The weather is looking good
for the week so I am expecting
you will see many farmers rushing around planting and spreading fertilizer. Be patient on the
road as moving this equipment
around from field to field is
often slow going but please take
your time and enjoy the scenery
for those few minutes. Seeding
down new crops on a farm is
necessary to keep your land productive and depending on what
you are planting – it is safe to
say that this will cost around
$300 per acre. This is an expensive time of the year for farmers.
We sold 1008 animals at the
Stratton Sales Barn on Saturday
for $1 750 889.73. It is pretty
safe to say that most of that
money will be spent right here
in Rainy River District. Another
great thing is that nearly $300
000 of those animals stayed
right here as well. Producers
were buying grass cattle and
some were purchasing heifers
for herd expansion so this is
great for Agriculture in our District. It is great to see some of
our young producers buying
some heifers and looking to
grow our herd numbers. I took
a cow that I was expecting to
calve but didn’t. She weighed
over 2000 lbs and I got $1.17
per pound for her. To think that
just a few short years ago cull
cows were only worth $100 and
some people even ended up
owing money since the prices
they received didn’t even cover
shipping costs. Even though I
was sad to see this cow go, it
will certainly help towards my
new bull purchase. That is one
thing about farming – we spend
our money as quickly as we get
it.
The Rainy River Feeder &
Breeder Finance Association
held their Annual Meetings last
week. Congratulations to them
on running quick, smooth elections and filling their boards so
easily. It is obvious that there is
a great need and value to both of

these boards. We are lucky to
have them in our District and
once again it is important to
young producers to have access
to these lending dollars. Even
though you often hear that in
Agriculture we are lacking
youth – I think that in our District we are doing a great job of
encouraging and seeing young
producers become active and involved in this exciting industry.
I was able to attend a Science
Night at SCAP last week and I
focused a bit more on crops than
beef or sheep like I have done in
the past. It was a great night for
the students and their families
and I was happy that they invited Agriculture to be a part of
their night.
We have a barn full of sheep
now! We are waiting on our last
ewe to lamb. She (Saltee) is the
momma that had quads last year
so we are anxiously waiting to
see what she is planning for this
year. We are hoping to have
them all sheared next week and
with the predicted temperatures
for the week the sheep are likely
more excited about their hair
cuts than us!
Have a great week and get out
and enjoy the sun!
Community Living celebrates
Incorporation Milestone!
by Melissa Friesen
On April 29, Community
Living Fort Frances and District will celebrate being incorporated for 50 years!
It's been a rich history for the
company. In 1959, a group of
parents gathered together to
discuss how they could create
opportunities for their children
with developmental disabilities. The parents volunteered
their time to start the ground
work and shortly afterwards
became affiliated with the Ontario Association for the Mentally Retarded. In 1965, under
the name Fort Frances and
District Association for the
Mentally Retarded was incorporated.
The current name was introduced in 2005.
To celebrate 50 years of incorporation, a committee is
working to create a 50th Anniversary booklet. It will outline the history and growth of
the organization. It's being put
together by people who know
the history of the program
since its beginning. Joyce
Zub, an original member, as
well as Jim Keddie and Jack
Steinke who joined in 1960
are part of the team.
"Our history booklet spans
over five decades of: events,
challenges, building projects,
fundraising ventures, providing support and services,
changes in attitudes and the
fundamental understanding of
the value of people participating in the decisions that affect
their lives," Alanna Barr, executive director, wrote.
Over the years, Community
Living has acquired many
properties and implemented
many programs for the district's disabled citizens and
their families. From having
started Fort Kinhaven school,
to their first group home in
1976, and an employment contract with Boise all through the
80's and early 90's, the organization has made great strides.
Over the years they've also
offered life skills programs,
recreation programs, art programs and music programs.
Works of art from their recent
art program can be seen hanging in the office on Mowatt
Avenue.
Upon reflection of its growth
and evolution, there's a lot to
celebrate.
Alanna started thinking

2003 and how they could honour the memories and achievements that have been made.
The celebration dinner will
take place on June 24 at La
Place Rendez-Vous. Tickets
will be made available to the
public for purchase. A guest
speaker will talk about the opportunities for employment in
today's work force.
In response to their efforts to
placing clients with employers
in their interests or skill sets,
they've received a grant of
$300 000 to use over the next
few years from Ministry of
Community and Social Services that will help them coordinate customized
employment.
Alanna educates me on just
how big of a ripple effect
Community Living provides.
"We're a busy organization and
we have about 100 staff. I
don't think people realize how
big we are. We're a major employer."
After recently acquiring the
old Sixth Street school from
the School Board, their goal is
to turn it into a multi-use facility. "We're
looking
at
fundraising ventures to develop the property." As Community Living grows and
develops, it will be exciting to
see what the next 50 years
hold.
Look for more events and information in May, which is
Community Living month in
Northern Ontario.

that we have, is the best day to
have compassion for another
person. "I do it for my mom.
You make a choice and you do
what you have to do and what
you're destined to. I don't want
to get old and someday say, 'I
should have.'"
So she speaks, especially to
children, whose future is wide
open and theirs to determine.
She believes it starts with
showing and knowing love at
home. "Do these things
while you can: saying things to
your mom like, 'I love you. I'm
sorry.' Don't wait, or when
you're an adult you'll regret it."
Nineteen years ago, Eva gave
her first speech in her granddaughter's grade 7/8 French
immersion class. Her blood
pressure was so high she
thought her head might come
off, but she told her story for
the first time. For so long she
had feared that people wouldn't believe her, she didn't want
anyone to know she was Jewish.
"I was silent for 50 years."
While she focused on marriage
and her new family, she couldn't escape her past. Nightmares
haunted her frequently. By talking about it, starting with that
first class in a portable at her
daughter's school, the memories came out. She couldn't be
haunted by what was brought
out into the light. "I'm aware
that silence does not heal."
So since then she's made it
her mission to talk to as many
people as possible, writing
books and even filming a documentary of her return to the
camps. Everything she does is
to build her own legacy. "It's
what you leave behind. The
legacy, that's really where it's
at. When I am gone and my
time is up, those resources will
be there for those kids. Not just
for these kids, but the kids to
follow these kids. And that's
why it's important."
For many, Eva is a reminder
of what hate can accomplish if
people refuse to confront it.
She is the face of suffering and
injustice, still rampant in the
world. She is an advocate for
peace, beginning with the family. She is a friend to those she
meets on the road. She is a soft
and gentle reminder of the
overwhelming triumph of compassion against all odds. From
her beginnings as a young girl
in Hungary who couldn't read
or write, she is the emblem of
perseverance. But she is not a
textbook or merely a historical
figure. She is a person. Do not
let her story die.
Eva Olsson gave a harrowing
presentation at the Townshend
Theatre on Tuesday, April 21
for the community. She also
spoke to school classes in the
district. To learn more or to

Thalidomide victims gravely
concerned by Health Canada's silence
Despite a unanimous vote of
Parliament in December,
Health Canada officials refuse
to provide any details of their
proposed support for the living
victims of Canada's worst-ever
drug tragedy.
The group representing the
living victims of Canada's
worst-ever drug tragedy left a
two-hour meeting with Health
Canada officials in a state of
shock and concern. On March
6th, Health Canada announced
a $180 million support package for Thalidomide victims.
Yet by April 27, more than six
weeks after the Health Canada
announcement
and
five
months after the unanimous
vote of Parliament to fully
support the victims, the group
representing Canada's ninetyfour Thalidomide survivors
feel they are no further ahead
than when they began their
campaign.
"On Monday, we spent two
hours with Health Canada officials," said Ms. Mercedes
Benegbi, head of the task force
representing the victims.
"They made it clear to us that
they cannot answer some of
the most fundamental and important questions for survivors. We left the meeting in
shock."
The questions that Health
Canada is not prepared to answer include: will the Government implement the 4-level
disability plan that Parliament
endorsed unanimously on December 1, and, will it meet the
annual sums as identified in
the victims' proposal, based on
level of disability?
Benegbi said, "The government refuses to answer the
most basic questions that will
put survivors at ease, despite
us providing them with all the
information about successfully
administered programs in the
U.K. and Germany. Something
is stonewalling the desperate
sense of urgency that our survivors are living with every
day."
Benegbi said, "For example,
the government's March 6th
announcement included a
lump sum that was half the
amount we had asked for,
without any explanation.
Based on that experience and
the government's continued refusal to answer our questions,
we are very concerned that future amounts will also be cut.
The program was not even included in the government's
budget announced last week."
Benegbi said, "We have been
crystal
clear:
Canada's
Thalidomide survivors desperately need this funding support
to live the rest of their lives
with a level of dignity. Parliament was unanimous that it
should be "full support,"
which is what Thalidomide
survivors deserve. We will not
accept a discount."
Without immediate intervention, the group representing
the survivors are worried that
the details of the annual program will be deferred until
after the federal election on
October 19, 2015.
"Some people in the government just cannot seem to understand the urgency of this,"
said Benegbi. "We began our
campaign twelve months ago
with ninety-seven survivors.
Today, ninety-four remain."

Toronto law student hasn't Canada's tax system requires
forgotten his local roots
swift simplification
by Melissa Friesen
Far away from the humble
skyline of Fort Frances, I hurried myself past Toronto's skyscrapers to get to the Fairmont
Royal York Hotel lobby by
1:45 PM. I walked along the
water with the runners, gaped at
the CN Tower, dodged the sidewalk construction, and eventually made it to the mini mall
underneath the hotel. Ahh,
stairs. Cities have so many of
them, don't they?
I was slightly out of breath by
the time I propped myself near
the lobby's centre piece clock
tower and scanned the room. I
was looking for Doug Judson:
a man in a suit somewhere in
the beehive of well dressed individuals.
In fact, he represents an important part of that hive, having
worked (and worked) his way
into some elite professional circles during his 4 years of law
school.
When I sat down with him on
Wednesday, he was writing his
last paper for his joint law degree and MBA from Osgoode
Hall Law School and the
Schulich School of Business at
York University.
To complete his license to
practice law, Doug will be
spending 10 months articling
with McCarthy Tétrault, one
of the country's leading law
firms. Before all that however,
he has to write the bar exam in
June.
He admits that he's a procrastinator, but before you jump to
conclusions about Netflix
marathons or late night city escapades, you have to know that
Doug is a very busy man. It's
what helps him keep his sanity.
"Make no mistake: the rumours are true - law school is a
pile of work and it is very competitive. It can eat you alive if
you don't try to hack your way
through the thicket with some
things you enjoy," he said.
His education has afforded
him a wide variety of opportunities to take part in milestone
projects. When we spoke, he
had just wrapped up his term as
President of the Law Students'
Society of Ontario, and continued to serve on the Board of Directors for Out On Bay Street,
an organization which provides
networking, mentoring, and recruitment opportunities for
LGBTQ youth pursuing careers
in business and law. He's also
the Vice-Chair of the Ontario
Bar Association's LGBTQ section.
Doug is also a co-founder of
a web-based non-profit organization in the legal sector, called
JusticeFundr.ca, and mentions
that he's taught a weekly class
for undergraduate business students for the past years. "Teaching has been a very rewarding
experience... if not a depressing
reminder of how old I am," he
mused.
When I ask him about the
blurring lines of business and
personal life in his monstrous
schedule, he shrugs and tells
me that he really does enjoy
what he does. Even though
there's an appointment looming
after mine, he doesn't seem to
be pressed for time while I interview him. Even more so,
there's a hospitality to him that
reminds me of a slower pace of
life, closer to his roots. After
all, it's likely that same hospitality that directed him to agree
to my interview on short notice.
When he left the Rainy River
District 11 years ago, he couldn't have predicted that he would
get to work on Parliament Hill,
and from there, begin pursuing
work in law.
"My path has been rather
serendipitous," he says. He
points to various education and
career markers, including his
first professional job, working
for former area MP Ken Boshcoff, as part of shaping his career interests. Politics lead to
law and now it's becoming full
circle. "Today my interests
largely sit at intersection of politics, public policy, and law," he
explained.
Somewhere in the midst of all
that is a loyalty and respect for
the place he was raised and the
kind of people who live there.
"You do not need to look very
far in the Rainy River District
to see people that work extremely hard and pour everything into what they do to make
it glisten - whether that's running a small business, keeping
a community initiative going,
engaging a classroom, or supporting their church. So for me,
these realizations reflect both
the ethic I try to put into my
work, but also remind me to try
to give a hand up to those that
come after me," he says.
He admits that coming from a
small town has its own version
of challenges, forcing him to
learn a lot of things from
scratch.
"You've probably never met a
Bay Street lawyer, an investment banker, or private equity
manager and don't know what
they do, or if you're capable of
it, and you're surrounded by
what seems like a limitless supply of peers and classmates to
the manor born. It can be daunting," he reflects.
When he needs to get back
home, he does what he can to
make it happen. In fact, he does
it often. Since enrolling in law
school in 2011, he's made numerous trips back to the Northwest to visit family and get
some perspective. Yet, when he
simply can't make the trip, he
need not look very far for some
hometown inspiration either Allison Williams of Emo is one
of his Osgoode classmates.
Eleven years ago, they were
high school seniors ready to
leave their small town behind
them. Today it's evident that
hasn't happened, but rather it's
sewn into their futures.
Somewhere in the heart of
Toronto, in a law office or in a
hotel lobby, you'll find a little
bit of the Rainy River.

The Fraser Institute
Filed your taxes yet? You've
got until Thursday at midnight. After that, according to
the federal government, you're
officially in arrears.
Unfortunately,
due
to
Canada's increasingly complex tax system, Canadians
today face greater challenges
filing their taxes than they did
just 20 years ago. Things have
gotten a lot more complicated.
For instance, consider the actual legislation - the federal Income Tax Act - which is
literally growing in size.
As noted in a recent Fraser
Institute study, between 1990
and 2014, the Act's text area
(the number of pages multiplied by the size of the pages)
increased by 62 per cent-from
974,050 cm2 to 1,575,537
cm2.
It's important to consider text
area because, while the number of pages declined slightly
(by 4 per cent), the size of the
pages increased 69 per cent
over the same period.
Here's an idea. If you were to
lay out all the pages of the Act
side-by-side, you'd cover the
same area as 40 king-size
beds. Or 38 ping pong tables.
More growth. From 1991 to
2011, the number of federal
personal income tax expenditures (credits, deductions, exemptions,
exclusions)
increased to 123 from 105. At
the same time, the number of
corporate tax expenditures
rose to 64 from 48.
A better and simpler alternative to littering the tax code
with boutique credits is to cut
tax rates broadly. The added
benefit, of course, is improved
economic incentives for work,
saving, investment and entrepreneurship.
Legion Chat
by Walter Wagner, Major
Hughes Br. 54 president
A group of musicians
jammed in the Legion on Saturday. If the public is interested in these country jams
please let us know.
Starting this week the Legion
is handling Meals on Wheels
for the month of May.
The General Meeting will be
held on Wednesday the 29th at
7:00 pm. We have requests for
donations and a new member
to be admitted by our members. See you there.
We Will Remember Them
But it doesn't stop there.
From 2001 to 2011, the federal
personal income tax guide,
which includes information
and instruction intended to
help tax preparers, actually increased in size by 25 per cent
- to 70 from 56 pages.
Why are these numbers important?
Because each new page, each
new addition, can add to the
complexity of Canada's tax
system. And the more complex
the system, the more difficult
- and often, more costly - that
system is to navigate.
Today, Canadian families
and businesses incur significant costs, above and beyond
what they already pay in taxes,
to merely comply with the tax
system. They spend time and
money collecting and organizing tax receipts, and working
with accountants. If necessary,
they hire lawyers. (In 2011,
there were 499 court cases related to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) - up from 320
in 1993.)
Many Canadians, feeling
overwhelmed by the tax system, buy computer software
programs to help them weave
through Canada's tax maze.
And remember, these costs
add no value to society. They
don't pay for new factories or
new machinery or new jobs.
They don't improve lives
through investments in education or training. And they certainly don't increase living
standards - in fact, they reduce
incomes and the time available
for family and friends.
Most disturbing, perhaps, is
that Canada's tax compliance
costs fall disproportionately on
lower-income Canadians who
pay the highest share of their
income to comply with the tax
system.
Similarly, on the business
front, smaller businesses pay a
higher cost (as a share of revenues) to comply with the tax
system than larger Canadian
businesses.
In short, our complex tax
system imposes costs on those
least able to afford them.
Paradoxically, there's also an
increased cost to government.
As the tax system grows more
dense, the government can
spend more time and money
managing it, which, of course,
may translate into more costs
for taxpayers.
So what's the solution?
Simply put, simplify it.
Make the tax system easier to
understand and less expensive.
If you're a taxpayer, this would
lighten your load, reducing the
amount of time and money required to meet that looming
April 30 deadline.
And if you're the government, you'll free up resources,
currently
dedicated
to
Canada's tax web, that could
be used for other priorities including pro-growth tax relief
for individual Canadians and
businesses.
In the United Kingdom, they
have an Office of Tax Simplification, which measures tax
complexity with an eye on reducing it. There's nothing like
that in Canada. If policymakers are genuinely interested in
helping Canadians keep more
of their money - a common
claim made during budget season - they should act now.
Next year's deadline is only 12
months away.

See our ad in this week’s paper!
From the house submitted by John Rafferty M.P.
After much stalling and anticipation federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver finally rose to
present his budget to parliament this week, but it’s clear
that the Conservative’s only
plan is to help the wealthy and
pass the costs onto future generations of Canadians.
After listening to the budget
speech and reviewing the 584page propaganda document
New Democrats have concluded that we cannot support
the budget. It is clear that the
Conservatives only managed to
balance the budget by selling
off our shares in General Motors at below market value ($3
billion), by raiding the contingency fund put aside for natural
disasters at the start of the year
($2 billion), and by dipping
into our Employment Insurance
fund ($1.8 billion). The GM
shares could have been sold on
the open market for far more
money and the billions taken
from the contingency fund
means that any disaster like the
Calgary floods of 2013 will immediately put the budget back
into deficit. As for dipping into
the EI fund, that money is deducted from our paycheques to
help us pay the bills in the
event we lose our jobs. It was
never meant to be raided to
fund tax cuts for the wealthy
and is why it is called ‘Employment Insurance Fund’ and not
the ‘Charity for the Wealthy
Fund.’
With that being said, not
everything in the budget was
bad. In fact, the best ideas in it
were put forward by New Democrats. The reduction of the
small business income tax rate
from 11% to 9%, has been demanded by New Democrats
since 2008 and we recently announced that it would be in our
2015 election platform. Another good move was the reform of the mandatory
withdrawal schedule for Registered Retirement Income Funds
(RRIFs) which I had recently
called for in a Private Members’ Motion (M-595). I would
support these policies if the
Conservatives had the courage
to table them as the separate
bills as they should, but they
don’t and won’t.
In spite of liking a few items
the rest of the document is
nothing more than a plan to buy
the next election by passing the
cost of expensive new tax cuts
for the wealthy onto future generations. In particular, the introduction of income splitting for
high earning married couples
with young children and the
doubling of the annual contribution limit for Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) to
$10,000 per year come with
huge financial costs, will benefit only the wealthiest Canadians, and sap money from the
budgets of future generations
of Canadians. It is estimated by
the Parliamentary Budget Officer that just the wealthiest 15%
of Canadian households will
realize any benefit from the
Conservatives income splitting
program, and just 11% of
Canadians will benefit at all
from the increase in the contribution limit for TFSA’s. Given
that both require very high income levels and the ability to
save thousands of dollars each
year, it is clear that the wealthiest 11% of Canadians will be
the ones who split more than
$3.3 billion this year --- and
each and every year moving
forward.
Finally, it’s always a useful
exercise to see what is not men-
tioned in the budget. In this
year’s budget, you will not find
the following phrases; ‘Northern Ontario,’ ‘Ring of Fire,’ or
‘Climate Change.’ You can
quarrel with one or another not
being in there, but missing all
three tells me that this government just doesn’t have a plan to
help our region grow its economy, to help develop the Ring
of Fire, or to live up to its own
embarrassingly small targets
for reducing greenhouse gas
emissions.
The budget speech has been
heard, but the implementation
bill is where all the skeletons
are hidden. As we examine that
bill with a fine tooth comb in
the coming weeks, and outside
of the NDP ideas that were
poached, there is zero reason to
support this budget which will
do nothing more than help the
wealthy who need it the least
and download the costs of
those expensive tax cuts onto
future generations. Canadians,
our children, and grandchildren
deserve better.
A thank you on behalf of Bev Storkson
On December 10th, 2014, a
benefit supper was held in
Bev's honour to help out with
expenses as she continues to
battle health issues. A huge
thank you is owed to her
friends and co-workers at
Safeway who provided a wonderful meal and organized the
set-up and clean-up. A special
thanks to Kelly Scott (and
Trevor) for pulling it all together. Anything they could
do, they did. We realize it did
take a group effort from collecting the donations, preparing & serving the food,
organizing the penny tables
etc. A lot of time and energy
went into organizing such an
event, it didn't get done in a
Limited Quantities
day. The community support
for the event was phenomenal.
From the wonderful items
given for the penny table, not
only from businesses but individuals as well, to the amount
of people that came and donated for the Spaghetti Supper-thank you! Some people
were not able to make the dinner but made donations anyway thank you A huge
thank-you as well to everyone
that travelled, and took time
out of their day for her. It was
truly appreciated and heartfelt.
We can't possibly thank everyone who was part of such. a
big undertaking by name, but
we do know who Bev's friends
truly are, they're you! Thank
you as well for the use of the
Church of the Holy Spirit and
to Rev. Sean for saying Grace.
Thanks again to Bev’s “second family” at Safeway!
What you have done for her
was not expected, but we
should not have been surprised
knowing she has friends like
you.
Most of all thanks to the
community for your generous
support. We are so lucky to
live in a wonderful community
and surrounding area where
everyone cares about each
other.
Forever grateful,
Bev and sisters Sharon,
Brenda, Annette & Lisa
