne Corbin pleaded guilty to failing to re-port the acquisition of moose and deer antlers and other wildlife parts, and making a false statement to a conserva-tion officer.

Court heard that in February, 2009 con-servation officers ex-ecuted a search warrant at Corbin’s residence. Officers seized approxi-mately 100 animal parts including moose racks, deer racks, bear and wolf skulls, moose and deer bones, and turtle shells. Corbin claimed to have found most of the wildlife parts, pur-chased some and re-ceived some as gifts. Corbin did not have the necessary paper work for any of the seized items.

Seized items will be reviewed with Corbin to determine which items she has authority to retain. The remain-der will be permanently forfeited to the Crown.

Individuals are re-quired to report the ac-quisition of most wild-life species collected, other than those legally hunted or trapped, to a Ministry of Natural Resources office where a Certificate of

Reporting Game or oth-er authorization may be issued.

Unlawful importa-tion proves costly for commercial baitfish operator

A Kenora area resi-dent has been fined $2000 for baitfish vio-lations.

Jerry Wiebe, of Keewatin, Ontario, was fined for importing live baitfish from Manitoba into Ontario and mak-ing a false statement in a document.

Court heard that in 2008 Wiebe admitted to importing live baitfish

that were trapped on a commercial baitfishing licence in Manitoba. The minnows were then used to supply his com-mercial baitfish busi-ness in Ontario. Court also heard that Wiebe provided false infor-mation in his baitfish harvest report, a docu-ment he was required to submit to the Ministry of Natural Resources as a licensed commercial bait harvester.

The ministry would like to remind the public that importing live bait-fish and other aquatic organisms into Ontario poses a significant risk

to aquatic ecosystems and valuable fisheries. Imported baitfish and the unseen organisms contained in water used to transport fish can re-sult in the introduction of non-native species to Ontario’s lakes.

To report a natural resource violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

IT can be diffi cult to fi nd a Christmas present for the person

who has everything. This year, rather than the usual necktie or gift certifi cate, one Sioux Lookout resi-dent is giving the gift of hope.

“Nowadays, it’s quite difficult to buy Christmas presents for people. If some-one wants something, they’ll just go out and get it,” explained Knowles McGill.

For the past three years McGill and his wife have been pur-chasing gifts for their

World Vision Canada offers gifts that give back children and grandchil-dren from the World Vision gift catalogue. The catalogue offers charitable, meaningful donations that are pur-chased in honour of a chosen recipient. There are more than 100 gift options in the cata-logue, ranging from a backpack with school supplies for a child, at $25, to big-ticket items like materials to build entire schools. Alternatively, items that are more expen-sive can be purchased in shares.

“For $50, you can buy a pig for your grandchil-

dren,” McGill said. What struck McGill

about the World Vision program was its sus-tainable method of charity. For instance, rather than simply buy-ing one meal for an impoverished family, they receive livestock, to reproduce and pro-vide a constant source of nutrition. Recipients of animal gifts also re-ceive nutritional and animal care training, a shelter for the animal, and veterinary services such as vaccinations.

“They’re advertis-ing a productive way to give,” said McGill of

the catalogue. “It’s kind of like if

you give a hungry per-son a fish they eat for a day; if you teach them how to fish, they’re good for life.”

McGill said that while people sometimes make jokes, those who have received a World Vision donation in their name are generally hap-py with the gift.

“[My grandchildren] though it was pretty neat. One more toy at Christmas… they pile up in the corner, and the kids only play with them for a week.”

World Vision recom-

mends adding a person-al touch to the alterna-tive gift, like a poem or small trinket. The orga-nization provides three options for a card for the gift recipient—a color card delivered by mail, a card to be downloaded and printed at home, or an emailed card. The card describes the gift, and how it will benefit a person, family, or com-munity in a developing nation.

Ultimately, McGill’s goal is to promote self-less giving. He said of his grandchildren, “I hope it teaches them charity and concern for

the welfare of others. That’s kind of in the back of my mind.”

He is not alone in his ambition. Last year in Sioux Lookout, more than 13 residents pur-chased $1330 worth of items from World Vision. Across Ontario, donors have raised more than $7 million through the catalogue.

“I just think it’s a wonderful idea,” said McGill.

“I would strongly rec-ommend it to anyone.”

Preventing kids from using drugs and alco-hol

Parents can have the greatest infl uence on

their kids. They can do a lot to keep them safe from taking part in risky behaviours, but need to take action when it comes to prevention.

Everyone, not just parents, should learn as much as they can about drugs and alcohol. Having all the facts is important when talking to your kids, especially if you suspect they are involved in other risky behaviours.

By talking to kids when they are very young, parents can ex-

plain the dangers of us-ing drugs and alcohol. Then, when kids get older and are faced with peer pressure or are in a situation where drugs and alcohol are present, they will have family values, knowledge and the skills to avoid using.

There are other things parents can do to prevent their kids from taking

part in risky behaviours: • Start by setting

limits, clear rules and consequences for break-ing them.

• Know where and what your kids are doing and who they are with.

• Get to know their friends and their parents.

• Be involved in your kids’ lives.

• Praise and re-ward good behavior.

• Be a positive role model.

• Tell your kids that you love them and don’t want to see them get hurt.

Remember, strength-ening the bond be-tween parents and their kids can decrease the chances of using al-cohol and drugs. For more information con-tact the Committee for the Prevention of Substance Abuse: Ray 737-4506 ext 22, Mark 737-2020, Cindy 737-1438, Joanne 737-2292 ext 24.

WITH the fi rst week of D e c e m b e r

behind us already and Christmas drawing ever closer, many people are

Holiday shopping safety tips from the OPPlikely still out looking for that perfect holiday gift.

To help people stay safe while they’re shopping, the Sioux Lookout OPP have passed along a few holiday shopping safety tips.

Community Services Offi cer Constable Mark Gaudet advises people to

carry a minimum of cash and to park in well lit ar-eas.

He advises people to hide their PIN when using a debit card.

“Do not put your purse in a shopping cart, and keep your purse close to your body and zipped closed at

all times. Never leave your purse unattended.”

When walking to your vehicle keep a hold of your purse. Be sure to walk di-rectly to your vehicle with your keys in hand so you are able to unlock your ve-hicle quickly.

When at your vehicle,

Gaudet said not to leave your purse on the seat of your car or in the shopping cart while you load grocer-ies or parcels.

Do not leave purchased items unattended.

Gaudet suggests people not load themselves so much with purchases that it

is diffi cult to walk or carry them.

Be sure to place parcels in the trunk of the car, out of sight.

Lock your vehicle. If us-ing public transit, be sure you have all your parcels before you leave the ve-hicle.

Tidings of comfort and joyThe Sioux Lookout Community Choir gathered December 6 to present its annual Festival of Carols. Performing music from classic carols to modern melodies, the choir finished the show to a standing ovation from the packed audience at Sacred Heart Church. Before sending off the crowd to Joy to the World, choir director Marlene MacDonald wished everyone a feeling of peace, joy and love over the holiday season.

Moonlight Madness winner Representatives of area businesses and the Sioux Lookout Chamber of Commerce gathered December 3 to present Barb Linkewich with the Moonlight Madness draw prize. Flipping through her bounty of gift certificates, Linkewich exclaimed, “I’m so excited!” From left, Heidi Hochstelder of Bloomin’ Wild Flowers, Hillary Davies of Oshtugon Computers, Linda Rhyner of Bootlegger, Dori Hopko of Dori’s Sewing Studio and daughter Hailey, draw winner Linkewich, Candace Lafrance of the Chamber, Jamie Wisnoski of Home Hardware, and Darcy Franson of Wilson’s Business Solutions.

AC C E S S I B L E , c o n v e n i e n t t ransportat ion

for Sioux Lookout resi-dents who are 55 years of age and older and people

living with a disability.As of December 1, the

blue Handi-Transit bus was back on the road.

The Handi-Transit service will operate Tuesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Bus passes are for sale

at Johnny’s Fresh Market at the Customer Service Counter, the Municipal Offi ce, and from Sharon Schinke at 737-0097.

Anyone wishing to book a ride with the ser-vice is asked to call 738-1844 Monday to Friday

from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

For special event booking people can con-tact Dianna Ayotte at 737-1799.

Ayotte, Treasurer for the Handi-Transit Board, commented on the ser-

vice resuming in Sioux Lookout. “It’s absolutely delightful. We had quite a few people using it this week.”

She added, “I hope that people use it because if people are using it, if the demand is there, we

can increase the amount of time we have it acces-sible.”

Handi-Transit is man-aged by volunteers in partnership with Community Living Dryden-Sioux Lookout.
