Hope arrived at Bear With Us on January 26 and she was seen by Dr. Sherry Cox of the National Wildlife Centre on January 28th. Hope had Xrays, physical, blood work, urine samples taken. The results were in the next day and her kidneys were failing. Dr. Cox told McIntosh to dramatically increase protein and calorie intake so he began feeding her hamburger with eggs, crushed shells and sardines. Another urine test on the 31st showed that her kidneys were fine and Mike firmly believes it was because of the power of the prayers of a great many people. Next Dr. Cox got Hope an MRI appointment for February 9 in Guelph. Dr. Cox wasn't satisfied with that kind of delay so she found another place in Oakville that could do it on February 3rd. This was now making history and CBC and CTV were calling her Canada's most famous bear. It was determined that nothing was wrong with her spine or any other bones yet her back end had been paralyzed since the very start and she was now fully paralyzed except for her head & neck and she was in a lot of pain. The decision was made to do a spinal tap immediately. Staff waited for the results until midnight. No one was leaving. The final diagnosis was a very treatable form of meningitis. Dr. Cox started drug treatment on February 4 back at Bear With Us under the care of Mike McIntosh and supervision of Dr. Cox. When Hope was first seen by Dr. Cox she was in very poor condition so she estimates it will take at least 30 days for her to get up and walk again. Following further recuperation she'll be coming home to be released back to nature and will live out her life in good health. Mike had a call from Mike McIntosh on February 9 that The first bear ever to receive an MRI.

The Westend Weekly is excited to introduce its newest member, Melissa Friesen. She's a young writer who took the position to become more involved with her community. After graduating high school in 2008 she took a year off to work and continue her studies online, then went to Bible School in Spain, took a semester of school in Langley, BC, spent 11 months in 11 countries as a missionary, and spent most of last year near Atlanta, Georgia working for the same mission organization. She wouldn't have imagined that she would find herself back in her small hometown of Fort Frances at the age of 24. But she couldn't have dreamed up what she's been able to do so far! So for now, she's happy to be here and write about it along the way. Are you paying too much for your insurance? Martin Dufresne 275-8916 852-4237 274-6688 Call us for a free no obligation quote. Proudly Serving the Entire Rainy River District Walter Bloedow 229 Scott Street, Fort Frances 274-6688 1-800-289-9917 Page 2, The Westend Weekly, February 11, 2015 passings From the house submitted by John Rafferty M.P. Two weeks ago I was very humbled and honoured to have been appointed the New Democrat Critic for Pensions by our leader Tom Mulcair. It is a heavy responsibility and one that dovetails with the local concerns of many constituents in Thunder Bay – Rainy River. The starting point for my work as the New Democrat Critic for Pensions is my belief that each and every Canadian by virtue of our citizenship is entitled to a secure and dignified retirement. We work hard, play by the rules, and contribute in various ways to our nation’s social and economic success. A dignified retirement – secure access to food, shelter, clothing, and medicare as we may need it – is our base reward for contributing to the greater good throughout our lives. We care not just for ourselves, but also for our family, friends, and neighbours and they in turn care for us. With that being said a secure and dignified retirement still eludes many Canadians. This is absolutely unacceptable in a society that is as prosperous as ours. Our pension and retirement systems are broken and leave many far behind in what should be their ‘Golden Years.’ I feel that it is my job as your Member of Parliament and the New Democrat Critic for Pensions to propose solutions to fix our pension and retirement systems and to find ways to enhance the quality of life for Canadians who are retired today and those who will retire in the future. If you have been paying any attention to federal politics over the last decade, then you will have noticed that the NDP is the only party that believes our pension and retirement systems are broken and has made strong commitments to repair the damage done by the current and past governments. Jack Layton always understood that pension and retirement security was a fundamental issue of fairness and equality, and Tom Mulcair and all New Democrats today from coast to coast to coast continue to believe this. In past elections we laid out realistic and affordable policies to strengthen and enhance the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) which has served us well, but which is failing to keep up to the economic realities facing future generations. While 'Baby Boomers' like myself can still count on a significant benefit from the CPP when we retire the increasing privatization of public services like healthcare and education will mean that our children and grandchildren will face a more uncertain future, and will have much more difficulty finding money to put aside for their retirement. Most economists agree that an improved and enhanced CPP, with modestly higher deductions today and significantly higher payouts in the future, would serve Canadians well. New Democrats share this belief, and we will also reverse the unnecessary cuts made to the Old Age Supplement (OAS) program by the Harper Conservatives Meet the Muskies which will force all Canadians to work until age 67 before collecting their retirement benefits. Another pension related issue that has and will continue to be a very high priority for me will be the security, or rather insecurity, of various private pension plans. Many of you will recall the hardships faced by the displaced workers at AbitibiBowater a few years back. When that company entered restructuring and bankruptcy proceedings it was found that the pension plan that was supposed to be maintained by the company was underfunded by more than $1.4 billion. What was worse was that these workers had no legal recourse for recovering these lost wages since pension plan holders are relegated to the bottom of the list of creditors during restructuring and bankruptcy proceedings. As the Member of Parliament for many of these affected workers it was – and remains – my job to seek justice on their behalf and others who face similar difficulties when companies like AbitibiBowater and Nortel fail to live up to their obligations. Strengthening and enhancing public and private pensions will be the central focus of my work as the New Democratic Critic for Pensions moving forward. New Democrats have always made this a priority, and I am proud to continue this work and I won’t stop working until all Canadians are able to enjoy a secure and dignified retirement.

He began guiding for the camps in his teens, fishing on many local area lakes, and hunting for many varieties of large and small game.

Chuck met his late wife Merla (nee Whalen) when they were working in Atikokan, and they were married on Nov 17, 1956. Together, they took over Hanson’s King Island Lodge from his parents and ran it together until Merla’s passing in 1991. Together, they had 2 children, son Randy and daughter Donna, who they groomed to also live and work in the family business. Chuck met many lifelong friends at King Island, many of whom he and Merla would travel to visit during the winter months. Chuck was also an advocate for the tourism industry in Northwestern Ontario, active for many years with the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters and Northwestern Ontario Tourism Association. Upon retirement, Chuck settled with his second love, Gladys Jolicouer, in Stratton, ON. His favourite activities in his retirement years included casino trips to Warroad, cooking at the Moose Club in Baudette with Gladys and beating just about anyone who visited him at their house at a game of cribbage. Chuck was predeceased by his parents Ken and Ellen Hanson, his wife Merla Hanson and his grandson, Devin Allison.

Chief Georjann Morriseau to withdraw her candidacy for the federal constituency of Thunder Bay – Rainy River in the 2015 general election. “Georjann has proven to be a very effective Chief for the Fort William First Nation and a strong voice in our community and region. I welcome the opportunity to continue working with her to improve the well-being of our constituents. In particular we must continue our work to rebuild the James St. bridge which is a vital link between the people, economies, and cultures of Thunder Bay and the Fort William First Nation. For my part, I will continue to lay the groundwork for our federal government to take a more active role in this process should negotiations fail between our communities and CN Rail. I wish Georjann all the best with her ongoing work as Chief of the Fort William First Nation."

Toppling to the floor, both girls ended the scene paralyzed and crying for help. I later learned that this scene was an interpretation of a dream about two stars colliding in the sky. The show stayed true to its fantastical and bizarre circus theme, while being "a collaboration of 23 peoples' ideas". Instead of traditional dialogue, the actors used projections, sound and movement to explore what we experience during dreams. It was the performers' excellent use of sound both onstage (using tap shoes to create the Lauren Gurski next to the production playbill. sound of an oncoming train) by Melissa Friesen lano University's original perand off stage (a chorus of Vancouver's PuSh Festival is formance of Phantasmagoria: voices chanting in the speakers in full force this time of year Circus of Dreams .

The wind up doll showed off his dancing skills in a romantic scene gone awry . There was, of course, the cleverly portrayed recurring nightmare of standing in front of people naked. Somewhere in between the marionettes and the deranged clown, Gurski gets swallowed by a large white sheet with blinking lights. The sound effects left the audience fearing for what might have happened to her. Gradually the sheet covered the entire audience like a blanket and some patrons fought it off, feeling vulnerable and oddly exposed under its canopy. In fact, the entire show was at least somewhat unnerving, connecting the audience with the subconscious world that people so rarely know how to articulate, and perhaps for good reason.

Page 5, The Westend Weekly, February 11, 2015 How Canada fails people with mental illnesses By Paul Kurdyak and Sanjeev Sockalingam Expert Advisors EvidenceNetwork.ca In any developed country, politicians and clinicians are struggling to improve quality of care while reducing costs of healthcare systems. To remedy this, groups of doctors across North America - including here in Canada - have banded together to create lists of medical procedures or tests that are likely to be of no benefit (at best) or can possibly do harm while adding unnecessary costs. The goal of this initiative, called Choosing Wisely, is to improve quality of care and to address rising healthcare costs. This campaign hopes to inspire a dialogue between clinicians and patients about making good, evidence-based, cost-effective choices about their health and healthcare. But the big dilemma for those working in the field of mental health is not about overuse or misuse, but how difficult it is to get any treatment at all. You can't choose wisely if you can't access care. There is overwhelming evidence that access to mental healthcare across Canada is poor. Only one in five people with depression get appropriate treatment. And shockingly, only one in three patients discharged from a psychiatric hospitalization sees a primary care physician or psychiatrist within a month in Ontario as reported by Health Quality Ontario. This poor post-discharge follow-up rate is far worse than the nearly 100 per cent of patients who see a physician following a hospitalization for heart failure. So why do we do so poorly for people with mental illnesses? The answer to that question is complicated, but mental illness is one of the biggest predictors of inequitable access to care in this country. We know that having a mental illness means that you are far less likely to get the healthcare you need than someone without a mental illness and that mental illness is a bigger predictor of poor access to care than low income. This is truly bad for patients with psychiatric illnesses, but it's also bad business and costly to taxpayers - the price of a physician visit following hospitalization is far less than the cost of ending up back in the hospital because you had no hope of continuing the treatment that helped you get better. The good news is that we often know what works for people with mental illnesses. There are many types of treatment, both drugs and psychological (talk) therapies, that are well-tested and effective. But The Bookworm Sez by Terri Schlichenmeyer The Magician’s Lie by Greer Macallister Abracadabra. Now you see it. Now you don’t because a good magician knows to hide his props behind his fingers, beneath her clothes, in his pockets. And yet we flock to see that sleight of hand, the illusions, the chance to be awe-struck, entertained, and fooled. Now you see it. Now you don’t. And in the new novel “The Magician’s Lie” by Greer Macallister, the only thing she’s hiding is the truth. Officer Virgil Holt figured his life was over. Just that week, he’d learned that the bullet he carried in his body could kill him at any time. Once the sheriff found out, he’d strip Virgil of his badge; he’d lose his wife, his home, everything he’d worked for. So when a dead man was found in a theatre basement, gruesomely chopped in half, Virgil almost wished he could trade places. But then something happened that could save him: Virgil captured The Amazing Arden, illusionist, wife of the dead man. Virgil had seen her stage show. He knew she cut men in two and he had her now, triple-handcuffed to a jailhouse chair. He wanted a confession but instead, Arden began telling Virgil a story… Once, long ago when she was called Ada , her mother taught her to dance and she had big plans. Then a cousin ruined everything by throwing Ada off a beam onto a barn floor. Just before fleeing for her life, she learned of her own healing powers. As a runaway, Ada took a job as a kitchen maid where she met a boy and fell in love; he took her to New York , then broke her heart. Shortly afterward, she found work with a magic show, the owner of which taught Ada everything about illusion, and about pleasing a crowd. Ada grew to crave applause. When the man she loved came back into her life, Ada became Arden , famous for her daring stage shows. She was in love, and happy until everything changed, all because of a fire and a chance meeting that nearly killed her. She was a victim. She didn’t kill her husband. She didn’t know who did. At least that’s what she said… So you might be a little gullible. You know when someone’s fibbing – more or less. But the one thing you’ll know for sure when you read this book is that you’ve got a winner in your hands. Set around the turn of the last century, “The Magician’s Lie” proves, like any good stage show, that our brains can easily deceive us: never mind the characters, we readers don’t truly know if Arden is spinning a fable or giving an alibi. I’m still reeling from the possibilities myself, because author Greer Macallister’s conjured up the kind of novel that pulls readers in, shakes us up, and leaves us feeling sawed in two. That, and the lingering sense of having just been happily duped, makes this one very satisfying novel and you know you want it. Go now, find “The Magician’s Lie,” and watch your time disappear. in the mental health realm we need to start 'Working Wisely' before we can 'Choose Wisely.' What would 'Working Wisely' look like? Cancer care is an example of a system of care that is largely efficient across Canada. It works because most people with cancer get a good diagnostic work-up to measure the cancer severity and, based on those tests, get the cancer treatment they need. In most provinces, we know what the population burden of cancer is and can create systems of care accordingly. Outcomes are also constantly measured and processes of care are modified based on continuous quality feedback. We have nothing close to this in mental health across the country, which means we don't have a good sense of population-based need. And if we don't have a clear sense of need, we won't be able to align existing resources with present Sale starts Wednesday, Feb. 11th, and ends at 10PM on Saturday, Feb. 14!!! % 50 OFF TABLE!!

'Working Wisely' for mental healthcare in Canada would mean investing in the capacity to screen and triage for mental illnesses, to create care pathways based on the burden of illness highlighted by the screen and triage process, and to measure meaningful patient outcomes to constantly improve the way care is delivered. The Mental Health Commission of Canada's National Strategic Framework, and virtually every province with a mental health strategy, has called for better performance measurement in the past five years. This is a daunting task nothing less than the creation of a system of care where none currently exists.

The 1980's price collapse had taught me the importance of building our company's asset base upon resources having the lowest possible development and operating costs. Even as oil prices hit US$60/barrel, we were still using a price of half that amount to test the financial resiliency of our development projects. Since retiring, I've watched in amazement as oil prices continued their climb to over $100/barrel. Even more amazing has been the mandating of so many projects requiring sustained high oil prices to be economically viable. Were the lessons of the 1980's forgotten in a euphoric cash-rich drive for growth? Or could it be that the current generation of industry leaders aren't old enough to have experienced those lessons? The last time the Saudis became fed-up with diminishing market share, it took 20 years for oil prices to recover. Then they doubled again to more than to over $100/barrel in the next eight years. No-one knows if such high prices will ever be seen again, but projects based on the higher quality resources The Los Angeles Times headline reads, "Oil Glut, Price Collapse Spreads Across World Economies: As producers squirm, other nations rejoice". That headline describes the current situation perfectly, but it appeared on March 2, 1986; almost three decades ago. In a story published days later, Los Angeles Times reporter Don Cook stated "The critical issue . . . is the outright state of economic warfare declared by the Saudis". Events leading up to these stories were remarkably similar to those of today. The oil glut started building in the early 1980's when soaring oil prices drove expanded nonOPEC production and weakened demand. Slowing economic activity in industrialized countries exacerbated the glut. Efforts by the Saudis to tighten markets were stymied as other OPEC members habitually failed to adhere to their allocated quotas, leaving the Kingdom as the sole swing producer. After five years of seeing their market share drop, the Saudis had enough. Within hours of Oil Minister Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani's vow to end the erosion of his country's market share, prices plummeted from US$30/barrel to below $10. It would be almost 20 years later, in 2005, before real (inflation-adjusted) oil prices finally climbed back to We offer our new meeting room for an introductory rate of $29.99/2 hours Available days, nights & weekends Call 274-0610 [email protected] Call us with your Sears orders!

Rather than risking shareholder capital on projects needing unsustainably inflated prices to be financially viable, prudent forecasting and cost discipline will need to rule. This reality will drive a fundamental sorting out of industry players based on the quality of their assets and technological expertise. Those with projects that can yield acceptable riskadjusted returns at prices at the lower end of the scale will gain investor support, while the owners of higher cost assets pray for salvation from the Saudis. That's an unlikely prospect because putting the fear of high oil price forecasts into the industry's psyche is precisely the Saudi's goal. Longer term, there's one factor that ensures a strong future for oil producers. Every barrel produced must be replaced if global production is to be sustained. Tomorrow morning, there will be 94 million fewer barrels of oil than existed this morning. And despite moderating demand among industrialized countries, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts developing world growth will drive global demand to 120 million barrels per day by 2040, while the current global capacity surplus is only four million barrels per day. No one knows how long it will take, but the coming corporate player retrenchment combined with global demand growth will, once again, see the Canadian oil sector humming. It will be a stronger, more resilient industry. And just maybe, history lessons will have become compulsory.

This time we know what we’re getting into.” With Enge in Thunder Bay, the balance of the team in Sudbury, their coach in Kenora and the demands of a full time job at Canada Post getting together requires some creativity. To hone their skills the team competes regularly, meeting weekly at bonspiels through the fall. Team meetings are held through video chat. “With current technology, it works,” she said. “I love my girls. We’ve been together a long time and we make it work.” Enge was first introduced to the sport by her Dad when she started tagging along to the rink in Grade 8. “But it didn’t pique my interest then,” she said. It wasn’t until she reached high school when she joined the Muskies team that she developed a passion for the sport. “I liked the competitiveness. I liked the strategy. I liked how I could improve so much so quickly in a sport,” she said. Despite her relatively late start in the sport she excelled quickly earning many high school titles. But she didn’t see herself reaching the Scotties. “Back then, I kept my focus on the next thing, like getting to NORWASSA,” she said. Earning a spot in the Junior Nationals in 2008 changed her perspective. “I reached a point where I thought, yup, I’m going to get there. This is possible,” she said. “With so many teams, that (the junior’s) is how they started.” Enge doesn’t see her career stalling at the Scotties. In 2013, the team entered Olympic pre-trials dubbed the Road to the Roar. Although their first bid was unsuccessful, another attempt is on the radar. “I definitely see Olympic pre-trials and trials in our future,” she said. The Scotties Tournament of Hearts will be held February 12-22 in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. As the representative of a newly formed division Enge’s rink will begin the competition in a relegation round against fellow newcomers Northwest Territories and Yukon with the top team moving on to the main competition. “Right now, we’re focused on getting through that process,” said Enge. “With our game and our strategy I think we’ll do well.” The team’s first draw will take place against Northwest Territories, Thursday February 12 at 7 p.m. To follow the team’s progress, visit www.culring.ca for schedules and standings. Page 7, The Westend Weekly, February 11, 2015 Moos by Kim Jo Bliss "Capitalism" saved the world By Mark Milke In a recent column from a Toronto journalist on communism and capitalism, the writer made an astonishing claim: While "millions have been the tragic victims of communism," Roy MacGregor wrote, "that number pales, surely, in comparison with the victims of capitalism." Surely, it does not. The columnist attempted to link communism and capitalism as mere ideological flipsides of the same economic coin. But few claims could be more errant than to equate a theoretical, utopian theory given new life by a 19th century German academic on how people should behave (pretend incentives don't matter, equality of result is desirable) with observable human reality (people always buy, sell and trade - the prerequisites to widespread prosperity). It is unclear how MacGregor defines communism and capitalism. But we have a hint. In the case of capitalism, he writes of "crimes" that "extend back beyond the Crusades and the spice wars to the very first deal that went badly sour." To conflate the existence of religious and commercial wars with a concurrent open system of buying, bartering and selling mistakes the existence of freedom with abuses committed in its' sphere. It's akin to blaming a mugging in Central Park on the park itself. Capitalism, courtesy of one useful definition, assumes this basic premise: that "subject to certain [justifiable] restrictions, individuals (alone or with others) are free to de- cide where to invest, what to produce or sell, and what prices to charge." Such activity, from the earliest Babylonian fishermen to bankers in Boston, has existed forever when not forcibly prevented by rulers. Capitalism and markets, akin to a park allowing a multitude of freely-chosen activities, have been massively beneficial. Some years ago, the late British economist Angus Maddison catalogued the last 1,000 years of the world economy in a landmark OECD study. He noted how the wider adoption of free trade (one aspect of capitalism) was first beneficial to Western Europe, then the Americas and more recently, East Asian countries. Every society in history that participates in capitalism prospers. (Compare South Korea today with communist North Korea.) My colleagues at the Fraser Institute have found similar results. Consider economic freedom, which occurs within a framework of property rights, sound money, the rule of law, and sensible regulation and taxation. Economic freedom allows people (including the very poor) to create wealth; it also correlates with increased life expectancy and greater civil liberties and increased political rights. Contrast that with communism, briefly defined as "economic systems in which the government owns the means of production." Space does not permit a full cataloguing of all of communism's failures. Communism, when practiced in fact (China before Deng Xiaoping's re- forms as one example) requires the abolition of individual choice and complete subjugation to the ruling elite - precisely because choice otherwise undermines forced collectivism. One result has always been economic shortages of every conceivable good; another is endemic repression as governments seek to smother a basic human impulse: to openly barter with others and buy goods and services at an agreed-upon price. As Jeanne Kirkpatrick famously wrote in 1979, unlike traditional dictatorships, which abused direct opponents but felt no need to control every aspect of every citizen's life, revolutionary communist regimes created refugees by the millions. Kirkpatrick, later a U.S. ambassador the United Nations, argued that was because such governments "claim jurisdiction over the whole life of the society and make demands for change that so violate internalized values and habits that inhabitants flee." Those that did not flee suffered even more: In 1999, a number of French authors catalogued communism's death toll: nearly 100 million people. Unlike the iron fist of communism, capitalism's incidents of harm (recall the mugging in Central Park) result not from government oppression but from the nature of freedom itself. Misguided newspaper columns notwithstanding, in theory, practice and historical record, there's no comparison between capitalism and communism. Mark Milke is a Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute.

Sometimes finding names are challenging but she though “Addie” - after her BFF would be a good choice. We have quite a few cows that are getting pretty close now and so the fun begins of picking and choosing the right ones to bring in. If the weather stays decent - it isn’t quite so stressful at least. These first 3 calves have been perfect heifer birth weights of 60, 65 and 70 lbs. They do seem quite tiny but alive and healthy is the best part! Maddie and Marlee were so busy over the weekend with their hockey tournament that they didn’t get out until late Sunday. They were so excited to see their babies and check on who is getting close! My vet cousin’s kids were spending the week with their grandparents and were pleased to visit the calves as well. Callen and Charlie spent some time with Roxee and I so it was a pretty fun week! Bernice, the secretary/treasurer is looking for applications for the upcoming season at the Rainy River Community Pasture. Applications are due by March 1st. Last season’s producers are given preference. If you would like an application or more information get in touch with Bernice at 807-275-5730. Sadly our community had to say good-bye to 2 young people over the weekend. Sympathy is extended to the Bonot Family and the Krahn Family. The Rainy River District 4-H Association held their annual meeting on Friday night. Nadine Gerula (President), Krista Williams (Vice), Wanda Heyens (Secretary) & Kim Desserre (Treasurer). Thanks for taking on these roles and keeping 4-H alive and well in our district. We are always open to new volunteers and members -and remember you don’t need to live on a farm to join and be involved with this great program! The Bliss family was pretty busy this weekend with the girls home hockey tournament. Grandma and Grandpa are absolutely loving hockey life once again. Callen and Charlie were able to come and enjoy one of the games and when their grandma asked “how was hockey?” Charlie’s response was “go Piper go!” Congratulations to the Tim Horton’s girls (Novice) who won the tournament in overtime. It was a very close, exciting game! Grandma Bliss was freaking out the game would end up in a shoot out! It was awesome that the opposing team was the other Novice Team from Fort Frances! Good work to the entire bunch of hockey players and of course the organizers. I heard their Sop-Hop dance was perfect!

I read an interesting fact the other day - “The average farmer gets 584 hours less sleep per year than the average person!” Fort Frances man fined a total of $4,600 for unlawfully hunting moose John Koles pleaded guilty and was fined $3,500 for hunting moose without a licence and $1,100 for obstructing a conservation officer. He is not allowed to hunt in Ontario for two years. Court heard that on November 1, 2014, a conservation officer responded to a complaint of an abandoned moose near Pearson Road in Farrington Township, east of Fort Frances. When the officer contacted Koles and another individual with a bull moose in the area, Koles said that the other individual killed the moose under the authority of treaty rights. Upon investigation, the officer determined that Koles shot the moose earlier that day without a licence. Koles did not check or field dress the carcass, but immediately left and returned about six hours later with the individual who planned to claim it. The moose had partially spoiled and was seized and forfeited to the Crown. An all-terrain vehicle, trailer and firearm were also seized and will be returned upon payment of fines. Justice of the Peace Marcel Donio heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Atikokan, on January 29, 2015.

"Ojibwe language is not just for Native people; it's part of Canada's heritage" said Jones. How many times have people passed by Native communities and had no idea what its name meant? A grasp of the Ojibwe language would tell a person much more than just how to pronounce words. That's what makes it so interesting. Two professors from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education attended the class. Dr. Bev Caswell and Dr. Joan Moss are exploring how to make mathematics more dynamic for young students. They've found a powerful link in the descriptive nature of Ojibwe. The reason? 80% of Ojibwe's vocabulary are verbs. This means that words are self defining. For instance, the words 'blueberry pie' translate into one giant word. The letters string together to explain the cooking process: blueberries heated to a jam like substance layered between bread. You can see it now, can't you? Ojibwe language can't help but plant an image in your mind. Jones calls it your brain's"Windows Media Player".
