�I look forward to having goodrelations with council and the com-munity,� Sterling told the mayorand councillors after saying she�scommitted to keeping in closetouch with businesses along withthe community at large.

�WE CAN�T fit all of ourmembership in the com-munity. This celebration is

for the off-reserve people to comehome,� said Jennifer Manitowabi,the Frenchman�s Head functioncoordinator. Following the firstLac Seul First Nation Homecom-ing that originated last August,she said, �We�re not yet calling itan annual event. It will be up tothe membership to decide howoften they want to see it happen.

�Last year we had 300 off-re-serve families come home andwe�re increasing participation thisyear to 500,� the coordinator re-layed. She gave credit to newspa-per and radio advertising in Win-nipeg, Thunder Bay, Red Lake,Kenora and Dryden for arousingthe interest of so many of themembership who live away fromthe community for various rea-sons.

A classic Pow Wow at thegrounds just outside of French-man�s Head continued all week-

Mills, Councillors Kathy Polingand Rob McClendon made upthe party of local staff intent onmaking sure their concerns areheard among neighbouringtowns. Clerk Mary MacKenziewas also present on behalf ofthe Association of MunicipalManagers, Clerks and Treasur-ers.

�The primary purpose of theconference was to bring ourconcerns to the different minis-ters,� explained Poling, whoadded that her first AMO con-ference was a learning experi-ence. �It�s an opportunity tocome up with ways that would

make Sioux Lookout a bettertown, a better community.�

A big concern of all munici-palities, said Poling, is the issuein the coming elections of forc-ing municipalities to hold taxreferendums before getting con-sent to raise new taxes for theirown purposes.

�(Tax referendums) havesome good points, but munici-palities have a lot of concern,�she said. �A lot of municipali-ties see it as a removal of power.What�s the point of having amunicipality if the Provincemakes all the final decisions?�

dations. Furthermore, thatCouncil authorizes the Di-rector of Finance and In-formation Systems and theCAO to utilize the amalga-mated reserves and reservefunds to eliminate the Mu-nicipal cumulative Oper-ating Fund deficit as at theend of the current fiscalyear. Furthermore, thatCouncil authorizes the Di-rector of Finance and In-formation Systems and theCAO to seek financing forcapital projects from finan-cial institutions and otherlending bodies in sufficientamounts to offset the Capi-tal Fund deficit. Further-more, that Council en-dorses the principle of nottransferring or budgeting,the transfer of OperatingFunds to reserves or re-serve funds, until the endof a fiscal year and afteryear-end adjustments arecomplete to ensure that thetransfer of funds does notcreate an Operating Funddeficit. Furthermore, thatCouncil endorses the prin-ciple of transferring anyOperating Fund surplus atthe end of a fiscal year toreserves to the extent thatthis surplus is not requiredto extinguish a prior yearoperating deficit. Further-more, that Council issues adirective prohibiting apply-ing for funding for or thecommencement of a capi-tal project until all sourcesof financing for the projecthave been identified andsecured, and that all of theproject sources of revenuehave been identified andproperly approved. Fur-thermore, that Council di-rects that capital projectsfor 2003, that have not beencommenced at this time,be put on hold until 100 percent funding is secured.Furthermore, that Councildirects a hiring freeze beput in place for all depart-ments unless a position isrequired to meet provin-

cial legislation require-ments or the need for theposition is adequately sup-ported. Furthermore, thatCouncil instructs the Di-rector of Finance to aggres-sively pursue outstandingproperty taxes owing to theMunicipality and that ac-counts three years or morein arrears be placed for taxsale. Furthermore thatCouncil approves, in prin-ciple, the necessity of build-ing reserves by at least$500,000 per year fromOperation Fund Surplusesstarting in 2004 and con-tinuing for the next fiveyears. Furthermore, thatCouncil approves, in prin-ciple, that Operating FundSurpluses must be realizedthrough a combination ofincreasing Operating FundRevenues and decreasingOperating Fund expenses.Furthermore, that Councilapproves and directs theDirector of Finance tomove monies from invest-ment accounts to operatingaccounts, as required, topay for Capital Expendi-tures incurred in the interimand until a longer termsource of financing is se-cured. Furthermore, thatCouncil endorses the Di-rector of Finance and In-formation Systems� Finan-cial Management Plan pro-posed for the Municipalityand supports the recoveryprogram outlined at theCommittee of the Wholemeeting on Wednesday,Aug. 6, 2003.

Editorial

Today we enjoy first class, fully automated telephone service,including cell phones, hundreds of television stations, local radiobroadcasts, and the Internet.

Those who lived here only 25 years ago will remember a townwith two television stations (CBC English and CBC French),party line telephones requiring operator assistance to make longdistance calls, and CBC national radio.

Even those antiquated (but exciting in their time) serviceswould likely have seemed modern miracles to those from anearlier era. The following comes from the May 23, 1952 SiouxLookout Daily Bulletin.

First radios in Sioux LookoutBert Rands owned the first radio in Sioux Lookout in 1922. It

was an old 3-phase Marconi complete with earphones for all thefamily to pass around and take turns using. He later rigged it sothat several could listen in at once.

There wasn�t much choice of programs in those days � KDKA,

What will residents in 2050 think ofthis year�s Sioux Lookout?

Had a good timeDear Blueberry Bert,This note is to let you

know how much I enjoyedtaking part in the 21st An-nual Blueberry Festival inSioux Lookout. I especiallyenjoyed seeing that the ac-tivities appealed to peopleof all ages. My youngestdaughter Amber, who is 7years old, came with meand had fun having her hairpainted blue. It is good tosee communities that fo-cus on family activities.With our busy schedules,we need to take time tospend with family andfriends.

I also enjoyed acting asa judge in the BannockBake-Off. The creativityand enthusiasm shown byall the teams was great! Ofcourse the bannock wasgood too � I never knew

there could be so manyvariations of bannock. Itwas a lot of fun taking partin the judging.

Prior to attending theBlueberry Festival, I wasalso in Sioux Lookout inApril meeting with healthcare staff and members ofthe business and First Na-tions communities. Ilearned much about yourcommunity at that time andlook forward to learningmore about how I can rep-resent you at Queen�s Parkas your Member of Provin-cial Parliament. I believein the will and strength ofnortherners and that to-gether we can continue tobuild a bright future for thenorth.

My good friend andmentor Leo Bernier had itright when he focused onthe north first and foremost

and I too believe that shouldbe my focus.

Please do not hesitate tocontact me if I can be ofassistance to you in SiouxLookout. Once again,thank you for sharing yourwonderful Blueberry Fes-tival event with me and myfamily.

Happy 98th birthday,Mary

Hello,I want to send a photo of

Mary Parsons at her 98thbirthday. The photo wastaken Sunday Aug. 3 atMeno Ya Win Hospitalwhere a party was held inher honour.

Mary�s son Brock and

Pittsburgh; WOC, Davenport; and a station in Schenectady, NYvied for the honor of the living room visitors.

Reception was at its best in winter. In summer you might aswell play cards or go down the lake for a boat ride. Reception wasalmost nil.

Soon, dabbling with radios became the craze and Mr. Kemp,a CNR electrician, Mr. George Mitchell and Mr. Len Grahambecame enthusiasts. By 1924 many houses had early radioswhich were probably looked upon with as much curiosity as areTV sets today.

In 1943 Sioux Lookout obtained, through the endeavors of thejunior Chamber of Commerce, a local CBC repeater station onthe Trans-Canada Network. Its call letters are CBLS and it hasmeant a great deal in providing the local populace with perfectreception of the CBC programs.

How will today�s marvelous services here look about 50 yearsfrom now?

his wife Mary fromYellowknife, organized thespecial event which wasattended by many ofMary�s friends from town.A large cake and coffee

were enjoyed by many. Iwas thrilled to be able to bethere to wish Mary a happybirthday!

Yours truly,Denise Roy

I�VE BEEN movingaround from one roomto the other looking for

a cool spot to write in. Sofar no luck. I�ll rememberthis day some cold day inDecember.

I�ve moved the bird, cageand all, onto a shady spoton the patio. Maybe he�llreward me with a song.Maybe. He doesn�t domuch singing when I�maround. I�m hoping he doeswhen I�m not around. Seeif I care. I hear tell of bird-owners whose bird comesout of the cage and sits ontheir owner�s hand. Andsings. If that�s what Tweetyis waiting for, he�s goingto wait a long time. I trained

five children. I�ve done mytime.

Around this time of theyear you can almost feelthat summer is windingdown. All in all, it�s beengreat, blackout and all. I�mgoing to do a little brag-ging here so go pour your-self a coffee. Regarding theaforementioned blackout Iwas downtown. Some-body, daughter Vicki, if Iremember correctly, droveme home. There was a per-son at the bottom of thestairs with a flashlight so Imanaged to get to my door.I had two flashlights in theapartment and in the dark Icould find the both of themwithout a fuss. I think that�s

worth bragging about. Notonly that. The batteriesworked. We sure can�t domuch without electricity,can we? The very thoughtof it makes me shiver. Wesurely are a nation ofspoiled darlings aren�t we?

School will soon be start-ing again. Kids need a rou-tine and school-time followssummer holidays as sun-shine follows rain. Besideswho wants to keep their kidsat home all the time? WhenI was little I loved the be-ginning of school each Sep-tember because there werealways new clothes, shinyblack shoes and even a newsweater-coat. After the firstfew days I wasn�t quite ashappy. I must have been ahandful even in Grade 1.That bug bear Mrs. Lockhart(no relation to the Lockhartsin town) would purse herskinny lips and call out in ashrill voice, �Rosie! Are you

talking again?� Usually Iwas. I still am. But there�sno Mrs. Lockhart around.There are advantages ingrowing up. Some disad-vantages too but we�ll drawa veil over those.

To change the subject,my family was always inbusiness and I grew up fullyrealizing the importance ofadvertising. I recentlyfound an article on that sub-ject and I thought you mightenjoy some quotes:

Sign on a fruit and veg-etable stand: �Fruit of theLoam.�

From an ad for an el-egant crystal decanter: �Itnever just pours. It reigns.�

Sign on a bank ad:�Money talks. We listenwith interest.�

Sign on a venetian blindshop in London: �If itwasn�t for us, it would becurtains for everybody.�

Sign in a beauty parlor

window: �If your hair isn�tbecoming to you, youshould be coming to us.�

Sign in a delicatessenwindow: �If you feel like acoward, drop in and we�llmake you a hero.�

In case you didn�t know,a hero is a huge bun filledwith good things. My con-ception of a hero would notbe that.

(They�re playing �SleepyTime Gal,� a trumpet solo,on the radio, and I am lost inmemories. I�ll continue in aminute.)

Intelligence withoutambition is like a bird withno wings. Dollars havenever been known to pro-duce character and charac-ter will never be producedby money. We don�t getharmony when everybodysings the same note.

Another Thought for To-day: To live in the hearts ofthose we love, is not to die.

Carla Chisel arrived latelast week. She lives inThunder Bay now but re-mains a member of theband. She said, �It�s goodfor the kids (who live in thecity) to be in the bush. Theycan run around freely. Itwould be nice to see it be-come an annual event.�

Off-reserve memberMichelle Henry still hasfamily living in the com-munity. She was away atuniversity and came homefor the summer celebration.She agreed that the motivebehind the homecomingwas beneficial to everyonewho will reunite with fam-ily and friends. �Seeing oldfriends who have movedaway, it will be great!�

Manitowabi summa-rized, sharing the objective

designed when proposingfunding for the event; �Topreserve Ojibway languageand culture. To promoteunity and harmonyamongst our people and toeducate our membership onLac Seul�s past, present andfuture.�

Creating traditionalitems from hand with avariety of workshopstaught the participants

She said if the issue ofraising taxes is left to ordi-nary citizens, they may notunderstand the need for taxhikes, and this could hurtthe Town�s ability to raisemoney for projects.

Poling said she spokewith the Minister of Mu-nicipal Affairs, DavidYoung, to, �Let him knowwe�re happy with thedownloading of responsi-bilities, but not with thelack of downloading of re-sources to go with it.�

Mills said he addressedthe need for the new Offi-cial Plan to be approved.He said it�s integral to thefuture development ofHudson which has facedmany obstacles in meeting

provincial standards andother roadblocks prevent-ing growth.

�For five years we�vebeen fighting to get thisthrough,� Mills said, speak-ing about the importanceof having the Official Planapproved to allow growthin Hudson. �We can�t doanything until this plancomes in.�

However, Mills said itshouldn�t be much longer.�(The provincial govern-ment leaders) say they�regoing to get on it. It�s 90per cent complete. Weshould have somethingsoon.�

Mills said he also dis-cussed the need for moreassistance in improvinglocal roads with Frank

Klees, Minister ofTranportation. Millspointed out that the expenseof road maintenance hasrisen since Hudson andSioux Lookout amalga-mated.

McDonald reinforcedthe need for Provincialbacking when it comes toimproving area roads. Healso expressed appreciationfor assistance with the Hud-son Highway and FrogRapids Bridge.

�We�ve had problemsimproving the infrastruc-ture of our roads (sincea m a l g a m a t i o n ) , �McDonald said, pointingto the road that connectsHudson Highway to themill as an example of theneed for improvement.

�It�s falling apart in frontof our eyes.�

He said the Town willbe developing a cost esti-mate for repairing the roadsas requested by the Minis-try of Transportation.

Both Mills and McDonaldalso expressed disappoint-ment with Premier ErnieEves, who didn�t show atthe conference to speak withmunicipal leaders.

Another item Mills dis-cussed was the possibilityof bringing a youth correc-tional facility to SiouxLookout. He said the Prov-ince still has to determineif there is a need for a youthfacility now that the YouthCriminal Justice Act re-placed the Young Offend-ers Act, resulting in fewer

young offenders being sentto such places. If there is aneed, Mills said SiouxLookout would benefitfrom having the facility.

�We�ve got everythingin town you need for this,�Mills said, adding it wouldcreate jobs. �We�d love tohave that here.�

Entrepreneurs wine their way to the heart of Sioux Lookout Wine Loversthing better than appreciat-ing fine wine � drinkingfine wine that�s a personalbrew, suited for personaltaste.

�It�s a real art,� Danielssaid, explaining that theylearned about the processas they went along whenfirst making their own wineas a hobby. �When we bothjust started out we learnedas we went.�

It was Daniels� idea toturn their fondness for wineand the art of making theirown into a local business.Initially it started out as aweb-based business,www.wineyourway.com.

Seeing a demand in townfor brewing supplies andservices that sent brewersout of town to places likeDryden, he decided to fillthe void.

�There are quite a fewpeople who enjoy makingtheir own,� Daniels said,adding they hope to tap intothat clientele. �But quite afew go to Dryden or Thun-der Bay to pick up the prod-ucts, so there is a need here.It�s something unique forSioux Lookout.�

It may not have been aspopular about ten years ago,according to Carroll, but shesaid that home brewing isgrowing as a hobby.

�It�s a growing trend,�Carroll said. �You didn�treally see it much a fewyears ago, but now it�s be-coming something for peo-ple who want a hobby, wantsomething to do.�

As much as people brewfor their own personal sat-isfaction, Carroll said it�salso typical of brewers toshare their wealth of wine.

�A lot of people end upbrewing their wine for wed-dings, for Christmas,� shesaid. �It can be a little morespecial giving wine youmade yourself because itadds your own touch.�

Then there are monetaryreasons that Carroll said

provide added incentive forsome. �This is more eco-nomical.�

Each brewing kit pro-duces 23 litres and worksout to about two dollars abottle. The two said thereare four and six week brew-ing kits, with instructionsthat take the brewer througha step by step process.Carroll said it isn�t as hardas some may think.

�You get instructionswith the kit, but the moreexperience you get you candevelop your own way ofdoing it,� she said. �Wewere a little intimidatedwhen we first started, butit�s an interesting challenge

for people who enjoy wine.We discovered with peo-ple that bought the kit intown that it�s fairly easy tomake.�

The new enterprise stillhas room for expansion,according to the couple,who plan on also sellingbar accessories for the re-fined wine drinkers, andthey may even considerperfecting their own wineand selling that.

When it comes down toit, though, Carroll summedup the joy she gets fromhome brewing.

�It�s rewarding,� shesaid. �You get to drink whatyou make.�

Bulletin photo/Michael PelhamNigel Daniels and Kristen Carroll stand by their wine making kits. The two ordered the stockearlier in August, hoping to tap into the wine lovers� market in Sioux Lookout.

EMBARKING on ajourney towardtraditions, a group

of local youth set out incanoes Aug. 18 for a weekof discovery at the Pis-ka-pii-win Youth Camp. �It�s

a pilot project for us,� ex-plained Terry LynneJewell, an organizer andcommittee member of thecamp sponsor, the SiouxLookout Anti-RacismCommittee. �We hope thisis a really positive eventand we hope to carry thison.�

After some preparation,water safety and canoe les-sons, accompanied by fiveguides the youth set sailfrom Boat Bay near Hud-son. After a couple of hourspaddling they arrived at adesignated spot on LostLake and set up camp -home for the week.

Learning activitiesplanned for the adventureincluded fish cleaning andsmoking, collecting edibleand medicinal plants in thearea, creating birch barkbaskets, drumming and les-sons about the Pow Wow.At the end of each day thegroup members partici-pated in a sharing circle toreflect on their accomplish-ments.

Tom Chisel visited thegroup one evening withlegends and stories of thearea he had researchedfor the occasion by inter-viewing Elders. Jewellsaid, �He is very knowl-edgeable.�

�They also built a sweatlodge and teaching lodge,�Jewell indicated. And be-cause the camp is locatednext to a beach, swimming

Anti-racism group launches cultural youth campbecame their pleasure onthe hot August afternoons.

In organizing the eventBeth Dasno was well pre-pared to lead the group.�She went to a trainingcourse in B.C. to a Redis-covery Camp. She learnedhow to set things up,�Jewell said.

�Rediscovery Camps arefor indigenous people tolearn about their ownhistory and traditions thatwere often lost when their

lands became colonized.We�ve modeled our campafter this concept,� sheadded.

The group paddled toFrenchman�s Head PowWow grounds on Friday tocomplete their experienceby camping there for theweekend. The Lac SeulFirst Nation was celebrat-ing a homecoming eventfor off reserve membersand the Pow Wow simulta-neously occurred.

NORMAN Pagetbegan, after a fewbrief introduc-

tions, by telling a dozenspectators at the library lastWednesday evening,�You�re listening to a liar.�His most recent publication,�The Adventures of a Teen-age Soldier� recounts aunique personal experience.

�The element of luckwas on my side,� Pagetsaid. At just 15 yearsyoung, he lied about hisage and went off to war.

The storyteller has wornmany hats throughout hislife, initially as a soldier,and later a social workerand author.

He took time to offer

Author visits, shares tales with Sioux Lookout audienceskillful advice on the �some-times tedious� toil of writ-ing. �If you get a bright idea,write it down,� he urged.�Read your work to a friend,or to yourself. When youread it out loud, it soundsaltogether different.�

The light-hearted narra-tive of the teenage soldierstory seemed rather comi-cal last Wednesday. Thatmay not have always beenthe case, however, as someof the depictions were pon-derous.

Paget�s wife Dorothy satamong the audience. To-gether they gained chucklesfrom the listeners while dis-cussing their early courtship.She remembered one timehe had come to see her. �Itold him I had a date (withsomeone else) but I could

break it. No way would hestay. He marched away.�

�Any good soldierwould,� Paget stepped in.

Wendy MacDonald,Chief Librarian at the SiouxLookout Public Library,arranged for Wednesday�sgathering. After meetingPaget over the phone shewas thrilled to hear he wascoming to Sioux Lookoutfor a visit. �He called andsaid he had a new book. Hewas so exuberant and ex-cited.� She added that afterspending time with the au-thor she realized, �Hewrites like he talks. It�s re-ally neat.�

Paget has four publica-tions - �Little Known Lega-cies from the CrimeanWar�, �This is my Storyand I�m the Hero�, �A Pic-

ture Story of the Paget Fam-ily In England 1882-1910and North Pines in North-

western Ontario, Canada1911-1922�, and �TheAdventures of a Teenage

Soldier.� All are availableat the Sioux Lookout Pub-lic Library.


POLICE and other 911services run the risk ofbeing diverted from real

emergencies and draining theirresources when pranksters de-cide to call the emergency linesas a joke, says Sioux Lookout�sOPP Staff Sergeant.

That�s the message ConnieSterling wants to get out to who-ever perpetrated prank hang upcalls over the last couple ofweeks. On seven different occa-sions, 911 services responded tocalls made from variouspayphones throughout town.When they arrived on the scene,no one was around.

Sterling said the phone callscould have been made by thesame person or group of people

Police not laughing at prank 911 callsat the different locations, but isn�tsure who the offenders are. Ifcaught, the culprits could facepublic mischief charges and evencriminal negligence charges ifemergency services are divertedfrom a real crisis.

However, Sterling said policehave no choice but to respond tothe calls, even if they suspect thecall is a prank.

�If the person calls (911) andthen hangs up, we still have torespond to the call because therecould be someone on the otherend who is incapacitated and un-able to speak,� she said.

The matter is more serious thanthe pranksters may realize, shesaid.

�It runs our resources out,� shesaid, explaining responding tofake 911 calls takes time and en-ergy away from police officers

who should be focusing on realmatters. �It could be taking awayfrom another urgent incident.�

Sterling tried to relate the mat-ter on a personal level.

�If your parent or child or lovedone needs access to our resources,those resources could be divertedbecause of a prank call,� she said.

When a 911 call is made, onlypolice initially respond to the callif the type of emergency is notknown.

Sterling said one of the callswas made at the Sioux LookoutAirport, while others where madefrom locations downtown.

She didn�t point the finger atany suspects, but said it isn�t un-common for prank phone callssuch as this to be made by kids.

�Sometimes it is kids goofingaround, and they�re not being heldaccountable,� she said.

POLICE are patrol-ling the Ministry ofNatural Resources

OPP caution trespassers atMNR Ranger Camp

signs discouraging entry.“Nobody was caught,”

confirmed Mark Gaudet,Community Services Officerwith the OPP, however, “in-vestigations are ongoing, aswe’ve had a couple of oc-currences.”

Reasoning behind the of-fences are unknown. “Theymay just be looking for a

camp site. We’re not surewhat they are going in for,”Gaudet said.

A press release issued byOPP late last week remindedpeople that trespassing is anoffence that could result inprosecution. Gaudet said,“There are signs postedclearly stating NoTrespassing.”


THE Café Collectivebestowed on fansof the Pierre

Schryer Band an encorepresentation last week. Themusicians appeared in townon very short notice lastsummer and have since

released an album. Theystopped in last Thursday atthe Sunset Inn to offer asample of their musical ac-complishments to SiouxLookout.

Monika Orzechowskaspoke on behalf of the CaféCollective, a local society ofmusicians and music lov-ers. “I met the band last

year at the Music Festival inEar Falls,” she said, andquickly arranged a show thatproved to be a success.“This summer they calledand said they had a CD outand could do another show.I was so pleased, their mu-sic is splendid and they aresuch nice people,” contin-ued Orzechowska.

Composed of DuncanCameron, a tuneful jack ofall trades on flute, mando-lin, bodhran and vocals,Schryer an accomplishedfiddler, Joe Phillips of theThunder Bay Symphony onbass and guitar, and MartineBillette step-dancer andpianist, the group enter-tained an audience of morethan 60 at the Sunset Inn.

Some danced and manyclapped and sang along intothe evening.

Schryer grabbed a mo-ment to chat. “Our newalbum is quite eclectic. Weplay a variety of styles.”Among them he listed Irish,Scottish, French Canadian,swing and English.

Currently the group istouring across the country.“We’ve been all over fromNewfoundland and back.It’s been great. We cameand played (in Sioux Look-out) last year. It was a niceplace to play. We were

close by and we cameagain,” Schryer concluded.

Tony Kay, a member ofthe Café Collective, wasworking at the door lastweek. He was thrilled thatthe group had reappeared.“It was an incredible show,”he said.

The lengthy applause andresponse from the crowdimplied that Sioux Lookoutis hopeful this will not bethe last they see of Schryer,and company.

With pep in her step Martine Bilette dances to the music of fellow quartet members PierreSchryer, Joe Phillips and Duncan Cameron.

But I have noticed thatduring the most troublesometimes in my life, there is onlyone set of footprints. I don�tunderstand why when I neededyou most you would leave me.�The LORD replied, �My pre-cious child, I love you and Iwould never leave you. Duringyour times of trial and suffer-ing, when you see only one setof footprints, it was then that Icarried you.� Elsie and her fam-ily would like to thank the fol-lowing: The community mem-ber of Frenchman�s Head,Whitefish Bay and Kejick Bay.The Lac Seul First Nation.

CLOSE but no cigar� that�s one way ofdescribing the per-

formance of two SiouxLookout teams who re-cently finished playoff ac-tion in the Dryden SeniorMens and Womens SoccerLeague.

The Sioux Lookout Le-gionnaires played the fi-nals against the QueenStreet Station Drillers onSaturday, losing by twopenalty shots called by thereferee. The Sioux Look-out Strikers womens teammanaged to finish the regu-


DESPITE a kneeinjury, a SiouxLookout athlete

came back from a recentnational track meet with asense of victory.

Taking a step closer toher dream of being a prorunner, Angelita Agustinreturned from Kitchener,Waterloo, with personalbests under her belt � evenone event in which she ad-mits not having much ex-perience.

She competed on theweekend of Aug. 16-17 inthe 1000 metre and triplejump, finishing first in bothevents at Peace Gardensbefore qualifying for theNationals.

She placed fourth in the1000 metre and eighth inthe triple jump, an event shehadn�t competed in for four

years. Agustin said she wasmuch more pleased with herperformance this timearound. At her last big meet� the OFSAA meet � shefelt her warm up was toolong, making her too tiredto give other competitors arun for their money.

�It was the coolestthing,� Agustin said, com-menting on her latest per-formance, considering itsuccessful even though herknee was acting up. �I wasmore ready this time.�

Running in the 1000metre was no easy feat, ac-cording to Agustin, whorecalled the last exhaust-ing minutes of the longrace.

�When I turned that lastcorner, I just wanted to stop.It was brutal,� she said, alsomentioning she was sur-prised as well as pleasedwith how she did.

�I just didn�t want to get

last,� she said of her expec-tations. �I wasn�t expect-ing to do that good. I justwent for it.�

Now Agustin plans tomove to Mississauga inorder to pursue her passionfor track and field. Al-though she can only train afew months of the year inthis region, she hopes totrain year-round in South-ern Ontario.

�These people train allyear,� she said, referring toathletes who dedicate theentire year to the sport. �Uphere I train a solid twomonths, which isn�t thatgreat.�

She said there is a lot ofwork to do in order to chasedown her goal of becom-ing a top athlete.

�I need to work onstrengthening my core, domore weightlifting,� shesaid. �I need to increasemy speed.�

Aspiring athlete pleased with performance at recent meet

Sioux soccer season wraps uplar season in third place,but couldn�t manage to doas well as in previous yearsby finishing in first or sec-ond place. They played theBreezers last Thursday inDryden in the semi-finals,losing 3-2.

The Strikers managed tokeep the game tied 2-2 be-fore the Breezers pulledahead by scoring a goaland securing their victory.

�We�ve usually placedfirst or second in our pastfour years as a team,� ex-plained Striker NicoleCarnochan. �So obviously,this wasn�t our best sea-son.�

Despite their lower-

than-usual placing,Carnochan seemed pleasedwith the way the team per-formed in both the regularseason and the playoffs.

�We had a good season,we enjoyed ourselves,� shesaid, adding that shethought the last game wasfought well. �It was a closegame. Both teams playedstrong.�

Al Shaw, who plays forthe Legionnaires, saidoverall they had a goodseason. The team finishedthe regular season in thirdplace. According to him,they may have failed tocapture the championshipfor a second year in a row,

but that didn�t reflect theirperformance in the lastgame.

�We did pretty good,�he said. �I don�t think welost the game. The end re-sult was just that we didn�twin the championship.�

The final game was tied0-0 up until the last tenminutes when a penaltyshot was awarded to theDrillers for a hand-ball.

�It was a close gameprior to that, but after that itthrew everybody off,�Shaw said.

A second penalty shotwas awarded to Drydensoon after, putting the gameout of reach for the Le-gionnaires.

BEFORE long, localbait dealers won�tbe able to supply

leeches from sources out-side Canada.

A ban on importingleeches for commercial usewill be in effect in 2005,but already has some localbait dealers changing theirscheme of operations in or-der to meet the change inregulation. Bait dealers pre-dict the ban, implementedby the MNR to ensureharmful foreign species anddiseases aren�t introducedinto Ontario�s natural habi-tat, will make it hard tokeep up with the demand

for leeches, a popularchoice for catching wall-eye and lake trout. Accord-ing to one bait dealer,leeches are a favoriteamong the many anglerswho visit from the UnitedStates.

�It won�t change thingsmuch for residents,� saidAl Lago, owner of Al�sSports Excellence in SiouxLookout, mentioning thepopular local choice forfishing is minnows.

However, he said manytourists who come fromsouth of the border enjoyusing leeches. Bait dealersalready have a hard timekeeping up with that de-mand. Although there aresome local trappers, most

of the leeches are importedfrom outside the province.Lago said when leechesaren�t allowed to bebrought in from outside,the quality in leeches thatanglers are used to coulddecline, and may driveprices up.

�I don�t know how we�llbe able to keep up withdemand,� Lago said. �It�sjust not easy to keep upthrough local trappers.�

At this time of the year,the leech supply has almostcompletely run out, Lagosaid, explaining they�reusually only good for abouttwo and a half months ofthe fishing season.

He pointed to the BaitAssociation, which is try-

ing to get the MNR todelay the ban until 2010 inorder to give bait dealerstime to adjust. However,Lago questioned thenecessity of the ban in thefirst place. He said theremight be other ways toensure disease isn�t broughtinto Ontario throughforeign species, such asbetter ways to transportthe leeches in cleanerenvironments.

The ban could result inmore anglers switching tominnows, Lago said, or inbait dealers expanding theirtrapping in local ponds. He

was doubtful, though, ifthere were enough localponds to sustain the de-mand.

�The demand is there,but not the supply.�

Deborah Bernier, co-owner of J&D Baits (for-merly known as BernierBaits) is already adaptingto the change. She believesthere could be enough lo-cal leeches to meet theneeds of fishers, but itwould mean expandingtrapping operations.

�We�ve already beentrapping our own,� Berniersaid, adding that next year

the business plans on step-ping up their own trappingoperations in order to be-come independent fromimporters. �Our son enjoys(trapping leeches). We�vealways trapped ourselvesto keep up with the de-mand.�

Now it�s a matter of get-ting ready for the 2005import ban by preparing inadvance. She�s confidentthat they will be able tokeep leech users happywithout relying on the im-ports.

�There are a lot of (lo-cal) leeches,� she said. �It�sjust a matter of getting thepeople to trap them.�

INDIAN Affairs andNorthern DevelopmentMinister Robert Nault

answered a $100,000 dol-lar question last week whilein Balmertown. The fed-eral investment is favorablenews for six remote FirstNation communities as itmay speed up eventual all-season road access, if astudy is deemed feasible.

�This funding will kick-start the planning towardsthe development of allweather roads in the re-gion, and is just the begin-ning of better things tocome for the First Nationsinvolved,� said ProjectCoordinator RossMamakeesic with North-ern Roads First NationsTransportation Authority-the organization preparingto conduct the study.

Consisting of Sandy

Lake First Nation and fivemembers of KeewaytinookOkimakinak, includingDeer Lake, North SpiritLake, Poplar Hill,Keewaywin andMcDowell Lake, the groupis hoping to embark on thestudy and inevitably sub-mit a proposal for consid-eration by provincial andfederal governments.

A press release from In-dian and Northern AffairsCanada related last week that

�funding is conditional onthe Transportation Author-ity working with regionalofficials to finalize the de-tails of the proposed study.�

Nault declared, �Thisproject is a significant firststep in the process of even-tually putting more wealthand opportunities withinreach of remote First Na-tion communities.�

No specific dates or dol-lar amounts have been re-leased in respect to the study.
