Taking

About 330 students at Ecole secondaire catholique Algonquin took part in a Patrick4Life fundraiser recently. The
group raised $5,725 which will be used to help elementary students build healthy decision-making skills. Patrick’s
parents Christine and Richard Fortin talked to the students about their son who died at age 23 after battline AIDS
and Hepatitis C for most of his life. He contracted the diseases through tainted blood products meant to address
his hemophilia. The 6th annual Run- Walk4Patrick Family Fest is June 12 at the North Bay waterfront, and this year
marks the 5th annual Partici-Patrick Program involving all four school boards in the district.

“There you are Ric, I have been looking

“It is a lemon tree for you, my dear.”
“A lemon tree!” I exclaimed.“Whatever

With a bright smile, Ric replied “Oh it will

Sunday
supper
is back
ELIZABETH BAIRD
QMI Agency

I t’s strange how a good idea plays hide and seek. For
ages, nobody says a peep about gathering friends
and family around the table on a weekly basis.
Then, people start talking about how wonderful it is to
offer their loved ones a standing invite for Sunday supper.
No hard and fast rules.
You can come, or not.There will be food and drink and
a chance for a last hurrah before a new week begins.A
time to collect and connect over a simple meal.
Below you’ll find some recipes that may not sound like
Sunday dinner, but will work well for these friendly occa-
sions, as well as tips for making Sunday supper a regular in
your life.
These come from Lorna Harris, former Torontonian, now
a Victoria, B.C. resident, and a great practitioner and believ-
er in Sunday suppers that bring her friends, grown kids and
their friends together.
Herbed salmon filet on the barbecue
Impressive, yet so easy to cook, this is the sort of dish
Lorna Harris’ guests love. Double the recipe if the crowd
expands, or if cold salmon is one of your passions.
1 boneless salmon fillet, unskinned, 2 to 3 lbs. (1 to 1.5
kg)
2 Tbsp. (30 ml) finely chopped fresh dill, parsley or
basil
1 green onion, minced
1/2 tsp. (2 ml) each salt and pepper

enough for salmon. Using long lifter at wide end and tongs
at the other, transfer salmon to greased area. Brush half of Oven barbecued chicken
dill mixture over salmon. Close lid; cook for 15 minutes.
Brush salmon with remaining dill mixture. Increase heat Take advantage of a hot oven to bake
to medium. Grill without turning until salmon flakes easily potatoes at the same time.

Union of Ontario Indians new book


Doug Mackey
HERITAGEPERSPECTIVES

W e Are All Treaty People is a new book by


Maurice Switzer communications director at
the Union of Ontario Indians west of North Bay.
Charley Hebert provided the Illustrations. It is a clear
and readable overview of the life of native people to the
present day.
It shows their contribution and their negative treatment
over the years in land claims, residential schools etc.The
strong position of native people, agreed upon by the
Supreme Court and supported by the Canadian
Constitution, makes many of their treaty claims legitimate.
The book makes the optimistic assertion that with time,
education, jobs and justice native people will be better off.
It should be ideal for schools.
The book will be launched at Gulliver’s Quality Books &
Toys in North Bay Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m.
For other excellent information on native activities
check the Saturday Nugget where a full page is devoted to
their activities.
It is produced by the Union of Ontario Indians and is
called Niijii Circle.
