The temperature dropped from -13C to -30C in a very short time. Our property backs on to
the Rainy River which is on the Canada/USA border and it rarely freezes over. A strong ice
mist developed over the open water. This also created a lunar halo (ring around the moon)
& a corona (glow around the moon). It was absolutely beautiful!

Rainy River Librarian
wins Provincial award
Rainy
River
Librarian
Michael Dawber has won a
provincial award for promoting
libraries.
The Ontario Library Association will give their annual
Media and Communications
Award to Dawber later this
month.
“Over the last 16 years, I have
worked very hard to tell each library’s story effectively, efficiently and with good humor,”
Dawber says.
“Small libraries are vital to
the health of small communities,” he adds. "Their stories are
always linked."
Dawber has been writing for
public libraries since 1998.
He contributes the "Library
Corner" column for the Rainy
River Record.
Previously, he wrote monthly
columns called "The Bookmark" for both the Huron
County and Kingston Frontenac public libraries in Southern Ontario.
In 2004, he wrote an 85th anniversary history of the library
in Zurich, Ont., where he was
the supervisor.
The OLA’s website says the
Media and Communications
Award “was established to reward individuals and companies that present libraries and
librarians in a constructive
light, breaking down stereotypical images often associated
with the profession.”
"In telling the library's story,
our local media in the Rainy
River District are key partners,"
says Dawber.
"The Library Board and staff
are very grateful for their ongoing interest," he says.
Dawber is the Award's first
winner from Northern Ontario.
Previous winners include the
writers of the TV series Due
South and the Toronto Public
Library.
The Award will be presented
at the Association’s conference
in Toronto.

It takes hearty Canadians
to enjoy a Polar Plunge
Jason Kabel, Community Services Manager and Bob Green,
Maintenance Attendant put together the new Treadclimber
in the Aerobics Room at the Memorial Sports Centre.
“Toga Party” – These jumpers donned togas as they hit the icy cold water during the Polar
Plunge on Rainy Lake.
Twenty-five brave souls
faced the frigid waters of
Rainy Lake to kick off the
New Year in support of the
Voyageur Lions Club’s annual
Polar Plunge.
Over $6,500.00 was raised
and will assist various non-
profit groups including the
High School Travel Club, Border Figure Skating Club, Sunset Country Squash Club,
Rainycrest Auxiliary and
Dancemakers School of
Dance. A Relay for Life time
also raised funds for the Cancer Society.
The Voyageur Lions Club
benefitted from the fundraiser
and will utilize the funds to
support community programs
and services.

Jason Kabel, Community
Services Manager for the
Town of Fort Frances wants to
know, “What is your activity?”
and encourages men and
women, boys and girls to answer that question.
“Is it walking, running, playing squash”? questioned
Kabel.
Whatever it may be, a place
to do it and get out of the cold
is the Memorial Sports Centre.
With memberships available
for 1-month, 3-months, 6months or 1-year, there is
something for everyone to get
active.
Memberships include fitness
classes, an aerobic room complete with treadmills, stationary bikes and elliptical
equipment as well as a brand
new Tread-climber, a 25-metre
pool, squash courts and a track
to do laps in the 52 Canadians
arena. Memberships also include shinny hockey.
“The new year is definitely a
busy time for memberships”,
reported Kabel as to the steady
stream of people stopping by
to purchase a new membership
or renew an existing one.
“I just moved here”, said Jennifer Stoyka as she purchased
her three-month membership
and signed up for an Aquafit
class before Melissa Belluz,
Community Service Receptionist took her on a tour of the
facilities.
Meanwhile, Shannon Jackson, who is the Fitness Consultant/Instructor and Personal
Trainer, was busy at noon with
a couple of women who were
getting oriented to the equipment in the weight room.
Anyone who purchases an
annual membership is entitled
to either a fitness consultation
with Jackson or a weight/fitness room orientation.
“I help to develop a fitness
plan and discuss goals including nutrition”, explains Jackson
about
the
fitness
consultation.
“I also provide an overview
of how to use the equipment
and provide a basic fitness program”, she adds about the
weight/fitness room orientation.
For those who want or need a
little more motivation and encouragement, personal trainers, including Jackson, are
available to hire on a fee-forservice basis.
Jackson also teaches two of
the fitness classes that are
available for members of the
Sports Centre.
“I teach Fit Box and Rise and
Shine”, noted Jackson, the latter being an Intro to Strength
training that is done in the
weight room at six in the
morning.
“My class was full this morning. Everyone was gung ho
and ready to go”, smiled Jackson as to the motivation of
those starting the New Year.
Jackson is realistic though
about New Year’s resolutions
to get fit.
“It is the number one resolution but it is also the top failure
for resolutions”, admits Jackson.
“Those who want to change
their lifestyle need to be in the
right mindset. People can start
at any time and at any age”.
Why do people lose motivation?
“It’s usually time constraints
and the lack of results in the
time expected. It’s important to
be realistic about the time it
will take to get results and

Happy New Year! I am
thinking there are a few of us
wishing for some warmer
weather! I am trying to stay
positive - because yes, it could
always be worse but it could
be a whole lot better as well. I
have been battling with one
water bowl during this cold
snap - again - it’s only one and
I could be dealing with all of
them. It’s very hard to work
without your mitts on and you
have to be extra careful because everything breaks that
much easier in this cold. I
ended up feeding all the animals extra thinking that I
might not have to start the
tractor for a few days in this
cold. The tractor doesn’t
warm up a whole bunch - the
oil and fluids are darn stiff.
But yes, it could always be
worse!
I think the cold
weather is beginning to wear
on the animals though. Cows
shake their heads briskly as
they make the trek up to get
water - I have actually physically made my rabbits move as
I wondered if they were froze
in one spot! The sheep spend
more time sleeping - keeping
their skinny little legs covered
by their tremendous fur coats.
But I agree it will pass and I
am looking forward to the
warmer days ahead of us.
As many may have seen in
the recent Rainy River Re-
gional Abattoir Committee
Newsletter - we are asking for
donations - once again! Despite the recent rumour I heard
- “the abattoir only helps 2
farms in the district” - one
being myself; the abattoir is
here for much more than 2 of
us! Without the abattoir our 4
healthcare facilities wouldn’t
be able to serve (some) local
food in the facilities. We are
one of the few districts that
can boost this statement! We
wouldn’t be able to sell local
(safe, inspected) meat to our
friends, family and neighbours
- legally! The facility is open
and available to all producers
- no matter your size or for the
most part your commodity.
They handle beef, buffalo, elk,
rabbit, sheep, goats and this
year they added poultry to
their line-up! And I know so
many wonder why things are
so tight - we simply need more
animals using the facility.
When the abattoir was in
building stage - cattle prices
were low and people were
looking for alternative markets
- since then and once the facility opened prices have risen
and people are selling live cattle at decent prices - but we
quickly forget that it is only
natural for cattle markets (just
like most markets - grain,
gold, forestry etc) to drop and
the abattoir will be more valuable to the producers then.
The other thing is - there isn’t
money in butchering cattle and
we have some extremely high
bills to cover! We are all
scratching our heads to try and
come up with solutions and
again I am trying to stay positive thinking we will find a
way out of this because that’s
what kind of people we are!
There is something out there
called the $10 challenge! I
thought it was worth mentioning - If every household in Ontario spent just $10 of their
grocery budget on local foods
each week, there would be a
$2.4 billion dollar influx into
the provincial economy each
year! Wow, $10 could impact
our communities in a big way.
If you have any suggestions on
fund-raising activities we
should consider - please don’t
hesitate to get in touch with
any board member!
Just a quick reminder - the
Rainy River Cattlemen’s Association Annual Meeting is
scheduled for Thursday January 23, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at
Our Lady of the Way School.
Please mark it down - we are
looking forward to hearing
from our membership -we,
like all organizations need to
hear what we are doing right
or wrong!
Gena Elenore Oster
Peacefully on Saturday December 14, 2013 at the Rainy
Crest Long Term Care, Fort
Frances, Gena Oster of Stratton, Ont, passed away at the
age of 96.
Gena was born on September
15, 1917 in Emo, Ontario to
Lawrence
and

Bishop.
She was united in marriage to
John Oster on February 25,
1936. Together they resided in
Stratton, then relocating to
Petawawa and Windsor while
John was in the Canadian
Armed Forces. They also lived
in Detroit before returning to
Stratton in 1967 to operate the
Oster’s Economy Market.
Gena is survived by her
daughters Catherine (Kenneth)

Keep this God out of
the classroom
Faith-based schools often
seem like a better idea in theory
than they are in reality. And a
controversy at Trinity Western
University is proving it once
again.
This British Columbia-based
institution has received preliminary approval from the Federation of Law Societies of
Canada to create a law program, with the first 60 students
starting in 2016.
In theory, that seems all well
and good. With widespread
public cynicism about lawyers
and their values, the idea of
having a school that attempts to
marry Christian values with the
practice of law just feels right.
Images of noble advocates in
the mould of Atticus Finch
come to mind, brave defenders
of rights who put their values
ahead of their careers.
But, sadly, there is a catch.
Trinity Western is a faith-based
school with a conservative theology. In fact, some of its policies are described by critics as
anti-gay. The more than 1,000
law students across Canada
who signed a petition opposing
the new law school allege Trinity Western actively discriminates against gays.
Trinity is on the record as
warning it will expel students
who break the pledge of abstaining from sex "that violates
the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman." In
a footnote to this clause in the
student handbook, there are references to biblical passages that
condemn homosexuality.
Awkward. How, one wonders,
can a school that is not neutral
about the sexual activities of
consenting adults turn out
lawyers who would be willing
and able to defend people who
happen to be homosexual? It
seems to fly in the face of one
of the basic tenets of our legal
system - the right to fair representation, backed up by the
constitutional promise not to be
discriminated against.
It's doubly ironic that this little drama is unfolding even as
Prime Minister Stephen Harper
has expressed disapproval of
Russia's anti-gay activities, and
U.S. President Barack Obama
announced plans not to go to
the 2014 Games in Sochi, and
send several high-profile gay
advocates in his stead.
If it's not OK for Russia to
discriminate, how does one get
around the case of a proposed
law school in Canada?
For the record, Trinity has issued a statement saying that
gays are welcome at its school.
It's a nice gesture, but under the
provisions of the student handbook the inference is that they
would have to be celibate gays.
That hardly seems like fair and
equal treatment.
Trinity's troubles reflect a
broader challenge - finding a
way to accommodate any educational institution which espouses beliefs that are contrary
to modern scientific knowledge. Science tells us that the
sexual preferences of most
gays are hardwired. They're not
sinners, and they are undeserving of biblical condemnation.
It's not unlike the ongoing de-
bate that occurs at the elementary school level, where certain
faith-based schools teach creationism as a credible alternative to the theory of evolution.
The best science that we've
been able to muster argues
quite convincingly that a literal
interpretation of the story of
Adam and Eve is not possible.
So, these schools in effect insist
on teaching something we believe to be untrue.
That dilemma has been years
in the making, and won't go
away anytime soon. A law
school where gays are not quite
equal to other students, on the
other hand, can be dealt with
now.
Well-known civil rights
lawyer Clayton Ruby says
Trinity should be denied its request to establish a law school.
He's right. Schools are entitled
to have a faith-based value system, but when those beliefs
hinder the suitability of graduates to practise law, then it's
time to step in and nip this
trend in the bud.
This issue should not be reduced to a debate about whose
God you believe in. In a society
where a broad range of culture,
beliefs and sexual preferences
are not only welcome but also
enshrined in law, one school's
particular interpretation of the
Bible has no place in either a
law student's classroom or ultimately the courtroom where
such a grad might one day
practise his profession.

The Bookworm Sez by Terri Schlichenmeyer
“Warmed by Windchill: A Tiny Colt’s Fight for Life”
by Jeffrey L. Tucker, foreword by Carolyn L. Stuff, PhD
You think you might just
melt.
Baby animals have a way of
doing that. You see them, then
your eyes go all dewy,
“awwwwww” escapes your
lips, and you’re a puddle.
Happens every time. You
can’t help it – but as you’ll see
in the new book “Warmed by
Windchill” by Jeffrey L.
Tucker, that melting feeling
may be able to help them.
While Wisconsinites can usually count on cold weather during the winter, February 2008
brought “brutal cold.” So when
Jeffrey Tucker’s partner, Kathi,
rushed into their house and said
there was an emergency,
Tucker knew it was serious.
A former neighbor had asked
Kathi to check on the welfare
of a colt that was boarding
down the road from Tucker’s
farm. The boarders said the colt
was outside, which didn’t make
sense: the temperature was ten
below zero and the wind was
howling – it was much too cold
for that animal to be outside.
They heard the nine-monthold colt before they saw him.
He was screaming, obviously
terrified, and waving his head
around. He was emaciated;
hungry and thirsty; and frozen
solid, encased in ice. They put
him on a children’s sled,
dragged him to their horse
trailer, took him home, and
named him Windchill.
Not sure if the colt would survive his first 24-hours, Tucker
and Kathi nursed him through
the night and warmed him.
They fed him and tried to thaw
his legs, hoping he would
someday regain mobility. The
little guy definitely wanted to
live.
Fearing what state law would
say about the colt’s condition,
Tucker put a little PR to work
by calling the local news
media, which did a story on
Windchill. That put pressure on
the sheriff’s office, which had
initially recommended that the
colt be “put down.” The PR
also served to mobilize volunteers. As Windchill’s story went
viral, well-wishers from around
the world sent emails, messages, money, and supplies.
But the outpouring of love
wasn’t without bumps, and neither was Windchill’s recovery.
As the little colt gained weight
and muscle strength, however,
his prognosis seemed better
and Tucker was optimistic.
He’d never known an animal
with more heart.
If only that heart had been
stronger...
“Warmed by Windchill” is a
very small book. At just over
100 pages, it’s almost a pamphlet, really, but for horse
lovers, it’s gonna pack a kick.
As you begin reading Windchill’s story, it’s hard not to feel
a sense of urgency and concern,
and more than just a little
anger. That’s a testament to the
skills of author Jeffrey L.
Tucker, and I would’ve liked to
see that kind of narrative continue. Alas, Tucker ultimately
relies quite a bit on melodrama,
emails, and messages from
Windchill fans to fluff up
what’s already, regretfully, a
slim story. That doesn’t make
this a bad book; it’s just not as
good as it could’ve been.
Still, there’s definitely something in here for horse lovers and if that’s you, then saddle up
and find “Warmed by Windchill.” Missing it could leave
you cold.

John McCutcheon's poignant

In Memory
In loving memory of
Ingeborg Szeder
who passed away
January 14, 2012
God saw you getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you
and whispered, “come to Me”.
With tearful eyes we watched
you,
and saw you pass away,
and although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
to us,
He only takes the best.
Love you always and forever,
Frank, Monika & Dan (Robert,
Jocelyn & baby Olive, Joey &
Hailey).
Frank Jr. & Yoyen (Samantha &
Frankie), Stefan & Diane.
John & Lindsay (Carson, Brady,
Parker, Ashlyn & Preston).
It's a true story. Taking place
on the Western Front in 1914,
the truce saw British and German soldiers shake hands, exchange gifts, and even play
football. The man who invented Sherlock Holmes, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, later described it as an "amazing spectacle."
The interesting question,
though, is just what to make of
it. After all, when Christmas
was over, the two armies went
back to killing each other with
increasing ferocity.
Listening to Tolliver's fictional voice, it's very easy to
conjure up the image of unwilling cannon fodder being heartlessly sacrificed for the vanity
and self-interest of distant political masters. Too easy, in
fact. When we do that, we fall
into the common trap of projecting our own attitudes and
sensibilities back onto people
from another time. In true modern fashion, it becomes all
about us.
At least on the British side,
every last man in the trenches
that Christmas was a volunteer.
For instance, in the week ending September 5, 1914, almost
175,000 men joined up. Indeed,
such was the early rush to enlist
that the British War Office
briefly raised the minimum
height requirement in order to
slow things down a bit. Conscription wasn't introduced
until 1916.
So what motivated men to
fight, and keep fighting, even in
the most difficult of circum-
stances?
Like most situations involving real people, multiple motivations were undoubtedly at
work. A sense of patriotism, the
lure of comradeship, appetite
for adventure, peer pressure,
and a desire for revenge all
came into play.
And although it's not something we like to dwell on,
there's also the dark side of
human nature. As the historian
Niall Ferguson bluntly put it in
The Pity of War, "many men
simply took pleasure in
killing."
But there's a 1914 question
that's even more interesting
than why men fought. What
would have happened if Britain
had decided against joining the
war?
In asking this, it's appropriate
to note that Britain's involvement wasn't a given. Notwithstanding the 1904 Entente
Cordiale with France and the
1839 treaty with Belgium, as
late as July 31 - a mere four
days before Britain went to war
- only two members of the cabinet were explicitly in favour of
intervention.
Had Britain stayed out, the
first-half of the 20th century
would have taken a radically
different turn. While all "what
if" scenarios necessarily involve substantial speculation,
some conclusions verge on the
obvious.
Germany would have won the
war, thereby establishing its
hegemony over continental Europe. Bearing its war aims in

Ste
mind, the likely economic manifestation of this hegemony
would have been a European
Customs Union involving Germany, France, Holland, Belgium,
Denmark,
Austria-Hungary, Poland, and
perhaps others. With Berlin as
the dominant power centre, this
starts to look somewhat like the
European Union of today.
In addition, Germany's two
main allies - the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires would have survived, at least
for a while. And this survival
would have had implications
extending beyond the prerogatives of their respective governing elites in Vienna and
Constantinople.
For instance, prior to the Ottoman collapse in 1918, the fol-
lowing modern countries didn't
exist as defined, independent
entities: Turkey, Iraq, Saudi
Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel. Instead, they
were Ottoman possessions.
Granted, the Ottoman situation was rickety, and the general rise of ethnic/tribal
nationalism would have threatened its diverse dominions in
due course. But absent the defeat and collapse of 1918, the
future of the Middle East
would have unfolded differently.
As for Britain, its prospects
would also have been different,
and perhaps more propitious. A
European continent dominated
by Germany wouldn't necessarily have been a significant
problem. In terms of financial
investments and economic interests, Europe was relatively
unimportant to 1914 Britain.
And if a German victory in
the First World War had precluded the rise of Nazism and
the Second World War,
Britain's world position would
have been immeasurably enhanced. Rather than being exhausted
and
financially
tapped-out, the Britain of 1945
would have remained a major
international player.
Decisions do indeed have
consequences.

Hailey Clendenning #14
Hailey Clendenning is a veteran Muskie player who is in
her 4th year with the High
School Hockey team. She
wears #14 and plays right
wing. Prior to making the
Muskies, Hailey played competitive girls hockey, boys
hockey and also took part in
AAA summer hockey. She
calls herself a “team sniper”
and “part-time goon”.
“I have many memories
through the hockey years – fun
ones and scary ones. Our ultimate win was winning the
championship last year against
Kenora”, reports Clendenning.
“I cherish the friendships made
and love the game”, says the
competitive team player,
adding that she also loves the
atmosphere in the rink during
an important game.
The Muskies are continuing
to play at a high level, picking
up a third place finish at the
Schwan Cup Tournament in
Minneapolis to kick off the
New Year and also winning the
Alumni game during the Holidays.
This week, the Muskie Girls
played an Exhibition game
against Baudette and have a
home game today against St.
Thomas Aquinas at 1:15 p.m.
at the Ice for Kids arena. After
a 2-week break for exams, the
Muskie’s will resume play on
January 28th with an exhibition game against the International Falls Broncos.

Spend less time doing what
you love. Sorry about that.
Most people don’t understand. They look at a pile
of wood and see a pile of work. You see the result
of an honest day’s work. The Classic saves you
time and means less work because it burns larger
pieces of wood. There’s less splitting which
significantly reduces the time you spend
preparing the wood. We do apologize for that.

Taxpayers are generous
to First Nations
By Mark Milke
Senior Fellow
The Fraser Institute
Canada's taxpayers have been
increasingly generous to Aboriginal Canadians over the
decades, but that reality is not
often the narrative one hears
from selected First Nations
leaders. Instead, the oft-stated
opinion is that taxpayers should
ante up ever more.
For instance, former Assembly of First Nations chief Phil
Fontaine once wrote that any
"argument that enough money
is already being spent must be
regarded as thoroughly uninformed, or worse, shockingly
mean-spirited." Last year, at the
Assembly of First Nations' special chiefs meeting, out of 47
approved policy resolutions, 22
resolutions asserted inadequate
funding, called for additional
funding and/or called for exemptions from payments and
taxes normally due.
The demand for more spending on Aboriginal matters is
predictable as was Fontaine's
career-long rhetorical assumption that analysis is inherently
hostile. However, to move beyond mere opinion and conflicting ones at that, one must
start with facts and analysis if
one is to improve people's
lives.
Thus, let's start with some
hard numbers and look at the
trend-line. In the federal department of Aboriginal Affairs
and Northern Development
Canada, with data gleaned from
federal archives, department
spending per registered First
Nations person jumped to
$9,056 per person by 2012
from $922 in 1950 (and the figures are already adjusted for inflation so this is an
apple-to-apple comparison).
That is an 882 per cent increase.
In comparison, federal program spending on all Canadi-
ans (including native Canadians) rose to $7,316 per person
in 2012 from $1,504 per capita
back in 1950. That is a 387 per
cent increase.
Provincially, data was more
difficult to find but from the
mid-1990s forward, here is
what the numbers show: in
2012, the 10 provinces combined spent $812 per First Nations person, up 985 per cent
from $75 per First Nations person in 1994.
In contrast, provincial government program spending on
all citizens rose much more
modestly, to $9,205 per person
in 2012 from $7,340 in 1994,
or a 25 per cent increase.
Again, all numbers are adjusted
for inflation (and population
growth is accounted for because these are per person
measurements).
Canadians should be clear on
what the above numbers mean.
Some spending - education
expenditures on First Nations
children for example - would
occur even if the federal government was not involved. In a
different legal arrangement,
First Nations kids would be in
provincial schools and expenses would be incurred
through provincial treasuries
anyway.
So funding education through
the federal department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern
Development Canada should
not be mistakenly looked at as
"extra" spending on Aboriginal
matters.
Overall, here is what the numbers reveal: The trend-line over
the decades, whether in Aboriginal (formerly Indian) Affairs
or by provincial governments is
clear: spending on Aboriginal
matters, and after inflation and
population growth is accounted
for, is up - way up - and beyond
growth in government program
spending on all Canadians.
In addition, examples exist of
how taxpayers, via governments, are generous to Aboriginal Canadians.
Here's one and it is a an example of spending not required
by treaties or by the constitution: In 2012, Health Canada
spent $1.1 billion on supplementary benefits such as dental
care, vision care and pharmaceutical drugs for eligible First
Nations and Inuit Canadians.
Most other Canadians must
spend out of pocket or buy insurance for such items.
Back to the big picture: The
question of whether taxpayers
spend "enough" or "not
enough" or "too much" money
on Aboriginal matters cannot
be answered with a general response.
Specific answers depend on
the person, program, and First
Nations reserve analyzed.
Other factors, such as whether
tax dollars in specific instances
help reduce dependency or exacerbate it, also matter to a
complete answer.
But here is what is clear from
the data: Whether measured in
per capita amounts, or in total
(as an example, adjusted for inflation, Aboriginal Affairs
spending on Aboriginal matters
rose to $7.9 billion in 2012
from $79 million in 1947), or
relative to total government
program spending, or relative
to health benefits provided exclusively to First Nations and
Inuit people, taxpayers have
been increasingly generous to
Canada's Aboriginal peoples.
Any debate over the "proper"
amount of spending on Aboriginal matters in Canada should
start right there: with the facts.

Government spending on
Canada's Aboriginals since
1947.
Up to 50 per cent of
Canadians with dementia
wait too long for diagnosis
As many as 50 per cent of
Canadians with dementia are
not diagnosed early enough
losing precious time when
care and support can make a
tremendous difference in their
quality of life and avert unnecessary crises for their families.
That's why during Alzheimer
Awareness
Month,
the
Alzheimer Society is launching a new campaign. Early diagnosis keeps your life from
unravelling, to promote the
benefits of early diagnosis.
But fear and stigma continue
Rainy River District
School Board
SEEKS ONE VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY MEMBER
TO SERVE ON ITS AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Rainy River District School Board is seeking a
community member with financial expertise and
business knowledge to serve on its audit committee for
up to a three-year term effective January 1, 2014.
The Audit Committee is comprised of two Trustees and
two independent members drawn from the community
at large. The primary role of the Audit Committee is to
assist the board of trustees in fulfilling its duties related
to governance and oversight. The duties of the Audit
Committee fall under the following key areas: the
financial reporting process, internal control framework,
risk management practices, performance and function
of the board’s internal and external auditors and the
board’s compliance with its obligations under
legislation. The Committee meets at least 3 times a
year plus ad hoc meetings as required.
Candidate Eligibility:
• Applicants must have sufficient accounting, senior
financial management or other relevant business
experience to understand public sector accounting
and auditing standards.
• The applicant must not be a current employee or
officer of the board or of any other district school
board or school authority.
• The applicant must not have a parent, child or spouse
currently employed by the Board.
Submission of Applications
Suitably qualified candidates interested in serving on
the Audit Committee are invited to submit a letter of
interest and resume by 3 p.m. on January 24, 2014 to:
Heather Campbell
Director of Education
Rainy River District School Board
522 Second Street East
Fort Frances, ON
P9A 1N4
Fax: 807-274-5078
Candidates who are short-listed may be requested to
attend a private interview conducted by the Audit
Committee’s Selection Committee. For information

to be huge barriers to seeking
help. In a recent Nanos survey,
60 per cent of Canadians
polled said it would be harder
to disclose if they, or someone
close to them, had Alzheimer's
disease compared to other diseases because of the social
stigma associated with mental
health issues.
Earlier diagnosis opens the
door to important information,
resources and support through
local Alzheimer Societies
which help people with dementia focus on their abilities
to remain independent in their
homes and communities
longer. With early diagnosis,
people can access medications
that, although not effective for
everyone, have the greatest
impact when taken early. On a
practical level, an early diagnosis gives someone the
chance to explain the changes
happening in their life to family and friends and allows families to plan ahead.
"Seventy-four per cent of
Canadians know someone
with dementia and more and
more Canadians will continue
to develop the disease. We
want to make sure they're getting the help they need at
every stage of the disease,"
says Mimi Lowi-Young, CEO,
Alzheimer Society of Canada.
"As devastating as the news
can be, early diagnosis brings
relief to families, gives them
control over their situation and
adds more years of living active and fulfilling lives."
Throughout January Canadians are encouraged to visit the
Alzheimer Society's campaign
website, www.earlydiagnosis.ca, to learn how to spot the
signs of dementia, understand
the benefits of a diagnosis and
prepare for a doctor's visit.
This year's awareness campaign is proudly supported by
the KPMG Foundation.

Letters to the editor
Dear Editor :
A group of Concerned Citizen
have a petition circulating in
Rainy River in support of physiotherapy Services at the Rainy
River Hospital.
The Riverside Healthcare Facilities consists of the Fort
Frances Hospital, Emo Hospital, Rainy River Hospital and
Rainycrest Long-term Care. All
of the these facilities except
Rainy River have physio services.
Emo Hospital physiotherapy
has recently increased their
services from 2 days a week to
5 days a week.
People needing physio in the
West End of the Rainy River
District ( Morson, Bergland,
Rainy River, Pinewood, Stratton and areas) travel one to two
hours to arrive at either the
Emo or Fort Frances facility for
this service.
Most physio is twice a week
and is at their own expense.
One wonders if all the good
that the physio does is undone
by the time they reach home at
the end of the day.
If the Corporation can only
provide a certain number of
days of physio to these facilties
because of therapist availability
and financial budget then why
not service the facilities the furthest away from the core.
This Concerned Citizens
Group is looking for your support. Please sign the petition
either at the Rainy River Drug
Store or at the Rainy River
Clinic.
There is a meeting at the
Rainy River Hospital at 1:00
p.m on Monday, January 6th,
2014 - everyone is welcome.
Our group will be doing this
presentation to the Riverside
Healthcare Board on Thursday,
January 23rd, 2014 at 6:30 p.m
– again we urge you to come to
this meeting as well – if you are
interested please contact either
Melanie Murray 852-3308 or
Nicole Therrien as rides will be
arranged.
If you are unable to make either of these meetings but have
some input please contact either of us.
Thank you
Melanie Murray/Nicole Therrien for the Concerned Citizens
for Healthcare of the West End
of the Rainy River District
Dear Editor:
In the article, "Turn down the
heat and put on a Sweater" in
your Dec. 4th paper, it is stated
that the government's longterm energy plan projects that
the average monthly residential
bill will rise to $178 in five
years. I haven't seen a bill that
small in probably 30 years,
even while heating with wood
or oil.
Our cooking range is gas; we
are using low energy light
bulbs; we have replaced our
fridge with a high efficiency
one, and it hasn't made a difference. The more we lower our
use, the more Hydro One increases the cost, and our
monthly bill is still over $500.
A man from hydro once told
me that our house is too far
from the transformer. Sometimes we only have 100 volts or
less coming into the house, in-
stead of the 120 we are supposed to have. Another man
from hydro said that if we
needed another transformer we
would have to pay for it ourselves.
The Micro-fit solar energy
plan is benefiting the few who
had the property and the capital
to invest at the right time. The
rest of us are getting the shaft.
Hydro One is paying up to
$.80/kWh
and
charging
$.14/kWh? Do the math! Of
course the prices are going up!
Several years ago, Howard
Hampton held public meetings
here. He was going to help the
people get the hydro costs
down in this area, but that obviously didn't happen. I wonder if the Premier is turning
down her heat and putting on a
sweater. Probably not!
Most sincerely,
Lloyd O. Moen
