OTTAWA ? Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence?s romantic partner ? once in charge of the books at the troubled northern Ontario reserve ? has had his own money problems in the past.
Public records show Clayton Kennedy declared bankruptcy five years before he became the band?s money man. He declared debts of $24,380 and assets of $2,403 in his September 1996 bankruptcy filing.
Kennedy?s money problems come to light as Attawapiskat and Spence face questions over a scathing audit of the band?s books that found a missing paper trail for millions of dollars between 2005 and 2011.
Part of the period covered by the Deloitte audit overlaps with Kennedy?s second tenure as the band?s co-manager.
Between 2001 and 2004, Kennedy was the band?s director of finance, co-manager and band manager. He returned as the band?s co-manager and director of finance in July 2010 before leaving the job last summer.
Kennedy refused to speak about the bankruptcy when contacted by The Canadian Press.
?The matter you are referencing to is a personal matter unrelated to the leaked Deloitte audit report,? he said in an email.
?As such the Deloitte audit report has been responded to already. The issue I am dealing with is the health of Chief Spence and children. Please respect that.?
He did not respond to questions in a follow-up email or a call to his Ottawa hotel room, where he has been staying as Spence continues her protest, subsisting on fish broth and medicinal tea on an island in the Ottawa River.
An unidentified man who answered a call to Kennedy?s hotel room said he was not there.
A one-page summary available through the website of the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada provides no further details about the nature of Kennedy?s financial issues.
The bankruptcy office says Kennedy?s paper file was destroyed last October. The office keeps hard copies of bankruptcy records only for a limited time.
Kennedy defended the band?s accounting practices in an interview this week with the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network or APTN.
?If everyone is so concerned about the lack of documentation, then fine, come back, start contacting the suppliers, go through the banks, get into it in a little more detail because I don?t think you?ll find any misappropriation of funds,? he told the network.
Kennedy has an accounting background that stretches back 40 years.
He completed four of the five necessary levels of training to be a certified general accountant between 1973 and 1979, according to an affidavit he swore after Spence declared a state of emergency over a housing shortage in Attawapiskat.
Neither CGA Canada nor its provincial affiliates in Ontario and Manitoba ? professional bodies that grant the CGA designation ? could find any record of Kennedy taking courses to become a certified general accountant.
?As far as our records show, there is no record of this individual as a member, a member in good standing, a certified general accountant ? whichever you want to phrase it ? or as a student,? said Amy Mulhern, a spokesperson for the Ontario organization.
?Now, that could also be that records dating back 40 years are pretty hard to find, if they haven?t already been shredded or destroyed at this point.?
Kennedy did not respond to questions about his training.
Kennedy worked as an accountant in 1979, managing the George Jeffrey Children?s Centre in Thunder Bay, Ont., for about 15 years, his affidavit says.
The affidavit also says he holds a two-year certificate in health-care administration from Ottawa-based Certified Health Services Executives, which he says he completed around 1997.
He says he has worked for several other First Nations in finance, project management and administration since 2000.
Corporate documents show Kennedy incorporated a business called Moo Shum Enterprises in October 2003 ? roughly two years after he first started working in Attawapiskat.
In his affidavit, Kennedy said the company provides ?expertise and advice primarily in the areas of finance and management.?
The company?s office is listed as an address in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. A Google Street View image shows the property to be a white and beige, two-storey residential home on a modestly sized, treed lot. A property search shows a Eunice Kennedy sold the property in 2007. The new owner does not appear to have any connection to Clayton Kennedy.
Kennedy left Attawapiskat in 2004. In July 2009, the band was looking for a new co-manager. The job was advertised in newspapers in the Ontario communities of Thunder Bay, Sudbury and Timmins, according to a document on the band?s website.
The band says it received five applications. Kennedy?s company was shortlisted, but council ultimately gave the job to another big accounting firm, BDO Dunwoody. That deal lasted less than a year. Under a tight, Aboriginal Affairs-imposed deadline to find a new co-manager, the band council once again looked to Kennedy. He returned to work in Attawapiskat in July 2010.
The band issued a news release in late 2011 saying Spence was not in any of the meetings where council talked about bringing Kennedy back to Attawapiskat.
The contract between Kennedy?s company and the band shows he earned $850 a day. He told APTN that is well below the going rate.

That includes six recruits who are set to enroll early and begin classes Tuesday among the 23 total who are committed. The other 17 are set to sign national letter-of-intent on Feb. 6.
"I plan on being there in 72 hours and I'm sticking to that," said James Onwualu, a wide receiver recruit from St. Paul, Minn., and one of the six who gave up their senior spring semester of high school to start their ND careers early. "I'll be on campus and we'll see what happens."
But he and other recruits were calling Irish assistant coaches Wednesday night to get some kind of clarity for a development they never saw coming.
A source close to the Irish football program and one with the Eagles both confirmed to the South Bend Tribune what ESPN had first reported, that Kelly interviewed with the Eagles on Tuesday. Kelly was spotted in Nashville, Tenn., at the American Football Coaches Association's national convention Tuesday night, then left for a family vacation.
Calls to Kelly, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick and Kelly's agent, Trace Armstrong, went unreturned Wednesday night.
Per ESPN and citing league sources, there was mutual interest after Kelly's interview and that the two sides would revisit their conversations when Kelly returns from vacation this weekend. The Eagles fired head coach Andy Reid on Dec. 30 following 14 seasons with the organization.
The real question in all this: Is it real or is this Armstrong's way of driving up Kelly's price?
Kelly originally signed a five-year contract in December 2009 to coach the Irish, believed to pay him $2.5 million a year. On Jan. 10, 2012, the university announced it had exercised an option included in Kelly's contract to extend the contract for an additional two years.
An hour after the ESPN report surfaced, Kelly was the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter, roughly 48 hours after his top-ranked Irish fell, 42-14, to No. 2 Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game. ND finished fourth in the final AP poll, its best showing since 1993.
On Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Swarbrick told a group of reporters covering the national championship matchup, "I'm really confident that Brian has enjoyed his experience at Notre Dame, and when we're past (Monday) we'll sit down and talk about securing that future. We love having him and he loves being at Notre Dame."
Swarbrick, who meets with Kelly after every season, was asked specifically if an extension was in the works.
"Everything that goes into the program is on the table when we have those discussions."
Kelly, 28-11 in three years with ND, Sunday also addressed possible interest that seemed to be building from NFL teams.
"When I took the job at Notre Dame, I think I said it was a dream job," he said. "I think from my perspective I've got the best job in the country -- NFL, college, high school, whatever. I just look at the place that I'm at and thankful for the opportunity that I have."
Two of ND's top returning players, nose guard Lou Nix and offensive tackle Zack Martin, announced in December they were pushing away temptations to dive into the NFL Draft Pool with college eligibility still on the table and return to the team for 2013.
Running back Cierre Wood, who holds a fifth-year option, is undecided and has until Tuesday to declare for the draft.

All-mode base station radio and antenna for emergency communications?
If you could only have one all-mode base station radio for emergency communication use (assume a working generator or simple batteries for power), what would you choose? Portable use is not expected or required, although a good mobile rig should not neccessarily be disqualified, since an emergency situation can force mobile use.Just curious. I expect to see quite a variance but it would be interesting to see if a particular rig was more heavily favored. It would need to cover all bands, at least 160-2m, and all modes, but CW use is less important.
Second part of the question is what antenna(s) would you pair that rig with? If you choose more of a base station radio, also choose a more permanent antenna system and if mobile, more of a mobile system. A DX antenna configuration is not as important as NVIS and east-west coast operation.

For emergency communications, you don't need all mode or all band...you just need something that works. For Interior Alaska, 60 meters is wonderful....low enough that NVIS works at night and high enough that the absorption is low during the day.

"A word to the wise ain't necessary; it's the stupid ones who need the advice."
---Bill Cosby
I agree "all band" probably isn't a real requirement for emergency communications.I'd want a separate HF rig and a separate VHF rig that covered at least 2m FM (for "local" work), and I'd want to be able to listen to and use both at the same time, which is something that cannot be done with most transceivers.
I'd also want something very, very reliable and easy to operate, since after the Big One makes the roof fall on my head, I may not be thinking so clearly but still want to communicate. I'd also want something that can be powered by 12Vdc, and preferably even by 10.5 - 11.0Vdc, as batteries drain and maybe can't be recharged.
For home, I'd want a variety of antennas in case some fail, or in case propagation favors differing radiation angles at different times of day (which normally happens, anyway).
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.-- George Bernard Shaw
The bigger challenges for a home station for emergencies is securing adequate emergency power and ensuring that your antennas are still functional.For HF operation, transcontinental operation is probably not needed, though there is a new Transcon Net operating on digital modes on 20 meters in the daytime. Gearing up for NVIS operation will probably be most useful. That means 160-80 - 60 and 40 meters.
I'd start with an indoor antenna - in the attic - where it is not subject to ice and wind. Then add an outdoor horizontal antenna. Surprisingly, the T2FD design from B+W has worked well for me, and will work on the NVIS bands. It's not the world's greatest antenna, but it doesn't need to be either. There are other companies out there selling T2FD's that I haven't tried. If you are on the right band at the right time, you can lay down a LOUD signal in a radius of 300 miles using NVIS and low power - 10 watts or less.
Indeed, 10 watts might be an important number. Consider The new Ten Tec Argonaut VI. You can buy a 100 watt amp for it. But it will be easier to keep the 10 watter on the air with batter power than a 100 watt rig. The Elecraft KX3 should be a nice option, too.
The 'default' all band radios are the IC-7000, IC-706, and FT-857/897. The 897 with batteries would be another good option if you have a means to recharge it. 20 watts might be better than 10. Study the choices and look at receive power drain - that will determine how long you can listen without recharging batteries. If you can find one - the IC-703 would be another good choice.
If you have unlimited funds, the IC-9100 is the answer.

Any of the-commercial rigs that have 160-2m are fine. Really. Buy what strikes your fancy.For HF antenna a 160m dipole fed with ladder line and a hefty outboard antenna tuner is simplest and most flexible.
Your choice on 6m and 2m antennas.
Are you planning a career of disaster preparation, or do you expect to ever step back, smell the solder fumes and enjoy ham life?

I'd just use what I have right here in the shack - FT-950 for whatever band I hear folks on, with
a general coverage receiver to hear Radio Havana for the absolute honest accurate and up to date
information about what happened <grin>, 2m and 70cm for local repeater simple, and the most
important, local broadcast band on the 950 for local news.Dave

Look into the FT-857D. You can work 70 cm, 2 m, 6 m through 160 m. You can work with 5 watts to conserve power or crank it up to call for help. As with most modern tranceivers you can work CW, AM, FM, SSB with it. The FT-857D is designed so that it can be used as a mobile unit, as well as, a base unit. It's small, light-weight and has a detachable faceplate (if you care to separate it). It has pretty low current draw when monitoring. But unlike it's little brother the 817, you can crank up the power when it's needed.Regarding, antenna's a simple dual band slim jim is great for UHF, VHF (build one or just buy one for about $25.00). Simple dipoles for the others bands or use something easy like an end-fed and a tuner. I have a 40/80 m NVIS system sitting in the garage that can be setup in the back yard in about 10 minutes, if needed. I hope I never have a true need for it.
