"The ragged edges of the temperate rainforest reach far out onto an island in the western seas. It is a place where one chooses to go ahead or turn back…"
In a prequel to the award-winning Red: A Haida Manga, acclaimed artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas blends Asian manhwa/manga with the Haida artistic and oral tradition in another stunning hand-painted volume.
In a small near-future community perched between the ocean and the northern temperate rainforest, a series of disasters is taking a heavy toll. It is early fall and a fuel spill has contaminated the marine foods the village was preparing to harvest. As food supplies dwindle, a small group decides to make a late-season expedition to search for sea lions. Surprised by a ferocious storm, they abandon one man, Carpe, on an isolated rock at sea. After ten days they are finally able to return, but he has vanished. The story follows Carpe's encounters with the Lord of the Rock, who demands retribution for Carpe's role in the hunt, and Carpe's fate in the half-life between human and animal, life and death.

Mink is a witness, a shape shifter, compelled to follow the story that has ensnared Celia and her village, on the West coast of Vancouver Island in Nu:Chahlnuth territory. Celia is a seer who - despite being convinced she's a little "off" - must heal her village with the assistance of her sister, her mother and father, and her nephews. While mink is visiting, a double-headed sea serpent falls off the house front during a fierce storm. The old snake, ostracized from the village decades earlier, has left his terrible influence on Amos, a residential school survivor. The occurrence signals the unfolding of an ordeal that pulls Celia out of her reveries and into the tragedy of her cousin's granddaughter. Each one of Celia's family becomes involved in creating a greater solution than merely attending to her cousin's granddaughter. Celia's Song relates one Nu:Chahlnuth family's harrowing experiences over several generations, after the brutality, interference, and neglect resulting from contact with Europeans.

From the author of the YA-crossover hit The Marrow Thieves, a propulsive, stunning and sensuous novel inspired by the traditional Métis story of the Rogarou--a werewolf-like creature that haunts the roads and woods of Métis communities. A messed-up, grown-up, Little Red Riding Hood.
Broken-hearted Joan has been searching for her husband, Victor, for almost a year--ever since he went missing on the night they had their first serious argument. One terrible, hungover morning in a Walmart parking lot in a little town near Georgian Bay, she is drawn to a revival tent where the local Métis have been flocking to hear a charismatic preacher named Eugene Wolff. By the time she staggers into the tent, the service is over. But as she is about to leave, she hears an unmistakable voice.
She turns, and there Victor is. The same face, the same eyes, the same hands. But his hair is short and he's wearing a suit and he doesn't recognize her at all. No, he insists, she's the one suffering a delusion: he's the Reverend Wolff and his only mission is to bring his people to Jesus. Except that, as Joan soon discovers, that's not all the enigmatic Wolff is doing.
With only the help of Ajean, a foul-mouthed euchre shark with a knowledge of the old ways, and her odd, Johnny-Cash-loving, 12-year-old nephew Zeus, Joan has to find a way to remind the Reverend Wolff of who he really is. If he really is Victor. Her life, and the life of everyone she loves, depends upon it.
"Empire of Wild will not let you go. Mix werewolves unlike you've ever read before with the mythos-expanding struggles of American Gods and blend with Cherie Dimaline's newest heroine, the complex and wonderful Joan of Arcand, and the result is inventive, engrossing, poetic and thrilling. Empire is Dimaline's most accomplished book yet." —Eden Robinson, author of Monkey Beach and the Trickster trilogy
"Cherie Dimaline has written a wondrous and deeply felt novel about hypocrisy, power imbalance and the strange, dangerous space between reality and belief. Dimaline is one of the most honest and fearless writers of her generation, and Empire of Wild is an honest and fearless book." —Omar El Akkad, author of American War
"A magical, electric novel that merges our modern urban world with the mythology of an uncolonized landscape. Dimaline's descriptions are vivid and sordid and so, so alive. She creates a whole world of hope and hatred in the figure of a hot man in a '79 Impala, and then takes you into the woods where a wolf dressed in a fine suit threatens to swallow you whole in disturbingly erudite language. The wonders of Indigenous values and their struggle to survive against insidious Western ideology and culture are framed in a wild adventure that cements Dimaline's talents as a magical realist provocatrice." —Heather O'Neill, author of The Lonely Hearts Hotel
"Empire of Wild is doing everything I love in a contemporary novel and more. It is tough, funny, beautiful, honest and propulsive—all the while telling a story that needs to be told by a person who needs to be telling it. The book feels like now, and we need more stories from Native communities to feel that way. She knows this community and this community will know she knows it when they read her, but it will resonate with so many more. Cherie Dimaline is a voice that feels both inevitable and necessary." —Tommy Orange, author of There There

Louise Erdrich, the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of LaRose and The Round House, paints a startling portrait of a young woman fighting for her life and her unborn child against oppressive forces that manifest in the wake of a cataclysmic event.
The world as we know it is ending. Evolution has reversed itself, affecting every living creature on earth. Science cannot stop the world from running backwards, as woman after woman gives birth to infants that appear to be primitive species of humans. Twenty-six-year-old Cedar Hawk Songmaker, adopted daughter of a pair of big-hearted, open-minded Minneapolis liberals, is as disturbed and uncertain as the rest of America around her. But for Cedar, this change is profound and deeply personal. She is four months pregnant.
Though she wants to tell the adoptive parents who raised her from infancy, Cedar first feels compelled to find her birth mother, Mary Potts, an Ojibwe living on the reservation, to understand both her and her baby's origins. As Cedar goes back to her own biological beginnings, society around her begins to disintegrate, fueled by a swelling panic about the end of humanity.
There are rumors of martial law, of Congress confining pregnant women. Of a registry, and rewards for those who turn these wanted women in. Flickering through the chaos are signs of increasing repression: a shaken Cedar witnesses a family wrenched apart when police violently drag a mother from her husband and child in a parking lot. The streets of her neighborhood have been renamed with Bible verses. A stranger answers the phone when she calls her adoptive parents, who have vanished without a trace. It will take all Cedar has to avoid the prying eyes of potential informants and keep her baby safe.
A chilling dystopian novel both provocative and prescient, Future Home of the Living God is a startlingly original work from one of our most acclaimed writers: a moving meditation on female agency, self-determination, biology, and natural rights that speaks to the troubling changes of our time.
"Erdrich's inclusiveness, her expansive vision of humanity surprises and pleases on every page…Erdrich's virtuosity reminds me of an eagle in flight…Her wisdom blossoms from multicultural sources and is always inviting the reader in, in, to deeper understanding and identity." — Hudson Review
"A streamlined dystopian thriller…Erdrich's tense and lyrical new work of speculative fiction stands shoulder-to-braced-shoulder right alongside The Handmaid's Tale."— Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air
"Erdrich stuns again in Future Home of The Living God…She grounds her story in a kind of sharply drawn reality that makes the standard tropes of dark futurism that much more unnerving…Erdrich is a writer whose words carry a spiritual weight far beyond science, or fiction."— Entertainment Weekly
"Erdrich is a seer, a visionary whose politics are inextricable from her fiction…[Future Home of the Living God] is an eerie masterpiece, a novel so prescient that though it conjures an alternate reality, it often provokes the feeling that, yes this is really happening." — O, The Oprah Magazine
"In this fast-paced novel, rapid and catastrophic changes to human reproduction make the survival of the race uncertain…Erdrich imagines an America in which winter is a casualty of climate change, borders are sealed, men are 'militantly insecure,' and women's freedom is evaporating…Vivid…Compelling."— New Yorker

In Richard Van Camp's fictionalized north anything can happen and yet each story is rooted in a vivid contemporary reality. The stories offer a potent mix of tropes from science fiction, horror, Western and Aboriginal traditions. The title story pits Torchy against Smith Squad, fighting for love and family in a bloody, cathartic, and ultimately hopeful narrative. Van Camp's characters repeatedly confront the bleakness of sexual assault, substance addiction and violence with the joy and humour of inspired storytelling.
When Lucas Smoke learns the Ojibway art of carving from his grandfather, he proves to be a natural. He can literally make people come to life in wood. Then Lucas's growing reputation attracts a mysterious stranger, who offers him a large advance to carve a spirit mask.
This mask is to represent the master, but Lucas must find its face in his dreams. As his dreams become more and more disturbing, he feels himself changing. And the mask takes control of his life. Then a chance encounter with an old woman introduces him to the identity of the master. He is an ancient sorcerer named Him Standing, a powerful and dark wizard. The more Lucas works on the mask, the closer Him Standing comes to emerging from the dream world to walk the earth again. What follows is a race against time and the forces of evil in this supernatural thriller.
"In an efficient yet engaging writing style, Wagamese portrays Lucas as a likeable hero with a distinct voice and perspective. Amy acts as a solid foil to Lucas, and the two develop each other in showing their vulnerable sides...The pace is snappy; events follow on each other's heels like dominoes at a rate sure to keep the reader hooked on the storyline. Recommended."— CM Magazine, February 2013
"Perfect for mature reluctant readers, ESL learners, or anyone who enjoys a good story."— VOYA, June 2013
"Wagamese dips into deep issues such as balance in the universe and the power of fear, and wraps them up into a mystical story that clips along and clocks in at 129 pages. An impressive feat. Also impressive is the voice he creates for Lucas; the young man's internal dialogue feels genuine throughout."— The Coastal Spectator, June 2013

Master Tłı̨chǫ storyteller and bestselling author Richard Van Camp captures the shifting and magical nature of the North in this stunning collection of short stories.
The characters of Moccasin Square Gardens inhabit Denendeh, the land of the people north of the sixtieth parallel. These stories are filled with in-laws, outlaws and common-laws. Get ready for illegal wrestling moves ("The Camel Clutch"), pinky promises, a doctored casino, extraterrestrials or "Sky People," love, lust, and prayers for peace.
While this is Van Camp's most hilarious short story collection, it's also haunted by the lurking presence of the Wheetago, human-devouring monsters of legend that have returned due to global warming and the greed of humanity. The stories in Moccasin Square Gardens show that medicine power always comes with a price.
To counteract this darkness, Van Camp weaves a funny and loving portrayal of the Tłı̨chǫ Dene and other communities of the North, drawing from oral history techniques to perfectly capture the character and texture of everyday small-town life. "Moccasin Square Gardens" is the nickname of a dance hall in the town of Fort Smith that serves as a meeting place for a small but diverse community. In the same way, the collection functions as a meeting place for an assortment of characters, from shamans and time-travelling goddess warriors to pop-culture-obsessed pencil pushers, to con artists, archivists and men who just need to grow up, all seeking some form of connection.

A daring post-apocalyptic novel from a powerful rising literary voice.
With winter looming, a small northern Anishinaabe community goes dark. Cut off, people become passive and confused. Panic builds as the food supply dwindles. While the band council and a pocket of community members struggle to maintain order, an unexpected visitor arrives, escaping the crumbling society to the south. Soon after, others follow.
The community leadership loses its grip on power as the visitors manipulate the tired and hungry to take control of the reserve. Tensions rise and, as the months pass, so does the death toll due to sickness and despair. Frustrated by the building chaos, a group of young friends and their families turn to the land and Anishinaabe tradition in hopes of helping their community thrive again. Guided through the chaos by an unlikely leader named Evan Whitesky, they endeavor to restore order while grappling with a grave decision.
Blending action and allegory, Moon of the Crusted Snow upends our expectations. Out of catastrophe comes resilience. And as one society collapses, another is reborn.
"This slow-burning thriller is also a powerful story of survival and will leave readers breathless." — Publishers Weekly
"Rice seamlessly injects Anishinaabe language into the dialogue and creates a beautiful rendering of the natural world. . . This title will appeal to fans of literary science fiction akin to Cormac McCarthy as well as to readers looking for a fresh voice in indigenous fiction." — Booklist
"Perfect for those who read Iain Reid's Foe this summer and are looking for something in the same vein." — The Globe and Mail
"The creeping tension and vividly drawn landscapes make Waubgeshig Rice's characters choices all the more real." — Toronto Star
"Moon of the Crusted Snow asks how do we live in a good way during the collapse of the infrastructure that supports modern life? For Evan Whitesky, the answer lies in rekindling Ojibwe, the old ways, language and culture. For other characters, when the food runs out, all options are on the table, no matter how gruesome. As the tensions between those surviving the end of modern civilization build to a harrowing conclusion, Rice deftly weaves tender family moments with his brutal survival scenes in the unforgiving northern Ontario winter. Chilling in the best way possible." — Eden Robinson, award-winning author of Monkey Beach and Son of a Trickster

Shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize: With striking originality and precision, Eden Robinson, the author of the classic Monkey Beach and winner of the Writers' Trust of Canada Fellowship, blends humour with heartbreak in this compelling coming-of-age novel. Everyday teen existence meets indigenous beliefs, crazy family dynamics, and cannibalistic river otters...The exciting first novel in her trickster trilogy.
Everyone knows a guy like Jared: the burnout kid in high school who sells weed cookies and has a scary mom who's often wasted and wielding some kind of weapon. Jared does smoke and drink too much, and he does make the best cookies in town, and his mom is a mess, but he's also a kid who has an immense capacity for compassion and an impulse to watch over people more than twice his age, and he can't rely on anyone for consistent love and support, except for his flatulent pit bull, Baby Killer (he calls her Baby)--and now she's dead.
Jared can't count on his mom to stay sober and stick around to take care of him. He can't rely on his dad to pay the bills and support his new wife and step-daughter. Jared is only sixteen but feels like he is the one who must stabilize his family's life, even look out for his elderly neighbours. But he struggles to keep everything afloat...and sometimes he blacks out. And he puzzles over why his maternal grandmother has never liked him, why she says he's the son of a trickster, that he isn't human. Mind you, ravens speak to him--even when he's not stoned.
You think you know Jared, but you don't.
"Eden Robinson's Son of a Trickster is a novel that shimmers with magic and vitality, featuring a compelling narrator, somewhere between Holden Caulfield and Harry Potter. Just when you think Jared's teenage journey couldn't be more grounded in gritty, grinding reality, his addled perceptions take us into a realm beyond his small-town life, somewhere both seductive and dangerous. Energetic, often darkly funny, sometimes poignant, this is a book that will resonate long after the reader has devoured the final page." —2017 Scotiabank Giller Prize jury (André Alexis, Anita Rau Badami, Lynn Coady, and Richard Beard)

From the internationally acclaimed Inuit throat singer who has dazzled and enthralled the world with music it had never heard before, a fierce, tender, heartbreaking story unlike anything you've ever read.
Fact can be as strange as fiction. It can also be as dark, as violent, as rapturous. In the end, there may be no difference between them.
A girl grows up in Nunavut in the 1970s. She knows joy, and friendship, and parents' love. She knows boredom, and listlessness, and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world, and the raw, amoral power of the ice and sky, the seductive energy of the animal world. She knows the ravages of alcohol, and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust. She sees the spirits that surround her, and the immense power that dwarfs all of us.
When she becomes pregnant, she must navigate all this.
Veering back and forth between the grittiest features of a small arctic town, the electrifying proximity of the world of animals, and ravishing world of myth, Tanya Tagaq explores a world where the distinctions between good and evil, animal and human, victim and transgressor, real and imagined lose their meaning, but the guiding power of love remains.
Haunting, brooding, exhilarating, and tender all at once, Tagaq moves effortlessly between fiction and memoir, myth and reality, poetry and prose, and conjures a world and a heroine readers will never forget.
- Winner of the 2019 Indigenous Voices Awards for Published Prose in English.
- Winner of the 2018 Alcuin Society Awards for Excellence in Book Design – Prose Fiction
"Tagaq's surreal meld of poetry and prose transmutes the Arctic's boundless beauty, intensity, and desolation into a wrenching contemporary mythology." –The New Yorker
"Though the protagonist's coming-of-age story, generously and lovingly documented by Tagaq, is the anchor, Split Tooth is not a book that can be fully absorbed in one sitting. It's possible to sink deeper and deeper into the narrative with each successive reading. Like a smirking teenager, Split Tooth blithely gives typical literary expectations the finger, daring us to see and experience narrative as chaotic, emotional, and deeply instinctive. And it succeeds." –Quill and Quire
"Tanya's book is one of the most incredible things I've ever read. It's deeply profound, emotional and personal, and furthers her artistic experimentation and genius into a new realm. I love her even more after reading it, and I'm once again awed by her talent." –Jesse Wente, CBC Broadcaster
"[A] forceful coming-of-age tale." –Toronto Life magazine

"Taaqtumi" is an Inuktitut word that means "in the dark"—and these spine-tingling horror stories by Northern writers show just how dangerous darkness can be. A family clinging to survival out on the tundra after a vicious zombie virus. A door that beckons, waiting to unleash the terror behind it. A post-apocalyptic community in the far North where things aren't quite what they seem. These chilling tales from award-winning authors Richard Van Camp, Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley, Aviaq Johnston, and others will thrill and entertain even the most seasoned horror fan.

A forgotten Haudenosaunee social song beams into the cosmos like a homing beacon for interstellar visitors. A computer learns to feel sadness and grief from the history of atrocities committed against First Nations. A young Native man discovers the secret to time travel in ancient petroglyphs. Drawing inspiration from science fiction legends like Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury, Drew Hayden Taylor frames classic science-fiction tropes in an Aboriginal perspective.
The nine stories in this collection span all traditional topics of science fiction--from peaceful aliens to hostile invaders; from space travel to time travel; from government conspiracies to connections across generations. Yet Taylor's First Nations perspective draws fresh parallels, likening the cultural implications of alien contact to those of the arrival of Europeans in the Americas, or highlighting the impossibility of remaining a "good Native" in such an unnatural situation as a space mission.
Infused with Native stories and variously mysterious, magical and humorous, Take Us to Your Chief is the perfect mesh of nostalgically 1950s-esque science fiction with modern First Nations discourse.

Hey...sign me up... I will lock in for another Decade!
hanah posted a topic in GENERAL DISCUSSIONI am so tired of the "SIDE RESTRICTION DELAY". I for 1 can tell you that all it does is waste time in my life that I cant get back. I will never play the opposite side because of a 2:00+ wait. Honestly, I am not sure that anyone logging in will sway which side they play because of a time delay, so why have it? Now, I have a very small window of opportunity to sit down and immerse myself into a world that allows me to forget about reality for 30 minutes at a time. Based on a 2:00 minute side restriction and then the usual 1:00 minute spawn delay that goes with it, you have taken 10% of my pleasure away from me every time i try to escape and relax. In other words, every 10 times I play, I give 1 away! I have been in this game since Night time was really night (you couldn't see your hand in front of your face), When a filled up truck with Infantry was what we called our mobile FRU, when we had convoys of 20+ tanks, driving down the road to stock up on(resupply) at closer towns for a grand attack, When a tank could take down a FB, and when SMG and Rifle were your only choice. I had no children, I had no grey hairs and I was about 50 pounds lighter. I have had opinions, hopefully more constructive than complaining, but this time I must complain. This loss of time can not be justified! The lopsidedness of logged in players will always be an issue. The attempt of using the character issue of patience on your paying customers is a poor attempt to alleviate the issue! However, and I hope it's not true, I did hear that if you have a builder account, you never get a side or spawn restriction... this is nothing less than extortion! Regards, Hanah
hanah replied to hanah's topic in COMMUNITY SUPPORT (WINDOWS)Well, I fixed it. I did a system restore, then Add/Remove programs, deleted the WWIIonline ... Then started up the game and had quite a patch to download. I am on Fios and it took me about 25 minutes to download the patch, so if ur Internet is very slow.... dont do it this way and pray someone answers this and gives you the correct way to repair, what I like to call.... The wonderful world of WWII Patches....
hanah posted a topic in COMMUNITY SUPPORT (WINDOWS)I keep getting this "Authentication Failed" when the game is loading up. I downloaded the patch and lost all my sound. I had to do a system restore and since then I cant get in game. It just keep saying at load up screen, Authentication failed. Please help.... thanks

The news that Garrett Rank was to be exempted into the Windsor Championship Golf Tournament was announced both by the player and on the official tournament website.

More on Garett Rank
Garrett Rank is known both in the golfing circles as well as in the National Hockey League fraternity. In golf, Garett has been a participant at major golfing tournaments in Canada. He has also participated in other golfing tournaments in the United States, in fact, his recent appearance in a major golf tournament came in the U.S Open Golf Championship.

Hatha Yoga for All Levels - Weekly!
Hatha yoga is a slower-paced practice, where yoga poses (asana) are held for a few breaths. This Hatha class will often include breathing techniques and meditation as well as asana. If you are new to yoga or if you want to deepen your practice, Hatha style yoga allows the time and space to become familiar with yoga poses. Although Hatha yoga can still be challenging too!
In Sanskrit, "Ha" represents sun and "tha" represents moon. This alludes to the opposites in our lives, such as yin and yang, light and darkness, hard and soft, vigorous and gentle. Hatha yoga is about finding balance. Through working with the physical body, releasing tensions and traumas stored in the body, you create space in yourself and, through that space and balance, the opportunity for spiritual growth.
Benefits of a regular Hatha yoga practice:
- Makes the body stronger and more flexible.
- Release tension and trauma stored in the body.
- Calms the mind.
- Creates space in body and mind and in that space you find 'balance' and the opportunity for spiritual growth.
This class is taught by Carrie McAllen, a Registered Yoga Teacher. Please bring your own yoga mat.

HISTORICAL RESEARCH: GATHERING MATERIALS The focus of my research was the Proceedings of three Joint Committees on the Constitution and the Proceedings of the Standing Committee on Indian Affairs and Northern Development and its sub-committees. 14 Speaking with Authority I used these sources primarily because, from my own recollections, they had the makings of a good story which had not previously been told.
I have chosen to restrict my use of the term "Native" to those represented by the Native Council of Canada for two reasons. , they would hold their land in the same manner as settlers. Generally speaking, this was the distinction between those represented by the National Indian Brotherhood and those represented by the Native Council in the 1970s. Secondly, many Indian leaders, in the 1970s, held that certain ministers of the government preferred the term "Native" because it was consonant with the government's desire to avoid dealing with promises, obligations and relationships set out in the treaties.
What actual changes resulted from the supposed 1971 withdrawal of the White Paper? Or, from the 1973 statement of the then Minister of Indian Affairs, Jean Chrétien, that the NIB position paper, Indian Control of Indian Education would become departmental policy? In none of these cases is it evident that the mere uttering of a policy statement established a policy direction. Thirdly, when several departments have a role in a given policy arena there is little historical evidence to support an expectation that all departments will follow the same policy.

12. Think about, plan and use evaluation effectively from early on.
Evaluation can serve a number of purposes and result in very important benefits for projects. Increasingly, sponsoring agencies (e.g. the ALTC) have evaluation requirements as part of the conditions of funding for some projects.
Traditionally the two principal purposes of project evaluation have been formative and summative, with the greatest emphasis being on summative. Both of these purposes, along with others, are explored in the paper by Boyle & Griffiths (2010) (see below).
Good evaluation hinges on having clear and appropriate Evaluation Questions (EQs). They focus evaluation work and in addition help to keep Project Leaders' and teams' eyes on what's important in a project. EQs will vary with the evaluation purpose. Those used for formative evaluation need to focus on matters that will enable improvement of aspects of a project in progress (e.g. communication), whereas questions to guide summative evaluation are usually broader in focus and concern dimensions of merit for the project overall (e.g. how well the project objectives were achieved). More details on EQs are provided in the paper cited above and the ALTC resource Evaluating Projects (Chesterton & Cummings (2007). Link
The best piece of general advice we can give on evaluation is to view it in an integrative way. To get the most from evaluation for a project, see and use it as:
(a) an integral strand of project planning and implementation (operations); and (b) processes that facilitate project success, and not simply as something done towards the end to report on achievements (e.g. provide data or findings)
Related to this, is the idea that evaluation activity should be happening from early in a project and throughout its life. This doesn't mean spending a lot of time on it, but there are important things that can be done early that facilitate better evaluation and project implementation. Examples include: asking key stakeholders to suggest their project success criteria; setting up ways to monitor the project's critical success factors; developing understandings (and/or a plan) with stakeholders to enable them to provide feedback on important stage-based project outcomes; and thinking ahead about possible key evaluation questions for summative evaluation.
Supplementary Comments
The historical norm for evaluation of funded projects in Australia, whether in universities or elsewhere, has been to have quite limited expectations. Typically, some kind of end-of-project summative evaluation might be required. This is changing, with a trend towards increased expectations that projects have a clear evaluation strategy as an integral part of the project design. More funding agencies are insisting on explicit information about evaluation as part of project proposals, and evaluation is being expected to serve at least the formative purpose, in addition to the summative. An increasingly common requirement is provisions for systematic stakeholder engagement with evaluation during the project (e.g. to get their feedback and judgments; and to keep them involved in decision making about the project).

A 19-year-old Delton man has been arrested on multiple charges pertaining to child sexual abuse, according to a statement released by the Michigan State Police on Wednesday.
Dakota Chilton is being charged with child sexually abusive activity, possession of child sexually abusive material, distributing or promoting child abusive commercial activity, and using computers to commit a crime.
The investigation was initiated when a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tip was forwarded to the Fifth District Computer Crimes Unit, and detectives learned that Chilton possessed child sexual abusive material.
A search warrant was executed at Chilton's home and digital evidence was seized. An interview of Chilton was also conducted during which digital evidence was seized. Troopers from the Michigan State Police Wayland Post assisted with the search warrant.
The Michigan State Police Computer Crimes Unit encourages parents to speak to their children about the safe use of the internet. There are many resources available to parents to assist in keeping children safe online. The NCMEC provides a comprehensive list of resources on their website at missingkids.org.
Information regarding possible child sexual exploitation can reported at the CyberTipLine at missingkids.org/cybertipline.

Fortuna Tulsa focused on continuity from its inaugural 2018 season, and it was rewarded with an undefeated 2019 regular season. [Lori Scholl, Fortuna Tulsa]
TULSA, Oklahoma — Fortuna Tulsa clinched an undefeated regular season campaign last Saturday when it defeated Texas Spurs FC 2-1 in front of its home fans at ONEOK Field.
For Tulsa coaches and players, the undefeated season marks the culmination of a journey defined by determination, grit and work ethic.
Fortuna hosts its first playoff match Saturday vs. AHFC Royals to determine the Red River Conference champion. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. CST at Titan Sports Complex.
After struggling through a middling season in 2018, Tulsa returned with many of the same players. The team had finished the 2018 season in third place in the Red River Conference, narrowly missing post-season play.
This season, though, the team arrived with a new level of vigor and determination and left nothing to chance.
Fortuna began the season with an impressive five-game winning streak before tying at Oklahoma City FC, a game that would prove to be their toughest test of the regular season. Fortuna scored two goals in the final 21 minutes to earn the point, which clinched the North Division championship.
For coach Yolanda Thomas, the team's success can be attributed to a combination of continuity and a strong chip on their collective shoulder.
"The players are committed, competitive and on a mission to win," Thomas said. "Having a good amount of returners from last year allowed us to develop team chemistry pretty quickly as well, and many of us felt like we had something to prove after a less successful season last year."
Fortuna proved to be not only more than a force to be reckoned with but also a legitimate championship contender.
Offensively the team has been carried by their dangerous duo of Shiloh Price and Taylor Malham. Price recently finished her career at the University of Oklahoma, where she featured as one of the team's strongest midfielders. During her senior year, Price scored two game-winning goals for the team in high-level Big-12 Conference play.
Malham has been an absolute sensation for the University of Arkansas. Preparing to enter her junior year with the team, Malham has started every single game of her career while tallying 12 goals in two seasons.
With Fortuna Tulsa, both players have been spectacular. The two lead the team with four goals each and are first and second on the team with assists. Thomas praised both, specifically citing Price's leadership ability.
"Shiloh is not only a great player but a great teammate and leader," Thomas said. "She has made an immediate impact on both sides of the ball and can play multiple positions. Her composure in front of goal in high pressure situations has also proven valuable."
In Malham, Thomas believes that Tulsa has one of the most dominant athletes in the WPSL. Her scoring ability and positional flexibility has translated seamlessly from SEC play into the WPSL.
"Taylor is such a gift to this team, her work ethic and fitness level is second to none," Thomas said. "She can also play in many different positions and creates goal-scoring opportunities no matter where she plays. She's tough to deal with for defenders — her mere athleticism is tiring for others — and she opens up play for her teammates so well."
With regular season play behind it, Tulsa turns its attention to the postseason. After completing an undefeated regular season, the team is hoping to prove themselves as a member of the WPSL elite.
"Now that we enter the post season, our goals haven't really changed," Thomas said. "We will continue to put our best foot forward, play with passion and heart, represent the city of Tulsa well and hope we continue to walk away with wins."
Regardless of what transpires in the postseason, there is no doubting that Fortuna Tulsa has represented the city with heart and class.

20 October 2015
By Zoya Svetova, journalist, member of the Moscow Public Monitoring Committee, winner of the Moscow Helsinki Group prize for the defence of human rights:
Source: Moscow Helsinki Group
Original source: Ekho Moskvy
Open letter to the Human Rights Ombudsperson, Ella Aleksandrovna Pamfilova
I am forced to address this request to the chief human rights defender in the country - simply because there is no one else to turn to.
Oleg Navalny, who with the consent of the head of Penal Colony No. 5 in Orel region wrote a column for The New Times magazine, has been placed in solitary confinement in a punishment cell for 15 days.
The column, entitled 'Potemkin Prison' was announced on Sunday evening, the magazine ent on sale on the morning of Monday, 19 October, and in the afternoon came the news that Oleg Navalny had been dispatched to solitary confinement. The official reason is that they found prohibited items. The last time they put Oleg in solitary confinement (for "disrupting the daily routine"), it followed an announcement by his brother, Aleksei Navalny, that a rally was to be organised for free and fair elections.
On 27 October Oleg Navalny was to have had a long meeting with his wife and son. It is now unlikely to happen.
They might ask me: what can even the most senior human rights defender in the country do if the management of the colony has decided that Oleg Navalny disrupted routine life in the colony and kept prohibited items, i.e. that he deserved solitary confinement?
I think the Human Rights Ombudsperson could send a mission to this colony to conduct an assessment because this is a warning sign: if one can, just like that, dispatch a prisoner to solitary confinement immediately after his article appears in a magazine, the publication of which had the prior approval of the management of the colony (the publishing contract between The New Times magazine and Oleg Navalny was presented to the Penal Colony No. 5 in Orel region – and the contract was similar to one that Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Maria Alekhina signed with the magazine), then what can you do to other people in this colony, whom nobody has heard about?
We know of several such cases. In October 2008, seven years ago, Mikhail Khodorkovsky was put in a punishment cell in the Chita remand prison where he was then held after his correspondence with Boris Akunin appeared in Esquire magazine.
Sending an undesirable prisoner off to be incarcerated or placed in solitary confinement is a favourite pastime of prison bosses. Normally, placing someone in isolation like that goes unchallenged.
One day, when I arrived at Mordovia Penal Colony No. 18 at the request of prisoners who had been beaten there, listened to their complaints, and then went to visit Zara Murtazalieva at the women's colony, I was told that she had been sent to solitary confinement literally an hour before my arrival - they had found a sharp instrument in her bed.
When they let Zara out, she told me that she had seen them plant the sharp instrument. She took the case to court in an attempt to challenge her placement in solitary confinement, but nothing came of it: all the witnesses - her neighbours in her wing - refused to testify.
And now today, when everything seems futile and Oleg Navalny has to sit out 15 days in solitary confinement, I appeal to you, Ella Aleksandrovna, to send your officials to the village of Naryshkino and Penal Colony No. in Orel region. Have them investigate the situation.
Could it just be that Oleg Navalny's column "Potemkin prison" has nothing to do with it? That he really is an inveterate rule breaker?
Or could it simply be that this all happened precisely because of what he wrote in his column: "Convicts don't like Putin or the government; they curse them using strong words that are sometimes new to me. Having said that, nearly all of them support Russia's policy in Ukraine and in Crimea... But then the opinion of staff who work in the correctional facilities is shifting little by little. The fly of redundancies and slashed bonuses is steadily spoiling the so recently sweet ointment of patriotism.

Prepare For The Winter Season:
Driving a tractor trailer in serious Canadian winter conditions, demands a specific set of skills for all drivers, especially big rig drivers. Too many drivers on the highways do not alter their driving habits, when driving in poor weather conditions. Good maneuvering and skid control skills are essential in poor weather.
Knowledge and implementation of proper, preventative safety skills for driving in poor conditions, can truly separate the seasoned driver vs a driver who is just starting their career. They have the knowledge and experience for making good decisions and are cognizant when conditions are not safe, and when it's time to 'get off the road'.
Driving in bad weather, especially in snow and on ice, is risky due to more 'stop time' required, poor visibility, poor traction and the increased unpredictability of other drivers on the road. The job of a truck driver becomes increasingly challenging, especially when handling a tractor trailer and a full load in foul winter weather.
Safe Winter Truck Driving Safety Tips
Slow down – Accidents during suspect conditions are mostly due to excessive speed. Driving at the speed limit may be legal, but is often too fast for snow covered or icy road conditions in our Country. Take as much time as necessary. DO NOT HURRY! Speed is dangerous. This rule should ALWAYS be at the top of any winter trucking safety tips list.
Keep a safe following distance – Leave plenty of room between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of your truck, and beside your truck, when possible (approx. 1/4 mile).
Don't travel as part of a pack – Traffic seems to move in 'packs' on the highway. Find a safe way to get away from the pack and travel alone, with the goal being to maximize the distance around your vehicle.
Don't follow the tail lights of the vehicle ahead – When the snow is so heavy, visibility is low, seeing the tail lights of the vehicle ahead…means following too closely.
Keep a safe driving distance back at all times, especially in bad weather. If the leader makes an error, you will too. Trucks can leave the road, and yours could follow the lead truck off the road.
Use good, solid judgment — If the weather is so severe that you need to get off the road….. do it. Find a place to get off the road safely and wait until conditions are safer for travel.
Don't stop on the shoulder of the road –– Especially in low visibility situations, when driving in winter, especially 'blinding snow', other vehicles can mistake your position for being on the road and as a result, may slam into the back of your rig.
Don't try to be a hero –– When the road conditions are severe, you need to recognize that it's very dangerous to be out there. Hours of service rules, dispatchers etc., are sometimes extra pressures. Don't feel that you're letting anyone down by not meeting a scheduled appointment.
Braking – Some drivers like to use the jake brakes in less than perfect weather conditions. Some don't. DO NOT ENGAGE THE JAKE BRAKE ON ICY ROADS. Try to avoid overusing your foot brake, unless the entire unit is absolutely 'straight' on the road. Don't over brake when the entire unit isn't straight… the trailer can slide and spin you out of your position…..the truck slows down, and the trailer does not. This is especially true, when the trailer is empty.
Tire Chains- With the rising cost fines in our mountainous regions, ensuring your tire chains are in working order and utilizing them during mandatory periods, is paramount in the safety of your truck.
Ensure 'all systems' are a go — Be absolutely certain during your circle checks before you leave, that the defroster and heater are working properly. Wipers, wiper motor, lights, esp. brake and tail lights, washer fluid is topped up, drain moisture from the air tanks, all brakes are set up and windows and mirrors are completely clean before departure.
Keep fuel tanks topped up, for extra weight over the drive tires, to aid with traction. Good quality lug tires, with the proper tire pressure, are essential for good traction for the best safe winter driving.
Keep tractor and trailer lights clean — When you're able to stop in a safe place, clear the lights off of snow and ice, which builds up in foul weather….they are vital, more than ever when visibility is poor. LED lights especially accumulate snow and crud. Keep everything clean, so you can BE SEEN!

Back To School
- by Don Stewart
With The Return To School Around The Corner, Please Slow Down!
School days bring congestion: Yellow school buses are picking up their students, kids on bikes are hurrying to get to school before the bell rings, and harried parents are trying to drop their kids off before work.
It's never more important for drivers to slow down and pay attention than when kids are present especially before and after school.
If You're Dropping Off
Schools often have very specific drop-off procedures for the school year. Make sure you know them for the safety of all kids. More children are hit by cars near schools than at any other location, according to the National Safe Routes to School program. The following apply to all school zones:
·Don't double park; it blocks visibility for other children and vehicles
·Don't load or unload children across the street from the school
·Carpool to reduce the number of vehicles at the school
Sharing the Road with Young Pedestrians
According to research by the National Safety Council, most of the children who lose their lives in bus-related incidents are 4 to 7 years old, and they're walking. They are hit by the bus, or by a motorist illegally passing a stopped bus... A few precautions go a long way toward keeping children safe:
·Don't block the crosswalk when stopped at a red light or waiting to make a turn, forcing pedestrians to go around you; this could put them in the path of moving traffic
·In a school zone when flashers are blinking, stop and yield to pedestrians crossing the crosswalk or intersection
·Always stop for a school patrol officer or crossing guard holding up a stop sign
·Take extra care to look out for children in school zones, near playgrounds and parks, and in all residential areas
·Don't honk or rev your engine to scare a pedestrian, even if you have the right of way
·Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians
·Always use extreme caution to avoid striking pedestrians wherever they may be, no matter who has the right of way
Sharing the Road with School Buses
If you're driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children.
·Never pass a bus from behind or from either direction if you're on an undivided road if it is stopped to load or unload children
·If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop
·The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus
·Be alert; children often are unpredictable, and they tend to ignore hazards and take risks
Sharing the Road with Bicyclists
On most roads, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as vehicles, but bikes can be hard to see. Children riding bikes create special problems for drivers because usually they are not able to properly determine traffic conditions. The most common cause of collision is a driver turning left in front of a bicyclist.
- When passing a bicyclist, proceed in the same direction slowly, and leave 3 feet between your car and the cyclist
- When turning left and a bicyclist is approaching in the opposite direction, wait for the rider to pass
- If you're turning right and a bicyclists is approaching from behind on the right, let the rider go through the intersection first, and always use your turn signals
- Watch for bike riders turning in front of you without looking or signaling; children especially have a tendency to do this
- Be extra vigilant in school zones and residential neighborhoods
- Watch for bikes coming from driveways or behind parked cars
- Check side mirrors before opening your door
By exercising a little extra care and caution, drivers and pedestrians can co-exist safely in school zones. Please Slow Down!

Top Fleet Employers 2018
- by Don Stewart
The Top Fleet Employers program is open to fleets of every size and type. A panel of trucking and logistics industry experts and a Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) validated the Top Fleet Employer Program's rating criteria. The rating criteria reflect Canadian human resources issues, trends and working environments, and Trucking HR Canada's standards of excellence.
The criteria consider every position in a fleet. They also take into account special considerations affecting different types of fleets. For example, the criteria applied to for-hire fleets are firmly rooted in the core values of the Canadian Trucking Alliance's Blue Ribbon Task Force on the Driver Shortage. The criteria and evaluation of private fleets and fleet services account for their unique working environments and requirements within the overarching criteria of the program.
Fleet employers apply and participate in a rigorous three-part review of their human resources policies and programs. The review includes the completion of a pre-application, a comprehensive online submission (which may or may not include follow up discussions with the company) and a Trucking HR Canada survey of the company's employees. The review assesses the scope of an employer's formal HR policies and programs in four key categories: Basics, Respect, Training and Family.
Congratulations to our members who have been recognised as Top Fleet Employers in 2018, what an incredible honor.

2019 Manitoba Spring Road Restrictions
- by Don Stewart
The Provinces Spring Road Restrictions Program (SRR) is upon us, with the start date scheduled for March 15, 2019.
The purpose of Spring Road Restrictions is to protect Manitoba's surfaced pavements from undue damage by reducing allowable axle weights during the spring thawing season. In consultation with those affected by these weight reductions, Manitoba Infrastructure periodically revises its policies and procedures to reflect the current transportation trends, industry needs and weather patterns. Up to date policies and procedures help industry improve trip planning while minimizing the impact of loads to the weak pavement structures when they are at their most vulnerable conditions.
The SRR official start and end dates have been published and available below:
2019 Spring Road Restrictions Order for the Start and End Dates
The Province Issues Notification Of Affected Highways
Spring road restrictions are determined through collection and analysis of data from the previous year, resulting in the evaluation and determination of which roads will be subject to restriction in the upcoming spring season. To assist motor carriers, farmers, businesses and other interested parties in preparation, the SRR order is what identifies the affected roadways, This order is made available on the MI website in the fall with subsequent update(s) as required. Advertisements announcing that the upcoming spring road restrictions order is available throughout the year, and information on how to obtain the Order, are published in the fall and in February in various publications.
If you're unaware of the Spring Road Restrictions Order, please use the link below:

Engine Braking Within Municipal Boundaries
- by Don Stewart
When Should "Jake Brakes" Be Used?
Use of Engine Retarder Brakes:
Engine retarder brakes are used in many heavy trucks as a supplement to the vehicles service brakes. The principle behind the engine retarder brake is that it changes the action of the exhaust valves, turning the engine into an air compressor. Engine brakes use the characteristics of the diesel engine to produce a significant amount of drag through the vehicles drive train to the wheels. This allows the service brakes to stay cool and ready for emergencies. Retarders serve to slow the vehicles, or maintain a steady speed while traveling down a hill, and help prevent the vehicle from "running away" by accelerating down the hill.
Engine retarder brakes provide increased driving safety in difficult weather and road conditions, including ice, snow and wet or gravel road surfaces and especially when travelling downhill.
Engine retarder brakes can help provide:
Faster, steadier, more efficient braking performance.
Reduced wear on engine, tires, and service brakes.
Less vehicle downtime.
Enhanced driver confidence.
When Shouldn't "Jake Brakes" Be Used?
Safety/By-Law Implications:
Actions restricting the use of engine retarder brakes will have legal and safety implications since truck drivers often rely on engine brakes in controlling their vehicles under various situations.
In 1998, the City of Winnipeg enacted a by-law which prohibits the use of engine retarder brakes (Jake brakes) within the city boundaries.
By-law 68.
A person must not
(a) except in any emergency, engage, operate, apply or otherwise use an engine retarder brake in any vehicle driven within the City of Winnipeg;
Additionally, the City of Winnipeg has posted signs at the outskirts of the city to advise drivers of this by-law.
Unfortunately some drivers choose to ignore the by-law and signs, and continue to use their engine retarder brakes within the city limits. As members can appreciate, the resulting noise can be a great annoyance to residents in the close proximity.
We must do our best to respect the rights of our city residents and to this end the MTA is requesting that members remind their drivers of this by-law and also to advise them not to use this braking system within the City of Winnipeg boundaries.
Your cooperation and assistance in addressing this issue, is greatly appreciated.

Keep Flatbed Drivers SAFE At Worksites
- by Don Stewart
The Canadian Trucking Alliance produced a multimedia toolkit to assist industry, governments as well as injury prevention stakeholders in promoting truck driver safety at workplaces and shipping facilities.
The media toolkit features 'whiteboard' animation videos and digital infographics in English and French, which provide facility operators helpful tips on improving safety and reducing injury risk to flatbed truck drivers in particular.
Through the whiteboard video and infographics, CTA illustrates 'best' and 'poor' practices at workplaces facilities and reminds site operators of their responsibilities to ensure safety on their premises.
While the media material focuses mostly on flatbed drivers, many of these types of issues are relevant in other sectors. For example, grain haulers are often forced to clean residual grain from their vehicles in unsafe environments as well.
"CTA encourages carriers to share this information with their customers to promote best practices when loading and unloading flatbed trucks," said Stephen Laskowski, president, CTA. "For our part, the Alliance requests ESDC works with CTA to encourage shippers and receivers to create safer workplaces and to work with provincial authorities to enforce the law against those who create dangerous conditions for drivers of flatbed trucks as well as other configurations requiring drivers to work in situations covered by fall protection regulations."
