Beach contamination problem lingers as Victoria Day approaches

Shayla BradleyStaff Writer

WITH the Victoria Day long weekend approaching, the

traditional start to warm-weather fun for many, Sioux Lookout’s town beach is still out of commission in various areas.

The Municipality of Sioux Lookout shut down the town dock and beach for the first time September 25, 2015 in response to the appearance of an unknown contaminant on the sand. The town issued information April 21 of this year, indicating that contamination is still an issue.

So far there has been little

progress in updating the public about the contamination, or taking steps to open the beach for public use.

“We are still reviewing information and working with our partners,” said Brian MacKinnon, municipal deputy clerk and communications manager, on May 11. “I anticipate that we will have an update around mid to late next week.”

The town dock installation will not take place until late May or early June, according to recreation and culture assistant manager Jennalea Landry. Avccording to Bulletin records of dock installment

Local cadets host annual review, high-ranking dignitaries


THE 906 Machin Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron and 2072

Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps came together in Sioux Lookout May 11, celebrating a year of accomplishments at their annual ceremonial review.

This has been a particularly exciting year for the Sioux Lookout and Lac Seul cadets, as they will be amalgamating into a single standalone unit. Previously both programs existed as satellite squadrons.

The annual ceremonial review provides an opportunity for cadets to display what they have learned in training over the past year,

with family, friends, and guests present.

At this year’s review, Sioux Lookout hosted two important dignitaries. Lt.-Col. Matthew Richardson, commanding officer of the 3rd Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, and Lt.-Col. R.A. Evans, commanding officer for the central regional cadet support unit, attended reviews across Northwestern Ontario.

Lt.-Col. Evans recognized members of local cadet leadership for being instrumental in keeping the program alive, seeking sponsors and securing community support, and building lasting community relationships.

During the awards portion

of the review, cadet Tristan Bouchard received the Sioux Lookout esprit des corps award, for having demonstrated a great amount of effort and dedication throughout the year.

Lt.-Col. Evans lauded the cadets and leadership for their accomplishments.

“What a fantastic demonstration of drill and dress tonight,” she praised, saying it was apparent each of the cadet groups had come together as a strong, cohesive team contributing to their combined successes.

Without the strong partnership of community sponsors the cadet program would not be possible, added Lt.-Col. Evans, noting she

Local ladies shine in NLCT presentation of Steel Magnolias

Tim BrodyaSSociate editor

SIX Sioux Lookout women spent months practising

to bring the characters from Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling to life for three nights at Queen Elizabeth District High School last week.

The performance, attended by more than 350 people, was presented by Northern Lights Community Theatre.

Set in the United States in the late 1980s, StageAgent.com outlines the play as follows: “Truvy Jones runs

a successful beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies in the neighborhood have a standing Saturday appointment.

“Along with her anxious and eager assistant, Annelle, Truvy styles the hair of many of the women about town: wealthy widow and former first lady of Chinquapin, Clairee Belcher, local curmudgeon Ouiser Boudreaux (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for 40 years”), intelligent and compassionate career

woman M’Lynn, and her daughter Shelby, the prettiest girl in town.

“Shelby’s engagement is the talk of the town, but the joy and excitement of her wedding quickly turn to concern as she faces a risky pregnancy and a myriad of health complications. Eventually, when Shelby dies from complications related to her diabetes, M’Lynn has to deal with the most difficult of life’s challenges: the loss of one’s only child.

“As the women of Chinquapin make their ways over life’s many

More than 350 people attended the performance over its three evening run.

hurdles together, they find comfort (and a fair amount of verbal ribbing) in one another. “You have no idea how wonderful you are,” M’Lynn tells the ladies at the end of the play. Truvy responds, with a smile, “Of course we do.”’

The performance was directed by Anita Webster who also took on the role of M’Lynn in the performance.

“They went fantastically. I couldn’t be more pleased,” she said following the trio of performances.

“A lot of people were saying how much they laughed, how much they cried. Some people said they thought this was the best show that we have

done so far, so that was really great.”

She said she was challenged to both direct and act.

“As much as I love directing, I also love being on stage as well and I thought maybe this time, with this strong group of ladies, I could do it.”

When choosing the play, she said the theatre company’s board of directors was looking at plays that featured more women as they find they have more women than men audition for roles.

Having done comedies in the past, they decided this time to give drama a try.

Nikki Holt took on the role of Shelby in the performance.

“I was a little intimidated at first because that’s Julia Roberts’ role in the movie… I was really excited to be cast as Shelby. Her character is fun. She’s kind of spunky. She’s got a lot of attitude and she just has a really deep care for other people. It was exciting and interesting to put myself in that role,” Holt said.

This was her second performance with the theatre company.

Having danced competitively for 15 years and having been on the Edmonton Oilers Octane cheer team, Holt wanted to give acting a try and jumped at the opportunity provided by Northern Lights

Community Theatre.She added, “The

story of Steel Magnolias covers such a diverse assortment of sensitive topics, and handles them with humour, reminding us that even when life get serious we should not get too bogged down in the intensity of things and instead keep a strong hold to laughter and friendships.

“It’s an amazing story about women, the inner strength that women possess, and the important support that female friendships offer. It was an honour to portray that with my fellow actresses. It was wonderful from beginning to end, from January to now, to see

each actress evolve into their character and perfect the unique qualities of these big personalities.”

Donna Giles took on the role of Clairee in the production.

She echoed Holt’s comments, stating, “It was a script that was really strong and we all in some way or another connected with the characters and the fact that women are supporting each other in friendship through difficult times in life.”

The production has been in the works since January.

Giles shared, “It was fun after all that time to perform for a live audience and have the

response we did. We made people laugh and we made people cry. It was wonderful to have such a supportive audience as well. When we were on stage I think we really felt the gratitude.”

All three women thanked the rest of the production’s cast and crew for the work they put into the show and audience members for coming out.

They encouraged others to give theatre a try.

Census vital for helping government plan public services

From coast to coast, millions of Canadians have already filled out the 2016 Census. After a 10-year hiatus, we followed through on our promise to bring back the mandatory long-form census so we can make informed decisions on public services. The census

plays a very important role in our policy-making and helps guide us in our decisions.

This information helps us in our decision making process to provide a 21st Century framework for health care, education, cultural programming, and seniors to meet the needs of today. While the previous government saw it as invasive, our

government sees it as a way to be accountable to Canadians.

By now, you should have received it in the mailbox at your residence. If you haven’t though, there’s no need to panic. Those who haven’t completed their forms will get reminders. In the third week of May, paper questionnaires will be sent to non-responding households. Starting in June, census enumerators begin door-to-door follow-ups with non-responders, calling or visiting households until the forms are submitted.

Of course, it’s been very encouraging to see how many Canadians are enthusiastic to fill out the census. The Stats Canada website actually crashed on the first day, due to so many people logging on to complete it online. I’ve also seen all the Twitter and Instagram photos of people disappointed they didn’t get the long form. It’s pretty clear that many people are happy to see the government gathering data to help formulate evidence-based policy.

Canadians without an Internet access at home, can request a paper

questionnaire at 1-855-699-2016 and enter their 16-digit secure access code. If respondents are still having difficulties, they can call the Census Help Line at 1-855-700-2016.

If you have not received a census, feel free to contact our office at 1-866-710-0008 and we will submit your name to have one re-sent to you. I’d like to thank everyone who’s already taken the time to fill it out. By completing the census you’re helping us make better decisions for the future of your community.

In case of evacuation, how can we protect

our homes?How can we prepare

for the fallout of extreme weather events which are occurring with alarming frequency as a result of climate change?

In the event Sioux Lookout faces a situation similar to the residents of Fort McMurray, I wrote a letter last week sharing information from the Weather Network and other sites, about preparing ourselves by assembling an emergency kit. Basically, we need to keep on hand and ready to go, three days’ supply of food, medicines, clothing, for each person in the household, copies of important papers, and a list of valuables and where they can be retrieved easily. Keep your gas tank at least half full and a supply of cash.

But what about protecting our houses that we leave behind? If time allows there are a few steps you can take to increase the chance of your home remaining safe if we are evacuated because of

fire.The following are suggestions:

Shut all windows and doors, leaving them unlocked- this allows the fire department ease of egress. • Leave your lights on so firefighters can see your house under smoky conditions• Shut off air conditioning• Turn off propane tanks• Move propane and BBQ appliances away from structures• Connect garden hoses to outside water valves but do not turn them on as this may impact pressure needed elsewhere. Fill buckets with water if you have them. Leave ladders accessible for firefighters.• Remove any exterior flammable materials such as awnings. Remove flammable material from inside such as curtains, and move furniture to centre of rooms.• Plan what to do with pets and larger animals• If you decide to leave before an evacuation order is issued, let someone know.

Here is an article prepared in Thunder Bay with more detail on how you can prepare yourself for any emergency. http://www.thunderbay.ca/Living/Public_Safety/Emergency_Planning.htm

Education re: Service Dogs

I am an elderly person suffering from Diabetes and Parkinson’s Disease. I have a mixed breed dog (Poodle and French Bichon). He is seven years old. For three years he served as a therapy dog for GTA and has seen over 1500 people in the hospital and William George center.

Many times over the three years he brought to my attention that my sugar levels had either dropped below 4 or above 20 by touching his nose to my lips. One day, coming from town, he put one paw on my shoulder, one paw on the steering wheel and his nose to my mouth. He refused to get down. When I got home I took my sugar level which

was 3.4. The doctor was not pleased when I saw him. He told me I should have immediately got off the road and taken the keys out of ignition as I could have gone into a coma and killed either myself or someone else. He said, “Listen to your dog!” I then decided to certify him as a service dog.

In the last year he has travelled with me (on my lap) via West Jet to Southern Ontario and Via West Jet and Via Rail to B.C. We went into many restaurants and bars and grocery stores and never was I asked to remove my dog from the premises.

One only has to read his jacket to recognize his service. If in doubt, ask for his certificate which he carries in his jacket pocket.

This week after church I went into a restaurant here in town and even after many explanations I was told point blank that no service dog was allowed and to leave. I requested management, then the owner finally took my papers to the kitchen. When he came

back he handed me my papers and said okay. I was served a cup of coffee.

The other patrons were embarrassed. The waitress was embarrassed and so were the ladies at my table.

His main concern seemed to be allergies. I have never heard of a dog allergy causing death. Correct me if I’m wrong, but there have been comas, blindness, and even death from sudden a drop in sugar.

I do not wish to cause any business problems or embarrassment. I refused to leave and I refused to hide my dog as requested under the table out of sight. I simply wish to inform people that I and my dog have rights and deserve respect. I apologize for any embarrassment I may have caused at the Mother’s Day brunch. Please don’t push service dogs into the dark. We need more of them for little girls with surgeries, people with disabilities, and many more illnesses that people suffer.

Respectfully,P. Henrikson

Government offers fresh new focus on the

environmentLike any other lake

dweller I can’t wait to see the first signs of summer. The ice is long gone and the temperature doesn’t dip below zero overnight.

Here in northern Ontario we are outdoor people. Sure, we spend the week hard at work but on weekends it’s our time to take advantage of this beautiful area

we call home. Hiking, fishing, hunting, swimming, camping, biking, really anything that can be done outside. Of course, none of this would be possible without the environment we live in. That’s why I am proud to see our government investing in the environment and green technology.

Budget 2016 allocated $19.5 million over five years, for the study of four major water basins,

including the Lake of the Woods watershed. The International Joint Commission will be looking into issues surrounding flooding, variable water levels, and water quality to protect the local environment and the communities that depend on that watershed.

The government also announced $197.1 million over five years for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, to increase

ocean and freshwater science, monitoring and research activities, and to provide support for the Experimental Lakes Area. This investment will support new and

expanded research activities to promote the health of fish stocks and sustainable aquaculture, enable monitoring of the impacts of aquatic

pollution, and enhance our knowledge of freshwater ecosystems.

On a broader scale, we’ll also be investing $3.4 billion to address climate change and air pollution, protect ecologically sensitive areas, and restore public trust in the environmental assessment processes.

Unfortunately, as we see in the extreme weather patterns, the effects of climate change

are already having a devastating impact on the environment. That’s why we committed $129.5 million to build the science base which will help strengthen the resilience of our communities against the impacts of climate change.

This government takes the environment and climate change seriously. We only have one planet Earth and moving elsewhere is not an option. I want future generations to enjoy lake living just as much as I do. While it may seem daunting, helping the environment needs to start somewhere, and I’m pleased to say it’ll be with our government.

KDSB receives provincial funding for energy efficient retrofits


KENORA District Services Board (KDSB) is

allocating $46,279 in provincial funding to a project that will improve energy efficiency in social housing units in Sioux Lookout. The project cost is over $100,000. The provincial

funding is coming from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing through its Green Investment Fund.

Ten houses in Sioux Lookout will be retrofitted with replacement furnaces, baseboard heaters, and water heaters.

“This initiative brings needed upgrades to

older, energy inefficient homes to reduce energy costs and better serve tenants, while helping Ontario meet the climate challenges of today and tomorrow,” said Ted McMeekin, municipal affairs and housing minister.

Both the social housing electrical efficiency program

and the social housing apartment retrofit program were announced by the ministry in February 2016, and service managers were invited to submit business cases for funding.


Sioux Lookout woman educating public on importance of service dogsTim Brody

aSSociate editor

AN elderly Sioux Lookout woman is looking to

put a positive spin on a negative experience.

Phyllis Henrikson is accompanied everywhere she goes by her trusted service dog Buddy, who proudly sports a service dog harness complete with his training certification.

Henrikson suffers from diabetes as well as Parkinson’s disease.

Buddy alerts her when her blood sugar gets too low or too high.

He also assists her in her day to day life, allowing her to maintain her independence.

On Mother’s Day, Henrikson and some friends from church were out for brunch and she was initially told she could not bring her service dog with her into the establishment. After showing the dog’s papers and explaining the nature of the dog, she was

allowed to keep the dog with her.

The incident instilled in Henrikson a desire to share information about her service dog and why he is so important to her.

Originally trained as a therapy dog, Buddy visited Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre patients for three and a half years.

He is now a full-time service dog for Henrickson due to her ailments.

“He can pick up on when my blood sugar is high or low,” she said. “If it goes below four or above 20, then he’ll let me know… He gets up on me and touches his nose to my lips and he’ll continue doing that until I go and get my machine. Once I go and get my blood machine then he’ll settle down.”

Buddy also assists her in other ways.

“If the phone rings and I don’t hear it, he’ll draw my attention to it. If the cats want in, he’ll draw

my attention to that. If my blood pressure is really high he’ll nudge me. He’ll get up and sit close to me and keep wanting to be really near me.

“When I’m going down the stairs he goes down one step at a time to make sure that I’m okay before he takes the next step. Coming up, he assists me by pulling me… I couldn’t live out there (on Highway 72) if I didn’t have him. He makes it so that I’m able to live in my own home.”

He will also alert her if she should not be driving.

“This is why he is so important,” she said. “It’s so important to get across to the public that they are not pets. They are not dogs. They are… medical equipment is about the only way I can describe it. Because of the fact that they are so necessary, people have to be educated to know about service dogs and how important they are.

“My dog and I have rights so we should be treated with dignity and respect,” she said.

“I have had him down east for three weeks and out west for two weeks. We’ve been on the ferry. We’ve been in bars, in restaurants, in grocery stores, Walmart, you name it, and never had a problem… I’ve had him all over.

“Wherever I go, he goes. Whether it’s the bank, whether it’s a restaurant, I’ve never had any problem. So I finally ran into someone who does not understand the quote “service dogs.” It’s important to educate,” she shared.

As his master was interviewed, Buddy quietly remained under the table resting upon his master’s coat.

“He’s really good that way. Unless something’s wrong, he’s very quiet,” Henrikson said.

She added, “I don’t want to embarrass anyone. I don’t want to cause anyone problems. I just want people to understand that they are so necessary.”

According to the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Employment & Infrastructure, the Customer Service Standard of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requires organizations with one or more employees to: * Allow a person with a disability to be accompanied by a guide dog or other service animal on those parts of the premises that the public and other third parties have access to, except where the animal is excluded by another law from the premises; * Ensure that other measures are available to enable a person with a disability to access the provider’s goods or services where a service animal is excluded by another law (i.e. Ontario Regulation 562 under the Health Protection and Promotion Act, 1990 states that animals are not allowed in places where food is manufactured, prepared, processed, handled, served, displayed, stored, sold or offered for sale. This only pertains to food preparation areas. * Train certain employees,

volunteers and others described in the regulation about how to interact with people using guide dogs or other service animals. The ministry notes, “For an animal to be considered a service animal, it must either be readily apparent that the animal is being used for reasons related to a person’s disability (e.g., if the animal is wearing a vest identifying it as a service animal), or the person with a disability may provide a letter from a physician or nurse confirming that they need the animal due to their disability. People who use guide dogs may also provide a card issued by the Ministry of the Attorney General under the Blind Persons’ Rights Act.”

The Lions Foundation of Canada Purina Walk for Dog Guides is coming up on May 29 at Sioux Mountain School, something Henrikson was glad to hear.

“Good. That’s what we need; more publicity, to bring it to everyone’s attention,” she said, adding the quality of life Buddy brings her is priceless.

Lion’s Club member Lisa Larsh agreed with Henrikson.

“The independence is amazing, the level of independence a person can have when they have one of these dogs and

kids too, when you look at the autism dogs, some kids couldn’t even go out in public and now they can, or they wouldn’t speak and now all of a sudden they’re speaking because they’re speaking to the dog. It’s absolutely amazing,” Larsh said.

The fundraising walk raises funds for the Lions Foundation of Canada to breed, raise, train, and then place, six different kinds of service dogs.

Larsh said it costs $25,000 for each dog to go through that process.

There is zero cost to recipients for a service dog.

The Lions Foundation of Canada trains dogs in Canine vision, hearing ear, service, seizure response, autism assistance, and diabetic alert.

This year’s walk is in memory of Jennifer Fenelon, a colleague of Larsh’s who had planned to apply for a seizure response dog.

People can do the approximate two kilometre walk with or without a dog.

The walk begins at 2 p.m. and people are asked to register prior to the start.

Second Chance Pet Network will also be hosting a barbeque at the event.

People can present a favourite picture of their dog for a chance to win a prize.

Anyone who would like to find out more about the walk can contact Larsh at 807-737-7337 or visit www.purinawalkfordogguides.com.

Taxes for Sioux Lookout - 2016 Advertorial Paid For By The 0% Tax Increase Coalition

Municipal Taxes

The 0% Tax Increase Coalition picked up a copy of the Town of Sioux Lookout’s final budget dated April 20th 2016 and was annoyingly surprised. It seems the Council and Mayor increased the expenditures from the previous Town Hall meeting by almost $200,000 dollars. In addition on the first page of the budget the Town shows its “2016 Tax Increase at 2.4770%. The above facts continue to show the total disregard for the concerns of over 1800 petitioners who wanted a 0% tax increase. Further, the Town publishing its 2016 Tax increase as 2.4770% is very misleading.

According to the Town of Sioux Lookout’s final budget the taxpayers of this community are being told to pay an increase of 7.1% residential, 13.9% commercial, 7.3% industrial and a tax reduction of 2.5% for Multi residential versus what they paid in 2015. These tax levies together with the 2016 hospital taxes of $6,000, the School’s portion to the Town of $67,135 and the railroad tax of $16,283, drive the total tax levy (Town’s revenue) for 2016 to $9,950,117 compared to $9,180,555 in 2015. In total the Town will receive $769,562 more dollars than what it spent in 2015, making the tax increase for Sioux Lookout to be 8.4%

The Town’s 2016 “Tax Increase” of 2.4770% statement covers only the Mil Rate for Municipal purposes. There is a second mil rate for education that is applied to all of the 39 different taxable categories. Looking at the Mil Rate for Municipal Purposes the highest mil rate at .04907369 is for Industrial property and the lowest of .01865920 is for

Residential and Commercial properties are charged rates of either .03248006 or .02273605%. The added education mil rate which varies from.01180000 to .00826000 is not considered in the Town’s overall “Tax Increase.” However this second mil rate does impact the tax levy of 99% of the tax payers.

Municipal Taxes are determined by a formula where the mil rate for Municipal Purposes (or as the Town of Sioux Lookout calls it the effective tax rate) is multiplied by MPAC’s assessed property value, plus the mil rate for Education, multiplied by MPAC’s assessed value will equal the taxes that are due or otherwise known as the tax levy.

Recently a concerned tax payer who just received his MPAC statement, stated that his current property MPAC assessment of $224,000 will increase by $111,000 over the next 4 years; $27,750 each year for the next 4 years (2017 through 2020). In 2016 this tax payer will pay .0186592 (the Town’s residential tax rate (mil rate) X the 2016 assessed MPAC valuation of $224,000 plus the education mil rate of .00188000 X the 2016 assessed MPAC valuation of $224,000, together will equal $4,599.00 in a residential tax levy. Even if the mil rate for Municipal Purposes and the Education mil rate for 2016 remain the same in 2017 this tax payer will have a tax increase of $570.00 in 2017; near 13% due to just the MPAC assessment of increasing his property value from $224,000 to $251,750. And if the Town increases the mil rate for Municipal Purposes and or the Education mil rate again in 2017 this tax payer will be looking at a property tax levy greater than

13%. This is insane.

The statement by the Town of Sioux Lookout’s Mayor and Council that the “Effective Tax Increase” is 2.4770% can be seen as very misleading. The average homeowner in Sioux Lookout will be looking at an 8.4% increase in 2016 and some tax payers will be looking at 12 to 16% residential tax levy in the following years.

If you own commercial property in Sioux Lookout your tax increases for 2016 will be at least 14%.

Another reason as to why the Sioux Lookout 2016 “effective tax rate increase of 2.4770% is misleading is that other communities in Northwestern Ontario show their tax rate increases as a % of the Tax Levy and not as a % of the communities mil rate. When comparing these communities Kenora shows a tax levy of 3.0%, Red Lake 2.4%, Dryden 0%, Fort Frances 1.5% and if we add Sioux Lookout to this list the Town would show 8.4%. Sioux Lookout does not come anywhere close to what the rest of the region is doing in Taxes. Why?

Source for Fort Frances tax levy increase; http://www.fftimes.com/news/local/news/tax-hike-line-inflation

The 0% Tax Increase Coalition is concerned with the recent MPAC assessed values, however MPAC has been legislated to assess on market value. Also, MPAC has a process where each property owner can ask for a reconsideration of their assessed property values if they have legitimate reasons why they think their assessment is incorrect. More often than not, MPAC will lower an assessed value when presented with valid reasons. This is reasonable. It should state here that MPAC does not set the Municipal tax rates nor determine the tax revenues because the Municipalities are solely responsible.

The important note here is that the Town needs to recognize MPAC’s mission of moving towards market value on residential and commercial property. Traditionally property valuation for taxes was always lower than market value. This legislated change will have a major impact on property taxes for the foreseeable future and the town needs to adjust its tax rate (mil rate ) downward to accommodate the taxpayers in this community

The article for Kenora said that they’re facing a 6% increase in MPAC assessments and they managed to cut this increase in half to about 3%. The only way to do this is through a tax or mill rate decrease. The article for Red Lake also stated that the tax rate is going down and Dryden continues to show 0% increase again this year.

Based on the tax information from

the other communities the 0% Tax Increase Coalition makes the following recommendations to the Mayor, Council and CAO;

Recommendation #1; Sioux Lookout Town Council needs to improve its budget process transparency by discussing their tax levy increases as well as their Municipal and Education tax rate (mil rate). Sioux Lookout needs to also implement quarterly public meetings, at an appropriate sized venue to discuss topics transparently that will impact community members and the financial state of the community.

Recommendation #2; Sioux Lookout Mayor and CAO need to improve their transparency by allowing both delegations and members of the general public to actively participate in the budget process. Sioux Lookout should build a transparent process using the Thunder Bay and Fort Frances templates for 2017 and implement this budget process into the long term future. Transparency is a common, and mandated process in the municipal act and is practiced in surrounding communities and the negative public comments during the 2016 budget process indicates Sioux Lookout needs to provide more transparency and rely more on public input into their budget process going forward.

Recommendation #3; Sioux Lookout needs to consider tax rates of 0% or less to offset high increases in MPAC assessments such as other communities like Kenora and Red Lake have done.

The Mayor, Council and CAO need to understand that “transparency” implies being

so clear that objects can be seen distinctly.

When we refer to the 2016 budget process, the community’s concerns were about the cloudiness of the process related to operation and capital budget increases. The coalition is not assembled to make cuts to a library, or front line union workers, nor is it a goal of ours to reduce the functional capabilities of the community by imposing unworkable tax reductions. There are horrendous wage and benefit increases being placed in the budget that we do not see as transparent, there are business practices that are occurring that run large deficits creating significant tax rate increases, and when questions are asked of the CAO, Mayor, and even by some councillors to the reasoning why; these questions fall upon deaf ears.

RECOMMENDATION FOR THE COMMUNITY: It is clear that our current Mayor, CAO and council do not hear the demands from its authoritative constituents. Maybe it is time for the community to ask for resignations or maybe it’s time for the community to begin to prepare for the 2018 elections by looking for individuals in the community who are recognized as being responsive to the people and the community, and have knowledge to proceed in a way that fits the vision of the community as demanded by its members.

Twenty-five PFFNHS students graduate in 2015-16Shayla Bradley

Staff Writer

ANOTHER proud group of graduates has left the halls of

Pelican Falls First Nations High School, following their graduation ceremony May 4.

December 2015 graduates were Diana Bunting, Martina Fiddler, Byron Fox, and Morley Ledger. The May 2016 graduates were Hilary

Childforever, Sheldon Crane, Tre Fiddler, Lindy Kakekagumick, Thomas Mawakeesic, Adrienne McKay, Barry McKay Jr., Iris McKay, Danielle Meekis, Karian Meekis, Krista Meekis, Paige Meekis, Teri Meekis, Tanis Monias, Lakota Morris, Nigel Morris, Daymond Nanokeesic, Erickson Owen, Antonio Suggashie, Kelvin Tait, and

Melanie Thunder.Prior to the ceremony,

the school held a moment of silence for a student from Muskrat Dam who passed away prior to the graduation date.

Solomon Kakagamic, principal, said not all journeys to graduation were smooth.

“High school is not one smooth road,” he explained.

“You’re going to hit a bump in the road -- pick yourself up and learn from it. I’m very happy with what these students have accomplished. Parents, teachers, friends, dignitaries, I’m sure you’re all happy about what these students have accomplished.”

Their accomplishments will be with them for the rest of their lives, said Kakagamic.

“This is just a stepping stone,” he said. “We are very proud of what these students have achieved, through the efforts of our teachers, our support staff, counsellors.”

This is the first year the school has offered applied courses, he shared, ensuring this year’s grade nine students can go directly to college upon graduation.

“Our first year here doing

applied courses has been a success,” Kakagamic shared.

The school made a lot of changes this year, he added, initiated by student council and what the students wanted.

“From what I’ve seen… I think the change has been positive,” he said.

PFFNHS is going to continue listening to

voices of the students, said Kakagamic, as they are number one in his books.

“These students come from the far north,” he said. “They don’t see their families. I see what they go through, loneliness, missing their parents and their loved ones. I’m amazed that they stick it out. Each teacher here provides encouragement, encourages them to stay and continue on with their studies. From what I’ve seen we’ve been successful.

“We have 25 graduates today. Who knows, next year, maybe more? All in all, we are very happy with what these students have accomplished.”

Derek Fox, Nishnawbe Aski Nation Deputy Grand

Chief, applauded teachers, staff, and students.

“Education is not just something that is within the classroom,” he told the graduates. “It’s not about being just a doctor or a lawyer or a mechanic or whatever it is you choose to do. It’s also being educated in who we are as First Nation people.”

Fox said he has learned in a classroom, become a university graduate and a lawyer, but urged students to “keep a balance in who you are.”

“Continue with your education,” he said. “Continue to become doctors and lawyers, people in the trades, because we need that. We need that for our people. But don’t forget who you

are. Don’t forget that you need to be able to speak your language. You need to be able to hunt. You need to be able to retrieve medicines from the land and embrace your hunting territory, your fishing territory, because that’s who we are as a people. That’s who we are in our hearts.

“To the students, don’t ever forget that. Don’t ever forget to embrace who you are as First Nation people.”

Fox highlighted his attendance at a speech given by Erickson Owen, who was the only student present at the conference able to speak his traditional language.

“That’s something to be proud of, one of your students who grew up hunting and fishing,” said Fox. “That’s thanks to his parents, hunting

and fishing on his trapline. He can speak the language, and he can also get 100 per cent in the classroom.”

Keewaywin Chief Chris Kakegamic, chairman of the Northern Nishnawbe Education Council (NNEC) board, congratulated students and encouraged them to keep moving forward. Kakegamic said students, their parents, and their communities should be very proud.

Norma Kejick, NNEC executive director, said, “I really admire this graduating class. You guys have worked so hard and come a long way. A lot of you have had many struggles. I just want to encourage you to continue on. As Chris, our chairman said, it’s up to you now. I still want to encourage you to reach

out and ask for help, if you need help.”

Sioux Lookout Deputy Mayor John Bath congratulated graduates and their families, noting graduation is the ending of one phase of life and the beginning of the future.

“Coming times will be exciting, probably a bit trying, and probably a bit scary,” he said. “It will all depend on your determination.”

Education is about learning new skills and overcoming challenges, said Bath, and high school graduation is a key step toward a successful future.

This year’s guest speaker was Mario Wassaykeesic, from Poplar Hill First Nation. Wassaykeesic works at the Nimkee NupiGawagan

Healing Centre.“I’m really glad I’m here,

and that you guys made it this far,” he told students. “When I graduated, I don’t think I attended my graduation. I just went home and that was it.”

He encouraged students to carry on to post-secondary education, saying, “University is one of the best experiences ever… I was really happy I got the experience and enjoying it and being a part of that.”

Graduation is not the end, Wassaykeesic said. “It’s not the end. There’s a lot more to this. There’s a lot more that you will be able to accomplish.”

Nigel Morris gave the salutatorian address, and Erickson Owen gave the valedictorian address.

PFFNHS valedictorian speech

Erickson Owen

MY name is E r i c k s o n Andrew Owen.

I am from Poplar Hill and I was nominated by the Pelican Falls First Nations High School grade twelve graduates to be the valedictorian. I want to begin by saying thanks to the graduates and Mr. P.W for selecting me to be the valedictorian. It is truly an honor. It has taken many days of hard work and determination to get this far. Our era at this school is coming to an end.

The Pelican Falls Center staff are very helpful and make our stay at this school a safe and fun one. I want to thank the teachers for their knowledge, guidance and for helping us reach this point. Teachers are great friends to have and they are very dependable. I

would also like to thank the house parents for taking good care of us. They prepared us many great meals. Kraft dinner and chopped hot dogs is my favorite. They also took us on many trips to different locations like Winnipeg, Minnesota and various other locations. Their time and dedication to look after the students is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to all the families of the grads for being here with us as well. We will continue to move forward for our honour and to make you proud. The grads did many great things over the course of their four years. The best thing we have ever done was having the strength to be away from home to pursue an education. I acknowledge your pain, you brave little soldiers. You are too precious for this world. Our time and dedication within the school is greatly appreciated by many. Some of us partook in sports teams, school clubs and also being in the classroom 360 minutes a day is honourable.

The future will surely be a bumpy road sometimes. It is important to learn from the mistakes you have

made in the past and will make in the future. There will be problems harder to deal with than others, but you need to overcome these obstacles and keep striving to reach your goals and dreams. Listen, knowing both victory and defeat, running away and shedding tears. That is how we grow up. It is okay for you to cry, but it is important to overcome any obstacle that stands in your way. Know that you are loved and you are special.

A memorable moment the school had this year was the Northern Games. The grade 12 leadership class and the other teachers that helped orchestrate this event did an excellent job. I like it because I think a lot of thought, time and dedication went into planning it. Everyone was having fun. It is not always about winning or being the best. It is about having fun, laughing and having a great time with everyone. Another memorable moment the school had this year was the Halloween dance. Days when everyone can just relax and have a great time with their friends and cousins are great moments.

Education is the key to a good life. The world

is all about intelligence and skill. Continue to increase your knowledge and hone your skills and you will get to where you are going in no time. You might change your opinion on what you want to do in the future as you keep climbing the ladder to success. That is a good thing because the secret ingredient to having a great job is love. You have to love and enjoy what you are doing if you want a happy life. If you like socializing and helping people, then you might want a job as a marriage counsellor. If you enjoy working with your hands, then you might want a job as a plumber fixing sinks and pipes. Either way, keep looking for that spark and you will have an excellent life.

First Nations are slowly recovering and becoming great. It is up to us as role models to encourage youth to pursue their education. We must encourage our friends to keep moving forward. If your friend is falling behind, pick him or her up and keep moving forward together because we are all connected. We are all cousins, which is why we must work together. Education can give a

person lots of knowledge and knowledge is power. If every aboriginal person pursues their education, I believe we can make great changes for the next generation. Residential schools really did a number on our ancestors and to us through intergenerational trauma. What is important is what is now and how we can improve First Nations lives. Keep going and reach great heights, my cousins, and we can make great changes. I believe a day will come when every aboriginal person will communicate in their native language and practice aboriginal culture with pride. We need to focus on what is now.

An old era is coming to an end at this school. It feels like yesterday that I came to Pelican Falls in September 2012.This is a message to the freshmen. I hope someone will carry on our will and I hope

every student will strive towards their best in school. Your era is just beginning. Make a lot of friends, even just a few because you cannot get through high school alone. Your time at this school will seem short so make every semester count. I will tell you what you need to know to be successful in high school. Courses in school in my opinion, are not designed to be hard or easy. I believe it is the student who determines the difficulty for his or herself. You can sit there, do nothing and make it hard for yourself or you can listen, observe and perform what the teacher is teaching you and make it easy for yourself. Another thing you need to know is to not be afraid to talk to the adults in the school like teachers, the principal, vice principal and guidance counsellor, social counsellor and elders when you are

feeling lost or down. They can help you find a solution to your problem and it helps to ease some of the weight from what is bothering you knowing someone knows what you are going through. You are

not alone. I had problems myself during my time here and I always spoke to the staff and they helped me find solutions to my problems. Talking to adults really helped me out. Plus you learn from them and you can use what they teach you

to solve future problems. Always strive to be your best and brightest in everything you do.

My final message is to the school. Thank you for making our time at Pelican Falls an enjoyable fun adventure. We have been on many trips.

We had good and bad moments. I am sure good memories outnumber the bad ones. I have seen many excellent changes at this school during my time here. The school got a new skate sharpener and how the site functions has changed.

The mezzanine got new gym equipment and the gym got bleachers. These are excellent changes that will benefit the students and future students. A change I would like to see is university level courses offered at this school for

future students. Keep making great changes to improve this school. I wish not to say goodbye and I have not said it to anyone because I want to see you all again someday. Thank you all for listening and have a wonderful life.

PFFNHS salutatorian speech

Nigel Morris

GOOD afternoon, everyone.

B o o s h o o , waciye. Nigel Morris, Nitishinikas, W a j u s h k o o n o m i i g Nintooncii. My name is Nigel Morris, from Muskrat Dam First Nation.

I would like to thank everyone for attending our graduation of the 2015 – 2016 school year, here at the Pelican Falls First Nations High School. I am proud to

be standing up here today opening our ceremony on behalf of the graduating class.

I can tell you guys honestly, that I thought I would never graduate from high school. I have struggled with thoughts giving up and dropping out of school, but I’m happy that I didn’t and kept on going with my education.

This has been a very memorable school year for all of us. I can say that there were times that some of us have struggled, but with the support of our teachers, house counsellors, students and our fellow grads we managed to pull through. I would like to congratulate everyone here today for passing all their classes and final exams.

With everyone here

today, I want to tell a little bit about myself. I am from Muskrat Dam First Nation. However, I have resided in Sioux Lookout for a number of years. While I was living in Sioux Lookout, I attended Queen Elizabeth District High School for about four or five semesters and during my time in Sioux Lookout, I’ve struggled with alcoholism. I felt lonely, even though I wasn’t physically, and because of this, I hung out with the wrong people almost all the time. I felt that I wasn’t good enough towards my peers of the younger or older age groups that I hung out with, and this affected me mentally. I feel that I’m supposed to be a leader towards every student in our school, but I haven’t been able to.

I’m honest when I tell you that I wish I could have done more for our school.

There were multiple things that kept me going throughout my journey during high school such as: my grandparents, my parents, my family, and my fellow peers. A few weeks ago, I saw a picture that my sister had shared on Facebook; on that picture it quoted “Failure has seven letters, so does Success.” During that time, I felt like quitting on my English course that I took through Wahsa, however, that quote stuck with me and kept me going on finishing my high school education. I knew that if I could push hard as I did throughout that whole night and day, any student here is able to accomplish that, as long

as they set themselves to it.

Our graduating class of the 2015 – 2016 school year have participated in multiple school events, sports events, and organized events, events such as: sports, prom committee, pow wow volunteering, the NAN-hosted events, hip hop writing workshops with Shibastik and Red Cloud, and so many more. The events that were held here in our school brought some of us even closer as peers, and it amazes me how such activities can do that, bringing people closer together.

I would like to talk about the grads here for a bit. We all have been on a long journey to get here, some of us had fallen off, but picked

ourselves back up and continued our journey as students and individuals. I’ll always cherish this moment for as long as I live, being able to stand up here today with my friends, and family. I want to wish all the graduates the best of their life experiences that are yet to come.

I would also like to say that Erickson Owen’s accomplishment by having a 100 per cent grade average had actually encouraged me to try and work hard in school, and I hope that it did the same with the other graduates. I’m proud to be graduating with Erickson, because he’s such a great role model for the other students in our school.

Everyone here today, I present to you all, the graduating class of 2016!

Thank you for making time at Pelican Falls an enjoyable fun adventure

SLMHC mammography department passes accreditation programShayla Bradley

Staff Writer

THE mammography department at Sioux Lookout

Meno Ya Win Health Centre (SLMHC) is celebrating once again passing the m a m m o g r a p h y accreditation program of the Canadian Association of Radiologists.

Accreditation is for three years, effective from May 1 of this year until April 30, 2019.

“The purpose of the mammography accreditation program is to ensure that mammograms performed at a facility meet strict and very high standards,” explained DeAnna Lance, medical radiation technologist, radiography; registered technologist, radiography; and certified navigator, breast imaging. “Staff qualifications,

equipment performance, quality assurance and quality control programs, image quality and radiation dose are all strictly evaluated.”

“Technologists performing mammograms must be highly skilled and complete a minimum number of hours of continuing education in breast imaging,” added Lance. “Reading radiologists must also be highly skilled and read a minimum number of mammograms annually. They are also required to complete a minimum number of hours of continuing education in breast imaging.

“Dedicated mammography equipment, such as high detail monitors, must function optimally and produce extremely high quality mammogram images with the lowest radiation dose possible to

the patients.“The quality assurance

program includes a multitude of quality control tests that are performed daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. Most of the tests are performed by the mammography technologist, but some are performed by a medical physicist. The results of these tests are interpreted and an accurate log is recorded. The results are available for review by the accreditation program at any time.

“At SLMHC, we pride ourselves in providing the best care possible. Our patients can rest assured that we strive for excellence. Passing the mammography accreditation program is one more way to prove it.”


SIU closes investigation in 2012 Pikangikum caseShayla Bradley

Staff Writer

THE Ontario S p e c i a l I n v e s t i g a t i o n s

Unit (SIU) has declined to issue charges against an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer involved in a 2012 incident in Pikangikum during which a man was struck with a prong from a conducted energy weapon (CEW) and partially blinded.

The subject officer exercised his legal right to not participate in an interview or provide a copy of duty notes.

When police officers are involved in incidents where someone has been seriously injured, dies, or alleges sexual assault, the SIU has a statutory mandate to conduct an independent

investigation to determine if a criminal offence took place.

“After a review of the limited evidence available to me, I am not satisfied that reasonable grounds exist to charge the subject officer with a criminal offence,” said SIU director Tony Loparco.

The incident occurred June 19, 2012 and was reported to the SIU on July 13 after the complainant’s father notified the OPP that his son had lost sight in one eye resulting from the police interaction. The SIU assigned three investigators and three witness officers, a civilian police employee, and two civilian witnesses were interviewed.

The SIU also obtained and analyzed medical records and maintenance records for the CEW that was deployed.

The investigation found, according to the SIU, that the OPP “received a call about an out of control man at a home at the Pikangikum First Nation. The subject officer was the first officer to arrive and enter the residence. He spoke to the man.

“During the course of this interaction, the subject officer deployed his CEW. One of the prongs lodged itself near the man’s left eye. Shortly after the CEW was deployed, three witness officers arrived

and assisted in gaining control of the man.

“The man was bleeding from the face and had a CEW prong lodged near his left eyelid. He was transported to a local nursing station, treated, and released.

“Medical records reveal that he returned to the nursing station the next day with pain and swelling to his eye. Later, he was referred to an ocular surgeon in Winnipeg, where he underwent surgery for a detached retina.”

Loparco said he needed to determine if the force employed by the subject officer went beyond what

was required in the circumstances.

“There is, however, a definitive absence of evidence about the interaction between the subject officer and the man at the time that the CEW was first deployed,” he said. “The man has limited to no recollection of the event, and the subject officer did not provide either an interview or his notes.

“While it is, of course, the officer’s prerogative to refrain from providing any information to this unit, the end result is that I have no insight into his assessment of the circumstances or his thought process when he employed his CEW.

“There is also inadequate evidence to determine whether the subject officer deliberately fired his CEW at the man’s face (which could be an excessive application of force in my view) or if the CEW prong lodged itself in his face by mere happenstance.

“I have concluded that there is insufficient information to satisfy the evidentiary burden for a finding of excessive force. I simply cannot determine, with any degree of confidence, what happened between the subject officer and the man on June 19, 2012. Consequently, no charges will issue.”

over the past decade, in 2006, 2008, 2010,

and 2012, the earliest installation was April 27 and the latest was

May 17.Washrooms at the

beach will open to

the public when new doors, which have been ordered, are installed.

At the end of April, playground equipment was removed at the town beach having failed inspection by a Canadian Parks and Recreation Association certified inspector. That equipment is set to be replaced as part of planned upgrades over the course of the next couple of summers.

Work on the remaining playground infrastructure and retaining wall near the playground area could take up to six weeks.

According to Landry, “The swing set needed parts, which have been ordered, and once they arrive, the swing set will be available for use once again. The cement anchors for the equipment that has been removed will also be taken out shortly to avoid any tripping hazards, and new sand will be brought to the play area. The retaining wall near the play structures is also to be repaired. We anticipate that the bulk of this work will be completed within the next four to six weeks.”

For those hoping to have a new place to play in town, the timing is dependent on a grant application, according to CAO Ann Mitchell.

“The municipality is working with representatives of Project Playground to develop a funding application to assist with offsetting the costs of relocating the Wellington Street playground to the Travel Information Centre,” she said. “The timelines for completion of this project will be, in part, dependent on the turnaround time on the grant application.”

Canada becomes full supporter of United Nations indigenous peoples declaration


CANADA is changing its position on

the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), becoming a full supporter without qualifications.

Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Indigenous Northern Affairs, made the announcement May 10 in New York at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

Canada previously did not support the declaration, with concerns about wording regarding lands and resources and a section calling for states to obtain prior informed consent with indigenous groups before enacting new laws.

Bennett’s announcement was supported by leaders from the Assembly of First Nations, Native Women’s Association of Canada, Métis National Council, and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.

“I’m extremely pleased to see this government adopt this critical declaration,” said Kenora MP Bob Nault. “It’s long overdue that we recognize indigenous people’s basic human rights, as well as rights to self-determination, language, equality, and land.”

Nault said the signing will have a huge impact in the riding, home to 42 First Nations.

“I commend this government for formally

announcing that Canada is a full supporter of the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples without qualifications,” he said. “This change is historic in nature and it is a significant step in repairing the relationship between indigenous peoples and the government of Canada.”

“This is a turning

point in our relationship and the recognition of our rights but I must point out that we are only regaining what we had previous control of; our right to the lands, territories, and resources which we have traditionally owned and occupied since recorded time,” said Ontario Regional Chief Isadore

Day. “I am hopeful that the adoption of UNDRIP will help end a dark Canadian legacy where indigenous peoples were forbidden to participate in any decision-making that affected our land, our rights, and our future.

“This is a significant step along the path of reconciliation where we

will have the right to full engagement and the inherent and indisputable right to say ‘no more.’ At the same time, UNDRIP, just like the mandates letters to the federal cabinet ministers, are just words on paper. Canada must follow through with significant funding to finally address the poverty and

despair in far too many of our communities. We can’t wait five more years until the $8.4 billion rolls out to our communities. This is the reason why UNDRIP was first drafted a decade ago – to ensure indigenous peoples are able to escape the colonial chains of poverty.”

and Lt.-Col. Richardson had seen outstanding community support throughout their tour of Northwestern Ontario.

Lt.-Col. Evans thanked family members and parents, who had driven far distances to celebrate at the review, and in support of cadets throughout the year, highlight stories of families driving an hour and a half each way so their cadets could attend training.

Without the cadets’ dedicated efforts the program would not be possible, said Lt.-Col. Evans, counselling cadets to take a great sense of pride and satisfaction that day, and throughout the year. Through their training they became stronger and more confident, learned skills, and grew as people, she said.

“You should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished,” Lt.-Col. Evans told the assembled cadets.

Along with the l i eu t enan t - co lone l s , representatives of the Lions Club, Legion, Municipality of Sioux Lookout, and Lac Seul First Nation shared words of congratulations with the cadets.
