A name and logo have been selected for the Sioux Lookout First

Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA) hostel.

More than 35 entries were submitted in the contest for a name and a logo for the new hostel building located beside the Meno Ya Win Health Centre.

The SLFNHA board of directors selected three logo designs, then presented them to the Sioux Lookout Zone Chiefs at the SLFNHA Annual General Meeting in September.

“We wanted to ensure the name of the hostel was something that the Chiefs felt

refl ected their communities and our services,” said Darryl Quedent, Director of Client Services at SLFNHA.

The Chiefs selected a combination of name ideas to create the new name: Jeremiah McKay Kabayshewekamik.

“Jeremiah McKay was a respected Elder who contributed to health services over the years, including his role on the Chiefs Committee on Health,” Quedent explained. “He was a former Chief of Kasabonika First Nation and he had advocated for health issues throughout his tenure as chief,” Quedent added.

Jeremiah McKay was also one of the Chiefs who sat on the Chiefs negotiating team, who negotiated the Four Party

Sioux Lookout MNR District Planner John Carnochan, who will lead that meeting, agreed with Lago it would be great to have as many people as possible come out and provide input.

Lago said roads such as Burma, Guitar and Idaho could be up for closure and

wants people to attend the February 11 meeting to share how they use the roads.

Carnochan said, “Really, the whole purpose of the presentation for the MNR and the Sustainable Forest Licence are working on the 2011 to 2021 Forest Management Plan for the Lac Seul Forest and because we know that we’re required in this plan to have, what we call road use strategy, for every new and existing road that’s on the landscape, we wanted to have an above and beyond open house.

A group of men from Sioux Lookout is travelling to Haiti

February 27 to help the people of that devastated country.

Merle Burkholder, Clement Cospito, Brian Rae, Chuck Abela, Henry Wall and Henry Schellenberg plan to spent about 10 days in Haiti.

“My family lived down there for a year

Sioux Lookout men journeying to Haitiabout 20 years ago and so I’m in touch with a church there and I go back twice a year to just encourage the church, Son Light Mennonite Church in Cadiac,” Burkholder said.

Burkholder is involved in an economic development project there helping everyday people manage their fi nances.

Originally the group from Sioux Lookout had planned to attend church meetings.

“We had planned to

go before the earthquake happened. Now it’s going to be a different trip than what we had planned,” Burkholder said.

“We’re going to try to get involved in the city, in Port-au-Prince and try to get some of the guys, like Clement who is a paramedic here, helping out in medical clinics and the rest of us will probably help with clean up,” he shared.

Burkholder said he and his group will also be doing what they can

to assist four families who attend Son Light Mennonite Church whose homes were damaged to the point they are unliveable.

They would also like to assist the church in getting food for people as he said there is now a shortage of food in the country and what is available is expensive.

He is looking to purchase medical supplies for people and to help them rebuild and buy food.

Anyone able to help with a donation can do so by contacting Believers Fellowship Church in Sioux Lookout where Burkholder is the Assistant Pastor.

His daughter, Bethanie, has been in Haiti for several years working as a nurse practitioner.

The area where she lives and works was not badly affected by the earthquake.

However, Burkholder said his daughter did journey to Port-au-Prince

after the earthquake to assist medically for a time and reported that she and her co-workers were seeing huge numbers of people every day and they had to work without electricity.

One story she relayed to her father was about a child they treated who had lost her siblings and parents.

Burkholder said it’s amazing how people all around the world have come together to help the Haitian people.

WITH only a few months left until

Queen Elizabeth District High School’s 2010 graduates wave goodbye, the school’s Safe Grad committee is kicking their fundraising into high gear.

“We’ve been fundraising since just before Christmas,” offered Lorenzo Durante, an adult member of the committee.

The latest effort was a spaghetti dinner held February 4 at the Calvary Baptist Church. Organizer Carol Wood said the event pulled in more than $2500, with at least 200 people in attendance.

“It defi nitely was very successful,” she said. “It was a real team effort.”

Safe Grad fundraising with spaghetti dinnerAn auction table

featuring items donated by the community, particularly from families of graduates, spanned one side of the room, while enthusiastic students and organizers served up mouth-watering spaghetti and salad, bussed tables and washed dishes.

“I was really impressed at just how many people got involved,” Wood said. “A few organized the auction. A few organized the spaghetti dinner. Everybody showed up that was expected.”

Durante said the students are taking on an active role in the fundraising and planning process.

“The parents are helping, but the kids do the light work,” he laughed.

Safe Grad is an alcohol

and drug-free celebration for graduating students. It was established at QEDHS in 2003 as a way to discredit the impression that graduation festivities should equate with getting drunk or using drugs.

This year’s event takes place June 25 at the Recreation Centre from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Planned events include a formal dance with a Winter

Wonderland theme, giant infl atable games such as human foosball, a mock casino featuring poker and blackjack tables, a bar serving mocktails and other refreshments, and a wide assortment of food available throughout the night.

To keep the event substance-free, once students enter the venue they cannot leave. If they

do leave, they are not able to return.

In addition to fundraising, Safe Grad is working on fi nding volunteers. Help is needed in setting up, taking down and cleaning up the event, and decorating the Recreation Centre, as well as a need for adults to act as dealers for the casino, chaperones, and

security for the event.“The infl atable games

are pretty heavy,” laughed Wood, saying interested volunteers should contact Lori Durante or Laurel Hakala.

As their next fundraising step, Safe Grad will be operating the food bar at the upcoming Pelican Lake Pond Hockey Tournament February 20 and 21.

Following their noses to the delicious smell of spaghetti, about 200 people packed the Calvary Baptist Church to support Safe Grad 2010.

Local writer weaves tales of Sioux LookoutSitting in a chair before a window presenting a piece of classic Sioux Lookout scenery – the CN rail spanning east and west

along Front Street – Richard Schwindt answers questions thoughtfully, refl ecting on the town surrounding him and the people that fi ll it.

Not always idyllic, but not always unpleasant, he explained in an interview about his latest book that this town has an important connection and history with its people, and makes for good story telling.

“Dreams and Sioux Nights,” a compilation of fi ve short stories, most of which take place in Sioux Lookout, is a book that presents both sides of the community. To portray characters who live here and the town accurately, it’s important that it be done honestly, he said.

“I do view the town through a pretty realistic lens, just because of the work that I do,” said the Community Counseling and Addictions Services social worker. “I view the town as a very complex place. There are terrible things that happen here and there are wonderful things that happen here, and there are beautiful places and ugly places. Sioux Lookout in some ways is very rich that way.”

Previously, Schwindt has published a collection of murder mysteries, also with Sioux Lookout as the central setting, through the Sioux-Hudson Literary Council. This book of fi ction was independently published. Although he’s aware that many people in town enjoy stories that incorporate many familiar local landmarks, like the Sioux Hotel or the Senior Activity Centre, he said the stories aren’t aimed just at the local audience. He is simply writing about what is familiar to him, he said.

“Sioux Lookout is where I’ve lived for 14 years,” Schwindt said. “Most writers draw from experiences and places that are familiar to them. I don’t write so much for Sioux Lookout as I write about it, based on my experiences here.”

In the short story that he chose as the title for the book, Dreams and Sioux Nights, Sioux Lookout is presented from an outsider’s perspective, and Schwindt said it took that honesty to get it right. A young Bay Street stock broker, Devlin Feeny, who has just lost his company millions, gets on the train with the only goal of getting away from his troubles and getting lost in the middle of nowhere. In a drunken state, he fi nds himself at the doorstep of Sioux Lookout.

Schwindt admits that the initial impression given of the town isn’t a fl attering one, but said it was necessary to refl ect the character’s viewpoint and state of mind.

“You have to remember the state of mind of the character, who is emotionally desolated and is going to perceive things in a very gray, depressed manner,” Schwindt explained. “So again, at the beginning of Dreams and Sioux Nights, you’re seeing one character’s point of view, and as a writer, you have to fi nd a way of seeing the different point of view of the different people that you’re writing about.”

Schwindt feels good about the fi nal product because of that frankness, and said when writing there is no other way to do it other than truthfully.

“You have to be absolutely honest and that’s one of the reasons I feel so good about this book,” he said. “Whatever else it may be, to me the book is very emotionally congruent with what I am really feeling. You can’t bullshit people who are going to read this.”

He used an example from another story in the book, Tales of Unbearable Sadness. The main character, 23 year-old Miranda Crane, is killed in a car accident. He said two weeks after he fi nished writing that story, a local woman was killed in a similar incident.

“I thought, if this story isn’t honest and true to myself, it will be very, very insulting to anyone who’s ever lost someone in a car accident,” he said. “So I had to really think and struggle with the story, and the irony is that I think that made it a much stronger story. I think it’s going to ring true for people who read it.”

Thanks, TonyWe all hear about

corruption and dishonesty everyday on the news.

While shopping at Johnnys on Saturday, February 6, I forgot my purse in the shopping cart outside. Thanks to a

stranger, who turned it in to the store, I received it back intact. They told me his name is Tony.

Thank you, Tony, for being so honest. With people like you there is hope for us all.

SIOUX Lookout and Pickle Lake both recorded their warmest

Januarys since 2006.According to

Environment Canada, Sioux Lookout was 3.8 degrees warmer than

normal, while Pickle Lake was 4.1 degrees warmer than normal.

“December was about normal temperature wise and precipitation wise. November was also very warm. It was about seven degrees above normal so it’s really the second month out of three that have been very warm,” stated

Environment Canada Warning Preparedness Meteorologist Peter Kimbell.

“Perhaps it’s compensating for the dismal summer we had last year. July was about three degrees below normal and August was almost a degree below normal as well. July was kind of a write off and August wasn’t a whole lot better.”

January started off cool, warmed up, then fi nished cool again.

Kimbell said it’s all just natural atmospheric variability with the jet stream bringing in the cold as it moves south and temperatures warming up as it head north.

January also brought only about half the normal snowfall this area would normally receive.

As for February, Kimbell said Sioux Lookout and Pickle Lake are experiencing just a bit higher than normal temperatures so far.

His forecast for the next month or so, “A bit cooler than normal, and dryer.”

EVEN in Kansas City there’s no place like our

Star newspaper article highlighted Hallmark Hall of Fame president Brad Moore pointing out skillet-fried fresh walleye as his favourite meal.

“It’s the exact same meal I’ve had a bunch of times near a town called Sioux Lookout in Ontario, Canada,” Moore said in the article. “Over a period of 40 years we would have the same meal on

the shore there. We called it shore lunch. The meal was fresh-filleted walleye that had been swimming in the clear waters a few minutes before.

“We always carried the same big cast iron skillet,” he continued. “Fried them in Crisco and cornmeal and had fresh sliced tomatoes and creamed corn out of a can. Part of it was watching my father fillet those fish.”

Moore said that this tradition started when he was six years old and it’s now about time his grandchildren had the chance to experience this delicious meal.

AFTER two years of being closed, the doors to the Sioux Hotel bar, now a lounge called The Raven’s Nest, will be opening again to receive patrons.

Sioux Hotel to receive liquor licenceNEWS:

THE people have spoken and the Municipality of Sioux Lookout now has the challenge of fi guring out ways to improve services in areas the public

expressed a high level of dissatisfaction over, but that they felt were of great importance.

NEWS:

THE winter landscape below Sioux Mountain serves as a picturesque backdrop for a pit stop on the Ojibway Power Toboggan Club Annual Poker Derby

last Saturday. With $2500 up for grabs in prize money, the event drew roughly 100 riders from as far away as Atikokan, Dryden, and Thunder Bay.

Agreement for the new hospital, and included the new hostel in the bargain.

“Kabayshewekamik,” Quedent said, “means a place to sleep and rest.”

“We want to get this name out to the public,” Quedent shared,

“Basically we want to be able to present that this is a home away from home and we want to welcome every culture to the facility that wishes to use it while they’re here for medical reasons.”

Janae Tinney, who is enrolled in post-secondary education,

designed the winning logo and took home the fi rst prize for the contest, a Toshiba laptop computer.

“I just thought of everything I could in the Ojibway culture that represents healing and tried to incorporate them all together in a circle,” Tinney explained. “I always picture the fi nished image in my head before I start to draw, so there was a lot of thinking involved.”

Quedent explained why Tinney’s logo was selected as the winner. “There were many things

I guess why the logo was chosen. There were certain features of the logo that were taken into account. The circle is a very symbolic feature to Aboriginal culture. It involves the circle of life, as well the four feathers representing the four directions, and represents as well the four physical parts of our life cycle, the soul, the spirit, the mind and the body...”

Second prize in the contest, a digital camera, went to Wava Fox, a trainer at Nodin Child and Family Intervention Services at SLFNHA.

The inspiration for her entry was women who travel to Sioux Lookout to deliver their children.

Third prize, an MP3 player, went to Andra Meekis who is from Deer Lake First Nation and attending Pelican Falls First Nations High School.

The Jeremiah McKay Kabayshewekamik is in its fi nal stages of construction and is geared to open in July 2010.

Quedent said a grand opening celebration will potentially take place in August or September during the SLFNHA Annual General Meeting.

some of these road use strategies to the public so we can have an interactive session to show what we’ve kind of preliminarily proposed for road use strategies and get asking the public what do you think... and get from the public what roads are important to them, how often do they use them, for what purposes do they use them, what are their expectations for future use.”

Lago said most roads on Crown land were constructed in the past for resource management purposes such as forest harvesting. He went on to state that in the past construction of many roads on Crown land was funded by a combination of government agencies and the industry sector. Throughout the 1990s he said a transfer of costs and responsibilities for roads, forest inventory

and renewals went from the province to the forest industry and in the last 10 years, the province has resumed responsibility for most road construction, maintenance costs and forest inventory.

“They’re publicly funded roads. There’s no doubt about it,” Lago said. “In the past, from the 60s to the 80s, public money was put into the roads. Since 2005, they’re getting millions and millions of dollars from the province to maintain and construct forest roads. That is our money. So the gist of the meeting was our money is being used, we should be able to use the roads but this whole forest dwelling caribou thing…”

Another concern Lago brought up was how the forest dwelling caribou being classed as threatened on the endangered species act might affect public

access to the Lac Seul Forest.

“They don’t know what numbers are here. They don’t know the trends of the caribou. Let us get the studies done, allow residents

to access these roads,” Lago said.

Carnochan added, “We’re still unsure, even at our level, what that might finally be, until the habitat regulation comes out we won’t know for sure.”

Carnochan said that some existing roads in the Lac Seul Forest may be closed in the future. “There’s going to be some movement toward what we call decommissioning and abandonment to some of the roads.”

He continued, “When the Sustainable Forest Licence (McKenzie Forest Products) is finished in an area they have to give us

an indication on when they plan on returning that road back to the Crown, and when they do, and that will be stuff we present at this open house. We have to make a decision on what’s going to happen to that road and that’s a big reason why we want to go to the public is because we want to find out what are the priority areas.”

He added, “I think we’re all on the same page. All of us that live in this community are kind of on the same page when it comes to recreational opportunities, hunting, fishing and I think this is a good way of

getting people from the public involved in the process.”

The MNR and SFL will also be going to Lac Seul and Slate Falls the following week with the same open house.

After that, Carnochan said there will be a 30 day public comment period and a Lac Seul Forest Management Plan meeting February 25.

Ultimately, he said, the final decision on what roads, if any, might be closed, rests with the MNR District Manager.

A petition asking that public roads remain public is available at Al’s Sport Excellence.

“YOU’RE going to have so much fun,” author Bob

McAlpine declared to the sea of eager faces filling the A-frame Gallery.

The fun McAlpine referred to was that of persuading stories from people—gathering their memoirs by asking all the right questions. To those in attendance at his memoir workshops February 3 and 4 at the A-frame Art Gallery, McAlpine’s announcement was the finale to two days of exercises and activities.

Originally from Thunder Bay and coming to Sioux Lookout from his current home base of Caledon, Ontario, McAlpine visited for one week to take part in the literacy festival.

“He’s chosen to come from Southern Ontario to Sioux Lookout for a week in February. That’s nuts,” laughed A-frame Gallery owner Donna Giles.

“I’ve got a background as a teacher and was in leadership activities for most of my life,” McAlpine explained. “When I retired I began to write. To my astonishment, it was poetry.”

After working hard to publish an anthology of his poetry, McAlpine found himself combining his newfound creativity with his love of leadership through facilitating writing workshops.

“It was easy for

Memoir workshop teaches the art of the interview

me to understand the beginning writer,” McAlpine said, stating that he could understand new writers’ feelings of unease and shyness when it came to sharing their work.

At the A-frame Gallery, McAlpine led participants through different assignments, leading up to an in-depth interview. Through essay writing and creating maps and plans to learning how to pose open-ended questions, participants gained new skills.

The final activity was to generate interview questions based on a volunteer’s words associated with Sioux

Lookout. The group took single-word prompts and developed them into questions designed to discover interesting stories from the subject’s life.

Although the goal of the workshop was to develop better interviewers, McAlpine said that through their involvement the participants became more self-aware.

“There was a point yesterday that was awesome,” he enthused, going on to describe a moment in which the participants, reading their writing aloud to the group, realized how much of themselves they were sharing with

others.“I think they, in a

sense, were turned inside out,” McAlpine said, commenting on the benefits of the workshop. “From interviewer, to interviewee, they opened up their own creative nature.”

As the workshop leader, McAlpine said he benefited from the experience as well. Drawing on his own recollections of past creative guides, he stressed the importance of finding a mentor of one’s own.

“It’s amazing to see people grow. That’s what I love. That’s what drives me,” he concluded.

A curious crowd listened to poet Bob McAlpine read an entry from his journal, at his memoir writing workshop held February 3 and 4. McAlpine visited Sioux Lookout as part of the literacy festival.

CHILDREN and their families eagerly took

their seats in the Sacred Heart School gymnasium February 5 for the latest show in this season’s Kids Kaleidoscope Entertainment Series featuring Norman Foote.

“This is going to be the greatest show tonight. It will be fabulous. I can tell right now,” Foote shared before taking to the stage. “What a beautiful community to come and perform for. I’ve already met quite a few people and it seems like a great group that’s putting this on. I’ll be doing songs off my latest CD, which is called Love My New Shirt, which actually isn’t a new shirt at all. It’s from the second hand store, but I think it’s new. I like to sing songs that generate participation from the audience, whether it’s singing or laughing, some spontaneous stuff.”

Foote’s web site states that he has written and recorded songs for Disney Records, Shari Lewis, and the CBC syndicated TV show Scoop & Doozie. Norman has received four Parents Choice and NAPPA Gold Awards, Pacifi c Music Industry Awards, Juno Nominations and Socan’s Songwriter of the year award. His music videos include One Thousand Pennies, Lets

Children and adults laughed, sang and clapped along with Foote throughout the performance.

The next show in the Kids Kaleidoscope Entertainment Series is BAM – Percussion Group on April 16.

The Kids Kaleidoscope Entertainment Series in Sioux Lookout was created in 1993 by a group of eight volunteers. The fi rst season of four shows was presented in 1994.

The mandate of the Kids Kaleidoscope Entertainment Series is to bring high quality, affordable and diverse live entertainment to the children and families of Sioux Lookout.

WITH the c o c k t a i l s f l o w i n g ,

friendly bartenders and wait staff smiling, and auction items fl ying off the shelves, the Blueberry Festival Ladies’ Night Out Auction held February 6 was a big success.

“It’s our fourth annual Ladies’ Night Out,” said Dori Hopko, festival committee chairperson. “The community is extremely supportive of this event.”

Ladies’ Night Out paints the town blueA live auction and penny

auction featured treasures generously donated by community members and local businesses. From handmade clothing to vacation packages, the women in the crowd opened their wallets to support a good cause. And, said Hopko, auctioneer Dick MacKenzie was a great help in selling the items.

“Dick has been our auctioneer since the start,” she said. “He does a great job.”

The auction night is the fi rst offi cial fundraising

event for the Blueberry Festival, and gives the festival committee the necessary funds to get the ball rolling on additional planning.

“It’s our major fundraiser to get the Blueberry started,” Hopko said. “It’s our jumping off point.”

Along with the donation of auction items and mystery prizes, the night was made possible by volunteers from the community handling everything from bartending to clean-up.

“We’ve got a great group of gentlemen volunteers,” Hopko said of the black-and-white clad waiters carrying trays of cocktails around the room.

“We’re really blessed with all of the sponsors that support us,” she added.

Organizers were in agreement that there was a good turnout of women to celebrate the night, with Hopko saying that she enjoys seeing a different mix of people every year.

“We even had one table incorporate a birthday party into the night,” she laughed, pointing out a handful of festive balloons.

Most importantly, Hopko said, “We’re very excited to kick off the 28th annual Blueberry Festival!”



From mystery prizes to colourful cocktails, the 4th Annual Blueberry Festival Ladies Night Out kept women in good spirits while raising money to support this year’s Bluberry Festival.

SIOUX Lookout’s eighth annual writing contest

drew to a close with the announcement of contest winners February 3 at the library.

With the 2010 contest being slightly different from those in the past, owing to the contest’s call for biographies and autobiographies of a personal, local or family history, contest judge

SLPL announces Empowered Expression 2010 winners

Barb Matousek said fewer entries than usual came forward, with no entries in the primary category.

However, she said she and other judges Sarah Flowers, Kristin King and Jenny Morrow had a diffi cult time choosing the winners from the great submissions they received.

“I thought they were excellent,” Morrow said of the submitted stories. “What was wonderful was the quality of writing was universally high.”

Morrow said that, due

to the nature of recording history, she felt all of the participants were writing from their hearts.

Taking fi rst place in the junior personal history category, Jenelle Manitowabi, a Grade 4 student at Sioux Mountain Public School, wrote about her family heritage. In the intermediate personal history category, Samantha Barkman placed fi rst with a recollection of camping. Dwight Beaver received an honourable mention.

Jarrett McKay placed fi rst in the senior local history category with a written history of Bearskin Lake. In the senior personal history category Jordyn Fenelon’s tale of a plane landing gone awry garnered fi rst place, with Hazel Lopena’s

memories of a new town and Tanya Kakekaspan’s reminiscences of her mother tying for second place. Leslie Spence and Autumn Neekan received honourable mentions.

Noelle Roberts placed fi rst in the adult local

history category with remembrances of her family home, Love’s Cove. Donna Giles and Debbie Mishibinijima tied for fi rst place in adult personal history with a tribute to a beloved aunt and a personal autobiography, respectively, with Kelly Anderson’s story of personal redemption and Chris Larsh’s funny

account of growing up on a Southern Ontario farm tying for second place.

Each winner received $50, sponsored by Hudson School Staff, KPETA, the Creative Arts Circle, QEDHS staff, Pelican Falls staff, the library board, and Plumbline Plumbing. The contest as a whole was sponsored by Wahsa DEC, the Winnipeg

Writing contest judges drew from the winners’ names to select a grand prize winner. Jordyn Fenelon won $300 and a two-night stay at the Winnipeg Radisson.

Radisson, and the Rotary Club of Sioux Lookout.

For Noelle Roberts, whose entry was her fi rst foray into writing contests, the theme is what encouraged her to write.

“I have been tempted to enter writing contests in the past but usually have diffi culty setting aside the time,” she said. “I was

interested in this particular contest because the categories were personal history, local history and family history. Our family has lived at Love’s Cove since 1926 and our children are the fourth generation to live there so I think that is signifi cant.

“I am grateful that we are able to continue that

legacy and feel that it is important to recognize the changes over the years but to also acknowledge all of the things that stay the same,” she continued.

All of the winners’ names were placed into a

draw for the grand prize of $300 and a two-night stay at the Winnipeg Radisson. Jordyn Fenelon’s name was pulled, to applause from the gathered crowd of eager listeners.

Regardless of who won,

Morrow said that entering contests like Empowered Expression 2010 is a benefi t to writers.

“I think it encourages people to write and

complete something, and to tell their stories, whether they win or not,” Morrow said. “They are getting something for themselves.”

IT is not every day that a high school student gets to hear

his or her principal reading haiku. QEDHS students participating in the Sioux Hudson Literacy Festival writer’s showcase February 5 witnessed all that and more.

Entitled Everyone Has a Story, the showcase featured the talent of eight artists. Students cycled between four mini-workshops, held at the A-frame Gallery and the Sioux Lookout Recreation Centre.

At the A-frame, QEDHS principal Clinton Bruetsch shared his poetry, sometimes set to slideshow presentations featuring photos and music. He hoped to pass on his passion to the gathered students, saying, “I challenge you to write some haiku. It’s a lot of fun.”

Also presenting at the art gallery was owner Donna Giles, there to share some of her own creative works while in turn encouraging students to identify themselves as artists.

“I had a thought this week that most of us in our lives have played some kind of hockey,” she said. “If I asked you if you’ve ever played hockey, you’d say yes. But if I said, Do you write, are you a writer, an artist, a painter, you

Everyone has a story at QEDHS writers’ showcasemight say no.

“I think we have to be able to say, I write, I create, I paint,” she said. “It’s taken me a long time to say I’m an artist.”

At the Recreation Centre students were treated to the music of local artists Dan Fraser and Nick Sherman. Addressing the crowd while strumming their guitars, the duo suggested that budding songwriters look to what they know for inspiration.

“You’re going to write about what you know. You’re going to write about what’s in your life,” Fraser said.

Though it may not be considered writing in the traditional sense, Fraser said that music is an excellent way to communicate.

“You can always write songs to express yourself through that medium. I always say that the guitar got me in tune,” he shared.

Poet Bob McAlpine and writer and performance artist Tanya Elchuk carried on that message, reading poetry based on personal experiences.

“I think writing can be a really good way to express yourself, and express your feelings,” Elchuk said.

McAlpine agreed, saying that when written from the heart, it seems easier to take an idea and put it into words.

Hometown musician and theatre aficionado

Gregory Link teamed up with Sioux Lookout writer Jenny Morrow to complete the showcase, playing guitar and reading short stories, respectively.

“I write music because I find it’s therapeutic,” Link revealed. “I take things out of my life, things that have happened, things people do, things I do, and write songs about them.”

Morrow gave students a glimpse of where they could go with writing

in the future by reading a story written by QEDHS alumnus Mike Laverty. Published in the December 2009 issue of The Maple Tree Literacy Supplement, Laverty’s story Ispakonaka or The Snow is Piled High is based on events he experienced in Sioux Lookout.

“Mike, right now, is studying creative writing at the University of Windsor,” Morrow commented.

The event ended

with QEDHS teacher Sarah Flowers thanking both the artists and participants for their time and talent.

Supporters Keewatin-Patricia District School Board, QEDHS, the Sioux Lookout

Recreation Centre, A-frame Gallery, the Sioux Lookout Public Library, the Sioux Lookout Youth Centre, and the Sioux Hudson Literacy Festival, made the showcase possible.


Queen Elizabeth students and staff listened intently as Sioux Lookout writer Jenny Morrow read from a short story by former resident Mike Laverty. She and musician Gregory Link comprised one station at the QEDHS Writers’ Showcase.

A day out in Sioux L o o k o u t ’ s beautiful winter

wonderland while supporting the local snowmobile club.

Approximately 100 riders took to the trails Saturday in the Ojibway Power Toboggan Association Annual Poker Derby.

Riders began their trip from the OPTA clubhouse on Abram Lake.

Event organizer Gail Sayers explained, “People come and register and they buy their hand. They go for a little ride and get stamps on the trail. They go from here to Ojibway Provincial Park, we have a warm-

OPTA poker derby a winning propositionup shack there, so they get a stamp there and then they go to Hudson and can have lunch there and get a stamp there and then the next stop is at Pelican Falls School, just at the guardhouse, and then they come back here.”

When finished their run, riders draw cards from a shuffled deck and their hand is recorded.

The event concluded with a social Saturday evening at the Legion, where winners were announced and a silent auction was set up.

The poker derby is a fundraiser for the OPTA, which the club has been running for many years.

In addition to local riders, this year’s event also drew riders from Atikokan and Dryden.

Important Notice to EmployersAvis important aux employeurs


HOMELESS ani-mals in town are getting by with

a little help from gener-ous volunteers, as the Sioux Lookout Chapter of the Second Chance Pet Network (SCPN) has wasted no time getting up and running.

At a meeting held February 7 the SCPN in Sioux Lookout outlined various plans to raise money and awareness in the community.

Second Chance Pet Network forges aheadSCPN is now able

to transport animals to Dryden to be spayed or neutered, based around volunteer schedules. For the cost of the operation, usually around $150 to $160, and a donation to SCPN to cover travel, animals will be taken to a veterinarian and returned to the owner. Interested owners or volunteers should contact Rebecca Tibbs at 738-0021.

Bylaw enforcement supervisor Rob Favot said that with an additional bylaw offi cer coming to

the municipality soon, it will be possible to have stray animals shown by appointment seven days a week. He pointed out that the municipality is currently able to keep animals past their technical four-day limit thanks to the generosity of donations, but, “at a point in time, we have to do something with them.”

A large part of SCPN’s time has been spent arranging with the municipality to deal with stray cat populations at the dump.

“To date we have distributed donation boxes around town and have determined that there is a colony of feral cats at the dump,” shared Marlie Squires. “We plan to feed, trap, neuter and release the dump cats and then move on to support low income families who may not be able to transport or fully fund having their animal spayed or neutered.”

Second Chance has established the fi rst and only trap, neuter, release program in Northwestern Ontario. It is seen as

a gentle alternative to euthanasia in managing feral animal populations. Animals are caught using humane cage traps, taken to a veterinarian to be neutered and vaccinated, marked as a sterilized feral and then released back to the site of capture.

“The trap, neuter, release program for feral cats is one area that we know we have to work on and I’m certain that most of Sioux Lookout isn’t aware of its existence or need,” said Squires.

Upcoming fundraising

will include a tag drive in May, and a dog walk-a-thon that will likely coincide with Blueberry Festival activities. The organization also plans to attend a municipal meeting to ask for moral and potential monetary support, as well as connect with local schools to explore volunteer opportunities.

The next SCPN meeting will be held at the fi re hall February 17 at 9:30 a.m. The organization is looking for new members and volunteers.
