(owned by Dougall Media) has made application to the CRTC to move the CFNO offices from Marathon to their headquarters in Thunder Bay. The Mayor and Council of the Town of Marathon sees this as an initiative that will have significant negative impact on the communities and residents within the entire CFNO listening area. For 30 years, CFNO has been broadcasting to our communities. CFNO is a unique asset to our region and in many ways, is our lifeline to each other and the outside world. Following is a sample of the services CFNO and Al Cresswell provide for our communities and listeners on an annual basis: GERALDTON - broadcast morning show - MC Geraldton Jamboree - MC Grow Greenstone Expo - orgainize TD toybank Xmas Drive - cover Annual Walleye Derby - MC Michelle Wright - live on location Home Hardware Grand Opening - live on location Bargain Shop Grand Opening LONGLAC - broadcast morning showMC summerfest - MC Winter Carnival Opening Ceremonies - cut ribbon opening of 4 Winds Motel - cover various forestry meetings NAKINA - broadcast morning show - cover numerous Ring of Fire meetings - cover Nakina Bass Derby AROLAND FIRST NATIONS - broadcast morning show - guest speaker Gr. 8 Graduation CARAMAT - broadcast morning show - MC Moose Hunters Ball - covered Caramat Fish Derby, MC'd awards OTHER - CFNO covers all 10 Municipal Town Council meetings in the region which are held every two weeks - MC North Shore Singers every spring - CFNO provides up to the minute information regarding local highways and school closures. Also school bus cancellations. - They have a feature every Tuesday morning at 8:10 called “Commanders’ Corner”. Local OPP Staff Sargeant comes into studio and we discuss a relevant topic of the day. Eg. ATV safety, Ice conditions, snow mobile safety, There have been numerous postings on social media sites like facebook and twitter, where people have turned to voice their opinion in addition to the standard talk around the coffee shops in town. Let’s not forget that very recently the Municipality of Greenstone assistted Dougal Media in applying and paying for a broadcast tower in Beardmore. If you feel strongly about the move of CFNO from Marathon to Thunder Bay you can contact the CRTC to have your voice heard. www.crtc.gc.ca/eng facebook: www.facebook.com/group s/368199073286711/ NOTICE: Due to increasing production costs, Times Star will increase its publication price to $1.50 (HST included) effective May 29th, 2013 Further details are on page 7 of this issue.

Members, guests and sponsors enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner followed by the annual awards presentations and a dance. President Karen Saarimaki took the opportunity to thank all of the executive, staff, volunteers (members and nonmembers) as well as sponsors who helped make the evening as well as the season, another great success. The Curling Club is very fortunate to have the support of both local and out-of-town businesses, as well as the community, in keeping the club viable when so many others in Northern Ontario are struggling to stay open. A special presentation was made by VicePresident Dan Flynn on behalf of the club to Carol and Norm Kristjanson for all of the great service they have given the club in looking after the bar over the years.

Wednesday, may 15, 2013 • editorial IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU... By Arthur Black I'd like to write a few lines about a tiny word that is the very glue of the English language, okay? Now, it's entirely okay if you're not personally okay with that, but I got the okay from my editor Usually she shrugs when I suggest a theme and offers a grudging 'okay'. But this time she really liked it. “O-KAY!” She said. “Go for it!” Versatile little four-letter combination when you think about it – especially when you realize it can be cut in half and still say the same thing. My dictionary recognizes 'O.K.' and even 'OK' as legitimate variations. They all sound exactly the same to the human ear. 'Okay' is probably the most well-known English world in the world. Venetian gondoliers get 'okay'; so do Tibetan Sherpas, Australian outbackers, Colombian drug mules and Chinese money-lenders. So where does 'okay' come from? How much time have you got? Over the years linguists have proposed that the expression was swiped from the Scots ('och aye'), West African slaves ('wah kay'), the French ('au quais'), the Choctaw tribe ('o keh'), the Finns ('oikea') – even from a U.S. railway freight agent named Obadiah Kelly who used to scrawl his initials as a signature on bills of lading. The only thing pretty much everyone agreed on is that usage as an English expression bubbled up in eastern North America sometime in the early 19th century. By 1840, rumours attributed the phrase to U.S. President Andrew Jackson. Detractors said that President Jackson scrawled O.K. On government documents under the illusion he was using a short form for 'all correct'. (Orl Korect?) Cute story, buy highly unlikely. Andrew Jackson was a well-educated man. Whatever the origins, 'okay' was perfectly okay to use through North America by the 1850's – so much so that it appears in the written works of Henry David Thoreau in 1854. Now, a century and a half later, the word has been bisected again. People often signify acceptance with a single syllable instead of two. “You wanna grab a bite at the Taco Bell?” “Kay.” Fortunately, thanks to the work of a a U.S. professor named Allen Walker Read, we now know the true origins of this ubiquitous phrase. Professor Read figured it out by poring over back issues of eastern American newspapers published in the early-to-mid 1800's. Turns out there was a kind of fad that swept the chattering classes of early 19th century Boston society, in which people wishing to appear clever used abbreviations to replace well-known phrases. Thus, people would say (or write) ISBD, instead of It Shall Be Done. Boston's leading citizens were referred to as OFM's – Our First Men. And anything insignificant was dismissed with SP – Small Potatoes. Another craze those early language manglers indulged in was faux-illiteracy. They liked to pretend they couldn't spell very well. Thus the Boston aristocracy (Andrew Jackson had nothing to do with it) – brutalized the phrase 'all correct' into 'orl korrect' – which got shortened to O.K. And the rest is History, okay?

COMMENTARY BY BOB ROTZ Quite A Week.... ....it was. Started out with a news item that arrived at "F/N"HQ just a tad too l a t e . . . . d a m n e d deadlines....to make last week's column, and yours truly couldn't be more thrilled. Lindsay Lohan, arguably America's #1 tabloid/E-Talk queen, has checked into Betty Ford's for 90 days. It didn't say if she was going to receive treatment or is just staying there, but that doesn't really matter, does it? The gal they like to call 'Li-Lo' has stayed at Betty's once before, and the results didn't exactly get her a passing grade, but better than the other re-hab place she was in just a couple weeks back as that stay lasted only a matter of minutes. (Minutes?) But it says she's rehired her former longtyme attorney, so let's see what happens next. *This is probably a good/fitting tyme for this week's "F/N" Word Of The Day (*WOTD)....''Itty-Bitty''....which has the same meaning as Teensy-Weensy. Which pretty well describes the size of Ms. Lohan's brain, OR her respect for the law and/or her current parole officer, of which there have been many. How she is not doing a '5 to 10 year stretch' in some penitentiary is beyond me? The CFNO 'Bombshell'.... ....that was dropped on loyal listeners last week has spread it's schrapnel over it's entire, vast listening area....and beyond. Maybe Queens Park and The House Of Commons? Firstly, let's get one thing straight, what follows here is not in any way a dump on CBC Radio, or its' Thunder Bay affiliate. "From Nakina" and several thousand others are wondering why CFNO owners Dougall Media (rather 'quietly') filed papers with the CRTC back in early April to move the station from Marathon....which has been 'home' for 30 years....to Thunder Bay? Chronicle/Journal North Shore guy Carl Clutchey broke the story early last week, and the public outcry against such a move has spread like a bush fire. Interestingly, the Dougall higher-ups are....after 30 years....seeing CFNO's' area as just that.....bush. With 'little 4 commonality' among many of the communities. Well, Mr. Dougall, these two dozen plus North Shore/Greenstone/First Nation communities.....which range in population from something like 48 in Caramat to 4800 in Marathon.....have a hell of a lot more 'in common' than you are aware of. Maybe you're not tuning in CFNO often enough? And our 'Hometown Sound', or 'sense of community' if you will, though all staff relay that type of feeling, is due in a large part to Al Cresswell, the New/Sports Director and Morning Man at your station. Someone called him an 'ambassador' for the area last week in a conversation I had with another listener. Then, in a couple other back-andforths yours truly called CFNO a 'radio station of necessity'. And that pertains to the people living here, not the trees. The reasons I've heard for moving CFNO to T. Bay....if indeed they DO come directly from Dougall Media?....are 'flimsy' at best, though one person believed CFNO is not currently a money-losing operation, yet it was indicated it would be a 'financial decision'. Well, if it's not making enough money, why would the owners not try to sell it? I mean, it HAS been 30 years. So, what can we do? you ask. At this point, not much......the CRTC deadline for 'submissions' (if a person disagrees with the proposal) was Monday May 13th, and though it was filed on or about April 9th, it wasn't made public until Clutchey's article a week back. Nice. We tried last week, but there were 'problems' with the CRTC site, but Dougall Media indicates (loosely quoted) they gladly will respond to inquiries, so give that a shot if you wish. Firstly, take a minute or two and think of all the day to day stuff we rely on CFNO to tell us about......road closings/re-openings, weather, storm warnings, schools, buses, community events, council meetings and reports, news, sports, on site broadcasts, advertising, etc., etc., etc. Holy s---, I almost forgot area Bingo's! Maybe you wanna drop Dougall a note, or give them a call? Perhaps sanity will prevail and they'll withdraw the application. If not, there could be other 'irons in the fire' to retain this 'radio station of necessity'. And, our ambassador. Ring Of Fire I was asked one day last week....for the 273rd tyme....''what's up with the Ring Of Fire"? The asker, who is not from around these parts, wasn't trying to be funny or rude, merely wondering if there was/is anything new on the horizon. One source had already predicted it would be ''six or seven years' before any raw material rolls down the road past Aroland''. That may be true, though "From Nakina" sticks to our guns that if indeed it ever DOES roll past Aroland....it will be on rail, not road. Of course, Chief Sonny and others are still hoping for a smelter at Exton.....so we'll see on that. Anyway, back to the question about "what's up''? I see it like this....if the Ring Of Fire was the NHL, the RoF is just barely ready to start the playoffs....the very first round, then there'll be a round-robin, quarter finals, semi-finals, and if anybody's still standing, the finals for the Chromite Cup. However, the playoff schedule is being drawn up by Cliffs....so expect further delays.

Bay last week that Bob Rae is the Chief Negotiator on their behalf in talks with the province and Cliffs on RoF matters. The worst-kept secret we've heard of in a long tyme was made 'official' and Rae will meet with Ovide Mercredi (who represents Greenstone) and Phil Fontaine from Cliffs in all future talks. The Matawa meetings at the Victorian Inn in T. Bay were followed up with a Sharing Conference last Friday involving the Matawa Chiefs and a delegation from Greenstone. I would expect that before too long there just may be a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) signing by Greenstone and Matawa, since one is already in effect between G'stone and Aroland. (*didn't get a free-bee invite (from F/N or G'stone) to T. Bay last week and I wondered if it was maybe because I'd recently referred to Bob Rae as 'Chief Paleface'. Heck, lighten up people! I got that from an old Bob Hope movie I saw 60 years ago! Anyway, maybe we'll get to the next one?? Wednesday, May 15, 2013 "F/N"s Take On Senators Thumbs up to the NHL ones from Ottawa. They've gone from the outhouse to the penthouse this year, and dumped Les Canadiens from Montreal last week in FIVE games! You just KNOW Habs fans are really pissed when a number of them tossed their $129.95 (NHL*TM) sweaters onto the Montreal Bell Centre ice when it was mercifully over with. The Ottawa guy should get Coach Of The Year, and the Montreal guy should get checking La Gazette for a new job. As to the 'other' senators.......you know, the ones from the Red Chamber....... who continue merrily along robbing the Canadian taxpayer, a number of the Conservative bunch following Mike Duffy's footsteps in re-paying any and all the moneys he/they get caught doing us out of. Methinks Fathead is up near the $100,00 mark to date, and he keeps on saying ''it was a mistake'' and apologizing. What a guy! And Harper blames 'fuzzy rules'?! (*no....I did not make that up, 'fuzzy rules' is what the P/M said) *Thought Of The Day... And The Beat Goes On................(Sonny and Cher....1967) "From Nakina"...until next tyme. LIFESTYLE Crane Collapses From the Study Jim Patterson, St. Andrew's Church “WHAT SHALL WE SING?” To the leader. Of the Korahites. A Psalm. Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world, both low and high, rich and poor together. My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. I will incline my ear to a proverb; will solve my riddle to the music of the harp. Psalm 49:1-4 A crane has collapsed Monday morning at the still-underconstruction consolidated courthouse on Thunder Bay’s south side. Fire Chief John Hay said no one was hurt in the incident, in which the now-twisted crane appears to have tipped over, its boom landing on the lower section of the Miles Street building, set to open in 2014. Police have closed off a portion of Brodie Street to Victoriaville Mall, citing public safety. The incident occurred at about 9 a.m. “Right now we are just clearing the courthouse, clearing the area and we’re going to get together with a team of engineers and people from the courthouse and they’ll develop a plan on how they’re going to get the crane off,” Hay said. “There was nobody hurt, there was nobody injured and certainly nobody killed in the building. So we’re quite comfortable in that.” Hay said its fortunate no one was injured. “Building practices and construction practices the way they are, we’ve never had an incident here that’s been anything but minor. There was nobody underneath the crane. There was nobody under the piece that was being moved and I think it’s fortunate that nobody was hurt.” Hay stressed every precaution will be taken before any work begins. The investigation is in the hands of the Ontario Ministry of Labour, whose inspectors would not comment on scene. “We’ve had a new building that’s taken a pretty big body check, so we’re going to make sure that the building is good before we allow people to get too close to it, except the people who are actually going to work on it. So we’re minimizing the number of people who are going to be around the building,” Hay said. “We’re going to have engineers check the building before, during and after the crane comes off.” Hay said Brodie Street may be closed for hours, if not a full day while officials ensure the scene is safe and the crane is removed. “There is probably a little impact on the businesses on the street. Unfortunately that’s going to continue for the next little while. The Ministry of Labour and Byrd Construction will be developing a plan to get the crane off the roof,” Hay said. It would be a guess to say what caused the collapse, Hay added. “The Ministry of Labour, because they’re doing their investigation, I wouldn’t want to comment anyway. I can probably tell you they won’t be commenting for a while, being a provincial agency right now.” tbnewswatch.com Roy Davies CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT ROY DAVIES PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION 1024 Main Street P.O. Box 1123 Geraldton, Ont. (807) 854-1460 OFFICE HOURS: Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday 9AM – 12PM, 1PM – 4PM Friday - Monday Closed Music is a very interesting natural gift. Birds sing. Some dogs sing. The northern lights sing. The wind makes music as it passes through trees, the eaves of a house, the mouth of a canyon. And people make music by singing, whistling, humming, playing various instruments, and even silently to themselves in their own minds. Music is much more than amusement or entertainment. The bird songs and the dog howl are distinctive forms of language that serve tp warn competitors, express grief, or court a mate. For humans, music is even more useful. For example, we sing to lull a child to sleep. We sing to express loyalty to our sovereign and to our country. We sing to court our beloved. We “sing for our supper”. And, of course, we sing to express our faith, our longing, our questions to our Creator. Singing is so important to our faith that one image of the eternal afterlife is of ethereal creatures singing. Day and night without ceasing they sing, ‘Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come.’ Revelation 4:8 Another image, from the same book, is of an immense choir possibly of many people, but surely of angels and winged creatures: ...singing, ‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen. Revelation 7:12 I like to note, with amusement, that there is a choir surrounding God's throne, not a hockey team. To help us be faithful with our singing, scripture offers us the collection of songs and poetry put together in the 6th century BC by God's people. The purpose of the collection was to aid and abet worship and prayer in the temple and in everyday life. We know this collection as “The Psalms”. There are all kinds of Psalms. There are Psalms of longing (42), Psalms of blessing (41), Psalms of pleading (40), Psalms of argument (39 and 38), Psalms of comfort (23, 121, 131), Psalms of justice (72, 49, 146) and so forth. There is just about every kind of Psalm one could ever need in order to sing, meditate, pray, complain or rejoice. The burning question therefore might be, “What shall we sing?” Which Psalm would be appropriate for today, for the present context? If we get it right, the words and music will transport us and our thoughts into the very presence of God. If we get it wrong, well, that would be very embarrassing. It would be like playing a funeral march at a wedding, or using Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (with cannons) for a lullaby. http://youtu.be/n82l3rEQSWk There are 2 Psalms that I am finding very interesting in the current global context. They are not nearly as well known as Psalm 23 or Psalm 121. Both of them deal with the feelings of a poor, sick person who is receiving $620 per month welfare, or an hourly worker in a bottom end job who is working hard, maybe at 2 or 3 part time jobs, for $10.25 per hour. People in this condition watch the news. They hear about Senators, MP's, MPP's, CEO's (like those at Nortel), and they know how much such people receive for their high quality and high responsibility positions. See what you think about these Psalms for today. Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him; do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices. Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret—it leads only to evil. For the wicked shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. Psalm 37:7-9 Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me, those who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches? Truly, no ransom avails for one’s life, there is no price one can give to God for it. For the ransom of life is costly, and can never suffice, that one should live on for ever and never see the grave. Psalm 49:5-9 REGIONAL CHURCH CALENDAR GERALDTON FAITH CHAPEL 1319 Main Street, P.O.

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 5 Local news Bob Rae the voice of Matawa Bob Rae will be the voice of Matawa First Nations when consulting with the province on future developments in the Ring of Fire area. It was announced Friday afternoon that the former federal Liberal Party Leader, who was also once Ontario’s NDP premier, will be the chief negotiator for Matawa during regional strategy negotiations with the province. “There have been issues in the past about decisions that have been made without fully consulting with First Nations. Everybody recognizes the tremendous potential for development but we’ve also got to make sure the development is to the benefit of everyone in the whole community,” Rae said at the Victoria Inn Friday. Rae said his mandate is to deal with the province on development needs and not just mining projects, but a broad range of infrastructure needs like hydro, broadband, roads and the environmental assessment process. Aside from the physical infrastructure, there are also social issues that need to be addressed. “If we have big problems with drug addiction and big problems with health care and big problems with education, then people are not going to be able to take full advantage of opportunities that development poses,” said Rae. “This isn’t about one project.” Rae’s first task is visiting the nine communities within Matawa and finding out what the concerns and needs are in each one. He’ll know if he’s been successful at the end of the process if the First Nations are in a stronger economic position to take advantage of the development that occurs. “I would hope very much the social conditions of the people are improved to a point where individuals are going to be able to take advantage of the development as we go forward,” he said. Webequie First Nations Chief Cornelius Wabasse said the chiefs felt Rae would be a good candidate to work with and his past experience in politics would be an asset. “He’s been with the government and he has more access to resources, to people or contacts that he can utilize so it’s easier for us to channel through him,” Wabasse said. Rae’s role will be to work closely with the chiefs and communities and to take advice from them, said Wabasse. “We hope that he talks to the province about our GREENSTONE HARVEST CENTRE 807-854-3663 OFFICE: (807) 623-4455 FAX (807) 8541270 Nancy Sutherland Sales Representative (807) 854-5675 112 Highland Cres., Nakina Open concept living with 3 bedrooms Ran-Dan Motel 116 Dieppe Rd., Longlac Well maintained 17 unit motel 113 Third Ave NE Great starter home or rental income property.

Centrally located WWW.BELLUZ.COM 6 Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Local news Times Star price increase have yet to increases our rates Hello all: We at the Times Star have put a lot of thought into the newspaper since we took over on August 1 2012, as well as alot of work. Since we took over we have redesigned the entire Times Star, increased its size by 4 pages, and added new features to cater to our growing and dedicated clientele. We have added an online presence, as well as worked closely with local community groups to assist them in getting thier messages and news out to the community. In the last few weeks we have worked closely with Unimark Promotions to establish the weekly price of the Times Star, and have ar- rived at $1.50 per issue. This decision was not made lightly, but is one that needed to be made. A few numbers for everyone to consider, as we did, in coming up with our decision. 1. Since we have taken over we have increased the size of the Times Star by 4 pages, or 33%, and HARPER GOVERNMENT INVESTS TO SUPPORT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH IN THE GREENSTONE REGION GERALDTON, Ontario, May 9, 2013 – The Honourable Tony Clement, Minister for FedNor, today announced that the Harper Government is investing in the Greenstone Economic Development Corporation (GEDC) to help create jobs, enhance business development and growth, and strengthen the economy of the Greenstone region. “Small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy and our Government is committed to providing the tools they need to develop and prosper,” said Minister Clement. “Today’s announcement will ensure that the Greenstone Economic Development Corporation can continue to help local entrepreneurs succeed and create jobs.” GEDC will use $335,000 in FedNor funding to provide access to capital and counselling services to small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as support for community economic development for a one-year period. Based in Geraldton, GEDC is one of 24 Community Futures Development Corporations funded by FedNor to serve Northern Ontario businesses and communities. These not-for-profit organizations are run by volunteer boards and staffed by experienced business and economic development professionals. “This FedNor investment will enable us to strengthen the business sector in communities throughout the area and will support our efforts to improve the region’s economic outlook,” said Deanna Thibault, President of the Greenstone Economic Development Corporation. The funding announced today is provided through FedNor’s Community Futures Program, which supports projects that strengthen community economic development, and enhance business growth and competitiveness. "Our Government remains focused on four priorities, as outlined by the Prime Minister, that Canadians care most about: their families, the safety of their streets and communities, their pride in being a citizen of this country, and of course, their personal financial security," concluded Minister Clement.

The last price increase was on June 23 2010, when the price was increased 25% with no increase in the size of the issues. 3. As with your homes and businesses, the cost of utilities has increased for us as well. 4. Since our first 16 page issue we have consistently ran the Times Star at 16 pages, and plan to continue to do so. Some people may compare us to the Chronicle Journal, which is $1.00 per issue every day which puts them at over $7.00 per week where as we are $1.50 a week. There are also many weekly community newspaper in Ontario, as well as Canada, that are also priced at $1.50 and some as high as $2.00 a week. The Times Star has been in Greenstone for over 60 years and will continue to be for years into the future. We understand that the price increase may be a bit hard to grasp, but it is my hope that the numbers pre- sented above will allow our readers to see things from our perspective. thank you and we look forward to serving the Community of Greenstone for years to come. We are also beginning to test the waters to see if there is an interest in resurrecting the Advertiser Plus, which was a weekend newsletter which primarily served the community of Longlac. We will shortly begin to contact local business owners, as well as the general public to see if there is an appetite to bring back the Advertiser Plus. I/We would like to again thank all of loyal readers and advertisers for the amazing support you have given us since we took over the Times Star in August. It has been a fun challenge and learning experience, and we continue to grow and learn as the weeks pass. Thank you! Thank you, Eric K.

This annual event brought together 30 young scientists from across the Board. Science fairs are about more than students learning about their favourite science content. Science fair projects allow students to practice scientific thinking and problem solving, improvise when a procedure doesn’t work out as predicted, present science findings to others, and constructively critique each other’s work. If the presentation is being judge, it sharpens their skills in communicating science process and content. Students strengthen math skills through analyzing and graphing data; reading comprehension skills by doing complicated background research; and creative problem-solving skills throughout the process. Science fairs involve self-directed learning. While students learn important lessons in the 8 classroom and lab, science concepts become relevant as students see practical applications all around them and delve into scientific investigation of their own. When students control the hands-on exploration, they gain a deeper level of understanding than could ever be possible from a textbook or from following canned directions in a lab. Science fairs are an especially motivating way to learn. When students are charged with choosing their own topics and designing their own procedures, they are more likely to take ownership of their work and become personally invested in learning. If you think about what really stays with students, the science fair project is something they always remember.

The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)(1) of housing starts. "Home building slipped in April, as winter did not relinquish its grip on Northwestern Ontario. The delayed start to the new home construction season should not affect the forecast numbers for 2013. Given the tight resale market and improved employment prospects, CMHC's forecast is expected to be on par with 2012," said Warren Philp, CMHC's Market Analyst for Thunder Bay. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete pic- NOSM and the North Bay Regional Health Centre Combine Research Conferences On June 7 and 8, 2013, the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) and the North Bay Regional Health Centre (NBRHC) will be combining their conferences (Northern Health Research Conference, and the NBRHC Research Conference) into a single event. The two organizations share a common commitment to improving health care for Northern Ontarians. This will be NOSM’s eighth annual conference and, building on the successes of the previous seven years, will grow through this collaboration with NBRHC. This two-day conference will be held at Canadore College in North Bay. The conference will bring together Northern Ontario clinicians, health professionals, academics, and learners, who are utilizing and sharing research and practices for the improvement of health care and education for the North. The conference will provide opportunities for collaboration and networking, and will highlight projects underway from community-based researchers, students, residents, and health professionals. Over 60 presentations on a number of health-related topics relevant to clinical practice will be delivered. Additionally, the keynote address will be provided by Dr. Franco Vaccarino, Principal of the University of Toronto Scarborough and Vice President of the University of Toronto. Dr. Vaccarino’s presentation is entitled Neuroscience and Discovery Research. This conference will provide an optimal opportunity for the development and planning of future collaboration and networking between researchers, academics, and health professionals in the area. This conference will inspire discussion, facilitate research collaboration, and highlight the variety of health care research being completed by Northern researchers. Additional information can be found on the NOSM website at www.nosm.ca/nhrc or the NBRHC website at http://www.nbrhc.on.ca/research/research-conference-e.aspx. ture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analysing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 128 units in April, down over two hundred units from March. Preliminary Housing Starts data is also available in English and French at the following link: Preliminary Housing Starts Tables. As Canada's national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and upto-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions. IISD reaches agreement with Federal Government to Open ELA research facility immediately The Coalition to Save ELA is pleased to learn of a memorandum of understanding between the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada regarding the future of the Experimental Lakes Area. This memorandum will allow research to continue this summer while discussions proceed on the potential transfer of this world-renowned research facility. Since March 31, access to the site has been restricted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and researchers with ongoing studies have been in limbo. “This is the first sign of sanity I have seen from the Harper government on environmental matters. IISD is to be congratulated, and the many supporters of ELA thanked for their efforts”, Dr. David Schindler, Killam Memorial Professor of Ecology at the University of Alberta. “We are thrilled to learn that both on-going experiments and the long-term ecological monitoring program will continue this summer and wish the IISD success in its efforts to become the new home for the ELA”, says Dr. Britt Hall, Director of the Coalition to Save ELA. “Canadians should be relieved that the IISD has stepped up as the potential guardian of this invaluable, precious resource.” The Coalition to Save ELA welcomes IISD's leadership. While it remains to be seen whether the transfer will be finalized, the Coalition hopes the IISD in collaboration with scientists across Canada may explore research questions at ELA that were not supported under the federal umbrella. Further, the Coalition hopes scientists working for the IISD will have more freedom to openly communicate their research than they currently experience as federal government scientists. “This is definitely a positive development”, stated Dr. John Rudd, former ELA Chief Scientist. “Going forward, the success of the ELA will depend on the Canadian Government continuing to negotiate in good faith, and by the IISD upholding its assurances that the ELA will remain scientifically independent into the future”. Last year, the Harper Government axed federal funding for ELA, and planned to mothball or decommissions the station. Dr. Jules Blais, President of the Society of Canadian Limnologists, said “I don't think a scientific research facility has ever attracted this much public support so quickly there were demonstrations on Parliament Hill, countless editorials in newspapers, and a petition signed by nearly 30,000 Canadians”. “It was a mistake for the federal government to stop funding what has been a very solid investment for over four decades” asserted Dr. Carol Kelly, a former University of Manitoba Professor. “Regulations based on ELA science have saved billions of dollars in environmental damage and health care costs. It will be an excellent investment for those who decide to fund it in the future.” Wednesday, May 15, 2013 9 COMMUNITY EVENTS SUPPORT GROUPS RESOURCE PROGRAMS RESOURCE PROGRAMS BOARD MEETINGS GROUP ACTIVITIES Geraldton Hospice Northwest Palliative Care Support Services - For more information, call Brenda Abraham 854-1862 ext. 138. ----------------------- • ---------------------Do you, a family member or friend suffer from depression, manic depression, panic attacks, schizophrenia or other mental illness?

The ceremonies were held on April 22, 2013. Over 45 people attended the celebrations.
