New plant coming to Geraldton
James Kennedy SR,
president of Havilah
Holdings (Thunder Bay)
Corp. a locally owned
company, has just announced it is building a
factory in Greenstone
that will be known as
STEEP BUILDING SYSTEMS
GREENSTONE. The $4
million facility is expected
to be completed by
spring and will add 21full
time jobs to the region’s
economy.
STEEP stands for Structural Thermal Energy Efficient Panels and is a
building
component
used worldwide but
never before released in
Canada. James Kennedy
SR is also President of
Steep Building Systems
Canada, the company
under exclusive license
to manufacture and distribute both the product
and the technology
throughout Canada.
The 12,000 sq ft facility
will manufacturing the
“Greenest” construction
panels available today.
The “Green” panels are
pre-insulated light gauge
steel framing components which is 100% recyclable
and
is
manufactured from inorganic materials thus not
a food source for mold,
mildew, insects and small
rodents. The panels have
a superior R-Value and
can be installed with less
skilled labor than conventional construction
methods.
James Kennedy Sr. the man behind Errington Home Hardware, Steep Canada,
as well as various other businesses within Greenstone
The panels are a structural grade, opposing
double steel framing
members with rigid, fire
retardant Modified Expanded
Polystyrene
Resin (EPS) bonded to the
steel frames, forming a
thermally broken, light
weight composite building component that provides structural framing,
insulation,
sheathing,
and a vapor barrier in
one, fast high-tech step.
The “system” has been
successfully used to provide residential, commercial,
and
industrial
structures in all 50 United
States and in 27 countries for a total of over
60,000 projects around
the world, and has 6 key
Benefits;
• Reduces build time by
up to 80%.
• Surpasses all other wall
systems effective “R”
Values.
• Qualifies for 51 LEED
points.
• R-44 Foundation wall,
R-33, 5.5” Exterior walls
both usually installed in
one day, and ready for
drywall and exterior
covering/coating the
next.
•Prevents the growth of
Mold and Mildew.
•Lowest cost per square
foot in the Canadian
marketplace.
For more than a quarter of a century the STEEP
Building System has
been proven in industrial,
commercial, single and
multifamily residential
projects in the U.S. and

From the tropics of the
Caribbean to the frozen
lands of Siberia, STEEP
Building Systems structures have been able to
meet diverse and specified construction needs
around the world. STEEP
Building Systems Panels
are approved for use in
all climate regions. They
pass the Miami-Dade
Hurricane
standards,
seismic Zone nine in Russia, and European BBA
code #1449. In addition
to being structurally superior, the panels also
meet the Energy Star
standards for environmental
conservation.
They are fire resistant,
pest resistant, and offer
many construction advantages.
With the interest received
to date, plans are already under way to expand the facility to
29,000 sq ft, a total of 3
lines and 55-65 full time
jobs.

LOCAL NEWS
Next Up - Moosecal ac 201 3
I’m so thankful we survived the end of the world
on December 21. I’m not
sure they play hockey in
the next world. Thankfully
we don’t have to find out
and Moosecalac 2013 is
around the corner. As always it’s on the Family
Day Weekend; Feb. 14 –
17. The committee has
been meeting since early
December just getting
things started. The heavy
lifting starts now as there
is less than a month to go.
The hockey tournament is
full and bursting at the
seams. We originally said
we would reduce to 26
teams. Due to the amaz-
ing amount of interest we
expanded to 30 and are
now full. Our schedule is
not complete but you can
rest assured that all your
favorite activities will be
back, including the French
Canadian Supper, Seniors
Pancake Breakfast, Junior
Curling Bonspiel, and SnoClub Spaghetti Supper.
Stay tuned for the complete schedule in a couple of weeks.
On the hockey front, I
started the year with a little concern about my annual
ramblings
and
musings. Like any “journalist” (and I use that term
loosely), I am always on
the hunt for good information. Of course in my
case when I can’t find
anything factual to talk
about, I just make it up. In
other years, when I was in
a slump for some juicy
news, I would just have to
talk to my old buddy’s
Clutch or John Abernot. To
my dismay Clutch is on
the shelf with a knee injury and John Abernot
moved out of town (although John’s performance at the Men’s
bonspiel has provided me
with enough information
for the next few weeks). I
was in a real bind for
some useless information
and then along came my
old friend Curtis Forbes.
Most people are aware
that when you get older
you tend to over emphasize the importance of
your accomplishments in
order to look a little “better, faster, and stronger” to
loved ones. It happens to

the best of us. In what can
only be described as delusional, Curtis has proudly
created a unique award
in Greenstone called the
Greenstone “Tiger” Slam
and claims to be the first
winner. What is the
Greenstone “Tiger” Slam
you ask? According to
Curtis, in 2012 he was a
member
of
winning
teams at Moosecalac, the
Easter Tournament in Geraldton, and the “30 and
over” this past November.
People from this area
have won the Memorial
Cup, Telus Cup, Centennial Cup, and Air Canada
Cup and God knows what
else but no one but Curtis
can say they won the
Greenstone “Tiger” Slam.
Thank god we got Trevor
on our team, I’m not sure
Curtis’ head will fit through
the dressing room door
after word of this accomplishment gets out.
On another note, the annual jostling for divisions
has already begun. Former standout defensemen Sidney Abraham Jr.
has entered his team
again this year. He claims
to have a solid “C” Division team. After some discussion it was agreed to
let them play in the “C”
however there were some
strict conditions attached.
Mr. Abraham was in-
formed that if notable
“has
beens”
Marc
Bouchard and Jesse
Nadon were going to
play, the committee, for
the first time in Moosecalac history, would be
forced to create a “D Division” as these guys, unlike
Greenstone Tiger Slam
winner Curtis Forbes, are
definitely past their prime.
In other news, there are
big changes in store for
the Newfie Bullets and
Flabby Frenchmen. Both
teams are on the hunt for
new General Managers
as their former bosses
(Victor and Mikko) have
slimmed
down
and
bolted to the “B Division”
(refer to previous comments about delusional).
To compensate, the Bullets are discussing a
merger
with
Darren
Tucker’s
“Bubblicious”
team. Negotiations are in
the early stages but it has
been rumoured that the
new team name under
consideration is the “Newfie Bubbles”.
That’s it for this week. The
committee is up and running and we’ll have regular updates in the
Times-Star and on the
website. Just Google
“Moosecalac” you’ll find
us.

WEAPONS OF MASS MIND & BODY
ESTHETICS
DISTRACTION
By: Shelley Cormier
By Arthur Black
You are sitting at a
table -- sweating, distracted and more than a
little edgy -- in a slightly
skungy downtown San
Francisco lounge called
Jones. You are with a
gaggle of people you've
never met before. You
are not here for the
cocktails or the floor
show or to listen to
stand-up
comedian
hopefuls. You are here
for the same reason the
others are and none of
you is laughing or bantering or looking very
happy. In fact you're
probably wringing your
hands and looking at
your shoes right now.
You are there because
of one simple, ugly truth:
you are an addict, a
junkie and you are finally ready to acknowledge that you need
help. And when your
turn comes to speak you
hope you will have the
courage to stand up and
say in a clear, loud
voice:
“Hi, everybody. My
name is Art and I am
a.....a...
A nomophobic”
Relax, buddy. Everybody at the club tonight
is wallowing in exactly
the same leaky boat.
They are here because,
like you, they are addicted – wired, actually –
and they're finally ready
to admit that their addiction is wrecking their
lives.
That's what this get-together is all about. It's
billed as a Device-Free
Drinks event. The idea is
to teach people how to
survive without a WMD
in their pocket or purse.
That doesn't stand for
Weapon of Mass Destruction; it stands for
Wireless Mobile Device.
These people are going
to attempt to spend the
next few hours separated from their IPhones,
IPads, ITouches, BlackBerrys, Androids, smart
phones or other digital
leg iron of choice.
Sounds absurd but it's
real enough. An estimated 13 million Brits
suffer from 'nomophobia' – the fear of being
separated from their
mobile phone device.
It's even worse on this
side of the Atlantic. The
average American mobile user is on line 122
more hours per year
than the average Brit.
(That's the best part of a
week wasted staring at a
little box in your hands.)
A bad habit for sure –
but an addiction? Absolutely, according to
the experts. A report in a
recent
issue
of
Newsweek magazine
claims that overindulgence in cell phone use,
not to mention texting,
tweeting and web surfing, can quite literally
rewire human brain circuits.
Brain scans of
adults deemed nomophobic – which is to say
people who use their
devices more than 38
hours a week -- display
symptoms that are eerily
similar to those found in
the brains of cocaine
addicts and hard-core
alcoholics. Those symptoms range from serious
anxiety to clinical depression -- even rage or
acute psychosis.
This particular DeviceFree Drinks get-together
at the lounge has attracted about 250 digital
junkies and they are offered a variety of diversionary pastimes to help
wean them from their
toys. There's a glass jar
labelled Digital Detalks
that's full of strips of
paper, each one bearing a slightly-off-the-wall
conversational opener,
such as “What's the best
sound effect you can
make?” and “What does
.com
your grandmother smell
like?” The idea is to derail your digital brain
and re-wire it to think
outside the WMD box.
To help in the weaning
process there are a half
dozen twentieth century
digital devices available.
Typewriters by SmithCorona.
The manual
kind.
Does it work? One participant says if you can
make it through the first
20 minutes without running back to reclaim
your checked-in cell
phone or IPad, then
you've got a chance of
reclaiming your life.
But really, it's too early
to tell.
Will there be more Digital Detox gatherings like
this one in the lounge?
You can count on it.
Might even be one near
you.
If and when it happens, you know how
you’re going to find out
about it, right?
Somebody’s bound to
post it on Facebook.

COMMENTARY BY BOB ROTZ
We Can't Hold Off....
....any longer on naming
the "From Nakina" Jerk Of
The Year Award Winner for
2012. Pressure from the
readership has had the
JOTY judging panel scrambling for the past few weeks
to hand out the almost annual, hard-fought-for trophy. But this year some 'late
entries' have really played
havoc with the selection
process. Seems the competition to be the winner is
getting more intense as the
years go by. To do a short
review as to how things got
so bunged up for 2012 I
guess we need to do a little
re-wind. There had been
few 'standouts' in the first
six months of this year's
contest, but then, and not
necessarily in chronological order, we had several
strong nominees jumping
into the running, including
various Remembrance Day
protesters and some 'serious' vandalism damage to
a number of memorials
throughout Southern Ontario. 'Serious' contenders
for sure.
Of course, by that tyme
the greedy and greedier
bunch
of
potential/wannabe jerks
that collectively form the
NHL and/or the NHLPA,
were already a month or
more into their strike/walkout/lockout/shutdown of
Canada's national game.
And, as "F/N" readers....and
everybody else from coast
to coast....are well aware,
they didn't get the mess
sorted out and return to the
ice until last weekend. For a
shortened 48-game schedule. "F/N" has heard nary a
word about Messrs. Gary
Bettman or Donald Fehr
being fired by either
group....or 'camps' as the
media called them....so the
fact both of these 'gentlemen' are still employed
means these JOTY nominees are still in the running.
As an aside here, The Leafs
of Toronto almost nabbed
a separate JOTY nomination in the Team Category.
Last week, as virtually EVERY
other NHL team on both
sides of the border were
bending over backwards in
order to do the 'please forgive us thing' with their
long-suffering fans....like $7
dollar seats; free this and
free that; 50% off your
favourite team's jackets,
sweaters, hats, etc....the
Leafs had announced
nothing at all. Zippo.
Oh....not to forget....they DID
allow fans in free to watch
them practice last week.
Like, do the faithful normally have to pay for that?
Cough up your hardearned dough to watch a
Leafs practice?? Whoah!
Anyway, the team was
pretty much 'shamed' into
dangling a carrot in front of
their adoring hordes. Bottom line is that Leaf fans
are
so
brow-beaten
(dumb?) they will fill the
ACC game in, game out.
Been doing if for decades,
right Al? So, with MLSE
(Leafs owners) waving the
proverbial olive branch,
JOTY judges rescinded their
award nomination.
I guess before we go any
further we better give credit
where credit is due. To the
guy who's been leading
this hard fought competition for months and yet still
has a 'foothold' on 1st
Place. T.O.'s not-fired-yet
mayor Rob Ford. One
down, one to go for the Big
Guy, who has been riding a
mammoth 'high' since GTA
Council finally passed their
(what Ford called 'historic')
2013 Budget last week. He
was absolutely gushing
and close to overcome with
joy on CTV news clips last
Friday....to the point yours
truly feared he just might
explode! That being said,
I'm wondering just how low
the low is gonna be IF his
appeal (over his football
foundation fundraising efforts and 'conflict of interest'
charges) to retain the gavel
gets shot down by the three
judges who will decide his
fate. It would be anything
but a smooth landing. As to
the JOTY, when one has a
'foothold' on 1st, and one is
as imposing a figure as Rob
Ford is, one is gonna be
pretty hard to dislodge.
But just hold on to your
britches there for a minute.
If there is a 'dark horse'
entry in this year's contest, it
could well be The Ikea
Monkey.....the cute little fellah wearing the designer
winter coat in an Ikea Store
parking lot on all TV news
clips across Canada. Likely
world-wide. Although to be
more precise, the actual
entry would have to be the
monkey's 'mother', T.O.
lawyer Yasmin Nakhuda as
JOTY rules have always
stated 'No Animal Entries'.
As previously mentioned
here, we've called her the
'mother' because she refers
to the monkey as her 'son'.

'mom'
is....like
mayor
Ford....waiting on an appeal, as the 'son' was taken
from her care by the SPCA.
Or perhaps it was the
CA....Children's Aid. And
now, the whole country....indeed
the
entire
world....awaits word on
Ikea's fate. I can see a book
and/or movie coming out
of this thing....perhaps involving Steven King and
Steven Spielberg.
Well, last week....even as
the judges panel was huddling
to
name
the
winner...someone comes
along and upsets the
apple-cart. I mean, suddenly we've got apples
rolling all over "F/N"HQ.

Armstrong rolls in on his

hockey players and owners
all over the place, nearly
running over Ikea The Monkey, and smashing almost
full-speed right into Hogtown's mayor! Hard to miss
a 'target' that big, and
Lance didn't. Hey, you're
gonna get into the contest,
might as well go after the
one that's in 1st place,
right? So, what did the former King Of Bike Racing,
the undisputed hero of heroes, and all-round good
guy do to grab the Jerk Of

The Year Crown? He lied.
Then he lied some more.
And then he kept on lieing.
To the entire world. He
threatened countless people who said has was NOT
clean. And though he
raised a lot of money for
cancer research, he 'used'
his cancer as a shield to lie
even more. He's now gone
from 'The Best' to 'Bicyclist
Tres Ordinaire' and joins
the not-so-elite group that
includes Ben Johnson,
Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa,
Rocket Roger, etc. And after
his sorry-ass 'Lance tells all'
interview appearance with
Oprah last week, his main
defence seems to be that
(loosely quoted) 'all the rest
of the bike racing world is
juiced too'. No, Lance...they
aren't. And (again loosely
quoted) he ''HAD to keep
the playing field even''.
Sorry, but yours truly doesn't detect much of an
apologetic tone in what
Armstrong said. Hey....even
if there was, he's still the
thumbs down "F/N" JOTY
Award winner for 2012.
And very deservingly so.
Good job, Lance.

DRAW NEAR TO GOD
Luke 15:11-20
11 “Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.
12 "And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father,
give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he
divided to them his livelihood.
13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered
all together, journeyed to a far country, and there
wasted his possessions with prodigal living.
14 "But when he had spent all, there arose a severe
famine in that land, and he began to be in want.
15 "Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that
country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 "And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the
pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
17 "But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of
my father's hired servants have bread enough and to
spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 'I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him,
"Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
Make me like one of your hired servants."'
20 "And he arose and came to his father. But when he
was still a great way off, his father saw him and had
compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed
him.”
I have often heard it said, “Sometimes I feel as though
God is not with me.””
Sometimes we feel this way because in fact God may
be a distance away from us at that time.
In today’s scripture we see that when the child decided
to make an effort to be with his father, then his father ran
to meet him.
It is the same today with our heavenly Father. When we
make an effort to seek Him, then He shows Himself to us
in a mighty way.
In the bible we see this principle over and over again.
We need to take the time to draw near to our Father, as
the child in the parable did to his father.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”(James
4:8)

If any think they are religious, and do not bridle

is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled

and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself
James 1:26-27
unstained by the world.
I am just back from Central America, specifically, that little
country called El Salvador. I went to accompany two directors from the Montreal company that is funding the
food security project for two groups of small farmers (1.5
acres each) on the western side of the country. The projects are being carried out with the assistance of two different Baptist congregations, and the former General
Secretary of the Baptist Federation who is an agronomist
by profession.
It was a very interesting trip. The first church, Miguel Portillo
Baptist in Metapan (named for a young minister murdered
by the military during the civil war), has no building and
no worship services. The pastor, Ramon Ramirez, makes
no apologies. He argues that if you want those things
there are thousands of churches in El Salvador that offer
them. What Miguel Portillo church is about is “helping the
poor to receive good news- sight for the blind, hearing for
the deaf, food for the hungry, dignity for everyone” in their
version of imitating the ministry of Jesus.
Ramon's 'congregation' is composed of middle class
Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, and at least one professed agnostic, in all about a dozen persons plus a few
children. Some worship in their own churches. Some do
not. But all are convinced that Jesus was and is about life,
right here, and right now. Once a month or so, they get together for a meal, some wine, some radical hymns and
songs- a celebration of God's love put into practice.
The results of Miguel Portillo Baptist's ministry are many.
Children from the poorest area are being educated.
Women are organising to demand better conditions for
their families. Small farmers are learning how to grow heritage seeds so they will not have to borrow money to plant
next year's crops.
John (the Baptist) summoned two of his disciples
and sent them to the Lord to ask, ‘Are you the one
who is to come, or are we to wait for another?’
When the men had come to him, they said, ‘John
the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, “Are you the
one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?”
Jesus had just then cured many people of
diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and had given
sight to many who were blind. And he answered
them, ‘Go and tell John what you have seen and
heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead
are raised, the poor have good news brought to
them. And blessed is anyone who takes no
Luke 7:18b-23
offence at me.’
The second congregation, Compassionate God Baptist in
Ahuachapan, is a church intentionally of the poor and for
the poorer still. This congregation worships every Sunday
and has studies through the week. The church building,
however, is also a classroom for literacy, a bakery, and a
daycare for the children of women working in the nearby
market. Pastor Felix Lino leads a lively flock of 100.
Besides the main location, Compassionate God also has
a clinic building that is used for public health campaigns,
and which has a large yard that the youth have turned
into a produce garden in order to help feed senior citizens
living under very difficult circumstances.
A few miles north of the clinic are the fields for food security program. The land is very rich. This year, with careful
management encouraged by the project leaders, it produced abundantly. There are plenty of bags of seed for
next year's planting. Composting and the preparation of
organic pesticides are underway. The farmers are from
several different churches. They all decided together, however, to share their bountiful harvest with the “indigents”
(the drug addicts and alcoholics) who beg near the town
square.
As we listened to these simple folk telling us about their
harvest, the Montreal directors and this old minister found
it difficult to maintain our composure. Tears of joy and
wonder welled up in our eyes. And God-in-Christ-in-us became real once again. The project reports and pictures are

ÉCOLE ST-JOSEPH SUPPORTS JUNIOR SKI PROGRAM
L’ÉCOLE ST-JOSEPH APPUIE LE «JUNIOR SKI PROGRAM »
La saison hivernale 2013
sera mémorable pour les
élèves de l’École St-Joseph.
Grâce à un partenariat
avec le Geraldton Nordic
Ski Club, à la subvention de
Communauté en santé, à
la Municipalité de Greenstone et à divers dons
communautaires,
les
élèves de la 3e à la 8e
année auront l’occasion de
profiter de ce sport populaire dans le cadre du pro-
gramme
d’éducation
physique. Ce partenariat
encouragera les jeunes de
l’école et de la communauté à être actifs aujourd’hui et pendant les
années futures.
The winter season of
2012/13 will be one to remember for students at
École St-Joseph. Working in
conjunction with the Ger-
aldton Nordic Ski Club the
school has began to establish a Junior Ski Program for
students ages 4 - 13. The financial support of the
Healthy Communities Fund
and through local donations the school was able to
obtain 35 sets of crosscountry ski packages (skis,
boots and poles) and purchase a large ski cabinet.
Incorporating this activity
into the physical education
programming at the school
will allow students to experience the sport of skiing
while having access to
proper and safe equipment
and a hazard free area to
practice. The fundamentals
of skiing will be promoted
to the students through clinics and a Learn to Ski Day.
Injury Prevention is also
part of the program. Teaching skills as it relates to trail
safety, proper stretching
and technique to reduce
risk of injury will be a primary focus. The school will
work towards developing a
ski program designed for
several age groups while
promoting the importance
of maintaining a healthy
lifestyle through physical
activity and healthy food
choices. Food choices will
be promoted through lesson material and provision
of healthy snacks; establish
daily eating habits in the
school; provide nutritional
food sources and illustrate
the benefits of good eating
habits. The Geraldton
Nordic Ski Club will contribute to the program by
providing teachers and parents with the guidance of a
Certified Coach to teach
students about trail safety,
proper warm up and ski
techniques as well as injury
prevention. The Geraldton
Nordic Ski Club’s Junior Ski
Program is envisioned as a
long term benefit for the
Greenstone Area. Partnership between École StJoseph, the Geraldton
Nordic Ski Club and the
Municipality of Greenstone
will provide an excellent
opportunity for affordable
youth participation in this
outdoor physical activity for
today, tomorrow and future
years to come. The positive
support of the Junior Program, shown by parents,
teachers and businesses is
what will allow this endeavor to move forward.

Two local scientists were featured on Dragon's Den to
showcase their product that can store all your personal
information.
CG Labs is a DNA Extraction company. It extracts, stores,
purifies, markets and sells DNA.
The pair did an in studio demo to showcase the products.
They say customers would use the product to preserve
their genetic makeup and create unique momentos. Six
different funeral homes have already signed up for the
service, and in three weeks of business the company has
made $2,100 in sales.
At the end of the day, the dragons turned down the offer.
Some found the product a little too morbid, others
thought the pitch came too soon.
The pair from Thunder Bay were offered the chance to
return to the show in a few months.

Benefits of
Weight Training
Fit Note #28
Weight training is great for
you. Your body thrives on
being challenged. When
you challenge yourself,
your body responds to the
stress by adapting to overcome the challenge. Going
to your limits you increase
your limits; it would be
great if spending money
worked like that. Keeping
yourself in "top form" with
fitness training minimizes
medical costs by reducing
workplace injuries, ensuring
your immune system is
functioning at its best, diminishing the effects of osteoporosis (by stimulating
increased bone mineral
density), lowering the risk of
developing type 2 diabetes,
increasing your daily energy level, and more.
Weight training properly
will enhance any aspect of
physical fitness. Physical
skills (speed, power, reaction time, balance, coordination, agility) become
finely tuned with the practice of performing physical
tasks. Skillful use of your
body progresses much like
learning to write. Weight
training develops the mindbody connection which enables you to synchronize
your efforts and use your
body better. Overall health
increases as your body responds: to running by increasing your body's ability
to use oxygen and create
energy more efficiently, to
exercise by delaying fatigue, to heavy lifting by
creating the strength to lift
heavier after rest , to
stretching by becoming
more flexible, and to activity
by burning calories for energy and reducing fat.
Only training with a personal trainer can teach
how to use your body to its
fullest potential. Proper
movement prevents joint
injuries that affect your
knees, shoulders, back, and
muscle tension that creates
muscle
soreness
and
aches. Being fit empowers
everybody to live more independently, as seen when
being able to shovel snow,
mow the lawn, or complete
household tasks.
To look good you must feel
good; being healthy feels
grand. "Lose weight, tone
up, get big muscles, run a
marathon," all great reasons to improve your
health, and they are all attainable goals. Training is
an activity fitness enthusiasts enjoy for the widespread benefits of living
their fullest life. Live your
healthiest, give yourself additional years of active living, and enjoy being
healthy and fit while having
fun. Bring a friend with you.
Having a comrade makes
the journey of fitness even
more fun. Way more.
Sincerely, Lloyd Valley
C.E.O. Stretch & Flex Fitness

Informative
Barrett/Hudak announce PATHS TO PROSPERITY:
WELFARE TO WORK
A year of meetings, roundtables and input across Ontario has led to the latest Opposition white paper to mend a costly, inefficient social welfare system and give all recipients a shot at the pride that accompanies employment.
That according to Opposition Critic for Social Services, MPP Toby Barrett following the
launch of, Paths to Prosperity: Welfare to Work, the eighth in a series from Opposition
Leader Tim Hudak focused on building a leaner, more focused government and creating jobs.
Accepting Nominations for
the 16th Annual
Influential Women of
Northern Ontario awards
“Today we’ve announced 12 new bold ideas to transform a system that is failing both
social service recipients and taxpayers alike,” Barrett indicated. “I hope these ideas will
help spark an informed and overdue public debate about how best to help people
on social assistance break free from dependency and into a life of rewarding, fulfilling
work.”
The Haldimand-Norfolk MPP says as a start the white paper is proposing to integrate
the current welfare and disability programs at the municipal/First Nations level while
cutting red tape that stands in the way of people’s self-worth, dignity and independence. He added that both Don Drummond’s report on the public service and the social
services report of Frances Lankin and Munir Sheikh identified integration as key to a
more efficient and effective system.
“Through creating a new seamless, cost effective program focused on employment,
we propose cutting the current 800 rules and regulations in half for an estimated $140
million cost savings,” Barrett explained. “At the same time we propose expanding employment support opportunities currently only accessible by welfare recipients to those
disabled who can work.”
The white paper proposes to recognize, and reward through tax policy, those employers who take extra measures to hire people with disabilities. The white paper further
prioritizes funding for community college programs that make post-secondary education more accessible to people with disabilities.
“We have more than half a million unemployed and a huge pool of talent going to
waste on welfare,” Hudak said, adding that the answer, “is to help people rebuild their
lives, develop skills and break free from poverty to jobs, charity or public service work
– all through a more affordable government.”
To view online, go to Paths to Prosperity: Welfare to Work at www.ontariopc.com/paths
Do you or someone you know deserve public praise for
your/her business acumen, career success, professional
drive and contribution to the community? Consider submitting a nomination for the prestigious 2013 Influential
Women Award.
Six women will be honoured at two separate events this
coming June. Three recipients from northwestern Ontario
will be recognized at the first awards luncheon, to be
held in Thunder Bay at the Valhalla Inn on June 3, 2013.
In Sudbury, on June 6th three recipients from northeastern Ontario will be similarly honoured at the second celebratory luncheon, to be held at the Radisson Hotel. The
awards categories include Executive, Entrepreneur, and
Young Entrepreneur of the Year. The deadline for IW
nominations is February 22, 2013.
Additionally, one Grade 12 student from Northern Ontario will be awarded a $2,000 Aspiring Achiever Essay
Scholarship. Essay submissions are due March 18, 2013.
The nomination packages with eligibility and criteria are
online at www.influentialwomen.ca.The selection of
award recipients is made by an independent panel of
judges, and winners will be invited to celebrations in their
respective areas. Combined attendance is anticipated to
exceed 800.
“It is estimated that women will start half of Canada’s
new companies,” says Northern Ontario Business publisher Patricia Mills. “We need innovators, mentors and
risk-takers,” she adds. “We also need to acknowledge
those women who do venture into the world of business
and economic development, and we need to encourage
more to follow.”
The Influential Women of Northern Ontario program was
launched in 1997 in order to seek out, honour and profile women in Northern Ontario who contribute to the
North’s economic success and expansion. Over 100 influential women have been recognized since the program’s inception. The roster of award winners continues
to grow.
