On behalf of the ItalianCanadian League ofManitoba I want to takethis opportunity to wisheveryone a Happy andProsperous 2011.

Over the past severalmonths, the League hasfocused its activities anddeliberations to improv-ing communications withmember clubs and theItalian Community. TheLeague has continued toprovide support to theCentro Caboto Board byreinforcing cooperationmechanisms and also byproviding financial sup-

port to the Centro asrequired and to the extentpossible. The League hashad discussions on theimpact of governmentfunding cutbacks on ourprograms and institutions,particularly the severefunding cuts announcedby the Italian government.

The economic recessionaround the world since2008 have impactedeveryone. Our communityin Winnipeg, and particu-larly the Centro opera-tions, has not beenimmune from this generalmalaise which is still con-tinuing.

The Italian Governmenttraditionally has providedsome funding to supportItalian language classesand also has funded theexpenses incurred by theOffice of our Vice Consul.In the past year this fund-ing has been reduced sig-nificantly and can nolonger be relied upon todeliver these services.Efforts are now underwayin our community toaddress this funding short-fall to both programs.

The Canadian andProvincial governmentshave also cutback on dis-cretionary grants fromwhich the Centro benefit-ted in the past. As well,the deteriorating economyhas placed additionalstrains on the Centrooperations, translating inless demand for bookingsand catering services. TheLeague is very apprecia-tive of the efforts by theCentro Board and staff tomanage the Centro budgetand ensure that bills arepaid on time and that thecash flow is managedcarefully.

The Centro is now 12years old and it is startingto show the wear and tearof an active facility.Immediate functional andaesthetic upgrades arerequired to maintain ourreputation for superbItalian cuisine and excep-tional service, to show-case our heritage, tradi-tions and culture, and tomake the Centro moreappealing to a moresophisticated clientele.

Over the next few weeksthe League and the

Centro Board will beembarking on a RenewalCampaign designed toupgrade and enhance theCentro to ensure that pro-gramming, catering andbanquet offerings meetthe needs of a changingdemographics, thus con-tributing to increase rev-enue generation andCentro sustainability inthe long term. TheLeague will be invitingour Italian community tosupport these efforts tomodernize the Centro andimprove its financialposition so that it cancontinue its role as thefocal point of our Italianculture and presence inWinnipeg. The details ofour capital enhancementplan will be unveiled atthat time.

In 1997 our communitycame together to fulfill adream and gave gener-ously to the fulfillment ofthis dream, which is theCentro Caboto.Today, the Centro hassurpassed the aspirationsof the original contribu-tors. Whether we areItalian business people,professionals or ordinary

individuals, all of us havebenefitted as a result of theCentro. The generalincrease in awareness ofItalian culinary productsand of all things Italianamong the general popula-tion, the strengthening ofour community profile,and the raising of our col-lective pride, have beenthe most significantachievements of theCentro over the past 12years.

Next time you visit theCentro stop by the donorwall inside the front foyer.For those of you whosename is on that wall weask that you consider ele-vating yourself to the nexthigher category of donorby pledging to contributethe difference in funding.If your name is not on thewall, please consider adonation that will allowyour name to appear, andbe recognized by our com-munity.Over the next few weeks,the League and the CentroBoard will also be unveil-ing a naming opportunityof all spaces at the Centro.In addition to have yourname on the donor wall,

you will be given a one-time option to haveyour name associatedwith a classroom, officeor any other space ofyour choice, subject tothe required contribu-tion. Call the office nowto reserve your favoritespace, so you will notbe disappointed later.

Please support theupcoming RenewalCampaign to ensure thatthe Centro will continueto serve our communityneeds and also that itwill be there for ourchildren and for ourgrandchildren.

The gift of communitygiving is one of thehighest contributions wecan make to our society.There is a saying that arising tide will lift allboats. Together we canmake this happen. Letus be "proud to ask andproud to give".

“ Proud to Ask and Proud to Give”

Connections come to LightCentro Caboto Centre isabout to get retrofittedwith new energy efficientlighting valued at over$14,000. This comesthrough the financial sup-port of the WinnipegFoundation, the RBCFoundation and the inge-nuity and generosity ofVince and AndreaAudino.

The story, however, isone about how a series ofconnections made thisproject happen.

Annually, the Centro’shydro costs top $35,000.With that level ofexpense, it’s no wonderthat looking for moreenergy efficiency was apriority for the Board andmanagement of the Centro.

“We came across andapplied for the WinnipegFoundation Enviro Grantto upgrade all florescentlight fixtures within thebuilding,” said MariellaDi Santo, the Centro’sExecutive Director. “Wewere fortunate to receive a$5,000 grant from theFoundation, but it wasn’tquite enough.”

That’s when Centro Boardmember Andrea Audinofortuitously had a conver-sation with her RBCDominion Securities advi-sor Paul Winestock.

“Paul told me that RoyalBank allocates 1.00% oftheir revenue each year tothe RBC Foundation, anorganization set up to fundcharitable organizations.RBC works with organiza-

tions to make a differ-ence in local communi-ties. The Foundationreceives approximately20,000 requests each yearfor funding,” said AndreaAudino.

“I made a requestthrough Paul for a dona-tion to the ItalianCanadian League ofManitoba, the Centro’sowner and a registeredcharity. The advisors atRBC Dominion Securitiescan assist with directionof funds on behalf of theirclients. Part of their serv-ice plan is to ask theirclients annually if theyhave requests for fundingand to which charity theclients would like thefunds directed to, andthat’s what Paul did.”Audino successfully

secured $2,000 from theRBC Foundation.

“Although $2,000 may bea small drop in the bucketfor RBC, it helps us toensure that the CabotoCentre will continue tothrive and be well-main-tained as a gatheringplace for the Italian com-munity,” she said modest-ly.

That left an outstandingbalance of about $7,000,and the next connectionwas made.

“We approached VinceAudino, a partner at 3Phase Electric who hadprovided the initial quoteon the project. On hisown initiative, he contact-ed Manitoba Hydro abouta grant or rebates. He

found a program thatwould cover $6,000towards the cost to replacethe existing fixtures with135 energy efficient ones,”said Di Santo.

That’s when Vince and hiswife Andrea completed thefinal connection when theydecided to donate theremaining $1,000 neededto cover the entire cost ofthe project.

“It’s really quite remark-able how one connectionled to another making thisproject possible. We areso grateful to theWinnipeg Foundation,RBC Foundation and mostimportantly, this dynamiccouple – Vince and AndreaAudino,” said ErminioCaligiuri, President of theItalian Canadian League of

Manitoba.

The new lighting will bemore energy efficientand will reduce hydrocosts.

You wouldn’t know it by

reading the papers, but

Italians are not all in the

Mafia

By ENZA MARTUC-CELLI

My heart sank onRemembrance Day whenI entered my local con-venience store to seesplashed across the frontpages of every newspa-per the image of NicoloRizzuto Sr., who was nota soldier, not a hero, andnot like 99.99 per cent ofthe Italians I know.

As a first-generationItalian-Canadian woman,dare I raise my voice tocomplain about themedia frenzy surround-ing the slaying of an 86-year-old Italian on theeve of RemembranceDay? Will I be ridiculedif I send my virtual“friends” an indignantmessage venting my out-rage?

How is it possible thatthe relatively soberCanadian media decidethat the life and times ofan old mobster are more

interesting to their readersthan the young men andwomen risking their livesin Afghanistan? What ofthe thousands of Canadiansoldiers who died in thebattle of Monte Cassino sothat my parents and grand-parents could be liberatedfrom the oppressive fascistdictatorship of BenitoMussolini?

Where is their story?Where is the story of myuncles, Italian resistancefighters who were sent toAuschwitz along with somany other brave Italianswho fought alongsideCanadians? What of thebattles that spilled theblood of young Canadianmen whose bones lie for-gotten in graves through-out Europe?

Italian immigrants havebeen productive, fullycontributing, law-abidingcitizens of every countryto which they emigrated.Our culture, our ingenuity,and our capacity for hardwork and sacrifice haveensured successundreamed of by ourancestors.

We overcame discrimina-

tion, economic hardship,and social isolation tobecome property owners,businesspeople, artists,writers, lawyers, engi-neers, and scientists with-in the span of a singlegeneration. Yet instead ofbeing celebrated for ourcollective contributions,we see that negativestereotypical images ofItalians monopolize thefront pages.

Remaining silent in theface of this does a dis-service to the richness,diversity, and brillianceof a vibrant culture thatcontinues to transformthe world. The negativefocus on our communitycould not have come at aworse time for those of uswho must also enduremedia reports of theantics of Italy’s embar-rassment-in-chief, SilvioBerlusconi.

My thoughts constantlydrift to my deceasedfather Armando, a brick-layer, and his struggle tofeed four children in win-ter when work wasscarce. The image ofItalians I have are of himand my uncles, getting up

in the middle of freezingCanadian nights toremove snow from citystreets. The image ofItalian women I know aremost like my mother,Albina, who worked as acleaning lady and whosedignity spared us fromknowing that we werepoor for many of ourearly years in Canada.

Those memories makethe Italian mob jokes andsarcastic remarks aboutmy “family” ties impossi-ble to bear. I am notunique; my memories ofthe discrimination andhatred we faced areshared by the vast majori-ty of Italians who immi-grated to Quebec after theSecond World War.

Grossly offensive TVshows that portray ouryouth as quasi-illiterate,sex-mad, drunken buf-foons, and Facebookapplications titled MafiaWars, reach huge audi-ences of young people. Awhole new generation isexposed, for hours andhours, to the perceptionthat most Italians areinvolved with or sympa-thetic to organized crime.

It is not a far stretch tofear that planted in thesubconscious psyche ofyoung people is the notionthat Italians are somehowgenetically disposed toviolence, crime, and cor-ruption.

Blame for the trivializationof our community does notrest solely with the media.There is a public appetitefor gossip, sensationalism,and entertaining styles ofreporting. Last week’sstory was too seductive foreven the most enlightenededitor to relegate to theback pages.

So ultimately it is weItalian-Canadians whomust actively promote thevalues that made us amodel community. Ourchildren have the right tobe proud of the brilliantlegacy the Italian-Canadian community hasleft them.

There are so many legiti-mately successful Italianswhose stories deserve tobe celebrated. Let’s cele-brate the best among usand so empower other eth-nic and cultural communi-ties to do the same.

We are not mobstersFinally, to all the non-Italians who keep asking:I do not live in St.Leonard. I am not marriedto, related to, nor do Iknow anyone in, connect-ed to, or sympathetic withthe Mafia. And NO, I didnot attend the funeral, soplease stop asking me!

In the pursuit of itsobjectives, theFoundation organizesfundraising events, suchas the annual Evening of

The 13th annual edition ofthis popular event will takeplace on Sunday, February

Barking up the Adoption TreeBy Anna Albo

Have you thought aboutadding a pet to the fami-ly? Have you wonderedwhere to start? Shouldyou get something small,or maybe something alittle larger? You couldpay a lot or a littledepending on the breed.

Or you could adopt.

Not only do dogs – andcats – make great com-panions, they can alsojumpstart your new fit-ness regime. The largerthe dog, the longer thewalk, the more caloriesburned! It’s also a greatway to meet members ofthe community and getto know your neighboursa little better and thereare more health benefits.Studies have shown thathaving a four-leggedbuddy around can helplower blood pressure andcholesterol.

Best of all, dogs areloyal, never talk backand their love is trulyunconditional.

There are many sizes,breeds and ages avail-able at various rescuesand agencies throughoutthe province. One suchagency is the City ofWinnipeg AnimalServices, better knownto many of us as ‘thepound.’ You may havewondered what happensto the dogs taken in bythe agency. Luckily,approximately 55 percent of them are returnedto their owners. As for

the others, the news isn’tbad. “The dogs in ourAdoption program arestray dogs picked up run-ning loose on the streets.Impounded dogs that arenot licensed and that havenot been identified becomethe property of AnimalServices after five dayswhile dogs wearing licens-es are held 10 days beforebecoming the property ofAnimal Services. The dogsare then assessed to see ifthey are suitable to go intothe adoption program orneed some extra work in afoster home,” said LornaVerschoore,Adoption/CommunityEducation Coordinator atCity of Winnipeg AnimalServices Agency.

“I adopted Jack (formallyAspen) from AnimalServices in late October of2010,” said RhondaKaluzny. “I was not look-ing for a puppy at the timeas I already have a largedog and three cats. We saidgoodbye to our dear Ladyabout a year and a half agoand our current dog, Bear,seemed increasingly morelonely. When we finallymet Aspen and his fostermom, we were blownaway by what a greatpuppy he was. BothAnimal Services and hisfoster mom were very hon-est with their requirementsfor his adoption. It wasvery evident both AnimalServices and his fostermom cared deeply for notonly this puppy, but alltheir dogs.”

The City of WinnipegAnimal Services Agency

has been adopting lostand abandoned dogs since2000. “In 2010 therewere 470 adoptions,” saidVerschoore. “This is a100% increase from twoyears ago.” Adoptionrates are affordable andvary from $67.20 to$218.40 depending on theage of the dog, and alladoption fees includemandatory spay or neuter,tattoo, microchip, sixweeks of pet insurance, aveterinarian check, basicvaccinations, dog licenseand a small bag of food.

Maybe you don’t thinkyou’re ready to adopt.You could foster. “TheFoster program allowsdogs that are not quiteready to come into theAdoption program achance to get furthersocilialized and spendtime away from the build-ing in a loving homeenvironment,” saidVerschoore. “Many timesthe dogs are over-whelmed being in a largeroom with up to 31 otherdogs.”

By fostering, you can seeif a dog fits into yourfamily or lifestyle. You’realso giving that dog abreak from the shelter aswell as providing valu-able information to anyprospective adopters.Korina Lynn has onlyrecently begun fosteringdogs from the City ofWinnipeg AnimalServices Agency.“Fostering was veryrewarding, knowing thatyou’ve helped the dog’s

chances of being adoptedand also gave a familylots of love and joy theywill get from their newbest friend.”

Korina fostered Mystique,who was later namedMaybe. “Maybe was atAnimal Services for sev-eral months before wetook her into our home asour first foster dog. Shereally needed a breakfrom the shelter and wasvery afraid of new situa-tions and had a fear ofcertain men. Once in ahome environment shebecame a new dog, curi-ous, friendly and sheloved to cuddle andlearned a lot of new tricksfrom our resident dog. Allshe needed was a littlestability and love.”

Tracy Mac, a volunteerand foster Mom for theCity of Winnipeg AnimalServices Agency is pas-sionate about what shedoes. “Last March Ibrought home my firstfoster, and failed miser-ably! I had Raya, a beau-tiful shepherd, for about aweek before I got ‘thecall’...someone wanted tomeet her. I was devastat-ed. When it becameapparent that she and theywere not a good match, Iquickly adopted hermyself.”

Since then, Tracy has fos-tered 12 dogs for theagency and one forManitoba GermanShepherd Rescue. “I’malways very diligentabout where the dogs are

adopted out to and try tomake sure that the homewill be loving, safe andPERMANENT,” she said.“One of my favorite fos-ters this past year wasOlive, a 17-year-oldChinese Crested cross.When I saw her picture onthe website, my heartbroke. A little old dog likethat did not deserve to bein a shelter. Olive wasvery quiet and shy when Ibrought her home andspent the first couple ofdays in the spare room.On the third day, she cameout into the living room,looked around and jumpedup on the couch as thoughshe owned the place!”

Tracy reports that Olive isnow living in a new homewith her sister Annie, whowas also found as a stray,and they are living in thelap of luxury.

If you still don’t thinkyou’re ready, or you can’tadopt because you live inan apartment or alreadyown three dogs, you canalways donate your timeor money. The dogs atCity of Winnipeg AnimalServices Agency love vis-its and people to takethem for walks. Call 311for more information ifyou’d like to volunteer,make a donation or toadopt. You can also visitthem at 1057 LoganAvenue to see if you findyour four-legged match.

“The best part of my jobis finding a new lovinghome for an abandoned

dog,” said Verschoore,who is also a RegisteredAnimal HealthTechnologist along withher duties as theAdoption/CommunityEducation Coordinatorfor City of WinnipegAnimal Services. “Thesedogs have been aban-doned usually for no faultof their own. In mostcases the owners have notbothered to train the dogand then the cute littlepup turns into an out ofcontrol youngster. To beable to give these dogs asecond chance and addinga new loving member tosomeone’s home is veryrewarding. It is a privi-lege not a right to own adog.”

Leland Gordon, theChief Operating Officerof Animal Services, saysthat a dog license offersthe ultimate protectionfor your dog. “A doglicense acts like alifeboat in a sea of straydogs. We desperatelywant to get dogs back totheir owners quickly anda dog license is the mosteffective way to get yourbeloved dog back”.

The fees collected areused to:

~Feed and shelter yourdog if it becomes lostuntil it can be re-unitedwith you.

~Transport lost dogs thatrequire emergency careto a veterinarian.

~Help neighbours resolvetheir problems related todogs.

~Return lost dogs to theirowners.

~Reduces funding fromtaxes for the above andother animal related serv-ices designed to protectthe public’s health andsafety.

Sadly the vast majority ofdogs brought into the Cityof Winnipeg AnimalServices Agency are notwearing a license. All dogssix months of age musthave and wear a license atall times and the failure tolicense your dog mayresult in a $250.00 fine. Your dog is entitled to onefree ride per license yearin the event that itbecomes lost and picked-up by the City ofWinnipeg Animal ServicesAgency. In 2010, almost340 dogs with licenseswere reunited with their

Notize dall’ItaliaNews from ItalyTerremoto Politico in Italia(NoveColonne ATG)Roma - Sul terremotopolitico che sta creandola vicenda Ruby, la dici-assettenne che si è pros-tituita a pagamento conSilvio Berlusconi, inter-viene il Quirinale. IlPresidente dellaRepubblica GiorgioNapolitano è ben con-sapevole del turbamento

dell'opinione pubblicadinanzi alla contestazione- da parte della Procuradella Repubblica diMilano al presidente delConsiglio- di gravi ipotesidi reato, e dinanzi alladivulgazione di numerosielementi riferiti ai relativiatti d'indagine. Senzainterferire nelle valutazionie nelle scelte politiche chepossano essere compiute

dal presidente delConsiglio, dal governo edalle forze parlamentari,egli auspica che nelle pre-viste sedi giudiziarie siproceda al più presto aduna compiuta verificadelle risultanze investiga-tive". Intanto, l'oppo-sizione va all'attacco conuna valanga di commenti: "Il mondo ci guarda, evisto che ce l'ha così

intensa, Berlusconi siritiri a vita privata"."Berlusconi ha infangatoil Paese, ha distrutto lanostra immagine inter-nazionale e non è più ingrado di rappresentare gliitaliani. Dopo questoennesimo scandalo, chestavolta riguarda addirit-tura la prostituzioneminorile, dovrebbe avereun sussulto di amor

patrio, dimettersi e farsiprocessare". Secondo ilportavoce del Pdl DanieleCapezzone invece "leparole del Presidentedella Repubblica vannosempre ascoltate conrispetto. Fermo restandoquesto punto irrinuncia-bile, non si può tacere laprofonda preoccupazionee anche l'angoscia per unasituazione in cui il cittadi-no Silvio Berlusconi edecine di altri cittadinisono sottoposti a un linci-

aggio pubblico senzaprecedenti".

Italia-Canada, Bucchino (PD): Pregi eLimiti del Nuovo Accordo(NoveColonne ATG)Roma - "Finalmente laCamera dei deputati haapprovato definitiva-mente il nuovo accordotra Italia e Canada con-tro le doppie imposizionifiscali che sostituiràquello attualmentevigente firmato nel1977". Il deputato del Pdeletto all'estero Gino

Bucchino ricorda che l'ac-cordo "porterà beneficialle imprese e ai cittadiniitaliani, anche in consider-azione del fatto che sonopiù di un milione le per-sone di origine italianaresidenti in Canada".Bucchino evidenzia che, insostanza, nel nuovo accor-do è stata chiarita la situ-azione fiscale dei contrat-tisti con doppia nazionalità

o cittadini dello Statoerogatore e residenti nel-l'altro Stato e ribadita inmaniera finalmente chiarala potestà impositivaesclusiva allo Stato cheeroga i compensi". Infine, per quanto riguar-da le pensioni, il nuovoaccordo stabilisce, persommi capi, che le pen-sioni private (come adesempio quelle dell'Inps)

sono di norma imponibilinello Stato di residenzadel beneficiario, mentreinvece le pensioni italianedegli ex dipendenti pub-blici residenti in Canadasono imponibili solo inItalia (come ad esempiole pensioni dell'Inpdap).Bucchino però rileva, conpreoccupazione, che "èprevista tuttavia, epurtroppo, la possibilità

che le pensioni dell'Inpssiano tassate - con unacomplessa modalità -oltre che dallo Stato diresidenza (il Canada)anche dallo Stato ital-iano". L'auspicio diBucchino è che "in unprossimo futuro, magaricon un semplice scambiodi note, possa essereeliminato il meccanismodella tassazione concor-rente che gli accordi con-tro le doppie imposizioni

dovrebbero appuntoabolire".

"Si trattapurtroppo di un ulteriore,carissimo contributopagato dai nostri soldatinella loro quotidiana lottacontro il terrorismo inter-nazionale.
