Frosty temperatures are supposed to be leaving us this
week so I have decided to hold
off un-decorating my farm
buildings for a few more days.
I dread the darkness of the
yard without all the Christmas
lights anyway. I certainly have
been noticing how we are seeing more and more daylight
each day again and that is a
welcome sight. And despite
these colder temperatures the
sun sure makes the day seem a
bit more pleasant. My cows
enjoy the sunny days since
they are still nestled in the
bush out of the wind but the
sun beats down on them.
Some mornings when Roxee
and I walk on one of their
many trails they create to venture home for water we find
them with frosty noses but all
happily chewing their cuds. It
is a comforting sight. They are
likely much cozier there than
they will be in a couple of
weeks when I bring them
home to prepare for calving.
Our due date is February 12th.
I have a few less cows to calve
this year but it will still mean
plenty of trips to the barn, lots
of shoveling and lack of sleep.
Maddie and Marlee returned
from their Christmas Florida
vacation last week and ventured out to the country for the
weekend. It was 3 weeks
since we had seen them and
we had a lot of catching up to
do! They had lots of stories
and experiences to share with
us. We did some farming,
snowmobiling and of course
crafting. We did end up creating some pretty cute “blue jean
jewelry” and Marlee was determined we should be sharing
our creations on Pinterest. I
need to re-stock some of my
supplies before we have another weekend like this.

the Lambert family as they
had to say good-bye to Chuck
last week. I met Chuck as I
entered Grade 9 and I don’t
think I knew of a friendlier
person. Chuck seemed to like
everyone and had many people call him their friend;
young, old, town & country.
Many of my farmer friends
loved working and playing
with Chuck after meeting him
through working at the mill.
He was a treasure and will be
missed by many.

and they had the full period to
decorate their hallway to a
theme of their choice! All of
the hallways looked amazing,
the participation was fantastic!
It was a great way to start the
week. On Tuesday we had Secret Santa handouts and “be
your own Christmas tree”.
Wednesday was wear a Santa

Margaret Agnes Livingston
Peggy passed in the afternoon of January 9, 2015 at the
Rainy River Hospital, Rainy
River, Ontario, surrounded by
her family and close friends.
Margaret "Peggy" was born
in Carnduff, Saskatchewan on
March 31, 1925 to Joseph and
Agnes Little. Peggy trained to
become a teacher in Moose
Jaw, Saskatchewan. She
taught in small country
schools in Saskatchewan and
later in the Rainy River District. She was an active volunteer in the Rainy River Royal
Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary, Rainy River Hospital
Auxiliary, Women's Institute,
and the Rainy River Knox
United Church.
Peggy's favorite hobby was
quilting, with a close second
of scrap booking. Every family member has received one
of her hand crafted quilts. She
will also be remembered for
her beautiful penmanship,
dedication to community service and her love of teaching
children.
She will be lovingly remembered by her children Les
(Rosalind) of Keewatin, ON,
Betty (Greg) Guenin of Aberdeen, South Dakota, Bonny
Hodgins (late Gerry) of Newington, ON and Monica (Bob)
Seguin of Quesnel, B.C.; her
grandchildren Michelle Livingston (Dustin Shore), Blair
Livingston, Julia Livingston;
Terre Guenin; Andrea Hodgins
(Jeff Ault), Matthew (Jackie)
Hodgins, Mark Hodgins;
Nicole (Jacob) Hunter, Yvonne
Seguin, Raeley Seguin, and
great grandchildren Victoria
Guenin and Jaden Shore.
Peggy is also survived by sister-in-law Nancy Larke, numerous nieces and nephews
and many close members of
the Penner and Hughes families.
Peggy was predeceased by
her husband Elgin (1985), her
parents Joseph and Agnes Little, infant sister Jean, brothers
Jim (Audrey) and Willy Little,
son in law Gerry Hodgins and
special friend Wallace "Bub's"
Hughes.
A celebration of Peggy's life
will be held on Friday January
16, 2015 at 11 a.m. at the
Rainy River Knox United
Church, with Rev Frances
Flook officiating. Interment
will take place in Blue Cemetery at a later date.
Following the service the
family invites everyone to
share stories and memories at
a luncheon at the Legion.
If desired memorial donations may be made in Peggy's
memory to the Rainy River
Hospital, Rainy River Knox

Nutrition Notes by Gabriel Mooney
This time of year can bring
extra stress and tension to our
lives. Realizing we spent more
than we wanted while shopping,
frustration with our diet over the
past month and finally the hassle of getting back into our normal routine of life can all
contribute to that stress. Eating
healthy during this time can
seem to be a fairy tale at best.
It may seem that we don’t
have control of anything, but
eating is something we have full
control over. Eating healthy is
your choice, even if it means
tightening the screws on your
budget and your schedule. Follow some of these tips to eat
healthy.
#1) Plan for eating: Whether
we like it or not, we all need to
take time to eat. Planning for it
will make it less stressful and
allow us to make healthier
choices. By planning, the health
of meals increases and allows
you to think of ways to include
whole grains, lean protein, fruits
and vegetables for everyone’s
taste.
#2) Stock Up: A tip is to stock
up on only healthy foods. When
there are staple foods on sale,
make sure to buy beyond what
you would need while allowing
the foods to be used within their
shelf life. Some examples include cereal, crackers, pastas,
frozen vegetables, frozen meat
and canned items. Look for
items that you can freeze for
later. This will increase the likeliness for you to eat the food on
hand rather than less healthy options. You can only eat what you
buy so healthy eating at home
starts in your grocery cart.
#3) Batch Cook: Making more
food than is needed for one
meal is a must when you are
pressed for time, on a tight
budget and want to eat healthy.
This can take some planning
when looking into your week
and month ahead, but it is well
worth it. Make extra food and
portion it out for meals later, put
some in the fridge and freezer
according to your plan. Aim for
at least three portions of each
meal allowing one for the current meal, one for the fridge and
one to put in the freezer. It is
less time consuming to make a
larger portion of something one
time than many smaller portions
multiple times.
Some meals that are a good fit
for batch cooking are whole
wheat spaghetti with no sugar
added pasta sauce and a little
parmesan cheese to top it off.
You can add some lean ground
turkey or beef if you desire and
your budget allows. Another
meal is brown rice and beans
(no added salt from the can or
cooked dry beans) with frozen
stir fry veggies and reduced
sodium soy sauce. Chili made
with plenty of beans, homemade soups made with low
sodium broth and a plethora of
veggies and pot roasts can also
be great options when looking
to prepare extra food for the
fridge and freezer. Cook extra
skinless chicken breasts or extra
wild rice, as these items can be
put to use in a variety of dishes
for later. You can also give
whole wheat and oatmeal waffles or pancakes with light syrup
a try.
#4) Let others help: You can
share the role of preparing and
cooking meals with your family.
Everyone in the family can help
to make meal time, family time.
Depending on the age of family
members, having the whole
family help can speed up the
meal preparation and cleaning
time as well. The bonus of this
is that children learn a life skill,
how to cook healthy meals.
#5) Enjoy: Do you look forward to meal time? Meals
should be something that we
look forward to and enjoy. If
they are viewed with an enjoyable attitude, it will be easier for
meal time to be less stressful.
We eat multiple times a day.
Shouldn’t we want it to be enjoyable?
Following these simple tips
can make meal preparation
manageable, healthy and budget
friendly. It’s ok to be hungry
and in a hurry, because now you
know ways to make your meals
healthy. We need to ensure we
are being taken care of and one
of these ways is by what we eat.
There are always ways to show
yourself some love by loving
what you eat.

Meet the
Muskies
Rylee Redford #9
Rylee Redford is in her second
year with the Fort Frances
Muskie Girls Hockey Team.
She is a grade eleven student
and is nicknamed, Ryles, Red
and Redski. She plays forward
and wears number nine. Her
favourite memory so far in her
hockey career is when she
played the Bantam Boys. “It
was my second year playing
for the competitive bantam
girls (the Leafs) and we ran
them into the ground. It was
great!”
After graduation, Redford
plans to go to attend University in Prince George or Lakehead.
The smart money says he's
going to win.
The organization I work for,
the Canadian Constitution
Foundation, is supporting the
challenge with the help of some
dedicated professionals. Ian
Blue, Q.C. is senior counsel at
the Toronto firm Gardiner
Roberts LLP. He has written
extensively about the constitutionality - or rather, the unconstitutionality - of provincial
liquor laws. Blue has volunteered to act as counsel to
Comeau, along with Comeau's
original New Brunswick
lawyer Mikael Bernard.
Blue says the Fathers of Confederation intended alcohol and indeed all manufactured
and agricultural products - to
flow between the provinces
without barriers such as those
imposed by the Liquor Control
Act. The internal free-trade law
was written right into the constitution in 1867. Section 121
reads: "All Articles of the
Growth, Produce, or Manufacture of any one of the Provinces
shall, from and after the Union,
be admitted free into each of
the other Provinces." At the
time of confederation, internal
free trade was frequently described as one of the major advantages of uniting.
Unfortunately, in a bizarre
1921 case called Gold Seal v.
Attorney General of Alberta,
the Supreme Court of Canada
(SCC) ignored the legislative
history and context of s. 121,
and declared that it prohibited
only customs duties on interprovincial trade, not other
forms of trade barrier.
The biography of then SCC
Justice Lyman Poore Duff discloses that while the Gold Seal
case was under consideration
two of his SCC colleagues
were summoned to a private
meeting with the federal Justice
Minister to discuss the case.
Had this extraordinary secret
political interference with the
court not occurred, interprovincial free trade might well have
been cemented into Canadian
jurisprudence in addition to appearing in the constitution.
Later courts have felt compelled to follow the Gold Seal
precedent.
Consequently,
Canada is now riddled with
rules that divvy up markets for
agricultural products and prevent Ontarians from buying
chickens from Quebec or
cheese
from
Manitoba.
Provinces enact their own
unique rules on manufacturing
standards of items such as vehicle brakes and product packaging, thereby hindering
interprovincial competition and
trade.
Lawyers Blue and Bernard
will attempt to persuade the
New Brunswick court to reconsider the original purpose behind s. 121, reject the
politically-tainted 1921 decision and restore the correct
free-trade interpretation to the
constitution which Sir John A.
Macdonald and his contemporaries intended.
Public opinion against the
provincial alcohol monopolies
has been mounting, recently
spurred on by revelations of a
secret price-fixing deal between the Liquor Control
Board of Ontario and a trio of
privately-owned breweries.
Comeau's case could be the
coup de grace for the ridiculous
restrictions that raise prices and
reduce choices for consumers.
As a non-drinker, I won't be
directly affected by the dismantling of alcohol restrictions, but
I love this case because of its
potential to liberate markets in
other products - for instance,
eggs, poultry and dairy products. Internal trade barriers in
these farm products also increase prices and reduce consumer choice.

director for the Canadian Constitution Foundation, a registered charity that engages in

Dear Editor:
During the last four year
term of council, myself and
many others were dissatisfied
with the representation we got
from our Reeve and Council.
We waited out the four years
and exercised our democratic
right by voting them out and a
new council in.
Why is it then, that the Reeve
voted out is suddenly back as
a representative on the Rainy
River District Social Services
Administration Board?
It is my understanding that
he was appointed by the new
board to represent Rainy River
West (unorganized), as nobody
ran for this seat.
I could understand appointing someone that actually
owns or occupies land in this
area, as is the requirement according to the District Social
Services Act. However, appointing a person that was
voted out of office by the mu-

The Westend Weekly is looking for someone who has an interest in writing to cover the
Fort Frances end of the district. This is a part time job in which you are pretty much your
own boss choosing events to cover and sending in material according to our deadline.
There are some requirements: we are looking for someone with writing skills who enjoys photography, is friendly and outgoing, active in the community, with a positive attitude
about the present and the future of the Rainy River District. We require all submissions to
be sent by email (text and photos) and a sense of humour is a must.
In return I can offer the best compensation I can afford, totally upbeat, enthusiastic
backup staff at the Rainy River office, a working schedule you are comfortable with, and a
promise that we are team players and fun to work with.

Alexis Perreault #11
Alexis Perreault is a 4th year
veteran player with the Fort
Frances Muskie Girls Hockey
Team. She wears the number
eleven and goes by the nickname, Gibert. She is a strong
defensive player and lists her
favourite memories as “playing hockey with the other seniors” and “bus trips”.
Perreault is currently in
grade twelve and plans to pursue post-secondary education
after she graduates.
The Muskie Girls were unable to clinch first place in the
NorWOSSA standings after
losing 4 to 0 to the Dryden Eagles last week.
They played in a Border Battle against the International
Falls Broncos on Monday
night. After an exciting game,
the Broncos scored late in the
third period to win by a score
of 4 to 3. The cross-border rivals will now need a tie
breaker game since the
Muskies beat the Broncos 5 to
2 in an earlier matchup.
The Muskie Girls will be on
the road for a game against St.
Thomas Aquinas Saints in
Kenora on January 14th and
are scheduled for a couple of
home games against the
Kenora Broncos on January
15th (7:15 p.m.) and Silver
Bay High School on January

Beer, wine and liquor consumers, mark your calendars:
May 12, 2015 is when new purchasing options may start opening up for you. That's the date
that was set last week for the
trial of New Brunswick resident Gerard Comeau to commence.
The retired steelworker had
the temerity - or perhaps
merely the naïveté - to think
that he could actually buy several cases of beer in Quebec
(where
it's
significantly
cheaper) and drive them home
to New Brunswick.
Comeau has been charged
with
violating
New
Brunswick's Liquor Control
Act by bringing across the border more beer than the 12-pint
legal limit. He did this dastardly deed more than two
years ago, in October 2012,
under the watchful gaze of several RCMP officers who apparently had nothing more
pressing to do that day than tail
a senior citizen on his beer run.
The officers seized his alcohol and issued a fine of
$292.50, but Comeau doesn't
plan to pay it. He is not your
average beer drinker. He's the
man who is going to make constitutional history by challenging the legality of the Liquor
Control Act.

Associate Director
The Centre for Aboriginal
Policy Studies
The Fraser Institute
In a letter to Richard Price in
1789, Thomas Jefferson wrote
"whenever the people are well
informed, they can be trusted
with their own government; that
whenever things get so far
wrong as to attract their notice,
they may be relied on to set
them to rights." In other words,
an informed electorate possesses the knowledge to hold
their government accountable.
Jefferson understood how citizens and power interact. As do
Canadian First Nations members such as Phyllis Sutherland
who supports the First Nations
Transparency Act. Sutherland,
from Peguis First Nation in
Manitoba, argues that the First
Nations Transparency Act allows "people at the grassroots
level . . . to access information
about their community without
fear of intimidation or reprisal."
The Act requires Chiefs to publicly release the band's audited
financial statements as well as
Chief and Councillors salaries;
informing First Nations members how their band finances
are managed and informing
Canadian taxpayers how their
tax dollars are being spent.
Some have argued that the
First Nations Transparency Act
requires the disclosure of sensitive information. However, it
merely extends to First Nations
politicians what is required of
all other levels of government
and politicians in Canada: the
disclosure of salaries and financial statements. For example,
the Manitoba Municipal Act requires the financial statements
of municipalities to show "the
amount of compensation, expenses and any other payment
made to each person who is a
member of the council."
The importance of this disclosure may be lost on those who
do not live on a reserve. But as
aboriginal author Calvin Helin
states: "community members . .
. have no practical ability to
pursue the kinds of information
related to transparency and accountability that all other Canadians take for granted." The
First Nations Transparency Act
attempts to provide an avenue
for First Nations members to
obtain this basic financial information.
So does such disclosure have
a real-world impact in First Nations communities? Members
of the Shuswap First Nation in
British Columbia think so.
They recently decided to not reelect their Chief of over 30
years after audited statements,
now public, showed excessive
spending, unexplained expenses and a Chief's salary in
excess of $200,000 a year. Elsewhere, in Opaskwayak Cree
Nation in Manitoba, band members want answers and change
after audited statements showed
a net increase in debt to $6.2
million from $5 million within
one year, all under the leadership of their Chief, who is the
highest paid Chief in Manitoba
at $130,000 a year.
With an increase in federal
transfers to First Nations communities, this type of transparency and accountability is
needed now more than ever.
The federal government alone
spends more than $10 billion
annually on Aboriginal issues
and spending per First Nations
person in Canada rose more
than 880 per cent over the past
60 years. In comparison, spending per person on all Canadians
rose by 387 per cent.
Most First Nations governments are not akin to Shushwap
and most have also complied
with the new legislation: 538
out of 582 First Nations have
publicly released their salaries
and audited financial statements. As for the remaining 44,
they will now have funding for
non-essential services (such as
Chief and Councillors salaries
worth over $24 million) withheld by the federal government.
It is unclear why the Chiefs of
these 44 communities are
choosing to withhold this information from their electorate and
Canadian taxpayers. It is particularly peculiar that two of these
communities, Weenusk First
Nation and Wuskwi Sipihk
First Nation, previously published their audited financial
statements and have now reversed course. That begs the
question: why are these 44
Chiefs afraid of an informed
electorate?
Perhaps because Jefferson and Phyllis Sutherland - were
right about the power of voters
to set matters aright once informed about the facts.

57 other countries, led by
Switzerland, Germany and
Holland.
Our area desperately needs
these tourists and I am very
grateful for their donations.
During their stay they also
support our local businesses.
I am also grateful to the locals who have helped make a
stand with me for what I do
here. The good folks at Manitou gave their financial support this summer in getting a
found eagle and Coopers
hawk to a rehab centre in
southern Manitoba.
Enterprise Rent a Car
helped to find a 1/2 ton truck
in one day and got me a very
generous price break so that
I could make the trip. The
MNR was also helpful in getting all the red tape ready for
these two birds and the eagle
I brought back for release
east of Kenora.
This is the only rescue,
rehab and release sanctuary
for many, many miles and for
13 years I have been doing it
alone which is far from easy.
But I do it because I know it
is the right thing to do despite some ill informed opposition. "People fear and
misunderstand most what
they understand least."
As an example of the work
I do, on December 15th at
1:30 pm I received an urgent
call from a resident north of
Bergland. A two year old female bear was found in a
large field on Frenchman's
Rock Road almost dead. I
arrived two hours later to
find the animal in terrible
shape, one eye already
cloudy, no strength to even
move her tongue. They had
covered her with a piece of
rug and a blanket but she was
shivering uncontrollably.
I knelt down, stroked her
face, comforting, reassuring
her that I was here to help
and prayed for her.
I tried to put small pieces of
donut into her mouth to try to
get her blood sugar up but
she had no saliva to process
it. I was dealing with hypothermia, dehydration and
starvation and no idea what
else.
I wrapped her up in the
blanket and a friend and I
stuffed her into a prepared
bear barrel and took off, racing home at 90 plus through
Manitou believing that if
Treaty Three stopped me
they would give me an escort
rather than a ticket.
I got her into the building
around 5pm, forced some
honey into her, got the
propane
heater
going,
pumped some water into her
and prayed.
All this activity woke up
Sioux, a this year cub that
had been brought to me two
months earlier half starved. I
called the new bear Hope because that's all she had, hope
and prayer. She should have
been in an emergency clinic
on IV drip and monitored by
pros but that is not available
in our area.
It took three days for her to
stop shivering, get her rehydrated by water injection
under skin and oral.
The next day the family that
found her came to see her

and jumped in purse first
with a small heater and some
propane. I also contacted a
fellow rescuer, Mike MacIntosh of Bearwithus.org,
Sprucedale, ON for advice.
Hope should not still be alive
he told me on Dec. 19 so I
must be doing something
right.
I continued feeding her
every four hours, then at 1:30
on December 19 Hope had a
bowel movement. I was
brought up on a farm and am
no stranger to cleaning up
after farm animals, children
too, and have never found
the experience particularly
pleasant but this was something else. I was so happy to
clean up after Hope and even
to wash her butt!
Hope is still unable to feed
herself and can't move so I
continue to hand feed her and
move her regularly. I also
give her full body massages
and lots of love. She really
likes her face, head and neck
rubbed. She's never tried to
bite me even though I've had
my fingers in her mouth
many times.
I'm hoping she'll have a full
recovery and I can release
her by early summer but I
need some help. I need
propane most of all but there
are other things as well. If
you can help out with anything, please call me at (807)
482-2913 in Emo.

Bullies and victims are opposite
sides of the same coin
The solution to bullying lies
in self-confidence for both
parties.
According to the National
Association of Learning Disabilities: “The average bullying episode lasts only 37
seconds.” However, from my
experience, it doesn't take 37
seconds to say, "You're gay."
or "You suck." or "You're an
idiot." It only takes a second
for a word to hit like a fist.
Then, if the bully sees from
your face that he has connected; he wins and you’re
marked as a victim.
Patricia McDougall writes in
her article for Education.com,
What Happens over Time to
Those Who Bully and Those
Who Are Victimized? “Researchers have found that bullying roles (those who bully
and their victims) remain
fairly stable throughout
school. For example, even
after switching to a new classroom, victims of bullying continued to be victims.”
Children who are overweight, wear glasses, have a
learning disability, or are simply insecure, will often remain
victims because they believe
the taunts and feel shame over
it. Ben Franklin once observed, "The sting in any rebuke is the truth." I know, I
was bullied in 4th and 5th
grade by my classmates calling me “Baby Bobby.” The element of truth was that when
I was a first grader I cried a lot
in class. The name-calling
connected with me because I
still felt shame about it. Making it worse, I believed there
was nothing I could do to
change my victim status in my
classmates’ memory.
As a a result, I was a bully
magnet. It was as if I had a
permanent “Kick Me” sign
taped to my back. Nevertheless, despite my history with
bullies, I have empathy for
them because they are not bullies because they want to be
(and I'm only talking about
children here). Like everyone
else, they want to feel important. They want to be cool and
popular. They want to be liked
and have friends. Unfortunately, they have learned that
they can gain that sense of importance by bullying. Their
bad behavior has been rewarded by their peers, so they
continue to refine what is
working for them. We need to
give them another way to
achieve these ends.
Most likely they learned to
bully at home - where they are
the victims of a sibling or of
their parents. When they pay
it forward, their own victimhood becomes less painful or
debilitating. The degree to
which someone is a bully, a
control freak, narcissist or sociopath is the degree to which
they have been abused. The
more severely abused a person
was - the bigger the bully he
or she becomes. To see examples of this we can look at
Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin,
and Saddam Hussein, all of
whom were severely abused
as children, and in turn grew
up to be tyrants.
People who seek power do
so because they feel powerless. Confident people don't
need power over others. They
have learned to acquire the
things they need through
peaceful communication. The
time to rescue a bully is when
he or she is a child. When they
can still learn more positive
ways to gain a sense of importance.
Bullies and their victims are
opposite sides of the same
coin. The problem for both of
them is essentially the same.
They both crave positive
recognition, but they both lack
self-confidence and the social
skills to acquire what they
need. The solution is twofold:
helping the victim develop
self-confidence, and helping
the bully develop self-esteem.
As a society we can do more
by giving them what they
need.
Previously in this column, I
have written about self-efficacy which is the belief that
we can achieve our goals. I
have found that the more a
child becomes good at something - and it can be just about
anything - the more their overall self-confidence grows. The
more visible their achievements are to their peers, the
better, because kids admire accomplishments. It gives them
"cred."
One of the ways in which we
acquire self-efficacy is from
the encouragement of others.
Teachers, parents, and other
adults who work with children
can do so much to make this
happen. Your praise is more
powerful than you know; it
fortifies victims, and nourishes those who would otherwise become bullies.

Baby it's cold outside! With
that in mind we want to acknowledge the comrades who
support our Friday night meat
draws in spite of the weather.
There will be a wing night
this Friday, see you there!
This being a new year it is
time to organize our various
committees. It was recommended in the past that there
should be at least three or four
people on each committee.
Each committee does not necessarily have to consist of executive members. If you wish
to participate, we will have a
volunteer list posted on the
bulletin board in the Legion.
Hopefully this will lighten
the load for the executive.
