As was told to me last week by Mr. Peter McKenzie, Counsellor on Local Advisory Committee, employee of Valard:
“ Last year in August we finally had a meeting, the last one we had. We’ve had no meetings since then. Val ( Ms. Val Antoniuk, administrator in La Ronge Municipal Office for the Northern Settlement of Brabant Lake) said while we were doing the budget. ‘ We have
$30, 000 left over. Does anyone have any ideas how they want it spent?
Rebecca ( Mayor ) said nothing. Harriet ( Counsellor) said nothing. I said ‘ lets get a plow in here and make a really good fire guard all around the town.’ Val said that wasn’t a good idea and she wouldn’t support that. I said ‘ What’s more important than people’s lives and safety?’
She said nothing.”
Last spring I wrote a letter complaining about a secret “winter carnival” that was just an excuse for an Easter drunk and dope session. The Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs in Regina wrote back and defended the non- event and said that this is the last time that he would answer any of my letters. The Municipal Affairs Office in Regina according to the Deputy Minister is not interested in whether Brabant Lake and the people exist, drugged or otherwise. The Municipal Office in La Ronge according to the past and current record of Val Antoniuk preferred Brabant Lake people stoned and undefended from forest fires.
There are five to eight young men in the village who are obvious candidates for immediate fire fighters. They are not available because they are wasted with drugs, particularly with marijuana. Marijuana is a major fire hazard because people are careless and indifferent on pot. They could drop a match, watch the flames with some interest and walk away indifferent to what this may do to the lives and homes of others and themselves.
At the beginning of summer Brabant Lake was a prime candidate for forest fires . Our puny fire guard has been untouched for 10 years. There is thick forest in the middle of the village which could ignite the whole town in minutes. We have no fire safety equipment and no fire plan. John and I got on our “ radio” which is a loud speaker and two mikes and asked people to pray for rain. We said the Litany of Loreto more than once as out pray. There was no forecast for rain and no evidence that any was coming. Thirteen people voluntarily evacuated due to dangerous smoke from other fires. It began to rain and did not let up for a week. The evacuees were home in two days. There was a slight break so we could plant our buckthorn seaberry trees.
We were evacuees for two weeks because we went south and could not pass the fires leading to and from La Ronge. When we came home on the first convoy we found Brabant Lake was an oasis compared to the fires and smoke we had passed through. It’s nice that God, at least cares whether the people and this village survive.
SOLUTIONS:
1. Listen to the people who have fought fires and lived through them all their lives. Let people have fire guards and clear out thick brush within the community.
2. Do not allow people to buy lots then leave them unattended and unused. Put lots at a reasonable price, not $2000 for a rectangle of unserviced brush . In the south often villages have policies of lots for $50,00 on the condition that the owner builds within a few years.
3. Seriously get tough on drugs including and especially marijuana . Work at stopping it from coming into the communities. Young people won’t quit with counselling. They go to Southend Clinic and pick up drugs on their way home or get them from the medical taxi driver. Have regular police checks of vehicles including grocery runs BEFORE Brabant Lake and BEFORE La Ronge. If judges and politicians think marijuana is not dangerous then have them start listening to those who have experienced part or all of the 40 year northern plague.
4. Have tree planters plant with much wider spaces between saplings.
Insist that tree planting contractors make empty spaces every one mile or so. Maintain these cleared spaces annually. Do not let marijuana be part of the accepted tree planter culture as it is now. There is a Tree Planter’s not so cute book, complete with photos, that treat marijuana like the British Empire’s 4 o’clock tea ritual.
5. Make fire guards through the unclaimed brush. If its Crown Land then the Crown ( the government) needs to be good stewards and accountable.
6. Make people accountable including public servants such as Ms. Antoniuk and the Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs. Gay

$150,000 and I didn't even go
JMJ
June 25, 2013
Well that great Canadian, 25 yr.old Jonathan Toews ( pronounced Taves, good Mennonite name) won the Stanley Cup, err, I mean ,the Chicago Black Hawks won.
This posting is written by me but it is actually the posting of our neighbours.
Brian McKenzie got a settlement of $10,000 because he allegedly went to the Anglican Residential School in La Ronge. One neighbour says that he only went for a month. Another person looked through the records of Ospwakun Sepe School ( the public day school) and found that he was enrolled there through the period that he claimed he went to the residential school . As soon as he got the $10,000 he filled out a form for a Special Case. In the last few weeks he received $140,000. The community has been suffering from his wild sprees ever since. I asked people what is the logic of this ? Why did he get $150000.? No one could tell me.
He gave one sister , who has a well paying job $20,000 He gave another a $1000 and another nothing. His sister could have also got the same amount of money but she didn’t bother. He bought one of his brothers a truck. He bought one for himself for $7000. He never gave his parents anything. No one could tell me why. Perhaps the parents know the Ten Commandments too well including “Thou shalt not steal” and “Thou shalt not lie”.
Since we came 17 years ago Brian has had a track record of heavy dope usage, woman beating, serious physical abuse against his former girl friend’s children, threatening us with burning down our house and the mission school, serious attempts to kill us, serial womanizing usually ending with violence against them, and corrupting minors . When he wants to party he takes over other peoples’ houses . Everyone is afraid of him with good reason .Last Sunday there was a rock through the window of the chapel door. It is naturally assumed that he did it. Only he has the strength and the motivation to throw a rock through plexiglass into the middle of the chapel. He hates any thing about Christianity and probably needs to be exorcised. This is not a joke.
He bought two cases of whiskey , cost about $600 to $1000. “ Most of it was stolen from him.” Does this community need Brian to have $150000 of unearned money got by fraud? How many Brians are there all over Canada terrorising their own families and communities?
There is not one case of proven residential school abuse. There is not one case of proven fraud either . No court procedures, due process or legal defence was allowed. This whole racket begun 40 years ago by Liberal Prime Minister Pearson who has been exposed as a high ranking Communist and by his protege Prime Minister Trudeau who was blatently a fellow traveller of Castro and the Soviet Kremlin. This whole corruption of native people is squarely on the Record of the Liberal Party. As long as the native vote was delivered no accountability or public scrutiny was allowed for the millions that went through Liberal Party Organisations like Federation of Sask. Indians, Brotherhood of.. et c.
People believe that some natives are getting money because they were sexually and physically abused after they were forcibly yanked from their families. No person went to residential school without their parent’s permission unless the child was an orphan or a ward of the state ( foster child). Corporal discipline did not and does not constitute abuse under Canadian law. Catholic parents sent their children to Catholic Schools, Anglican parents to Anglican Schools. People got sums of money just because they attended and in many cases like Brian even if they never attended. One person who got money because her sister- in- law registered her personally told me “ I don’t remember going to residential school. I was in the TB sanitorium those two years.” Gay
