Discussions on the Northeast Superior Enhanced Regional Forest Licence held in Chapleau

O

n February 7, 2014 a meeting was held to discuss the Northeast Superior Enhanced Sustainable Forest License. Participants included representatives from the First Nations, municipalities, industry and government. The Northeast Superior Enhanced Sustainable Forest Licence development process has been underway for the better part of the last five years.

The NSRCF reconciliation agenda is transformative in nature and is comprised of a number of important components that are based on Aboriginal traditional values. This

can be summarized along two lines of thought. First, for the process to be comprehensive, it requires consideration of economic, environmental, social and cultural elements, consistent with the Medicine Wheel. Second, it requires a shift in relationships within First Nations (healing), amongst First Nations (unity) and between these First Nations and industry, the Crown and adjacent municipalities.

This transformation agenda will be advanced via the NSRCF work plan, supported by several pilot projects. The first pilot project involves the enhanced sustain-

able forest licence development process which focusses on a retooling of the existing economic relationships between First Nations a n d i n d u s t r y. T h e second involves Michipicoten First Nation's forest management planning project that supports the rebuilding of Aboriginal environmental stewardship responsibilities. The third involves a more prescribed government togovernment relationship between First Nations and the Crown including a resource revenue sharing pilot project and a renewed approach to implementing Ontario's Condition #34 obligations. The

fourth involves a greater level of cooperation between First Nations and municipalities through the development of a joint regional planning council in support of a strengthened social development agenda.

In attendance representing the First Nation were Chief Joe Buckell, Michipicoten First Nation, Chief Keeter Corston, Chapleau Cree First Nation, Chief Jason Gauthier, Missanabie Cree First Nation, Councillor Raymond Medeiros, Hornepayne First Nation (Chief's Proxy), Councillor Marjorie CachageeLee, Chapleau Cree First Nation, Councillor

Norma Caldwell, Chapleau Cree First Nation , Colin Lachance, NSRCF Corporate Secretary, Va n e s s a M o r r i s o n , NSRCF Duty-toConsult Coordinator, Patricia Tangie, NSRCF Cultural Coordinator a n d Ly n n P a l m e r , Lakehead University, NSRCF Researcher.

Municipal representative were as follows: Mayor Linda Nowicki, Municipality of Wawa, Mayor Louise Perrier, To w n s h i p o f Dubreuilville, Chelsea Swearengen, Township of Chapleau and Dan Friyia, Superior East Community Futures Development Corporation. Carlo Bin, Haavaldsrud, ,Wade

“I am honoured to have been selected

as the new Executive Director of the Ontario N a t i v e Wo m e n ’s Association,” says Corston. “Having previously worked with NWAC, I am familiar with, and inspired by, the great work that ONWA does for Aboriginal women.

Letters to the Editor Bullying Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or p h y s i c a l p o w e r.

Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets (Wikipedia).

Bullying is a serious issue that affects everyone and anyone regardless of y o u r a g e , g e n d e r, profession, culture, etc.

In the beginning, I debated on whether or not to write this letter.

The more I thought about it the more I felt the need to do so considering my profession as a mental health worker. I see far too many children being a victim of bullies. Bullying is an issue everywhere and it is very difficult to manage. As a clinician, I teach children to be more confident; to avoid ignoring the bully; to try an avoid the bully; to stick up for yourself; to refuse to

believe what the bully says as it gives him/her more power; to use best judgment; to use humor; and to use selfdefense as a last resort.

I am writing this letter to let others know that I know what it's like to be bullied as I am a current victim and it is very challenging to manage as an adult and more importantly as a child if you do not have the support you so desperately require.

My bully is trying to use force to intimidate others into believing her perception of the person she thinks I am.

This bully has managed to coerce others to follow her and believe that they know who I am. Bullies are really good at this and this is how they get their power. This bully has verbally harassed me many times and is now using creative ways to sabotage my life by focusing on my career and my involvement with the community which ends up affecting my personal life.

Children I've serviced who are being bullied often tell me that telling an adult does not work and that it only increases the bullying and guess what? They are absolutely right. As an adult and being a victim of bullying, I tried telling an 'adult' or in

Rest in Peace Your Loving Family

my case police and others about my situation yet it continues to go on and I too feel like it does not help. Then I thought to myself, what can I do?

And what has been working for me to deal with my current situation?

The first thing was to gather my thoughts and emotions.

I thought about all the things that the bully has done to me for the past 17 months and reflected on how those things made me feel.

Guess what? I was f i l l e d w i t h a n g e r, hatred, disgust, fear, anxiety, and sadness.

All of which I call t o x i c i t y. T h e s e negative emotions are toxic because they take over your entire being.

T h e y e n d u p controlling how you think, feel and behave. I knew at this point that no one else can help me but myself. In order to get rid of the toxic, I needed to detox myself by focusing on the positive. The worst thing you can do is allow your bully to take away your belief in yourself. I am a confident, intelligent, s u c c e s s f u l , h a p p y, motivated, goal driven, caring, creative, strong, and empathetic person.

My strength within is what helps me to get rid of the toxic. When I feel I'm losing sight of this, I turn to my support system (family, friends, children, and coworkers), music, writing, and dancing.

Reflecting on my strengths helps me to let go and actually feel sorry for my bully as I can feel and see the fear, shame and anger inside of her. She is toxic and the only way she can deal with it is by blaming me for the way she feels when in all actuality she is the one choosing to feel this way.

I like to compare a bully to a villain. A villain is filled with negativity and that negativity can easily be spread to others and create a 'team' or as I explained

above with my bully, followers. For those of you who are into Marvel Comics, there is always a hero and a villain. In Thor, The Asgardian warriors (heroes) are at war against the Frost Giants (villain) to prevent them from conquering the nine realms, starting with Earth.

Both are very powerful and different but in the end, the Asgardian warriors defeat the Frost Giants and seize the source of their power.

As mentioned above, writing is therapeutic for me, and this is a healthy way for me to share my story and bring awareness to bullying as it can happen to anyone. I want the followers to know that they are being consumed by this toxicity which I describe as negative e m o t i o n s . Yo u followers are only showing others including your children (if you have any) that

this behavior is acceptable. I want my bully to know that she can continue to try and break me all she wants and at times she may be successful but in the end, the hero always wins because positivity is more powerful than negativity. I also want those who are being bullied to find a healthy way to deal with the bully and never get even with the bully using negativity because then you'll turn out to be like Thor's brother, Loki.

For those of you who

don't believe that emotion either positive or negative isn't contagious, please do an experiment with o t h e r s . Ta k e a n y emotion and enter a room clearly showing others what you feel and you will observe the emotion being spread through the room and you will infect or affect others to feel what you are feeling if the others allow you to consume them.

John Theriault asks “Is that an alligator?” after 35 pound Northern Pike landed on Alcorn Lake near Chapleau

Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris

With warmer weather hopefully just around the corner and the annual Chapleau Ice Fishing Derby over, it seemed like a good time for a fishing story.

John Theriault kindly sent me a copy of "Trespassing in God's Country" by his father

George Theriault with a big catch. John Theriault collection George Theriault who arrived in Chapleau in 1954 and founded Theriault Air Service.

He also served in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Mr. Theriault who is now in his 94th year lives in Sault Ste. Marie. The book is a great read.

Here is a

slightly edited version the story, and I am sure Chapleau folks who fish in the surrounding area will identify with the location.

By George Theriault from "Trespassing in God's Country" "During our first year in Chapleau, I met Ralph Stedman from Flint, Michigan.

We had the pleasure of taking care of him and his son Larry for many years. He was such a naturally amicable man that within a year or two, our business relationship turned into a longstanding friendship between our families.

"In the fall of 1956 my five year old son, John, and I accompanied Mr. Stedman and his son Larry to our little tent camp on the n o r t h e n d o f Nemegosenda Lake. I didn't have any boats on the site, so for safety, we tied two canoes together -- a 17 foot square stern with a 9.9 motor and a smaller 16 foot canoe, loaded with our gear.

We motored down the river to Alcorn Lake and

spent the better part of the day still fishing for walleye.

"Once we had our fill of catching walleye in the holes along the shore, we decided to troll down the centre of the lake. I was using a red and white daredevil in hope of tempting a northern pike to hit my line. Most northern pike are found in shallow waters where they feed on smaller fish. Ralph and Larry were using casting reels whereas I was using an Alcock spinning reel with about 300 pounds of 6 pound test. It wasn't monofilament line: it was actually made of silk like the thread used on parachutes.

"All of a sudden I felt my line tighten, as if I had hooked into a huge log. Ralph immediately saw my line go down and told his son Larry, who was running the motor to turn around because he thought my line was snagged.

"There was no reverse on motors back then, so Larry turned the boat around and I held the rod up. We motored back up the river about 100 feet. The line was still out another 200 feet. At this time I began to entertain doubts about this snag. Larry pushed the motor a little faster until we were 100 feet from where the line was hugging the bottom. Only then did I confirm my suspicions that this had to be a fish.

Whatever was on the line took it on a run for another couple of hundred feet. " We had to wait 10 minutes to get a glimpse of the fish. As soon as it surfaced I knew it was a northern.

It barely stayed on the surface for a few seconds before it dove to the bottom pulling at

C

least 50 yards of line.

Then it sulked and pulled and held the six pounds of drag. We sat in this suspended state for several minutes. I knew if I expected to land this fish I had to make the next move "I asked Larry to paddle the canoe so that I could put a side drag on the line. The northern made a dash and we followed, running the motor slowly enough to keep the pressure on. After a few minutes of this chasing game , the fish stopped turned 90 degrees and took off a little faster .By now we were in the middle of Alcorn Lake a depth of 30 feet and the fish still on the bottom.

"It seemed we had been trailing this fish for an hour ---but it had only been 20 minutes. My hands were sore and tired but I wasn't about to give up until I had gotten a good look at my opponent.

Finally the fish eased up and I could reel in some of the line... it got within 300 feet of the boat, "... we could see a huge northern. It looked like it was about 5 feet long.

I knew my line couldn't handle much more pressure and I figured if this fish decided to take another dive to the bottom it was going to take all of my line with it. I began to feel satisfied just to have seen this monster. “...as I was giving up all hope ... the line slackened. I quickly used the opportunity to reel it in.

My last ditch efforts to get the fish close to the boat paid off. Fortunately the fish seemed to have given up all its will power. By the time I got it within a foot of the boat, there was no fight left in this brute.

Larry leaned over the

"My young son John took one very nervous look at the fish and said, 'Is that an alligator, Mr. Stedman?'

His fear of the fish soon subsided ... as he examined the biggest alligator or fish he had

CEDC presented its 2013 Annual Report to Council The CEDC has created three full-time jobs in Chapleau.

Chapleau’s Economic Development Officer, Chelsea Swearengen, was hired in April to provide management and leadership to the CEDC. Two internship positions were also filled in 2013. Stephen Lee has taken on the position of Economic Development Researcher, and Scott Miller recently joined

the team as Business and Community Development Coordinator. These jobs help keep recent graduates from moving away and provide them with valuable work experience. Creating local jobs is always a priority and the CEDC is fighting unemployment in the most direct way.

Tw o p u b l i c events were hosted in the fall. The first in a

series of Small Business Seminars brought many local partners together to discuss topics relevant to business in Chapleau, and the Mining for Non-Miners event provided residents with an opportunity to learn about the mining process, and receive detailed information from Probe Mines about their project at Borden Lake.

The CEDC is

committed to keeping the residents of Chapleau informed on local issues. Regular news and updates are available online at www.ChapleauEDC.c a and on our Facebook page.

A service agreement was signed between OMNR and the

Michipicoten First Nation Management Group in support of conducting forest management planning activities on the Magpie Forest.

NSRCF was offered a resource revenue sharing pilot

project involving the Magpie and Martel forests, to run for the next two years. Chief Corston stated that the NSRCF was adamant about the fact that First Nations are to eventually lead regional forest management

planning, not merely be part of the planning process as suggested.

Study and Gaps Analysis that has recently been completed to identify current market conditions and opportunities/threats to our future development.

This is important groundwork that will support future projects with credible research.

The costs associated with the above projects and staff positions have been offset considerably by the generous support of both the Provincial and Federal Governments. The CEDC has leveraged $250,000 to date from outside sources, and continues to look for opportunities that will maximize our potential with as few local resources as possible.

We thank the people of Chapleau and the local business community for their support over the past year. In 2014, we

hope to build on these successes by launching our new website www.ChapleauEDC.ca ; finishing Chapleau’s Economic Development Strategy; building relationships with investors; and providing continued support to entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Discussions on the Northeast Superior Enhanced Regional Forest Licence Cont’d from P.4 that brought all of the partners back to the table, and this was not acknowledged in the OMNR presentations.

Colin Lachance added that the NSRCF's work should be recognized as a further example

that the NSRCF is genuinely committed to reconciliation given the way in which the process has accommodated the needs and interests of First N a t i o n s , i n d u s t r y, municipalities and the Crown.
