EXTRAORDINARY USES FOR LEMON
Clean and Whiten nails Pamper your fingernails without the help of a manicurist. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon to 1 cup warm water and soak your fingertips in the mixture for 5 minutes. After pushing back the cuticles, rub some lemon peel back and forth against the nail. Cleanse your face Clean and exfoliate your face by washing it with lemon juice. You can also dab lemon juice on blackheads to draw them out during the day. Your skin should improve after several days of treat-ment. Freshen your breath Make an impromptu mouthwash using lemon juice straight from the bottle. Rinse with the juice and then swallow it for longer-lasting fresh breath. The citric acid in the juice alters the pH level in your mouth, killing the bacteria that cause bad breath. Rinse after a few minutes, because long-term exposure to the acid in the lemon can harm tooth enamel. Treat flaky dandruff If itchy, scaly dandruff has you scratching your head, relief may be no farther away than your refrigerator. Just massage 2 table-spoons lemon juice into your scalp and rinse with water. Then stir 1 teaspoon lemon juice into 1 cup water and rinse your hair with it. Repeat this daily until your dandruff disappears. No more itchy scalp, and your hair will smell lemon-fresh.
Whiten clothes
Diluted or straight, lemon juice is a safe and effective fabric
whitener when added to your wash water. Your clothes will also
come out smelling lemon-fresh.

SECURE CERTIFICATE OF INDIAN STATUS (Indian Status Cards) Update July 2011
_________________________________________________ Information from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada website
http://www.ainc-gc.ca/br/is/index-eng.asp ________________________________________________
To date, only a select few INAC regional offices in Canada are issuing the new Secure Certificates of Indian Status (status cards). Ontario is not on the list currently, but Ontario First Nation citizens can get their new cards at INAC Headquarters, Gatineau, QC. NOTE: Appointments are recommended and can be made by calling 1-877-710-2908. All First Nations will continue to issue the current version of the status card (Certificate of Indian Status (CIS) ). BORDER CROSSING: INAC has been advised that for a reasonable transition period the United States Department of Homeland Security will continue to accept the current Indian Status Card as a valid document when visiting the US via land and water ports of entry. The Government of Canada cautions individuals that the period and extent of this flexibility is entirely at the discretion of U.S. officials, and reminds travelers that when entering the U.S. via air, a valid passport or NEXUS card is required. If you urgently require documentation for visiting the United States, please access the following link for Passport Canada: http://www.passport.gc.ca/index.aspx?lang=eng For information on documentation requirements for visiting the United States, please contact INAC’s Border crossing section: http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/br/is/scs/bdc-eng.asp
to join me for “Story Time”
The “story time” evening will be on
Wednesday, October 17, 2010 at 6:30 pm. in the Health Centre Round Room
The idea of our story time evening is to read to the children, share different books
with them, and to help them gain an appreciation for reading and literacy. The earlier children are read to the better,
they begin to learn from reading almost instantly, it also helps to in-crease their vocabulary and feeds their im-
agination!!
Our story time evening will be a half hour, parents or a parent must attend “story
time” with their child/children. There will be light snacks and beverages
to enjoy as well.
At the end of each “story time” evening, the children will have the opportunity to
choose a book to take home and keep to start building their own book
collection or add to a collection they have already started!
Please join me for “Story Time”

Footsteps In Time Leaders Training Date:Tues October 25
Where: Bonnechere Provincial Park Time: 8:30-3:30pm
Over the past year the Friends of Bonnechere Parks, Ki-dActive, the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn, and several oth-er cross-sectoral community partners have been working on a trail enhancement project called Footprints in Time (FIT). By design, FIT brings together non-traditional partners to collaborate and build on local strengths, accessible spaces, existing initiatives and combined expertise. Funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport, this pilot project is designed to get families and children physically active in the outdoors more often. FIT trails will provide enriched outdoor experiences, encouraging guided and self-guided users to embrace physical activity while exploring one’s natural and cultural heritage. The FIT project includes: A step-by-step how-to manual defining trial design,
and the collaborative process,• Templates for choosing natural and cultural heritage trail themes and topics
Experiential activities for children and families. Customized interpretive tools including a traditional
First Nation Teaching, action song, and museum-on-a-stick trail markers, and
Bonnechere Provincial Park’s Footprint in Time trail as a case study.
On Tuesday October 25 we will host an all-day workshop at Bonnechere Provincial Park designed to share these
tools with community leaders, municipal staff and recreational planners. The day will include facilitated
sessions and on-trail demonstrations. The workshop will run from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm; lunch will be provided.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to
[email protected] by October 20.
Look to October 28 for
Pikwàkanagàn visioning meeting. Our ultimate goal is to reinforce the importance of treating oneself and the environment with respect: to embrace a
culture of health and well-being that comes from time spent in the outdoors. Plan to Attend both days!

Dear Parents of Opeongo Students: The school year is off to a good start especially with our new start times, and hunting season is fast approaching. Here is some information that I hope is beneficial to parents and students. Cafeteria: We currently do not have a service provider at Opeongo, therefore we have no cafeteria. It is very important that students are packing a lunch, as our brains do not function well without nourishment. I have a microwave at student’s disposal to heat food, and emergency supplies available in my office. But I cannot stress enough that students must have some nourishment in order to support their learning. Attendance: A reminder that attendance is very important. Students should have a Dr.s note, dentist or legal documentation if they are away for an appointment and present it upon arrival back to school. If you know that your child will be away please contact the school at 613-735-7587 extension 200 to notify us. This helps our secretarial staff keep up to date records. Hunting: If a student is to be away, please send a note with dates and or call me at extension 209 and let me know. Students are aware of the attendance policy. Students should be advising their teachers and collecting the work they will be missing as it is their responsibility as young adults to keep up with their studies. Future Events: Parent Symposium- On October 22, the Parent Involvement Committee of the Renfrew County District School Board is hosting a one day symposium at Fellowes High School at 9 a.m. The Keynote speaker will be Dyan Eybergen. She is a renowned clinical psychologist and motivational speaker. Her address will be on the adolescent journey in today’s fast paced world. There will also be a variety of workshops on restorative justice practices, homework help, and healthy eating. Parent Interviews will be held on Thursday October 20th. Our first end of term marks will be on November 9th, which is during the deer hunting season, so students need to have all assignments completed to have a positive mark at mid term. Community Service Hours: Students must have 40 hours of volunteer hours in order to get their high school diploma. I encourage parents to encourage your child to get these hours done before they get to their graduating year. Students will not be able to graduate with out these hours. It could affect their application to college or university when it comes to their future plans. Forms are available in the school office. Graduates: Students applying to College or University will be starting to apply at the end of November. Please sit down and discuss your child’s future. Any questions please do not hesitate to call me. The annual Aboriginal Career Fair will be held at Opeongo on October 20th at 9:45 in the school cafeteria. I will be posting information hopefully each month in our newsletter about upcoming and important events.

Pikwàkanagàn in Search of Foster Parents We are in search for Aboriginal foster parents who are licensed,
or individuals who are willing to take the training to become a
foster parent.
Foster parents work together with Pikwàkanagàn Child & Family
Services/ Family & Children’s Services of Renfrew County staff to
develop a plan for each child in care. The ideal plan is usually to reunite a young person with his
or her family. When a reunion is not possible, the plan may require long-term foster care.
Foster families play an essential role in the child's daily life.
The stable and caring home environment that foster families provide helps encourage healthy
growth and development.
