Jourdain stands for change on National Platform
By: Teresa Hazel
Former Grand Chief of
Treaty #3 Territory, Leon Jourdain, has been nominated to
run for National Chief of the
Assembly of First Nations. He
joins Perry Bellegarde and
Ghislain Picard in the election
set to take place during the
Special Chiefs Assembly on
December 10, 2014 at the
RBC Convention Centre in
Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Jourdain was first elected
Grand Chief of Treaty #3 in
1999. He was then re-assigned
to that post after getting reelected in 2003.
“I was very aggressive in
protecting and preserving the
Anishinabe nation of Treaty
#3. I reinvigorated the traditional governance that was
there before contact with a
model that was culturally appropriate”.
Jourdain was making his
way to the National office at
that time.
“Part of re-institution called
for the National Assembly, a
call to the people to sit down
and talk for a few days while
Chiefs sat and listened to the
citizens about what they did
before contact”, explains Jourdain about the atmosphere at
the time.
“Some of the chiefs did not
understand the concept of
going back and revisiting our
method of governance under
our own constitution. There
was a lot of debating individually and within groups of
chiefs as they began to unravel
colonialism…of what the Indian Act did to them”.
Jourdain adds that this
process was to elevate the
chiefs to true leadership and
remove them from the superficial position of a Chief under
the Indian Act.
“The energy level on the
ground was not what I had
seen before. People were excited to see change taking
place. A method of governance
built on the foundation of our
own Constitution, Anishinabe
Nation, with full authority to
make law as a Nation”.
There were 1200 people at
the Assembly that year.
“That’s how huge the hope
and excitement was amidst the
hopelessness our people were
living in”.
It was from that platform that
the Anishinabe would begin to
make laws to govern their Nation.
“We did make law”, says
Jourdain. “The Child Care
Law, which is one of our
biggest responsibilities. Resource Law to govern the land,
which is also our responsibility – all the resources including the water.
Under our management, the
land would not be destroyed,
contaminated or defaced but
still able to generate revenue
without mass destruction”.
The idea at the time was to
crack the walls of colonialism
as they were getting thicker
and thicker every day.
“We would break the walls
from within and not rely on the
government”.
Unfortunately over the past
decade Jourdain has seen regression.
“Chiefs are going back to the
reservations where we were all
sent in 1876 when the Treaty
was signed. Go home and
hope for the best”, he says.
Jourdain points out that the
Canadian government did not
support the rebuilding of the
Nation.
“If we get together under the
umbrella of one Nation then
we would become a threat.
The divide and conquer tactic
which they set out to do in the
first place, we were doing the
opposite.
The government plan was
and still is to assimilate and
terminate the status of the indigenous people”.
Jourdain adds that because
there was a groundswell of
people following their leaders,
there was renewed energy that
gave hope for the future.
“There was reason and a purpose to live, which was not
what the government wanted.
I was a radical Grand Chief
that would not listen to the Indian agent. I fought the system
that has and continues to deny
our people their rightful place
on their own land”.
Jourdain speaks passionately
about his people living in an
environment of hopelessness.
“Our children are born into a
social system that is collapsed
and a world of living under a
welfare trap”.
It was during this time of renewed energy that Jourdain
had to face some of his own
demons. He was pulled over
and charged for driving under
the influence in 2004.
“I was wrong and had to accept the consequences”, says
Jourdain who no longer drinks
alcohol or uses drugs.
Also in 2004, Jourdain was
charged with sexual assault by
a colleague at the Treaty #3 office in Kenora, a charge that he
was never convicted of nor
was a trial ever heard because
on the day of the court case,
the accuser could not be
found.
That charge stripped Jourdain of his position as leader
of Treaty #3 territory.
Jourdain has spent the last
decade trying to pick up the
pieces of what the accusation
did to him personally, politically and professionally.
He also initiated a claim
against the Ontario Provincial
Police for malicious persecution that is still before the
Photographers’ showcase

courts.
Jourdain currently resides on
Lac la Croix First Nation in
Kenora, Ontario. He is working
as a Social Worker and Counselor/Therapist for Lac la
Croix.
So, how did you get here
Leon, running for National
Chief?
Jourdain explains that he was
asked by the elders of his community to attend the Treaty #3
chief’s assembly.
“They asked me to assist
them to put together a plan
dealing with Quetico Park.
They’ve had difficulty with the
Province not honouring the Coexistence Agreement that’s due
for renewal in 2015”.
Jourdain had negotiated the
original agreement back in
1994.
“The intent was to diversify
the economy for Lac la Croix.
Guiding was the economy at
that time. When Quetico was
turned into a Wilderness Park,
it no longer was allowing
motor boats. Eighty percent of
the community had been guides
and sustained their families
guiding in the park.
We took a stand at that time
and negotiated an agreement
for fifteen years. It’s been reviewed three times”.
The elders of Lac la Croix
chose Jourdain to speak to the
Treaty 3 Chief Assembly on
two resolutions.
“I asked for the Chiefs in Assembly support”.
Both resolutions were passed
with unanimous support, all
twenty three chiefs standing in
support.
It was following that Assembly that Jourdain was asked to
consider running for National
Office.
“I had no intentions to do it at
that time. I decided to go
through the nomination process
and now am a candidate”, he
smiles.
How do you rebuild a nation?
“The ideas are many. It’s
about freedom. It’s about
democracy. It’s about governing our own Territorial lands”.
Jourdain reflects on the
poverty and housing issues that
are still prevalent in First Nation communities
“There is black mold in
houses. Lack of education dollars and lack of anything that is
basic to sustain a family.
The level of funding we receive will never be enough. We
don’t want to be fed. We don’t
want to be programmed people.
All programs are a big sophisticated welfare trap. As long as
we’re in the welfare trap, our
people will never experience
what an economy is and what
an identity is.
In the future, the dream that I
have is that we will give rebirth
to the constitution of our peoContinued on page 2
Dramatic rescue in Rainy
Milka Kocis of Pine Cresc., Rainy River first saw this struggling whitetail doe several hundred feet out on the Rainy
River.
Photos by Fred Kocis
Nibs Kreger, with the help of Wally Hartnell pushed their
way out towards the struggling deer.
By Jack Elliott
It's that time of year. Ice is
forming on the Rainy River.
Hunters in blaze orange are
prowling the woods and fields
looking to bag a deer.
A deer, that is until one is in
trouble and needs to be rescued.
Just before 8 am Saturday,
November 15, Milka Kocis
looked out the window of her
riverfront home and noticed a
whitetail doe several hundred
feet out on the river had bro-
ken through the thin ice and
was struggling hopelessly to
escape the frigid death trap.
Why it had ventured onto the
ice we'll never know for sure.
A frantic call to the OPP and
the MNR for assistance had
both agencies in attendance
but neither had the equipment
necessary to carry out a rescue. By the time Milka's husband Fred had returned four
hours had passed. Milka was
distraught. Neighbours had
gathered but none had a plan
that would work.
Then Nibs Kreger roared
into the yard. "We are getting
that deer out of there right
now!" he stated and swung
into action. Comandeering a
neighour's aluminum boat he
tied a rope to the front of it,
and slid it out onto the ice.
With the assistance of Wally
Hartnell they rammed a
makeshift paddle and a pole
into the thin ice sliding out towards open water with the still
struggling deer.
"It took him only two throws
of the lassoo to nab the deer.
Then the crew on shore that included Fred Kocis, Greg
Brown, daughter Seneca, and
John Penner hauled away on
the mooring rope, skidding the
boat and deer in across the
breaking ice," stated Nibs'
wife, Cheryl.
Within a couple of minutes
of being dragged ashore the
bedraggled, ice encrusted deer
was on its feet and headed
across the neighbouring yards
and off into the bush, she
added. Perhaps it has a slim
chance of surviving, but a slim
chance is better than no
chance.
"It's a bit ironic, but Nibs was
heading out deer hunting next
week and now says it might be
pretty difficult to squeeze the
trigger," Cheryl concluded.
Nibs, a hard-rock exploration
diamond driller, might be described best as one of Rainy
River's roughest, toughest
characters- in the vernacular of
a western novel, a man with
the bark still on.
All the rescuers are hunters,
but true sportsmen.
The whitetail was ice encrusted and exhausted after his long struggle. Wally brings him into
shore as Nibs breathes a sign of relief.

From the house submitted by John Rafferty M.P.
This past Tuesday was Remembrance Day. It was a day
Canadians remembered and reflected upon the selfless service
and sacrifices of our veterans,
active military personnel, and
their families. By the end of
the week however it was more
obvious to me than ever that
these men and women have
long been forgotten by their
vain and self-serving federal
government.
I sit on the Veterans’ Affairs
committee in parliament and
represent a constituency where
we have recently lost our Veterans’ Affairs office to budget
cuts. I know these issues well
and I care deeply, not just for
today’s veterans, but for those
who will be veterans tomorrow
and their families who also
bear a heavy burden on our behalf. Seemingly every week I
learn of a new insult cast upon
these honourable men and
women by their own government and this past week, Remembrance Week, was no
exception.
When Stephen Harper’s government announced in its 201213 federal budget that it would
be closing 9 Veterans’ Affairs
offices, they said it was because the offices were no
longer needed and that they
were too expensive to continue
operating. The very next day
my staff and I gathered and
wrote down all of the questions
we wanted answered concerning these cuts. How many veterans visited these offices for
help accessing government
benefits each year? How much
money would be saved by the
closures? Does the Veterans
Affairs department have any
room in its budget to keep the
offices open? There were
more.
In the days and weeks after
the announcement I put many
of these questions in writing
and tabled them in the House of
Commons, and it wasn’t long
before we received a response
from the Minister for Veterans’
Affairs. The official figures he
provided showed that the 9 Veterans Affairs offices which
were closed in the past year
(Thunder Bay, Sydney, Charlottetown, Corner Brook,
Windsor (Ontario), Brandon,
Saskatoon, Kelowna, and
Prince George) served more
than 20,000 veterans annually
and had a total combined operating cost of just $5 million per
year. What’s more, the figures
showed that in 2012-13, the
same year these closures were
announced, Veterans Affairs
spent just 96% of its annual
budget as approved by parliament, which meant that more
than $172 million was left unspent in the budget for that department in that year.
Needless to say, I was
shocked and appalled when I
read the Minister’s response.
Not only did his government
and his department actually
have the $5 million required to
keep these 9 offices open, but
they left enough money unspent in their department to
open and staff another 310 Veterans’ Affairs offices as well.
Fast-forward to this past
week. My staff and I learned
that the Department of Veterans
Affairs has just launched a new
$5 million advertising campaign to – get ready for it –
highlight all of the great services provided by the Harper
government to Canada’s veterans. In the same fiscal year that
9 Veterans’ Affairs offices were
closed to save $5 million because “there was no money,”
there was somehow enough
money available - exactly $5
million – to fund a PR campaign to enhance the government’s own image. There are
no words.
Remembrance Day may
come and go each year, but
most Canadians that I know remember and appreciate the
selfless service and sacrifices
made by our military personnel
and their families year round. I
do hope, and believe, that one
day soon I will also be able to
say the same thing about our
federal government.

Lest We Forget
Jourdain stands for change
ple. Our children will pick it up
from there, brick by brick they
will continue to build.
Failure to do that, they will
just be another indigenous person living in poverty relying on
governmental programs”.
Jourdain speaks passionately
about Treaty #3 Territory.
“It is a very rich nation. Rich
with resources, minerals and
water. Two thirds of the world’s
fresh water supply is in Treaty
#3 and that is excluding the
Great Lakes”, notes Jourdain.
“In 25 years, that water will
be worth $75 Billion. The extraction of resources in Treaty
#3 on an annual basis is worth
$645 million – minerals, trees,
everything”.
Jourdain explains that these
resources are taken without
consent or any kind of revenue
going to the Anishinabe people.
“There is no revenue, but it is
guaranteed to us by inherent
rights, Aboriginal rights and
our Treaty.
Canada became a global sustaining Nation by taking resources from Treaty areas that
rightfully is held by Anishinabe
people that have proprietary
ownership of these resources”.
Jourdain discusses a submission that was made to the
World Trade Organization with
the assistance of an Australian
lawyer.
“Every tree that is taken from
our Nation without our consent
and a stamp of approval by our
Nation through our Resource
Law is stolen property. The
World Trade Organization
agreed with that”.
What defines a Nation?
Jourdain says it is the original
people, the original land, the
original culture and the original
language. Jourdain sees no reason why the National Chief
can’t sit on the United Nations.
“I was working toward that. I
became a real threat to Canada
and the Province to the point
where it was normalized to take
what they wanted from the Anishinabe people.”
Jourdain speaks again about
the box that First Nations are
put in.
“Anishinabe leaders are fighting from within the box (Indian
Act) and Canada and the
province are free to do what
they want. Anishinabe must see
through the smokescreen”.
Jourdain stands for breaking
out of the trap. He stands for
breaking out of the box and he
stands for breaking the walls of
the Indian Act and colonialism.
“Who are you? Where did
you come from? Where are you
going? The Chiefs must answer
that”, says Jourdain. “When
you let someone label you, you
become that label.
I am Anishinabe, a descendant of the Anishinabe Nation.
Once you are able to feel that
and allow that spirit to come
alive within you because it is in
you, you begin to decolonize
yourself and find your own
identity of who you are. Once
you find who you are, you can
see the world differently, not
looking through the lens of
someone else. You don’t need
lenses because you can see the
landscapes and world differently.
Irrespective of what government may think, I chose not to
see reservations, I don’t see
continued
from page 1
band numbers, I see human beings living and trying to survive
in communities that collectively make up the larger of the
Nation. One people. Non-aboriginal people and Metis people
across Treaty #3, I respect all of
them.
Once you have found your
own identity of how you came
into this world, and you are
proud of who you are and you
see all colours and races, then
you will be able to appreciate
the beauty.
We are all human beings trying to survive and trying to take
care of our families to the best
of our ability. No race is greater
than the other and everyone
must belong”.
Jourdain is a father to two
daughters and grandfather to
four grandsons. He is currently
married to Allana.
Eligible candidates for National Chief must be (18) years
of age or older; be of First Nations ancestry; be a member of
First Nation community in
good standing with the AFN;
and have 15 eligible electors,
First Nations Chiefs, endorse
his/her candidacy.
The National Chief is elected
by a majority of sixty (60) percent of the voters. There are
639 First Nation communities
in Canada that are recognized
as members of the Assembly of
First Nations. The Chief or
his/her proxy is eligible to vote
for National Chief.

Couple's charity work victim of
"war" on organized crime
houses" and claimed that the
rents received by the Reillys most of which came from tenants' welfare payments - were
"proceeds of crime".
In September, 2008, heavily
armed OPP officers swooped
in and seized the properties.
The government got an order
to "manage, preserve and secure" the houses pending a trial
to determine whether it would
get to keep them.
Instead, over the past six
years, the government has
"preserved" the properties into
utter dilapidation. The Reillys'
private detective took photos
proving that drug dealing was
ongoing, and possibly even
more prevalent, under the
province's management. The
province finally boarded the
houses up three years ago and
now complains about the expense of "maintaining" them.
Despite the squads of armed
police officers at its disposal,
the province was unable to prevent illegal activity in these
houses, but somehow expected
the landlords to do so. Police
would go there armed "to ensure the safety of [the] officers"
but the landlords were supposed to - unassisted - evict the
same tenants who so frightened
the cops.
Mrs. Reilly did in fact seek an
eviction order for three tenants,
but the Landlord and Tenant
Board denied it. I'm not surprised. I've seen tenants smirk
out of a courtroom after a
judge gave them yet another
chance that their exhausted
landlord was unwilling to
grant. How many times was
Mrs. Reilly supposed to try before concluding that the system
wouldn't let her evict?
And who enabled these tenants to maintain their unemployed lifestyle while dealing
drugs in the first place? The
provincial
government,
through its welfare system - in
other words, the same government that now expected two
private individuals to clean up
the mess it had created, the
same government that now
By Karen Selick

In 2001, I appeared before a
committee of the Ontario legislature and predicted that Bill
155 - the so-called Civil Remedies Act - would violate the
property rights of innocent individuals. The government
passed the bill anyway, and
other provinces soon followed
suit.
These "civil forfeiture" laws
- which few Canadians have
even heard of - allow provincial governments to seize property that has allegedly been
used in crime, or may constitute proceeds of crime, even if
nobody has ever been charged
with, let alone convicted of, a
related offense.
One unfortunate victim of
Ontario's law is Margaret
Reilly of Orillia. Following in
the footsteps of her father, an
Anglican priest who operated a
youth hostel for many years,
Mrs. Reilly worked with disadvantaged people since her
youth. Her husband Terry, an
insurance broker, shared her
concern for the needy. He sat
on the local housing committee, aiming to remedy the city's
homelessness problem.
Together, the couple tried to
provide private housing for
disadvantaged individuals in
two rooming houses they
owned. They improved the
houses and brought them up to
fire code. Most of their tenants
were referred by social workers, but sometimes even Orillia's mayor would send people.
The tenants were poor, uneducated, and often on welfare.
Many had addiction or mental
health problems.
The Reillys actively assisted
their tenants, driving them to
detox centres and occasionally
offering them employment.
But some of the tenants apparently continued to use illegal
drugs. Some may even have
sold illegal drugs in their
rooms.
The Ontario government labelled the properties "crack

property because she couldn't
do what the province itself
can't do.
Recently, a judge held that
the properties are to be sold,
even though the trial still has
not been held to determine
whether Mrs. Reilly should get
them back. In their current
state - described by the government lawyer as "filthy", and so
bad that the government's asset
administrator donned a "hazmat suit" to enter - they won't
fetch much.
Meanwhile, hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been
squandered on legal fees on
both sides, and more will be
spent on the trial.

crime and assist crime victims?
Sometimes it's very rewarding being able to say "I told

where it's hard to take much
satisfaction over having been

“Darling, You Can’t Do Both, And Other Noise to Ignore on Your Way Up”
by Janet Kestin & Nancy Vonk
Ladies should always speak
quietly.
They should never interrupt,
never exhibit anger or be impolite. Ladies should always gently defer to their superiors.
They should never ask for anything, but should be grateful for
what they get. Ladies should
know their limits.
And, as you’ll see in the new
book “Darling, You Can’t Do
Both” by Janet Kestin & Nancy
Vonk, women in business
should pay no attention to any
of the above.
The headlines come at no surprise. Men make more than
women for doing the same job,
and it’s been ongoing for eons
Moos by Kim Jo Bliss
Last week turned into quite a
busy week and already this
one isn’t looking much better!
I still haven’t been able to figure how we have arrived at the
middle of November! I was
thinking that I would only
have good things to report this
week but I woke up this morning to a dead calf. One of the
calves that we just recently
weaned was over on his back
– dead. Not really how I
planned to start off my morning, my week or my Moos.
Frustrating, but dead is dead.
They seemed to be all clustered up on a clump of hay and
he on the edge and with his big
gut must have got too far over
and that was it. He was one of
the calves that were very sick
when he was born – I managed
to get him through all of that –
and now this! (If you are
going to have livestock – you
are going to have deadstock –
Chris Cannon D.V.M.)
On a happier note; my friend
Maria and I made the trip to
Brandon to pick up our new
heifers. They seem to be settling into life in Emo. I still
have them locked in the corral.
This way when the cows come
home for a drink they can
smell each other and possible
be somewhat used to each
other and there will be less of
a fight when I let them out to
join the herd. Cows can be
miserable fighters – even if
one of them is in the barn
overnight. I want to avoid a
big fight with everyone being
quite heavy in calf.
Maddie and Marlee were off
to Thunder Bay for a hockey
tournament so they have yet to
see the new heifers. I decided
to choose which heifer I would
give to each of them to avoid
problems. They had a busy
weekend of hockey and their
team ended up winning the
tournament! It sounded like
their team played very hard all
weekend!
Congratulations
girls.
Friday night we celebrated
Debbie Z’s birthday at my
house with a Fondue night. I
am not sure if we ever got full
or we just ended up getting
tired of cooking! If nothing
else it was an entertaining
night with lots of laughs. I
recommend doing that only
when you have lots of time!
I spent most of Saturday visiting! A good friend of mine
was in town for her Grandpa’s
funeral so I met her first thing
for breakfast. It was a great
couple hour visit. Too bad of
her circumstances but it was
certainly nice to see her. I then
made it over to a great friends
place in town to drop off a
birthday gift – that was overdue. I was planning to only
stay a few minutes – ha ha.
Home for chores and then off
to other friends for supper!
Whew --- that was a lot of visiting!
Finally – our tractor has been
fixed and made it home! I was
much relieved. So since I
spent the day visiting Sunday
was a big farm day. Some of
the incompleted jobs won’t get
completed now since winter is
here but I was able to move
bale feeders and start feeding
my animals properly! What a
relief – well least until we see
the repair bill! Thanks to Darryl Meck for fixing our tractor
though – it is appreciated by
me and all my animals.
The Rainy River Soil & Crop
Annual Meeting will be held
next Tuesday November 25th
– 7:00 p.m. at the Emo Inn.
Everyone is welcome. Watch
for a full agenda!
because yes, gender bias does
exist in many workplaces. Our
feminist foremothers tried to
fix that, but, say Kestin &
Vonk, “we still have work to
do” and rules to break.
One of the rules says that
we’ll never be successful unless we work constantly. That’s
a rule to ignore, say the authors; break it, and you’ll learn
that the best thing you’ll do for
your career is to give yourself
occasional time away from it.
Decide what you need and
“strike your own deal.”
Women are connectors, instilled with a reticent politeness
that can backfire, especially
when we heed the “good things
come to those who wait” rule.
Truth is, once we’ve become
accustomed to asking for mentors, we learn more; once we
learn to ask for what we’re
worth, we earn more: research
suggests that a woman can
leave between $350,000 and a
half a million bucks on the
table during her working years
if she doesn’t know how to negotiate a salary.
Another rule demands that we
be “nice” and assumes we’ll
nurture, which could lead to
perceptions of softness that
might disqualify us for top
jobs. Assertive behavior, say
the authors, is essential in the
workplace. You don’t have to
be aggressive, but learn how to
toot your own horn - and if you
can’t make music, learn a good
work-around.
Know when to ask for help,
know what you need, and put
the word “no” back into your
vocabulary. Own your accomplishments. Look for role models who know how to take
risks. And if you want to “have
it all,” remember that becoming
a mother can make you a better
employee.
I began to feel like a bobblehead doll as I was reading
“Darling, You Can’t Do Both.”
Yep (nod-nod), yes (nod-nod),
uh-huh (nod-nod-nod). Yes,
(nod-nod), it’s that kind of
book.
Like their career, authors
Janet Kestin & Nancy Vonk
begin their book with a tale of
soap, moving forward with personal anecdotes, cautionary
tales from other women, and
advice. The former serves to
underscore the latter, which is
written with breezy, offhand informality, yet is curiously authoritative. That mixed mien
makes this helpful, whether
you sit in the farthest cubicle or
the fanciest corner office.
If you’re tired of career obstacles and need guidance now,
this is a book that’ll make you
itchy to act and ready to go.
“Darling, You Can’t Do Both”
proves that, in business, you
just don’t have to do it quietly.

Let the shopping begin
By: Teresa Hazel
Well, Thanksgiving is over in
Canada, and so is Halloween,
and Remembrance Day has
also been observed. So, it
seems that even though the
winter season doesn’t officially start until December
21st, the focus for the next
month or so will be on the arrival of Christmas.
I recently watched a funny
segment by comedian Chris
Rock where he reflects on the
meaning of Christmas, which
in the Christian belief is the
celebration of the birth of
Jesus Christ. Rock elaborates,
“Now, I don’t know Jesus but
from what I read Jesus is the
least materialistic person to
ever roam the earth and they
turned his birthday into the
most materialistic day of the
year”. He goes on to say that
not only his birthday was commercialized but a whole season of materialism was
created, poking jabs at consumerism.
With that said, please don’t
get me wrong. I get it. Shopping is fun and finding that
perfect gift for a friend, family
member or co-worker is great.
Seeing the eyes of little chil-
dren light up on Christmas
morning when they open their
gifts or feeling the spirit of giving that is very apparent during
the season, whether it is supporting food banks, health care
or a neighbour in need.
It was fun walking along
Scott Street and seeing women
– friends and sisters – enjoying
a Ladies Night shopping experience. There were snacks at
some of the stores and ladies
were seen visiting and browsing the selection of items available.
It was a social event with a bit
of shopping thrown in. There
were discounts, tax-free promotions and gift draws (Reporters Note: I won the skin
care products and free facial at
Shear Serenity!!!).
I do hope that the next five
weeks is a time of joy and
peace, a time to share the gift of
you and embrace the gifts that
others have to offer. As you
hopefully Go Local with your
shopping, may you also go to a
place of loving your neighbour
as yourself, which I believe
might be a little more on point
to the message of Jesus.
Friends Mandy Lahti, Samantha Manty and Sarah Marusyk
were checking out the winter jackets available at McTaggart’s.
Sisters Melissa Belluz and Gina Pope as well as Hannah
Pope were heading into Tagg’s Source for Sports to check
out what was available tax free.
Melanie Kozik, owner of Living Art Emporium had three
free draws for ladies who came in to check out her eclectic
variety of stuff. From clothing and giftware from India,
Peru and Guatemala and a new line of gemstones from
Brazil, this little shop has a little bit of everything.
Linda Kitowski sampled the appetizers and punch at Betty’s
where sales clerk Nancy Dittaro ensured there was enough
available for everyone. The artichoke dip made with
Hagen’s Salad Dressing (available for sale at Betty’s) was
amazing!!! Recipes were available too.
Joanne Kivimaki was checking out the scarves at Betty’s
with the help of Judy Kielczewski.

A Holiday Market
By: Teresa Hazel
On the weekend, a Holiday
Market was held at the multiuse facility on Couchiching
First Nation. There were about
40 vendors from artisans sell-
ing their creations to homebased business consultants
representing long-standing pioneers in the business –
AVON, to new businesses that
Sisters Sarah Langtry and Kerri Dittaro, consultant for
Gold Canyon – Friends, Fragrance and Fun were taking orders for candles at the Holiday Market.
sell products to help people in
Africa.
There was homemade fudge
(delicious, I mean really delicious!!!) and there were hand-
made mittens sewn from wool
sweaters and blankets (great
gift idea!!!). There was jewellery and more jewellery,
kitchen products and candles,
as well as Alpaca scarves, essential oils and so much more.
Markets and craft sales are
such a great way to shop to find
those one-of-a-kind items for
those one-of-a-kind friends. I
am always so impressed with
how many talented and creative
people we have in the Rainy
River district.
Kirsty Sinclair, consultant for One Earth showed the catalogue of products available to Ashlee Nordstrom and Brittany Martin.
Adornments owner Sal Beck shared her gift of creativity to
those in the market for jewellery made from silver plate,
copper, sterling silver and leather. Sal’s one-of-a-kind jewellery can also be found at Living Art Emporium.
Charleen Mallory was selling her own creations as well as
showcasing products she distributes for Princess House, a
collection of kitchen wares.
Jeannine Gagnon and Penny Wood bought earrings from
Africa Matters Too. Local representative Jann Hall who volunteers her time explains that the products come from
African artisans and all proceeds go back to help with orphanages, schools, healthcare and single moms.
“From my hands to your hands” Vi Belluz was selling her
hand-sewn mittens made from wool sweaters and blankets.
Gerry-Lynn Cousineau is a sales consultant for Silpada –
Live Life in Style, a home-party based business featuring
sterling silver and brass jewellery.
Joyce Witherspoon bought a brick of Caramel Crunch
fudge and Peppermint fudge from Peggy Johnson who along
with her daughter Rhonda Howells sells a delicious variety
of home-made fudges for ten dollars each. Call 274-9687 to

Christmas Extravaganza kicks off
By: Teresa Hazel
The Fine Line Art Gallery is
celebrating their Annual
Christmas Extravaganza reports Jean Richards who was
instrumental in creating a
place where local artists could
sell their creations.
“During the Christmas Extravaganza, we have more
artists who bring in their stuff
to sell”, explains Richards.
“The fee is ten dollars for the
space and then we take a 20%
commission on whatever
sells”, notes Richards adding
that that is the standard rate at
most other locations and there
is still space available.
In addition to the lovely artwork, carvings, paintings, pot-
Artists Jean Richards and Paulette Henttonen showcase some of the new items available at

The next time an older person
reaches the cash register before
you and begins slowly counting
her nickels and dimes, take the
extra time to consider how welcome that senior feels in your
community.
Think about the bus steps she
may have to climb with her purchases, the fast-changing crosswalk outside the store that's
built for the young and spry.
In some rural Canadian towns,
those seniors now comprise 40
per cent of the population.
Older people do a great deal
for communities. They’re taxpayers and caregivers and without them many communities
would no longer be sustainable.
It’s time to turn the lens around
and ask what communities are
doing for them. The age-friendliness of our cities and towns
needs to become a priority.
On October 15 a panel of international experts met in Winnipeg to discuss how the
world's rural and remote communities can be more agefriendly. The symposium,
Age-Friendly Rural and Remote Communities and Places,
follows a 2007 World Health
Organization report that addresses the views of older people from every continent in the
world.
The problems are remarkably
similar.
Seniors everywhere said they
need more accessible communities, better housing and more
opportunities for social engagement. They want clean, wellmaintained environments in
which to spend their retirement.
Some live in quiet neighbourhoods they enjoy, but others
complain of poor public transit
and impatient drivers.
Providing age-friendly spaces,
such as parks and well-maintained sidewalks, permits seniors to become active, healthy
members of society. Better
streets also mean opportunities
for physical activity and social
engagement. In short, a higher
quality of life - for everyone.
Looking at these issues in
rural and remote communities is
important because many are
rapidly ‘graying.’ Younger people leave to find employment;
older generations stay behind.
Access to affordable housing
and transportation options, for
example, are major issues to address in these areas. In fact, access to affordable housing with
the proper accommodations is a
basic requirement for good
health.
As more people move to urban
areas, there's a tendency among
city-dwellers to dismiss the
needs of rural communities with
small populations. However,
our economy needs rural communities - agriculture, fishing,
mining are all important parts of
the Canadian fabric. Therefore,
it’s in everyone’s best interest to
ensure the sustainability of
small towns by making them
more liveable.
Creating a positive environment begins with the very structure of our buildings. Many
seniors have difficulty with
stairs in public buildings but
also in their own homes. In
other words, age friendliness
reaches to the very design of our
communities and organizations.
Governments and planners
need to put older people’s needs
on the agenda lest a large pro-
portion of our population become excluded. An older person
may not leave the house if the
curbs aren’t low enough to step
over, or if there isn’t enough
seating on the street to stop and
rest.
There are also small things we
can all do to make our communities age-friendly. We rarely
slow down long enough to consider the needs of the older people around us. Whether it’s
taking the time to speak more
slowly or helping someone
cross the street, everyone has a
role in creating more inclusive
communities for seniors.
And what’s good for the old is
good for the young, too. An agefriendly community is more
than a place that puts its seniors
first. It’s a friendly community,
period - and that’s something
we should all be striving for.

How to pull yourself out
of a slump
Just singing the Blues
Mike McInerney got an autographed copy of Harpdog’s latest CD, What it is.
By: Teresa Hazel
Harpdog Brown brought his
musical talents to the Bistro
North restaurant located in the
Copper River Inn transforming the venue to a Lousianastyle pub in New Orleans.
His harmonica skills are exquisite as are the guitar skills
of Art Edmonds who is travelling with Harpdog Brown on
this Canadian tour.
Harpdog Brown has been on
Canada’s blues scene since
1982. He was born in Edmonton, Alberta and is now based
in Vancouver, BC. He has released six CD’s and been nom-
inated for a Juno for the Best
Blues Release in Canada.
Guests were seen clapping
and having fun as they dined
on a superb menu featuring elk
and duck as well as Arctic
char, steak and seafood pasta.
Mike McInerney who hails
from Rainy River is not only a
fan of the blues but also plays
the blues (harmonica, guitar
and penny whistle as well as
many other instruments). He
even got his wife up to share a
dance. Mike recently battled
throat cancer and shared his
exuberance for the gift of life,
sporting a bracelet that encour-
ages one to embrace life.
Harpdog played both Friday
and Saturday night and noted
that he hopes to stop again as
he travels back through
Canada.
As I write this, I’m listening
to a track titled, In My
Younger Days, which is on his
latest CD, What it is. Check it
out
at
www.harpdogbrown.com or
on You Tube.
To keep updated on future
entertainment and events coming up at the Copper River Inn,

I invite you to try this right
now: Sit in a chair with your
legs crossed or close together,
bring your elbows into your
waist, clasp your hands together and place them on your
lap, then round your shoulders
and drop your head. Now say,
"I am confident and powerful."
Well . . . you don't look it.
Closed postures reflect low
power. In that slumped posture
- regardless of anything you
said - most people would judge
you as submissive and powerless. Just as important, in that
position you would begin to actually feel less confident and
sure of yourself.
An Ohio State University
study found that people who
were slumped over their desks
were less likely to believe the
positive comments they wrote
about their qualifications for a
job. Those who sat up straight
were more likely to accept their
own statements as valid.
Blame it on "embodied cognition," the idea that the mind is
not only connected to the body
but that the body influences the
mind.
The science behind this has
been documented in various
studies including that at Harvard and Columbia Business
Schools in which researchers
looked at the physical and emotional effects of holding both
high and low power poses.
High power posers (who held
a "Superman" or "Wonder
Woman" posture with legs
apart, shoulders back, and
hands on hips) not only looked
more powerful, they felt it - the
result of higher levels of testosterone, the power and dominance hormone, and lower
levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.
Low power posers, on the
other hand, experienced significant drops in testosterone and
increases in cortisol - which left
them looking and feeling less
powerful and more vulnerable.
Slumping may even make
you feel depressed. A study at
Queens University in which
subjects walked on a treadmill
found that those who were encouraged to walk with a more
slumped body posture remembered more negative words on
a follow-up test. Those who
walked with an upright posture
recalled more positive words.
To the researchers, this was evidence that assuming a "happier" posture helped create
happier people.
This agrees with findings
from research at Ohio State
University that assessed how
posture affected an individual's
ability to generate positive and
negative thoughts. Sitting up
straight, participants found it
easier to conjure up positive
thoughts and memories.
Posture also affects energy
level and productivity. Ninetysix computer users employed at
a municipal utility provider
volunteered to be evaluated in
the workplace. A functional assessment of posture, lung function and strength was
performed wearing a PostureShirt - a form-fitting garment from Alignmed with
controlled stretch neuro-bands
that gently pull the shoulders
back, and which in turn, enhances alignment of the spine
and improves forward head and
shoulder posture.
The results were impressive.
Postural fatigue and muscular
fatigue decreased by 21 per
cent and 29 per cent, respectively, and energy level and
productivity increased by 20
per cent and 13 per cent, respectively.
When workers are fatigued
they not only make mistakes
and deplete energy, they are
more susceptible to certain
kinds of injuries. Organizations
concerned with wellness (and
rising worker's compensation
costs) are taking notice - ordering ergonomic chairs, offering
Yoga and other exercise
classes, and investing in sensory devices that tell workers
when their posture starts to sag.
And when Bill Shultz (the president of Alignmed) spoke at a
recent worker's compensation
conference, the audience was
interested to hear about the
PostureShirt's simple solution
to workplace fatigue and productivity that also addresses
some of the workplace injuries
that can be controlled.
If you spend the day slumped
over a keyboard, your body
starts to tell your mind that you
are less - less powerful, less
positive, less productive. So
pulling yourself out of that
slump by sitting up straight or
standing tall can improve your
energy, you mood, and even
your health.

News from the McInnes
Creek Chapel
Submitted by Rebecca
Wood
Members of the McInnes
Creek Chapel Board met on
November 2 to discuss details
of our fall yard and chapel
maintenance and to plan our
annual old fashioned Christmas Dinner.
The report of our cleanup
crew was quite entertaining as
they told of the huge bees nest
in the chimney. It’s no wonder
we had been having furnace
trouble! The nest filled the
chimney from wall to wall and
about 2 feet deep! Being unsuccessful at dislodging it
from the bottom, it was decided to call in the big guns!

Mr. Advent came to our rescue
with his ladder truck, and
courageously pounded it down
from the top. Unfortunately
the stream of honey that
flowed down the inside of the
chimney was black with soot.
The good news is that the furnace will be keeping us warm
for the Christmas Dinner on
December 6th although that
sweet smell may not be the
dessert cooking!
On Friday, December 5 at 9
a.m. volunteers will meet at
the chapel in the woods to set
up tables and decorate the
chapel for dinner the next day.
We welcome anyone who
would like to give us a hand
that day as many hands make
light work. If you don’t know
where we are, just follow the
scenic river road North, or
Hwy 600 until you see the sign
pointing West to the chapel.
We always finish our work
time with a shared pot luck

WULU IT, Inc. announces
the release of WULU, an
iPhone app designed to create
a social space for meaningful
online conversation.
Like any invention WULU
was born out of necessity, at
least that's how principal
founder Mike Nyhus felt about
the existing social landscape
— it needed something new.
"I was watching sports highlights one night and wanted to
talk about it on my usual social
channels — but I felt like I
might as well have been talking to myself." says Mike
Nyhus, President of WULU.
It was enough motivation for
Mike to want to create something different.
Mike tapped some friends
with digital experience, who

were also growing frustrated
with the impersonal nature of
social media. Together, they
built a concept for a new kind
of social app — one that
would challenge the central
role of the status update in
today's social landscape.
"I think everybody has had
that experience where you post
something online and nobody
responds" said Nyhus, "back
in the days of IRC and newsgroups, people were excited
just to talk with each other.
We're trying to bring that
back."
To bring the excitement of a
real conversation back to so-
cial, the team created WULU
— a real-time, topic-based
conversation app. Users pick a
trending topic and the app
matches them in small groups
to talk about it. In the spirit of
friendly competition, users can
also reward each other's comments with a "Nod" and compete to gain points in each
conversation.
Unlike traditional social platforms, WULU is organized by
shared interests, not status updates. The team describes it as
chat, plus social, plus gaming
— all of which add up to a
place for real people and real
conversation.

RRHS Owls ongoing Income splitting not
the best economic
bang for the buck
Taylor Armstrong
Our drama club and writers
group will be putting on a performance called “Friday Night
Live” on Friday, November
21st, starting at 7 pm. Its free
admission and there will be refreshments available! We will
be reading stories and poetry,
doing skits and improv scenes!
We had a great Halloween
Spirit week, and now we’re
moving on to our Anti- bullying week and owls world
records. During our Anti-bullying week we will be having
activities during lunch that students can participate in and
win the owl world record in
this category!
On Wednesday November
11th, after our Remembrance
Day ceremony at school and
trip to the cenotaph; 27 of our
students and staff, along with
Lake of The Woods school got
on a bus and headed to St. Paul
Minnesota! We spent one
night and on Thursday, November 12th we attended We
Day!
It was a great experience!
There were many speakers
with amazing stories! There
were a total of about 1800 people in the stadium, the energy
was insane! The Band Perry
performed two songs, they
were incredible! Magic Johnson also came and said a few
words. JR Martinez came and
told a story of his life after he
fought in Iraq.
There was also a 16 year old
girl Ashley Murphy, who had
gone to Africa to help build a
community, she said how the
children were born with HIV
and so was she. She explained
how she came from a family
of about 12, with 8 of them
having a disability. When she
was born she was so underweight they didn’t expect her
to make it, but she kept fighting. There were many more
performers and speakers. It
was a truly empowering day!
The students who went really
enjoyed it and hopefully
brought some of that compassion back to our school!
Money Matters
• Increased convenience
Automatic payment saves
time, eliminates cheque-writing and mailing hassles and
helps the environment by reducing paper use. It also
lessens the risk of your cheque
being delayed, lost or stolen
by mail. Don't be daunted by
having to fill out a few forms
to sign up for automatic payment. Spending a little extra
time this month can save you
hours over the next year.
• Payment options
You can choose one-time
bill pay, where you first review
your bill and then authorize
payment, or automatic bill pay,
where your bills are paid automatically at a scheduled time.
Both options are typically
available from your financial
institution or payment card
company. Some merchants do
charge a small fee for accepting automatic payments, although most don’t.
• Earn rewards
If your credit or debit card
offers usage rewards such as
airline mileage or cash rebates,
your reward points can add up
as you pay your monthly bills.
• Safety
Automatic payment transactions using payment cards can
be protected against card
fraud, theft or unauthorized
card purchases (details are
available through payment
card issuers). Always monitor
your monthly statement to
By Carla Hindman, Director of Financial Education,
Visa Canada
Paying bills is not a popular
pastime. Aside from departing
from your money, it can be a
tedious routine of travelling to
your local financial institution
or writing and mailing
cheques. I’ve also experienced
a few late fees when payments
got stuck at the post office and
didn’t arrive in time.
Then I discovered automatic
bill payments, where your bills
are paid automatically through
your debit or credit card or
through an electronic transfer
out of your bank account.
Most financial institutions and
payment card companies offer
automatic bill payment services and more and more merchants accept this convenient
– and often free – way to pay
bills.
Automatic bill-paying features include:
• Flexibility
Thousands of national and
local merchants accept automatic bill payments through
payment cards or chequing-account debits, including phone
companies,
utilities,
cable/satellite TV providers,
insurance companies, gyms,
and newspapers/magazines.
Many lenders allow automatic
payment for mortgages and
other loans and may even offer
some type of discount for setting it up.
identify unauthorized transactions.
To enroll, contact the companies that regularly bill you for
services to learn about their
automatic payment options, or
contact your financial institution to see what bill payment
services they offer.
Some final thoughts to help
you be a savvy consumer
when it comes to using a billpaying service:
• Ask if there are any fees involved.
• Before signing the automatic bill payment agreement,
make sure you understand and
accept the terms.
• To stop service, you must
notify the merchant as well as
the financial institution/payment card issuer. Cancellation
may take a month or two to
become effective, so plan
ahead.
• If your credit or debit card
expires or is replaced, the merchant may need the new card
information to ensure uninterrupted service.
• Track expenses carefully
and keep your budget up to
date.
If you find solace in sitting
down at the kitchen table to
pay your bills, then automatic
bill payment isn't for you. Personally, I'd rather spend that
time doing something I enjoy.
prove economic incentives or
Canada's
competitiveness.
Therein lies the missed opportunity.
Other reforms would allow
the government to both fix the
tax distortion while at the same
time strengthening our economy and improving our tax
competitiveness.
Consider a recent Fraser Institute study that surveyed the
existing research on marginal
tax rates. The weight of the evidence clearly shows that high
and increasing marginal personal income taxes discourage
investment and entrepreneurship, which form the basis for
a thriving economy.
Consecutive federal governments, both Liberal (in 2005)
and Conservative (in 2006),
have identified the destructive
effect of Canada's personal income tax rates. Indeed, the
Conservatives highlighted the
need to reduce personal income tax rates well before any
mention of income splitting.
Tax relief in the form of
lower personal income tax
rates would achieve the dual
purpose of diminishing the tax
bias between households and
strengthening Canada's economy.
One option is to eliminate the
two middle-income tax brackets of 22 and 26 per cent, leaving one tax bracket (15 per
cent) for the overwhelming
majority of Canadians and a
single high-income bracket of
29 per cent, which would only
affect approximately 2 per cent
of taxpayers.
Such a change reduces the
number of brackets and thus
the income tax system's com-
By Charles Lammam
and Jason Clemens
The Fraser Institute
After seven consecutive
years of budget deficits, the
federal government is finally
set to balance the budget.
While the government has
long expressed that tax relief is
its top post-deficit priority, the
major question has always
been: what form will the tax
relief take?
Now we finally know. Prime
Minister Stephen Harper recently announced his government will introduce income
splitting for tax purposes at an
annual cost of roughly $2 billion. The government is right
to focus on tax relief and address a distortion in the tax
code, but it missed an opportunity to think big and enact tax
reform that lays the foundation
for stronger economic growth.
Income splitting tackles a
distortion in Canada's tax system between households.
Households with similar incomes can face very different
income tax bills depending on
who earns the income. If a
household has two earners at,
say, $50,000 each, it would ultimately pay lower combined
income taxes than a one-earner
household with the same
amount of income.
In principle, households with
similar incomes should face
similar tax burdens. The distortion between dual-income
households and those where
most income is earned by one
spouse is due to Canada's progressive personal income tax
system - tax rates increase significantly as income increases.
Since income tax rates apply to
individual earnings, rather than
family income, single earner
families are taxed at higher
rates than dual-income families with the same family income.
By allowing households to
move income from one spouse
facing higher rates to the other
spouse, income splitting is one
way to help fix this distortion.
Income splitting, however,
does virtually nothing to im-
plexity, improves economic incentives, and diminishes the
need for income splitting for
almost all households. If fully
implemented, it would cost an
estimated $21.4 billion.
The government could use
expected future surpluses to finance part of the proposal to
eliminate the two middle-income tax brackets. The remainder could be financed
through the elimination or reduction of tax expenditures
(this includes tax credits for
particular activities such as enrolling kids in arts or sports
classes).
The totality of government
resources consumed by tax expenditures is actually quite
large. In 2013, the latest year
of available data, the federal
government spent over $140
billion on personal income tax
expenditures while collecting
$130.8 billion in personal income taxes. Yes, the federal
government spent more money
providing carve-outs and special treatment than it collected
in personal income taxes.
Reducing personal income
tax rates would provide
broader-based tax relief and an
enormous improvement in our
tax competitiveness while
strengthening the incentives
for work effort, savings, investment, and entrepreneurship. Canadians would get far
bigger bang for their buck with
big-picture reforms such as
broad-based personal income
tax cuts than tinkering with income splitting.

Clemens are economists with
