The fourth annual Dryden Ball Diamonds Commuter (DBDC) Winterball Tournament was held in Oxdrift on March 1. Despite the frigid -29˚ temperatures, players of all ages and skill levels came together in the freshly snow plowed fields for a day of outdoor fun. Winners from this years tournament included from the A-side, ‘Team Hoover ’ from Dryden, and from the B-side, team ‘I Don’t Know’ from Sioux Lookout. All proceeds will be split between the Gillon’s Stealers ladies fastball team and the DBDC for their fundraising efforts towards building a brand new enclosed play structure at the Sandy Beach Ball Diamond Complex.

A province-wide program which keeps tabs on snow depths in the Dryden area has found 2013/14 to be a record snow year in the program’s 60-plus years of data. One of 40 stations across Ontario, Snow Network for Ontario Wildlife (SNOW) compiles weekly data throughout the winter months on snow depth, compaction and temperature factors on a study site just east of Aaron Park. Twenty weeks into a winter that will be talked about for generations, Dryden is showing an average snow depth of 88.3cm (34.8in)— about a foot more than the average (54.1 cm). The Ministry of Natural Resource’s Michelle Nowak says some comparable winters have been 1966/67 (Week 20) with an average depth of 81cm (31.9 in),
1991/92 with an average depth of 79 cm (31.1in) and 1995/96 with an average depth of 80.6cm (31.7in). On the other side, Nowak adds some of the mildest local winters in terms of snow depth at this time of year were: 1980/81 with an average depth of just 22cm (8.7in) and 1997/98 with an average of 28cm (11in). An average Dryden winter would show 54.1 cm (21.3 inches) on the ground at week 20. The SNOW program tests a number of variables that affect how wildlife like deer and wolves cope with winter severity. One significant factor is density/compaction, which any amateur snowshoer who has broken trail this season, will surely agree is an underdeveloped side of the snowpack. “For the most part the COntinued On Pg. 3

Superior North MPP Michael Gravelle is looking for more from the federal government to spark development of the Ring Of Fire. Gravelle says he was pleased to see that the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) calls on the federal government to take a more active role in the Ring of Fire in its ‘Beneath the Surface’ Report. Gravelle points to the federal government’s new Building Canada Fund, which he says allocates $2.4 billion to developing infrastructure in Ontario over the next ten years, but adds they were hoping for more. “What the OCC and provincial government is saying is this project (the Ring of Fire) on its own should fully engage the federal government. It shouldn’t be a question of negotiating through various federal government funds or programs.”
The Building Canada Fund is a place to start however and Gravelle says they will certainly be talking to the federal government in more detail but looks to past examples to bring support to the North. “When one looks at how the federal government has approached other major resource development projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, or British Columbia or the Alberta oil sands, they become extremely, extremely engaged in that and that’s certainly what we’re expecting the federal government to do. So I am certainly calling on the federal government to become a full partner with the province.” A full partnership will be needed to overcome the infrastructure deficit in the area according to the OCC’s report which sites addressing the physical infrastructure deficit as the first step in its 13 step action plan for development, making the COntinued On PAge 3

OPP: shoveling scam artists gained access to homes Submitted The Kenora Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is currently investigating a report of a male and female in Kenora using roof shoveling as a way to commit property crimes. The couple attended offering services of snow shoveling then asked the homeowner to use the bathroom in the residence. After the couple left the residence, the homeowner later noted valuables missing from the bathroom. The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-222-8477 or the Kenora OPP 807-548-5534.
The Ontario Provincial Police would like to remind the public to exercise caution with strangers at your door. • Don’t unlock your door or invite strangers into your residence, talk through a locked door. • Verify identification of visitors, sales and service people. Check with the company to see if they sent a representative. Legitimate businesses will not have a problem verifying the information. • Should a stranger request to use your phone, do not allow the person to enter your home.

In addition to the provincial and federal governments, the OCC’s ‘Beneath the Surface’ report lists the major players as Noront Resources, Cliff ’s Natural Resources, KWG Resources, MacDonald Mines, Bold Ventures and of course the First Nations communities in the far north. An analysis within the report shows that in the first ten years of its development, the Ring of Fire will generate and sustain up to 5,500 jobs annually, as well as contribute significantly to Ontario’s economy by generating up to $9.4 billion in Gross Domestic Product, up to $6.2 billion for Ontario’s mining industry and nearly $2 billion in government revenue to be divided between the federal, provincial and municipal governments.

Continued from pg. 1 Ring of Fire a national priority was number 12. Among the others were energy costs, labour market needs, environmental safeguards, creating awareness and addressing aboriginal community needs, which Gravelle says is “absolutely vital” especially when considering which access route is best. “It certainly is about access to where minerals within the Ring of Fire are located, but there’s no doubt that we need to be able to also provide access to First Nation’s communities. I think that’s something that everyone agrees is certainly not just an opportunity we can’t let go by, but its going to be a vital part of what will inform our decisions and the decisions of the development corporation, and that certainly includes the opportunity to get a number of first nations communities off diesel and onto the hydro grid.” With other proposed transportation routes in the mix, Gravelle says it was pertinent to put togeth-

Grades 7 and Rec Centre fees need a rethink 8 too young for high school setting To the editor: Would you please publish the underlying real reason(s) to incorporate Grades 7 and 8 into Dryden High School which seems to be something that will be done no matter what. I find it ludicrous to think that 12 and 13 year olds (Grades 7 and 8) would benefit from being acclimatized to high school at this stage in either their academic or personal lives. Furthermore, how this would be accomplished if they were to have classrooms segregated on one floor with separate washrooms, different hallway times, recess times, etc. The idea that there would be technological courses available such as shop, home economics, cosmetology, etc would mean less academic time when so many do not seem to have grasped the core academic subjects well, English as a written subject seems to have “gone by the boards”. Are students taught, made to use and practice correct punctuation, paragraphing let alone use correct spoken English? Not to mention the difficulties with mathematics; the teaching methods of which seem to be undergoing a “rethink” in many provinces. What might some of these students be giving up and for what? In my opinion: •They would be forced into a more mature situation when children aren’t allowed to be children long enough as it is. •These young students would most likely be more exposed to the harm of drugs and bullying in the larger school population even though “segregated”. • What would replace their recess playgrounds – a bare football field? • Personal and leadership skill development which they get in their current school situation would be limited or possibly curtailed. • Would there be enough gymnasium space available for their current needs? • Would there be the availability to participate in sports and interschool tournaments such as at present? • Is there enough music room time available to continue the Fine Arts program run at Open Roads? I could go on and on so would appreciate a public response as to why the KPDSB feels it must move Grades 7 and 8 to the high school in Dryden as has been done in Kenora.
To the editor: I’ve recently seen in the news that the fee for the pool, is going up, again. While I understand that the cost to run things is up, you need to understand the cost of living life altogether is up, so I try to make every dollar count. Unfortunately, the fee for visiting the recreation centre at the moment is almost unreachable. If I go to the pool at 7 p.m. for evening laps, you know that the people working there want to leave at 8 p.m. when the pool closes, which means I have to get out of the pool by 7:45 to rinse off, dress in street clothes and get out. In the winter, removing your coat, scarf, extra layers and boots, takes

about 10 minutes when I get there, that leaves me with 30 minutes to swim — at 23 cents a minute. Why don’t I go earlier you ask? It’s the only option I have between working all day and navigating the pool’s schedule of classes. I am hardly getting my money’s worth for such a short time frame. These are small examples of exactly what your problem is with your membership fees. I only want to use the pool, I am not interested in the gym. Like most other people, I work during the day when your available pool time is offered, so a membership for 30 minutes a day/let’s
say five days a week (working around your schedule for days that don’t allow me in the pool) = not worth my money. I would love to see a cheaper, pool-only membership offered, the people that you have to check in at the desk with can verify such membership, I believe I saw a swipe card thing at the stairs to go to the gym, or one could be installed so that the pool only membership was not abused by sneaking into the gym. I would like to see a “half rate” for going for an evening swim. I understand $7.00 for the day, as we are told keep your receipts and you can come back later, but $7.00 for 30 minutes?
We have tried it your way for years. The price has continued to rise and the interest has continued to dwindle, not because we don’t want to go, but because it is just far too expensive. There is not much left to do in this town these days, and wouldn’t it be nice to give the public a chance to use the facilities that have taken a lot of money over the years then just force it to shut down from overpriced fees that no one can afford? Please listen to your public/customers and give this a chance. Your way has not proven successful thus far, so what have you got to lose? Jenn Armstrong Dryden
Chuck Wintle Chuck Wintle was a big and powerful man forty years ago. He worked hard for his family as a millwright and on their farm. He had huge strong hands. Chuck had a special way of communicating important messages to teenage boys, not just his sons Terry and Brian, but to others who hung around with them. He would put his hand on your shoulder, kind of friendly, then clamp his giant paw onto the muscle by your neck. Once he had a grip on you there was no escape, the best thing to do was look at his face and let him know you were paying attention, even if there were tears in your eyes. I was careful to stay out of his reach if I thought he might have a message for me. Raising four beautiful daughters, I’m sure he had more important messages for other teenage horndogs over the years. In 1979 or ‘80 Chuck was a mechanical supervisor at the mill and known as a strict, no-nonsense boss. On a mill shutdown Wayne Mantey and I were to work as millwright helpers on Chuck’s crew. For some reason Wayne and I ended up a few minutes late coming into the lunchroom behind the old machine shop. Chuck was standing with his back to us giving the days marching orders to a whole room full of tradesmen, maybe 25 guys. Wayne walked over, threw his arm around Chuck’s shoulders and said:
“How’s it going Chucky-baby?”. A few of the millwrights smiled, but nobody laughed. I was scared for a few seconds, if Chuck forgot where he was he might throw Wayne on top of me. Chuck’s face twitched and then he couldn’t control himself any longer. He smiled, then chuckled, then a lot of people laughed. When the laughter died down he called Wayne a bad name, then chewed us out for being late, but you could tell it wasn’t serious. I think Wayne knew Chuck better than anyone else there did.
Chuck had a nice smile, you would say his eyes smiled, too. Chuck was a pillar of the Anglican church and his strong faith sustained him through more than ten years living with cancer. As a devoted family man it must have been hard to miss Terry’s daughter’s wedding last June because of the cancer. Everyone has very busy lives nowadays, but all four of his daughters and both sons were with their mother at Chuck’s side when he passed away. Chuck had a great funeral. The large crowd included many men who used to work with him at the mill and members of the farming community. There were little girls in pretty dresses and a very pregnant lady to remind everyone that four generations were there and that life goes on. Choking back tears, four of his granddaughters and three of his daughters talked about Chuck and little Sophie rang the bell for her grampie.

THe DRYDeN OBSeRveR
Bob Barker and the bears t had to happen. There was no way on God’s green earth that anti-hunting and animal rights activists were not going to say something about the return of a spring bear hunt to Ontario, even in a limited form. However, you do have to wonder if Zoocheck Canada really was well served by turning to retired Price is Right game show host Bob Barker to be the mouthpiece. Last week, the now 90 year old Barker was made available to the press in Ontario to decry the return of the spring bear hunt. His comments occasionally sounded very much like he was reading off a supplied sheet of talking points. “Everyone, anyone, would just be aghast at baby cubs being forced to stave to death. What a way to go, “ said Barker to CBC radio, his voice full of indignation. Barker also went on to term the baited hunt “barbaric” and said “you put out the bait , you wait until the mother shows up and you kill her. That’s very sportsmanlike, isn’t it.” The spectre of orphaned bear cubs Barker put forward was both highly emotional and inflammatory. This is the very same stuff that worked so well for the anti-hunting groups in 1999, and helped push then Premier Mike Harris to single handedly put an end to it. However, in the 15 years since the cancellation, people have learned more about how bear hunting works. Just about everyone in northern Ontario knows it was against the law to kill a sow with cubs in 1999, and it will be against the law when the spring hunt is re-instated in a limited way this spring. It will be male bears only. So when Barker, who was speaking from the sun drenched Hollywood Hills, rolled out the same old rhetoric, it sounded dated at best and clueless at worst. Barker is a celebrity, yes. If a faded one. But Zoocheck may have done their cause more damage then good by trotting out someone so removed from the reality of the northern Ontario way of life. Barker has done good things for getting dogs and cats spayed and neutered. Yet he does himself and his causes no favours by thundering on about something he clearly knows little about. Though Barker was speaking out specif-
ically about the spring bear hunt, does anyone really think he is in favour of any type of hunting? As for the Ministry of Natural Resources, it is clear to this columnist at least, that they‘ve been carefully managing the return of the spring bear hunt to Ontario. Announcing that it was coming back in the fall made it less of a big story than if it was brought back in the winter, when media is generally more hungry for stories. It is also clear the MNR wanted to start small, and carefully, without much fan fare. This is undoubtedly why Minister David Orazietti has taken great pains to make people understand the hunt is being returned for reasons of public safety, and not to provide more hunting opportunity. He has repeatedly noted the increase in nuisance bear complaints in Ontario since 1999, and has admitted the MNR’s own trap and relocate program did not, and could not fully address the nuisance bear problem. When Orazietti was asked about Barker’s allegation that cubs would be orphaned by the spring hunt, he noted that since 1990 only two people had ever been charged with killing a sow with cubs. Orazietti did, however, go to great pains to say that for northerners, the reduction of the bear population was a priority item. He noted that teachers in many school yards have bear whistles and “that’s not right”. Hence the return of the spring bear hunt to some nuisance bear “hotspots“, including Thunder Bay and Sudbury. . Ontario’s spring bear hunt will always be surrounded by some controversy. There is too much baggage around it and a history of mis-information. Some people are ok with the hunting, but don’t like the baiting aspect. That is understandable. Hunting over bait is not for everyone. The fact is that without baiting, you rarely have time to check that a sow has cubs. So baiting to identify is a key element of the the spring hunt, but misunderstood. However, by focussing on the need to reduce bears in this province,the MNR is being both proactive and bold. It’s hard to fault them for that.
Taxes, taxes, taxes A page from Willy Brant’s diary... was in the coffeeshop a few weeks ago when city taxes was in the news, and I heard a loud debate at the next table, between a town guy and a Barclay guy. Town guy was proclaiming that the only thing he gets that Barclay doesn’t is sewer and water, and he pays for that on a separate bill, it is not tax dollars. Most of the city taxes are for police and recreation and roads and stuff the province demands, and that benefits Barclay as much as the town guys. Barclay guy says yeah, but I don’t use any of that stuff. Town guy says ok, a big chunk is school tax, and another goes to welfare, are you saying only the guys who have kids should pay for education, or you shouldn’t pay for the arena because you don’t skate, or welfare because you don’t expect to need it? Get a life! That shut that conversation down for a bit, and I said to my table, all fellows from outside the city, “that city debate worries me, it seems they are saying we are not paying our fair share out in the unorganized. Wish I could get a look at that city budget, and see how much they are paying that we aren’t”. Big Bob, one of my neighbours over toward Oxdrift, said his son Little Bob is really interested in stuff like this, and might have a copy of the city budget. Anyway, Big Bob turned up the other day with a copy of the city’s 2011 budget, which includes the 2010 actual results, said that was the newest he could get. Little Bob had made some notes, and we sat down for coffee and went through them. Little Bob had worked out that the average household in Dryden paid $1900 in taxes in 2010, which includes $250 for the school board and $400 for boards not part of the city, like the board of health and the old folks home, leaves $1250 for the city. He said the recreation, roads, police and fire alone cost more than
that, so it’s a good thing the mill still pays a lot of tax. My place out here is pretty small, and my tax bill is $1000 per year. Little Bob thought that we are getting a break in the unorganized alright, but not as big as people think, when you factor in we have reduced standards for roads, no streetlights, no fire hydrants, no natural gas, lousy internet, and so on. As usual, my recluse neighbour Joe has an opinion. Actually, a whole lot of them. He said people spend more on cigarettes and lottery tickets and Timmies than on municipal taxes, and ten times more in taxes to the province and the feds. He thinks people are upset because they see so much government waste and corruption, and even if municipal taxes is not that big a deal, at least at the municipal level they can make their anger heard. “Fire and liability insurance and mortgages are cheaper and easier to get in a municipality”, he says, “and your property value is protected by zoning, and your land can be divided, so your property would be worth more if we were in a municipality. I suppose that means in the long run we would be better off in a municipality. The trouble is, in the long run, we will all be dead. In the short term, we get a bit of a break on taxes!” Joe was silent for a minute, then added “of course the way things are going, with our rural taxes doubling over the past few years, that advantage is disappearing. Anyway it’s a pretty safe bet that the province will force us all into municipalities sooner or later. BC did that a few years ago, they just expanded all the municipalities until their boundaries touch, case closed.” So after all that, I am still not sure what to think. Sooner than later I will be looking at Princess Court, and I kind of wish I could feel just as entitled to be there as the town guys who support it with their taxes.
Distracted driving now #1 killer on roads Submitted Irresponsible driver behaviour has the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) concerned about the fate of many road users this year as officers prepare to launch their next campaign against Distracted Driving. In 2013, distracted driving fatalities surpassed both impaired and speed related fatalities in fatal motor vehicle collisions investigated by the OPP. A total of 78 persons died in distracted driving related collisions compared to 57 impaired driving deaths and 44 speed related deaths last year. “When you consider the overall impact of these 78 fatalities last year and the 325 other distracted driving victims who have died since 2010, the number of people these irresponsible drivers have had a profound and devastating impact on is in the thousands,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support.
“Everyone, from the victims’ families and friends to the police officers who attend these horrific collision scenes and have to notify nextof-kin, knows the emotional impact of one life lost to this senseless driving behavior trickles down to so many people who, sadly, through experience, know how badly this behaviour needs to stop,” he added. The OPP is reminding motorists that on March 18, 2014 the current distracted driving fine of $155 will jump to $280 (this includes the increased $225 fine plus a $50 victim fine surcharge and $5 court cost). The OPP’s Distracted Driving Campaign runs from Saturday, March 8 to Friday, March 14, 2014. During that time, the OPP will be doing its part to eliminate the threat of distracted driving through its own awareness raising efforts and focused enforcement of distracted driving laws throughout the province.

Where’s the beef? Minnitaki’s ELD Farms offering sustainable local beef By Samantha Hawkins
healthy eating habits with the rest of the local area. ELD cattle are sent to Griffiths in Oxdrift to be processed and packaged, and the Debneys hope to also have lamb available in the spring. Trying to put through only as much meat as they need is a big factor in the way ELD Farms is run and a testament to the care and attention the Debneys provide their animals. “You don’t want to put them through,” says Linda, “because then somebody looses their life.” The Debneys devote their lives to their cattle, checking on the expectant mothers every two hours even through the nights and trying to offer them the best treatment they can, right up to scratching those hard to reach places. ELD Farm does not use any hormones, steroids or unnecessary antibiotics on the farm, but they do vaccinate their cattle against common cattle diseases that Linda likens to the vaccinations we get as children. Trying to maintain a healthy herd, rebuilding barns (after loosing their calving barn to a wind storm last July), moving and maintaining fencing and making sure the animals always have access to fresh clean bedding, good quality feed and fresh water is definitely a full time job, but one the Debneys find rewarding. “It’s good food,” says Linda, “Its what we feed our family and if anyone wants to come see where their meat is raised, the coffee’s always on.”
ELD Farm fits the definition of a family farm perfectly. Now owned and operated by Linda and Evan Debney the 640 acre Minnitaki farm was initially purchased by Evan’s grandparents through Veterans Affairs almost one hundred years ago. Linda and Evan along with their fiveyear-old twins Charlie and Levi, currently live and work on the farm and care for 60 commercial beef cattle, 35 laying hens, six sheep and two goats. Linda also runs a day care from the farmhouse and says that the smaller animals are a huge draw for the children she cares for as they get to assist with some of the lighter chores around the farm and interact with the animals. Aside from the early introduction to husbandry another huge benefit to life on the farm is the access to healthy fresh eggs and beef anytime. Linda jokes, “There’s one little boy that would just eat eggs and toast all day long if I would let him.” Growing up on a farm offers many opportunities that most people wouldn’t even consider. Linda for example has never purchased beef from the store. “I see the packages of this strange red ‘meat’ in the stores and think ‘that’s not what meat looks like’.” Being able to feed yourself and your family with your own livestock is huge, but now with the introduction of the online ordering system through the Cloverbelt Local Food Co-Op, farms like ELD are able to share some of their

Employment outreach event hosted by services board By Samantha Hawkins The Third Annual employment outreach event held in Dryden at the centre on Feb. 25 saw over 150 job seekers registered for the workshops put on by the Adult Education Partnership and Northwest
Employment Works. With presentations all morning and a free lunch followed by an afternoon of workshops, the key focus was on education and training. Life Skills Trainer Josee Mantle says the speakers were excellent
and that the event is a great networking tool. Participant Kerrie Cameron would have liked to have seen a stronger showing from the younger community however. “The schools don’t make the students attend these any-
more, so they don’t come. There are opportunities to keep students here in Dryden but their eyes aren’t being opened to it.” Blair McKenzie, Fire Operations Supervisor for the MNR was also in attendance and says the ideal candidate for the Fire Rangers program are University or College students, “With training we invest a lot in people so we want to make sure their around for a couple of years.” The MNR were not the
only ones in attendance hoping to recruit new applicants, pass along key educational information and open people to the possibilities existing in the area. Dryden Regional Health Centre, Adult Ed Partnership, Domtar, Johnny Mac’s Training Centre, Nishnawbe-Aski Police, Treasury Metals, Contact North, Confederation College, Seven Generations Institute and even McDonalds were all there offering information on current programs and available
positions. Cameron noted, “There are a lot of people looking for work, but at the same time there are a lot of employers looking for people, we’re hoping to bridge that gap a little today.” The entire event is sponsored by KDSB and there is no cost to employers wishing to participate. Mantle says they are planning on doing it again next year and are hosting the same events in Sioux Lookout and Kenora as well.

Iron Rangers teach â€˜Dogs new tricks By Dryden Observer Staff While the end of the regular season is just a few games away, the playoffs canâ€™t seem to come fast enough for the skidding Dryden Ice Dogs. Goaltender Joakim Juntras put in a valiant effort against 41 shots on goal, Sunday evening â€” more than double those faced by his counterpart at the other end of the rink. Aided by two goals apiece from The Iron Rangersâ€™ AJ Rupert and Trevor Hoth, the late blooming Minnesota team grabbed a 74 win.

Scoring for Dryden were Tim Kavanaugh, Chris Sitko, Synee Coonishish and Chris Varrin. Drydenâ€™s club has had a difficult 2014 thus far, winning just two of six games in February on the heels of an even harder January where the club went 2-7 â€” marking wins only against the Wisconsin Wilderness and the English River Miners, their new neighbours in the lower eschelons of the SIJHL standings. The Ice Dogs play their final two regular season outings at home versus the Thunder bay North Stars, March 5 and 6.

Family secrets ripe for comedy in MTC play By Chris Marchand The Manitoba Theatre Centre’s travelling production upped its game in 2014 with its presentation of Miracle on South Division Street. While typically of consistently high quality, MTC’s travelling productions have followed a pattern indicative of one or two-person shows. But this cast of four, including Tricia Cooper, Marina Stephenson Kerr, Stephanie Wiens and Cory Wojcik showed us what we’ve been missing in the kind of comedy dynamic that larger cast can provide. Catching the production towards the end of its 23-show run, the quartet were, naturally, capable of doing this show in their sleep. The very funny and heartwarming story is an examination of dysfunction within a family and the role that secrets and dishonesty play in that dysfunction. What I liked about this play was the sheer number of ‘seeds’ planted along the path. Comments you may dismiss as expository dialogue bloom into comedy gold as the play gathers steam. There is no casual speech in Miracle on South Division Street — nothing is wasted. The Nowaks meet for a family meeting at their matriarch’s house in a crumbling neighbourhood of Buffalo, where they have long held their claim to fame that the Virgin Mary once appeared in their grandfather’s barber shop. A shrine to commemorate the miracle remains in the front yard of the family home. The family has constructed a proud identity around this mythos — which is to be torn to the ground by daughter Clara when she reveals her grandmother’s deathbed revelations to her brother, sister and mother. Is the truth a happier place to be? Miracle on South Division Street argues that life is too short for self-deception and that the truth can set a family free from things not worth clinging to.
Event discusses local food networks By Samantha Hawkins The centre in Dryden hosted its first TEDxManhattan presentation Changing the Way We Eat on March 1 for the Cloverbelt Local Food Co-Op. The free event inspired all of those in attendance and provided an abundance of information regarding sustainable food practices, ideas and the consequences faced if changes are not made. Event organizer and Cloverbelt president Jen Springett said the Co-Op was formed to help local people realize the impact they can have on the current food system. “The reason we formed the Co-Op is so every week we have a choice.” A choice to eat local, healthy food means shopping local and supporting the local economy and sustainable farm-
ing practices. Local speaker and farmer Mel Fisher gave a brief presentation to the Dryden audience regarding the history of farming in the area and praised the Cloverbelt Local Food Co-Op. “It provides access to local food, which means local people can help us (local farmers) survive.” With TEDx speakers praising everything from Cricket Flour to gardens in schools the inspired people involved shared their passion with a little part of Dryden all in the hopes that local residents will start to look at where their food is coming from and begin to demand change.

ObituARies Bradley William Pihulak – October 8, 1978 - February 23, 2014
Charles “Chuck” Wintle – November 13, 1928 - February 23, 2014
peacefully, with his family by his side, on Sunday, February 23, 2014 at the Dryden Regional Health Centre. Brad is survived by his daughters Dylilah and Darci Pihulak; parents Donna and Larry Pihulak; brother Jeff and wife Shauntelle and their children James Pihulak-Seeley of Winnipeg, Riley and Carter Pihulak of Dryden; grandma Lil Pihulak of Fort Frances, as well as numerous other relatives. Brad was born October 8, 1978 in Fort Frances. Brad grew up in Dryden attending St. Joseph’s School and Dryden High School. After high school Brad enrolled in a carpentry apprenticeship working for various contractors in the area. He then went on to work at Home Hardware Building Centre, a job he thoroughly enjoyed. Brad then found his calling as a diamond driller with Boart Longyear in the Red Lake mine. Brad enjoyed spending time with his
Paul and Lisa and Mike. Dad was very proud of his 6 children and the 14 grandchildren he was blessed with. Ryan and Jen, Erin and Brian, Dusty, Mark and Melissa, Sheena, Carly and Andrew, Isaac and Jessica, Neil and Bola, Charlee and Matt, Gabrielle and Delaney, Laura, Josh, Taylor and Sophie. Pop was also very excited to welcome his 3 great-grand children. Nash, Sadie, Lyra and 2 more arriving shortly. Chuck will also be missed by his brothers Sid and Bud and his sister Alice and their families. Dad was not able to get out and about over the past few months however he was so appreciative of his family and friends who stopped to share a moment, a thought or a prayer. Those visits meant the world to him. Some will remember Chuck for his 40+ years working at our local mill. Others will see him as a faithful servant at St Luke’s Anglican Church. Many will miss the bounty he readily shared from his garden. Still others will remember him out standing in his fields.
In loving memory of Bradley William Pihulak, age 35 years, who passed away

numerous friends and family and most of all taking care of his two girls. His hobbies included golfing, cruising in his car, listening and composing music and playing guitar.

In loving memory of Charles “Chuck” Wintle, age 85 years, who passed away in the Dryden Regional Health Center on Sunday, February 23, 2014 with his family at his side. It is with thankfulness for 85 years of a life well lived, and sadness for those left behind, that we say our fondest goodbyes to a great man. Charles Wintle was a man of many virtues and the best of those was his ability to love deeply and share every part of his being. Chuck’s greatest accomplishment was his 60+years married to the love of his life Shirley and the raising of their 6 children. Dawn and Gord, Terry, Brian and Debbie, Kathy and Cliff, Carol and
The family would like to thank Dr. Moir for the heartfelt care Dad received from him. Pop said “he had many blessings in his life and he counted Dr. Moir as one of them”.

Trillium Lions speak with Grade 1s about national pride
Submitted Through a uniquely Canadian Lions program called Project Pride, Grade 1 students in Dryden are learning about national pride. Each year on Flag Day (Feb. 15 in Ontario) Trillium Lions Club members visit St. Joseph’s, Open Roads and New Prospect schools to speak with the children about our pride in being Canadian and in our flag. Each child is presented with a small Canadian flag and a personalized certificate to take home. As well, this year the schools received books for young children in a “pay it forward” gesture by the Trillium Lions. Mildred Reinhardt, a retired children’s book author in NE Minnesota, who is also a Lion, offered her remaining inventory of books to interested Lions clubs in NW Ontario and Trillium Lions took advantage of her generous offer. In addition to the

MP Rickford: clearing the air on Veterans’ Affairs ecently, there have R been reports in the media regarding the treatment of our veterans and it has caught the attention of many constituents across the riding. I would like the opportunity to provide you with the most accurate information on this recent decision to close eight Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) offices across Canada. The Federal Government is committed to ensuring veterans have access to the services they may need and that is why all 650+ Service Canada locations now provide Veterans Affairs services. There are also 1,461 Royal Canadian Legions and 308 MP offices across the country ready to help any veteran that may require assistance. In January, Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino announced they would close eight VAC
offices, one of which is in Thunder Bay, due to underutilization. As a result, they have moved a fulltime VAC client service agent into the Thunder Bay Service Canada office, a more central location. In the remaining seven communities, VAC agents have been moved into the nearest Service Canada locations, five of which are in the very same building; the other two located less than 1 km away. In the past few weeks, I have spoken with constituents that are veterans themselves or have family members that are veterans that support the change in Thunder Bay. While many veterans receive services from VAC, they receive them in their home and travelling is not required. Services such as snow removal, house cleaning, meals and financial assistance are just some of the in-home services veterans
receive. For the very few that have had to travel at some point to Thunder Bay, they support the move to a more central location; with Service Canada, Veterans Affairs services, a Passport Canada office, etc, all in one building. My own grandfather, a 95-year-old WWII veteran living in southern Ontario, is just one of the veterans across Canada that has
never been to a VAC office and has full access to the services and benefits provided by Veterans Affairs. If he needs assistance, someone visits him at his home and they are diligent in checking to make sure he has access to everything he needs. The Federal Government is committed to ensuring efficient and accessible service for all veterans. The convenience
of having both federal services in one location will ensure the maximum amount of funding available goes directly towards programs and services for veterans – as it should be. Our veterans will continue to be held in the highest regard and should anyone need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office at 1-866-7100008.
