Rainy River High School students host arts festival

Kim Desserre, mother of Jordan who is one of the originators of the event, enjoys the fruits of his and fellow students'
hard work.
The first ever Rainy River
High School Arts Festival and
Auction held on Feb 7th from
7:00 to 10:00 pm was a phenomenal success. Approximately $1600.00 was raised in
total from admissions, auction
proceeds and donations.
The night started with people
coming in and viewing art
from community members and
students. This was followed by
a program of live entertainment. Emcees for the night
were Jeffery Marchuk and Jordan Desserre who introduced
the entertainers. Performances
started off with Jeff and Emily
Fraser singing songs from
Phantom of the Opera accompanied by Jacquie Dufresne
playing the piano. Next, Abbie
Pearson read her poem “Self
Doubt and Sadness” and this

students before the entertainment and auction began.

singing and playing instruments. This musical family
was then followed by Hunter
Nielson reading his poem
“Lost at Sea” and then the
drama club came forward to
perform a one minute skit of
Cinderella and play an entertaining game of “Lines from a
Hat”. After the audience managed to stop laughing Abigail
Tolen sang “Grenade” alongside Kira Olsen who was playing the piano. This was
followed by Jeffery Marchuk
reading his poem “The Road
Home” and the entertainment
concluded with Victoria Lindal singing “All I Want.”
The auction began with volunteer auctioneer James Doyle
auctioning off 37 pieces of student made and donated art.
With competitive bidding and
fierce competition, all the art
sold for amazing prices. The
highest bids went to two floral
paintings by local artist Bob
Sawchuk. The emcees thanked
everyone and the night came
to a very successful conclusion.
This event would not have
been possible without the as-

a restaurant kitchen, she can

There are lots of plans for the
future but she is wisely taking
one small step at a time. The
bar area is still a work in
progress but in the future she
hopes to take advantage of the
big screen TV she's installed
and offer appetizers and baskets. A plan for catering
events is also in the works.
And, of course, as time goes

So now's the time for thinking, dreaming, planning and
lots of hard work.

Today is the official due date
for my cows to start calving! I
am hoping that they might
hold off for a couple more
days since it looks like the
temperatures might be a bit
more tolerable. I have been
getting up every few hours in
the night since the 1st - just in
case! I have been putting
cows and heifers in and out of
the barn just to warm the barn
up and for the first time
calvers - it is nice for them to
learn the system rather than
chasing them around in the
middle of the night once they
are calving! Maddie and Marlee have been thinking about
names since last year at calving! Since it’s an Olympic
year - we will likely have a
Sochi and maybe a few other
Canadian stars! I love the
Winter Olympics and find it a
great time passer while you are
waiting for a calf to arrive.
February 7th, 2014 was Food
Freedom Day in Canada!
That’s the date when the aver-
age Canadian has earned
enough income to pay for their
annual grocery bill, and its one
week earlier than 2013. Food
Freedom Day recognizes the
abundance of food we enjoy as
Canadians - and at a relatively
low cost. We’re pretty lucky
to live in a country with such
affordable food, while enjoying some of the highest production, environmental and
food safety standards.
I am sure most of you seen
the 2014 Super Bowl Commercials. 2 of the more popular ones were from Budweiser
and the Chevy trucks. Kind of
neat how agriculture makes its
way into the Super Bowl! If
you haven’t seen them they are
worth checking out - Budweiser features the beautiful
Clydesdales and a Labrador
retriever pup and the Chevy is
a cowboy, truck / trailer and a
Hereford bull and cows. Sure
made my day - my favourite
dog and breed of cattle!
The last few weeks have
been so exciting for Agriculture in the North. It somewhat
overwhelms me; but it is simply awesome that so many
people are waking up to the
fact the Agriculture needs to
grow and the North is the best
place to do this. People are
looking at us and our products
to make their businesses grow
and expand. The Beef Farmers of Ontario are hosting their
Annual Meeting next week in
Toronto and are having a panel
discussion on “Farming in the
North!” I am so pleased that
Joe Sletmoen agreed to participate in this. (I only had to
sweet talk him a bit!) It’s a
great way to get the message
out that we are farming and
farming well in the North.
And it’s great that Joe is a
young producer trying to make
this his way of life! Now, if
we only have more time - but
we will find away to make
things happen because that is
what we do well here!
Who killed Canada
Post's banking study?
Canada Post Corporation
(CPC) conducted a secret fouryear study on postal banking,
which seems to indicate that
getting into financial services
would be "a win-win strategy"
and a "proven money-maker"
for the corporation. CPC's research study was stopped cold
in the fall of 2013, just before
the post office announced a
five-point plan of massive cuts
and steep rate hikes.
Blacklock's Reporter obtained the internal report, including a management report
entitled Banking: A Proven
Diversification
Strategy,
through an Access to Information request. 701 of its 811
pages were redacted.
"Based on what we have
learned so far," says Gayle
Bossenberry, 1st National
Vice-President of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers
(CUPW), "it seems the report
was on track to confirm the
recommendations of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), and vindicate
what postal workers have been
saying: there's a great potential
here to keep the public postal
service self-sufficient. But instead they killed the research
and buried the report."
Other countries like Switzerland, New Zealand, Italy and
France have bolstered the fortunes of their post offices with
revenues from postal banking.
In these countries, the public
enjoys a stable public postal
service, and increased access
to banking. According to the
Blacklock's article on the report, "profits in Canadian
banking averaged 20.5 percent
a year", including President's
Choice and Canadian Tire's financial services.
John Anderson -- author of
the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternative's 2013 paper on
postal banking -- was surprised by the CPC study but
not its content: "I think anyone
seriously studying the subject
would see the same opportunity. With 6500 post offices,
Canada Post could have the
most extensive financial services infrastructure in the country, right off the bat."
"If they were looking at
postal banking, why did they
consistently tell CUPW that it
was not an option they would
consider?" asked Bossenberry,
adding "And who killed the
study?"

This week my time away
from the riding was spent
working on two very different
issues; the proposed new undemocratic elections law that was
hastily introduced by the Conservative government, and the
future development of the Ring
of Fire.
At the start of the week, the
Conservative government of
Stephen Harper tabled Bill C23 which directly targets the
head of Elections Canada by
reducing his power to investigate complaints and communicate with the public. If C-23
passes it will also prevent Elections Canada from engaging in
any campaigns to increase
voter turnout, and actually
make it more difficult for many
Canadian citizens to vote - the
ones who don’t usually vote for
the Conservative Party of
course.
That’s right, as the Conservatives face numerous criminal
charges for using ‘robocalls’ to
misinform Liberal and NDP
voters in Guelph about the location of their voting station,
accepting illegal corporate donations, overspending on at
least three campaigns, and
which has already pled guilty
to illegally transferring money
between ridings and their central campaign to undermine the
spending ceiling the Harper
Conservatives have decided it
is just easier to declare war on
Elections Canada than to obey
the law.
Bill C-23 is huge – 242 pages
in all – and would change the
role and responsibilities of
Elections Canada which, of
course, was not consulted on
the drafting of this bill about
elections. The most shocking
outcomes of the bill that I have
seen so far include the fact that
Elections Canada will be
barred from engaging in any
communication with the Canadian public designed to increase voter turnout, would
give new powers to the unelected and unaccountable
Canadian Senate by allowing it
to ‘veto’ any new voting practices (ie: electronic voting) or
other changes to the voting
process, and would disenfranchise poor, homeless, aboriginal, student, and youth voters
by tightening identification
rules – a practice known as
“voter suppression.”
The last half of the week was
more positive as I played host
to many New Democrat MPs in
Thunder Bay prior to heading
out on a tour of the Ring of
Fire. On Thursday, I was
joined by NDP MPs Claude
Gravelle (Nickel Belt), our
Aboriginal Affairs Critic Jean
Crowder
(NanaimoCowichen), and our Deputy
Leader Megan Leslie (Halifax)
for a townhall meeting that focused on how to develop the
Ring of Fire in a profitable and
environmentally responsible
way with the support and approval of the First Nations
communities that live in the
area and who hold claim over
much of the territory.
The four of us were joined
Friday by others for a tour of
the region including; NDP Natural Resource Critic Peter Julian
(Burnaby-New
Westminster),
Romeo
Saganash
(Abitibi—BaieJames—Nunavik—Eeyou),
and Mike Mantha the NDP
Member of Provincial Parliament for Algoma - Manitoulin.
Together, we are touring the region with several stops including a meeting with the Matawa
Tribal Council, Eabametoongn
First Nation, and a site visit to
KWG’s Koper Lake chromite
mine among others.
So overall it was a week of
minuses and plusses. The Conservatives continue to denigrate
our democracy by muzzling
Elections Canada and disenfranchising voters, while my
New Democrat colleagues and
I fought against that and
worked to learn more about the
Ring of Fire in an effort to spur
economically and environmentally sustainable development
that benefits all who live and
work throughout our region.
UPDATE: As this column
was being written the Conservative government invoked
what is known as legislative
“closure” on Bill C-23, which
means they used their majority
to limit debate and move it
through parliament as fast as
possible. MPs will now have
just TWO WEEKS to read, debate, and vote on this 242 page
bill that will fundamentally
change the way elections are
conducted in our country.
Oh…and they did it with the
support of Justin Trudeau’s
Liberal Party caucus. I can assure you that both the Harper
Conservatives and Trudeau
Liberals will have a fight on
their hands regarding this antidemocratic elections bill.

this meeting will be addressing
how the government is handling Veterans Affairs.
It looks like our branch will

Canadians want successful
employment and skills training programs saved while governments figure out Canada
Job Grant
Canadians across the country
have shown their support in
preserving vital employment
and skills training programs
under the current federalprovincial/territorial Labour
Market Agreements (LMA),
now threatened by the federal
Canada Job Grant. Valuable
employment programs for
Canada's most vulnerable populations are at risk of being
chopped as governments negotiate the new national job
grant. All governments must
work together to preserve the
proven LMA training initiatives, alongside any new training programs like the Canada
Job Grant (CJG). With a new
federal budget scheduled for
February 11th, the clock is
ticking.
In support of LMA-funded
initiatives, Canadians generated over one million Twitter
impressions through a crosscountry social media day on
January 15, 2014, organized
by the Employability Training
Alliance (ETA). LMA success
stories were shared by businesses, training organizations
and participants, and various
levels of government. The
ETA is a national group of organizations supporting job creation and skills training.
Chris Atchison, ETA member and chair of The Canadian
Coalition of Community
Based Employability Training,
said, "The overwhelming support from Canadians in joining
this national conversation on
the achievements of workforce
training
through
LMAs
demonstrates that we need to
make sure these programs and
services aren't thrown out.
Changes shouldn't be made
unless alternatives will give all
Canadians the chance to gain
the skills and knowledge to
fully participate in the labour
market."
In addition to the enthusiastic
support Canadians across the
country showed for the value
of LMA employment training
and services and the benefit to
taxpayers and the economy,
the Department of Employment and Social Development,
the federal body responsible
for the LMAs, also documented their effectiveness. A
department report found that
86% of LMA participants
were employed after completing job training programs
(compared to 44% before entering), with average earnings
increased by $323 per week.
Business, labour and community leaders, alongside
training experts, strongly
agree that programming and
services under the Labour
Market Agreements are working and that if Canada needs a
new national grant program, it
shouldn't come at the expense
of successful LMA initiatives.
Said Alan Odette, president of
the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, "Pulling funds out of
existing programs that seem to
be working well is not, to my
mind, a good way to go".
Ontario
Federation
of
Labour President Sid Ryan
said, "Under the guise of addressing skills shortages, the
Canada Job Grant will actually
divert crucial funding for literacy training and skills upgrading away from vulnerable
workers who need it mostwomen, immigrants, young
workers and older workers."
The Employability Training
Alliance commends efforts by
the provinces and territories in
standing up for quality employment and skills programs
for Canadians who need them
most. Provinces and territories
have been on the right side of
this issue since the Canada Job
Grant was first announced and
advertised in 2013. The ETA
urges the federal government
to maintain full funding of
Labour Market Agreements, in
addition to negotiating terms
and conditions for any other
labour market initiatives.

NDP to Hydro One: Come
clean on refund policy
In the following open letter
sent yesterday to Hydro One
CEO Carmine Marcello, NDP
Nickel Belt MPP France Gélinas calls for clarification of the
company’s refund policy, and
redress for affected consumers.
While company representatives
have stated that their policy is
to refund overbilled ratepayers,
reports are coming in from
Hydro One customers across
the province who say they are
being denied refunds. Hydro
One is saying one thing and
doing another.

RE: Overbilling errors and

Mr. Carmine Marcello;

practices of Hydro One, company spokesperson Tiziana

will … be refunded” (Windsor
Star, Feb. 4, 2014). However,
ratepayers from across the
province say they have been
given a very different message.
My office and the offices of
my caucus colleagues have
been inundated with complaints about the billing practices of Hydro One. One of the
most common complaints is
that Hydro One refuses to issue
refunds for overbilling, issuing
credit for future services instead, even when the overbilling amount is in the
thousands of dollars. I am writing to you today to urge you to
clarify Hydro One’s policy on
refunds, and to ensure refunds
are issued immediately to overbilled ratepayers.
Don Alemany, from Worthington, is one of many constituents who have reached out
to my office for help with
Hydro One billing issues. Mr.
Alemany’s smart meter stopped
transmitting usage data in April
of 2013. Since then, his power
bills based on ‘estimated’ usage
have continued to climb, and
are now more than twice what
the actual usage shown on his

There is nothing unique about
Don’s situation.
My office has been contacted
by dozens of Nickel Belt residents facing similar problems.
My colleagues’ offices have received many more complaints.
This is an issue affecting hundreds, if not thousands, of Ontarians.
As a publicly owned crown
corporation, Hydro One is accountable to the people of Ontario. The company needs to
issue an official clarification of
their policy on refunds, and ensure their customer service department is following that
policy. Hydro One should, as
the saying goes ‘put their
money where their mouth is’ by
issuing refunds to all clients
who have been overbilled immediately. Ontarians are already frustrated by rapidly
climbing hydro rates and a mismanaged provincial power system. They should not be
additionally burdened by overinflated bills and unreasonable
refund policies.
I hope for a prompt reply, and
swift action to address the situation.
Sincerely,

NCDS + you = opportunities
Northern Community Development Services (NCDS) is
committed to assisting everyone affected by the recent announcement by Resolute
Forest Products. The Employment Services organization is
funded by the Ministry of
Training, Colleges and Universities and has been serving
the Rainy River District for
over 40 years. The knowledgeable team at NCDS is dedicated to helping those who are
seeking their next opportunity.
“It is a common misconception that NCDS only services
youth,” says Sarah Marusyk,
Marketing Coordinator. Currently, the largest age group
the organization assists is 30 to
44 year-olds. Since April
2013, 6,460 people have
walked through the door at
NCDS. However, it’s not all
about numbers; NCDS offers
personalized service to each
and every client, taking the
time necessary to meet their
unique needs.
Typically, step one is creating or updating a resume. “We
find the majority of the public
haven’t worked on a resume in
years, and it’s our job to sit
down at a computer with the
client and help them prepare a
resume that showcases their
skills and extensive experience,” says Mandy Lahti, Resource
and
Information
Coordinator. Tailoring your
resume for the job you’re applying to, preparing a suitable
list of references and making a
good first impression with
your cover letter are key ingredients to getting noticed by
employers. NCDS can provide
you with tips and strategies for
preparing a well written cover
letter that captures the hiring
manager’s attention and shows
specifically how your skills
will meet their needs.
NCDS is devoted to helping
those looking for work, even if
that work is outside of Fort
Frances. Both NCDS Fort
Frances and Emo office locations have up-to-date job
boards that include job postings from local and out of
province employers. Their
website (www.ncds4jobs.ca)
also boasts a long list of helpful job searching links. Of
course, staff members are
available to help clients with
all computer use—including
navigating the Internet.
Workshops such as WHMIS,
Interview Skills, Employer
Expectations, Smart Serve,
and First Aid & CPR are
scheduled for the month of
February. For those that
haven’t experienced a job in-
NCDS gives warm
welcome to Nicke Baird
The Board of Directors and
staff of Northern Community
Development
Services
(NCDS) are thrilled to welcome Nicke Baird to the employment
services
organization as Executive Director, effective Monday, February 10, 2014.
Nicke comes to the organization with three and a half years
of experience as the Director
of Riverside Foundation for
Healthcare and Director of
Communications for Riverside. She has a diploma in Advertising
Marketing
&
Communications Management
and extensive experience managing her own businesses. “I
am excited to begin working
with the community from a career development angle.
Building a community is a
passion of mine. The staff at
the fall of 2013, and 13 years
of successful delivery of the
Job Connect Program up to
2010 when the organization
implemented Employment
Ontario’s full suite of services.
“We thank Jennifer for all her
hard work and dedication over
the years and wish her all the
best in her retirement,” says
Steve Maki, Board President.
NCDS offers employment
services to clients of all ages
and employment circumstances—unemployed, employed, underemployed, and
those who have experienced a
lay-off. Services include assistance with the creation of a resume and cover letter, local
and Canada-wide job searching, online job applications
and resources, training and educational opportunities, assistance with the application
process for a number of Ontario Government programs,
networking and more.
NCDS are energetic, fun and
successful and I feel privileged
to be a part of the team,” says
Nicke. Board President, Steve
Maki, says “Nicke is well
known for her energetic and
outgoing personality. Her experience, enthusiasm and the
relationships she has fostered
with community members will
be tremendously beneficial to
her success at NCDS.”
After 18 years of service
with NCDS, previous Executive Director, Jennifer Greenhalgh,
announced
her
retirement in the fall of 2013.
With assistance from dedicated employees, Greenhalgh’s achievements included

behavioural-based interviews
and practicing your skills in a
mock interview can be tremendously helpful. Courses like
Fall Protection Awareness,

also available through NORCAT eLearning. In addition to

you’re wrestling with. It’s frustrating. You’ve tinkered and
poked at it and you’re finally
convinced that what you need
is for somebody to invent a…
So why not you? Author Patricia Nolan-Brown says that
anyone can be an inventor, and
in her new book “Idea to Invention,” she tells you how.
They say that necessity is the
mother of invention, and Patricia Nolan-Brown embodies
that old saw. Just after she became a mother for the first
time, she noticed a need for a
product that wasn’t on store
shelves – so she invented it.
But inventing – putting your
ideas out there for acceptance
or rejection – might seem scary.
You’ve seen TV’s Shark Tank.
You’ve seen wannabes who go
broke obsessing over hairbrained ideas. You have to be
rich, super-talented, and highly
educated be an inventor, right?
No, says Nolan-Brown. “Ordinary people create their own
success all the time…” As long
as you keep in mind “six-plussix,” you can do it, too.
First,
cultivate
an
“I.N.V.E.N.T.”
personality.

Maintain a childlike Inquisitiveness. Be curious and observant. Practice your Nerve to
stay the course and ignore
naysayers. Use your Voice to
display your passion. Keep
your Energy level high by taking care of you. Feed your
dreams the proper Nourishment
by surrounding yourself with
“cheerleaders.” And stick with
it. Tenacity is the key.
Next, think about your product while researching. Is there
something else like it in stores?
Does your idea improve on
something that’s already available? Who’s your potential
customer?
Become familiar with terms
and procedures you’ll need to
know in order to bring your
product to market. Determine
the answers to “So what? Who
Cares? What’s in it for me?” Be
careful to keep your ideas quiet
while you’re in the early stages,
before you’ve filed for a patent
– which, incidentally, may be
something you can do yourself.
Finally, put fear of failure
aside and “try something on
your own.” Says Nolan-Brown,
“… the longest journey begins
with a single step. It’s time to
take it.”
Did you ever see something
useful / unique / cool and say,
“I coulda thought of that.” Now
you will, with “Idea to Invention.”
With overflowing enthusiasm, author Patricia NolanBrown helps readers take their
creative notions from mind to
market,
step-by-side-step.
Though she calls it “simple,” I
thought her method was anything but: there’s a lot to know
when you’re an inventing entrepreneur, including that
things get complicated.
But that’s okay. Nolan-Brown
is very thorough here, and answers all kinds of issues before
they’d normally pop up on the
path to production. That’s helpful, like someone holding your
hand in the process.
If you’ve had a brainstorm for
a new product but you don’t
have a clue how to proceed, get
to a bookshelf soon. This Bible
for Builders should be the next
thing you read. For you, “Idea
to Invention” is what I seriously think you need.

Creator removes Flappy Bird
by Jacquie Dufresne
The creator of Flappy Bird
has removed the popular
game from both the Apple
App Store and Google Play.
I mention this only because
I downloaded it myself and
it is without doubt the most
annoying, difficult game I
have ever tried and have
made it past the first pillar
only once.
Users who have already
installed the game will be
able to keep playing it, but
it is not possible for new
users to download the
game, which was at the top
of the free-apps chart for
both Apple iOS and Android devices before being
Driving along Colonization Road on Saturday about 3:00 pm we saw these two young girls
scramble to the top of the snow bank. As we got closer we could see that they were proudly
standing in unison holding a handmade Olympic torch in support of the Canadian athletes
who are attending the Sochi Olympics. How sweet is that! We turned around & took a
picture of them with our iPhone.

removed. Dong Nguyen,
the game’s developer, on
Saturday tweeted that he
would remove Flappy Bird
from the app stores, just a
few days after telling the
Verge that Flappy Bird was
making about $50,000 a day
on average from advertisements. ”I just cannot keep it
anymore,” Nguyen said in
one of his tweets. Nguyen
said he has not sold the
game nor did he remove it
for legal reasons. It is unclear why he decided to take
it down. But the independent developer said he will
continue to make more
games.

This event is free for all, and all
are welcome.
On Friday, February 7th,
Prime Minister Stephen
Harper unveiled an education
plan for First Nations that recognizes aboriginal control
over schooling. Harper also
promised an additional $1.9
billion in funding for aboriginal education starting in 2015.
Assembly of First Nations
National Chief Shawn Atleo
supports the plan, saying that
the AFN "will continue to find
the ways to work together.
First Nations have a clear plan
and we will, together, achieve
change for our children."
Frontier College President
and CEO Sherry Campbell
says this is a step in the right
direction. "Chief Atleo has
been working hard to get the
government to this point.
Frontier College works in partnership with Aboriginal communities across the country,
and are pleased that this government understands the need
to invest in Aboriginal education."
Frontier College offers Aboriginal Summer Literacy
Camps in 84 communities
across Canada. Children participate in fun, educational activities with the goal of
developing language, literacy
and numeracy skills. Through
a daily routine of individual
and group reading, journal
writing, games, arts and crafts,
cultural activities, field trips
and opportunities to learn with
special guests from their home
communities, campers increased their vocabulary, read-
ing, writing and math skills, as
well as social skills and learner
confidence, preparing them for
the school year ahead.
Some interesting facts you may
not know
It takes glass one million
years to decompose, which
means it never wears out and
can be recycled an infinite
amount of times!
Gold is the only metal that
doesn't rust, even if it's buried
in the ground for thousands of
years.
Your tongue is the only muscle in your body that is attached at only one end.
If you stop getting thirsty, you
need to drink more water.
When a human body is dehydrated, its thirst mechanism
shuts off.
Each year 2,000,000 smokers
either quit smoking or die of tobacco-related diseases.
The roar that we hear when
we place a seashell next to our
ear is not the ocean, but rather
the sound of our own blood
surging through the veins in the
ear.
