Celebrating Alberton's 125th Birthday!
Alberton resident Rob Barkley started the event with a bagpipe solo with a medley which included "Amazing Grace"
and other familiar songs.
Shannon Rodgriues set up her salon chair to cut peoples'
hair, including Sandy Haney's, all for a donation to cancer
research.
MP Don Rusnak stood with Reeve Michael and presented a
certificate for the township's 125th birthday.
Around 4 pm, Center Line took to the stage to fill the park
with a little dance music for the party.
Cornelia Gerber, Bryce Kabatay, Carly Ballantyne and Natalie DeGagne were some of the volunteers who helped make
the event run smoothly.
Jerry and Bev Colette showed up to the party already celebrating with big smiles on their faces.

Cheryl McCallum (on the Rec. Commission) spent an estimated 85 hours over the previous three weeks making the
giant paper mache cake and candles. She's known for her
ability to use recycled items to make wonderful works of art.
The party couldn't have been pulled off without the planning and hard work of the recreational commission and volunteers. Several of these photos are courtesy of Beth Logue,

Wow, it is the middle of
June! You will see most of the
dairy farms making hay or
maybe even finished their first
cut if the weather held long
enough for them. Traditionally the beef producers cut a
bit later – they tend to cut for
quantity rather than quality.
Cattle are likely all on pasture
now so there might be less
work around the yard but you
now spend a bit more time
checking on cattle since they
are not right in the yard. I
have noticed every day that
there are more and more flies
bothering the cattle. As soon
as the grass is really growing
– the bugs are really out as
well. We ended up adding another species to our farm last
week. We now have ducks!
This wasn’t planned but it
looks like they are staying.
They are still living in the
house but they are growing so
fast that I think they will be
outside in another week.
Other than canary’s and finch
pets – I have never owned
birds so I have been scrambling along trying to learn
about them as we go. Like for
example – I didn’t know that
you had to limit how much
water your ducks had since
they will actually drown at
early ages like this. We have
been exposing them to shallow
water a couple times of day
and I think they are getting the
hang of things now. They certainly enjoy that time of
splashing and bathing. We got
them last Tuesday and I think
they have already doubled in
size! Roxee feels like she is
getting invaded with all the animals hanging around the
house; first the lamb now the
ducklings. They were startled
by her for the first little bit but
now they are completely comfortable with her as well. My
boyfriend / partner built them
a fancy new house so once
they are ready to be moved
outside they have a safe place
to live. I think he was thinking
this is one step closer to getting chickens! So it seems I
have as many chores now as I
did all winter….
Marlee spent the weekend
farming since her family was
spread out all over with other
activities. She enjoyed having
the new ducklings to play
with. Since my mom and dad
were away their dog was at
“Signature Kennels” and we
were to pick her up Saturday
am. After picking “Daisee” up
Marlee said “Auntie Kimmie
now I have three jobs that I
want to do – first I want to be
a farmer, then a veterinarian
and now I really want to work
at a kennel!”
We will be harvesting the
forage trials at EARS this
week – though we have less to
do. We are organizing a Hops
Yard – so if you start to see a
number of poles installed you
will know what we are up to!
It certainly will be a neat project – we won’t be planting
until next year but we will
have the yard designed.

Serving up sustainable
beef at McDonald's
By Deborah Wilson
When the largest purchaser
of Canadian beef says it's going
to begin obtaining a portion of
its supply from sustainable
sources, the whole industry
takes notice.
Sustainability is important not
only to McDonald's Restaurants but to all food retailers,
who are moving fast to respond
to changing public values
around health, the environment
and animal welfare. But McDonald's has led the pack with
its Verified Sustainable Beef
(VSB) Canadian pilot program,
which actually gets into the
nuts and bolts of beef production.
Since early 2014, McDonald's
has worked with producers,
stock growers, feedlots, packers and all of us at the Beef InfoXchange System (BIXS) to
find a consistent way to track
"sustainability indicators" like
animal health and welfare, efficient feeding and management
practices, innovation, and land
management.
McDonald's announced the
results of its pilot in early June.
The results included these
standout statistics: nearly 200
producers participated in the
pilot, allowing BIXS to track
the chain of custody of some
9,000 head of Canadian cattle the equivalent of 2.4 million
patties sold at McDonald's in
Canada over the last two years.
The pilot was a true collaboration across the entire supply
chain - no simple feat in an industry known for its fierce individualism.
And it couldn't have come too
soon. Just a few weeks after the

fiasco over the beef-purchasing
plans of Earls Kitchen and Bar,
the VSB pilot has helped the
Canadian beef industry take a
giant leap forward in verifying
sustainable practices. We're
now measurably closer to a national framework for sustainable beef production - which
seemed a distant dream a short
time ago.
The work of the McDonald's
pilot, along with BIXS, the Verified Beef Production Plus program from the Canadian
Cattlemen's Association, and
the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency is allowing us to
measure, verify and track chain
of custody in ways that no
other country can. Some of us
even see a day when sustainability is so ingrained that the
term "sustainable beef" becomes redundant.
Jeffrey Fitzpatrick-Stilwell,
McDonald's senior manager of
sustainability, stresses how the
pilot proved the value of information sharing. "McDonald's
wants to trace the chain of custody from birth to burger.
That's important to us and our
consumers. However, we also
want to return real value back
to producers, such as carcass
data. This flow of data up and
down the value chain is really
critical, and valuable to everyone who participates," he says.
"What the pilot has shown is
that the more data producers
and others put into BIXS, the
more they're going to get
back."
One of the major reasons that
McDonald's chose to pilot the
program in Canada was the
strength of BIXS. And by participating in the pilot, BIXS has
become even more robust - allowing us to meet or exceed
every timeline and commitment asked of us. "BIXS has
been able to track information,
while still maintaining user privacy, in ways that have gone
well beyond the original design," says Fitzpatrick-Stilwell.
One more important point:
during the pilot celebration,
Cargill Canada said that for the
first time in the last five years
its beef sales to McDonald's
have gone up. It attributes the
increase to McDonald's "Not
Without Canadian Farmers"
promotion. The increase indicates that Canadian consumers
want to buy our beef, but they
also want to know what they're
eating. By giving them what
they want through verification,
we have a big chance to grow
the industry at home and
abroad.
Now that the pilot is complete, what's the bottom line for
producers? It's time to get in the
game. Producers who are engaged in the verification
process are going to have the
strongest voices, and the best
opportunity for improving their
businesses and the industry as
a whole.
As Fitzpatrick-Stilwell puts it:
"BIXS was created with the intention that the entire supply
chain would see value in participating. Although that didn't
happen in the early days, it is
definitely happening now and
we're very pleased by that."
So what are you waiting for?
Sign up with BIXS and be on
the front lines of Canadian sustainable beef production. Signing up is easy and free. But
unlocking the value of data and
reflecting the pride of the industry is beyond measure.
Deborah Wilson is senior
vice-president at BIXSco, the
data-sharing partner in McDonald's VSB pilot. McDonald's longer-term goal is to
source all of its beef sustainably through Canadian producers.

commemoration ceremony scheduled for help most financially
pow wow weekend
vulnerable seniors
The few remaining survivors
of the residential school experience are pleased to finally be
able to schedule a commemoration ceremony for the long
sought and hard fought monument honouring those who attended residential schools. The
commemoration will also
serve as a celebration. A celebration of the perseverance,
the dedication and determination of these survivors who refused to accept that this could
not be done.
The ceremony is scheduled
for June 18th, 2016 at 10 a.m.
at the corner of Manitou
Rapids Drive and Highway
11/71 on Rainy River First Nations. Anyone who attended a
residential school from within
or without our community are
invited to attend.
Scheduled to give a keynote
address is Amy Bombay, Assistant Professor in the School
of Nursing and Department of
Psychiatry at Dalhousie University. Dr. Bombay is a member of RRFNs and received
her PhD in Psychology and
Neuroscience from Carleton
University in 2012. Dr. Bombay will speak about one of
her main programs of research
that explores the different
pathways by which Indian
Residential School trauma is
transmitted across generations.

pain, sorrow, sadness, but we
survived” – inscribed on the

About the Rainy River First
Nations Indian Residential
School Survivors Working
Group
The Working Group was established in April 2012 whose
sole purpose was to create a
lasting memoriam to those
who attended Residential
Schools. The monument is the
survivors effort to ensure that
this dark chapter in their lives
is never forgotten. The initial
group made little to no
progress, but in February
2015, the group was successful in getting funding for the
monument and work began in
earnest in July 2015 with 80 –
90% of the work completed by
the fall 2015. The project
stalled until May 2016, when
funding was finalized for the
remainder of the project.
OPP seek the public's
assistance
In the past several weeks
members of the Rainy River
District Detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) were called to investigate suspicious grass fires.
These incidents occurred in
the Township of Lavallee and

circumstances. Thankfully, the
share of seniors living in low
income based on this measure
has fallen dramatically over
the past four decades: from 29
per cent in 1976 to 3.7 per cent
in 2013.
This stark decline shows that
Canada's retirement income
system has largely been successful in helping the overwhelming majority of seniors
avoid living in low income
during retirement.
Despite this positive development in recent decades,
some seniors remain at higher
risk. Specifically, single seniors living alone (widows or
divorcees, for example) are
much more likely to be in low
income than other seniors.
In 2013, 10.5 per cent of single seniors living alone were
in low income (most of them
were women). The rate of low
income among single seniors
is considerably higher than
both the rate for all seniors
(3.7 per cent) and the rate
among married seniors living
independently from other family members.
A subset of single seniors is
at even higher risk of being in
low income, namely single
seniors living alone without
any income from the CPP. Almost half of these single seniors (48.9 per cent) are in low
income.
Although the CPP is not designed to be an anti-poverty
tool, there's a perception that
expanding the CPP would help
financially vulnerable seniors.
Unfortunately, it will not,
partly because many low-income single seniors have not
worked outside the home in
their working lives and thus
have not earned any labour income - a key determinant of
CPP retirement benefits.
Those with no work history,
and thus no contributions to
the CPP, will receive no additional retirement benefits from
an expanded CPP.
Even for low-income single
seniors with work histories
and sufficient contributions to
the CPP, expanding the CPP
may provide little or no assistance. That's because a higher
CPP benefit could simply result in a reduction in federal
(and provincial) government
benefits targeted at low-income seniors, such as the
Guaranteed Income Supplement. This means the total net
increase in income would be
less than what is implied by
the increased amount of CPP
income.
In short, expanding the CPP
will largely fail to help Canadian retirees most in need of
assistance.
Instead of expending political energy on debating CPP
expansion in the misguided
belief that many middle- and
upper-income Canadians are
not saving enough for retirement, the focus of public debate should be on how best to
help financially vulnerable
seniors.

and Hugh MacIntyre
After years of debate, the
Trudeau Liberals have rekindled the push to expand the
Canada Pension Plan (CPP),
with the federal government
committed to achieving an
agreement with the provinces.
Finance
Minister
Bill
Morneau will soon meet with
his provincial counterparts to
discuss options on how to raise
mandatory contributions on
working Canadians to provide
increased benefits in retirement.
Unfortunately, the ongoing
debate about expanding the
CPP has been a distraction
from where the real problem
lies in Canada's retirement income system. Concerns about
the adequacy of retirement income are mostly driven by a
misplaced focus on middle(and sometimes upper-) income Canadians not saving
enough for retirement. That
focus is misplaced because the
evidence shows most Canadians are well prepared for retirement.
But there's a small pocket of
largely overlooked seniors
who, because of their low income, are financially vulnerable
in
retirement.
Unfortunately, expanding the
CPP won't help them.
To begin, it's important to
understand which seniors are
most vulnerable. Statistics
Canada's "low income cut-off"
is not an official measure of
poverty but does indicate
whether someone is likely to

Dear Editor:
While I applaud the intentions of the group that regularly goes to Guatemala to
build homes and do ministry,
the truth of the matter is that
such efforts more often than
not do more harm than good.
While families receive housing that is desperately needed,
being built by international
visitors actually robs the potential jobs such a build would
provide for local workers. Further, the cost of flying the
dozens of people out to the
country from Canada & the
US could help restore entire
communities, literally tens of
thousands of dollars that could
better served elsewhere. I am
sure there are locals who
would say this is a good thing,
but international development
has clearly demonstrated the
contrary.

Rainy River Food Bank news RRDSB Board honours contributions
to student achievement and well-being
The Food Bank is busy this
time of year with serving approximately 40 families from
January to April. We would
like to remind everyone that
we are open only once per
month on the third Monday of
each month so that means we
are open June 20, July 18, and
August 15 for any needy family. Our hours are from 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
If you would like to make a
donation to the Food Bank, we
are pleased to accept donations
of food or money. If you wish
to donate food, please check
the expiration date on it as we
are not allowed to give out expired food.
If you would prefer to get a
tax receipt for your cash dona-
tion, earmark the food bank on
your cheque and give it to your
local church. They will issue
you a tax receipt. Thank you
to all who support our Food
Bank with cash or food donations. We appreciate your
thoughtfulness!
If you are in need of food,
please contact Carolee Hogue,
Myrna Armstrong or Angie
Armstrong.
We welcome all who need to
use our facility.
I am so excited to offer you
something new. The Community Garden has invited the
clients of the Food Bank to
plant a garden in the Community Garden so that you can
have fresh vegetables for your
family! The regular cost to
garden is $30.00 but to the
clients of the Food Bank, it is
FREE! The garden plot is
free! The seeds are free! The
tools are available! There is a
$5.00 fee to get the key but
that is refundable at the end of
the season. It’s a great deal
for us! You might also want to
share a garden with a friend to
share the work! If you are interested, or need more information, please call Deb Ewald
at the Northwestern Health
Unit at 852-3268 or Norma
Blight at home.
The next meeting of the
Food Bank is scheduled for
October. See you then! Have
a safe summer filled with gardening and happiness! See
you in the fall!

and they will continue
throughout the summer leading up to fall fair held every
year in August. Our first meeting was held at the Emo Agricultural Research Station
where many members, old and
new, gathered at 7:00 pm. The
Emo Beef Club welcomed the
new members Trent Wilson,
Serena
Teeple,
Joaquin
Woolsey, Raelle Redford and
Jarred Flatt. We hope they all
enjoy their experience with
their first project. The first
meeting was entirely focussed
on significant paper work
needed for members and their
animals, to be registered in the
program and ideas resulting in
what topics the member’s
were interested in learning
about throughout the summer.
Topics such as learning to
make an adjustable rope halter
for their animal and new techniques for proper showmanship were a few discussed. The
leaders hope to prepare relative lessons that members can
relate to.

The Bookworm Sez by Terri Schlichenmeyer
“Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts” by Susan
Cain, with Gregory Mone and Erica Moroz
Shhhhhhh.
It seems that a lot of kids
need to hear that, but “hush” is
never something you need to
be told twice. You’re naturally
a kid who’s kinda quiet, one
who rarely raises a hand in
class or makes a fuss about
anything. Sure, you do alright
in school, but you’d just as
soon stick to the sidelines and
Susan Cain says that’s okay.
It’s who you are, and in her
new book “Quiet Power”
(with Gregory Mone and Erica
Moroz), she says that you’re
not alone.
As an author, speaker, and
law school graduate, you
might be surprised that Susan
Cain admits to being someone
who once hated big parties,
spotlights and public speaking.
Yes, Cain’s an introvert; so is
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Beyoncé, Emma Watson and Steve
Wozniak, creator of Apple
computers.
Though it’s “one of the most
researched personality traits,”
being an introvert is more than
just a matter of personality.
Studies show that introverts
are more reactive in noisy settings, are more sensitive to
taste, and need quieter backgrounds when concentrating.
Schools, therefore, are generally “not environments for introverts’ nervous systems” but
there are ways to cope there,
as well as at home, in social
situations, and pretty much
Alcoholics Anonymous

everywhere, if you’re an introvert.
At school, Cain says that it’s
important to prepare. In class,
gather your courage and be the
first to speak before conversations veer too off-topic. If you
find yourself in a group project, find “the right role,”
which may be note-taker or researcher. Remember that you
can be a leader; Eleanor Roosevelt didn’t have to shout to
be heard.
Socially, just be yourself. Remember that friends support
you, and Mean Girls don’t always fit that description. Attend parties with someone you
know, but “arrange an out”
when you need it. Know how
to properly use social media,
and be prepared to turn it off
when it’s time for a break.
And finally, understand what
you need, and don’t be afraid
to get it. Find a “restorative
niche,” pair with an extrovert
you trust, discover a creative
outlet you enjoy, and “don’t let
fear be a thief.” Push yourself
to do things you never thought
possible because with practice,
they will be!

In a world filled with noise
and speed, does your 12-to-17year-old prefer to sit out the
chaos? It might help to understand why, and “Quiet
Power” explains.
Using some of the same
points she made in her adult
best-seller, “Quiet,” author
Susan Cain (with Gregory
Mone and Erica Moroz) brings
this subject to a group that arguably has the most need for
this book: adolescents, who
often feel “weird” in their differences. Cain, however, uses
relatable anecdotes and examples to show readers that introversion and introspection
aren’t odd at all, that those
traits are desirable, in fact.
For teens who need the reassurance of those words, this
modern, comprehensive book
is worth consulting again and
again. It offers great advice for
kids and parents, both. From
one introvert to another,
“Quiet Power” can only help,
I’m shhhhhhh-ure.

Kids Garden Club puts seeds in the ground
Emma Williamson proudly stands next to her garden plot.
A lot of work went in to making these garden plots ready for
the kids, and a lot of work will continue to go into them until
harvest season is over. For the volunteers, it takes a lot of patience and preparation to create fun and interactive lessons
for the kids to enjoy.
Samantha Halliday pokes holes in the ground for the bean
seeds to go in, with hopes that eventually the plants will
grow and climb up the garden teepee.
Families came out to support their children and help them
