Idle no more continues to sweep
across Canada over weekend
A day after First Nations
chiefs held what was described as a working meeting with Prime Minister
Stephen Harper in Ottawa,
Idle No More protesters
were held Saturday in
communities across the
country.
The movement, which
began in November and
quickly spread, is largely a
protest against Bill C-45,
the federal government's
omnibus bill that proposes
changes to the Navigable
Protection Act as well as
the Indian Act, raising fears
it will breach aboriginal
treaty rights.
Saturday's protests included:
St. John's - Activists were
ejected from the Avalon
Mall shortly after their
protest began around
12:30 ET.
Guelph, Ont. - Rally on
Carden Street, 2:30 p.m. ET.
Trois-Rivières, Que. - Small
demonstration, 1 p.m. ET.
Edmonton - Latino-Canadians in support of Idle No
More outside the West Edmonton Mall, 4 p.m. ET
Banff, Alta. - Flash mob
round dance in support of
the movement at the Banff
Cascade Mall, 3 p.m. ET.
Winnipeg - Protest planned
outside the offices of the
Winnipeg Sun to encourage respect in online
media, 2 p.m. ET.
Hay River, N.W.T. - Rally on
Highway 1 at the N.W.T./ Alberta border, noon to 2
p.m. ET.
Organizers with the grassroots movement are calling for an Idle No More
World Day of Action on
Jan. 28, when Canadian
MPs return to the House of
Commons.
Also showing solidarity are
some prominent Canadians who say they are rejecting
their
Queen
Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals and giving
them back to Gov. Gen.
David Johnston.
Writer and activist Naomi
Klein, singer Sarah Slean
and Maude Barlow, chair
of the Council of Canadians, said on Friday they
would be returning their
awards.
Some 60,000 Canadians
were singled out in 2012
for the special honour
which marks 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's
accession to the Throne.
Honourees were chosen
for their contributions to
their community or for "an
achievement abroad that
brings credit to Canada."
About 20 people from the
Millbrook First Nation
blocked the CN Rail line
between Halifax and Truro,
N.S., for about nine hours
on Friday. They left the site
at around 10:30 p.m. AT,
but not before passengers
on at least one train from
Halifax had to be bused to
their destination.
Next Wednesday, some
chiefs and activists are
promising a ramped-up
day of protest, with blockades of rail lines and border crossings.
The National Chief of the
Assembly of First Nations,
Shawn Atleo, said Friday's
meeting with the prime
minister had achieved
"some movement" and
that Harper, "for the first
time, provided a clear
mandate for high-level
talks on treaty implementation."
However, other chiefs said
they should have been attending a joint meeting
with both Harper and Gov.
Gen. David Johnston.
Meanwhile, Attawapiskat
Chief Theresa Spence has
vowed to continue her liquid-only diet until she gets
a joint meeting with
Harper and the Governor
General.
"We are deeply disappointed that my efforts to
bring both the Governor
General and prime minister of Canada with our First
Nations leaders has been
compromised with my life,
along with Raymond
Robinson and Jean Sock
lives hang in the balance,"
said Spence in a news release Saturday.
Spence, who hasn't eaten
solid food since Dec. 11,
boycotted Friday's meeting, which involved 21 First
Nations chiefs. But she
later attended a ceremonial meeting with the Governor General at Rideau
Hall. Some chiefs are
pressing Spence to end
her hunger strike, saying
she has made her point
and there's no sense in
jeopardizing her health

Local First Nations also protested on Wednesday 9yh,
of January in Longlac, by closing Highway 11 for approximately 1 hr to partake in a peaceful protest this
was the latest acot of protest in Greenstone in the past
fews weeks as First Nations across the country band
together in support of the Idle no more case
Longlac Taxi Driver Charged with Sexual Assault
LONGLAC, ON – December 30, 2012 at 4:53 am
members of the Greenstone Detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) responded to a call
for assistance in locating
an overdue female subject. Officers located the female shortly after receiving
the call but learned
through their investigation
that she had allegedly
been sexually assaulted
that evening while receiving a taxi cab ride in the
Longlac area.
As a result of the police investigation, the driver of
the taxi cab, Thomas ABERNOT, age 49 years of
Longlac, ON was arrested
and charged with sexual
assault and later released
by way of court order. His
next court appearance is
scheduled to be held on
January 9, 2013 in
Longlac.
Geraldton OPP Detachment is continuing their investigation into the matter.
Anyone with information
pertaining to this investigation is asked to contact the
OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

THE MOST DANGEROUS
CHEMICAL IN THE WORLD
By Arthur Black
I hope you’re sitting
down as you read this.
My intention is not to
cause panic and anguish
in the community, but
you need to know that
we are facing a grave
and immanent danger.
There is an insidious, uncontrolled
substance
running
rampant
through society and nobody’s doing a damned
thing about it.
Potent? This stuff can
turn a Leopard tank into
a mound of rust. Dangerous? It can smash
through cement walls
and devastate entire
towns – even cities.
Harmful to the planet? It
reconfigures entire landscapes, causes acid rain
and is a major contributor to the Greenhouse Effect.
What’s more, this
chemical is everywhere.
In our hospitals, our
schools, our homes –
even ourselves. It’s been
found in the tumors of
terminal cancer patients
and it’s known to be
present in every organ of
our bodies.
Can it kill you? In a variety of ways. In solid
form it’s been known to
cause severe tissue damage. As a gas it can
leave you with third degree burns. Inhaling it as
a liquid will kill you stone
dead in minutes.
Now for the bad news
– we’re all addicted to it.
Can’t live without it. Total
withdrawal will cause
headaches, weight loss,
major organ failure and
ultimately, certain death.
And the name of this
nightmare chemical that
threatens our future and
rules our destiny? Some
call it DHMO – dihydro-
gen monoxide. It’s also
known as hydroxyl acid.
Most folks just call it
water.
It’s a strange, love-hate
relationship we have
with water. In 1779, the
U.S warship known as
Old Ironsides set sail
from Boston carrying
475 officers and men,
7,400
cannonballs,
11,600 pounds of black
powder, 7,000 gallons of
rum and 48,600 gallons
of fresh water. She returned to Boston seven
months later with no
cannon balls, no black
powder, no rum….and
48,000 gallons of stagnant water.
These days? A total sea
change
in
attitude.
Today, in shopping malls
and airport lounges; at
baseball games and bar
mitzvahs you see people
practically welded to
their personal water supply. They’re all clutching
their plastic bottles of
Dasani and Aquafina.
They look like they’re
preparing for a crossing
of the Gobi, but no,
they’re merely ‘keeping
hydrated’, a la the latest
fad. When I was a kid
the only adults who actually carried their own
water supply around
with them were GI’s in
war
movies
and
Humphrey Bogart crawling through the cacti in
Treasure of the Sierra
Madre.
Nowadays,
everybody packs their
own ‘canteen’.
Must have been a bit of
a challenge for the Madison Avenue advertising
buzzards to figure out
how to make so many of
us pay for something we
can get for free. In the
end, they used the same
technique they use to
flog that watery beer that
all tastes the same – they
sold us an image.
Aquafina, for instance,
shows a range of snowcapped mountains on
the bottle’s label, implying that we’re purchasing
water air-lifted from pristine and untouched
streams high in the Rockies. The fine print at the
bottom of the label
reads: “bottled at the
source P.W.S.”
.com
Hmmm. P.W.S. What
could that mean? Pure
Wonderful Stream? Paradisiacal
Welcoming
Sweetness?
Actually, it stands for
Public Water Supply.
Aquafina
(which
is
owned and operated by
Pepsi-Cola by the way) is
trying very hard not to
tell you that what you
are paying for is tap
water.
Which is not to be confused with Smartwater.
Smartwater is a designer
brand of bottled water
that former Friends star
Jennifer Anniston is flogging these days. You
can see the toothy
blonde smiling back at
you in dozens of glossy
magazine ads.
She’s
clutching a plastic bottle
of Smartwater, implying I
suppose, that drinking
that brand will make you
brighter, -- possibly rich,
beautiful and famous to
boot.
Victoria Kaplan disagrees. She speaks for a
movement called Quitting the Bottle’, which is
dedicated to getting rid
of all those plastic bottles, 86 percent of which
wind up in landfill. “Customers are waking up to
the myth of bottled
water, despite celebrity
endorsement,” says Kaplan.
She’s not too keen on
the Smartwater label, either. “I’ll tell you what
smart water is: smart
water is when you walk
to the tap and there is
this wonderful product
that is life fulfilling and
delivered right into the
room we want it in.”
Oh, yeah – tap water.
The stuff we’ve already
paid for. Before companies like Pepsi bottle it
and sell it back to us.

COMMENTARY BY BOB ROTZ
Things In General....
....is what we'll call the first
item this week. Nothing
earth-shaking or even exciting. Just 'stuff'. For starters,
the Ring Of Fire, which really isn't 'on fire' at all these
days. Smouldering at best
I'd say. Oh sure, the odd
reader will have something
to say or ask about RoF goings on, but nothing even
remotely urgent/pressing to
report. And no, we're not
going to say 'stay tuned'
(because things will get
more interesting) as I'm not
so sure RoF things ever will.
Get more interesting that is.
The grapevine is saying
that Longlac Forest Products (LFP) may get going as
soon as April....a mere three
months off. And Nakina Forest Products (NFP) apparently will be into production
before year's end. Given
the Ring Of Smoke situation, they would both be
welcomed back to boost
Greenstone's long suffering
ecomomy.
Gotta get word out here
for Branch #116 Legion
holding it's Election Of Officers for 2013 Saturday Jan
19th at 3:00PM as well as
an Honours and Awards
Presentation. They're hoping for a good turnout and
are hosting a Spaghetti Dinner (with salad, rolls and
dessert) for all members
and the general public at
5:30. Come on out!
Ran into Councillor Jay
last week, the day prior to
him and Karen Routly flying
to Germany to represent
Greenstone at the huge
Tourism/Trade Show in
Stuttgardt. This trip thing has
generated more street
talk....some positive, some
negative....in this vast municipality than anything in
recent memory. Maybe
since the Kinghorn Line debate? Anyway, they are
there and many locals are
being kept up to date with
Jay's regular emails. "F/N"
sees this as a great opportunity for many businesses
in G'stone area, and all the
European exposure for next
to
nothing.
And....PLEASE....do NOT relate the $8000 cost of this
trip to 'seniors wind-row
clearing' as the two items
have nothing to do with
each other. Nothing at all!
You can betcha "From
Nakina" will 're-address' the
wind row thing well before
the snow flies next fall.
Nothing is settled in the
"F/N" JOTY (Jerk Of The
Year) Award for 2013. A
couple
late-in-the-year
nominees have things still
up in the air, and since this
is such a coveted prize, the
judges want to get it right.
The Most Calls....
....and emails by far coming into "F/N"HQ on a nonstop basis these days are
regarding the F/N (First Nations) Idle No More protest.
Or project if you will. Yours
truly doesn't know what ex-
actly it is that First Nations
actually want? A specific
thing or things? Change the
wording in a treaty or
treaties? There has been no
real
indication
from
Theresa Spence, the (fasting) chief who has, by design or by accident, more or
less become the driving
force behind I/N/M, that
SHE has a clear plan of
what F/N want, and what
they don't want. I try to look
at this as open-mindedly as
I can, but it seems she has
had no real plan right from
the get go. Still doesn't as a
matter of fact. Anyway, the
chief
who
was/is
'fasting'.....but not really 'fasting' in the true sense of the
word....gets
her
much
wanted meeting last Friday
in Ottawa. Then, not hearing what she wants to hear,
leaves part way through.
That's not so bad, when
one considers that all or
most chiefs from Ontario
and Manitiba don't even
show up. Methinks that's
called 'boycotting' in Idle
No More terminology, is it
not? But WHY were they
AWOL when the big meeting came? It also occured
to me that I've heard the
term ''divide and conquer''
used by Indian people I've
known for some tyme, yet
their action/inaction last Friday appeared to be 'dividing', albeit not 'conquering',
the I/N/M protest. And it
was completely self-induced. Go figure.
Anyway, let's go back to
what we're hearing and
reading here at "From
Nakina". And where it's
coming from. Well, we've
heard from non-natives

Can't say interest isn't widespread, can you? Here in

must say that it is no more

Mother Nature might have

protests.....usually in the
form of road or highway
'blockades....it has been
said to me by F/N peoples,
that (loosely quoted) "we
don't want to piss off the
public, we want the government's attention on this''.

No

whole Idle No More scene.
Just what the Indians said
they don't want. Wanna bet
MOST Canadians feel the
same way? And SunMedia's

more readers/viewers these
days than any other journalist this side of APTN. Regardless, the next tyme

came up with a plan last
weekend....the day after The
Meeting That Wasn't....that
should solve all of the First
Nations problems. It's a
beaut! You ready for this?
Don't go getting mad at the
phatt guy, it's just a suggestion. Stephen Harper hands
the Keys To Canada over to
Shawn Atleo, National
Chief of First Nation. Lock,
stock and barrell, it's theirs.
No more Indian Affairs. No
more Aboriginal Affairs,
they get the whole kit and
kaboodle. They/F/N will run
the show and, if they so
choose, can send cheques
out monthly to non-native
Canadians. Tit for tat, so to
speak. Also, I'd recommend
Chief Theresa's boyfriend
become their new Minister
of Finance....or whatever
they choose to call the position....because he's obviously done such a stellar
job with Attawapiskat's millions. And I'll offer to take
over whatshisname's old
job, as a Non-F/N Tribe Representative', doing it for
only $400 a day. Less than
half of the reported $850
daily he's raking in! Hell, I'd
even go lower that that if
need be. Best of all, under
the new scenario, formerchief-now-Minister-ofHealth Theresa Spence can
put an end to her 'fast'....no
more weakened and frail
and wasting away to nothing. How about this? Do I
have a plan here or what?

DYING TO ONESELF
Gal 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer
I who live, but Christ lives in me;”
The Bible has a lot to say about dying to ourselves
and living for God, but few Christians have any idea
what it really means. This anonymous poem can help.
When you are forgotten, neglected, or purposely set
at naught, and you don't sting or hurt with the oversight, but your heart is happy being counted worthy
to suffer for Christ;
That is dying to self.
When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes
are crossed, your advice disregarded, your opinion
ridiculed, and you refuse to let anger rise in your
heart or even defend yourself, but take it all in patient,
loving silence;
That is dying to self.
When you lovingly and patiently bear any disorder,
any irregularity, any annoyance; when you can stand
face to face with waste, folly, extravagance, spiritual
insensibility, and endure it as Jesus did;
That is dying to self.
When you are content with any food, and offering,
any raiment, any climate, any society, any solitude,
any interruption by the will of God;
That is dying to self.
When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation or record your own good works or itch after commendation, when you can truly love to be unknown;
That is dying to self.
When you can see your brother prosper and have his
needs met, and can honestly rejoice with him in spirit
and feel no envy, nor question God, while your own
needs are far greater and you are in desperate circumstances;
That is dying to self.
When you can receive correction and reproof from
one of less stature than yourself and can humbly submit, inwardly as well as outwardly, finding no rebellion or resentment rising up within your heart;
That is dying to self
Dying to self is rewarded with life to the fullest!
Until He returns, God Bless!

Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, tell my
brother to divide the family inheritance with me.’ But he
said to him, ‘Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?’ And he said to them, ‘Take care! Be on
your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does
not consist in the abundance of possessions.
Luke 12:13-15
Now that Christmas (and Boxing Day) are finally over,
the bills start coming in. And, as many accountants
would tell you, from now until the end of March is the
most taxing time of the year. This all adds up to desperation. Now, to be honest about it, if we had been more
frugal, if we had used a bit of foresight, we would not
find ourselves in such a stressful financial situation. ¿¿
How to get out of the mess ??
One way, I suppose, would be to attempt a radical
and sudden increase in one's income. Buying lottery
tickets... Playing the horses... Finding a second, third (or
first) job... Hoping for a windfall...
The fellow who wanted Jesus to intervene with that
man's brother in order to get a chunk of the inheritance
seemed to have made a reasonable request. We all
know of someone who has left an estate in such a condition that some received, some did not, and all were
in for many years of hard feelings. But Jesus speaks as
though the man's request was unreasonable. Aside
from the real possibility that even divine intervention
would not cause the brother in question to share, Jesus
makes a very valid point. Greed, in whatever form it
may take, is still greed. The truth of the matter is: “one’s
life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.”
To illustrate that point, Jesus told a story. The stories
Jesus told were often provocative, sometimes humorous, always interesting. This one is no exception.
Then Jesus told them a parable: ‘The land of a rich man
produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, “What
should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?”
Luke 12:16-17
If any of you have ever lived on a farm or in a farming
community you will know that it is not every year that
the land produces abundantly. Some years, the
weather is unsuitable. Other years, there are plagues
of locusts, caterpillars, slugs, etc. And of course there
are years in which the commodity prices are being manipulated by some invisible hand, and even though
there is a bumper crop, the income from it is meagre.
So to have a really good year... why, that doesn't come
along very often. In this particular case, the crop was
so abundant that the farmer lacked sufficient storage.
So this man now has some options. 1. He could distribute the excess to needy neighbours 2. He could throw
a huge party and invite everyone including the needy
neighbours or 3....
Then he said, “I will do this: I will pull down my barns
and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain
and my goods. And I will say to myself, “Self, you have
ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink,
be merry.”
Luke 12:18-19
One would have thought that this would be a nobrainer. Either of option 1 or 2 would be acceptable.
Option 3, the one he chose, simply has no future.
But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life
is being demanded of you. And the things you have
prepared, whose will they be?”
Luke 12:20
Grace and Peace to all of us.

association. It was decided by the members of the Nakina
Sno Club to divide thoses funds between the two remaining operating Clubs in the Greenstone region. Pictured is

Suspect in Mac's robbery
allegedly boasts about crime
on FaceboOK
Posting on Facebook that you’ve just robbed a convenience store isn’t the brightest idea in the world.
But apparently that’s just what one alleged crook did
after a Mac’s Convenience store on Simpson Street was
robbed.
Police, acting on a tip, obtained a search warrant for the
suspect’s residence, seized evidence and asked for an
arrest warrant as the suspect was not at home at the
time.
Nineteen-year-old Travis Jacob Loon turned himself into
police on Sunday morning. He’s been charged with robbery, possession of a prohibited weapon and two counts
of breach of probation.
Loon has been remanded to the district jail after a court
appearance on Monday. None of the allegations have
been proven in a court of llaw.

Restoring Bl ack Bay
Fish Popul ations
Ontario is moving forward with its commitment to restore fish
populations in Lake Superior’s Black Bay. The
province has started an
Environmental Assessment process to consider
the effects of removing
the Camp 43 Dam on
the Black Sturgeon River,
which flows into Black
Bay. The dam currently
blocks the migration of
walleye, sturgeon and
coaster brook trout to historic spawning areas upstream.
The government is also
proposing to install a
new barrier 50 kilometres upstream of the
Camp 43 dam to block
the flow of sea lamprey,
an invasive species that
is currently blocked by
the dam.
OPEN LETTER TO
CONSTITUENTS
ON MP SURGERY
The public will have the
opportunity to review
and comment on dam
and barrier proposals before any final decisions
are made. Open houses
are scheduled for Jan.
10, 2013 in Thunder Bay
and Jan. 17, 2013 in
Nipigon.
“Rehabilitating the native
fish community in Black
Bay could lead to the reestablishment of an enhanced
recreational
fishery, which would
have significant economic and social benefits for the surrounding
communities. As Minister,
I made a commitment to
the recreational fishing
community to move forward with an environmental assessment of
this project. I encourage
those with interests and
concerns to become involved in this important
discussion so we can
make the best decision
on this important fishery."

Bruce Hyer to take temporary hiatus
from full MP duties for required care
THUNDER BAY – Independent Member of Parliament
Bruce Hyer is issuing the following open letter to constituents
in
Thunder
Bay-Superior North:
Dear Constituents,
I work for you, so I want to
share the following.
As you may recall, three
years ago, I received treatments for a cancer, and
they were successful.
After World War II, roughly
one in seven Canadians
could expect to develop
cancer in their lifetime, usually when older. Today, one
out of every two men, and
one out of every three
women, can expect a brush
with cancer, and often at
younger and younger ages.
There are few families that
have not had a close relative who has experienced
cancer.
Recently, I was diagnosed
with a tumour on my
tongue, which will be removed surgically this week
in Ottawa. This will be followed by a period of healing.
The prognosis is good, and
I expect to be back at work
soon, although the doctors
tell me that my speech may
be hindered for a while. Regardless, you will be able to
contact
me
at
bruce@brucehyer.ca as before.
I know that my wonderful
staff will continue to serve
you well, both Vicki and
Shannon in Thunder Bay,
and Andy and Patty in Ottawa.
I look forward to returning
to serving you as soon as
possible.

quested by staff at the
Health Sciences Centre to
fund items that enhance
the exceptional care offered to each patient and
their family.
Family CARE Grants began
in 2009 and grew in 2011
as a partnership was
formed between the Health
Sciences Foundation and
Volunteer
Association.
Thanks to the partnership,
$65,000 was available this
year for ideas brought forward by staff at the Health
Sciences Centre. It’s no
easy task to decide how to
allocate the funds – this
year alone saw over
$109,000 in requests.
Barry Streib, a Family CARE
Grant Committee Member
and Health Sciences Foundation Board Member remarked, “It was a bit
overwhelming to see all the
applications, but once we
had a chance to read
through them, it was inspiring to see how simple
things could make a big difference.”
The Volunteer Association
provides $30,000 to support the popular program.
“We’re delighted to be a
part of the Family CARE
Grants,”
said
Dolores
Mechtab, Volunteer Association Board President. “It’s
encouraging to help raise
the funds and see first-hand
where they are spent.”
Mechtab enjoyed her second year on the Grant
Committee. “It was an eyeopening experience for me
last year. Each applicant
makes a compelling case.
We could have spent the
budget in just a few minutes but did our best to impact as many areas of the
Health Sciences Centre as
possible.”
To ensure that the grants
have a significant impact,
each application requires a
Patient and Family Advisor’s
endorsement along with
that of a Manager and Executive Vice President.
Connor Ferguson, one of
the youngest Patient and
Family Advisors at the
Health Sciences Centre was
excited to help with applications again this year.
Specifically, he endorsed
the grant application for
two new wagons for the
Paediatric inpatient unit; an
option for young patients to
move through the Health
Sciences Centre. “The wagons for Paediatrics make
things a little less scary and
make kids feel special. It really helps when they’re
going for surgery or tests,”
he said. Kathy Macdonald,
Child Life Specialist and recipient of the grant explained, “Offering patients
a choice of how to get to
tests or surgery helps involve them in their care. It’s
very important.”
Since 2009, over 100 Family CARE Grant initiatives
have been funded at the
Health Sciences Centre.
“We’re proud of the care
provided here and thrilled
with the creativity of our
employees in generating
grant ideas” said Andreé
Robichaud, President and
CEO of the Health Sciences
Centre. “The Family CARE
Grants are a wonderful
way to support our Patient
and Family Centred environment and we are grateful to the Health Sciences
Foundation and Volunteer
Association for their ongoing commitment to this program.”
“Donors can be proud of
the investments they are
making in improving care
for all of us,” said Glenn
Craig, President and CEO of
the Health Sciences Foundation. “The Family CARE
grants provide the little
things that make a big difference to patient care.”
Some of the items making
a difference in 2013 thanks
to the 2012 Family CARE
Grants include: a blanket
warmer for Diagnostic Imaging, improving patient
comfort; high-back chairs
for patients and visitors; a
bench outside the main entrance to compliment the
indoor benches provided
by the 2011 Family CARE
Grants; and teaching models for Rehabilitation to use
with patients and families.

Landmark Federal Court Ruling Grants Recognition
to MEtis, Non-Status Indians in Canada
In a landmark ruling, the
Honourable Michael L.
Phelan delivered equality
to over 600,000 of
Canada’s Aboriginal people through its decision in
Daniels v. the Queen. This
historical decision affirmed
the position of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples for the past 41 years
that that Metis and NonStatus are Indians under
subsection 91 (24) of the
Constitution Act, 1867.
“This is an historical step to
end the discrimination and
the denial of Aboriginal
Treaty and birthrights that
has existed for far too long
among Métis and NonStatus Indians,” stated
Congress of Aboriginal
Peoples National Chief,
Betty Ann Lavallee, CD,
(Rtd). “Métis and Non-Status Indians have always
faced the same challenges
as other Aboriginal people
in Canada. With this ruling,
we hope to enter into constructive and practical talks
with the federal government to improve the selfworth, dignity, pride and
human potential of off-reserve Metis and Non-Status Indians.”
Launched over thirteen
years ago, in 1999, by the
late Harry Daniels and the
Congress of Aboriginal
Peoples, the case challenged the federal government’s denial that:
1. Métis and non-status Indians are Indians under
subsection 91(24) of the
Constitution Act, 1867;
2. The Crown owes to
Métis and non-status Indians a fiduciary duty as
Aboriginal peoples; and,
3. Aboriginal people have
a right to be negotiated
with, on a collective
basis, in good faith with
the Crown.
Congress representative
noted that they were
pleased with Judge Phelan’s ruling, which was the
culmination of over 13
years of legal wrangling by
the Department of Justice.
“The federal Department of
Justice tried very hard to
have this case thrown out
in order to stop us from
achieving this important
victory for all Métis and
Non- Status Indians in
Canada,” noted Congress
National Vice -Chief, Ron
Swain. “The reality is that
our position has always
been consistent, in that,
Métis and Non-Status Indians are Indians under subsection 91 (24) of the
Constitution Act, 1867.”
With the court ruling, the
Congress says it is looking
forward and preparing to
work with the federal government on practical solutions
to
improve
off-reserve Aboriginal Peoples lives.
“I am pleased with the decision and the clear message sent by the presiding
judge,” concluded Chief
Lavallee. “It is now time to
do the right thing, and
move beyond these 13
years of legal battles by
accepting this court’s decision, rather than appealing
and spending even more
taxpayer’s money. We are
eager to work with Prime
Minister Harper, who we
already have a good
working relationship with.
I believe, if the Prime Minister were to move towards
discussions and negotiations rather than litigation,
he would then be recog-
nized as the Prime Minister
who had the “courage” to
stop the endless discrimination that Off- Reserve
Aboriginal Peoples have
faced throughout history.”
Since 1971, the Congress
of Aboriginal Peoples (Formerly known as the Native
Council of Canada) has
been the National Representative
Organization
and the National Voice for
the constituency and their
affiliate
organizations
making up the Congress’
family of advocates for the
Off-Reserve, Non-Status
and Status Indians and
Métis Aboriginal Peoples
living in urban, rural remote and isolated areas
throughout Canada.

The Ennis family.
Magdalena (Mary) Rusnak (nee
Najda) passed away peacefully
with her family at her side at the
John Owen Evans Residence of
the Geraldton District Hospital on
January 10th at the age of 104
years. Magdalena was born in
old Roumania (now the Ukraine)
in 1908, and was raised on a
family farm. She immigrated to
Canada in 1928, having traveled
three weeks by ship and train to
Fort William where she was met
by her future husband Nicolai
Rusnak. They were married in
November of 1928 and settled in
Gambsy section of the Canadian
National Railway, moving to Geraldton in 1937 where they raised
their two children Ann and Steve.
Magdalena’s pride and joy was
her huge garden, where she
grew all sorts of vegetables, and
beautiful flowers, which she loved
to enter in the traditional Fall Fair
held annually at the old Curling
Club in Geraldton, winning many
ribbons over the years. She also
enjoyed crocheting, cross-stitch,
needlepoint, and playing bingo
until her eyes and hands made it
no longer possible. She enjoyed
and was very proud of the accomplishments of her children,
four grandchildren and five great
grandchildren.
She will be sadly missed by her
son Steve Rusnak (Anne), her four
grandchildren Karen Saarimaki,
Gary Saarimaki, Steven Rusnak
(Monica), Andrew Rusnak (Shari),
and her five great grandchildren
Brett, Tye, Jarod, Aubrey, and
Korey.
She was predeceased by her husband Nicolai Rusnak in 1976, her
son-in-law Martti Saarimaki in
1986 and her daughter Ann
Saarimaki in 2001.
The funeral ceremony was held at
Fawcett Funeral Home on January 11, at 2 p.m., with Reverend
Hal Graham officiating. The interment was held at Pine Grove
Cemetery. If friends so desire,
memorial donations may be
made to the Geraldton District
Hospital – John Owen Evans Residence. Messages of condolence
may be placed at Fawcett Funeral
Home website at www.rfffh.com.

ORGANIZE YOUR HOME IN ONE
MINUTE, ONE HOUR OR ONE DAY
(NC)—You might not think
you have time to get organized, but if you break down
your tasks into smaller projects, your home can be
clean and clutter-free.
Canadian Tire offers the following organization ideas
that can be done in one
minute, one hour or one
day.
SNEAK HEALTHY
INTO YOUR MEALS
• Remove trash from your
car
for a bigger organization
project.
One Hour:
One Day:
• Store last season's clothes
in bins and totes
• Install a closet organization system like the For Living
Woodfield
Wide
Storage Kit
•
Fold laundry and
put it away in drawers.
One Minute:
• Purge closet of unused
clothes and footwear.
• Throw out old magazines
and newspapers
• Collect outdated toys and
books to store or donate.
• Make your bed
• Re-organize kitchen drawers.
• Hang up clothes
• Clean out the junk drawer
• Re-organize kitchen cabinets
• Research what you need
(NC)—For many families,
keeping kids healthy while
satisfying their ever-changing tastes can seem like an
ongoing battle. However,
with some creativity, parents can accommodate selective eating habits while
still ensuring their children
get the right nutrients at
mealtime.
Sneaking citrus into meals
is a simple way to help support a child's healthy immune system while adding
the natural sweetness that
kids crave. For example,
one 250 mL glass of orange juice is an excellent
source of vitamin C and
other nutrients that can be
easily incorporated into
marinades and sauces for
extra flavour and health
benefits.
“In addition to helping the
body's natural ability to
fight infection, Vitamin C is
important for your child's
healthy growth,” says registered dietitian Lydia Knorr.
“Vitamin C is needed to
form collagen, a protein
that gives structure to
bones and muscles.”
This recipe incorporates
Florida orange juice into a
simple recipe for kids:
Sweet
Sticky
Chicken
Orange
2 cloves garlic, minced
• Clean out and reorganize
the garage using the Mastercraft Steel Shelving Unit
and Homz DuraBILT Totes
• Organize sporting equipment using the Stanley 5
Shelf Storage Unit
• Organize toys in the playroom by using the For Living
Modular
4-Shelf
Storage Cubby
15 mL (1 tbsp) chopped
parsley
10 mL (2 tsp) Italian herb
seasoning
1 mL (1/4 tsp) ground pepper
8 boneless chicken thighs
(about 1 ½ lbs)
10 mL (2 tsp) canola oil
250 mL (1 cup) Florida orange juice
25 mL (2 tbsp) liquid honey
25 mL (2 tbsp) unseasoned
rice vinegar
15 mL (1 tbsp) soy sauce
15 mL (1 tbsp) cornstarch
In bowl, combine garlic,
parsley, Italian herb seasoning and pepper. Add
chicken and oil. Coat
chicken evenly.
Heat skillet over mediumhigh heat and brown
chicken on both sides.
Place in ovenproof dish; set
aside.
In bowl, whisk together orange juice, honey, vinegar,
soy sauce and cornstarch.
Return skillet to mediumhigh heat and add orange
juice mixture and bring to a
simmer, stirring. Pour over
chicken and place in 200 C
(400 F) oven for about 15
minutes or until chicken is
no longer pink.
Makes 4 servings.

HOMEOWNERS
GUIDE TO
SAVING MONEY
THIS JANUARY
With the last of the holiday leftovers eaten, gifts
opened and decorations
packed up, Ontarians are
bracing themselves for
the annual onslaught of
holiday bills.
With waistlines and
budgets
stretched,
there’s no better time of
year to make some simple changes that will help
reduce monthly housing
costs and add value to
your home.
According to Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario
Real
Estate
Association, “January in
particular is a fantastic
time to make some simple and inexpensive
changes that will not only
help line your pockets in
the short term, but will
add to the value of your
home in the long run.”
Abraham’s tips to beating January bills around
the house:
• Fill the gaps – With 40
per cent of home heat
loss in winter due to air
leakage, keep heat in
your home by installing
weather-stripping and
caulking around windows . Also, consider
replacing old windows
with new energy efficient options (look for
the Energy Rating) before next winter.
• Go low-flow – To reduce
water consumption, replace older model
showerheads and toilets with low-flow models – your utility bills and
the earth will thank you!
• Warm up the old-fashioned way – Instead of
cranking up the heat on
cold winter nights, use
flannel sheets (which
are warmer than cotton
sheets) and add down
duvets to stay toasty.
• Unplug electronics and
small appliances –
Computers, cell phone
14
Wednesday, january 16, 2013
chargers, and other
electronics often use
power and radiate heat
even when turned off.
Try plugging items into
a power strip that you
can use as master
switch.
• Save on home insurance – By installing an
alarm system, deadbolt
locks and proper smoke
and carbon monoxide
detectors, you can
lower the cost of your
home insurance and
give yourself some
extra piece of mind.
• Install LED light bulbs –
These bulbs may cost
more initially, but they
have a much longer life
than normal incandescent bulbs and use far
less electricity – LEDs
only use about 2% of
the electricity of incandescents!
• Install a programmable
thermostat – These devices regulate the temperature in your home
automatically, according
to the schedule you set.
When you’re at work,
away, etc. the heat goes
off, easily cutting your
energy bill.
• Rent out unused space
– Do you have extra
room that’s not being
used? Consider renting
it out; or, if you have
adult children living with
you, make sure they are
contributing to monthly
costs.
“Homeowners can benefit hugely by making
these changes and increasingly, buyers are attuned to the importance
of purchasing an efficient
home, so talk to your Realtor about what you can
do to save money now,
while keeping in mind
what may be appealing to
future buyers,” says
Abraham.
