The unanimous decision of the judges for best display in town went to Judy Henrickson at 698 Drayton Road.

“AN overwhelming show of support from the commu-

nity. I’m quite impressed with the results,” stated Sioux Lookout OPP Community Services Offi cer Constable Mark Gaudet commenting on the public’s participation

Community packs police cruiser with Christmas joyin the detachment’s recent stuff a cruiser initiative.

Eight offi cers volunteered their time December 5 collecting clothing, toys and non-perishable food items at Johnny’s Fresh Market, the Bargain! Shop and the Northern Store.

“I think it’s great. It’s been amazing, the community’s generosity

and support,” agreed First Step Women’s Shelter (FSWS) Services Manager Carmelia Agustin.

The offi cers were conducting the stuff a cruiser initiative for FSWS.

More than 20 families needed support through the FSWS’s adopt- a-family program.

As of last week, all the families living in the community have been adopted; however Agustin said three women with families staying at the shelter still need to be adopted.

“Every dollar helps to make sure a family gets a Christmas,” Agustin said.

Anyone who would like to contribute to one of the remaining families can do so by contacting the shelter at 737-1438.

Agustin added that single moms in need of help to provide a Christmas for their children can call the shelter for help, as can any women who need to talk.

QUEEN Elizabeth District High School students

had the chance to jam with musicians Katherine Wheatley, Suzie Vinnick and Wendell Ferguson when the trio returned to Sioux Lookout as part of the Artscan Circle program.

Artscan is a volunteer-run group connecting creative artists with youth in remote Canada. At QEDHS students were split into three classes—vocal, songwriting, and guitar, taught by Vinnick, Wheatley and Ferguson respectively. The week long project culminated

Artscan strikes a chord with QEDHS studentswith a short concert Thursday.

Along with the musical education, the arts and native studies classes at QEDHS created paintings, some of which will appear on CDs featuring recordings taken Thursday.

Artscan Executive Director Carol Teal came to town for the project, taking a personal role in the workshops. Addressing the participants, she said, “We’ve had a wonderful week. You’ve all been exceptional musicians, exceptional songwriters, and exceptional artists.”

The students showed off their newfound musicianship at the concert, playing

everything from cover songs to freestyle bluesy guitar. One group’s creation, a homespun ode to downtown Sioux Lookout titled Bargain Shop, drew laughs from the crowd.

Ferguson carried on his trademark wit through the students’ performance, announcing, “I bought the shirt I’m wearing at the Bargain Shop!”

Music teacher Jon Armstrong got in on the action as well, joining an impromptu jam session, bass in hand.

Though the program’s purpose is to educate students, Wheatley said the trio gained knowledge, too.

“It’s been really

inspiring for us,” she said.Speaking to the students

at the end of their show, she congratulated the group on their skills.

“Your musical talent is unbelievable,” she said.

Going along with Artscan’s mandate to encourage self-esteem

and creativity, Wheatley also praised the students for their attitudes.

“We were really impressed with how

supportive you guys are of each other. It has really moved us,” she said. “I hope you continue that way in life.”

Where’d our tree go?Imagine the surprise last week of the family on Sturgeon River Road who arrived home after work to fi nd the 20 year old evergreen gracing the entrance to their driveway gone.

For years the family has nurtured this beauty, occasionally trimming and cropping it gently to accentuate its good looks, mowing and trimming the grass around it during the summer.

The tree was an elegant beacon to all who drove by on Sturgeon River Road and a warm welcome to visitors who entered the driveway. It stood majestically, year in and year out, a faithful sentinel no matter the weather.

It radiated a joy that can’t be re-grown in the lifetime of the people who live there.What kind of person, living around here with hundreds of thousands of wonderful wilderness trees to choose from, would cut

down a tree from somebody’s yard? Merry Christmas, Grinch!

A more appropriate title might have been “Local Heroes”

Kudos to Nicole C a r b o n e - M a d s e n ’ s Grades 10 and 11 History Class “Trash without Cash - School News”; December 2nd edition of the Sioux Lookout Bulletin.

It’s unfortunate that these young people found the need to volunteer to pick up after those inconsiderate and selfi sh individuals that went before them. It is, however, very refreshing to know that they were willing to make things right in the community that they obviously care about and call home. Perhaps we adults could learn something from them?

They are absolutely right in thinking that our roadways offer the fi rst impression to all that come to Sioux Lookout. It’s unfortunate that any newcomer to our town would not need a map to fi nd the local landfi ll site. They only need to follow the steady stream of refuse found in the ditches and roadsides leading from town – the same areas that these youth found a need to clean. Alcona Drive, the overpass and highways leading to the landfi ll site are typically covered with garbage that was intended for the landfi ll (I feel sorry for those residents who live along that route). Are we that lazy and inconsiderate that we can’t secure our loads before heading to the dump, and if something should fall off, can we not stop and pick it up?

The appearance of our community is everyone’s responsibility. Just because you didn’t drop it there doesn’t mean that you can’t take a minute to

pick it up and put it in its proper place. If everyone did a little these youth would have more time to tackle future ventures to improve their community and our world.

I note that it was mentioned that the Municipality assisted with free pickup of the garbage. I would hope that the Municipality would (at least) assist with picking up the garbage. Some of that garbage was waste building materials, large boxes and sizable sheets of plastic. Some of that garbage has been laying there for months. Is it not possible for town works employees driving town work vehicles (who drive by frequently) to take a minute or two and pick up the larger items? The rest of us can assist by not littering and picking up the smaller items left behind by those who have not yet learned to care.

If we all did our part perhaps Ms. Carbone-Madsen’s class would be able to better spend their time on other avenues to make our world a better place to live for the present and the future.

Once again, thank you to these young people, the leaders of our future. May they do a better job than we have…

Marlie Squires

Thanks for dedicated health professionals

I want to thank and commend the nurses and staff of the Northwestern Health Unit on handling the demanding start of the H1N1 and Seasonal Flu immunization campaign with great professionalism. They have tackled the strain of the ever changing information and procedures by going over and above their job

requirements to ensure the public receives the most current information and service as it is made available.

Additionally, I would like to thank the public for their patience and appreciation of these dedicated nurses and staff as they confront the tremendous pressure of long hours and wait times.

As a member of the public and a family man, I am grateful that we receive the services we do, and will continue to support the endeavors of the Northwestern Health Unit nurses and staff as long as I can.

Yours in health,John Albanese, Board

ChairNorthwestern Health

Unit

Imposition on a community will not last long

Despite the best intentions of a leadership, be it the CAO, or the committees created, or Municipal Council, lasting and refl ective meaningful decisions will only be enduring when the process, each process, includes the very people who tread this sacred ground, our community.

Decisons made in

isolation of the residents of the community, without the continuity of meaningful contact of the very people who can mould and shape that process into appropriate fruition, is destined to decay and degenerate in the long run.

Process is the key to creating an evolved society. Leaders must be sensitive to this; otherwise all great plans and projects will not stand the test of time. Abuse, negligence, disrespect, vandalism, graffi ti will become the norm.

Like an occupied country, success will come only when the community supports the actions and the intentions of the occupation. Are we now being occupied?

The leadership of our ballooning, t a x - b u r d e n i n g , administration, and its municipal council, must be more available and accountable to the citizens of the community.

Change for change’s sake is a bad omen for the future. This past year token community involvement, and excessive spending, seem more to alienate the very community these leaderships are supposed to serve.

Big bucks are spent on

administrative staff. In 2010 I would like to see better availability and accountability, especially of these leaders, before the public.

Let’s start with monthly public meetings with the CAO and his Mayor. Open meetings geared toward discussion and debate. Open meetings, not staged affairs as we witnessed during the public meeting on the urban reserve issue, to connect with taxpayers, allowing free expression, that makes us better informed, better understood, and better connected with each other.

In the fl urry of the next year’s bustling actions and activities, let us all work toward the common good. Continuous public involvement assures that expected holistic degree of success we all hope for and crave.

Nobody expects public participation to be an easy process, but for the long run this is the most relevant, most important, and the most rewarding opportunity. Let’s do it! The sooner the better. The better the best!

It takes not a few, but the entire community... that chance... for a lasting peace.

TIKINAGAN Child and Family Services is breathing a

sigh of relief following the announcement of emergency funding from the provincial government.

Children and Youth Services Minister Laurel Broten announced $6.4 million in support of several struggling First Nation children’s aid societies, with $2.1 million earmarked for Tikinagan and $2 million

Tikinagan receives emergency fundsgoing to Pikangikum.

Broten and Aboriginal Affairs Minister Brad Duguid will visit Pikangikum next month in order to understand the root causes of the community’s issues.

In early October the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) released a statement lambasting the federal government for cutting $23 million to children’s aid societies. In the release OACAS named Tikinagan as one

of the most severely affected agencies, with a shortfall of $3.9 million, roughly nine per cent of their operating budget.

Earlier this fall the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society (FNCFCS) initiated a human rights tribunal hearing against the federal government, accusing Canada’s offi cials of discriminating against thousands of First Nation children in the child welfare system.

According the AFN, First Nation child welfare agencies receive around

22 per cent less funding than provincial agencies. They also point out that one out of 10 First

Nation children are placed in government care as compared to one out of every 200 non-

First Nation children, estimating approximately 7000 First Nation children being cared for in total.

Upgrades announcedThe Sioux Lookout Golf and Curling Club will benefit from $74,000 to purchase a mower, ice-plant condenser, and integrated computer system for the club thanks to Ontario Trillium Foundation funding announced December 7.

“I guess it’s an early Christmas present for the

community,” stated Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) First Nation Chief Donny Morris.

An agreement has been struck between the Province of Ontario and Platinex Inc. to resolve the company’s litigation against Ontario and KI over the company’s Big Trout Lake property.

Agreement reached between Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug, Government of Ontario and Platinex

Platinex will drop its lawsuits against the Crown and KI and surrender all its mining claims and leases at Big Trout Lake in return for $5 million and a potential future royalty interest.

The Government of Ontario will withdraw the KI lands from staking and mineral exploration.

“It could have been done a lot earlier, at least from my perspective and the community’s. It delayed our projects. It created an unstable environment between Ontario, Platinex

and the community, and none of this should have happened in regard to our community,” Morris said.

Morris expressed relief upon learning of the agreement stating, “Now we can get back to the business of band administration.”

Morris hopes this agreement will mean criminal charges laid against him and fi ve other band members will be dropped.

Earlier in the KI, Platinex dispute, the six band members were sent

to jail for not allowing Platinex to conduct exploration activity on their traditional land.

“At least we’ve been guaranteed our waters are not going to be destroyed or polluted. Our whole concern was that it was too close to the lake (potentional Platinex operations),” Morris stated.

Platinex President and CEO Jim Trusler stated, “Platinex is pleased to be able to recover value for the Big Trout Lake property. It became

apparent that the company was not going to be able to access the property. We can now focus on our other PGE and gold properties and the money will enable Platinex to execute its business plan. Should the Ontario government allow future exploration on the former property we would expect to benefi t from the future development of the very signifi cant platinum potential. The company is excited to be moving forward with exploration and looks forward to announcing a drill

program on its Shining Tree gold property for the winter months.”

Minister of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry Michael Gravelle concluded, “This is a unique situation, and I am pleased that we were able to reach a fair and reasonable negotiated settlement that will provide greater certainty to Platinex while allowing our government to continue working with KI to strengthen our relationship and to pursue future opportunities.”

AS 2009 draws to a close the Sioux Lookout Lions

Club is looking back on 50 years of service in the community.

A celebration was held November 14 in honour of the club, which was chartered October 28, 1959. The Lioness Club was chartered December 4, 1980.

The Lions have a current membership of about 20, and spearhead several initiatives in Sioux Lookout and area.

“Most people don’t

Lions reflect on 50 years in Sioux Lookouteven realize that the Lions Club even exists here,” laughed Wally Glena, a local Lions Club member.

At the celebration the Lions honoured both club members and others in the community.

“We have quite a number of people who aren’t Lions that support us in many ways, and some people support us in the events that we do, and others do help us in different projects,” explained Glena.

Warren and Charon Sippola were recognized for their involvement with the annual Canada Day celebration, while

Lions member Bev Piche was acknowledged for her service to the club. Lion Brian Logan was congratulated for 30 years of service.

“These are people who give quite unselfi shly to the betterment of the community,” Glena said.

Sioux Lookout’s fi refi ghters received a special mention for their help in putting on Canada Day fi reworks.

“They’ve dedicated their time to put on an extra special event, which most people really enjoy in our community,” said Glena.

The Lions Club is very active in Sioux Lookout, aiding in the Blueberry Festival, Kids Kaleidoscope,

Safe Grad, and holiday activities, among other projects. They aid the community monetarily as well, donating a total of $60,000 to the hospital building fund, raising money for Cedar Bay, obtaining funding for the town’s bocce courts, and providing an annual $500 bursary to a local high school graduate.

A big aspect of the Lions service is aiding the blind. In Sioux Lookout that translates to both preventive measures and helping out those who are already struggling with eye health.

“It’s a key thing. We are called the Knights of the Blind,” explained Glena.

Whether they are

setting up fi reworks or collecting old eyeglasses for those in developing countries, Sioux Lookout’s Lions stick to the club motto We Serve.

“It’s an organization that services the community without actually expecting too much back from it,” said Glena.

In Memoriam Ray FlanaganApril 8, 1950 - December 16, 2008

Memories of YouEach night I sit and listen,

For that distant rumbling roar, As the dog went to the window

As you rode up to the door. As you stood there

in the shadows, With your jacket

wet with rain, To once more see your smile again, Would surely take

away this pain. But the garage now

stands empty, just an oil pool stains the

floor, No more the gatherings

on the lawn, I won’t see you by the door.

No music, laughter, all is gone, Yet still those friends remain,

They ride by now, but seldom call,

They know not what to say. To once more ride along with you,

would be a dream come true, But dreams are for the bedroom now,

My memories of you.

Lovingly remembered and sadly missed. Janice, Raymond, Sharon, Patrick & Rachael

You Were the Strongest Woman We Knew

Strong women are those who know the road ahead will be

strewn with obstacles, but they still choose to walk it

because it’s the right one for them.

Strong women are those who make mistakes,

who admit to them, learn from those failures,

and then use that knowledge. Strong women are easily hurt,

but they still extend their hearts and hands, knowing the risk

and accepting the pain when it comes.

Strong women are sometimes beat down by life,

but they still stand back up and step forward again. Mom, you gave us your

strength and shared your faith. Thank you.

Forever loved, always remembered

by Your children, grand-children, and great-

grandchildren.

Sioux Lookout Flyers proved they’re a team that should never be counted out.

Flyers show true grit in shoot-out win over Ice DogsThe Flyers got off to a

slow start in their match December 7 against the Dryden Ice Dogs at the Sioux Lookout Memorial Arena and were pounced on by the Ice Dogs in the fi rst period.

At the end of one

period the Ice Dogs led 2 – 0.

The Flyers dug deep and took their game to the next level in the second period and by the time the buzzer sounded the Flyers had cut the Ice Dogs lead to 3 – 2.

Nathan Brown found the back of the net for the Flyers in the third period to tie the game 3 – 3.

The game then went to overtime which ended without a goal by either team.

On the teams went to a shoot-out, which went into the seventh round before Galen Matyjanka lit the lamp for the Flyers, winning the game for the hometown club 4 – 3.

The Flyers are now on the road and have

already recorded a win, 4 – 1, against the Wisconsin Mustangs of the Minnesota Junior Hockey League.

The Flyers next home game will be January 2 at 7:30 p.m. against the Dryden Ice Dogs.

SOMETHING new this year in girl’s high school hockey.

“What we’ve done this year is create a crossover

Changes this season for girls high school hockey schedule so our divisions are still separate… we’ve done it to try and improve the competition level in the single A division and to allow them exposure to the double A teams before they jump in as the fourth place team in the play-

offs. “It’s a pilot year. It’s the

fi rst year we’ve tried it. The single A teams are Queen Elizabeth, Red Lake and St. Thomas Aquinas and the double As are Beaver Brae, Fort Frances and Dryden,” explained Queen

Elizabeth District High School Athletics Director Janine Lavoie.

“I think it’s been going well… some of the scores I’ve seen, the games are fairly competitive, even our game against Beaver Brae the other night

(which the Broncos went on to win 9 – 0), three nothing until we had to change our goaltender, so for us going into the third down only three goals is pretty good.”

Lavoie said everything will remain the same as

in previous years for boys hockey, with the QEDHS Warriors, Pelican Falls First Nations High School Timberwolves and St. Thomas Aquinas High School Saints all playing each other at the single A level.
