Township of Chapleau proactive in job creation

By Staff n unused building is now the talk of the town.

When the building, housing the former Domtar planning mill, was offered to the Township of Chapleau, wheels started turning.

The township's investment in the repairs and revitalization of the structure paid off as it attracted a company to set up in Chapleau and create local employment.

A new local Canada Yew processing plant slated for startup in March of 2010 is already creating local employment.

Superior Bio Products Ltd., a subsidiary of Active Botanicals Company Ltd. of Iona, Prince Edward Island will be renting the premises and is presently into phase one of the project.

Equipment, such as the dryer blowers, is already on site and more equipment is slated to arrive in the next few weeks. Our community is already

benefitting from this project as local construction firm Leo Santerre & Son was given the contract to repair the building and Rioux Electrical was hired to upgrade and improve the electrical system. A few local workers are in the process of completing the loading dock which will be used to load up transports with the bagged Canada Yew. To supply the Canada Yew processing plant, the harvesting radius of the C a n a d a Ye w w i l l exceed 500 kilometres from Chapleau.

Harvesting is done by pruning the plant at appropriate times during the year thereby ensuring future harvests. Theoretically the harvesting could take place during 12 months of the year but the growth factor in

Tw o t r a i l e r loads containing 30 metric tons of the harvested Canada Yew

The Discovery of Paclitaxel in Canada Yew In 1960, the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Cancer Institute started testing plants for chemicals that have the potential to fight cancer. Paclitaxel was identified as the active anti-cancer chemical in the bark of Pacific yew but the demand for paclitaxel was greater than the supply of Pacific yew. Paclitaxel continues to be difficult to produce by synthetic means.

To help overcome this shortage, all yew species were investigated as potential paclitaxel sources. This led to the discovery that Canada yew was a good source of paclitaxel as well as two other taxanes that can be used to synthesize paclitaxel. Given the high levels of taxanes in Canada yew, this species could become one of the most valuable natural sources of taxanes for the pharmaceutical industry. (www.mnr.gov.on.ca)

will be positioned within the plant while the tractor is off to get another load.

A hydraulic system will be used to operate the live deck trailers to be unloaded as needed to keep the production line going. At this time the material will be fed to a hammermill where it will be ground up and dried in a sixty foot dryer, sifted and graded then blown into a storage silo where it will sit until being bagged in 4'x4'x4' container bags. The material is exported to Europe or China where the paclitaxel is extracted by pharmaceutical companies.

Another great feature to this new plant will be the ability

to manufacture wood pellets to be used in wood pellet burning stoves.

With the addition of a wood chipper/grinder, the same unloading facilities and drying system will be used to process wood waste which will in turn be manufactured in pellets. Wood scraps of all kind, including wood pallets and construction scraps that are now discarded in the landfill site will be used. The ground dried wood waste material will be blown into another existing storage silo until ready to be used.

This plant will have the possibilities of being one of the largest wood pellet pro-

ducers.

"The existing facilities are ideal, almost made to order" says entrepreneur Kerry Scott. "We are looking forward to working with the community and it's been really good up to now.

We have a good relationship with our new neighbours, Tembec and Niska North" he adds.

Mayor Freeborn and town council are optimistic in the future of this community and this new enterprise certainly ascertains our economic viability for the long term.

Other major projects that should impact our economic well-being are in the planning stages.

The veterans of erans who rose to the by Michael J. Morris

Two years after the end of World War II, as those who served in Canada's armed forces returned home to Chapleau, they were being urged to take more of an interest in community and municipal affairs.

Both J.M. Shoup, president of Branch No."5" of the Legion, and Harry Searle, after whom the Chapleau branch came to be named, urged the World War II veterans to be more involved in community life. Mr. Shoup, who had served in World Wars I and II and Mr. Searle, who served in World War I, and worked tirelessly for benefits for veterans were speaking at the annual Legion Armistice Day Banquet and Dance held in the Town Hall in 1947.

Mr. Searle proposed a toast to the

branch and talked about the founding of the Legion and those from across Canada who were responsible.

He stressed that it was with no thought of personal gain that the Legion was founded. Mr. Searle was present at the meeting in Winnipeg in 1925 where the Legion was founded and Chapleau received its Charter in 1926 as Branch No. 5 and was later named in his honour and is now known as Harry Searle (Ont. No. 5) Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, according to information on the Chapleau community portal.

J.L Whitney proposed the toast to the memory of those who did not come back while Mrs. L. Montgomery outlined the work of the ladies during the war both in the

Mr. Shoup gave an outline of the work of the branch during the past year and what had been accomplished at the hall. He said that the hall was becoming more and more a community centre every day and that more and more facilities would be added for the benefit of both the general public and veterans.

Over 240 members and guests were present for the turkey banquet which was enjoyed by all. World War II veteran Henry Therriault was chairman for the evening while J. Thomson played the Last Post.

After dinner they moved to the Town Hall auditorium where an hour of excellent humorous entertainment was provided under the direction of Ted Soucie. Dancing followed in the basement to the music of Wilf Simpson and his orchestra.

elected first vice president, A.R "Rene" Acquin, second vice president, with George Collinson as secretary and Fred Matters as treasurer. Auditors were Mr. Searle, Mr. Collinson and Steve Therriault. The executive committee consisted of Mr. Searle, Mr. (Steve) Therriault, Ovide Cote, W. Morrison and Walter Steed.

Interestingly two members of the Legion executive were elected to Chapleau township council in the 1947 election: Mr. Steed and Mr. Shoup. In that same election Mrs. F.M (Maud) Hands, who had been a nurse in England during World War I, became the first woman ever elected to Chapleau council.

When I discovered the articles about the 1947 activities that appeared in the Chapleau Post, it seemed appropriate to use them as the basis for Chapleau Moments column just prior to Re-

World War II heeded the comments of Mr. Shoup and Mr. Searle to become involved in community life, and they were involved in every aspect of it in the years to come.

As I wrote in my 1984 book, "Sons of Thunder... Apostles of Love" the veterans returned home, resumed their employment, married and started to raise their families. These veterans, having experienced the bitterness of war and having lived through the Great Depression were determined to build a better community for their children.

I added: They became involved in local organizations, sat on the municipal council and school boards, and were active in their church. Chapleau was beginning to change.

The barriers of isolation were being removed.

As I reflect today on the Chapleau where I was raised, at-

occasion not only in time of war, but in time of peace to create a better place for us all.

At a Remembrance Day service in St. John's Anglican Church one year later in 1948, Rev. Canon H.A. Sims said in part, "We must make peace by working hard at overcoming ugliness with beauty; overcoming meanness with generosity; overcoming lies with truth, and by overcoming evil with good." The service was to dedicate a prayer desk in memory of my father Flying Officer James E. Morris, who was killed on active service in the RCAF in 1943.

Those who did come home understood so clearly the words of Canon Sims, and gave so much to our community. Thank you. To those who did not return, they shall grow not old because we will always remember them.

Students enjoying the soup made with freshly grown vegetables.

Students harvesting vegetables from the garden.

Since the beginning of the school year, students, staff and members of the community have planned many

fun/educational activities.

September Mrs. Bruneau's class harvested the vegetable garden they

planted last spring with Nurse Mary Boucher. They prepared and shared a delicious veggie soup.

We could have farmers or chefs in the near future!

Mrs.DiPasquale's class along with others, visited Sacred Heart Parish and introduced themselves to our new priest, Fr. Groleau.

October Keeping Mr. L e v e s q u e ' s e s t a blished traditions, we offered a turkey lunch with all the trimmings followed by a friendly bingo game in the afternoon, and we also organized the Halloween Party at the Arena. What a success! Goblins, ghosts, pirates, turtles, p r i n c e s s e s , m o nsters… all gathered for a night of games and baked goods kindly donated by many friends. Local businesses gave away some prizes for the raffles; staff members,

and parent Council also donated time and effort. A special thanks to all youth from our local high schools who volunteered and supervised the games.

Their positive attitude sets always a good example for the little ones.

This month we also started a program funded by the Ministry of Education called Breakfast for Learning. Volunteer staff members arrive earlier to set up and serve the nutritious breakfast daily.(See menu in our school's website) In a friendly atmosphere, the day is set up with small talk, laughs, and good food.

What a start!

November: We had an All Saints Liturgy. Organized by our Faith Ambassador, Mrs. Pat Boucher, students learned what is the meaning of sainthood, and who is a positive role model in their lives. They gathered for prayer

So, with these

many interesting things happening at Our Lady of Fatima School, everybody is welcome to drop in and visit.

November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month Submitted For the past twenty years or more, the Ontario government has designated the month of November as Woman Abuse Prevention Month, in their ongoing efforts to raise awareness of this issue.

Having an entire month dedicated to this issue suggests that it is indeed a significant problem, one which we all need to take seriously. Woman abuse affects every community, whether we want to acknowledge it or not.

Every year, women and children are murdered by violent partners/ fathers, and every year many other women seek the refuge of women's shelters to find help to escape abuse.

What Is Abuse?

Because fear and shame continue to prevent many women

from speaking out about what is happening to them, we are able to maintain the illusion that woman abuse is not happening in our communities. On average, a woman endures more than thirty episodes of abuse before reaching out for help. Many of us still have trouble identifying abuse in its many forms. We can all recognize physical abuse – the black eyes, the bruises, the broken bones. The other forms – the emotional, the financial, the psychological – these are the forms we do not readily recognize as abuse, but they are equally distressing to those experiencing them. There are still those who believe that there cannot be such a thing as sexual abuse or rape within a marriage, although the Criminal Code of Canada indicates other-

wise.

“No” means “No” within any kind of relationship.

Abuse is defined as the intentional, systematic use of tactics by an intimate partner to gain and maintain control over another. Abuse is about power and control, plain and simple.

Abuse is not something over which a woman has any control; it is not an argument that “got out of control”; it is not a reaction to a problem in a relationship, such as economic stress; it is not something anyone “deserves”.

An abuser's problem is not that he loses control of himself, but that he takes control of his partner.

The Costs of Woman Abuse Beyond the physical and emotional costs to the victim, the costs of woman abuse

to our communities are huge, both economically and personally. In Canada, health care costs as a result of abuse are astronomical.

One study pegs it at $1.5 billion – this includes $225 million in long-term medical consultations and $506 in short and long-term mental health care, needed to deal with the depression and anxiety created by the abuse.

Woman abuse results in increased costs to employers as well. Lost time, as victims heal from injuries or succumb to the stress created by the abuse, reduces productivity, as does the absenteeism that happens when the abuser becomes involved with the criminal justice system.

Anything which has a negative impact on the economy affects us all.

Children living

in homes where they are exposed to violence experience trauma as well. These children are more likely to be involved with alcohol and/or other drugs, to drop out of or perform poorly at school, and to grow up to continue the violence they came to believe was normal.

Community Response So – what can communities do about this issue?

In Chapleau, throughout the month of November, there will be opportunities to become more informed about the issue. On November 25th, the regular Snack & Yak will present Neighbours, Friends and Families.

This will be a free luncheon, sponsored by CHADWIC Home, and tickets will be available from Turning Point.

Also, Cst. Arsenault of

the Chapleau OPP will be presenting a Women's Self-Defence class on Tuesday, November 24th, at 7 PM. Space for both of these is limited, so watch for further details as they are made available.

On November 11, 18, and 25, at the Best Start Hub, from 10 – 11 AM, there will be a series of workshops entitled, “Finding Your Personal Power”. All interested women are invited to attend.

Becoming informed, rather than turning a blind eye, is the best way to combat this issue within our communities. When we unite our voices and say that abuse has no place in our community, we will then begin to see change.

Working together, we can end the violence.

Jack O' Lanterns take over the Legion

The Chapleau Action Centre held a Pumpkin Carving Contest on Halloween Day at the Royal Canadian Legion.

Great fun was had by all the children who attended the event.

Parents had a chance to catch up with coworkers as well as had the opportunity to network and build relationships with others who've been affected by layoffs.

The children

enjoyed themselves in various activities such as pumpkin carving, colouring and crafts which included some very spooky bat puppets that the children made with the help of our volunteers Jennifer Ribout, Lianne McColeman, Marie Marchioni, Roxanne Poudrier and Christianne MorinDomingue.

A special thank you goes out to The Royal Canadian

Legion Branch 5 and Canadian Pacific Railway for their donations as well as those who volunteered for the event. Without your support, this event would not have been a huge success and we are truly grateful.

Congratulations go out to our contest winners Ethan Mclean, Mason Cyr and Brooke Doyon who were the winners in their respective age categories.

Service Canada Information Sessions It's often difficult to know where to get the right information you're looking for if you don't know who to ask.

Many of us tend to ask our friends and family members concerning matters such as information regarding the Canada Pension Plan, Apprenticeship Grants, Work Sharing Program and the Canada Summer Jobs Program to name a few. But is the information that we're getting from these individuals the right information? More often than not, it's not.

That's why it's

imperative to seek out the person most knowledgeable in these matters as that information will directly impact you.

A Citizen Service Specialist from Service Canada will be in Chapleau once a month to deliver information sessions on these and more topics.

The next session will take place on Thursday, November 12th from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Chapleau Town Hall Boardroom and the theme of this session will be on Apprenticeship Grants. In many skilled trades, appren-

ticeship training is an essential step to becoming a certified trades person.

If you're an employer or an employee, the session will have information on the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant, Apprenticeship Completion Grant, the Job Creation Tax Credit and the Trades person's Tool Tax Deduction.

All of these information sessions are open to the public and are free of charge. So come and get the right information.

In Flanders Fields

By John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Spirits of the past

By Amelia Depippo, 2006 While praying at a grave one day From straight out of the blue There was a man beside me And he was praying too He cried with every word he spoke While tears dripped down his face And as he slowly wiped the tears Others did replace I helped him up from off the ground And wiped his tears away We walked together quietly He did not look my way I saw a flower on the ground And plucked it from its’ place I gave it to him carefully He smiled with loving grace A poppy is a symbol of the soldiers in the war Who died for us In love for us Wanting us free once more And as he grasped the poppy I shed a tear you see For this was my dad, a soldier His spirit came to me I hugged him very closely He kissed me on the cheek We cried together thankfully That we could finally meet But as he slowly started to fade I finally knew at last The soldiers are always there for us The spirits of the past

Every Day Should Be Remembrance Day

By Carol Hughes On November 11, 1918 when the guns finally stopped firing in the First World War, the world stood back and took stock of the terrible price paid.

Many vowed, 'never again', yet we are all too aware that this vow has been difficult to keep.

World War II and the Korean conflict claimed many more lives and subsequent military actions have also had their toll on Canadians. Most recently, our troops in Afghanistan have suffered terrible losses that continue to this day.

The one com-

mon thread between all of these events is sacrifice. Sacrifice in the theatre of war where men and women were willing to pay the ultimate price on behalf of their country. Sacrifice on the home-front in the form of single parents raising children while the other is off at, or lost to war.

Sacrifice as a nation diverting resources to support the military while the population learns to deal with shortages or without.

Sacrifice is truly what we are to remember.

On Remembrance Day, national pride brims.

It is tempting for politicians to wrap them-

selves in the flag and to use that cover for the

purpose of their own agenda. Our common

sacrifices should not be politicized. There are many opportunities for political debate but a time of remembrance is surely not one of them.

War is not to be glorified. This might be the true meaning of Remembrance Day. Our veterans, heroes that they are, must be remembered, but that memory must be tempered with an acute awareness of what the real cost of war is.

This is a memory that is fading in Canada.

Recent generations do not have the same firsthand experience of those that faced the hardship and fears that accompanied both

World Wars. Our current mission in Afghanistan offers glimpses at that experience, but it does not permeate our day-to-day lives in the same way the World Wars did.

F i n a l l y, r emembrance should not be confined to one day or one action, such as donning a poppy. If we are to honour those who gave so much on our behalf we should do so by remembering why we fought and how we came to do so.

We should view our current decisions while wearing the lens of remembrance with an eye to honouring the vow of, 'never again.'

Chaque jour devrait être le jour du Souvenir Par Carol Hughes L e 1 1 novembre 1918, lorsque les canons de la Première guerre mondiale se sont enfin tus, le monde s'est arrêté et a fait le compte des terribles dommages encourus.

Plusieurs ont juré : « Plus jamais ».

Pourtant, nous savons tous que la fidélité à ce vœu s'est révélée difficile.

La Deuxième guerre mondiale et le conflit coréen ont entraîné la mort de beaucoup d'autres vies humaines et les actions militaires qui ont suivi ont également fait des victimes chez les Canadiens. Plus récemment, nos t r o u p e s e n Afghanistan ont subi des pertes terribles et elles ne sont pas au

bout de leurs peines.

Le dénominateur commun de tous ces événements tien en un mot : sacrifice.

Sacrifice sur le théâtre de la guerre où des hommes et des femmes sont prêts à faire le sacrifice ultime au nom de leur pays.

Sacrifice sur le front intérieur où un parent unique doit élever des enfants alors que l'autre conjoint est à la guerre ou victime de la guerre. Sacrifice d'un pays affectant des ressources à l'appui des militaires alors que la population fait l'expérience de pénuries ou d'absence de certains biens. Le sacrifice : voilà ce dont il faut se souvenir.

Le jour du Souvenir, la fierté nationale surabonde. Il est tentant pour un

politicien de se couvrir du drapeau pour présenter ses propres ambitions. Nos sacrifices communs ne doivent pas être politisés. Nombreuses sont les occasions de tenir des débats politiques, mais le moment consacré au souvenir n'en fait pas partie.

Il faut se garder de glorifier la guerre. C'est peut-être là la véritable signification du jour du Souvenir. Il ne faut pas oublier nos anciens combattants, tout héros qu'ils sont, mais notre souvenir doit être tempéré par une prise de conscience aigüe du coût réel de la guerre.

Au Canada, ce souvenir est en train de s ' e s t o m p e r. L e s générations nouvelles

n'ont pas l'expérience de ceux qui ont vécu les épreuves et les craintes des deux guerres mondiales.

Notre mission actuelle en Afghanistan permet d'entrevoir cette expérience, mais elle ne pénètre pas au cœur de notre vie quotidienne comme

l'ont fait les deux grandes guerres.

Enfin, le souvenir ne devrait pas se limiter à une journée ou à une action, comme le port d'un coquelicot. Si nous voulons honorer ceux qui ont tout donné pour notre pays, nous devrions le faire en

nous rappelant pourquoi nous avons combattu et comment nous y avons été conduits. Nous devrions envisager nos décisions actuelles à travers les lentilles du souvenir pour rester fidèles au vœu de ceux qui ont osé espérer....... " Plus jamais".

McDougall Fuels Donation

Let's Remember Them Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace. We honour those who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953), as well as those who have served since then. More than 1,500,000 Canadians have served our country in this way, and more than 100,000 have died. They gave their lives and their futures so that we may live in peace.

a uniform standard of entry of 360 hours for E m p l o y m e n t Insurance benefits. It was passed by the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee with one amendment, which increases the scheduled amount of benefits by 5 per cent from the original bill, to a total of 60 per cent.

“I was glad to see the only amendment made was one that improved the end result for the people that need this help,” said Hughes. “This outcome is a step in the right direction.”

Mayor Rick Hamilton of Elliot Lake and Barb Byers and Andrew Jackson from the Canadian Labour Congress appeared as witnesses and testified in support of Hughes` Bill. “ M a y o r Hamilton was able to share the perspective of local governments and gave a first-hand account of how
