A story in photos from the Sister Kennedy Seniors Fair
And then there was lunch! Thick soft sandwiches, chicken
noodle soup, fruit and dessert were served by volunteers:
Donna Law, Donna McKelvie, Cindy Noble, Judy Witherspoon , Eloise Camirand, and Mildred Bedard. Here, trays
and trays of fruit are served up by Ethel Lowey, Jean Camirand and Diane Martin, while Gerald Martin was doing
dishes duty.
Rainy River Country's own - Jessie Bodnarchuk and Jean
Burnst from River Road. "Of course we drove in this morning, said Jean. "We left at 7:30 and got here almost in time;
construction, you know," added Jessie. These two women
live in their own homes out of town, battling skunks, bears
and other wildlife, always ready for adventures.
Rita Woodland on her favourite: "Edwin! He was really
good! And, I golfed with him, after work, in the dark, and
we couldn't find our balls. Seriously, when I needed medications he would always say that I could phone him anytime,
day or night and he would get me the meds I needed. He is
great." Rita was in the Manitoba Hall of Fame twice for
playing baseball and is still active, especially playing golf.
Dorothy and Bill Sylvester were relaxing after lunch. "My
picture? Ha, no one will know me without my glasses," said
Clark Kent.
Sandy Stalker and George
Walsh. Sandy came to hear
about Wills and Trusts, but
was really interested in the
presentation by Edwin
Bruyere on medications.
June Caul, a volunteer,
town councillor, retired
teacher and much much
more to this community, was
MC for the Fair. Everything
went really smoothly, as you
would expect from June.
During a beverage break, booths were set up in the pool
room. Service Canada has programs dealing with finances,
OAS and CPP, Immigration issues, Safety and Fraud protection and more.
Adelia Guba. Everybody knows Adelia. She is a very active
volunteer for the Legion and other community activities. She
said she was surprised that medicine should not be kept in
the kitchen or bathroom, but in a safe place that no one
would know. She really enjoyed Edwin's presentation.
Molly Crozier and Cliff Noble. " I came to see what they
were going to say. It was all very good. Now I can pass along
the information to the others in Emo who couldn't attend. I
really liked the Directory." Molly is a mover and shaker for
the Emo Seniors active living programs. You can also find
her at all the dances. She was most interested in the Northwestern Health Unit presentation.
June Caul, handing out the door prizes, asked Ken Noble
whether he wanted to play with cards or play with the devil
[check out the bags]. Guess which one Ken immediately
took.
Dolly Lemieux, Doreen Fryer and Denyse Decaire, finishing
lunch, were reminiscing when I asked what they were most
interested in. "The Wills!," they all said. "And the medications. I didn't realize that so thorough a consultation was
possible with the pharmacist," added Dolly.
Margaret Lambert and her daughter Irene Laing were reflecting on the day. "I just hope that everyone enjoyed this,
and received the information they wanted. Next time we are
planning a trade show, including agencies and retailers that
deal with seniors," said Irene.
Victoria Wishart: "This was
so informative! The complications with medications really made me think,
especially about drugs that
thin the blood. I always ask
my pharmacist questions."
"Oh Yeah, that's more like
it. Now it all goes together,"
Ken Noble said as he took
out the glasses to go with his
winning bottle. "Now I need
someone to drink this with...
I'll wait for my wife!"
"This is the directory!" said
Shirley Nault. "This is
Irene's baby. She did it all. It
is invaluable. Those who
were unable to attend can
stop in for a copy." This Directory lists 61 services
available locally with a description of each. The only
thing you will not find in it,
is Irene's name.
Edwin Bruyere, Pharmacist: "When taking medications for
conditions, there is an elegant relationship going on within
us. It can be beneficial or it can be a catastrophe. .. Medical
safety is so much more than side effects and where to store
the pill... Keep the relationship going with your pharmacist.
Expect a lot from us." You could hear a pin drop while he
was speaking.
Tricia Wilson, who spoke
about Senior depression during nap time [right after
lunch] wisely got the audience to answer questions,
and we were really good at
it. The final question was:
"So, after this presentation
we now know all we need to
know about depression, true
or false? "NO!" we answered, scoring perfectly.
Sheila McMillan, secretary
of the Stratton Senior's, was
really impressed with the Directory. " I hope to share it
with the people in Stratton.
It is invaluable!"

Letter to the editor
Dear Editor:
“We have no intention of
bringing back a gun registry.”
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair
made that unequivocal statement this past July. Yet my
Conservative opponent continues to spread misinformation
about the NDP position on this
issue.
Let me repeat, the NDP will
not bring back a gun registry.
Period.
With that said, I’d like to
leave the past and focus on the
future. A future of hope and
optimism with affordable
quality childcare, with new job
opportunities for our youth
and a better retirement for seniors, a future with the doctors,
nurses and other healthcare
professionals we need in the
North.
We have a lot to look forward to with a federal government led by Tom Mulcair.

The Zone 72 meeting has
come and gone. I want to acknowledge our Colour Party
and our members that attended. Also thanks to Debbie
and Marlene for serving lunch.
It is a good time to listen to the
accomplishments and problems of our member Legions.
We are basically all the samefighting declining memberships and revenues and
increasing costs.
More from Sister Kennedy Seniors Fair
Speaking of memberships
the new cards are in and now
is the time to renew.
This week we will be spending our time preparing for the
Walleye Tournament. We will
have a Colour Party at the Parade and a Steak Fry at the tent
on Saturday..hope to see you
there.

Clare Brunetta, Lawyer, spoke about Wills, Estate Planning
and Power of Attorneys. "Word wills carefully with respect
to beneficiaries... Lawyer prepared [wills and power of attorneys] proves capacity." Just to be clear, by capacity he
doesn't mean how big your head is. It is shocking how many
people are suffering from dementia now. This is so important.

Shirley Nault and Irene Laing holding the Directory. "I
can't say enough about the volunteers," said Irene, "they did
a beautiful job. And we were sold out! 139 people registered.
We set up for 130 and there were few seats left." Shirley volunteers doing newsletters etc. The Fair was mostly the responsibility of Irene. She won't tell you that though.

Krista Anderson spoke on Nutrition for Seniors. Yes folks,
meat is no longer supposed to be the main focus of the meal,
and beans really are a meat substitute. And, if you still want
to eat the WHOLE cinnamon bun without sharing, get up

High School student Eye exams for schoolcelebrates Special
age children should
Olympics Victories
be mandatory
ing. He practices once a week
with adults mostly much older
than him. Jason's mother,
Toots, has decided to become
more involved with the tournament and hopes to get
younger kids involved as well.
"We're going to try to get
younger kids interested. We're
going to offer more sports, but
we need the people in order to
decide on which sports we can
do." Toots went to Thunder
Bay last weekend to become
certified to coach for special
olympics teams. She, along
with Jody Bonner-Vickers and
Gabby Hanzuik are planning
to work together with athletes
in the area to create as many
opportunities for them as possible. Basketball is a sport of
interest, if there are enough
committed people to create a
team. Athletes need only be 8
years and older with an intellectual disability to compete in
the Special Olympics. "There's
a need for coaches because
one person just can't do it all,
and I love it," says Toots.
Up until this year, Toots
couldn't find much information about how to become involved in the Special
Olympics. "I've been looking
for it for a few years, but I
couldn't get any information
about it." After reading an article in the paper about it, she
put the process into motion.
As for the student initiated
celebration for her son? She
was thrilled of course. "It was
awesome! It was so sweet of
them. They played trumpets
for his entrance. Michelle
Mosbeck brought in pizza and
he wore his ribbons. He was so
proud."
Congratulations to Jason for
all of his hard work and good
luck to him in the future!

One in every six Canadian
children may have a vision
problem that makes it difficult
for them to learn and read, according to the Canadian Association
of
Optometrists
(CAO). For this reason, the
CAO strongly recommends a
comprehensive eye examination for every child before entering school.
The medical journal The
Lancet concurs. It recently
published a paper on whole
population vision screening in
which the authors recommend
that there should be screening
of all children age four to five
years at school entry since this
"confers most benefit and addresses inequity in access to
timely treatment."
So if professionals are so
clear on the need, why aren't
kids getting eye exams in
Canada?
The CAO believes the costs
associated with eyeglasses can
be a barrier for many families
- and many parents are simply
unaware that eye examination
for children is both recommended and free in most
provinces (covered by the publicly-funded health system).
Some steps are underway to
improve the situation. For example, Ontario has recently
joined six other provinces in
offering a program that is financed by both public and private purses. The Eye See . . .
Eye Learn program provides
no cost, comprehensive eye
exams for kindergarten students, and importantly, offers
a free pair of eye glasses if the
child requires them - something that would normally cost
parents around $250.
Initiatives like the Eye See .
. . Eye Learn program are a
great step in the right direction, but are only a half measure. Why not take it a step
further and put in place a comprehensive eye health system
so that children of all ages are
systematically benefiting from
vision care?
We need health ministries to
make sure that children who
need glasses get them, and
have access to professional
eye care throughout their education path. It may also be
time to consider requiring that
documentation of a free eye
exam has taken place before
school entry.
Vision problems have serious consequences for a child's
development; reading, writing,
motor skills and behaviour can
all be affected. Bottom line:
early detection and timely
treatment of eye conditions are
effective and cost effective.
Many parents and teachers
have mistaken vision problems for behavioural issues or
learning disabilities. But a
child will not tell a parent if
they cannot see properly (if
they don't know themselves).
Systematically detecting vision issues in children will not
only help them avoid unnecessary academic struggles, but it
will also reduce the burden on
schools, which must spend
huge resources to help students who are falling behind.
The Quebec Order of Optometrists says that 61 per cent
of Canadian parents are wrong
when they believe they can detect their child's visual problems without a professional. It
may be highly instructive to
know that high-IQ society
Mensa's youngest U.S. member is a two year old girl who
was originally misdiagnosed
with "unspecified learning delays." All she needed were
glasses to correct her far-sightedness and amblyopia.
Learning that your child
needs glasses can be challenging for a parent with low-income.
Philanthropic initiatives exist
across the country to pay for
the exorbitant cost of glasses;
the Bonhomme à lunettes in
Quebec, the Toronto Foundation for Student Success, the
Vision Institute of Canada, for

It's the first year of high
school for Jason Rempel, but
he's already off to a great
start. His classmates at Sturgeon Creek Alternative Program threw him a pizza party
in celebration of his summer
achievements. They presented
him with a certificate of accomplishment, a handmade
Olympic crown and plenty of
congratulations and cheer.
Earlier, Jason had the opportunity to participate for the

example, all provide a helping
hand for vision care. But their
capacity is often limited and
families should not have to
rely solely on the good will of
such organizations in order to
see.
In the coming months, the
CAO will meet with Members
of Parliament and Senators in
Ottawa in the hopes that early
detection and treatment of eye
and vision problems will become a public health priority.
If Canada is serious about education - and serious about the
health of Canadian children -it should move to make complete eye care part of the
healthcare system.

This great weather sure
hasn’t stopped the grass from
growing! Last week I was
thinking I had cut my lawn for
the last time but it is not looking like that. The flowers are
still looking very beautiful and
I keep hauling water to them.
It is so enjoyable to be out in
the yard when the bugs are not
carrying you away. The only
problem is – it gets dark so
early! I was trying to water
my flowers with a flashlight
but remembered I have one of
those headlamps – this way
you still have both your hands.
It looks like we should be
moving into soybean harvest
this week. We still have a few
later varieties that might not be
ready but the majority are. I
am still not predicting high
yields since there aren’t many
seeds in each pod. I hope they
prove me wrong but….
We have some great looking
third cut forage stands but I
haven’t decided if we should
harvest yet or not. We have
had some light frosts but nothing too severe. If the tile company moved in – that would
end our field work for a period
of time anyway. We have all
kinds of seed to clean and collect data on – but it is hard to
be inside measuring seed
when the sun is inviting you
outside.
Maddie and Marlee are now
interested in riding the horse
every chance they get so I
made them a deal that we had
to do some work first and then
the fun later. They were busy
picking up pieces of wood that
were left around from the new
bull / horse / calf shelter they
are building for me and then
we got the horse out. Maddie
understands the importance of
grooming your horse carefully
before you saddle him up but
Marlee she is just interested in
the riding part . Maddie carefully brushes and inspects
every spot on him. They decided that they were ready for
trotting this weekend. They
loved the bumpy ride. I noticed that it ended up that
Maddie did most of the running beside the horse while
Marlee bounced along and
kept convincing her – “just
one or two more times!” We
thought we would all venture

for a longer walk this weekend
with “Alex” over to “Auntie
Carol’s” – but because the sun
was shining so brightly –
many snakes were soaking up
the sun on the road and that
ended our enjoyable Sunday
Stroll.
I hosted another party over
the weekend that again was
supposed to be a surprise but
don’t think it was! My best
friend Jason turned 40 – so we
had a little gathering for him!
The parties just aren’t like they
use to be – we use to stay up
all night and still be able to
work all day – but it’s Monday
and I am still tired and we didn’t even stay up all night!
Wishing Jason a great 40th
year anyway….
James Gibson will be travelling around when he has a bit
of spare time drumming up
cattle for our next sale which
is October 3rd – at the Stratton
Sales Barn. If you have any
questions get in touch with
James – the date is coming up
quickly. With the case of Blue
Tongue that has been found in
Southern Ontario someone
was running around predicting
prices were going to slide
downwards – it is not looking
like that – but that Blue
Tongue Free Status will be removed from all Canadian Cattle. Blue Tongue causes no
human health scare so the experts are saying we won’t see
any market changes.

A tale of two wildly different Remember the Women’s
election campaigns
Institutes
By Gavin MacFadyen
Freelance writer
Last week, I registered to
vote for the first time in a U.S.
election. As a Canadian with
dual citizenship living in the
United States, and an inveterate political junkie, this summer and fall gives me the gift
of a double feature - two campaigns happening simultaneously in each of the countries
I consider home.
But that statement needs a
qualification. In the U.S., a
vote for president is still more
than 14 months away - or,
roughly the gestation period of
a walrus. At least Canada has
the contenders in place. In the
U.S., we don't even yet know
who will ultimately be running
against whom.
The stump speeches are just
the pageant preliminaries before the showdown of the
swimsuit competition to come
in 2016. This makes me react
with amusement when I hear
commentators north of the
border refer to the 77-day
Canadian campaign set to culminate on Oct. 19 as a
'marathon.'
At the launch of the campaign, national affairs writer
Tim Harper of the Toronto Star
illustrated the magnitude of
this attention-grabbing, soulsucking demand on the innocent Canuck when he outlined
the true magnitude of 77 days
as a period of time ". . . that
will traverse three holiday
weekends, almost three calendar months and two seasons."
THREE holiday weekends?
Oh, the inhumanity!
In many ways, the two approaches to electing leaders is
a reversal in perceived national character: a short campaign seems brash and bold as swift and soaring as an
eagle in flight. It is the 'shockand-awe' method of choosing
leaders.
In contrast, a campaign extended well beyond a year before the eventual vote seems
somewhat plodding and methodical. It seems consistent
with 'peace, order and good
government' and the Canadian
penchant for parliamentary
commissions that are almost
and all of us on the outside
would be able to say "ahhhhhh."
In Canada, even with the
added opportunity of making
flubs in two official languages,
we are rarely treated to a candidate spouting anything so
ridiculous that it becomes sublime. The only possible exception is Prime Minister John
Turner throwing up his hands
during a debate in 1984 and
saying "I had no option," in response to attacks from Brian
Mulroney about patronage appointments in the waning days
of Pierre Trudeau's time in office.
But the most significant
Canadian advantage I see is
that all the players are known.
Absent of divine intervention,
voters know what their
choices will be on Oct. 19.
This is far from the case in the
U.S., where the eventual winner and next president could
be someone not even running
now.
For pure entertainment
value, Joe Biden would be
more than we could hope for.
What's also a bit macabre is
that between now and the national party conventions next
summer, failed candidates will
fall by the wayside like so
many castaways on Survivor
whose torches are snuffed.
But back to my U.S. voter
registration. Having been a
poll worker in past Canadian
elections, I was disconcerted
to discover that here I was expected to identify my party affiliation on the official form.
This seemed vaguely Soviet to
me for the land of the free.
As there was no box to check
that said 'ex-pat Canadian' or
'Habs fan' I chose 'Other.' It
seemed the safest, most neutral, least dogmatic and least
attention-getting choice of all.
And what could be more
Canadian than that?

duty-bound not to report their
findings until the issue they
are contemplating has become
safely moot. It is more tortoise
than hare, and all beaver.
Don't get me wrong, I prefer
our Canadian expediency to
the obsessive odyssey that is
American politics. Far better
that we save protracted competition lasting months on end
for the truly critical things like determining a Stanley
Cup winner.
The advantages of a short
campaign are clear: It allows
voters to bring a laser-like
focus to issues that are not
likely to change by election
day - things like Mike Duffy's
expenses or Justin Trudeau's
hair. But the biggest disadvantage to entertainment value I
see is that the 77-day sprint
(yes, that's what it really is)
does not allow nearly enough
time for politicians to truly go
off the rails with foot-inmouth disease born of fatigue.
That is where U.S. politics
shines. Because of the length
of what is an actual marathon,
all candidates have an equal
opportunity to say things at
any given time that are loopy
enough to brush up against lunacy. Think of Chris Christie's
suggestion that visitors to the
U.S. be tracked like FedEx
packages, and Scott Walker's
musing that a border wall between Canada and the United
States might not be such a bad
idea.
As an aside, I am not sure
how this wall-frenzy was born
and took root in Republican
hearts and minds. After all, it
was the Republican Supreme
Being - Ronald Reagan - who
gave the end of the Cold War
its most iconic command: "Mr.
Gorbachev, tear down this
wall!"
I think walls are just so old
school. Why not a dome like
in the Simpson's movie, or
Stephen King's imagination?
This would protect the U.S.
from land, sea, or air. Encasing
the country like a pastry on a
diner counter is not just inherently more secure; it is aesthetically more pleasing. Future
earthquakes might cause a
beautiful snow globe effect,

and international organization
that promotes women, families and communities. Our
goal is to empower women to
make a difference.”
They set up “Well Baby”
programs, financed hot meal
and milk programs in rural
schools, acquired books for
bookmobiles, assisted in mobile clinics, raised funds to
help the needy, encouraged
changes to farm ownership
and succession and estate
planning. One thing that surprised me was their support for
Emily Murphy during the
“Persons Case”; the one where
women were asking to be considered persons so they could
serve in the Senate.
They also lobbied for reflectors on boxcars.
They also had fun. I think
they should seriously resurrect
the Comic Hats Competitions.
The time has come.
In fact, perhaps it is time to
resurrect many of those
courses, crafts and informational seminars. Perhaps our
young people deserve a
chance to try out home crafts
such as sewing, and decide for
themselves how those skills
can be of benefit to them
today.

At one time not long ago
every rural municipality had
one. One hundred years ago
Women’s Institutes were active in many areas of the country. For over 100 years this
organization was vital to the
health and well-being of rural
families.
It all started when Adelaide
Hoodless suffered the death of
her fourth son from “summer
milk fever” in 1888.
She was determined that
rural women should have the
expertise and knowledge necessary to run a household with
the same scientific advancements and information available to farmers growing crops.
She started speaking at
farmer’s events. She wanted
more that recipes and home
decorating advice.
She wanted an organization

“to improve women’s skills in
the art of homemaking and
childcare”.
The local groups united as
the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada in 1919. Associated with the Department of
Agriculture and Agriculture
Colleges, local groups multiplied. In our area every municipality benefitted.
When Fran Anderson and
Julie Smits were active it
worked like this: about 4 times
a year the Department of Agriculture sent up a representative
from Guelph University to
teach a skill to a small group
of women. After the course,
these women were expected to
teach what they had learned to
other women. The courses included embroidery, dressmaking, crewel, crocheting, and
knitting, crafts to augment
farm income. But most emphasis was placed on safe
homemaking skills such as
safe handling of milk, TB prevention, safe canning methods, the nutritional value of
foods, and in later years safe
microwave cooking.
Besides educating homemakers, the groups were also
politically active. As explained
by FWIC: “Women’s Institute

There's a place for teenagers
to get their creative synapses
shooting off like laser beams.
Whether it's after football practice or before their favourite
television show, the Fort
Frances Public Library is offering up a workshop that might
be of interest! Being a teenager
is hard (duh), and even more
difficult when one feels like he
or she doesn't know how to express all the commotion happening in their brain. Imagine
ideas rolling in like a freight
train at a popular stop in your
brain, with nowhere to go. The
tracks just stop; it's the end of
the line. But the trains just keep
chugging along, impervious to
the fact that the ones ahead
aren't moving. It's the traffic
jam of the mind. All ideas and
no place to go.
Joelle Barron would like, in
that particular analogy, to help
teenagers construct the tracks
to take their ideas far and wide.
In her free workshop starting
this week, she aims to give
teens a place to share their writing and ideas and the confidence to forge new paths,
something she continues to do
herself.
After graduating high school
in 2008, Joelle got her Bachelors Degree, followed by a
Masters Degree in Creative
Writing at UBC. She mostly
writes poetry but has tried her
hand at nearly everything. After
being published in several
magazines, she's hoping to do
freelance work for Bustle Magazine this year. Joelle's "Dawson City, YT" made CBC's
Canada Writes longlist this
year.
Branch supported 6 children in
participating in the Legion
Sports Camps in Peace Gardens this past summer.
Donations were presented to
the Fort Frances 908 Rainy
Lake Air Cadets and the
Alzheimer’s Society.
The flowers in front of the
Legion looked awesome this
summer thanks to Josie Miller
and Rondi Roth.
Our members will be again

Something new is happening
in the month of October. The
Legion will be having twice

be Sunday Oct. 4th with the
second one Sunday Oct. 18th
from 10am-1pm. the cost will

and under $3.00. So mark
these dates on your calendar.
Everyone is welcome!
The monthly supper is Fri.

Want input into Rainy Lake control?
In preparing to conduct its review of the 2000 rule curves for
Rainy and Namakan Lakes, the
Study Board has invited local
organizations and officials,
along with First Nations, Métis
and Tribes to discuss its terms
of reference and provide local
input on the evaluation methodology provided by the International Joint Commission during
its meetings in International
Falls, MN on September 29 and
in Fort Francis, Ontario on September 30, 2015. It will also
host a webinar on September 25
for those unable to attend the
meetings.
This is the first of several outreach activities the Study Board
will be hosting as it makes scientifically-supported recommendations to the IJC for
modifying or retaining the 2000
Rainy and Namakan Lakes rule
curves.
The Rainy and Namakan
Lakes rule curves provide upper
and lower target elevations for
those lakes, and are used in
managing water levels and
flows.
The rule curves will be evaluated using socio-economic performance indicators, such as
emergency high and low water
levels, flooding damage to
structures and cultural resources, hydropower production and tourism, as well as
environmental indicators, such
as wetland health (cattails, wild
rice and submerged plants),
loon nesting, and fish spawning.
The IJC has directed the
Board to engage with the public
throughout the duration of the
evaluation.
In addition, the IJC will establish a Rule Curve Public Advisory Group, (RCPAG) to
include representation from:

Use Hydro One
sale cash to pay
down debt
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on the
Wynne government to use all
of the Hydro One sale cash to
pay down debt.
The preliminary prospectus
for the sale, filed with the Ontario Securities Commission
late Thursday evening, confirms the government hopes to
raise $9 billion from a sale of
60 per cent of the company.
The Wynne government has already committed to using $4
billion of that revenue on new
spending.
“This is akin to selling your
car to buy concert tickets,” said
CTF Ontario Director, Christine Van Geyn. “It’s foolish to
sell a revenue generating asset
and blow it on one-time spending.”
The use of proceeds for new
For all the auto and truck parts

spending is despite provisions
in the Electricity Act which
previously required all proceeds be applied to paying
down the debt of the company
held by the Ontario Electricity
Financial Corporation. This
legislation was amended in the
2015 budget in order to make
the sale of Hydro One possible.
“Ontario should be getting
top dollar for an asset like
Hydro One,” continued Van
Geyn. “If all proceeds are not
being used to pay down hydro
debt, they should at least be
used to deal with the province’s
$8.5 billion deficit. But instead,
Kathleen Wynne is spending
this money before it’s even in
her hands.”
The preliminary prospectus
also outlines millions that will
be paid in compensation to the
current executive of Hydro
One. Mayo Schmidt, who only
just took over as President and
CEO of Hydro One on September 3rd, could receive up to $4
million in target total direct
compensation for 2016. Mr.
Schmidt is also entitled to
$3.23 million in severance if he
is terminated. The previous
CEO of Hydro One, Carmine
Marcello, had a total compensation package of $1.26 million.
“The province intends to retain 40 per cent ownership of
this company, which means
taxpayers are on the hook for
the sky-high compensation
packages for the new Hydro
One executive,” concluded Van
Geyn.
Joelle admits that writing
"kind of fell in my lap." Before
being accepted to the Creative
Writing Program in 3rd year
university, Joelle was strictly
writing in her journal. Joelle
applied on a whim. "It was
some form of intuition,
maybe." That's when her university experience took a turn:
she found her niche.
"As a creative outlet I find it
really satisfying." Although
writing might not be for everyone, it's probably something
that most people, most teens
could find very rewarding.
Joelle writes naturally about
personal, vulnerable topics in a
way that reads like our own private thoughts. It's from this
depth of craft that she draws
her teaching experience, caring
about art and student equally.
"I have taught many, many,
workshops." It's something she
gushes about when she talks.
One of her previous workshops
includes one she taught at the
library 2 summers ago. Her vision for this one is to create a
safe space for writers to share
their work and ideas. "Usually
people start off in it shy or not
necessarily super confident
about what they've written. The
goal is that hopefully by the
end they're feeling more confident and open to sharing it.
That's what the focus of it is
going to be - having the confidence to share what you've
written."
The structure of it is less like
a curriculum and more like a
chance to explore. There will
be tons of fun writing prompts
to get the creative muscles
warmed up. "I try to keep it laid
back, because I know they're in
school as well. I want to get
them thinking about writing in
a new way because there's not
a huge creative component to
writing in high school."
So whether your teenager is
writing and performing slam
poetry in front of their bedroom
mirror, or holed up creating a
fantasyland in their new science fiction novel, or developing a screenplay about zombies
with feelings, or writing debates for their own political
campaign, there's a place for
them to share.
Even if there's someone who
just really enjoys writing in
their journal, but wants to think
about new ways of writing,
that's perhaps the best way to
start. There is no experience
needed, and no one too qualified to come.
The 4 week workshop begins
Thursday, September 24th at 6
pm at the Fort Frances public
library. Writers should bring
their own writing materials.

10 Questions with Ian McKay
This is a follow up to a story we printed six months ago about one person’s struggle with depression
by Melissa Friesen
It's safe to say that Ian
McKay started a conversation
when he opened up about
struggling with depression.
Now, half a year later, people
were still asking about him,
how he was doing, and wondering if the article pressured
him to feel like he wasn't allowed to have a bad day.
When I told him people
wanted an update, he was both
humbled and willing. So we
sat in almost the same exact
space as we had months ago,
and unbeknownst to me, just
days after World Suicide Prevention Day.
Here are 10 questions with
Ian McKay.
1. Probably the first thing I
want to ask is what was your
reaction to the article coming
out?
IAN: Okay-well originally it
was overwhelming because it
was very quick since I had felt
better and then we threw it in
the paper and it felt like a shot
to the stars. I thought, 'Oh no,
I'm going to fall short.' But the
response was amazing, actually. I had a lot of emails, a lot
of calls, people asking questions about what they can do to
better themselves. Of course
the answer still is, 'Go and see
your doctor' but you know it
really hit home for a lot of people; even my family didn't
know how far it had gone. I
screwed up a lot of things with
people, not that it was an excuse, but now people could understand what had been
happening. It was a relief, but
at the same time terrifying for
everyone in town to know exactly what I was going through
and what I planned to do and
what I had tried to do.
2. Did you see people in
public and feel terrified at the
realization that they now
knew some very personal
things about you?
IAN: A little bit. I was actually stopped a lot. People
would tell that they read the article and say, 'That was awesome that you did that.' I found
a lot of people that are struggling in the same ways, or parents who were comforted to
know that their own child
could make it through. You
know, you always hear the
worst of the stories - about a
child committing suicide - so I
think mine was comforting to
them. And it was shared on
Facebook more than 50 times
and that reaches beyond the
district. I saw some guy from
Taiwan shared it. [He laughs.]
I don't know why. But it was
really cool to see, but also
nerve-wracking.
3. Did you feel pressure to be
some kind of guru now?
IAN: No, I think I tried to explain that as good as I feel, I
always want to keep seeking
more and finding new ways to
feel better. Everything in my
life changed. Everything in my
life was doom. If I could have
no longer existed, that would
have been great. Now I want
to understand all existence! I
want to live through all of it
and understand as much as I
can about life. So no, I don't
feel pressure. Everyone is different. You can't lump everything into depression or
everything in to Celiac disease. It's not about what I did
it's about what people should
continue to try to do for themselves. It's about 'Hey, I was
here. You might be here as
well. I'm out of it and I want
you to join me on this side of
it.' However you do that is
going to be the work you put
in, the family you hold, but
more importantly the trust in
the fact that there's a million
things you can do and just because six didn't work, still
gives you a lot more to choose
from. But you have to look for
them. Google doesn't necessarily know what you need.
You might need to sit with
yourself to figure it out.
4. So, have you had some
bad days?
IAN: Oh absolutely! It's not
as simple as not eating gluten,
and not only that, it's like, you
know, I miss my grandpa.
People get sad and we need to
understand the difference
being sad and being a self-perpetuating negative person and
being depressed. When you're
depressed, the hardest thing
you did was wake up. If you're
a negative person, you have to
change your way of thinking.
If you genuinely feel depressed, seek a doctor, seek
medication, seek counselling
and then potentially you have
to change that cognitive behaviour as well. It's hard because you have to call yourself
out on some stuff when the last
thing you want to do is be
alive, let alone understand
who you are.
Eliminate High Heating Bills!
Don’t wait any longer! Start
saving money on your heating
bill when you heat your entire
home, water and more with the
safe, comfortable heat of a
Central Boiler outdoor furnace.
5. Is cognitive behaviour
therapy something you're still
involved in?
IAN: Just on my own. At the
initial moment of impact, I
have to decide, 'Am I going to
be reactive or am I going to
take action?' So there's the 5
minute rule or the 5 second
rule depending on the severity.
If something bad happens, I
have 5 seconds to be mad, sad,
angry, volatile, whatever it is,
and then it's done because my
time has better value than
emotionally investing in one
moment. Shane Beckett told
me if I had a dollar a day [to
spend emotionally] I had to
decide where I was going to
spend it and where I was going
to save it. That stuck with me.
If I stub my toe and I choose
to spend my dollar, the rest of
the day I'm going to mope
around because I have a sore
toe?! That doesn't make sense.
It's not worth ruining my day.
6. What are some other
things you've been learning
about since we last talked?
IAN: Perspective. 'If there's
no enemy within, there can be
no enemy outside.' [African
proverb] If someone puts you
down, you have gone down on
your own will. You feel less
than them. That's a choice. I
don't want to be pushed
around anymore - I don't want
to let myself push me around
anymore. It's about the idea of
what you want versus what
you're afraid of. You know, I
want to own a gym one day.
But what am I afraid of? I'm
afraid I won't have the financial backing to make it possible. But that's not important
right now. What's important is
that I have an idea of what's
going to make me happy, and
how I get there is not as important as trying to get there.
If you want to have happiness,
you have to be happy. You will
become who you are.
7. So you're saying the onus
is on the individual to make a
choice in the direction they
want?
IAN: Yeah, exactly. Choice
is a risky idea. Most people
don't make a choice because
there are so many options.
There's this idea that you
might make the wrong choice,
but the worst choice is not
making one at all. Nothing can
happen if you don't seek an
outcome. You can stand in
Subway for 5 days making a
choice, you've gotta just do it.
But we think that's difficult, let
alone finding out what we
want to be when we grow up,
wondering where we're going
to go. But maybe that's not as
important as stepping forward:
forward, forward, forward. I
had a chemical imbalance that
caused me to be depressed, but
I was also afraid of finding alternative ways of dealing with
that. I put the onus on my doctor. No, my doctor sees me for
maybe 15 minutes every 3
weeks if I'm lucky. And you
think the rest of those 24 hours
my doctor is going to be looking out for me? No, it would be
the same thing with clients who
come to me for personal training. I'll work out with you for
an hour and give you your meal
plan. But I'm just here to point
you in the right direction,
you've got to walk it out, right?
That's all encompassing of life.
This is yours. I was ready to
take the risk of killing myself
but not the responsibility for really living. How many days are
you willing to feel less than
you possibly could?
8. Are there are lot of things
you're wrestling with between
your wants and your fears?
IAN: Yeah, I think you have
to. Fear is a tool when it's in the
right hands. Fear could be a
fuel. It's an instinctive form of
survival. Use the things that are
disabling you to step on and get
new perspective. If I have a
negative day, I'm gaining perspective for my next positive
day. If I have a positive day, it'll
uplift me on my negative days.
You have to be ever-expanding.
Fear is excitement hidden
under your own illusions. [We

Everyone has the same fear. We

on a Central Boiler
Outdoor Wood Furnace*
by Charleen Gustafson
Ahhh, the soft sands of Sable
Islands in September are perfect for walking. They are fine,
clean and cool. The water is
crystal clear but warm enough
for wading. Animal tracks are
numerous and varied. The
shore birds are still here.

have to be suicidal to have
those kinds of thoughts. I worry
about money and where my income is going to come from.
Then I think about the consequences. You should definitely
make payments, but if you really can't you have to remember that this will not be your
last stand against something. It
will not take your life away.
Will it suck? Absolutely, but
you rise above that and prepare
better for your next struggle.
10. You said your relationships have never been better.
Talk about the importance of
transparency.
IAN: It's really hard to be
transparent because you think
other people won't understand,
and they won't because we'll
never understand each person's
perspective. But I think we all
know what it's like to feel pain
and stress and anxiety. So just
opening up about your anxiety
sets a precedent to work
through it together. When
you're in denial, you push people away. Being transparent is
terrifying, because you're still
afraid of that judgement, but
why would you be around people that are going to judge you?
This is your life, your opportunity to make it what it is! When
you decide to heal yourself,
you influence people to do the
same.
Ian welcomes anyone to talk
to him about these topics when
they see him, or to message
him at "Mckay Pts" on Facebook. After all, it's been his
approachability that has been
the catalyst to drive this discussion in the first place.

we're all struggling to get
through life. We throw our life
away to expectation and fear.
You have a right now to be
grateful for, and a right now to
overcome your fears. For instance, I suck at math. But you
know what I said? 'I suck at
math.' That was my choice to
say. Now I've perpetuated the
cycle that I will always be debilitated by a math equation.
But what if instead I said I was
afraid of it and wanted to overcome it? That's the choice we
have to make.
9. You speak a lot about selfdiscovery. Have you gotten
glimpses about what you're
about?
IAN: It's not this mythical
thing where I go and do yoga
for hours and meditate, although those things can be important for people. I think I get
glimpses all the time of what
I'm trying to do, who I'm trying
to become. And I get fear with
those things too. We're more
afraid of our light than our
darkness. [Ian references the
popular quote by Marianne
Williamson.] We're more afraid
to succeed and then fail drastically, than to never try. If Steve
Jobs was still alive and Apple
crumbled underneath him,
think of the shot to his life that
that would be. And that's what
people fear, that if they become
'successful' they have to stay
that way. I would wonder
sometimes [after the article
came out] if I had to put on a
face for people because I was
'supposed to be' happy. As if
life was perfect. Life's not perfect, it'll never be. You don't

Update: In the last article we
talked about how there was always garbage to pick up. For
the first time, this September,
we walked farther than usual
and picked up only about half a
garbage bag! The beach is always cleaner in September, but
this was the cleanest. The only
place that was messy was
where most people picnic and
make a fire. Here there were
Coors beer cans lying about,
Coors cans half burned in the
fire's ashes, and one Coors can
stuck into the branch of a tree.
Mystery: Why would anyone
bring Coors beer to Sable?
And, if you like a place, why
would you leave them?
