Read us on line at www.westendweekly.ca Labour of Love – Hobby Pilot builds his own plane that are required. “We took numerous trips to Mexico, Missouri to pick up parts”, noted Arrigo as to the 12-hour trips that were required. “Lots of road trips”, he laughs about the friendship that was formed with MacDonald throughout the process. So, what is the financial cost for an endeavour such as this? “The basic kit costs twenty one thousand dollars but then there is the engine, radio, instruments and upholstery that all cost extra”, reported Arrigo. “All in all, the cost is over sixty thousand dollars. My wife only thinks it’s fortyfive or fifty thousand”, jokes Doug MacDonald (left) and Leo Arrigo showcase the completed Zenith CH 750 S.T.A.L. Aircraft they constructed.

The maximum weight the airplane can carry is 1,430 pounds. The plane itself weights about 760 pounds leaving approximately 770 pounds for cargo and gasoline. (Should be enough for the shopping trip, Bobbi-Jo!!!) The fuel tank holds enough gas for a 500-mile trip. As I sit in the passenger seat, I am concerned about safety. “The safety records are optimum with this plane”, reports MacDonald. “Zenith has designed a very good plane”. There are many recreational pilots who routinely fly their A work in progress – four years to complete from start to finish. Doug MacDonald shows the 1986 model plane that he built. Arrigo and quickly asserts that his wife, Bobbi-Jo has been a “great support”. Any frustrations along the way? “Oh yeah. When I brought home the windshield, I left it in the car overnight. The next morning I am bringing it inside and drop it. It cracked. Six hundred dollars gone”, Arrigo shakes his head thinking about the many frustrating times along the way and laughs, “It’s a testament that Doug and I still talk to each other”. Arrigo used a hanger at the Fort Frances Airport to construct his plane and that is where we are viewing it. “I am so proud of the dash”, says Arrigo smiling. “It came as a bent piece of aluminum”, he adds noting that it was up to him to determine where the instruments and gauges were going to be located. planes to various destinations. “We do a flight to Nestor Falls for lunch and in aviation talk it is referred to as the hundred dollar hamburger”, quips Arrigo although MacDonald clarifies that it doesn’t actually cost that much. “Nestor Falls is a beautiful destination”, notes MacDonald adding that they recently received funding to improve their landing strip. Many hobby pilots start by flying radio-controlled planes explains MacDonald. “I started that way”, Arrigo pipes in. MacDonald has built three planes so far with plans for a fourth. Arrigo will help MacDonald with his next plane. “It won’t be my frustration this time”, Arrigo laughs. “It will be much easier”. “I’m waiting for the plans to come out”, said MacDonald as to his next plane that he will be building from scratch rather than from a kit. “I’m stubborn”, he smiles. “I have to do it my own way”. Both MacDonald’s plane and Arrigo’s plane can be fitted with floats for the summer season. “That’s my goal in the next couple of years. To put it on floats”, says Arrigo. MacDonald has been a hobby pilot for eleven years and graduated from aviation maintenance in 1991, unfortunately, to a recession. “I do electronics for a living and flying and mechanics as a hobby. It’s something I enjoy”. Arrigo and MacDonald are both members of the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association. MacDonald currently serves as VicePresident. There are about twenty-five regular members from Fort Frances and International Falls who meet the second Tuesday of every month. “We B.S. about airplanes, watch videos and get together for a couple of BBQ’s a year”, reported MacDonald. If you would like more information about the Experimental Aircraft Association go to their website at www.EAA.org or call Leo at 274-9702. So, when is the maiden flight? “We’re just waiting for the final certificate. It could be next weekend”, they report while Arrigo reminds me that, “Doug will be doing it”. So again, Leo, how does it feel to have built your own plane? “It’s been a long labour of love”, he smiles proudly as he looks over at his new plane. Ready for its maiden flight…any day now!

June Caul, Vice-President of the action group and Darryl Galusha, Administrator of Rainycrest Long Term Care were there to present a formal request for support of their mission: To advocate for the senior population and their need to have a place to live where they can feel safe, secure, and maintain their independence with respect, dignity, equality and compassion. It was also noted by Caul that the Township of Emo is very Rainycrest starts New Year with new equipment Pictured from l.

The gift came just in time for flu season. “It cleans and kills germs including H1N1”, advised Galusha as to the effectiveness of the new equipment adding that it has a 5-minute wash cycle, uses four and a half gallons of water, and steam dries the equipment at one hundred and twenty degrees. “We are so blessed to have the Auxiliary who work so hard to improve the quality of life for residents and staff at Rainycrest”, said an emotional Galusha. June Caul, President of the Rainycrest Auxiliary said the members all supported the purchase and were happy to see their hard work put to good use. “It makes me feel good to know how much it is needed”, said an Auxiliary member after she watched the demonstration. As the group of members were leaving, a grateful staff member stopped by to express her appreciation to the Auxiliary for the new equipment. If you would like to get involved with the Rainycrest Auxiliary or make a donation, contact June Caul at 274-2209. New Year underway for Branch 29 Auxiliary The Fort Frances Ladies Auxiliary to Branch #29 met on January 8th for the first meeting of the New Year. Thanks to everyone who braved the cold and came out. A welcome message was given by the new president Al- freda Easton and a big thank you given to Silvia Gunderson for 10 hard working years as president.

The people who have lived here for most or all of their lives do not want to move from Fort Frances. We have already lost many senior residents who needed assisted living and had to move away to find an appropriate place to live. We have been told by seniors who have already moved away that they will move back if an assisted living complex is built”. The committee is currently working to acquire land in an After clarification that the committee was not requesting financial support, the Mayor and Council voted unanimously to support the Assisted Living Action Group in their endeavor. “Support in principle is all that can be provided. Financial support is not there right now”, noted Mayor Avis although he added that the he and the council know that there is a need as he looked around at the members of Council stating that they are all over fifty-five. Council members also offered their assistance to advocate for the action group through their membership on various boards including DSSAB and the Fort Frances Clinic. Moos by Kim Jo Bliss Here we are - already the middle of January! Time sure does go fast - I should be calving in one month so I need to get myself organized, stuff in place and supplies ordered. My cows are still living quite contentedly in the bush and have been much happier these past few days since we seemed to have moved out of the deep freeze! I hope that is the end of the cold weather for this winter! I was telling a friend the other day that the cattle, rabbits, sheep, tractor, water (never mind myself) all were in a better mood now that the weather has improved. Funny how -20 seems balmy! As much as many think this is a less busy time of the year and for the most part it is - the animals tend to require more care and if you are one of us people that still calve in the winter months - they require a whole lot more care! It is also the time of year we tend to try Legion Chat by Walter Wagner, Major Hughes Br. 54 president very easy to clean. Two new members were initiated, Susan Neurinski and Carol Affleck - welcome aboard ladies. Plans are being made for members to attend the district meeting being held in Atikokan March 28-30th. The monthly supper is Friday Jan 31st and Roast Beef is on the menu with all the trimmings and home baked pies. $14.00 - 5:30 with doors open at 4:30 The birthday draw was won by Jane Hayes and attendance prize by Jeanette Cawston. Bingo was played and a snack served. Our next meeting is Feb 13th at 7:00 upstairs at the Legion. Any ladies who are interested in joining can contact Linda Larocque at 274-1567 appropriate area, after which plans will be drawn of the building that will be constructed on the property. Caul asked Council for their formal support of the project. “Please help us when we need information about Town bylaws or the necessary permits we will require”. The committee has been working with various organizations including DSSAB, the Northwest LHIN and Riverside Health Care and have also started a membership drive to raise funds for the cause. “I implore you to give your blessing and support to the Assisted Living Action Group. Our seniors deserve the best quality of life here in their home town of Fort Frances. I believe that this is the first chat of the year so I wish our members and staff a Happy New Year. May the year find everyone healthy and prosperous, mainly healthier. We have not decided what this year’s projects will be. One thing we can all participate in is the volunteer of the year award. If you know an individual who serves the community selflessly by being on committees, volunteers at events, delivering meals on wheels, cleaning snow for elders, selling tickets, any volunteering at all, go on line to [email protected] or drop a letter at the Legion. Please put “volunteer” on the outside of the envelope. Hope to hear from the public. Lest We Forget getting caught up on the hours of book work that we have! Working for yourself does not mean less bookwork! It is also the time of year that everything is due - and everyone is looking for $. Annual renewals, insurance and of course many are booking seed/fertilizer in anticipation of the growing season ahead. I am a small farm as compared to many and I just cannot believe how much paper work I have. It does seem as though it becomes more and more every year! This Saturday in Guelph they are hosting a Beef Symposium. Obviously most of us cannot travel to participate but they have agreed to allow us to participate with a Webex. If you are interested in joining us - please let me know! The topics look wonderful and it is a great way to be a part of this and still stay within our district. I am still trying to work out the details on locations but get in touch with me and I will be sure to give you the updated information. If you would like to see a copy of the agenda - I would be happy to send it to you as well. They have some great speakers lined up. The Rainy River Cattlemen’s Association will be holding their Annual Meeting on Thursday January 23, 2014 at Our Lady of the Way in Stratton. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. We have often been known to have the coldest weather for our meeting - but let’s hope that is behind us this year. The agenda includes: a small constitution change, updates from other committees, Arden Schneckenburger from the board of Beef Farmers of Ontario and Barry Potter will talk about “Handling your cows the Happy way!” I think that topic should bring all of us producers out! Of course we will have elections to the board but don’t let that scare you away! We are always looking for suggestions and comments - it is helpful to hear from the entire membership. Rainy River Meats is sponsoring the coffee break - so I am looking forward to seeing everyone next Thursday! Annual Meeting Thursday, January 23rd 7:00 pm at Our Lady of the Way School in Stratton We encourage everyone to come, we always need input from our members! •Arden Schneckenburger, BFO Board, will have a presentation • Barry Potter, OMARFA, “How to handle cows the happy way!” • Elections to the 2014 Board • Constitution Change Coffee Break sponsored by Rainy River Meats Notice of Submission of Environmental Assessment Rainy River Project Rainy River Resources Ltd.

Call us at 482-3070 Page 3, The Westend Weekly, January 15, 2014 Community mourns passing Riverside announces Convalescent of long-standing Chief Care Program at Rainycrest By: Teresa Hazel Chief Charles “Chuck” McPherson was more than a Chief; he was a husband, father and grandfather. He was also a brother, a friend, a coworker and a mentor. His controversial stand on unresolved legal issues with the government with the erection of a toll booth brought about criticism and also results. He was a leader who made tough decisions for the betterment of his community and future generations. He understood the importance of culture and during his tenure, a beautiful new powwow grounds was constructed on Couchiching First Nation; a place for traditional ceremony and a gathering place for the community and its neighbours. Chief McPherson or “Chuck” as many people called him served his community for over sixteen years before his sudden passing on January 5, 2014 at the age of 60. The new arena that he envisioned for the community of Couchiching First Nation was opened to the public in the fall and his dream of providing a place for the children to excel in hockey was realized. It was fitting that his funeral service was held at “The Duke” arena, where many dignitaries including Grand Chief Warren White, Chiefs from throughout Treaty #3, government officials and municipal Mayors and Reeves were in attendance along with community members, family and friends; some donning hockey and football jerseys reflecting his love of sports. During his tenure, a beautiful 18-hole golf course was also built in the community. Chuck McPherson was remembered as a grandfather who joined his granddaughter for tea parties. He was remembered as a role model to his three sons and as a loving hus- band to his wife Brenda. He was remembered as a leader who made a difference and worked tirelessly for his community of Couchiching First Nation. Words from the Book of Wisdom were read by longtime co-worker and friend Christine Jourdain at the service and Bishop Fred Colli from the Diocese of Thunder Bay sent a message of sympathy and praise for the Chief. Father Victor DeGagne who presided over the service summed up the sentiment of many when he thanked the family for giving “their Chuck” to be “our Chief”. Reflecting his love of children and sports, the family has requested that memorial donations be made to Kids Sport, 396 Scott Street, Fort Frances, Ontario; or to the charity of your choice. The Westend Weekly extends its sympathy to the family of Chief McPherson and to the community of Couchiching First Nation at this time of sadness and grief.

Darryl Galusha, Administrator displays one of the new rooms designed for convalescent care. By: Teresa Hazel Somewhere between acute care, long-term care and respite care comes convalescent care. It is a transitional mode of care for patients who require a period of time to recover their strength, endurance or functioning before going home. Riverside was able to fill this gap, as it recently secured funding for four convalescent care beds and Rainycrest seemed the natural choice for these beds to be accommodated. “The cost for care is exceptionally less and there are more opportunities for the patient to interact and socialize within the facility”, noted Darryl Galusha, Administrator at Rainycrest Long Term Care. “They can go to the dining room for meals and take part in activities that are going on”, he added. Patients requiring convalescent care can only stay a maximum of ninety days so the timing of transfer from a hospital bed to a convalescent care bed is important. This will be managed by the Northwest Community Care Access Centre. Patients 18 years and older are able to utilize these beds. Three rooms at Rainycrest have been remodeled to accommodate the four beds; two single-bed rooms and a room with two beds. “We wanted them to be like hotel rooms or like home”, noted Galusha about the design and décor of the new rooms. “It’s about getting well and feeling better so the environment is important”, he added. With Registered Nurses on staff and rehabilitation serv- ices, including physiotherapy, available at Rainycrest, the patient will have access to all needed supports during their time of recuperation. “These patients do not require acute care but they do need care and we will provide that care”, explained Galusha. Riverside Health Care operates the four health care facilities in the District and worked with many stakeholders to ensure this new direction was carried out strategically. “Hospital and long term care staff collaborated very closely on the planning and implementation of the new program with our local key stakeholders”, said Allan Katz, President and CEO of Riverside Health Care in a press release issued. “We also wish to thank the North West Local Health Integration Network and the North West Community Care Access Centre for their support and assistance”, added Mr. Katz. For more information about the programs and services offered by Riverside Health Care or to see a copy of the press release, go to www.riversidehealthcare.ca . Javel Burke, Registered Nurse and Darryl Galusha are pleased to be providing convalescent care at Rainycrest. SALE!

In fact, we come across thousands of them from the air we breathe, the food we eat, to the things that come in contact with our skin. Throughout life our risk of illness varies due to things outside of our control. Thankfully, there are things that we do have control of in this battle to be healthy. Let’s look into how to better our chances of beating the bug! Our immune system is always working to keep us healthy. Without our immune system we would die in a matter of hours. Think about when a body dies, it is inhabited within only a few hours by illnesses, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Our body’s immune system is complex from our saliva and our skin, to our thymus, which makes fighting T-cells, and our bone marrow, which makes red and white blood cells. These parts and many others are constantly working to help us fight off illness. Some foods help us stay healthy and others can help get us sick. Our diet plays a major factor in our immune health. Foods with trans fats, which include many baked goods, can cause inflammation and hinder our immune health. Foods such as high fat dairy, fatty cuts of meat, cream sauces, and many bakery items have a high saturated fat content that can cause trouble for our circulatory system and lower our body’s ability to have a properly functioning immune system. High sugar foods can cause insulin spikes that stress the body and decrease immune response. Some foods that help us stay healthy are probably of no surprise to you, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and a plethora of water. The fruits, vegetables, and whole grains provide antioxidants and phytochemicals, which help our body get rid of free radicals and prevent disease. These foods have their own immune system, so let’s use theirs to help ours! They also provide the fiber needed for proper breeding grounds for good bacteria in our colon. This good bacteria is responsible for 70% of our immune system! The water we drink and water from the fruits and vegetables we eat are vital to help keep our bodies hydrated. All of our body’s systems need water. Something many of us do not think of when it comes to good things for our immune system is protein. Our immune system needs protein to make the fierce fighting T cells. As Americans, we normally don’t have a problem getting enough protein, but the problem can be getting protein with too many calories and fat (normally saturated fat). Choose low fat protein sources like, lean meat, low fat dairy, beans and whole grains. As we age, our ability to digest protein is compromised. If you are older, remember to have your protein first during your meals to ensure you will get your fill of protein. Independent of how much activity we get per day, the more sedentary we are the higher risk we have of chronic disease. For instance if we are sitting for more than one hour at a time our risk for cancer increases because of a hormonal shift in our body. Getting up and walking for two minutes every hour can stop this shift. Activity also helps with circulation. The better circulation we have, the better our immune system can be. Too much exercise on the other hand can cause the immune system to weaken, which we have seen happen to some elite athletes. This is due to the added physical load of recovery and healing from multiple intense workouts per day. Sleep and rest are important to lessen our stress and add to the healing and repair of our bodies systems, recommendations are seven to nine hours of sleep per day. A part of our immune sys- Letter to the editor tem, which many of us may be familiar with is our lymphatic system. Our lymphatic system needs water and activity to move waste along. This is just another reason why water (washing away) and activity (movement) are important to our immune system. We all have immune systems that work. It is just that some work better than others. Some of us have a compromised immune system, like the young, old, or pregnant. We are all different and not all of us need to be as sensitive to some things as others. Worry about taking care of yourself. Don’t compare yourself to others when determining what will keep you healthy. Eating to love yourself will always help you to love what you eat, especially when you know it will help you be healthy this winter season! Gabriel Mooney is a registered and licensed dietitian at Lakewood Health Center in Baudette, MN. Go Local Dear Editor: First, thank you for capitalizing "God" because in our day and age, most people deny His existence. Second, thank you for acknowledging the position of the people, that most people do not want God who identifies any of the things they practice as sin. There was a time when it was acceptable by the majority of people to identify sin as sin, but that doesn't exist any longer. Tolerance tolerates anything now except those who identify sin as sin. My letter is not really to address homosexuality or whether or not it is sin, though I could write about that, but whether a society and the "moral majority" is always correct in their determination of right and wrong. In recent world history, societies have risen in power who determined that it was ok to exterminate other groups of people based on their roots, or to treat certain types of people as slaves because of their skin colour. Were they right because they were the majority? Was the person speaking out against these things viewed as tolerant or closed minded? Their society would have viewed them as intolerant and closed minded. Their societies were wrong. Who determines when murder is wrong? The society or God? Is right and wrong absolute or does it change with public opinion? Where does right and wrong come from? Where does our conscience come from? Can the conscience become corrupted to such a point that wrong becomes right? Nazi Germany and the black slave trade are both examples of human history when a society can and does call wrong right and calls those who call for right as "traitors worthy of death" in the case of Nazi Germany. Is this where we are going as a society, when those who call sin are now not tolerated by our "tolerant" society? Best regards, Rick Taillefer, Fort Frances Meet the Muskie’s Calie Clendenning #35 Calie Clendenning is the Goalie for the Muskie Girls hockey team. She has been minding the net for three years and wears #35. Although she keeps her nerves in check while making crucial saves and blocking shots during shootouts, she has had some tense moments off the ice. “My scariest memory was the bus crash on the way to the Fargo tournament”, Clendenning recollects adding that there are also funny times with the team especially the antics of the players. “We do have lots of fun together!” With the commitment that is required to play High School sports, Calie is grateful for the opportunity. “Hockey has kept me busy and out of trouble”. As school work is the number one priority for Muskie team players, the girls are on a two-week break to complete exams and coursework for the 1st Semester. Hockey action will resume again on January 28th when the Muskie’s will visit International Falls to take on the Broncos. The Broncos will be looking to capitalize on home ice after the Muskies beat them 6 – 2 back in December. Meet Your Go Local Business Owners Doug & Blair Anderson, Betty’s “The Store with More” Betty Anderson opened a hat shop during the Depression. She was a widow with children and a business woman when ladies were not. On a loan, she grew her business from a milliner to a dress shop and began sewing wedding dresses for a generation of brides. Her first store was a rental in the front of Hallikas Steam Baths. As her popularity increased so did the quantity of her inventory, resulting in the nickname “trunk load Betty.” To accommodate her ever growing merchandise, her son Ron and daughter-in-law Elaine began to push back the walls of the steam shop at night. As the selling space expanded six inches at a time, the steam bath patrons inside questioned their waist lines as the room felt smaller and IceBox Days Deals IceBox of Savings Reply to "Keep this God out of the classroom" 3 DAYS ONLY smaller. She built a brand, and that brand was pink. There was no doubt in Fort Frances that you had a special package when you walked down Scott Street with one of her pink bags. It was all pink... walls, receipts, and the store front wrapped in bubble gum. Her grandsons, Doug and Blair, mind the counter at Betty’s today. The building is still painted pink, and the store is filled to the rafters with inventory. “The store with more” is truly a motto they abide. It is with enthusiasm that Doug shows you each toy, book and box, especially selected to grow young minds, offer hours of fun and become cherished. Ask the brothers their favourite ice cream flavour and Doug will grin and reply with the obvious strawberry. “We both love pink”, says Blair. They both agree that in the Anderson family everyone worked. “You worked on the farm and you helped out at the store.” Blair can remember his first job, at 4 years old, was to shovel out the cinders from the heating stove. Growing up, being entrepreneurial was just what the Anderson family did. Despite the modern free trade economy, the Anderson brothers ‘Go Local’ when they can. Canadian and American made clothing lines still occupy most of the space on their sales floor. Tradition and loyalty matter at Betty’s. However, Betty’s isn’t a business that lives off of its past, and both brothers thrive on finding the next interesting product to put on the shelves. Being the owners of a small independent retailer isn’t likely any easier in 2013 for the brothers than it was last century for their grandmother. Competing in a global marketplace and balancing both family and work has made for some tough days. It seems though that the business will continue to be an icon on Scott Street for many years to come. The boys claim retailing is in their blood, and one may wonder if their medical charts would reveal that that blood is pink. % 60 STOREWIDE OFF Jan. 16, 17 & 18 xclusions appl me e y. *So At The Jug Liquors 1/11 – 1/18 Hamm’s Rolling Rock 30 pack cans $ 1299 12 pack bottles $ 999 24 pack cans $1699 Molson Canadian 24 pack cans $ 1799 Wiser’s Canadian Whisky Korbel Brandy 1.75 1.75 $ 1699 $ 1699 Gallo Wines Karkov Vodka 1.5 1.75 $ $ 799 1199 Don’t Forget The Bar Supplies!
