Top of the morning to you all!
I am not like most people. Most people, everytime they want to drink, they get a new clean cup from the cupboard. Me, i use the same cup every day. As a matter of fact, i have even branded it to use as my own and me only. Anyweh, after a week or so of usuage, it starts to get stained and it starts to look dirty, so, when that happens i know it's time to clean it. LOL
Wait, wait, wait, i'm not finished yet, holy cow, why are you trying to rush out of here for? Anyweh, if my cup is cleaned by my wife or my daughters in less than a week's time, i get mad. I throw a fit. I make fists. I swear. I jump and down. I thrash my kitchen. I try to drown myself in the kitchen sink. So, if anyone comes to my home, leave my damn cup alone!! LOL
Okay, what is there to update about in Attawapiskat this morning. Hmm? There has been no fires lately. Yep. Knock on wood. "Knock! Knock!" LOL
Double Toonie Bingo tonight. I'm already rubbing my hands for this one. LOL
What else, oh yeah, they have started working where the new school is going to be. The land is still quite very small there. A lot of more ground work is still needing working. You know what? I thought in order for a large building to be constructed in a site somewhere, anywhere, you need environmental assessment done? LOL J/k!
Okay, i'm gonna go, you people have a nice day!
Me yo evening report peeps!
Nothing going on here really that anybody should be interested about, i've just slammed on my clock for countdown for bingo, that's all. LOL
Hey, my uncle and i went for a ride to the James Bay road. It took us about an hour going out and coming back. I drove very slow because the road was kinda rough pass the old road.
While out there, we saw a mallard duck that flew over us and he pooped on my truck that bastard. If only i had a shotgun i would had blasted out of the sky and he would had fell down near me already cooked. That's how good of a hunter i am! LOL J/k!
There's always a line outside the arena for a special bingo night. Sometimes, i just sit there staring at people and wondering what would happen if i go to the end of the line and push one person. They'd probably all fall down like dominoes. LOL Hmm? LOL
Life on the James Bay Coast has its pitfalls. Remote living can breed chaos, drug and alcohol abuse, and claim lives of youth before they have a chance to embrace their futures. This epidemic is one that the Elders of Moose Cree First Nation recognized and in the simple words of the late George E. Echum, a solution was found. "Take the youth out into the bush," he told Moose Cree Deputy-Chief Charlie Cheechoo. "Nothing fancy, just take them out." "He told me to take the kids out to teach them what my grandparents and Elders taught me as a boy, to reach out to the youth." Then, said Cheechoo, something incredible happened when he started Project George. The youth reached back. "They came to me and said, 'Can you help us? We dont know how to go out into the bush. We have parents who don't know how to go into the bush. So we took them into the bush and the whole thing kept rolling. Now it has been three years and what it has turned into is incredible." To Cheechoo, teaching youths the skills needed to thrive and survive in the wild transcends colour and creed. "We take any kind," he said. "It doesn't matter what colour your skin is. We take everyone and we teach them to be who they are, who they want to be." Three years later, the program is moving full steam ahead, with funding from Moose Cree First Nation, Ontario Northland Railway and Northern Store, each providing the services needed to maintain the camps, the transportation and the endless hungry teenage stomachs. In the short time this program has been introduced, Cheechoo has seen incredible changes in the youth he has worked with. "Youth have struggled to find their purpose in this modern world," he said. "They need to know that they have a rightful place in this world and to give themselves the opportunity to prosper." Cheechoo feels they have done just that. "The kids are changed. I've seen them change. And we take the difficult kids. The ones who come from the broken homes, the drug addictions. I've seen them go from the bottom of the gutter to becoming teachers and role models for other youths." Cheechoo was in Timmins this week to not only inform the community of the work that he has been doing, but above all, to ask for assistance. "We come down here, we come down from Moose Factory and Moosonee and we spent millions of dollars in Timmins," he said. "I am here to ask that the business owners in Timmins help my people the way that weve helped them over the years." Cheechoo maintains that he isn't asking for the millions back, just a gesture of goodwill and neighbourly support for those who buy their products and support their families. "We bring you business every day, every week, every month and every year. Help us help our own. Help us bring our youth the future they need so badly."
