packed Town Beach was filled with the sounds of laughter and joy as community members and out of town guests took part in Canada Day activities on July 1. Mayor Doug Lawrance thanked the Sioux Lookout Lions Club for hosting Canada Day celebrations. He shared with those in attendance, “Canada is a wonderful place to live and Sioux Lookout is one of the best parts of Canada, so welcome, and enjoy Canada’s Day at the Town Beach.” Lawrance and his wife Cherry later served a special Canada Day cake prepared by Althea George. Bouncy castles, games, face painting, and a fireworks show at dusk were all

IXTEEN participants have traveled to Sioux Lookout from across the globe to participate in the annual Rotary canoe trip. “The rotary canoe trip is something that we’ve done for around 27 years now. We usually get around 16 participants. This year we have ten young woman and six young men along with four local people going with them as leaders,” said International Youth Camp chair Susan Barclay. This year’s participants are representing Denmark, France, Taiwan, Mexico,
Wales, Netherlands, Switzerland, Brazil, Czech Republic, England, Norway and Hungary. When asked about what brought them on the trip, the participants mentioned the adventurous and appealing element of canoeing in Canada. “I was looking for adventure. I’ve never been to Canada, so I thought why not?” said Nico Mueller, who is from Switzerland. “Canoeing in Canada is a bucket list type of experience for me. I couldn’t not sign up,” said Libby Jones from Wales. “I saw canoeing in Canada as an option, and it

The International Youth Camp webpage describes the trip and the participants two week schedule, “The participants arrive on Wednesday. They are billeted with Rotary families.

Northwestern Health Unit urges public to stay safe in harmful heat Jesse Bonello Staff Writer
T
HE Northwestern Health Unit (NWHU) is urging the public to stay safe in the heat throughout the summer. The NWHU released a statement on June 21 that provided instructions and tips on how to stay safe this summer in northwestern Ontario. The statement instructions listed seeking shade, wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated as key steps to staying safe in the summer sun. The statement read, “The NWHU is encouraging residents and visitors to spend time getting active and exploring the great outdoors. Whether you are hitting the trails, out on the water, playing at a park, or having fun at the beach there are things you can do to ensure you, your family and friends stay safe.”
NWHU health promoter with environmental health Stephanie Charles said in the statement, “…Too much heat and too much sun can be dangerous.” This statement has become all too true as residents dealt with harmful rays last weekend. The town dealt with a three day heat event that ended with severe heat and thunderstorm warnings on July 8. The forecast from the 9-15 is filled with lots of sun and temperatures creeping into the 30s. The Weather Network said the heat warning was issued because it posed an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion. The NWHU says
that symptoms of heat illness include: dizziness, weakness, fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, confusion, extreme thirst and rapid breathing/heartbeat. Charles said staying hydrated and keeping cool are key factors to avoiding heat illnesses. “Make sure you pack essential items to keep you hydrated like water. You’ll also need items that’ll help you stay cool in the sun like a hat, some sunglasses, white clothing and some sunscreen,” said Charles. The NWHU deals mainly with people, but they mentioned that shade and access to water are important when it comes to keeping your pets safe in the summer sun. She also said algae can
be harmful for pets later in the summer. “For pets, shade and access to water are top priorities. You’ll also want to watch for algae if you take your dog swimming. Later in the season you can get the blue-green algae blooms, which can be harmful for both people and animals but animals are more likely to be exposed,” Charles explained.

EDITORIAL
Part II: Spring parliamentary session comes to a close Summer is in full swing and I am thrilled to be back spending all of my time in the riding speaking with fellow Northerners. There is nothing quite like summer in Northwestern Ontario. Last week, I touched on some of the federal government’s achievements since coming into power in 2015. I would like to continue highlighting some of the important work we have done. As I am sure everyone
has heard by now, thanks to the hard work of both Chambers of Parliament, the Cannabis Task Force, along with input from all Canadians, we have passed historic legislation that will legalize and strictly regulate the sale of cannabis in Canada. While we have a few steps left before legalization, including an implementation phase, it is, nonetheless, a transformative piece of legislation. We know that our previous model of prohibition failed to keep our children safe.
That is why this new legislation will place strict penalties on those who make cannabis available to youth under the legal age, while allowing adults to legally purchase, grow and use a limited quantity of cannabis. It is important to remember that our existing laws are still in place until they are repealed and replaced on October 17, 2018. In the meantime, the government will continue with public education initiatives to help Canadians understand the new legal framework for cannabis, including legalization timelines. Another extremely important action we took to stand up for Canadians was to impose countermeasures in response to the U.S.
Government continues to support seniors, families, and communities in the North Summer is in full swing and I have been busy travelling the riding, speaking with Northerners about the important issues in our region. It’s clear that we need to invest into infrastructure in order to improve our roads and airports, internet access, and provide more affordable and accessible housing. Recently, I attended the Northern Housing Summit in Sioux Lookout which brought together federal, provincial, municipal, and First Nation leaders, along with key stakeholders and
organizations, to discuss the housing challenges in Northwestern Ontario. It was encouraging to see so many parties committed to providing every Northerner access to a place they can call home. The 2016 Census shows that, for the first time ever, there are more seniors than children living in Canada. By restoring the eligibility age for Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 67 back to 65 two years ago, more seniors are able to access their much deserved retirement benefit earlier. In addition, both OAS and GIS benefits now have automatic enrolments as part
of the government’s commitment to service improvement for pension benefits. Implementing GIS automatic enrolment means that each month, up to 17,000 seniors who turn 64 years old on or after December 1, 2017, are automatically enrolled for the GIS benefit. As of July 1, OAS benefits have also been increased. The increase means that a single senior receiving OAS and the GIS, with no other income, will be eligible to receive $1,487 a month for an annual total of $17,854. That’s $1,728 more than would have been received in November 2015. Keeping in line with the needs of Canadians, the Canada Child Benefit

decision to impose illegal tariffs on Canadian exports. These countermeasures were necessary and equally match those by the U.S. government. This was a necessary action in order to protect the Canadian steel and aluminum industry, as well as workers and their families. This decision was not taken lightly and let me assure you that we will not back down until this issue is resolved fairly. To further protect the interests of Canadian workers and businesses in these industries, the Government of Canada will also invest $2 billion as well as an additional $250 million to provide support through the Strategic Innovation Fund. This will help bolster the
competitiveness of Canadian manufacturers and better integrate the Canadian supply chain of steel and aluminum. Additional measures include; extending the duration of worksharing agreements by 38 additional weeks under the Employment Insurance program to help employers retain their skilled workforce and avoid layoffs during challenging times. Canada will also increase funding to provinces and territories to make more job and training programs available to workers affected by these unfair U.S. measures. I remain as committed as ever to seeing the North continue to grow and prosper. We have made significant progress, and there is a lot more to do.
(CCB) continues to help hard-working families provide the best start in life for their children. More than 7,000 families receive the CCB in our riding every month, for a total of more than $6 million. The benefit supports close to 15,000 children in our region. On July 20, 2018, the CCB will increase again to keep up with the cost of living. This change comes two years ahead of schedule and will give parents even more money each month to help them provide for their children. This means that the CCB, for the 2018-19 benefit year, will now have a maximum annual benefit of $6,496 per child under age 6, and $5,481 per child age
6 through 17. As an example, a single parent earning a household income of $35,000 with two children under the age of 6 , will see an increase of $560 yearly to help defray the costs of raising children for the 2019-20 benefit year. For this parent, this means $12,992 in support annually. For more information on how much you are entitled to or how to register for the CCB, please contact my office at 1-866-710-0008. These are just a couple examples of how we are continuing to support seniors, families, Northerners and all Canadians. We are stronger as a country, region, and community, when we take care of one another.

36th Annual Sioux Lookout Blueberry Festival fast approaching Tim Brody Editor
B
LUEBERRY Festival time is almost upon us; a time of friends, family, and lots of fun! Sioux Lookout Blueberry Festival coordinator Maddie Mesich said this year’s festival is shaping up to be great. “I think, as of now, we have more events than we had last year. We’re just working on finalizing the schedule,” she explained.
This year’s festival boasts approximately 125 events, including new events and old favourites. New this year are a balloon prize drop by Slate Falls Airways, a children’s bird walk, a Blueberry trivia event, and possibly, a murder mystery dinner theatre. Mesich said she and assistant coordinator Hannah Willms have encouraged event organizers to think about teenagers and young adults when planning
their events, as they said the festival traditionally has a lot to offer young children and adults. “One new event this year that I think would appeal to that age group is an escape room… There is also a junior golf tournament for ages 18 and under, triathlons and the Sioux Mountain Music Festival.” Returning festival favourites include the home, trade and craft show, firefighters parade and kids day, bocce tournament, men’s and
ladies’ Blueberry open golf tournaments, beach volleyball, triathlon events, the Rotary Blueberry pancake breakfast, as well as Legion steak BBQs. Also back this year is the biggest blueberry contest being sponsored by Drayton Cash and Carry. People are invited to bring their blueberries to the Festival office, at the Travel Information Centre, to be weighed. Businesses and organizations are also encouraged to show

their Blueberry Festival pride by participating in this year’s window decoration contest. Mesich invited children to attend Blueberry Festival mascot Blueberry Bert’s Birthday Party on Saturday, August 4. This year’s festival, running from August 3-12, has a superhero/ comic book theme and Mesich mentioned Spiderman and Batman have been invited to help Bert celebrate his special day. The schedule of events for this year’s festival will be coming out later this month. Mesich and Willms invited festival goers to stay up to date on everything festival related via their website, w w w. b l u e b e r r y b e r t . com and on Facebook at Sioux Lookout Blueberry Festival. “On our Facebook page we’ve been posting updates about things that are new to the festival and things to look for. For instance our t-shirts being sold here (at the Travel Information Centre) and our partnership with Hub Transit this year... We’re hoping to put all of the scheduled events on our website as well,” Mesich informed. Festival t-shirts are available at the Travel Information Centre. Mesich and Willms, both university students, are excited to be coordinating this year’s festival. “I’ve always enjoyed
the Blueberry Festival and it’s a job I’d wanted to do before. I applied and ended up getting it. Community engagement is something I’m really interested in,” Mesich shared. Both young ladies bring quite a bit of knowledge to their positions. “I’ve been involved with Cedar Bay Day Camp for a while, so I’ve done a lot of programming and planning, especially for children. When I was younger I attended a lot of Blueberry Festival events as well. I was involved in putting on some events too,” Mesich said. Willms shared, “Similar to Maddie I grew up in Sioux Lookout. I’d experienced the Blueberry Festival and how fun it was and I was really interested in taking on a job that would allow me to develop new skills in organization, collaborating with community members, various businesses and organizations. It’s a very valuable skill to have and also a really great way to contribute to the community of Sioux Lookout.” She added, “I also was involved with Cedar Bay Day Camp in the past. That gave me a lot of experience with problem solving, planning for children, and working as a team with other people.” “We’re just really excited and we hope

Katy Sayers said $15 from each ticket was donated to Jackie and Tyler Bernier’s daughter as well as Candice Goretzki’s granddaughter who have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. “I was really hoping for the sellout, but I was really happy with the 44 tickets we sold.

crowd and the number of vendors who participated. “Today we have 18 vendors and every market has only grown in size. The vendors enjoy it and they say that the people in this community are really nice and welcoming. We have returning customers that remain loyal to their favourite vendors,” explained Raynard. So far, there’s been one market in April, two markets in May and two in June. The upcoming
schedule has one more market in July, three more markets in August and two more in September. Some changes to this year’s market include the addition of a crossing guard to help people cross the busy street to get to the Travel Information Centre where the markets take place. There’s also a door prize that everyone has a chance to win. “Some new things that we’re doing this year are we have the crossing guard now to help people
across the street. We also have a door prize now. Each vendor contributes something to the door prize and everybody gets a free door prize ballot,” said Raynard. The group of returning vendors continues to grow at the farmer’s markets. Vendors share that it’s a very friendly atmosphere. “We’re all friends. We love the out of town vendors because we wouldn’t be much of a market without
them,” said Pat from Pat’s Artisan Bread. She finished with praises for the market location. She said she likes the fact that they’re located at the Travel Information Centre because the busy road gives the market more exposure. “This is a good site because people coming in and out of town can see that something is going on. It’s a great location," she concluded. The next market will be on July 20 and guests
will have the chance to win a door prize with products from Homegrown

the ticket sales and we made $510 through gifting paintings for $10 donations, so in total we raised $1170 for the two girls,” she continued. Sayers mentioned that a lot of the medications for cystic fibrosis aren’t covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) so patients and their families have a lot of medical and travel expenses. Sayers also said that she received good feedback from the event participants. “Everyone seemed
to love it. At one point in the night I asked them if they wanted us to come back and they answered with a loud, ‘yeah!’” said Sayers. In a post on Facebook following the event, Candice Goretzki said, “I would highly recommend attending or contacting Katy to host your own paint night. This was a great fundraiser and the money made will help with medical needs of the girls.” The event was successful not only for
the families receiving the fundraising but for the community as well. Sayers said Paint Nite was able to drop off 16 paintings to residents at the extended care unit in Sioux Lookout. “We dropped off 16 paintings that we had at the extending living centre here in Sioux Lookout for the residents there, so we’re glad to see them getting some art out of this too. We’re happy we were able to be a part of this awesome event,” Sayers concluded.

Sioux Lookout hosts Bontrager family singers as part of 2018 summer tour Jesse Bonello Staff Writer
S
IOUX Lookout is one of many tour stops for the Bontrager family singers this summer. The family band performed for residents at the Town Beach on June 27. Their last concert in Sioux Lookout was five years ago. “We had them up here in 2013 as part of the Blueberry Festival.
It went over really well at that time, and it was impressive to see their big family perform. This time, they contacted us to come back up here because they were in Dryden for their tour the night before,” explained Susan Hochstedler, who helped organize the concert. Hochstedler is familiar with the family because she is secondcousins with Marlin
Bontrager who leads the family band, which includes his ten children and his wife Becky. Hochstedler said she was shocked by the number of residents who remembered the Bontragers from their first visit in 2013. “I was surprised at how many people remembered them from five years ago. Everybody that was there that evening enjoyed it. People were
happy because the group makes a good effort to interact with the crowd after the show,” she said. The Bontragers tour all across Canada, the United States and Mexico singing gospel music. When they’re not touring, the family lives in the smalltown of Kalona, Iowa, which has a population of just over 2,500 people. Hochstedler said the family feels at home in a small-town
environment and they carry good memories of Sioux Lookout from their experience performing at the Blueberry Festival. “They love the smalltown feel and they like the area up here. They even remember the first time they came to town in 2013. The family mentioned that they miss going blueberry picking and fishing from when they were first up here,” said Hochstedler.
The Bontragers are performing throughout Ontario until July 9, which is when they start to take their tour to the U.S. with stops in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan. To see tour dates, buy their music, donate to their family ministry or to learn more about the Bontragers, visit their website at https:// bontragerfamilysingers. com/index.html.

Allan Schofield February 15, 1947 June 22, 2018
A
llan Schofield passed away peacefully in his 72nd year at the Meno Ya Win District Health Centre on Friday, June 22, 2018. He is survived by loving wife of 38 years, Lynne
(nee Grasley), daughters, Tina Schofield, Anne Reid (Chad) Sioux Lookout, Lisa Schofield (Chris) Cambridge, ON and Susan Howden (Paul) Grimsby, UK. Proud grandfather of Melanie (Derek), Brandon (Molly), Nathan, Emma and Cooper and great grandfather of Ryker. Allan is also survived by sister Judy Gibson (David) and family of Rothesay, NB, sisters-in-law, Shelley Grasley of Sault Ste. Marie, ON and Irene Grasley and family of London, ON. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii February 15, 1947 to Don and Rosie (nee Fenton) Schofield, the family moved back to Saint John, NB when Allan was 18 months old and settled in the village of Renforth where he spent his childhood. While attending Rothesay
Collegiate he played rugby, lacrosse, badminton and hockey. Life after high school included working for the Bank of Nova Scotia, Indian Affairs, Iron Range Bus Lines and for a time the ‘milk man” at Johnny’s. Being a kid himself Allan loved celebrating birthdays and Christmas with his family. It wasn’t so much about the presents as it was the ‘anticipation’. He had a few special Teddy bears that had names and some even travelled with him. Allan enjoyed reading Robert Munsch stories to elementary school children, driving little kids on the school bus, being Wise Owl as a Brownie leader, watching kids play and having coffee with friends.
As an avid gardener and Green Bay Packers fan Allan could always be seen leaning on a shovel, wearing a pair of work gloves and a Green Bay Packers cap. He also loved to go for ‘drive’ and believed that it was all about the journey and not the destination. Allan joined the Sioux Lookout Masonic Lodge #518 in 1985 and throughout the years served as Master of five different Masonic bodies in NW Ontario/Manitoba. He was also a Shriner. His dedication to Free Masonry was shown in the sometimes great distance he drove to attend various meetings. Allan’s legacy will live on in the traditions he established with his family such as
colouring at the kitchen table, decorating the yard for young and old to enjoy on Halloween and Christmas, handing out candy canes to those working on Christmas Eve, throwing the coloured water on to the snow after decorating Easter eggs and opening Christmas presents one person at a time. Always the optimistic Allan saw the bright side of any situation and loved to make people smile, laugh or just feel better with a quip that just popped into his head or a ‘what’s this’ joke. Allan was one of a kind and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at the Meno Ya Win DHC and especially Dr. Giles, Denise and Jeremy for their compassion, care and
kindness. A Masonic Memorial Service was held on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at the Sioux Lookout Funeral Home with Brethren coming from Thunder Bay, Kenora, Dryden, as well as Sioux Lookout. A Church Service was held at St. Andrew’s United Church on Wednesday, June 27, 2018 followed by a luncheon provided by the UCW. Internment of ashes in Northway Cemetery will be at a later date. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Trans Canada Trail, Cancer Society or the Charity of your choice through the Sioux Lookout Funeral Home, Box 1449, Sioux Lookout, ON P8T 1B9.

Visit to Sioux Lookout like returning home for former exchange student
F
Tim Brody Editor
OR Australia’s Richard Ebbs, a recent five day visit to Sioux Lookout felt like coming home. Ebbs was a Rotary exchange student in Sioux Lookout between January of 1984 and January of 1985. He attended Queen Elizabeth District High School during his one year exchange. “I spent six months with the Drew's (Reg and Edna). Three months at the start of my stay and three months at the end and then spent some time with three other families when I was here,” Ebbs shared. He said returning to Sioux Lookout brought back a flood of fond memories. “Just a terrific experience; its great coming back. That was over 30 years ago and it’s amazing how much I recollect of the year here. You wouldn’t think as a 15-16 year old you’d have such clear memories… but I remember everything so, so well; such a great experience.” “We had a Canadian exchange student at my
high school… and that sort of got me interested in Canada,” he said of the exchange. “The funny story about that is, this is pre Google days, we grabbed our encyclopedia at home and grabbed a map of Canada and couldn’t find Sioux Lookout. Thunder Bay was on the map and Winnipeg was on the map, but no Sioux Lookout. “For me to go home to Australia and to have had a year in Canada in such a fantastic and unique environment and had some experiences that a lot of Canadians haven't had the chance to experience was just such a special thing for me. It was great. While I was here I did enormous amounts of fishing, ice fishing, hunting, and skidooing, and boating, and waterskiing, and snowshoeing, and all of these sorts of things the kids who went to Winnipeg or Toronto, they never got to experience those things.” His friendship with a former Sioux Lookouter who now lives in Australia, Don Eady, rekindled his desire to return. “My kids are now
12 and 10, so I wanted to come at an age they would remember coming on a holiday to Canada,” he added. Ebbs said he remembers the Drew’s fondly and wanted to see them again as well. Ebbs and his children visited the Town Beach for Canada Day celebrations, something they thoroughly enjoyed. “This is actually winter holidays in Australia. I had great memories of Canada and Sioux Lookout being hot and warm and being at the beach and on the water, so it was sort of deliberate… I’ve never forgotten Canada Day so it was really fortuitous that I planned the trip to be here in Sioux on Canada Day. It’s lovely to be back.” He stated proudly he still recalls the Canadian National anthem word for word. Some things in town have changed over the years he said; other things have stayed the same. “Sioux Lookout has grown since I was here last. The population’s bigger. The town’s as vibrant as it was. Little things have changed,
but it surprised me how much I remembered from my time here. I think fundamentally it’s about the people, just reconnecting. I was off with some high school buddies yesterday and spent time with the families I was here with, so as much as the town may have changed a bit, the people haven’t. It’s so nice to see people after such a long time and having had such great memories of them,” he shared. Asked what he enjoys so much about Sioux Lookout he confided, “I think its small town. People look after each other, there’s a sense of being a tight community here and that hasn’t been lost. You get that sense coming back here that it’s a very tight community and people look after each other. It’s really nice to be back in that environment.” He went on to add, “One of my great memories of being here is the water… I’ve organized a fishing trip tomorrow. We’ll have a shore lunch while we’re out and go swimming. That’s one of the special memories that I have and one of the things we’ll be doing while I’m here.”

Ebbs said it’s been amazing to experience Canada again with his children. “My son and my daughter have said that Canada feels like home to them. I think there’s a lot of similarities between Canadians and Australians.” Lucas Ebbs, 12, said he was having a great time visiting Sioux Lookout. He said he and his sister really enjoyed Canada Day celebrations, adding he was really looking forward to the day on the water his father had planned. Sophie Ebbs, 10, commented of Canada Day, “It’s really fun.”
She said of her visit to Sioux Lookout, “Everybody’s so nice and they’re always positive.” Reg and Edna Drew said it was wonderful to have Richard visit with his family. “We enjoyed having him here very much (as an exchange student). A fine young man,” Reg said recalling Ebb’s time with he and his wife. “We’re so excited to have him here now. It was just like a child coming home,” Edna said. “The kids are very helpful. It’s great. It’s just like he came home. That’s what it feels like,” Reg agreed.

Szabo from Hungary. On Tuesday, July 17, participants will be preparing a dish for the International Night potluck dinner. The potluck provides flavours from all the represented countries, and it’s a night that the group looks forward to as it marks the end of the trip. “Tuesday the 17 we
