TFN Adult Education Program 2011 Edition Students from the Timiskaming First Nation Adult Education Program celebrated the last day of the semester with a pizza party on June 23rd. A number of family members, TFN Band and CSLT (Commission Scolaire du Lac-Temiscamingue) representatives and both instructors were present to congratulate the students for their individual efforts and accomplishments. The adult school opened its doors the last week of January and already a number of students have completed one or two additional courses towards their high school diplomas. Thursday’s party was the occasion for assurances from both Therese Renaud, (TFN Band Council), and Marie Luce Bergeron, (CSLT), that every effort will be made to continue the school in September with the similar or a modified format. Seven of the students in attendance indicated that they would be returning in the fall. Adult students face many challenges, not the least of which is finding the courage to return to studies after a prolonged absence. Indeed, curriculum has changed and it can be frustrating to students while time is spent determining the right level of course difficulty. Regular attendance is a key factor in success. Juggling daily schedules to allow time for studies while still meeting spousal and family obligations is usually necessary. Receiving family support and encouragement can make the difference in a student remaining motivated and keeping long range goals in sight. For the next year Therese Renaud suggested a school calendar that would end earlier to better accommodate students seeking summer employment. In conclusion, I would like to give a “HAT’S OFF” salute to the student participants. I have truly enjoyed your cooperation and friendliness which has made the last few months a personally rewarding experience for me. Also appreciated is the collaborative support from the TFN and CSLT personnel. Meegwetch, Tony Bacenas, Adult Education Instructor

Council Updates In regards to Public Security, I am happy to report that although the planned 19% cut to our budget has taken place, we have been able to secure other amounts to make up the difference, which means that our police budget will continue to stay relatively the same until 2013. As portfolio holder, I believe it is necessary to follow up on the inadequacy of funding for our police force and work with our director to attempt to increase the amount currently earmarked for the Timiskaming Police Force. We cannot wait until 2013 to be saddled with yet again another budget cut. I also want to inform the community that in regards to our Land Management, I did attend a meeting last week with council, our lands employee and Indian Affairs in relation to the Additions to Reserve (ATR) Process. As I had stated in an earlier newsletter, I believe that the ATR process would be beneficial to our community and for that reason, believe it is imperative that we start the process. With new members being added into our community as a result of the McIvor decision, I believe that we will have to expand our residential areas in order to accommodate anyone who wishes to return to the community. As we receive further information about the steps in this process, we will update the community with any developments. I would also like to take this time to thank all the employees for their hard work this past year. It’s great to see everyone working together for the betterment of the Timiskaming First Nation. Great job everyone! Amanda McBride Councilor
Public Works Update The Public Works department are still looking into our best option, regarding recycling. I visited the Perron Recycling site in Rouyn on July 19, and they are currently undergoing many new changes to the plant. Many of these changes are due to new Provincial regulations and their own cost cutting efforts. There are so many unknowns at this point, and we do not want to rush into anything without a full understanding of our obligations, and any imminent changes coming. We are a small community and it may not even be feasible for us to transport our own garbage these long distances, with partial loads. As I said we are researching our best option, but this is proving to be very difficult, as all these facilities are in the process of changing themselves, and cannot give me an exact cost at the moment. I ask everyone to please be patient, I will be informing everyone via the newsletter as soon as I know any more information, especially concerning the schedule for the blue bin pick up. I can say that it will be up to all commercial/private businesses to use the M.R.C. to pick up their garbage, and purchase the bins of their choice (at their own expense).

The Land That Talks : A Multimedia Tour of Algonquin Name Places The A.I.H.P team is currently working on a side project called The Land That Talks. The T.F.N team Will be conducting interviews of people who have interesting stories about places that attach us to the territory. The goal of the project is to record Algonquin place names and stories. Most Algonquin names have been systematically removed from federal and provincial maps. Our project is one way to retell these stories before they are lost, and to help put our place names back on the maps. Between 1910 and the 1930’s, there was a noticeable change in Quebec maps where existing Algonquin place names simply disappeared from the landscape. These toponyms may have disappeared but many of our Elders still retain this knowledge. To date there are well over 120 Algonquin place names collected. What’s missing are the stories that go with these sites. Recognizing this, our priority is to record stories for sites already in our database. Should a participant want to record new site (s) and share a story of this Site (s), we will work to accommodate new data as well. More information to follow.
Algonquin Name Places Search-A-Word (The words in brackets are : Algonquin Toponym Names). These words aren’t found in the puzzle, just for your info. 1. Blanche River (Kagige Anwatan) 2. Bullrock 3.

It has been a fun filled week thus far. I went out last night and not one camper was interested in coming home. Monday morning the kids had the opportunity to set up camp 2 tents a traditional (tee-pee) and nontraditional (50x30 canopy tent). Then after lunch the kids went swimming and did some exploration in the canoes in the evening. Tuesday the kids did more swimming and went blueberry picking. Of course we have our nightly camp fires. The natural resource department came in on Wednesday and did some underwater exploration with an aqua viewing apparatus, a scavenger hunt using a compass and plant and tree identification. On Thursday if you were at the education recognition event held at the arbour a couple of weeks ago, the first line services had an array of activities that evening. This sort of high energy took place at the camp this Thursday This Friday is parent morning and a bus will be going to the camp for parents to experience a taste of what the kids did all week. Bus leaves the community at 9:00 a.m.

Looking after your animals in the heat
Only let your animals outside in the early morning when it's cool; don't let them outside when very hot and humid outside.
If you go on a long drive in the hot weather, bring a bottle of water for your dog, so you can hydrate him along the way.
When the asphalt is hot don't let your dog walk on it; he'll burn the bottom of his paws. Don't use products made for humans on your dog like sunscreen or insect repellent. The misuse of these types of products on your dog might result in adverse affects like lethargy and neurological problems.
Avoid taking your dog to beach unless the weather is cool or there is guaranteed shade for both of you.
