Pelican Falls students gettaste of modelling

Michael PelhamSTAFF WRITER

MYRA BEARDY isn�tsure if modelling isher thing, but she at

least got a sample of the experi-ence when a retail store camescouting for models for anupcoming catalogue. The storeuses customers in its pages tostay in touch with their con-sumer.

Northern Selections cata-logue chose Pelican Falls FirstNations High School as the lo-cation for their Fall and WinterNorthern Selections edition,scheduled to come out at theend of July. The Northern alsodonated $1000 that will be used


THE Sioux LookoutFinance Committeepresented the 2004 oper-

ating budget to the public May 6at the Recreation Centre.

Councillor Joe Carbone, whosits on the FinanceCommittee, ex-plained that thiscouncil wanted toexamine and reor-ganize the budget inorder to achieve thearduous task of bal-ancing it. He saidpublic consultationwill be done for the2005 operatingbudget, and that this meetingwas to explain how councilmanaged to take care of a

Council explains budget$1.3 million deficit.

�This budget was not done in aconsultative manner, and the rea-son why we chose not to do that isbecause we wanted to re-evaluateand reorganize the structure ofthe budget. We will be consultingin the future with this community.We just needed to get this all

settled for our selffirst.�

One member of thepublic at the meeting,Lou Morgan, hadsome questions forcouncil about thingsthat affect the budgetsuch as paying forgarbage collectionand residential devel-opment.

�It�s good to understand theenvironment. There was lots of

for a school trip.The catalog designers held

auditions at the school May 6,and began photographing thestudents decked out in the latestmerchandise. The Northern hasfurniture and retail stores in FirstNation communities through-out Canada, and has beentraveling to Aboriginal com-munities to select models forthe past four years.

Myra Beardy was one of thestudents who posed for the cam-era and will be in the upcomingcatalogue.

�I wanted to do this becauseit�s the Selections catalogue,and I usually order from theSelections catalogue,� Beardysaid. �I though it would be neat

to try out for Selections. It wasfun.�

That�s the kind of input Cata-logue Manager Cindy Davidsonis looking for. She said thesephoto shoots are important tonot only get a better feel for thecommunities they are operat-ing in, but also to gather infor-mation about who is buyingtheir products, the age and pref-erences of buyers, and otherimportant marketing informa-tion.

�We do it in part because weare trying to understand ourmarket,� Davidson explained inthe gymnasium of the school,where the shoot was taking place.�This type of customer is chang-ing. At this age they are becom-ing more and more educated.

May is Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Quick Facts: SEXUAL ASSAULT

� Sexual assault is any unwanted, forced or coerced sexualcontact including: kissing, touching, vaginal, anal, or oralintercourse, and incest.

� Anyone can be a victim of sexual assault. Victims are notchosen for their attractiveness, appearance or behaviour.They are selected for their vulnerability.

� Sexual assault is never the victim�s fault. NO ONE ever�asks for� or deserves to be sexually assaulted. Regard-less of the circumstances, the attacker always has thechoice to not commit the crime.

� Sexual assault is a crime of power and control, where sexis the weapon.

� Sexual assault is a crime in Canada, regardless of therelationship between the survivor and perpetrator. Forcedsexual activity between friends, partners, spouses, datesand acquaintances is a sexual assault, and a crime.

� It can be difficult to heal from a sexual assault. Survivorsneed someone they trust to share their feelings with.

The SiouxLookout District MasterAngler Release Awardsprogram is a conservation-based catch and releaseprogram, and the MasterAngler Committee wantsto remind fishers this yearabout the program. Theirgoal is to ensure that the

Are you a Master Angler?Sioux Lookout districtcontinues to provideexcellent angling experi-ences in both quality andquantity for years to comewhile sustaining the fishresources.

Anglers are rewarded forcatching big fish and thenreleasing them back intothe lake. It entitles anglersfishing in the Sioux Look-out district to participate.Non-resident fishers mustbe staying or residing at a

Sioux Lookout or Hudsonbased establishment to beeligible. There are five fishspecies with qualifyingsizes that earn anglers anemblem for each fish theyhave caught and then re-leased.

AN EVENT that isgetting biggerevery year and

growing in popularityamong students, PelicanFalls First Nations HighSchool held the FourthAnnual First Nations Gath-ering Apr. 30 - May 2.

Pelican Falls teacherDarren Lentz said the addi-tion of an Education DayApr. 30 brought in otherSioux Lookout schools toshare in traditional FirstNation teachings and cul-ture.

Queen Elizabeth DistrictHigh School and HudsonPublic School took part inthe Education Day, with

Over 1000 guests attend cultural gatheringworkshops on First Nationactivities from snowshoemaking to drumming.

�Some of our studentsare going to Pelican Fallsnext year, so we though itwould be a good orienta-tion for those students,�said Hudson SchoolPrincipal Chris Conquer.�For those not going toPelican Falls next year, wethought it would be goodfor them to get an idea ofthe programs and otherthings offered at the school.It facilitates good rela-tions.�

Harvesting wild rice,canoe making, and archerywere other activities oneducation day. On Satur-day, the school also hosteda Pow Wow and a feast.

�It was overwhelming.The attendance was great,�said Lentz, who helped or-ganize the event, mention-ing that 30 Queen Eliza-beth students and 20 Hud-son students were present,as well as guests fromThunder Bay and Winni-peg.

Two staff and ten stu-dents were on the commit-tee that put the activitiestogether. Originally startedat the school to promoteculture and traditionalteachings to students atPelican Falls, Lentz saidthe event has grown eachyear, with this year bring-ing in about a thousandpeople.

�The students reallywanted to share with other

people,� Lentz said.Lentz also said that a lot

of effort was put into rais-ing money for the event,which cost a total of about$8000.

�It takes a lot offundraising efforts,� Lentzpointed out.

He added that more Peli-can students showed en-thusiasm for the gatheringand took part in the danc-ing. He attributed this to agrowing interest in tradi-tional culture.

�We had 18 drums thisyear, and more dancers,�he said. �It�s a time theschool can showcase theirculture and identity. Asan elder said, it presentsthe people in a positivelight.�

Editorial

Riding a bicycle on the sidewalks of town is a safety hazard.It�s also illegal.

What will it take to convince riders, and sometimes theirparents, to ride safely, courteously and properly? Already thisspring our office has had numerous calls to complain about nearaccidents between bicycles and pedestrians on the sidewalks inour downtown.

Most frustrating for many citizens, a great number ofwhom are seniors, is the seeming unwillingness of ourMunicipal officials and the OPP to tackle what is recognized as

Bikes on the sidewalksa serious problem.

The problem has been noted for many years. Nothing much hasbeen done about it. And like all problems swept under the carpet,and all laws flaunted continuously, they soon lose all relevance.They�re ignored.

It�s time for Sioux Lookout Council and the OPP to put an endto the horror of bicycle riders running rampant on our sidewalks.

It should be done immediately.For those riders who feel they just have to use the sidewalk the

answer is simple. Walk your bike when you�re on the sidewalk.

Keep First Response inHudson

I am writing this letter toexpress my concerns aboutthe withdrawal of Hud-son�s First Response Team.

I am very worried aboutshutting this service down.In fact, I am very upset. Ineeded their assistance andhad to call on them severaltimes, and in minutes theyarrived with oxygen, andother necessary devices.

The crew, especially Mr.Donald Fenelon, proved tobe very efficient, reassur-ing and helpful.

Hudson�s First Re-sponse Team was some-thing I could count on!

As I live in Hudson, itwould take an ambulance �if available � from SiouxLookout, 25 minutes to gethere. If one is seriously indistress, help is needed atonce. I�ve been there�

Unfortunately, we do nothave all the available serv-ices that Sioux Lookoutpeople enjoy. We pay ourtaxes like everyone else,but at times I feel that Hud-son is being treated as astepchild.

Removing the First Re-sponse service, which isstaffed by volunteers,would be a terrible disserv-ice to Hudson people who

require instant help. I im-plore council members tomake a genuine effort tofind a way to ensure thatthe First Response Teamcontinues their work inHudson.

Thank you.Irene Ciurko

AFTER supper lastnight Cruizer andI headed out to the

trail for our nightly saun-ter. Low and behold, earth-worms were everywhere.Now don�t ask me why,but I have trouble walkingpast these little creatures �or on top of them � so wespent an hour picking upthese wriggling, stickyworms thinking we were,in fact, doing Mother Na-ture a favour. Two boysstopped their bike ride tohelp (thanks guys) and to-gether I figure we saved

about 250 earth worms. Ourwalk however, did not turnout to be very good exer-cise as we only got about500 feet � Cruizer was cer-tainly not feeling as justi-fied as I was in this lapse ofroutine.

I thought about whysome people can walk bythe worms and some, likeI, cannot. I wondered if ithad anything to do with thelong ingrained heritage wehold inside us that some-times � we might not evenknow is there.

I�m of Irish descent (that

explains the temper and thesense of humour all at once)and I am told that the Irishhad great respect for all oftheir animals. You see theIrish went through a fam-ine the likes of which mostof us cannot even fathom.It was the third worst fam-ine in recorded history �over four million peopledied and it took place overa five-year period begin-ning in 1845.

Many who could, emi-grated - others were evictedfrom their land - manystarved. Of the ones whoemigrated � you can betthe lesson that was learnedwas one of those kinds oflessons that stay with a fam-ily for generations to come.Although the famine in Ire-land was vegetable oriented

- initially caused by a po-tato blight - I think livingthrough that kind of horrorteaches a great respect forall things living - includingearth worms. As childrenat the ranch, we learnedvery quickly that what wekilled � we ate; and heavenhelp the person who wastedfood. Mind you, it took Dada while to discover Leannewas putting her peas downthe hot air register.

Tom Gordon came toGraham about 1918 fromIreland. He had marriedEmily Clace (England) inWinnipeg (Transcona) andI guess it must have beentrue love. History tells usthe English and the Irishwere not exactly kissin�cousins back then.

They moved into a large

house on Lake Street fac-ing Pelican Bay � whereMonica Ticino�s house isnow. They had a huge gar-den and many animals tohelp offset the purchasesthat had to be made fromthe grocery store. Theseanimals had full run of theyard � and the slop bucketwas dumped right out thefront door where the pigsand goats would come forthe morning meal. Thechickens wandered aboutin between everyone else �and occasionally could befound in the house peckingup the crumbs under thekitchen table. Nothing waswasted, it was simply recy-cled.

Your Perspective

Jasper Anderson, parentStart giving out fines for

people riding on the sidewalk onFront Street, and have moresigns.

Question of the week:A town bylaw prohibits riding bicycles on sidewalks. How can we achieve compliance?

Don�t keep those opinions to yourself! Let us know Your Perspective!

Danielle Binguis, parentPut up more signs, or have

more bike trails.

Anthony McNamee, projectdirector

More signage is one way, butalso educating people about whatthe issue is, maybe through thenewspaper.

Raili Perlin, cashier (withdaughter Kylie)

I would say there should bepolice officers enforcing thebylaw more. They should be theones responsible for it.

financial pressure,�Carbone said about the dif-ficulties of forming thisbudget.

He pointed out that mostmunicipalities were look-ing at double digit propertytax increases. Sioux Look-out�s increase was 11 percent.

The process in formingthis year�s budget includedasking the managers of alldepartments to evaluatewhat services could be cutand what the impact wouldbe on the town. The firstround of meetings includedasking managers wheresavings could be found. Forinstance they discoveredsome user fees that had notbeen increased for a longtime. They also examinedwhat services could be of-fered at cost recovery be-fore identifying what serv-ices may need to be cut.

After still having abudget shortfall of$795,000, which wouldhave meant a tax increaseof 18 per cent, managers

and finance committee staffwent back to the table andfound a way to reduce thedeficit.

Carbone also broughtnews that the educationportion of the tax bill hasdecreased. This means thata home assessed at$100,000 would pay anextra $6.50 a month insteadof an extra $10, which wasthe amount when the oper-ating budget was passed atlast month�s council meet-ing. The education portion

of the tax bill was not avail-able then.

Director of Finance HerbZettel explained that the11 per cent increase was tocover a $450,000 deficit,and also pointed out thatmuch of that deficit wasdue to a five per cent in-crease in policing costs, a36 per cent increase inNorthwestern Health Unitcosts and also a raise incontribution to PinecrestHome for the Aged.

�That�s how we ended

We have to tap into theworld out there.�

During the photo ses-sion, which started at fourp.m. Friday and went untilnine p.m. and into the nextday, Davidson carried avideo camera to interviewthe people involved in theshoot, asking them abouttheir experience, what they

up getting an 11 percentincrease in tax revenue,�Zettel said. �We didn�t justpick a number out of theair.�

Zettel said the town wassuccessful in being able tokeep the services the townwanted to provide.

�We cut to the bone inorder to keep providing theservices we wanted,� hesaid. �We were really try-ing very hard to keep effi-cient and also keep taxesdown.�

ing the proposed areas forreview and acceptance bythe Municipality.

The opportunities andconstraints associated witheach area were also identi-fied.

In the next phase of thestudy preliminary lot andservicing plans will be de-veloped and the CrownLand Release Process willbe detailed into a step-by-step process for the releaseof the lands for the speci-fied development areas.

Class C cost estimatesassociated with the devel-opment of each site will beidentified in order to workfurther toward a prioritizeddevelopment plan that willenable the Municipality toselect the most cost effec-tive approach to future resi-dential subdivision devel-opment.

Phase two of the study isexpected to take two to fourmonths to complete.

Project Team memberand Hudson resident BradHyslop commented, �Ihave been involved withpursuing land release inHudson since 1989. Landrelease in Hudson is criti-cal. Hudson has been toolong without land, since1980, 24 years.�

He added that housing iscritical to keeping peopleworking and living in thecommunity.

He said of the HudsonLand Development Study,�It will get us closer (to therelease of Crown land fordevelopment). This movesus forward and it gives usan idea of how many lotscan fit into a proposed areaand at what cost.�

He added that it will beup to Municipal Council todecide on what lots to moveforward with once the studyhas been completed.

Florence Bailey, North-ern Development Officerwith the Ministry of North-ern Development andMines, commented, �I ama resident of Hudson andwant to see land releasedand was approached by theMunicipality (to join theProject Team).�

Bailey said, �Economicdevelopment is a mandate

of the Ministry. The lotcreation would open upeconomic developmentopportunities for the mu-nicipality.�

Bailey said the ProjectTeam oversees the projectto make sure the contractoris conforming to the termsof reference of the study.

She added it is also thejob of the Project Team toanswer questions of theconsultant and update theMunicipality on theprogress of the study.

Keewatin-Aski, contrac-tor of the project, carries outthe phases of the project andreports to the project teamthroughout the process.

Bailey said of makingan open house part of theprocess, �I think it is im-portant the community hasinput into the project and itis important the commu-nity buys into the projectand the representation heretoday seemed receptive tothe project idea and opti-mistic about the future de-velopment of Hudson.�

She added, �It seemedlike the sites that most peo-ple were interested in see-ing developed were the lakeview property (site one)and lakefront property(sites five and six).�

She commented of thosesites, �I think they will bethe more expensive prop-erties to develop in termsof taxation and purchaseprice.�

Bailey said she noticedthe majority of people whoattended the open housewere from Hudson.

�I spoke to just abouteverybody who camethrough the door and justabout everybody had posi-tive comments about theproposed sites and the fur-ther development of Hud-son.�

Doug Lawrance, ProjectManager for Keewatin-Aski, commented, �Thesethings are not usuallyhighly attended but Ithought turnout was good.�

He added that the pur-pose of the open house wasto make sure the public wasbrought up to date on whatis happening.

�I would say there wasnobody there who was

against it (the study),� hesaid.

Hyslop said of the openhouse, �I think it went goodas far as open houses go.We had about 30 peopleshow up.�

He said there was a com-mon theme among peoplewho talked to him. �Peoplewere asking how much arelots going to be and whenare they going to be avail-able?�

Information he saidwould not be available un-til after the study was fin-ished and would dependupon the release of the landchosen.

Of the study he said, �Idon�t think we had anyonecome out that was opposedto it.�

He added, �I am lookingforward to continuing theprocess of the study.�

He also mentioned thatduring the open housemany people who were in-terested in different areasapproached him.

�I think that lakeshoreproperty would be highlymarketable, but other peo-ple wanted more afford-able land,� he commented.

He also commented thatthe majority of the peoplewho came to the open housewere from Hudson.

Hudson resident ShirleyBowman said she attendedthe open house because, �Iwanted to see the proposeddevelopment areas and asksome questions.�

She added that shethought the members of theProject Team and membersof Keewatin-Aski she spokewith were very helpful.

Wally Glena, who cur-rently resides in SiouxLookout, was a resident ofHudson from 1948 to 1980.He said, �I thought it fi-nally gave some input andan idea for expansion ofsome of the properties inHudson and around SiouxLookout.�

He said of the people hespoke with at the openhouse, �They were veryknowledgeable and help-ful and their informationwas very informative.�

Glena commented,�Hudson will most cer-tainly not be able to growwithout more land, andmore families be able tomove in.�

He said he attended theopen house because, �Ihave always been inter-ested in Hudson. I used tobe president of the Cham-ber of Commerce in Hud-son and managed the Hud-son�s Bay store.

�I have always felt thathaving raised a family thereit is one of the best commu-nities to raise children inand I like to keep in touchwith what is taking placethere.�

Debra Bray, who alsocurrently lives in SiouxLookout but once lived inHudson, said of the openhouse, �I thought it wasgreat. I think it is some-thing that Hudson residentshave been waiting for for along time, to get some landopened up and I don�t thinkthere is any question thatpeople want this.�

She said she attended theopen house for informa-tion, adding, �I would con-sider moving back to Hud-son if suitable land openedup.�

Ultimately it will be theMinistry of Natural Re-sources who will decidewhether to release land fordevelopment.

Her brother(William) emigrated withhis wife (Winnie) and the(then) five children tenyears later in 1928.

Tom is remembered as avery nice man.

Storiesin stone

by Laura Sayers

Emily had one daughterwho remained in England.They adopted anotherchild, Tom Russell, andraised him as their own. Hemust have had a blast chas-ing the chickens around allover the yard and trying toride the pig (it is not as easyas it sounds!).

Emily passed away in1962 just three days beforeher brother Bill. She had,though, won the �oldestperson in town� contest atthe Seniors Centre for afew years. She was 89 whenshe died. In 1963, Tom alsopassed away.

So what does this haveto do with worms? Wellnothing really, but the par-allel of Tom being Irishand my dad being Irish �Tom letting the animalshave the run of the placeand my dad trying to bathethe pigs so they look prettyfor the fair � or the minkkits running around the liv-ing room or squeaking inmy Mom�s bra � me andthe worms - well, it justseemed very... Irish.

On the front lines of health carewomen and men in thenursing profession arerecognized for theirdedication to the job, andtheir success and accom-plishments. The theme thisyear is Knowledge andCommitment at Work.

A luncheon this weekwill honour nurses for theirdedication to the job. It issponsored by the Regis-tered Nurses Associationof Ontario (RNAO), whichparticipates in Sioux Look-out in this celebration.

For Betty Schallhorne,nursing has been her mis-sion in life, which startedin her homeland of Ger-many. There, she knew itwas her path to work inremote areas to providehealth support to theresidents. As a staff mem-ber at a Bible school in thatcountry she realized hercalling. She became aregistered nurse in Canadain 1982, and moved tonorthern Ontario in1984, her intended goal.

Now she is located at thenursing station inKasabonika First Nation,where she is fulfilling hermission.

�I�ve been with the mis-sion for a long time,�Schallhorne said. �I alwaysfelt my place was in thenorth. I didn�t know hownorth and what I would bedoing. I just took it onestep at a time. When I didn�tsee a barrier, I went for-ward. I looked at nursing

Continued from page 8with my end purpose ofgoing north.�

A nurse in Germany, shehad to work for two yearsin Canada to become a reg-istered nurse here. Shelived in Huntsville and meta physician who hadworked in northern com-munities and told her aboutthe experience.

�It was like a mosaicpuzzle. Things just all cametogether,� Schallhornesaid. �Looking back, all thethings I went through pre-pared me to stick it out. It�snot just the skills you needto work in the north. Youneed the life experience aswell.�

Schallhorne said that shehas seen many changes innursing over the years, in-cluding the expectations ofthe employer and respon-sibilities of nurses. How-ever, she said the funda-mentals of nursing are stillthe same.

�Colds, chest infections,stomach flu, they all stillget treated the same,� shesaid.

A person doesn�t needto be at the start of theiradulthood to get into nurs-ing, Schallhorne explained,pointing out that she was34 when she became anurse. On the contrary,someone with extra lifeexperience, such as the ex-perience of raising a fam-ily, can use that to theirbenefit in nursing.

�I would tell someonejust getting into nursingwho has raised a family

that they�re qualified,� shesaid. �You know how todeal with conflict. Youknow how to wipe nosesand bums. Life experienceis worth more than medicalknow-how that you find inmedical books.�

Lyn Button has wornmany hats as a nurse andcan attest that there aremany jobs within the pro-fession which an individualcan take on. Born and raisedin Sioux Lookout, Buttonhas been a nurse since1974 and came back towork in Sioux Lookout in1991 for Health Canada.Now she is in an executiveposition, responsible for thenursing stations in north-ern First Nation communi-ties.

�There are lots of differ-ent kinds of jobs as a nurse,�Button said. �That�s whatgives me enthusiasm forthe job everyday.�

According to RNAO, thenurse to patient ratio isdropping. By 2015 as manyas 40,000 nurses will beretired in the province, andas many as 13,000 could beretired as early as 2005.Button said one reason forthe decline could be thatmore careers have openedup to women in recenttimes.

�I think it�s really im-portant to get the messageto young people that this isstill a good profession,�Button said, pointingout that more men are nowpursuing nursing as acareer, and that thispopulation base could be

tapped into.�We have to let people

know how much opportu-nity there is as a nurse,�said Button. She went onto say that current nursescould spend time promot-ing this by educating thepublic. �That�s certainly ajob for us nurses now.�

In recent years nurseshave expanded into moreareas of the community,and aren�t confined to hos-pitals and public healthcare, Button said.

�You see nurses in thehomeless field, with socialservice agencies,� she said.�There are more occupa-tional health roles, things Ididn�t see as possible rolesfor a nurse when I gradu-ated.�

Advice Button saidshe�d offer to a youngnurse would be to come toa small community likeSioux Lookout to get ex-perience.

�One of the best thingsyou can do for your

career is come to a smallcommunity,� Button said.�You have a chance to tryvaried roles, and developreally strong basics for acareer. Also, don�t limityourself to taking on onlyone role. Try all kinds ofdifferent roles in the pro-fession.�

Many people go intonursing to help the less for-tunate, Button said, addingthat the rural north doeshave higher mortality ratesand health issues that wouldgive a new nurse a uniqueexperience.

�People in rural Ontarioare sicker,� Button said,indicating statistics thatshow a higher mortalityrate. �It is really a chanceto use their skill and knowl-edge. Sioux Lookout has alot to offer.�

Button gives presenta-tions on nursing to inter-ested organizations orgroups, including schools.Anyone interested can con-tact her at 737-5852.

THE STEALTHYcarnivore stoodpoised to spring as

QEDHS outdoor education class enjoyed time at Cedar Bayhe watched the herbivore.

Then, when the momentwas right, he sprang awayinto the bush to make hiskill.

Last Thursday 11 stu-

dents from Queen Eliza-beth District High School�soutdoor education classtook part in survival gamesat Cedar Bay.

The students broke intotwo groups, to set upgames, coming togetheragain to play each game asa group.

Outdoor Education stu-dent Jeremiah Kimball saidstudents were given an out-line of the rules for the sur-vival games and then hadto come up with their ownversions of the game.

While playing thegames, the students tookon the roles of differentthings in nature such asherbivores, carnivores,omnivores, disease and ahuman hunter.

The students only had alimited number of life cardsand had to try to avoid be-ing eaten, shot by thehunter, or succumb to dis-ease.

During the game stu-dents collected cards suchas food and water, whichthey could use to purchaseadditional lives.

The previous day out-door education studentstook part in orienteering atCedar Bay.

Kimball said students

were broken into groups oftwo or three. He said eachgroup set up an orienteer-ing course and each grouptried each others� courses.

Along the courses weresymbols with bearings onthem. To navigate thecourse students used a com-pass to follow each bearingto the next one until theyhad completed the circuit.

�I thought it was a blast,�said Ashley Zaffino. �It isthe best class I have evertaken,� she added.

�It gave us an insightinto how ecosystemswork,� Kimball said of thesurvival games. �It wasnice to get away from theschool and get into nature,�he added. �And that shouldbe the point of outdoor ed.�

Bob Wood said, �I hadno idea how to work acompass.�

He added of the survivalgames he played, �It kindof gives you a real insightinto what it is like to be ananimal and how the foodchain works.�

Jessica Trout com-mented, �I really liked it alot and it was fun.�

She said she had doneorienteering and playedsurvival games before,�But it was fun to do it withpeople I had never done itwith before.�

�I learned about the foodpyramid. I was a herbivore

and had to run away fromeveryone else,� RobertBurke commented.

He said, �My time spentat Cedar Bay was a greatlearning experience and Igot to learn the Cedar Bayarea in detail.�

Brad Clara said of histime at Cedar Bay, �It wasfun and a great experience.�

He added that he likedplaying the part of a her-bivore and sneaking awayfrom everyone.

Clara commented thatplaying the survival gameand taking on the role of aherbivore helped him toidentify with herbivores, al-ways having to be vigilant.

He added that he wouldlike to go back to CedarBay for more classes there.

�I think it�s wonderfulto have a variety of groups

using the centre and youcould tell the students lovedexploring the area,� saidFriends of Cedar Bay ChairBeth Dasno who helped outwith the survival games onMay 6.

�Ideally I would like tosee the outdoor ed classrunning mainly out of Ce-dar Bay,� she commented.

Friends of Cedar Baymember Matt Culhamhelped out with the orien-teering activities.

�It would be good tohave permanent courses setup there and it is cool thatthe high school is using it(Cedar Bay) like that,�Culham said.

It rained on May 5, butCulham said, �The kidscame back looking wet andmuddy, but with smiles andI think they had a blast.�

MEOW Boys andGirls! Attimcame across a

question that he did nothave a clue how to answerso he called on me to fill infor him this week.

The question came fromFred, 18, from QEDHS.

He is wondering, “Docats really land on their feetall the time?”

Well Fred, we do.As you sure know

everything in nature has itspurpose. (Except for yourappendix.) And so does ourability to land on our feet ifwe happen to fall. You see,although we are excellentclimbers, we dooccasionally fall, and whenthis happens a special“righting reflex” goes into

instant operation. Withoutthis we could easily breakour back.

As we start to fall, withour body upside down, anautomatic twisting reactionbegins at the head end ofthe body. The head rotatesfirst, until it is upright, thenthe front legs are broughtup close to the face, readyto protect it from impact.Next, the upper part of thespine is twisted, bringingthe front half of the bodyaround in line with thehead. Then, the hind legsare bent up, so that all fourlimbs are now ready totouch down and, as thishappens, we twist the rearhalf of our body around tocatch up with the front.Finally, as we are about to

make contact, we stretchall four legs out toward theground and arch our back,as a way of reducing theforce of the impact.

While this bodytwisting is taking place, thestiffened tail is rotating likea propeller, acting as acounterbalancing device.All this occurs in a fractionof a second and you hu-mans need a slow-motionfilm to analyze these rapidstages of the righting re-sponse.

“Yeah right,” I hear yousaying, “and what aboutMax. He has no tail. Howdoes he counterbalance?”

First of all, it is not Max,it is Manx. And you areright. He has no tail. Let’sjust say it is a little moredifficult for him to turn inmidair in a fraction of asecond. He usually takes alittle longer. Say, two frac-tions of a second. But donot think for a second thatit is not fun to have Manxas your pet. Oh no! Manx

are fun. They are very play-ful cats as a rule. They canjump higher than anyonecould imagine, and it is notunusual to find them perch-ing on the highest point inany room. They have ex-tremely powerful hind legs.It has been stated by oneManx owner that “Manxare the feline sport cars ofthe cat world with theiracceleration and quickturns.” Manx exhibit manydog-like characteristicssuch as retrieving (sorryAttim) and burying theirtoys. They will either beknown as a “one personcat” or the “family cat.”However, once they bondwith someone, it is diffi-cult for many Manx to behappy in a different home.

You can e-mail yourquestions for Attim andPuchi tou n d e r s t a n d i n g d o g [email protected], or drop themoff at Critter Cuts & Huts.

MARK J. SCHAUBSolicitor for the Estate Trustee


A SIOUX Lookoutbusiness and theorganizer of

Snowarama in Sioux Look-out were both honoured bythe Easter Seal Society onApril 26.

Tom Nebbs, Owner ofT. Nebbs Building Materi-als LTD (Home Hardware)was presented with aGolden Egg Award byShirley Hanslip, EasterSeal Society District Man-ager for Dryden, Kenoraand Rainy River Districts,for his business’s partici-pation in the society’s Pa-per Egg Campaign.

During the campaign,which ran from March 19to April 11, 188 eggs weresold by Home Hardware,raising $376 for the EasterSeal Society.

While the Paper EggCampaign ran, all shopperswho donated $2 to EasterSeals were given paper eggswith their names inscribed.The eggs were then dis-played in the business’s win-dow, showing the/ shopper’ssupport for the society.

Hanslip said the cam-paign is meant to raisemoney and awareness forEaster Seals.

During the campaign,participating businesses inNorthwestern Ontario, in-cluding Thunder Bay, weredivided into one of threecategories: small business,medium business or largebusiness.

T. Nebbs Building Ma-terials LTD (Home Hard-ware) in Sioux Lookout wasrecognized as the winner inthe small business category.

The medium businesswinner was the SAANStore in Red Lake and thelarge business winner wasWal-Mart in Thunder Bay.

Easter Seal Society recognizes localman and Sioux Lookout business

Nebbs said his businesswas approached by the so-ciety to participate in thePaper Egg Campaign.

He said this was the firstyear his business had par-ticipated in the campaign.

Nebbs commented thathe was not surprised by howwell the campaign ran in hisstore, “I think the cashiersget very energized aboutthings like this and wentover and above on this.”

He said he is lookingforward to supporting thesociety next year.

Of the work done by thesociety, Nebbs said, “I thinkit is so necessary in this dayand age with the state ofhealthcare and this is the onlyway some kids will ever get

the services they need.”Dr. Arvid Hakala, organ-

izer of Snowarama in SiouxLookout, was presented aclock with an enscribedplate to recognize hissupport of the society.

“I’ve been organizingSnowarama in Sioux Look-out for at least 15 years,”Hakala said.

“I am a snowmobile en-thusiast. I went to a fewSnowaramas in Ignace.There were none in SiouxLookout at that time, so Idecided we should haveone,” he added.

“It feels good to be rec-ognized,” Hakala said. “It’snot something I mind do-ing.”

Seventeen riders took

part in this year’sSnowarama in Sioux Look-out. They raised over $5000.

When asked about theclock with the plate,Hanslip said, “I just thoughtit would be something nicehe could display.

“I thought it would benice for the community toknow what he does and howmuch we appreciate every-thing he has done for thesociety for helping childrenwith physical disabilities.”

May is Sexual Assault Awareness Month

QUICK FACTS: SEXUAL ASSAULT

No one asks to be raped, even if:• You feel she/he is teasing you• You think “no” means “yes”• You have had sex with her/him before• You have paid for dinner or given him/her expensive gifts• You think she/he enjoys being forced or persuaded to have sex• She/he is under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Sexual assault is a violent crime and a terrifying experience. As with any crime, no twosurvivors will react the same way or have the same experience, because sexual assaultaffects everyone differently. There is no doubt though that the effects of sexual assault ona survivior’s mental health and well-being can be tremendous.

Remember that you are not alone.For more information, please call Ah-shawah-bin Sioux Lookout/Lac Seul

number just because somepeople might not be able tomake it to certain games,”she said.

“I am pretty surprised,”Pettit said of the number ofwomen who have signedup for the team sinceMarch.

“I thought eventually wewould have that many peo-

ple, but I didn’t expect thesign up to go so well ini-tially,” she added.

She mentioned the teamis still looking for a coachand won’t likely know whatice time at the Sioux Look-out Memorial Arena mightbe available for them untilafter an ice users meetingat the Rec Centre takesplace.

Pettit mentioned that theteam will probably playDryden and Ignacethroughout the season.

“There is going to be awomens hockey camp inIgnace on July 9 and 10,”Pettit said. She is hoping toget more information onthe camp so she can con-tact the women who signedup for the team to find outif any would be interestedin participating.

Pettit also commentedthat she would be puttinganother sign up sheet forthe team at the Rec Centrejust before the ice is putback in.
