Students recognized for cancer research contributions

Sioux Mountain Public School Grade 6 students were presented with an Award Certificate by Ashley Rooney from the Canadian Cancer Society. Class member Keenan Fiddler raised $40 of their total amount.

Year round, enhanced mammography services now being offered by SLMHC

Tim BrodyAssociAte editor

A major health care announcement from The Sioux Lookout

Meno Ya Win Health Centre (SLMHC) last week.

The health centre is now offering year round, enhanced mammography services.

A health centre press release states, “Our digital mammography unit has given us the opportunity to expand our breast screening and diagnostic mammography services to include mammograms, breast ultrasounds and breast biopsies. All services can be performed on site, in a timely

manner, following provincial quality assurance guidelines and standards.”

Previously women were only able to access mammography services 30 days of the year when a special van came to town or they had to travel to Thunder Bay.

Jenn Maki, VP, Quality and Support Services for SLMHC explained the mammography equipment at the hospital started being used in 2011.

Technicians then had to be trained and the equipment checked over.

The mammography unit received accreditation in October of 2013.

Students help to raise money for cancer research

Geoff ShieldsstAff Writer

DAffODiL Month, held every April, is a national fundraising campaign

of the Canadian Cancer Society. During this time volunteers are involved in numerous activities to raise funds for the fight against cancer.

in keeping with the spirit of the event, students from Sioux Mountain Public School, through donations from their parents, were able to raise over $400 towards cancer research. The Grade 6 class achieved the highest amount, half of which was raised through the singular efforts of student Keenan fiddler.

Ashley Rooney covers all of the western communities from Upsala to the Manitoba border

as fundraising Coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society. She was present at the school on April 23 to award an Appreciation Certificate to the students on behalf of the Society. She stated, “This year the students at Sioux Mountain Public School joined the fight by fundraising during Daffodil Month and wearing Daffodil stickers showing their support of people battling cancer. it is always great to see youth getting involved, learning about fundraising and most importantly the reasons behind the fundraising.” She continued, “We are so thankful to have such great support from the community. Lisa Salonen and her Grade 6 class managed to raise over $80 and

as the highest fundraisers in the school they were awarded with a certificate and a pizza party.”

Speaking about the award Salonen said, “i hope we continue with this. it’s a new way of promoting cancer awareness from the kid’s point of view.”

Annette Berry, an intervention Teacher at SMPS and organizer of the fundraiser commented, “i’m a member of the Canadian Cancer Society and Relay for Life and we decided to do a school project this year to include the children in the fundraising. Many families have been affected by cancer, it was our first campaign and it was successful in promoting awareness and we hope to do this for next year.”

Ah-Shawah-Bin recognizes contributions of volunteersGeoff ShieldsstAff Writer

AH - S H AWA H -BiN Victim Support Services

is a non-profit corporation that currently has 10 dedicated volunteers who provide immediate, short-term emotional and practical assistance to victims of crime and tragic circumstances in the communities of Sioux Lookout and Lac Seul first Nation. Every year, to coincide with National Victims of Crime Awareness Week, they acknowledge the work of their volunteers.

Victim Services Coordinator V. Geneva Sainnawap spoke about this year’s event. “April 6 to 12 was recognized as National Victims of Crime Awareness Week and we hosted a dinner at the 5th Avenue Bar and Grill on April 11 for our volunteers as our way of saying thank you for their contributions to the program and providing excellent services to

victims and their families. in addition, we also presented 10 year plus awards to four very dedicated volunteers who have been with us for more than 10 years.”

The recipients were Candi Edwards - Aboriginal Healthy Babies, Healthy Children family home visitor who works at the Sunset Women’s Aboriginal Circle office, Cindy DeLaurier from Tikinagan Child and family Services, Brian Logan, retired Nishnawabe-Gamik friendship Centre Drug and Addictions Councilor and Candice Carter-Cecchetto who works at the Sioux Lookout funeral Home.

Edwards commented, “in October 2013 i celebrated 10 years of volunteering with Ah-Shawah-Bin and i attended the volunteer dinner they held on April11 along with Cindy DeLaurier, Brian Logan and Candice Carter-Cecchetto. We were each

presented with an award by Shauntelle Elliot, volunteer coordinator in appreciation of our services.”

Edwards spoke about her work with Ah-Shawah-Bin, “Originally i did a 40 hour training program with different facilitators which i found very interesting. Now i do facilitating sessions for other volunteers. I find the work that i do rewarding as well as interesting. At times the call work is slow which is good as it means there are not that many women out there in need of our services and i will continue to do this into the foreseeable future.” She added, “it was an honor to receive the award and i enjoyed the evening very much.”

C a r t e r - C e c c h e t t o shared, “it has been a great experience volunteering for this important community service for the past 10 years and it is an honor to receive an award for doing so. Helping others in times

of need is an important role in building strong and caring communities. i would like to thank Ah-Shawah-Bin for giving me the opportunity to help in my community.”

Logan stated, “i was quiet honored to receive the award. Volunteering is a very important activity because it involves giving up your personal time without payment so these acknowledgements are a way for organizations to say thank you.”

He added, “The team i work with is a very exceptional one, well trained and they do a fantastic job and to be recognized amongst peers like that is a great feeling. i am the only

male at present within the volunteer system and i think they need more male input as it’s important in the training of the team as a whole because you get both sides perspective-wise and i think that is very important for the type of volunteer work we

do there.”Sainnawap concluded,

“On behalf of the board of directors and the staff of Ah-Shawah-Bin we would like to thank all our volunteers for their time and commitment in making a difference in the lives of others.”

Councillor Doug Squires reports back from NOMA conference


MU N i C i P A L C o u n c i l l o r Doug Squires

attended the recent Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association 2014 Annual Meeting and Conference in fort frances and said it was time well spent.

“i thought it was very well done. Some good information,” he said.

Squires said he was impressed that Premier Kathleen Wynne attended the conference and spoke to delegates as did Northern Development Critic Norm Miller on behalf of PC Leader Tim Hudak and Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell on behalf of NDP leader Andrea Horwath.

“The general feel i got from listening to all of them speak is that every party is in election mode. i think that was to be expected. There were lots of good promises, every party said they would do something fantastic but i think all three parties seemed to understand the future of the province is in the northwest. We have great potential here,” Squires said.

four members of the Wynne cabinet also were available to answer

questions, Northern Development Minister Michael Gravelle, Municipal Affairs Minister Bill Mauro, Aboriginal Affairs Minister David Zimmer and Transportation Minister Glenn Murray.

Squares stated, “They weren’t able to speak as freely as they would have liked due to the upcoming budget. They didn’t really want to commit to anything. it made sense but it was also very frustrating. Overall i felt the conference went very, very well.”

“There was a young fellow, Stan Wesley, who gave a keynote address, Roads to Resources Through Partnerships. He gave a very powerful presentation of how we need to work together. After his presentation i went up and spoke with him personally and he was very knowledgeable about

our friendship Accord in Sioux Lookout. He was a very impressive speaker. i think he was probably the most powerful speaker we had there,” Squires commented. “The direction our mayor and council has taken with the friendship Accord really seemed to strike a note there. i spoke to a number of representatives throughout the conference and they seemed to think we are going in the right direction. Personally i think we are leaps and bounds ahead of a lot of the country.”

Squires concluded, “The conference really revolved around people working together and moving forward and that we have to work together… we have so many resources here there’s a lot of hype around the Ring of fire but there’s many mining opportunities within the northwest.”

Municipality asking public’s help with spring cleaningGeoff ShieldsstAff Writer

PiTCH-iN CANADA originated in 1967 when a group

of concerned citizens from Victoria, British Columbia decided to hold a week-long event. There were growing concerns

by the residents over the increasing sight of litter and marine debris in the area; so they gathered together to clean up the shoreline and tidal area. The event was a great success and resulted in the formation of the Outdoors Unlittered

Club from which Pitch-in evolved to become an annual clean-up event across Canada.

The Municipality of Sioux Lookout commenced involvement in the program in 1999.This year, the former week-long event, which

used to run from April 20-26, has been extended with the deadline now closing on May 31 because of water conditions due to melting snow.

Public Works Manager Andrew Jewell spoke about how to register your group, “We have various locations for interested parties to register and collect kits. These include the Tourist information Centre, Hidden Lake Landfill Site, Sioux Lookout Public Library, Recreation Centre, the Town Office, Public Works Office and the East Side Convenience Store in Hudson. Once people fill

out the registration form, they basically select an area of the municipality they are going to clean up. The department uses updated maps so that we can assure participants that there is no overlap and people can check what has been done. The maps are available only at the Town Office and Public Works Office.”

He continued, “Once they have registered we give them a package of bags and gloves. Not all the bags are marked Pitch-in. Some are clear and regular black garbage bags are not utilized in the program. Also if residents are willing to carry on

picking up garbage for the Municipality beyond May 31 they can come and register with Public Works and we will provide bags and gloves for them to continue cleaning.”

“The response last year was fairly good. There were 32 registered projects comprised of 667 participants that collected 1392 kilograms of garbage and i would like to encourage any residents, schools, businesses to sign up and register to help keep our community clean. if anyone has any questions, do not hesitate to call the Public Works Office or the Town Office” he said. 1 Col: 1.5625” 2 Col: 3.3” 3 Col: 5.0375” 4 Col: 6.775” 5 Col: 8.5125” 6 Col: 10.25”X: 0.25”

More insight provided into development proposals for local green space


fO L L O W i N G a packed house council meeting

where many residents voiced concern over plans for a local green space, a follow-up meeting was recently held where developers could present their plans and members of council and the public could ask questions.

The green space at the intersection of fuller Street and Second Avenue, which formerly played host to the community’s outdoor rink and a playground, was declared surplus by the municipality in January.

Municipal ads advising of official plan and zoning bylaw amendments to change the zoning of the property and requesting proposals from developers had many attending the March 19 town council meeting feeling there might be a problem with the municipal process.

it was stated at the meeting that was not the case, however members of council and staff conceded it could be perceived that way by the public.

Concerns over a lack

of green space in the area, drainage, a possible gravel pit and car dump being buried under the site and possibly having something built that might not fit the character of the neighbourhood all came up.

A decision was made to hold a follow up meeting on April 17.

John Carnochan of White Pine General Contracting presented he and partner Kevin Labelle’s proposal for the area as did Mitch Wills of M&R Construction.

Both said they were looking at building living accommodations geared towards senior living.

Carnochan and Labelle’s proposal consisted of one four to five unit attached building to run along fuller Street and one four to five unit attached building to run along Second Avenue.

The Wills brother’s proposal consisted of four single detached homes running along fuller Street and a four unit building in behind the community garden off Second Avenue.

Members of the

public again expressed concern over how either proposal might affect drainage in the area and were informed the projects might actually help with that. Members of the public expressed a concern that if either proposal went forward, no public green space would remain.

Other members of the public said they would have liked to have heard more substantial information come out of the meeting.

Both Wills and Carnochan explained they hadn’t had time to put anything really complicated together as they had only had a short window of opportunity to make a proposal adding it didn’t make sense to spend money on more complex plans unless either one of them was granted the property.

Council did not make a decision on the property at the meeting.

Sioux Lookout Mayor Dennis Leney said he expects the matter to come forward at the May regular meeting of council.

Home is where the heart is, for sure

i drive a pickup truck. The side mirrors stick out a fair distance from the truck body. i take some pride, when going approaching the pickup window of a drive-through, in sliding gracefully and smoothly with my mirror an inch or so from the building, to minimize the distance the bag of burgers has to be handed through.

The side mirrors on Mary’s car hardly extend out at all. i never thought of that until i drove up and stopped at the customs booth at the border coming back into Canada. i smiled proudly through my

open window, passport in hand, at the officer and yodelled out a happy “Good morning.”

Officer, frowning, bluntly, “Why did you pull up so close to the building?”

Me, air out of my balloon, puzzled, “So you wouldn’t have to stretch to reach our passports.”

Officer, gruffly, “How am i supposed to get out of here?”

Me, leaning slightly forward, peering out the side window, attempting my best Stan Laurel face while biting my cheek to keep from laughing as i saw the three inches of air between us, “i can pull forward a bit and

manoeuver around a bit.”Officer, still gruff,

not needing to bite the inside of his cheeks to maintain a straight face, “You’re almost hitting the building. Just put it in Park.”

A few questions and we were on our way. No big problem.

As usual, we had a few “Oops. i’m wearing the fox hat” moments (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNHXfviVb8i) but we did eventually end up where we wanted to be, with good friends from Sioux Lookout who moved to British Columbia 11 years ago. Some of you will remember Bill and Robin Dawes. You may notice that Robin is quite an avid bird watcher, so i ended up buying a high quality set of binoculars (holy cow - what a difference from the ones i’ve been using) and we spent a

marvelous afternoon in the Okanagan spring air seeing at least a dozen birds that don’t come to Northwestern Ontario.

i do look like a tourist with binoculars and camera dangling from my neck. Very nerdy. fun.

After seeing my bare face in pictures and the mirror, and telling everybody, “This isn’t really me” (actually, i tell that to the face in the mirror, too) i believe the

beard may come back when we get home.

As i sit in the shade of the Rhododendrons in Port Townsend, Washington, peeking at the snow on my webcam at home (www.dickshideaway.com), i wish i were there...

Home in Sioux Lookout again after two weeks of fantastic travels. The fox hat is stored away. The face fuzz has sprouted. There’s no place i’d rather be.

As you read this, we will all be very close to hearing what’s in store for Ontarians in terms of the provincial budget. This year’s budget will be tabled at the same time that Hydro One rates are set to climb again, and on the heels of recently inflated prices for much of what is essential to living in Northwestern Ontario. As i write this column, gasoline has just jumped by at least 12

cents a litre in parts of the region; the cost of home and vehicle insurance has increased by as much as 10 percent and natural gas has risen by nearly 30 percent. Heating oil, propane and groceries have all followed suit – all while pay raises have been minimal or non-existent for the average NWO resident. These are the things we need to keep in mind when we take a careful look at this new budget.

As the MPP for this area, i am interested in looking at the whole package in terms of what is being tabled and whether the north is receiving fair consideration. Expenses that might be acceptable to those living in the southern-most parts of the province are often unmanageable for those in the north where we don’t have the option of turning the furnace down when it’s 40 or more degrees below zero or commuting to work on buses or trains. There are a number of things we should consider when the budget is tabled: How does the province’s

financial plan affect you personally and as a resident of Northwestern Ontario? Do you feel the government has listened to, and, more importantly, addressed the issues that so many have been quite vocal about for the past year? What do you feel is missing from the 2014 budget? is the budget a financial responsible proposal during these difficult times? To find out which issues i have been working on in the past few months, as well as to hear from you about the answers to some of these important questions, please take a look at my latest Riding

Report, which should be in your mailbox very soon. As always, i need to hear from you in order for me to represent you best. Budget time is even more critical as i will be relying on your direction to inform my decision of whether or not i should support this budget, or reject it and potentially bring us to an election. i truly need to hear what you have to say on the budget – or on any other issue they would like to discuss. Please feel free to stop in at any of my constituency offices or voice your concerns by telephone at 1-800-465-8501 or email [email protected].

Handi Transit AGMin 2009 after a couple

of years not being used the bus was back on the road. Based on information received from surveys the bus started operation Tuesday and friday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Diligence in tracking when passengers actually use the bus, listening to community members and making changes, now has the bus operating Monday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday and friday 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. This almost doubles the original hours of operation.

Two-thousand-thirteen was another year of change and challenge:

A new board member was recruited.

The 2012 AGM identified a need to increase hours of operation to better accommodate medical needs.

There was a decline in revenue previously available to Handi Transit. Making sure bus operation was adequate to community needs and comfortable while still being able to pay the bill.

The 2002 bus has been experiencing some issues. The Board is working closely with the property manager at CLD-SL (Community Living Dryden – Sioux Lookout) to resolve the issues in keeping this 12 year old bus safely on the road.

Requests for friends of Handi Transit in fall

2013 raised $6,182.03 by the end of 2013. We are thankful for the contributions and are hopeful that the 2013 shortfall can be recovered. At the December regular meeting of the Sioux Area Senior Activity Centre General Membership a motion to sponsor bus services for the regular card playing days was passed. These days are Monday and Thursday. Beginning January 2, 2014 the bus schedule was changed from Tuesday to Thursday to meet the criteria. Other days remain the same. We are assured of this funding until their year end of March 31 and it will be in their budget proposal for the balance of

the year. Statistics for the first

three months of 2014 show a significant and steady increase in passengers for the 55+ members of our community. The Board continues to monitor passenger needs and use, revenue, expense and bus maintenance along with planning for sustainability.

Community support is vital in keeping the bus operating. The board

is currently looking for additional sponsors to fund continued operations. Handi Transit has charitable status so receipts for income tax purposes are issued when contributions are received. Donations can be designated for current year operations or for the 2013 shortfall of $8,480.62.

Continued from frontMore than 1200

screens and diagnostic mammograms have been conducted at SLMHC.

The program is now ramping up and Maki said the hospital is trying to get the word out to the public.

Services are available Monday through friday.

Healthy women 40 and over Maki advised, should get a mammogram every two years.

The health centre advices, “Women aged

40 years and older are able to call our direct line at (807) 737-6579 to arrange an appointment for a breast screening mammogram. Women younger than 40 years of age will require a physician’s order.”

The health centre also wished to share, “Services are available to all women throughout our catchment area, saving time, travel and expense. We are able to offer the procedures, treatment and improved prognosis

for our patients through the early detection of breast cancer, “closer to home.”

“SLMHC was recently awarded accreditation status for the mammography program from the Canadian Association of Radiologists. The program is guided and supported by our radiologist, Dr. Neety Panu.”

Dr. Panu runs her own practice out of Thunder Bay where she reads digital images sent to her. She plans to come to Sioux Lookout twice a month.

Lisa Husak, President, Sioux Lookout Branch

Canadian Cancer Society, shared of the health centre

announcement, “from the Canadian Cancer Society’s perspective, we are very pleased to have the mammography unit in full operation. We know screening and early detection are key. We believe, making it convenient and easily accessible to have regular mammograms will encourage woman to do so, and in

return, save lives. Speaking from my own personal experience, it is (almost) a pleasure to make the five minute trip to the SLMHC, on an extended lunch hour, to have screening done when it used to require a day off work to travel to another community to be tested. for that, i am grateful.”

NEWS: Partnership to alleviate un-’bearable’ problem

A partnership between local volunteers and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) seems to be the solution to nuisance bears in town.

Representatives from the MNR, police and the town met last week to discuss the problem of black bears coming to town during the summer months.

At issue was who had jurisdiction over the bears...

NEWS: Litterbugs trash town’s image

DiSCARDED trash in and around town is giving Sioux Lookout a bad image and it’s high time the town got tough with litterbugs, an irate local man said

recently.Karl friesen said he’s tired of seeing litter in town and “crap in the ditches.”“But the roadways in town are the worst,” friesen said.And, in an area that depends heavily on the tourist trade, that gives visitors to

Sioux Lookout a bad impression of the town, he added”...

Don Burnstick brings in spring with laughter


fiRST Nations comedian Don Burnstick performed

at the Queen Elizabeth District High School gymnasium to an audience of 180 people last Saturday evening.

Burnstick, who is of Cree descent, was born in the Alexander first Nation reserve located outside of Edmonton, Alberta. He has been amusing

audiences across Canada for the past18 years and is no stranger to this area having performed in the newly opened Lac Seul Events Centre in the fall of 2013. Based on the response he received at the time he decided to tour Sioux Lookout. He shared, “it’s a hub. i have spent a lot of time at the airport and every time i come here people have always asked when am i going to do a show here. Tonight it’s nice to be here and i hope everyone enjoys the show.”

Speaking about his current tour he added, “What i do is regional tours. My last tour was through Saskatchewan and Alberta, i do 10 to 12 shows per tour and based on the fan base i have in Western Ontario, i decided to tour here. So far i have performed in Kenora,

Thunder Bay tomorrow night Sault Ste. Marie after that, fort francis then Winnipeg.”

The evening commenced with supporting comedian Nelson Mayer performing a quick paced, humorous warm up to the main event. He is a Métis from Winnipeg and has been touring with Burnstick for the past year .He commented on the tour, “it has been fantastic for me as i have been a fan for years and sharing a stage with Don is just awesome. i’m here to have fun and to enjoy the community. i hope everyone enjoyed the show.”

Burnstick then took to the stage and entertained the audience with a quick, witty dialogue utilizing many gestures and comic expressions. He invited those present to be part of the show and not just

spectators. Making good natured digs at both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, his repertoire covered a variety of subjects. These included Native women’s humour, the Lone Ranger, texting, mature age problems and the mysteries of sexual relationships which kept the crowd constantly amused throughout the show.

Afterwards he spoke about the night, “it was awesome. i love it when i hear people laugh,

Sioux Lookout is a great audience.” His wife Shelley added, “i think the night was

excellent. i heard lots of people laughing. for a small community we did extremely well. it’s nice to come where the fans are.”

Audience members were not disappointed Laura Semple said, “i really enjoyed the show and i couldn’t stop laughing.” Rhonda Conrad thought, “it was really good. Don is a really funny guy.”

Mary-Ann Ketchemonia enthused, “i really enjoyed it. Laughter is good for the soul.”

Burnstick concluded his show by stating, “i will be back for a special occasion in nine months…LOL.”

Anyone who would like to know more about Burnstick and where his shows are being held can visit his website donburnstick.com.

Theatre group performs at SHSGeoff ShieldsstAff Writer

STUDENTS from Grades 3 -7 gathered in the Sacred Heart

School gymnasium last Wednesday to watch a performance by the Roseneath Theatre Group of La Maleta (The Suitcase).

The play utilizes the themes of bullying and immigration and follows a young refugee’s journey to Canada told through the eyes of 10-year-old Roca who must leave her grandmother and flee her native Colombia to a place of safety. incorporating both Spanish and English the performance is designed to engage student’s imaginations. They gain insight into what a new student joining their class, who doesn’t speak their language, might be feeling and thinking and how he or she handles being bullied by the other students because he or she is different. Roca has developed an imaginary friend who is a Kogi Girl (the Kogi are an indigenous people of Colombia) who helps her to make the transition to life in Canada. Ultimately it is Roca’s new friendship with Paz, a boy in her class, who begins to help her unpack her situation and truly discover her new home. With the power of their imaginations they

go on an adventure inside the suitcase she brought with her which leads to important realizations about themselves.

During the performance the actors encouraged audience participation and at the conclusion they and Stage Manager Sandi Becker invited students to ask questions about what the play represented to them.

A special guide curriculum dealing with the individuals and

groups of the various cultures that have come to Canada, how they have contributed, and their backgrounds had been given to the children prior to the performance to help them to consider more deeply the central themes and questions explored in the play.

Becker spoke about their reception in Sioux Lookout, “it’s beautiful, gorgeous and we have had a great time, everyone is so warm and friendly.”

The children were invited to ask questions.

Don Burnstick entertained Sioux Lookout.

from Thunder Bay, Dryden, Oxdrift, Savant, Lake, Sioux Lookout and Lac Seul. With the success of this year’s show hopefully we can attract more exhibitors next year as we attempt to grow the show regionally.”

Cory Lago, President of the Sioux Lookout Anglers and Hunters stated, “We were asked by the Event Centre to come and sit on the committee as we had a good grip on community members and other businesses that would be involved in the outdoor activity. So we had a few different members sit on the committee giving their input and had other members volunteer their time to help create a positive and fun filled event for all the communities to enjoy.”

He added, “We have put in a booth for our club and we are also doing the archery range and the cross-cut saw and bow-

saw competitions. i am pleased to see the number of people who have attended and we will be here next year.”

Activities over the two day period included the Sioux Lookout Anglers and Hunters Archery Range, Trappers Pelt Prep for Profit, K9 Unit Demonstration, Crosscut and Bucksaw Competition, Boater’s Safety Course and Boater’s Safety Test.

On Saturday the Obishikokaang Public School Grades 7-8 students held a fish fry. Alanna Capar, Special Education TA, at the school explained, “The fish fry is a fundraiser for Grades7-8 to go on their class trip at the end of the year so all week the kids have been pulling up nets out of the lake, cleaning the fish and today they are cooking it. We have Walleye, Whitefish, Jackfish and they have also smoked some as well. i think the event is wonderful in promoting the arena and i hope to

see it again next year.”Sandy Zinger from

Zinger’s Hunter Hideouts in Dryden said, “it’s that time of the year and we go to all of the shows. This is very well organized, good turnout and we are already looking forward to next year’s Lac Seul show.”

Adam McCarty from the Lac Seul Training Centre of Excellence was optimistic,

“i think it’s a great event and it will constantly grow year on year. it’s good to see lots of vendors and options for people in the arena to explore.”

John and Gertrud Belanger, owners of Bow Jangles in Thunder Bay, were impressed, “it seems like a really awesome venue. We have met lots of interesting people. i heard about the show through a friend of mine who makes bows who lives in Lac Seul so we decided to come and check it out for ourselves.”

Local musical talent showcased at Legion


LAST friday evening saw the debut of Open

Stage at the Legion, which was attended by

over 60 musicians and guests. Local musicians Yvonne Wood, Mel Stewart and Klaus Rossler, who have for some time been driving to Dryden to jam at their fortnightly Café event, started to think about the idea of holding something similar in Sioux Lookout.

Rossler commented, “We were travelling to Dryden to play and the idea occurred to us about starting something in town as we thought that Sioux Lookout needed a music venue where local musicians could perform publicly amongst friends and fellow musicians. We approached the Legion, who were receptive to the idea, mailed as many musicians in the area as we could find and were amazed at the number of people who expressed interest in the project.”

The music during the course of the evening

varied from folk, free-form jazz, rock and included a five-piece country band from Dryden called Borderline and performance’s from local musicians that included Doug Vinkle, Rossler, Wood, Stewart, Reilly Scott, Greg Hlady and Barry McLoughlin.

Rossler spoke about the night, “it’s was spontaneous, full of purpose, nothing was rehearsed. People came from Dryden to play and listen, it was a fun night and i was very happy with the response and we are grateful to the Legion for supplying the venue.”

The evening ended with three young rock guitarists from Sioux Lookout. Wood thanked everyone for attending. Audience member Rosalyn Sanchez commented, “i thought it went well.”

The organizers plan to hold Open Stage at the end of each month.

PFFNHS celebrates academic and athletic success of students at annual awards banquet


WE L L -D R E S S E D s t u d e n t s

accepted awards for hard work and perseverance and applauded their peers at the Pelican falls first Nations High School Academic and Athletic Awards Banquet April 25. Prom followed the awards banquet.

Waneek Horn-Miller provided opening remarks.

The guest speaker from the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory near Montreal co-captained the Canadian Women’s Water Polo Team at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in the same year.

She told students she began to dream her Olympic dream at the age of seven.

She told students she has been greatly inspired throughout her life by her mother, Native Rights Activist Kahn-Tineta Horn.

Her mother she said, encouraged her children to be warriors.

Horn-Miller said her mother encouraged her and her siblings to put 100 per cent into everything they did.

She also spoke of other Aboriginal sports heroes who inspired her such as Alwyn Morris who won a gold medal in Kayak at the 1984 Olympics and who is from her community.

She has also been inspired by Billy Mills who won the Olympic 10,000 metres in 1964.

“Don’t be afraid to fall. You always have people to help you back up again,” she said.

This message she said, comes from personal experience.

Horn-Miller shared with students how as a child she had been stabbed by a Canadian solider during the Oka Crisis and was told by doctors the wound was so near her heart she was lucky to be alive.

Already excelling at athletics at the time, she thought about quitting after this incident but was inspired by her

mother to persevere.Ten years to the day

she was stabbed she went on to represent Canada at the Olympic Games.

“We don’t come from a people that are quitters. We don’t come from a people that are lazy,” she told students.

She encouraged students to dream and then to follow those dreams and so inspire the next generation.

Over the course of the evening students were recognized for academic and athletic excellence and potential graduating students were honoured.

to engage in activities that included jumping over ropes, skipping and jumping through hoops.

School Principal Susan MacLellan spoke about the day,

“This is one the kids can relate to. i like the idea that they are having fun while supporting a healthy lifestyle and supporting research to the Heart and Stroke foundation and what i really like is seeing the older kids helping the younger ones in their activities.” She concluded, “Practically every family knows someone who has had a stroke or has heart disease. Participation is

voluntary on students’ part and we always get a wonderful response each year. Prizes are given each year to the children, the size of which depends on the amount of money they raise. We usually achieve high amounts and one year we raised $12,000. i would also like to commend Jillian Perron-Davies on her organizing skills and the amount of time and effort she put into making the day a success.”

Perron-Davies added, “Everybody did a real good job fundraising and i am sure we are going to raise lots of money.”

Fundraiser held to aid homeless animalsGeoff ShieldsstAff Writer

A fundraising sale of household items, clothes, books,

entertainment items and assorted cakes and pastries was held by the Second Chance Pet Network at the Nishnawabe-Gamik friendship Centre last Saturday morning. Money raised will go towards the sheltering of homeless animals and a program offered by the network

to control the feral cat population.

Volunteer Christine Stever was the originator of this year’s garage sale and she spoke about the aims of the organization, “We are a group that raises money for animals that need homes by providing shelter for them. We also work towards controlling the feral cat problem by making people aware of the importance of keeping

the animal population under control. in keeping with this policy, we offer a low cost spaying and neutering program.”

She added, “The turnout today was awesome. So many people turned up to support us by buying the items on sale. i would like to thank the community for their continued support. The animals thank you too.”

The organization will

be setting up a booth at the next Sioux Lookout farmers Market. in August they will be holding a dog run.

More information about Second Chance Pet Network is available on their website secondchancepetnetwork.ca.

“We would also like to thank Brenda Dovick for her time and the use of the friendship Centre,” Stever said.

Rail Safety an issue in Municipality of Sioux LookoutGeoff Shields stAff Writer

fROM April 28 to May 4, Canada will celebrate Rail Safety

Week under the theme See Tracks? Think Train!

CN Police will mark Rail Safety Week with a public awareness campaign aimed at reducing the number of trespassing and crossing related accidents. in addition, the police force

is asking the public to help save lives by calling CN Police at 1-800-465-9239 to report unsafe behaviour on railway property. Throughout the week, CN Police will conduct safety initiatives at commuter stations and railway crossings across Canada and the United States.

Although no activities are planned by the CN for Sioux Lookout, the public

should be aware of the danger that can be incurred crossing local railway tracks.

Sioux Lookout OPP Staff Sergeant Nathan Schmidt spoke about rail safety, “Every year we either have an injury or a fatality involving trains and the majority of the occurrences involve pedestrians on the railroad track and a lot of times they are looking

for shortcuts to get to a location. The trains often look like they are going slower than they really are, Northwestern Ontario has lots of curves in the tracks and people are not often prepared.”

He continued,“ We have laid a number of railway safety act charges and we issued 42 charges in 2013 under the Railway Safety Act. All of these were related

to people trespassing on CN property. We have also had collisions with vehicles over the last couple of years and these happened at controlled and uncontrolled crossings with a majority of the times resulting in a fatality.”

Schmidt concluded, “We fully support the CN police and we have an excellent working relationship and we support each other when we are dealing with

incidents in and around the railway track.”

Mayor Denis Leney stated, “i would hope that the city of Sioux Lookout takes note that this is Railway Safety Week and that all citizens will remember that to cross over the CN line is trespassing and it is enforced by the CN Police and the OPP.”

He added, “Remember any time is train time.”

Memories & Celebrations of Life

Minor hockey stars honoured for shining seasonTim Brody

AssociAte editor

THE Sioux Lookout Minor Hockey A s s o c i a t i o n

(SLMHA) celebrated it’s Midget, Bantam, Peewee and Atom leagues with a special awards banquet on April 23 at the Legion.

League President Angie forbes opened the evening by stating minor hockey runs on the backs of volunteers.

She stated the association is in need of more volunteers to help out with all facets of the organization.

“i cannot stress how important it is that every face in this room make a conscious effort to step forward willingly now because without your support minor hockey doesn’t happen,” she said. The league will hold their AGM on May 7 at the Lamplighter Motel at 7 p.m.

She thanked volunteers within the organization for their contributions throughout the past season.

Past-President of the association Steve forbes then honoured longtime SLMHA volunteer George Samuel for his years of commitment to the organization.

He called Samuel a trail blazer and said he had worn just about every hat in the

organization.“George has seen a lot

of hockey come and go and has spent literally thousands of volunteer hours in cold arenas across Northwestern Ontario over the several decades he’s been involved with minor hockey. Think about that for a moment, several decades of volunteering for hockey.

“Without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to announce that from this point forward, the trainer of the year award, which was awarded at the last banquet… will now be known as the George Samuel Trainer of the Year Award.”

Samuel received a standing ovation, then humbly accepted the honour with a simple thank you.

Last year the SLMHA named its most improved referee award after longtime referee Rob favot.

Sara Bye received the Coach of the Year Award.

A glowing letter of recommendation extolled her fairness, dedication and coaching skill and spirit of fun.

flyers AA Bantam Team received a special plaque and team members received medals.

The Marie & Zeke favot Memorial Award sponsored by the Cummine and Samuel families for Most Promising female Skater went to Natania Dubroy at the Atom level and MacKenzie Pettit at the Peewee level.

Sioux Lookout Jr. flyers AA Bantam Team Head Coach Karl Schulz said his team had perhaps the most successful year in minor hockey history putting together a record of 25 wins, four losses and one tie.

He shared, “We won three tournaments and were runner up in the other two. This team is a culmination of five years of work when the kids were just starting minor

hockey at the Atom level. We worked really hard and put a lot of time into them. We were the doormats for a long time, teams wanted to get us in the draw because it was an easy win. Those days have changed and now teams don’t want to play us.”

He continued, “This year we beat the top team out of the Eastern Manitoba League, we beat all the teams in Thunder Bay, we beat fort frances, Kenora, Dryden, from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay and as far as south as fort frances we’re the 2014 Northwestern Ontario Champions.”

The all boy team is made up of players 14 to 15 years of age.

Schulz stated, “We proudly wore the Sioux Lookout emblem all year and turned a lot of heads. i’ve been getting phone

calls like crazy from summer teams looking for our guys. i was just proud to be a part of it.”

He explained that other teams in other communities can pick

from pools of 50 or more kids to try out for the team. With Sioux Lookout’s Bantam AA team no cuts were made and coaches worked with the players they had.

Schulz said he was especially proud of the way the team pulled together.

“We had it all. We had the best goaltenders in the area, we had the

best goal scorers, we had guys that could check, we were all defensive minded. i would get comments from other coaches saying, you’ve got a little bit of everything,” he said.

The depth of the team’s bench meant there were no weak lines on the team and players could be mixed up to run special teams plays.

“We improved in small steps, but you also have to look at the commitment of the parents, the thousands of dollars, the thousands of miles travelling. That’s a huge commitment to their kids,” Schulz added.

About half of the team is moving on to try out for even higher levels.

The team will retain a solid core of veteran players to work with upcoming players.

“We never measured success by wins and losses; it was all about developing the work ethic and character. The kids set the goals to win themselves,” Schulz concluded.

Brett Martin receives the Roy Lane Most Sportsmanlike Player – Peewee Division Award from Coach of the Year Sara Bye.

SLMHA President Angie Forbes and Andy Schardt representing QEDHS look on as Ty Waite is presented with the Norman K Snyder Memorial Trophy for Most Outstanding Forward by his father, SLMHA Vice-President Stephen Waite.

Sara Bye presents Peewee player MacKenzie Pettit with the Marie and Zeke Favot Memorial Award for Most Promising Female Skater along with special honouree George Samuel for whom the Trainer of the Year Award will now be named after.
