Rainy River Legion will hold a Flag Dayceremony this Saturday. See story on page 6.

Here are some interesting facts about our Canadian flag.

• We got the Maple Leaf flag after Prime Minister LesterB. Pearson brought up the idea of a new flag in 1964.• There were over 5,000 designs submitted and looked atbefore George Stanley’s Maple Leaf was picked.• The Maple Leaf was made the official flag of Canadaand raised on Parliament Hill on February 15, 1965.• Our flag is twice as long as it is wide and those dimen­sions are unique to the Canadian flag.• Red and white are the official colours of Canada asdeclared by King George V in 1921.• The flags flown on Parliament Hill in Ottawa are givenaway to citizens for free. Unfortunately there’s a 40­60year wait to get one.

Spruce Creek Golf Course Celebrates 10 Years!

by Melissa FriesenIt started with a passion

for his own small commu­nity. Morson, Ontario maynot be famous but it is wellknown for its fishing, andevery year the residentssee the influx of touristsand fishermen utilize thearea's access to Lake ofthe Woods. It was great,but Ken Pentney dreamedthat there could be moreto offer tourists. So he andhis wife Laurie set off onan adventure to build agolf course from a 160acre parcel of land they

purchased and thenlogged in 1999. They weresemi­retired at the timeand Ken thought the proj­ect would give them

something to do. “It wasreally more his idea thanmine,” Laurie laughs. “I'msure I could have foundsomething else to do. Myflower beds are a mess allthe time now.” (Her flowerbeds at the golf course,

however, are immaculate.There's even a club rulethat says no one is allowedto hit their ball fromthem.)

Ten years later, the golfcourse not only serves theseasonal tourist popula­tion, but actually seesabout 60% of its businessfrom local residents whoused to have to drive up­wards of an hour to playgolf.

In 2004 Ken and Laurieapproached a golf coursearchitect about transform­ing the place. He discov­

ered that they had all thesand they would need tomake the course's greensand 34 bunkers. Ken andhis son in law brought in

the heavy machines andgot to work in the fall ofthat year. In early 2006,the professional golfcourse shapers and irriga­tion specialists came in todo their work and it wasseeded that year as well.

All this time, since the firstwalk on the property, Kenhad a vision for what theplace could become,“what it looks like now,”Laurie says with amaze­ment. She didn't have thatsame vision, but she knewher husband. So if shecouldn't put her confi­dence in the land, she putit in what she knew he wascapable of.

The regulation sized, par36, nine hole golf courseopened part­time in thesummer of 2007 and hadits grand opening in June

of 2008. They hired KimMcKenzie as thegreenskeeper, taking careof the driving range andsurrounding area beforethe course was finished.Little did they know, Kimsecretly began takinggreenskeeper courses toget a better idea of how tocare for the entire courseand soon enough, she wastending to the whole prop­erty.

When I ask Laurie if sheis an avid golfer herself,she smiles and says, “I'm agolfer!” initially leavingout the part aboutwhether or not she's pas­sionate about it, but lateradmitting that it was herhusband's passion that fu­elled her own interest.That passion has beenpassed down to thegreenskeeper, Kim. ButLaurie has been able toadd her own spin to thingsas well. Several schoolgroups have come overthe years to the golfcourse on field trips, and

Laurie is happy to teach alesson, provide a fun day,and perhaps spark somenew interest in the sport. “Idon't profess to be a very

wonderful golfer, but I canteach a lesson to kids.” Hergoal is to introduce chil­dren to golf as a way forthe family to spend timetogether. “You can go withyour great­grandma, youruncle, your five year old.It's a great family sport.”Her own grandkids have

been golfing since theywere three years old.

For those who havenever been to SpruceCreek, Laurie warns that it

is a challenge, but a worth­while one! “We tried tokeep the landscape as itwas,” and nature isn't al­ways gentle or friendly,“but that makes it fun!”The golf course is openfrom 10 am until dusk,seven days a week.

The Spruce Creek Golf

Course will host their 7thannual memorial tourna­ment on July 28 in honourof Ken Pentney's birthday.He passed away from can­cer in 2011 and the coursepays homage to itsfounder in several land­marks as well. Moneyraised from the event goesto Thunder Bay's CareClose to Home program,thanks to the generous do­nations of numerous spon­sors around the district.“On the day of the tourna­ment you can hear peoplelaughing everywhere.That's the best part. Bring­ing joy to people, whetherit's social or that theymade par on a hole.”

The course's 10 year an­niversary falls on July 1stweekend, with a celebra­tory $10 green fee for allwho come out. They'llhave hot dogs and ham­burgers and birthday partyfestivities. Everyone iswelcome!

The view towards the 5th hole is reminiscent of theCanadian Shield, and the entire course was designedto stay true to the original landscape.

Laurie takes me on a personal tour.

There are reminders of Ken Pentney, the visionary behind the course who passedaway in 2011, along the rustic trail.

At the top of the hill and when the season is right, thisplace is bursting with wild blueberries ­ a perfect littlesnack midway through the course.

Laurie stops here on the way back to the office to tell me about the wedding thattook place here, which is one of her favourite memories.

The pictures from Hillary and Kevin Nordberg’s wedding even hang on the walls inthe office. Hillary worked at the course during the summers all throughout college.

Welcoming everyone to the course is the monument to Ken, and in this photo,Laurie Pentney, owner of the nine hole golf course, also holds the plaque with thewinners from their annual memorial tournament in memory of her late husband.

1933-2018With Friday being a P.D.

Day, I decided to book theday off and prepare forsheep shearing and spendthe day with Maddie andMarlee. When I booked itoff, I didn’t realize I wouldbe nursing 2 bunnies andbottle feeding a fewlambs. My mom has beentaking care of the lambsbut they were off to acountry music show. Theyhad a little lamb living inthe house so she was sadthey were away. My dadwas sure they could takeher along but I told him Iwas pretty sure theywould have to leave her atthe border. The lamb nowthinks she is a dog andonce her diaper is on shequickly finds the dog bedat my house. The otherlambs are also from a setof triplets but are stillnursing their moms so weare just giving them a bot­tle twice a day to help sup­plement. Now thateveryone is sheared andout on grass I am hopingthat they will all get a bitmore to eat. Our broken

leg lamb didn’t have agood week but we alsohad started to supplementhim with some milk andMarlee was pleased Fridaywith how well he ate. Sat­urday morning, he wasn’thimself at all and he died.Marlee hasn’t had a goodseason, it was her heifercalf that passed awaywhen we were vaccinat­ing, it was her bunny thatdied and now one of herlambs! My little bunniesare still living and grow­ing. Their eyes are opennow so I am hoping thatthis week they might startlooking for other food be­sides just me and the eyedropper. Our alpaca nowlook like Standard Poo­dles. I didn’t realize whythey left wool around theirfaces, legs and tails – butit is because of the bugs.Their necks look skinnybut they seem very happywith their new look. Ourguy that did the shearingdid a great job and itsounds like he is inter­ested in coming back nextyear!!! He had a long busy

day. Just a reminder that we

are planning a work­bee atthe Sales Barn this Satur­day. If you can join us,please meet at the SalesBarn at 8:30 – 9 am andbring along some tools.We have made a list oftasks to be completed.Lunch will be provided.We are looking for a wayto make the barn more ef­ficient. We are open andwelcome to suggestions ifyou are willing to share.Feeding takes a lot oflabour and with minimumwage increases, we needto find a way to makethings more efficient ofwe will be hosting saleswith little or no income.We need income to keepthe barn open. So pleaselet us know if you haveany suggestions.

Our 2nd planting of hopsshould be completed thisweek and we are planningto start cutting our forageblocks. If nothing else,this should make it rain.We are still in pretty goodshape here for moisturebut others are telling methat they need a shower.It is a tough call, I don’tlike wishing for rain inRainy River.

Air Cadets Celebrate their Ceremonial Review

by Melissa FriesenIt's a bit of a spectacle,

really. Dozens of youngpeople are dressed in pris­tine uniforms, physicallymoving in sync with theirpeers while parents watchfrom the sidelines. Fellowuniformed individuals di­rect the group with theirvoice, shouting out vari­ous directions and leadingthe group in harmonizedmovements. The choreog­raphy is just a small tasteof what the squadron haslearned over the year.

Air cadets undergo a dy­namic and rigorous train­ing, experiencing outingslike survival training week­ends and camps and par­ticipating and achievingrecognition in competi­tions for marksmanshipand orienteering, amongother skills, with other aircadets from acrossCanada. All during the cer­emonial review, thecadets, if not moving,stand in a still andstraight­backed pose. Theshine from their bootsglistened and gleamed asthey stood, ready andwaiting for their followingdirections. But it wasn'tjust layman people likemyself who were im­pressed, even their com­manding officers anddirectors were pleased."Things are going just theway they should," re­marked the Squadron/Re­gional Director, beforeencouraging parents toget involved (even if theyhad no prior experience orknowledge). He acknowl­edged their sacrifice onbehalf of their children'sinvolvement and offeredthat getting more in­volved in the processwould only make the ex­perience more rewarding.

"The experience you gainas a cadet in the air ofleadership, compassion,and integrity will enhanceyour future opportunitiesno matter what careerpath you take," com­mented reviewing officer

Dairy industry finally showingsigns of common senseBy Sylvain Charlebois

It was not the G7 most ex­pected. Not even close. Butshould we be surprised?

As U.S. President DonaldTrump lashes out on Twitteragainst Canadian dairies,Canada is beginning to real­ize that there may be noNorth American Free TradeAgreement (NAFTA) 2.0after all. Washington is ap­parently aiming for twoseparate deals.

But over the last fewmonths, those paying at­tention have recognizedhow our supply manage­ment scheme, which pro­tects dairy farmers, cangradually adapt to the newglobal competitive reality.

It's happening without arevised policy framework,and with no vision or anystrategy for the sector. OurAmerican friends are clearlynot playing along.

Some reports suggest thatmilk prices at farm gatehave started to drop inmany provinces, includingQuébec. For years, the pric­ing formula to dairy farmerswas centred on averages,with no incentives for farm­ers to become more mar­ket­driven. This seems to bechanging.

If industrial milk pricesdrop, dairy farmers willneed to reinvest or leavethe industry. Forcing farm­ers to make a strategic deci­sion on whether theyshould serve the economyis immensely desirable andlong overdue. It will allowmotived dairy farmers togrow their operations andbe properly recognized bythe system.

But growth is not justabout primary production;it's also about processing.Recently, Coca­Cola an­nounced it would invest $85million in its Peterborough,Ont.­based Minute Maidplant to manufacture itsFairlife brand in Canada.Fairlife is an ultra­filtered,lactose­free milk that con­

tains nine essential nutri­ents, with 50 percent moreprotein and 50 percent lesssugar than traditional milk.This is a highly innovativeproduct for the Canadianmarket.

In return, farmers willtemporarily offer Coca­Colaa special price for milk. Thisinvestment was possiblebecause Ontario dairy farm­ers wished to increase pro­cessing capacity in theprovince and to supportwhat's seen as an incredibleopportunity to repurpose afloundering product.

Milk consumption percapita in Canada has beendropping for decades andCoca­Cola's approach couldentice many consumers toreturn to it. This amounts tojust 35 jobs now but speaksto the potential of Canadiandairy processing.

Similar projects have pre­viously been denied bydairy farmers, who believedit would disrupt our quotasystem, which is designedto supply only whatCanada's market needs.

In contrast, foreign in­vestors like Coca­Cola seekreliable access to cheapermilk in order to maintaintheir competitiveness.

In 2013, U.S.­basedChobani, a Greek yogurtproducer, abandoned plansto build a $76­million state­of­the­art plant in Kingston,Ont., that would have cre­ated almost 1,300 directand indirect jobs. It couldhave been a significantgame­changer for the localeconomy. Quota restric­tions and milk procurementwere significant issues inChobani's decision.

New classes of industrialmilk are being created toaccommodate processors.The pressure is on and theresulting changes are wel­comed.

Under the ComprehensiveEconomic and Trade Agree­ment between Canada and

Europe and the revisedTrans­Pacific Partnership,the Canadian dairy marketis becoming increasingly ac­cessible. These deals havecreated opportunity towardmaintaining equilibrium be­tween supply and demand.

Yet nothing is done tosupport our dairy industry,to make it more competi­tive. Supply management isessentially an unattainableideal. Rules are rapidlychanging around the indus­try, but the systems underwhich farmers and familyfarms work aren't being re­tooled to match these newchallenges and to manage avery different business.

If dairy farms are to be­come more competitive,farmers need to developnew skill sets.

After decades and despiteoverwhelming politicalhypocrisy, many Canadiandairies are finally showingsigns of common sense.

Québec remains painfullyand stubbornly idle. Butother provinces appear tosee the writing on the walland are taking specific, tar­geted measures to demon­strate how supplymanagement can change.

It's apparent that supplymanagement has become abargaining chip with theUnited States in this roundof trade negotiations. Thathas many people bracingfor significant changes.

To show real leadership inforeign trade policy, Ottawawill need to give somethought to how to supportour dairy farmers as theirindustry is disrupted.

Sylvain Charlebois is deanof the Faculty of Manage­ment and a professor in theFaculty of Agriculture at Dal­housie University, senior fel­low with the AtlanticInstitute for Market Studies,and author of Food Safety,Risk Intelligence and Bench­marking, published by Wiley­Blackwell (2017).

Inspector Nathan Schmidtwith the O.P.P. He's seenmany cadets go on to behired with the police forceand encouraged eachcadet to believe in thecharacter traits and train­ing they are developingand the potential it wouldyield in the future. "Youmay not realize it now, butthe training will help youovercome many of life'schallenges. I encourageeach of you to keep doingyour part to ensure thatthe air cadets remain suc­

cessful and available forothers in the future. I en­courage you to take ad­vantage of all that thecadets have to offer. Youwill appreciate it when youget older."

Captain Dawn Grayechoed the sentiments ofthe previous speakers incongratulating the parentsand community organiza­tions and businesses whooffer continuous support."The cadets have workedvery hard to make this asuccessful year. Without

you, they wouldn't havebeen able to [do it] with­out you." But her finalwords were to the cadetsthemselves, and as shestood before them, shebeamed with pride. "Youare the reason we're here.. . Through highs and lows,you continued to try. I'mextremely proud of howhard you all worked andhow you all turned out.Without your hard workand dedication, this yearwould not have turned outas well as it has."

The cadets pay close attention to any and all commands called out by Warrant Of­ficer Second Class DeGagne. Upon the declaration of "March!" the squad quicklymoves into action, and turns the corner together when WO2 DeGagne calls out,"Left wheel!"

The top male and top female award go to Flight Corporal Fur­long (behind) and Leading Air Cadet Langevin, handed out by#908 Rainy Lake RCACS Commanding Officer Captain DawnGray.

Flight Sergeant Sinclair received the Core Value Award from Mr.Gordon Woollard, a long time supporter of the cadet programand veteran.

Inspector Schmidt gave out the Lord Strathcona Medal, thehighest achievement medal in the cadet program, to WarrantOfficer Warrant Officer Second Class DeGagne.

Following the review, cadets had the chance to speak to thepublic about their passionate pursuits and extra training, likeLeading Air Cadet Saciuk and her participation in the EffectiveSpeaking Program. Other displays included survival training,drills, leadership, fitness, biathlon, marksmanship, and more.

LaVerendrye Hospital Auxiliary Highlights

Jim O’Neilby Bob Durnin withFrank Durnin

Jim has two problemsthat hinder his advance­ment at Inco. One is hisspeech impediment. Theother is that Jim has nopatience with pettyupper­strata politics andstuffed shirts. He willnever rise higher thanField Geologist/Area Su­pervisor, and that is finewith Jim. He never com­plains about it, but oncein a while indicates to ushis frustration with uppermanagement.

Jim tells us a story ofcoming into work onemorning dressed for theoffice. He had beenspending some weeksanalyzing data on a proj­ect and so was wearing asuit and tie to work.(When Jim was not in thebush he was a prettysnazzy dude.) The districtgeologist told him that ashowing in a hot areanorth of Sudbury had tobe looked at ASAP, andhe (Jim) had better getdown to Lake Ramsay(right handy in SouthSudbury) and catch anAustin Airways Beaver,already warmed up andwaiting.

Jim did so, flew north toa lake, hustled in to theshowing with hisprospector's hammer andpacksack, mapped theshowing, hammered offsome samples andbooted it back to theplane. It had started torain after they left Sud­bury, but that didn'tdeter Jim. Copper Cliffwanted that info, and Jimgot it.

He returned to theplane soaked to the skinand in ruined streetshoes, the pilot said,

“Sorry Jim, I can't chancethe weather, we'll have tospend the night.” whichthey did, trying to getsome sleep on the floorof the Beaver, wet andshivering.

The weather brokeshortly after daybreak,and they returned toRamsay Lake. Jim hus­

tled back to Copper Cliff,walked into the geolo­gist's office and handedover the samples.

“I'll wr­wr­write up a r­r­report for you r­r­rightaway.” says Jim.

Oren P. (the district ge­ologist) looked at Jimstanding there in his ru­ined clothes with disgust.“You've got no businesscoming in to workdressed like that. Gohome and come backlooking half­decent.”

About five years laterJim would exact some re­venge at his own retire­ment party. I was notthere. I had severed myties with Inco and was1200 miles away, but thestory rippled out throughthe northern bush andhundreds of old bush­whackers gave Jim an“Attaboy!”

The party was well at­tended by managementbrass and older field per­sonnel. Henry Levac andFreeman Marshall werethere, among others. Allhad worked with Jimand/or for Jim.

The brass made a fewspeeches, making sure toblow their own horns asthey congratulated Jimon his years of faithfulservice. Then it was Jim'sturn to speak.

Jim stood up at thehead table and said, “Iwant some of you men tostand up as I call yournames.”

He didn't need a list ofthese men. He knew whohe wanted. “Henry Levac,Freeman Marshall, AlBeauchamp.” …and onhe went until 15 or 20men were standing in theaudience.

“How many of you havecollege degrees?” heasked. No hands went up.“I thought so.”

Jim turned to look atthe others at the headtable, and then back tothe crowd. “I want every­body to look at thesemen,” said Jim. “Theseare the men who froze inthe winter, sweated inthe summer, swatted themosquitoes and broughtus the information toprocess. You are the menwho made Inco, not us.Give yourselves a hand!”

And they did – even thehead table honchos, al­though a few looked likethey had eaten a lemonfor dessert.

During the after­dinnerpress­the­flesh session,the district geologistshook Jim's hand. “How’sthe ulcer, Jim?” he asked.

Jim replied, “I'm g­g­glad you asked me Oren,because y­y­you're the s­s­s­sonofabitch who g­g­gave it to me.”

That was J­J­Jim – andwe all loved him!

Part 1 of 3

by Melissa FriesenThe young people have

spoken! After 280,000 ele­

mentary and high schoolstudents across Ontarioparticipated in the StudentVote program, AndreaHorwath and the NDPhave won the majoritygovernment. That's a totalof 2,166 schools from all124 electoral districts.Here in the Rainy RiverDistrict, the students inLaurie Moxham's fifthgrade class at RobertMoore School were able tocast their vote.

"Students elected An­drea Horwath and the On­tario NDP to form amajority government with66 out of 124 seats and 32percent of the vote," ac­cording to the press re­lease. "She also won in herelectoral district of Hamil­ton Centre with 49 percentof the vote. Doug Ford andthe PC Party of Ontariotook 45 seats and will formthe official opposition, re­ceiving 27 percent of thepopular vote. Ford won inhis electoral district of Eto­bicoke North with 46 per­cent of the vote. KathleenWynne and the OntarioLiberal Party won 11 seatsand received 19 percent ofthe vote. Wynne was de­feated in her district ofDon Valley West by On­tario NDP candidateAmara Possian; Wynne re­ceived 26 percent of votescast, compared to Poss­ian’s 30 percent. The Green

Party of Ontario won 2seats: Guelph and ParrySound–Muskoka. In total,

the party received 13 per­cent of the popular vote.Leader Mike Schreinerwon in his electoral districtof Guelph with 36 percentof the vote." This yearmarks the fifth instalmentof the provincial­level Stu­dent Vote in Ontario. Par­ticipation has remarkablyincreased by more than 60percent compared to the2014 Ontario provincialelection. Four years ago,173,072 votes were re­ported from 1,388 schools.In Student Vote Ontario2014, students elected aLiberal majority govern­ment

The students in RobertMoore had been learningabout the Canadian gov­ernment for about amonth before they voted.Students had the opportu­nity to become familiarwith specific details aboutthis current election, butalso the grander story ofdemocracy and the powerof one's voice. “They re­searched one candidatefrom our riding and sharedthe information with theclass. They learned aboutthe voting process andwhat it means to be a re­sponsible citizen ofCanada,” said Laurie Mox­ham.

According to their pressrelease, “Student Vote isthe flagship program ofCIVIX, a national civic edu­cation charity focused on

developing the habits ofactive and engaged citi­zenship among youngpeople. CIVIX program­ming focuses on thethemes of elections, gov­ernment budgets, electedrepresentatives and newsliteracy. Elections Ontariois the non­partisan agencyresponsible for administer­ing provincial elections,by­elections and referendain Ontario.”

In some races across theprovince, the differencebetween first and secondplace was a matter of 25votes or less. And whilemore than 268,000 ballotswere accepted, 7,103 wererejected, 2,562 declined,and 2,935 were unmarked.

Considering what a busytime of year it can be for aclassroom, the Presidentand CEO expressed thanksto all the teachers whomade the effort to get in­volved. “More than 5,000teachers have made citi­zenship education a prior­ity. We are sincerelygrateful for the time andenergy dedicated to theprogram by teachers.”

For Laurie, this wasn'tthe first time her class hasparticipated. They've beenable to vote in the studentprogram during the previ­ous federal election aswell. The experience isnothing but positive forher, and worth the invest­ment. “The students en­joyed the hands onexperience of voting in amock election," and shefound that the learningnaturally extended beyondthe classroom, since elec­tion campaigns are so vi­sual to the public. “Whilelearning about the electionprocess and the candi­dates, [the students] weretalking at home with theirfamilies and noticing signsaround town. It is a greatprogram that might helpstudents become more in­terested in the govern­ment at an early age.”

Update on the baby eagle story

The baby eagle is doing well at Shades of Hope, thanks in part to Mike Schiebler atIsaiah Wildlife Sanctuary in Emo who drove all the way to southern Ontario todrop him off. After another surgery and recovery this little bird may be wellenough to come back. On another note ­ The Isaiah Wildlife Sanctuary would bepleased to have donations of fish to feed the eagle that is currently in care there.
