Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti raises spring flooding preparedness.
T
his has been a particularly cold winter with significant snowfall in many parts of the province. With the official arrival of spring and warming temperatures, the risk of flooding increases. I would like to let you know how my ministry responds to flooding and how ministry staff can help during flood season. The Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for flood forecasting and warning at the provincial level in O n t a r i o . We w o r k closely with the prov-
Long Term Forecast Friday High -4 Low -11 Saturday High 1 Low - 18 Sunday High 4 Low -10 Monday High -1 Low -7 Tuesday High -5 Low -14 Wednesday High 2 Low -14
ince's 36 conservation authorities and Environment Canada to forecast when and where flooding is likely to occur. The ministry and conservation authorities monitor watershed and weather conditions to predict water levels and flows, and issue flood messages. Flood messages help municipalities notify the public of developing unsafe river
and lake conditions and advise them to take precautions. In areas where conservation authorities do not exist, MNR District offices provide flood information to local municipalities and the media. Local governments are then responsible for communicating messages to the public and for first-line emergency response. The ministry's Surface Water Monitor-
ing Centre monitors flood conditions 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is able to contact MNR District Offices and conservation authorities immediately with updates. When the risk of flooding is high, the Surface Water Monitoring Centre issues flood messages to the appropriate conservation authorities and MNR D i s t r i c t o ff i c e s b y email, fax and, if after hours, by phone. This information is also shared with partners and key stakeholders, such as Ontario Power Generation, CN-CP Rail, the Ministry of Transportation, the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, and isolated First Nation communities. The ministry's Emergency Management network is also activated when
required. The ministry has regular daily contact with the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management about current conditions and flood potential. To s e e t h e ministry's current flood messages, go to
www.ontario.ca/flooding.
The ministry is making every effort to keep the people of Ontario informed, to provide reliable and immediate updates and to limit the effects of flooding as much as possible.

MP Expense Disclosure Good, But Not Great by Gregory Thomas MPs broke with tradition recently, voting unanimously in favour of a Liberal motion (2710) to post detailed transactions from their travel and hospitality expense accounts on the internet. This step is undoubtedly in the right direction, but stops short of being considered “enough.” And the debate in the Commons showed that while the vote was unanimous, party opinions on expenses are far from the same. On the issue of MP expense accountability, the NDP took the most principled stand. M P s a n d Senators each control hundreds of thousands of dollars of public funds for salaries, contracts, advertising, hospitality, travel and housing allowances. In years past, taxpayers were only provided with the yearly total spending by each MP or Senator. More recently, the number was broken down into three
categories. Then more categories were added as additional incidents of sketchy spending came to light. T h e m o s t egregious example was G i l l e s D u c e p p e ’s decision, as leader of the Bloc Québécois, to put his party’s executive director on the parliamentary payroll, with that person based exclusively in Montreal. Duceppe also used the Bloc’s parliamentary budget to pay an author to write a history of the Bloc – the book was published, you can still pick up a used copy. A s t o n i s h i n g l y, n e t proceeds were never forwarded to the taxpayers of Canada. Sadly, the Liberal motion that passed the Commons did not go far enough. The Conservatives and Liberals blocked an NDP amendment that would have called on the Auditor General to review MP’s expenses. Peter Julian, an NDP MP from British
OBITUARY Veronica 'Nin' Babin Passed away peacefully at the Chapleau Health Services on Wednesday March 19, 2014 at the age of 94 years. Beloved wife of the late Donat Babin. Dear mother of Olive Byce (Alvin), Betty Wickenden (Richard), Edna Clouston (Bruce), Bonnie Desbois (Henry), the late Alex Babin (Suzanne), the late John Babin (Sue), Danny Babin (Sharon), Shirley Stevenson (Roger), Joseph Babin (Linda), Margaret McKnight (John), Allan Babin, Mary Johns (Tim) and Troy Babin (Rina). Loving grandmother of 26 and proud great grandmother of 32. Dear sister of the late Ernie McCue (late Eileen), Dorothy Kiertscher (late John), Mae MacDonald (Joe) and Norbert Roussy. Nin was a very proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #5, Chapleau and a member of the Catholic Women's League at Sacred Heart Church. Friends were invited to visit at the Gilmartin Visitation Centre, 10 Young Street, on Friday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. A Funeral Mass was held at Sacred Heart Church on Saturday March 22, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. with Reverend Sebastien Groleau officiating. Spring Interment at the Chapleau Municipal Cemetery. Memorial donations made to the Sacred Heart Church or to the Chapleau Health Services Activation Department would be greatly appreciated.

Columbia, needed unanimous consent to allow the amendment, but the Liberals and Conservatives refused. As well, there is no provision in the new motion that would compel politicians to show the public the receipts and contracts – the actual documentation – submitted in exchange for the expense money they receive. In progressive jurisdictions, such as the province of Alberta and the City of Toronto, receipts and contracts submitted by politicians, political staffers, and s e n i o r o ff i c i a l s a r e posted online – anyone can inspect the documents with the click of a mouse. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says she will soon introduce legislation that will meet the same high standard of disclosure. In order to obtain these receipts and contracts from federal cabinet ministers, you need to file an access to information request, pay a fee, and wade through puddles of red tape, often interacting with accessto-information special-
i s t s i n t h e a ff e c t e d government department, and sometimes the federal information commissioner’s office. The Access to Information Act does not apply to federal MPs and Senators, an outrageous example of politicians placing themselves above the law by writing a loophole for themselves. Last fall, the Commons committee on procedure held hearings on accountability and disclosure at the behest of the federal NDP caucus. Conservative and Liberal MPs on the committee agreed in a report that, despite the Senate expense scandal, and contrary to testimony from the Information Commissioner, the Auditor General, and even the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, there’s still no need to apply the Access to Information Act to MPs, no need for the Auditor General to audit MP expenses, and no need to post receipts and contracts online. NDP members issued a minority report, demanding these
OBITUARY
sensible reforms. In the Commons, they stuck to this principled position, enduring partisan jabs from both the Conservatives and the Liberals, who seem to prefer the appearance of financial accountability to the reality. The NDP’s Julian, reflecting on the outcome of the Commons debate, said “all that we moved was that MERCI
the Auditor General be invited to audit the disclosure. Is there nothing more motherhood and apple pie than that: bring in the Auditor General just for this disclosure?” Apparently not. It’s clear Canadians will need to keep the heat on Ottawa politicians of every political stripe to do the right thing.

'Pert and purty' Jean Fowler wins 1959 Chapleau Winter Carnival Queen Contest while Jim Haddow named King
Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris “Pert and purty" is how one onlooker described Jean Fowler to Mid North News upon learning that she had won the 1959 C h a p l e a u Wi n t e r Carnival Queen Contest. Jean joined James Haddow, better known to everyone as Jim, who was chosen as Carnival King, the assistant superintendent of the CPR who had become a very popular citizen in the community since arriving in 1954. He was a member of the Chapleau Rotary Club, an enthusiastic bowler (remember the lanes in the YMCA), a golf club member and was present chair of the board of management of the Lady Minto Hospital. Jim Dillon was serving another year as chair of the carnival
committee with Henry Therriault as vice c h a i r. T h e o v e r a l l sponsor was the Chapleau Chamber of Commerce. Secretary was Mrs. Kathleen 'Kay' Broomhead and treasurer Martin McLay. The 'Stars of Tomorrow', with teams from Chapleau Minor Hockey participating in games was as always a popular attraction. The Chapleau Midgets played the Sudbury Sea Cadets while Chapleau High School played Schreiber. As so often happens, nobody seemed to record the scores but I did manage to come across a photo of Harry H o n g , R o g e r Mizuguchi and Harry Pellow who were on the CHS team in 195859. Organizing hockey were Don C a r d , G a r t h ' Te e ' Chambers, Charles

Cobb and Henry Therriault Other minor hockey coaches included Jerry Burns, Charlie White, Esher Ritchie, Roy May, Bill Bryson, Allan Tangie and Eldon Eveline. The major hockey of the weekend was the tournament for the Ernest 'Sonny' Bignucolo Memorial Trophy which Mid North News reported was won "handily" by the Sudbury Co-ops for the second year in a row. Other teams were the Chapleau Huskies, University of Sudbury and Schreiber Intermediates. In the first game Chapleau Huskies lost to Schreiber and then University of Sudbury lost to Sudbury Co-ops setting up a SchreiberSudbury final. J.M. 'Jack' Shoup recently retired as principal and teacher at Chapleau Public School was in charge of children's skating races. Mr. Shoup also looked after races in the summer. In broomball action the Kormak Lumberkings, retained their title as "world c h a m p i o n broomballers" defeating the Chapleau All Stars 6-2. As I thumbed through the program for the 1959 winter carnival sent to me recently by Mark Dillon, Jim's son, out of the mothballs of memory came so many thoughts about those simply awesome carnival weekends in
C
the 1950s. Winters were bitterly cold but life went on regardless and carnivals made them seem much shorter. In fact, because there was natural ice in the arena, we really did not want a thaw. I recall one year there was one, and I can still visualize Tee Chambers and members of the Huskies shoveling the slush off the ice so they could play another period. The carnival show held in the Town Hall auditorium was also a major attraction, and in 1959, the "bright and cheery" Harry Murphy was the master of ceremonies. Harry also acted in a skit with Leona McRea, Jean Johnson and Ovide Cote. Others in the show were the Te e n a i r e s , K a y Macfarlane (Chapleau favourite songstress), Leonard 'Elvis' Gionet and his guitar and Albert Martin and his dog that did everything but talk. Ross Wilson from the Lakehead performed on the Hammond Organ and trampoline stars The Nicklings were on hand. Exciting downhill runs and s l a l o m s w e r e p r esented at the Chapleau Ski Club and if you needed a ride take a taxi -- the fare for a party of four was 75 cents. Figure skating was also feature at the arena and members of the Hiawatha Skating Club of Sault Ste
1959 Winter Carnival King Jim Haddow and Queen Jean Fowler Marie, Michigan gave " an exhibition of artistry on ice". Dances were held every night beginning with a Moccasin Dance at the arena on opening night with admission of 75 cents. The Grand Carnival Ball was held at the Town Hall with music by the Teenaires for a $1.00 admission. The grand old fashioned street dance on Main Street wound up the carnival. I also found the program advertisements interesting and here are some of them. For the most part, Chapleau's business community has changed significantly since 1959. In fact, only Charles W Collins Stores, now called Collins Home Hardware and Furniture remains, but in the same family. O t h e r b u s inesses in the program included B and P Cartage (Bill Payette and Glen Brown), Canadian Oil Companies (Dick Hoath), Tease Cartage (Garth

Canadians oppose the provisions in the Unfair Elections Act that would eliminate the voucher system, prevent Elections Canada from publicly reporting on election fraud, and cancel Elections Canada's research and public education programs. "The Unfair Elections Act proposes dangerous changes that undermine the rights of young voters and will ensure a continued decline to already low voter turnouts," said Jessica McCormick, National Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students. "Students stand united with Canadians across the country to oppose the Unfair Elections Act." "The Unfair Elections Act does nothing to bring to justice the people behind the widespread election fraud in 2011
and would actually make it harder to catch perpetrators of election fraud like Pierre Poutine," says Maude B a r l o w, N a t i o n a l Chairperson of the Council of Canadians.
"Canadians have the right to know when election fraud has been reported and if it is being investigated. That fact that this bill would prevent that is deeply troubling."

Premier Wynne: You Are Freezing the Wrong Wages! The proposed MPP wage freeze will save taxpayers $390,550 per year An across-the-board government wage freeze would save an estimated $2 billion T h e Wy n n e g o v e r n m e n t announced again this week that it wants to continue its wage freeze on MPPs until the budget is balanced. If passed, the MPP Salary Freeze Act would stop the scheduled pay increases set for this April and would put off any wage increases until the Public Accounts confirm the budget is balanced. Not a bad idea. But why stop with just elected officials? Everyone knows the real driver of the deficit in Ontario is the broader public service and government employee compensation. Premier Wynne is freezing the wrong wages! There is little
concern about runaway compensation for MPPs at Queen’s Park, who are already capped at earning 75 per cent of their federal counterparts. MPPs have been under a wage freeze for eight of the past 11 years. And thanks to a compensation overhaul by former Premier Mike Harris, when MPPs l e a v e o ff i c e , t h e y receive a definedcontribution pension instead of the overlyrich defined-benefit scheme received by most other government employees. While it is good news that taxpayers will not be obliged to foot the bill for big pay increases for politicians, this wage freeze will save taxpayers approximately
$390,550 in 2014. Heck, you could make every MPP work for free and it would only save taxpayers $12.5 million. These are drops in the bucket of t h e $ 11 . 9 b i l l i o n provincial deficit. T h e r e a l problem for taxpayers in Ontario is covering the tab for compensation packages of over 1.35 million provincial government workers in Ontario, and the vast benefits that exist in the Ontario Public Service. Employee compensation accounts for half of the provincial budget, without including most pension costs. On paper, the last two Ontario budgets have included a wage freeze for government workers.

To quote the 2013 budget on government employees, “all aspects of compensation plans are frozen, and base salaries cannot be increased.” Unfortunately, the Wynne government continued to negotiate with unions, and caved on a number of deals leading to higher compensation through loopholes, blurred lines and broken promises. The government has handed out signing bonuses, lump sum payments in return for deferred raises in 2015, and a flat out wage increase for the Elementary Teachers Federation. The wage freeze in Ontario meant nothing. If the Ontario government were to
actually, honest to goodness, freeze all government employees wages for the next year, it would save taxpayers an estimated $2 billion. That would start to take a real chunk out of this year’s deficit – a deficit that sees no end in sight. New information on the state of O n t a r i o ’s f i n a n c e s came to light thanks to PC Finance critic Vic Fedeli. Among other revelations, we learned that not only is this government well short of its projections to balance the budget by 2017-18, but they are not being transparent with their books. According to documents prepared for the Wynne government by officials in the Ministry of Finance,
the “key actions to eliminate the deficit” include “reducing pensions expense through agreements and pension reforms” and “no funding for incremental compensation increases for new collective agreements. Salaries for designated groups frozen until 2017-18.” These are their words. The Wynne government knows exactly what it needs to do to balance the budget. We just hope they eventually come to terms with their own advice. Yo u c a n n o t manage the deficit without addressing the largest line item in the budget: government employee compensation.
