WHEN emergencies threaten, when disasters strike,

members of the newly cre-ated Canadian Ranger Lac Seul First Nation Patrol 19 will be there.

On February 4 at the Obishikokaang Elementary School in Frenchman’s Head more than 20 community members from Lac Seul First Nation graduated from the ranger training program.

Terrance Angeconeb found out about all the skills he’d learn to help his community and others and decided to sign up.

“The training was very in-formative,” he said.

Lac Seul First Nation joins Canadian Rangers

WALKING into Pelican Falls First Nations High School

on February 9 was like walking onto a Hollywood movie set.

Students carrying cameras, lights and sound equipment scurried past clumps of young people working to memorize lines and placements.

Another group sat together with guitars, drums and vio-lins, piecing together a musi-cal score. A slate, the ubiqui-tous black-and-white striped board signifying the start of a take, was produced, and the students were off to the chosen location of their first shot in a short film, led by the DAREarts team, a group dedicated to artistic education.

Students dare to try filmmaking

Asked about becoming a Canadian Ranger, he said, “It was a real honour. It was a really good experience and it motivated me.”

Lac Seul First Nation Band Councillor David Gordon also graduated from the pro-gram, receiving a promotion to Master Corporal and was made second in charge of the Lac Seul patrol.

“We really wanted to have a patrol in Lac Seul and had requested a patrol be estab-lished here with the Canadian Ranger Program. They gave us word a patrol could be es-tablished here and I thought that by enrolling myself I might encourage some other people to join. Also I wanted to be a positive role model

Fourteen Pelican Falls stu-dents were joined by 16 from Queen Elizabeth District High School from February 7 to 12, learning the skills of storytell-ing, filmmaking, music, dance, drama and photography.

“DAREarts has been igniting change in youth and young peo-ple for over 16 years,” explained Cathy Elliott, Aboriginal art-ist, playwright, songwriter and performer. “DARE stands for discipline, accountability, re-sponsibility and excellence. The seven grandfather teach-ings are something that we want to mesh with the DARE principles, and they mesh very very beautifully.”

Elliott was joined by film-maker Francois Aubry, film-maker Jennifer Kalinowski, and Aboriginal screenwrit-er and community worker

Jeremy Proulx.Through the week the stu-

dents worked on a script for their film, inspired by Heart of a Dragon, the story of wheel-chair athlete Rick Hansen’s trek along the Great Wall of China.

The young filmmakers were shown the opening minutes of the film, featuring a famous Chinese legend.

With about 48 hours left to work, the youth had their script complete, roles hand-ed out, and were ready to try making a film.

Students led the entire pro-cess, from directing to sound, and were fearless both in front of and behind the camera, slid-ing into their duties as if it were second nature.

“This is what it feels like to make a movie,” Kalinowski

COUNCILNOTES

Wednesday, January 26

D E L E G AT I O N S /PRESENTATIONS

Mayor Dennis Leney presented retirement certifi cates to Gord Ford and Jean Gosse.

REPORTS

VEHICLE PURCHASECouncil authorized, for

pre-budget approval, the purchase of two vehicles in the amount of $47,140 plus HST for the Public Works and Bylaw Departments and that the departments carry the appropriate amounts in their respective budgets beginning in 2011; and further Council autho-rizes the transfer of $38,570 held in reserves for public works equipment to fund their purchases.

Through the passing of this item the Bylaw

Department’s ¾ ton truck was transferred to the Public Works Department at a cost of $15,000 to Public Works. The Bylaw department will purchase a new ½ ton 4x4 truck.

Municipal CAO Merlin Dewing explained, “It will be a transfer from one department to another so $15,000 will be taken from the public works re-serve and credited to the fi re department (for the bylaw vehicle) and then they’ll use that $15,000 to offset the cost of the new truck… a bit over $8000 is the balance.”

What this means is that public works gets the by-law department’s fairly new truck, the bylaw de-partment gets a new truck and the cost to come from the 2011 budget is $8570.

Councillor John Bath said he was not in favour of pre-budget approval.

Councillor Joyce Timpson agreed.

After discussion on the matter, the motion was passed unanimously.

APPOINTMENT OF MUNICIPAL AUDITOR FOR 2011

Council authorized a one year extension to the appointment of BDO Dunwoody LLP as the Municipal auditor from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

BUILDING CANADA FUND, LEGAL AGREEMENT –

E X T E N S I O N REQUEST FOR THE SIOUX LOOKOUT CULTURAL CENTRE FOR YOUTH AND THE ARTS

Council approved that WHEREAS the Federal and Provincial governments are providing a one-time ex-tension of the deadline for funding of projects under

the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, Building Canada Fund – Communities Top-Up, the Recreational Infrastructure Canada/Ontario Recreation Program, and the Knowledge Infrastructure Program from March 31, 2011 to October 31, 2011; AND WHEREAS all fund-ing from the Government of Canada and Ontario will cease after October 31, 2011; AND WHEREAS The Corporation of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout has asked the provincial government for an extension to Federal and Provincial funding to October 31, 2011 for the following projects: Program: BCF, Project Number: 27786,

Project Title: Cultural Centre for Youth and the Arts, Total Eligible Cost: $3.9 million

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Corporation of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout attests that it will continue to contribute its share of the required fund-ing for the aforementioned projects; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT actual claims for all eligible costs incurred by March 31, 2011, for the aforementioned projects must be and will be sub-mitted no later than April 30, 2011; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT The Corporation of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout will ensure that the project will be completed.

Dewing explained, “This report solely is ex-tending our funding win-dow. It’s taking the safety

net of funding and spread-ing it over a longer period of time. Nowhere have we said we’re going to extend the contractor’s window. We’ve just extended the funding window which gives us some freeboard, an additional seven months.

“What we’ve done is go to the contractor (LTL Group) and say we will extend your construction window by three months thereby giving you better construction timing, better weather to work in, etcet-era. Will you give us some money back? Will you give us some savings? If they’ll give us a savings we’ll weigh that savings against the construction being completed later. This is just the funding window being extended to our advantage. When we hear back from the contractor we will go to council.”

Councillor Doug Squires asked if council was pre-pared to let the former Sioux Hotel building sit un-fi nished all summer.

Municipal Manager of Development Services Peter Moyer P.Eng ex-plained the municipality is talking with the contractor to determine benefi ts to the town of extending the proj-ect timeline.

Mayor Dennis Leney said he would like to see costs for the project capped.

Squires also said he felt taxpayers should be see-ing things happen with that building to be converted into the Sioux Lookout Cultural Centre for Youth and the Arts.

Moyer said although it doesn’t look it from the out-

side, a great deal of work has been happening on the inside of the building.

SIOUX LOOKOUT GOLF AND CURLING CLUB – EXTENSION REQUEST, DRAFT PLAN APPROVAL

Council approved THAT Draft Approval for Plan of Subdivision 60T 98010 be extended one year to June 5, 2012.

This extension gives the Sioux Lookout Golf and Curling Club an additional year to work on the homes it is creating in its Highland Park subdivision.

NOTICE OF MOTION - PROCEDURE BYLAW

Council voted THAT discussion of changes to the Municipal Procedure Bylaw be deferred to a Special Council Meeting to be held after February 23 and that staff solicit proposed changes from council and managers to be compiled and distributed as a discussion paper prior to the meeting.

At the special council meeting council will dis-cuss how municipal council meetings are run and any changes they would like to make to that process.

Dewing explained it is normal practice for the town’s procedural bylaw to be reviewed every new term of council to see if re-visions should be made as well as to educate council about the current process.

Councillors were ad-vised to give the current system some time before making changes.

Dewing said the current municipal procedural by-

NOTICE OF MOTION – SIOUX LOOKOUT HYDRO INC. SHAREHOLDER DECLARATION

Council voted to de-fer this matter to a special council meeting to occur after February 23 to look at the structure of the Sioux Lookout Hydro Board and determine if any changes should be made.

Councillor John Bath, a former member of the hydro board, brought for-ward a motion to council in which he proposed several changes to the way the cur-rent hydro board operates.

The Sioux Lookout Hydro Board was reor-ganized recently by the municipality.

Dewing explained to council there is a substantial amount of history around the board and changes made to it and suggested council defer the matter.

After much discussion, Squires pointed out to council they were no fur-ther ahead and suggested they take the CAO’s advice and defer the matter.

M E N O - YA - W I N HEALTH CENTRE BOARD APPOINTMENT

Council voted to sub-mit the names of Joyce Timpson and Doug Squires to the nominating commit-tee of the Sioux Lookout

Meno-Ya-Win Health Centre Board of Directors for consideration as the council member represen-tative to the Board.

COUNCIL BUSINESS CARDS

Council reaffi rmed Resolution No. 290-09, which states THAT Council approves the adop-tion of a new logo for the Municipality for Municipal signage, advertising, visual media and other correspon-dence and further THAT the former logos be preserved and used for heritage pur-poses and further THAT Council directs staff to sup-ply business cards to coun-cil that make use of Sioux Lookout’s new logo.

I N V E S T I G AT I O N TO LOCATE A YOUNG OFFENDERS FACILITY IN SIOUX LOOKOUT

Council voted to au-thorize staff to investigate the opportunity to locate a young offenders facility in Sioux Lookout.

I N V E S T I G AT I O N TO LOCATE AN ADULT JAIL IN SIOUX LOOKOUT

Council gave direction to staff to investigate the op-portunity to locate an adult jail in Sioux Lookout.

Mayor Dennis Leney brought forward the mo-tions to investigate locating a young offender’s facil-ity and adult jail in Sioux Lookout through the town’s economic development of-

fi cer and CAO.Leney said this re-

vives a concept that had been pursued three coun-cil terms ago when Sioux Lookout was in the running with Kenora for an adult jail facility.

Leney said he believes there would be a great deal of benefi t to everyone concerned if both facilities were able to be made a real-ity in Sioux Lookout.

Leney said that due to Sioux Lookout’s geo-graphical location, it would make it easier for relatives of those in custody to help them in their healing and rehabilitation process.

He also said such fa-cilities would create jobs in town for the creation and running of the fa-cilities and would also reduce Sioux Lookout’s policing costs incurred by prisoner transport.

Dewing said, “With council’s support or di-rection the mayor will be meeting with ministers in Toronto at OGRA to discuss the concept and see where it could go. As part of our analysis we have to determine, is this something that is good for the community.”

Timpson said she would support in principle looking into this concept but strong-ly cautioned the municipal-

ity to be very careful in looking into such concepts adding that many social services would need to also be up and running as part of the operation of such fa-cilities in town if they were to happen.

BYLAWS

O N T A R I O INFRASTRUCTURE P R O J E C T S C O R P O R A T I O N , CONSTRUCTION LOAN APPLICATION

Council authorizes the passing of Bylaw 02-11, Being a Bylaw to Authorize Certain Capital Works of The Corporation of the Municipality of Sioux (The “Municipality”); to Authorize the Submission of an Application to the Ontario Infrastructure Projects

Corporation (“OIPC”) for Financing of Such Capital Works; to Authorize Temporary Borrowing from OIPC to Meeting Expenditures in Connection with Such Works; and to Authorize Long Term Borrowing from OIPC for Such Works Through the Issue of Debentures.

Dewing explained this matter was about town council approving a con-struction loan for the reha-bilitation of the train sta-tion and Centennial Park

as well as the youth and arts centre.

“We are asking for more money than our contribu-tion and that will cover the cash fl ow defi cit between the time we spent the mon-ey and the time the govern-ment gives us the money. Otherwise we have to carry it ourselves.

The town is looking to receive $4.5 million.

The town plans to recov-er its costs on both projects over time.

CENTENNIAL PARK REVITALIZATION AND GATEWAY SIGNAGE

Council awarded the contract for detailed de-signs, specifi cations and tendering, with severable function of contract admin-istration for Centennial Park Revitalization and Gateway Signage to Hilderman, Thomas, Frank, Cram, Landscape Architects, in the amount

of $197,245 plus HST; and further THAT Council authorized the passing of Bylaw No. 01- 11, Being a Bylaw to Authorize the Mayor and the Clerk to Execute a Contract Between The Corporation of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout and Hilderman, Thomas, Frank, Cram, Landscape Architects, for detailed designs, specifi ca-tions, tendering, with sever-able function of contract ad-ministration for Centennial Park Revitalization and Gateway Signage.

Dewing explained, “Instead of just blindly making the award, we need certain components to move forward. We need detailed design specs and tendering, but if we choose not to move forward with the project obviously we’re not going to need contract administration and when they choose not to

Exhilarating experi-ence

I just spent a wonder-ful weekend thanks to Barb Matousek, Wasaya Airlines and the Ontario Arts Council. During the Literacy Festival, Barb organized a week-end writing workshop at Abram Lake Park.

The event began at the library on Friday, February 4 with readings from two Thunder Bay writers, Mary Frost (poet) and Holly Haggarty (au-thor of two children’s books). On Saturday and Sunday, Mary and Holly led workshops.

I participated in the poetry writing sessions led by Mary. It was the best workshop I have ever attended in terms of its enjoyment and useful-ness. I felt so exhilarated afterward that I couldn’t fall asleep Sunday night. I heard equally good things about Holly’s workshop.

Our weekend of writ-ing also included supper and a play on Saturday evening. Playwright Eleanor Crowder and author/actor Katherine Grier, combined their considerable talents to treat us with a produc-tion of Family Album, demonstrating how our family histories are lit-tered with stories that both nourish and defy who we are.

The true marvel of these events is how seamlessly they unfolded and how incredibly af-fordable it all was, only twenty dollars per par-ticipant. Can you even go to the movies for that price anymore? (Well, actually you can if you live in Sioux Lookout!).

Thank you so much, Barb, for your great work, not only for this weekend but for spear-heading the Literacy Festival every year. It has become an event as keenly anticipated as the Blueberry Festival, Race Relations Week, and the Winter Festival. Thank you to the art-ists who travelled to Sioux Lookout to share their talents, and to Wilson’s, Wahsa and the Sioux Lookout Public Library for the bag of writing treats.

Literacy festivalThese past three weeks

have been fi lled with ex-citing events for the Ninth Annual Literacy Festival. This year we have been lucky to have had three groups of artists come to our community to work in schools in Sioux Lookout and in Hudson. The goal of our literacy festival com-mittee has always been to involve as many different groups of people from our community as possible and to provide an oppor-tunity for participants to be creative in some way. We like to defi ne literacy as expression, which can include not only writing and reading but music, drama, dance and even fi lm making.

If you, or your child, had a literacy festival ex-perience we would like to thank you too for be-ing a participant. We hope you all had a fantastic ex-perience whether it was proofreading your child’s writing, judging that writ-ing, telling a story, picking up some wonderful food for our writing workshop, playing a game of scrabble or crokinole, or attending one of the many festival events held throughout the community.

There are many behind the scenes people involved in these events that should be praised for their efforts to provide some excellent and fun opportunities to participate; too many to thank here but you know who you are.

Thank you for the plea-sure of working to create such a wonderfully cre-ative community.

Barb Matousek, on be-half of the Sioux Lookout Literacy Festival

Remembrances of Mum from Bulletin article

Hello, Catherine,The power of the

Internet is amazing! The Sioux Lookout Bulletin story about your exhibit caught the eye of Brian, a Thunder Bay man whose mother grew up in Sioux Lookout’s Finnish com-munity and was a child-hood friend of Signe Ilkka, our mother.

Brian recognized Mum’s name and e-mailed the article to his cousin, Debra Robinson, because he knew that she is also

In 1966, the school board invited Mum to take a sabbatical to earn a BLS, which she did, and the next year, she became one of the fi rst library consultants in the province. At the time, consultants were called “master teachers,” and Mum oversaw the recruit-ing of school librarians and the setting up of libraries in elementary schools across York Region. Mum was also instrumental in lob-bying the ministry to fund the purchase of paperbacks for school libraries. Hard to believe that there was a time when paperbacks were frowned on!

Throughout this pe-riod, Mum continued to work with FW, serv-ing as president of the York Region Women Teachers’ Association and being elected a direc-tor of the provincial fed-eration. As a director, she worked on various com-mittees, including one on Aboriginal education.

Between her work with school libraries and with FW, Mum was enormous-ly busy. During salary negotiations, she would often fi nish school in the afternoon and go straight to a bargaining session, then arrive home late at night with a pile of library books that needed to be catalogued (she often did this thankless job herself because the board’s bud-get for clerical help was just about non-existent). And in her “time off,” she would spend hours on the telephone, deeply involved in advising teachers who needed help dealing with the board, planning strat-egy with other members of the local or provincial executive, and so on.

She also spent several summers working with students at the CNIB, often inviting them home and taking them on excursions. Later, she taught sum-mer courses to teachers who planned to become school librarians.

When Mum retired, FW held a dinner to honour her, and after her death, the York Region WTA estab-lished an annual award in her name. It was bestowed on a woman teacher who had made an exceptional contribution to the WTA’s work in York Region.

In some ways, it’s fortu-nate that Mum died before

FW and the Ontario men teachers’ association unit-ed to form a single group. This union had been talked of for years before it actu-ally happened, and Mum was always adamantly op-posed to the idea, perhaps because she had been in-volved for so long in the battle to ensure that wom-en and men teachers were treated equally. Given your own teaching career, I’m sure you’re familiar with some of the inequities that were common at one time.

But Mum was also forward-thinking, and as conditions became more equitable, she may have recognized that times had changed and that women had achieved many of the goals that had once seemed almost out of reach — and that the bad old days were gone for good.

Mum would have been delighted to know that you remembered that she was from Sioux Lookout. Her parents died when she was quite young, but she was always proud of her roots in the town and often spoke fondly of what things were like when she was growing up there. Later in life, she returned a couple of times for visits and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with old friends — and to speak Finnish with folk who had been part of her childhood.

Mum would also have been very interested in your work with rags. She was an excellent seam-stress, who for years made most of our clothes. But being young and stupid, we didn’t appreciate her skill and longed to have “store-bought” clothes like our friends. She also knit-ted beautifully, and I trea-sure the things she created for my own kids when they were young.

Though she tried to pass on these skills to us, her efforts didn’t fall on particularly fertile ground. The three of us can do the basics, but our needlework skills are less than stellar.

Thank you so much for your inquiry, which has given us this wonder-ful opportunity to put to-gether this little memoir of our mum. We all miss her every day.

Best wishes.Dyanne RiversSigne BallRhondda Snary

our cousin — on a differ-ent side of the family. And Debbie, who is in Korea leading a team of ESL teachers, then e-mailed your request to us. So your message travelled halfway round the world before it reached us here in south-ern Ontario!

To say that your inter-est in hearing about our mum touched our hearts would be an understate-ment. Mum died in 1988 at the age of 69, but her memory is dear to us, and we are very proud of her achievements. And there were many of those. After graduating from North Bay Normal School, Mum went on to a long and distinguished career in teaching.

Her fi rst teaching jobs were in rural schools in places such as Kirkland Lake and Savant Lake. She often told stories of the isolation of those places: of living in the teacherage attached to the rear of the schoolhouse and, in winter, of skiing out after school on Fridays, then back in on dark Sunday nights — only to scare herself silly by listening to The Shadow on radio.

During this time, she attended summer school at Queen’s, earning a BA. While at Queen’s, she met our dad. This was dur-ing WW II, and he was in the army, serving at a base near Kingston. They mar-ried and had three girls: me and my sisters, Signe and Rhondda.

When each of us was very young, Mum took time off teaching, but we three were spaced so that, as my dad’s job took the family around the country, she also spent time teaching in Manitoba and Quebec.

In 1956, the family alighted in Thornhill, just north of Toronto, and it was there that Mum really came into her own. She went to work for the local town-ship school board, which was eventually amalgam-ated into what is today the York Region District School Board.

Mum became involved in salary negotiations through the local branch of FWTAO — the Federation of Women Teachers’ Associations of Ontario — and then moved on to work actively with FW at the provincial level.

EQUAY-WUK wom-en’s group hosted a gathering for wom-

en from Aboriginal com-munities in Northwestern Ontario February 9 and 10 in Sioux Lookout.

The gathering’s theme was celebrating and hon-ouring women in the north.

Equay-wuk hosts women’s gatheringA women’s gathering

takes place every two years to coincide with the Equay-wuk AGM, as each elected director on the board sits for two years.

Kelly Anderson of Lac Seul First Nation was elected board chair, Lisa Beardy of Muskrat Dam was elected vice-chair, and Joyce Sawanas of Sandy Lake was elected secre-

tary and treasurer. Dorothy Sakanee of Neskantaga, Ruby Morris of Muskrat Dam, and Sadie McKay of Big Trout Lake were elect-

ed directors.Sandra Bergman,

Equay-wuk program direc-tor, said that although the gathering was smaller than

past years due to fi nancial constraints, more than the expected 24 women were in attendance.

While some women were sponsored by their bands and others were selected by Equay-wuk based on past workshops, many women came from the general public.

Two guest speakers from PARO Centre for Women’s Enterprise came to speak about starting businesses. The main fo-cus of the gathering, how-ever, was the Nishnawbe Women’s Wellness work-shop and the Building Aboriginal Women in

Leadership workshop.Curriculum devel-

oped by Equay-wuk was presented to the women in attendance to ensure the programs are cultur-ally appropriate for each woman’s home commu-nity. A fi nal draft will be prepared, then the women will receive resources to implement the curriculum across the 31 communities Equay-wuk serves.

Bergman said the drafts are expected to be com-plete in March.

Of the gathering, Bergman said, “I was ec-static. It was wonderful. I had so much fun.”

exclaimed, guiding the students through another shot.

DAREarts originally planned for two short films, but the final re-sult was one 14-minute long masterpiece, tell-ing the story of a high school loner’s ultimate acceptance from her peers. The film also delved into issues of substance abuse and peer pressure.

Elliott said the team usually uses the teach-ing of respect as the jumping off point for a new group of students.

“The minute that we met the youth here we found out that they’ve got respect down,” she said.

The team asked the students which teach-ing they would like to focus on, and the choice was courage.

“It’s a pretty apt way to go because these are very very courageous young people, very hon-est young people, and really, such a pleasure and an honour for us to be part of this circle of friendship,” Elliott said.

The fi lm was screened for the community at the Mayfair Theatre February 13. It was fol-lowed by a documentary about DAREart’s work in Webequie, and the full length movie of Heart of a Dragon. The team’s goal was to send youth home with their own fi lm plus Heart of a Dragon, particularly those with a different home commu-nity than Sioux Lookout, so participants could share and inspire others, while building their own leadership skills.

The Mayfair theatre was fi lled with com-munity members, from

family and friends of students to staff from both schools.

“This is amazing,” Elliott said prior to the fi lm’s start. “It’s so nice to see so many faces here.”

Kalinowski and Aubry worked long hours ed-iting the fi lm into its fi nal state.

“I’ve only slept two hours. Francois has only slept for one, one and a half,” Kalinowski said, adding that they put the effort and love into ed-iting because they saw how much effort and love the students put into the fi lm.

Aubry encouraged the participants to continue studying fi lm.

“You have to keep feeding the fi re with wood if you want the fi re to burn,” he said. “This doesn’t stop today. It just starts today.”

Inspire others, while building leadership skills

kind of tumbled out from there.”

Jillian Toms who also wrote about Sioux Lookout said she enjoys living in Sioux Lookout and the fun things to do here, as well as the nice people and the wilderness.

“I really like to write stories and say them in front of people,” she said.

Emily Matousek also wrote about Sioux Lookout and said, “I guess I sort of thought what would be a whacky

combination of things to put in a story.”

Matousek said she enjoyed writing her story, “I really like writing for fun.”

Literacy Festival Chair Barb Matousek said she is hoping even more pieces are submitted for the writing contest next year, adding the quality of this year’s entries was quite high.

“It was wonderful. There was some re-ally great writing,” she said, adding, “I think it’s really important to

give people the oppor-tunity to say yeah, I’m a writer.”

Asked about the pop-ular subject of writing about Sioux Lookout, she said, “My goal is to get a book together of all the winning writ-ers over the past years and make it available to sell next year dur-ing Sioux Lookout’s 100th anniversary. So I fi gured if this was the last entry for the book, it would be nice to end off on the theme of My Sioux Lookout.”


Community members gathered at the Sioux Lookout Public Library to hear this year’s literacy festival writing contest winners share their work.

for the youth and a big factor was that in one year from now we could have a junior ranger program and I’m really looking forward to hav-ing that in the commu-nity for youth.”

Gordon commented on the graduation cere-mony. “I think we had a really good turnout here in the community, a lot of family members of the Rangers that gradu-ated. For myself, I was surprised I got promot-ed but at the same time I was very proud.”

Lac Seul Band Councillor Brad Ross became a Ranger in Muskrat Dam and has been a Ranger for about 10 years now.

His expertise and passion for the Ranger Program earned him the rank of Sergeant in charge of the Lac Seul patrol.

Ross said Ranger training took place over about eight days in Frenchman’s Head and included a good mix of community mem-bers in terms of age and gender.

He said benefits to the community and sur-rounding area of Lac Seul having a Ranger patrol group include the patrol’s search and rescue training, medi-cal training and ability to assist and coordinate with the Canadian mili-tary and other govern-ment agencies such

as Ontario Provincial Police, Health Canada and the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Some of the skills the Rangers learned included map reading, compass and GPS navi-gation, fire arms train-ing and CPR and first aid training.

Dianna Pember said, “I guess I wanted to help out my commu-nity, be more involved. I’m proud to be a Canadian Ranger.”

Br igad i e r-Gene ra l Fred Lewis, who is in charge of Canadian military operations for the province of Ontario, was on hand for the graduation ceremony.

He was impressed with Lac Seul’s Ranger

Patrol and challenged the Rangers to be role models to youth and keep up the enthusiasm for the program.

He said it is good to have a branch of the Canadian military in the area to help out in times of need.

Lac Seul First Nation Chief Clifford Bull commented, “We’re very proud of what we achieved here today. Getting a patrol in Lac Seul is something we’ve always wanted.

“We’re confident if an emergency arises we now have people to send to help out and see to people’s needs.”

Bull agreed with Gordon and Ross that it will be exciting to

be able to start a junior Ranger patrol in the First Nation next year.

Bull said having a Ranger patrol in Lac Seul is something the community has wanted for a long time. “We re-ally wanted a program like this to run here due to the nature of our community. We have three communities. We wanted members trained in each area so they can respond quickly to emergencies as the need arises and also to help out when unfortunate things happen.”

He commented on Brigadier-General Lewis attending the graduation ceremony, “The general being here really meant a lot to us. To have a

high ranking offi cial take time for us to be a part of our ceremony was indeed an honour.”

Bull added that the new patrol is a continu-ation of the proud mili-tary tradition of the First Nation. “Lac Seul has always prided itself on doing its duty for our country. We’re proud to be Canadian. We’ve had service men in World War One and World War Two and we want to contribute and feel very proud to do so.”

Lac Seul First Nation Patrol 19 is the 19th Ranger patrol group set up in Northern Ontario.

Canadian Rangers are part time reserve sol-diers, members of the Canadian Military.

move forward with certain components of the project because of cost or our desire to truncate them or do them later, we don’t want to commit ourselves to paying that full amount of money out. However the tender, the RFP related to all that work at that amount of money, what we’ve done is make the contract administration portion severable so at the time when we get to that point we can just advise them we’re not doing this component of the project or reducing the cost by whatever that was worth.”

Resident Mike Quince said he didn’t like council being told they had to make major decisions on capi-tal projects in the space of one meeting.

He said the municipal-ity has spent thousands of dollars on consultants and said projects are not mov-ing forward.

He also said the tender-ing process needed to be improved to better allow smaller, local businesses a better shot at getting to do some of these projects.

Quince said he didn’t see how the municipality could afford to go forward with everything in the down-town revitalization proj-ect, adding that of projects underway, he didn’t see much progress.

Moyer said the down-town revitalization project is very broad and proj-ects are being prioritized over time.

Council was told they

needed to approve this item to get billing started by the March 31 stimulus funding extension deadline.

Timpson said she felt the municipality is in too deep to its capital projects to back out now and needs to move forward.

With all the money that has been spent to purchase the train station, interim re-pairs to its foundation, the purchase of the land from CN, and design and plan-ning work that’s been done on capital projects a lot of money has been spent.

“The majority of that money is supported by funding from the Provincial and Federal governments. If we pulled the plug on the project one could ar-gue they would want their money back because their funding was based on us completing the project.”

That money would have to be funded through the tax payers.

Dewing said of the heritage train station re-habilitation project, “Our contribution for the total project would be about a million dollars, however our contribution if we pulled the plug on the project would be about a million dollars so do you want to spend the million dollars and have a completed project and an asset worth nearly $4 million or do you want to spend your million dol-lars and have it look like what it looks like right now. It’s a very similar comparison on the youth

centre. You will have spent the same amount of taxpayer dollars to get a fi nished project as an unfi nished project because we’re taking advantage of this substantial amount of funding coming from the province and the feds.”

O U T S I D E R E S O L U T I O N S – REQUESTS FOR SUPPORT

CITY OF KINGSTON RE: INCREASE HEADS AND BEDS PAYMENTS

The Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout voted to sup-port the City of Kingston in their efforts to petition the Province of Ontario to provide an increase in the heads and beds payment.

Homes and Building Skills project.

The project is aimed at building green and sustainable housing for First Nation communities.

Fort Severn members trained to build

As a result Fort Severn community members will travel to Sudbury to be trained in homebuilding by

Holmes and his crew.“I was pleased to

support the community in its efforts to participate in this project,” said Kenora MP Greg Rickford. “In the end, it was the strength of the Fort Severn community who left a strong impression and led to their participation in the project.”

Lynn Traviss-Thompson and Jennifer Maki, who spent many hours preparing the skaters for this annual event.

A vital part of this organization is the role played by the program assistants, composed of senior skaters who dedicate time to mentor their junior partners, in particular members of the CanSkate group.

A strong volunteer base of devoted parents ensures the continuation of this important community sport.

Sioux Lookout was represented at Regionals by 18 members who

each did an outstanding job and together brought home 26 medals!

The Roxanne Gordon Team Spirit Award was presented to Sioux Lookout for demonstrating the most fun and showing support to fellow skaters. Alyson Brunton had the honour of receiving the Kathy Livingston Award, given to the skater who exhibits excellence in presentation and artistic expression. The skaters and their coaches worked hard and trained tirelessly to prepare for this level of competition. Each of these competitors skated a personal best and most importantly had fun.

Here are some of the results for SLFSC at the Sunset Regional Interclub Competition. C A N S K A T E

If tears could bring a stairway, And memories a lane,

We would walk right up to Heaven,

And bring you home again.

LOOKING for something to do this winter to have

fun, keep in shape or just try something new?

If your answer is yes, you might be interested in some of the recreational programs offered this winter through the Municipality of Sioux

Winter programming offered by community services Lookout’s Community Services Department.

Manager of Community Services Neil Carbone shared, “We have a wealth of new sports/fitness programming which started in January. We have numerous fitness classes including toning classes… we have things you have to register for, drop in availability on some

of the classes. “We have Zumba classes

being taught, pilates classes being taught. For sports we continue to have our open tennis days on Thursdays and Sundays.”

Another season of co-ed volleyball is starting up in February.

“I’m excited to say we’re starting up the Johnny’s Junior Gym program again

and we’re expanding on it this year with two different age groups, the younger kids on Mondays and the older kids on Fridays and that’s in the evening for an hour and a half. A big thanks to Johnny’s Fresh Market and all the sponsors of the program and to those who run the program.”

Carbone said, “Johnny’s Junior Gym is specifically

geared toward creating a free structured, supervised, recreation environment and programming for youth. Instructor wages, healthy snacks that are served, other programming and supplies and the facility rental is all subsidized through the community services department or our partnering sponsors. There is also some investment

from PRO Kids into that as well.”

Also being offered this winter are jazz dance and ballet classes as well as karate and mixed martial arts.

Anyone who might be interested in any of these programs is encouraged to drop by the Sioux Lookout Recreation Centre for additional information.
