It’s a true story of loss and rediscovery. It’s a story still being written for many and although Sarah McArthur is still on her journey through life she has taken the time to write a book under the penname, Beatrice Blue Pipe, about her experiences thus far. The autobiography titled, “The Bosom of Abraham: Knowledge Must Be Transmitted to the Young,” was a healing process for McArthur - a Nakoda-Cree woman from White Bear First Nation. She is now a Child and Youth Councillor as well as a Nakoda language teacher; but, her path thus far has been a difficult one. Throughout her years she has found peace and now is an advocate for her culture; but, finding that peace was a long road after attending a Residential School as a youth. Residential Schools were operated by the Canadian government with the specific goal of assimilating First Nations People and wiping out their teachings. The Residential Schools were church-run and government-funded boarding schools that First Nations youth were forced to attend where they were treated abhorrently. As the summary of the autobiography states on McArthur’s book: “As she grew, the hateful lessons of her youth slowly consumed her, and like too many others, she attempted to silence those demons with alcohol and thoughts of suicide.” McArthur, however, found her way back to her culture in 1991. She had been a catechism teacher, but her heart was not full; so, she started going to the healing lodge and upon her first visit found she burst into tears. It only took a moment at the lodge to know she was where she needed to be. McArthur, therefore, has found not only peace,

but a purpose: to spread knowledge. “The inspiration for the book came to me in a vision dream in 1999,” McArthur explained. “It wasn’t just a matter of writing the book though, it was a healing process. The content has to do with my life with concentration on the impacts of the residential school.” “So, writing this book was a healing process in that it helped me process information and it helped me to make sense of my emotions. It allowed me to challenge my belief systems about myself and about indigenous people – First Nations people. Writing the book helped me realize how important our First Nations language and ceremonies are to our sense of self, to our self-esteem, and our concept of healing. It helped me reaffirm my commitment to learning my language and being able to transmit knowledge to the youth.” McArthur added, “It was a very emotional journey. At times I had to put the book away for four or five months because it took me through emotions of such great sadness and great anger. It helped me to be in balance though and understand that we all have spiritual journeys. Every individual has a purpose on earth.” Her want in the world is for all peoples to heal together, to be able to move past the hurt done by the residential schools, and for everyone to understand the cultural differences and similarities between each other. “I believe that the book was healing, but the biggest message out of writing the book is that we are all spiritual beings on a human journey,” McArthur stated. “I believe that our purpose on earth is to connect spiritually, soul to soul, with other humans. No one is greater or lesser than another; we are all equal in terms of being human.” McArthur’s healing through the book also

McArthur stands next to her father’s feather bonnet, which he was given for 30-years of service in the Nakoda medicine lodge. His influence led McArthur to rediscovering her heritage and culture through attending the lodge after enduring time in a residential school and the effects that reverberated throughout her life due to its influence. came through finding her way back to her culture that was ripped from her as a young girl. “It helped me see First Nations people are stuck in grief; grief from facing trauma in terms of losses, and not just loss as in someone’s death, but loss of land, loss of our ceremonies, loss of our children. We’re stuck in an emotional mire and it’s difficult coming out of that because we are still impacted by the residential schools.” McArthur adds that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action were not really beneficial in fostering healing: “Reconciliation needs to take place, but it needs

to be amongst aboriginal people, Metis, Inuit, and main stream Canada. We need to all sit down and reconcile through respectful communication and understanding.” “We need to not only heal as aboriginal people, but we need to heal as the whole of Canada and come to a spiritual understanding that we are all equal. Everybody needs to step up and put aside our preconceived notions of certain cultures and put aside our racial biases, because every one of us is on a spiritual journey.” “My journey is to get people back to our cultural roots; for them to be strong and proud of who they are,” McArthur said. The book about

McArthur’s life will be available at the Bear Necessities Gift Shop at the Bear Claw Casino for $20. “I want to thank Derrick Big Eagle for sponsoring the artwork, which was done by Michael Lonechild, and the White Bear First Nation Taxation for their support,” McArthur said. The process to publish a book can be a long one and McArthur is happy to be able to share her experiences and help educate people about what she and many other First Nations people have endured. She hopes to bring all people closer together for an understanding and respect of each other as humans is her ultimate goal in writing her autobiography.

Awaiting the gift of life Kelly Running CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

It was on Sept. 2, 2016, that The Observer shared a story about a woman from Saskatchewan, Charlotte L’OsteBrown of Regina, who had been waiting fourteen years for a phone call saying that an organ donor would be giving her the gift of life. L’Oste-Brown’s lungs were slowly failing due to polymyositis, which then triggered pulmonary fibrosis – a thickening of tissues between the lungs’ air sacs. Her long wait has come to a happy end and The Observer has been told she received a double lung transplant earlier this month. She has now begun the road of recovery following the surgery; The Observer will catch up with L’Oste-Brown when she’s ready for an interview, but until then we wish her the best in her recovery. The following article has been edited, but is the one which ran on Sept. 2, 2016, regarding L’OsteBrown’s story waiting for that phone call which would change her life and reiterates the importance of organ donation – the gift of life. Fourteen years can seemingly go by quickly for the average person, but for someone diagnosed with a terminal illness, one that’s only cure is an organ transplant, the waiting can draw out these years. Although it hasn’t been an easy fourteen years, Charlotte L’Oste-Brown of Regina, has a positive outlook on life and continues to look forward as she awaits someone to give her the gift of life, the gift of lungs. She lives her life while waiting for a phone call, one which will

see her ushered onto a plane destined for the city of Edmonton, the city where her transplant will be done. Yet, L’Oste-Brown isn’t one to sit idly by - in fact she’s never been someone to just wait around – so, despite life’s obstacles she has embarked on a new mission in life. She was given confirmation that she should pursue advocating on behalf of organ donation after a conversation with the regional director of the Canadian Transplant Association who encouraged her to tell her story; one that brings awareness to the province’s dismal numbers regarding organ and tissue donations. L’Oste-Brown had been living in Hazenmore, SK, where she operated a successful greenhouse business and was busy being the mother of two active girls. She always found herself busy with life: coaching, dedicating time to the local school board, and enjoying an overall active lifestyle. Her lifestyle was completely altered in June 2003 when she was forced to slow down. She knew something was wrong one morning when her breathing had become laboured. Was it allergies and her surroundings? In September of 2003 she discovered it was something more as she was given a diagnosis of polymyositis - a disease which attacks connective tissue causing inflammation and degeneration of the muscles. The polymyositis then triggered pulmonary fibrosis, which is the thickening of tissues between the lungs’ air sacs. As the tissue thickens it becomes damaged and this damage is irreversible. Her only hope became maintaining her health and waiting for the mo-

ment when the possibility of an organ donation would become a reality – she is now at the top of the donation list. “From 2003 to 2014 it was a gradual process,” L’Oste-Brown explained. “I was losing air and I had to cut down on my physical activity. At that time I was down to approximately 68 percent oxygen, but in August 2014 I had a bad infection and my oxygen dropped to approximately 38 percent.” Almost on cue the oxygen tank she had been breathing from needed to be switched to a new tank: “I’m now on oxygen for 24-hours a day and since December 1, 2015 first I’ve been at the top of the list waiting for lungs.” Lungs, L’Oste-Brown, says are a very particular organ donation because they have to be the exact chest size, blood type, and height. The lung cannot be trimmed to change shape; it has to be the perfect match. Until she receives that call L’Oste-Brown will continue to eat well, exercise as she can, and keep an open mind while utilizing non-traditional medicine as well as medical doctors’ treatments recommendations. “I’ve worked hard to look after myself,” she said. “I’ve tried everything and I think it has all benefitted me in its own way. I’ve seen a herbalist, gone to acupuncture, and always searched for the next thing.” Her medical doctors were happy to work with her and her decision to seek alternative care, but she credits both traditional and non-traditional medicine for where she is today. “I fully believe that for a person to maintain their health they need

both traditional and non-traditional care,” she added. Although she is no longer using non-traditional practices as the operation is very precise and the traditional medical team is able to do their best work when they know exactly what they’re working with and how what they do will affect their patient. Dealing with this challenge has given L’Oste-Brown a new mission, a different reason to push forward in life, to bring the topic of organ donations to the forefront of Saskatchewan’s mind. A cause not only dear to her heart, but one that she was shocked her home province wasn’t more involved in –currently only one percent of the population in the Saskatchewan are organ donors. “One percent is not enough especially in our province, a province of giving; I personally thought that was shocking,” L’Oste-Brown stated. “So, the discussion in Saskatchewan needs to happen. Here it’s all about that sticker that comes with your health card and talking to your family.” It’s imperative that the individual who wants to be an organ donor discuss it with their family as both the donor and next-of-kin must consent to the donation. Even if the donor has said they would like to become a donor their family has the last say on the matter. L’Oste-Brown is in favour of an opt-out registry, which would see everyone in Saskatchewan automatically added to an organ donor list with the option of contacting the registry to have their name taken off the list. This is because, as she speaks with people she has been told

The Observer shared a story in the fall of 2016 about a woman from Saskatchewan, Charlotte L’Oste-Brown of Regina, who had been waiting fourteen years for a phone call saying that an organ donor would be giving her the gift of life. We received word that she is now in recovery after receiving a lung transplant earlier this May.

So, an opt-out program would spur those who don’t want to be organ donors to call, while those who just haven’t

gotten around to putting the sticker on their health card will already be on the list. This is a topic L’OsteBrown presented at Legislature on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016. She registered to speak during an open, public hearing regarding organ donations. Her intention was to bring this topic of an improved registry into discussion and push for the government to develop a better system than what is currently in place in Saskatchewan.

From page 2 - Awaiting the Gift of Life . . . Whether it is an optout registry or a registration done online for those that want to be organ donors ultimately a change needs to be made to make the list of donors more accessible and easier to locate. “The registry needs to be available to EMS immediately because if they come across an accident at one a.m., they need to be able to look up that person’s information and know if they were an organ donor,” she stated. In fact the system is all in place to facilitate a registry as healthcare has moved towards digital files, which can be accessed online by healthcare professionals as needed. It would be a matter of adding the information onto the file. Something which has already found success in

British Columbia where registering to be an organ donor online simply requires your health number, name, date of birth, address, and having a parent/guardian sign on behalf of a minor. A fear that people have if they identify themselves as an organ donor is that their life won’t be cared for in the same way as someone who isn’t an organ donor, but this goes against the Hippocratic Oath and the morality of being a health professional. L’Oste-Brown thusly explained that she and the thousands of others waiting for an organ donation are not simply waiting for someone to die; they are all waiting for someone to make a decision that will give them the gift of life. Approximately 4,500 people in Canada were

waiting for an organ donation in 2014 and 278 individuals died while waiting for transplants according to Health Canada. “Many people think, ‘Well we just need 4,500 or 5,000 people to donate then,’” L’Oste-Brown explains. “But that’s not the case, for example 80 percent of lungs cannot be used in an organ transplant because of how vulnerable they are, which means more donors are needed.” In addition to this it is important to note that children need child donations and adults need adult donations “People are never too old to donate organs,” L’Oste-Brown explained. “There is no age limit and older people are absolutely able to donate, people with cancer can donate, smokers can still donate;

they actually have a machine now that can clean a smoker’s lung up to 78 percent and that’s better than the alternative. I can function on 78 percent. But, the best decision is, if you want to be an organ donor, to just become an organ donor and let the doctor decide at the time what can be used. Someone might have a failing heart, but maybe their kidneys are in good shape.” “If you become an organ donor you can save eight lives and change 70.” This is L’Oste-Brown’s new slogan because bone, tissue, and organs can all be utilized to change someone’s life. For example burn victims are in need of tissue donations, tendons can be used in knee surgeries, and donated bone can be used in bone grafts. L’Oste-Brown will

continue to advocate for organ and tissue donations, while encouraging the province to create a better system for registering to be an organ donor; as she explained once she receives her new lungs L’Oste-Brown looks forward to having more energy to speak publically about organ donations, opening dialogue with others regarding her life’s current journey. A journey which for L’Oste-Brown has come full-circle when she received that call from Edmonton saying someone has given her the gift of life.

Kylee & Ciera: Teenage Trick Riders Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

Teenage trick riders Kylee Dixon of Arcola and Ciera Romanow of Corning are still in high school, but the pair are fast becoming entertainment mainstays at area rodeos. As trick riders, the pair perform specialized stunts on horseback, as a pair and individually. Although trick riding is a popular and muchanticipated event at many rodeos, it’s almost never a competitive event – simply because the sport is viewed as - potentially - too dangerous. As a specialty act, trick riding stunts vary from those which riders can perform solo, as well as synchronized stunts which can be performed by two or more riders. Tricks include the “hippodrome” - where a rider stands upright on a horse - to more complex moves such as the “spin the horn vault.” “The hippodrome is actually easier than than the other tricks,” explains Dixon. “And it’s a real crowdpleaser,” adds Romanow. “But my favourite is spin the horn vault,” says Dixon. “You spin around the (saddle) horn, until your back’s facing the horse’s head. Then you turn and your feet hit the ground and you stand back up. It’s pretty hard.” The girls’ dedication and commitment to the sport means juggling

school with trick riding as well as sacrificing participation in other activities so they can commit to an intense training regime which requires both physical and mental discipline. Along with physical strength and agility, trick riders and their horses perform accompanied by loud music for appreciative but noisy audiences, which can be a challenge. Rider and horse work together, because the girls are strapped to their horses. “You and your horse really have to have trust and be a team,” says Dixon. “And we always have to remember to smile and after every trick, you can’t forget to wave.” “It was definitely scary at the beginning, but as you learn and do more and more, it gets easier,” she adds. Fifteen-year-old Romanow - who attends high school in Kipling and lives with her family on an acreage near Corning - says: “I’ve been doing rodeo since grade five or six and this is my third year trick riding and my second year performing. When I perform by myself, it’s fun. You only worry about yourself, but all of the attention - and the pressure - is on you. Everybody’s there watching you and no one else. With a partner, it’s more relaxing.” “I do (rodeo events) barrel-racing, poleracing, goat-tying, team roping and breakaway

roping,” she adds. “When I started doing rodeos, I never sat in my saddle right, so I started doing trick riding more and more.” “I used to do gymnastics and dance,” adds Romanow. “But not anymore - now I do full-time trick riding and rodeo.” Dixon - who lives on an Arcola area farm dropped volleyball and gymnastics to devote herself to trick riding. “I’ve been riding my whole life,” she says. “I just did my own thing, but I watched trick riding at a rodeo and I just really loved the idea of doing it. I went to a trick riding clinic and Ciera was there. We’d met each other before, but we got together at that clinic.” “I knew right away I wanted to do it,” adds Dixon. “It was pretty automatic.” “I started off riding for pleasure,” says Romanow. “But then I wanted to something more. We’ve both had Niki Flungara as an instructor at a clinic. She’s ridden at the Calgary Stampede. With rodeos, I was never in my saddle right,” adds Romanow. “Trick riding became more and more popular and the saddles are completely different. I still do both, but trick riding was something I really wanted to try and now I ride with Kylee and on my own.” Both girls emphasize the importance of the right horse for the right

They’re like brothers, but they’re two different horses for two different events.”

“Your (trick riding) horse needs to be 100 per cent bomb-proof,” says Dixon, who rides Penny. “They can’t be spooked by anything and they need to have a smooth lope and be able to run fast.”

The riders’ horses are also outfitted with saddles that have a high, thin saddle horn, as well as specialized stirrups and straps.

Instead of cowboy boots, trick riders wear wrestling shoes. “They have thin soles and they allow us to get our feet in and out of the straps easily,” says Kylee Dixon of Arcola. Both Dixon and fellow trick rider Ciera Romanow of Corning also outfit their horses with saddles that have a high, thin saddle horn, as well as specialized stirrups and straps.

Highway crews in southwest Saskatchewan are busy with more than $17 million in road construction underway this week. Work includes paving, road maintenance, bridge work and culvert installations. “Investing in highway infrastructure is a priority for the Government of Saskatchewan, as demonstrated by a number of projects started in the southwest part of the province,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “Please remember to slow down to 60 km/hr through the work zone, and drive with caution so people working on the road get home safely.” On Highway 4 from Swift Current to the Highway 363 junction, $7.1 million in surfacing work and culvert installations continue. A $7.4 million surfacing project on Highway 4 south of Cadillac to the junction of Highway 18 will also continue this week. People travelling in the southwest should also be aware of bridge construction over the Swift Current Creek on Highway 1. The $2.3 million project involves

removing and replacing the structure. Old girders are being removed and replaced, with rehabilitation work on the abutments and piles. In addition to these projects, maintenance work is taking place on Highway 13 near Admiral, Highway 18 near Ponteix, Highway 221 near the Cypress Hills Gate entrance and Highway 363 near Shamrock. Please plan ahead by checking the Highway Hotline for road construction and restrictions on provincial highways at www.saskatchewan.ca/ highwayhotline. A weekly construction update is published on www.saskatchewan. ca/residents/transportation/highway-construction-projects/weeklyhighway-constructionupdate throughout the spring and summer months to provide the travelling public with the latest construction information. Since 2008, the Government of Saskatchewan has invested $7.4 billion in transportation infrastructure, improving more than 12,000 km of Saskatchewan highways.

all that stuff.” “The outfits are a really fun part of trick riding, but they’re also designed so we can ride and perform,” she explains. “We go to rodeos,” says Romanow. “And we’re basically the halftime show. We have over

10 different tricks and we wear very fancy, blingy costumes, big hair and full makeup.” “I’ve done rodeos twice in Saskatoon and once each in Kennedy, Stoughton, Creelman and Glenavon and I’ll be in Arcola this year,” ads Romanow. “Together, Kylee and I were both recently in Brandon and it was great.” “We perform to fast, upbeat songs, which my mom picks. We make sure the songs flow smoothly together. Our performances are usually about 10 minutes long for a performance with more than two riders and when I’m by myself, it’s less than two minutes.” “My first performance was last year in Saskatoon,” says Dixon. “It was very nerve-wracking, but the second time – which was this year in Brandon - not as much.” “The music and choreography is really upbeat and of course, everything’s really loud, so the crowd gets going.” “I do get a bit nervous right before I go in the arena and then seeing the crowd,” continues Dixon. “But once I’m in there,

that goes away. Trick riding is perfect for me and once you practice the tricks as much as we do, you’re not worried about messing up.” “We each do about four or five tricks each and we finish with the hippodrome, because the crowds love it,” says Dixon. “They’re all definitely really hard to learn, but the feeling you get once

you work hard and master a trick is a great feeling.” “I love the adrenaline rush,” says Romanow. “I love getting dressed up and going to the music. It’s like being onstage, except you’re in an arena on a horse.” “And it’s really nice to have a partner,” says Dixon. “We’re a good team.”

Lee drafted in round 8 of the USHL entry draft Justin Lee, Grade 11 kada and played most

of his minor hockey in Deloraine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned a lot from playing and being coached in Deloraine. Don Dietrich and Bob Caldwell have helped me a lot and have gotten me where I am today with the knowledge and the hours they put in with me on the ice to help me as not only a hockey player but as a person as well.â&#x20AC;?

student at Athol Murray College of Notre Dame (Wilcox, SK) and member of the Notre Dame AAA Midget team, was thrilled when he learned he had been drafted in Round 8, 116th overall in the United States Hockey League (USHL) Entry Draft in early May of this year by the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders in Iowa. Lee grew up in Was-

Coulthard Masonry All brickwork - restoration homes, chimney repair, parging sidewalks and basements 2 Certified Journeymen

204-573-0934 204-573-1787 over 35 years experience

Serving Southwestern Manitoba

Lee suited up with the AAA Bantam Southwest Cougars before going to Notre Dame and it was a good experience as well. Desire and talent alone arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for an athlete to advance in their chosen sport. Lee possesses a good work ethic on and off the ice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it takes work to get where I want to be. Having good teammates help you too, because you are able to push each other â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you both want the same thing.â&#x20AC;? Some highlights in Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey career include winning provincials with the Deloraine Royals and receiving top scorer and defenseman of the tournament; winning Tournament of Champions with the Deloraine Royals; winning the SMAAAHL in 2015-

2016 with the Notre Dame Hounds, and receiving ďż˝irst team all-star at the Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament in Calgary was another highlight. Physical training is a huge part of an athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Lee says he tends to train every off day and after games during the season and six days a week in the off-season. As a defenseman Lee says his role is and always has been, to keep the puck out of his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net. This season, however, he was also an assistant captain and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;my role this year changed to be a leader on and off the ice for our team as well.â&#x20AC;? And what about attending school and playing hockey at Notre Dame? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Notre Dame experience is one of a kind and everything about Notre Dame is great. I would recommend it 100%,â&#x20AC;? said Lee. After his graduation in 2018 Lee wants to play Division 1 hockey in the USA. He will be attending the Cedar Rapids camp June 1-4. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a successful camp and Rough Riders ask him to stay, Lee says he would love to play for them.

Lee says his ultimate goal in his hockey career is to play professional hockey in the National Hockey League. When asked about

other careers, Lee said he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;very interested in Farming.â&#x20AC;? Good luck wherever your hockey career takes you Justin.

There is 30-75% funding available upon approval to do these projects and many more. Growing Forward 2’s Farm & Ranch Water Infrastructure Program – cost-share funding to develop water resources on your farm. 50% cost-share funding is available for projects such as new dugouts, dugout expansion or well devel-

opment, deep or shallow buried pipelines, remote watering systems for livestock and wellhead protection. 90% cost-share is available for water well decommissioning projects. Much of this funding is available to rural municipalities as well. Deadlines are coming up for these Growing Forward 2 programs. Pre-approval applications for the Farm Stewardship Program need to be in by June 30, 2017. Potential projects that require preapproval include corral relocation, riparian area fencing, creek and stream crossings, and more.

Try to Overcome “Roadblocks” to a Comfortable Retirement By Edward Jones In your life, you will want to take many journeys. Some are physical – perhaps you’ll finally visit the French Riviera or the Caribbean. Others involve personal growth – one day, you’ll finally become fluent in that foreign language you’ve been studying. But of all the destinations you can identify, few will be as important as retirement – specifically, a comfortable retirement. And that’s why it’s so important to consider the “roadblocks” you might encounter on your road to the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. Here are four of the most common obstacles: Insufficient investments – Very few of us have ever reported investing “too much” for their retirement. But a great many people regret that they saved and invested too little. Don’t make that mistake. Contribute as much as you can afford to your RRSP or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, and increase your contributions whenever your salary goes up. You may also

want to consider the taxexempt growth potential that a TFSA offers, so take advantage of that opportunity, too. And always look for other ways to cut expenses and direct this “found” money toward your retirement. Underestimating your longevity – You can’t predict how long you’ll live, but you can make some reasonable guesses – and you might be surprised at your prospects. According to Statistics Canada, men reaching age 65 today can expect to live, on average, until age 83.5, while women turning age 65 today can anticipate living, on average, until age 86.6. That’s a lot of years – and you’ll need to plan for them when you create long-term saving, investing and spending strategies. Not establishing a suitable withdrawal rate – Once you are retired, you will likely need to start withdrawing money from your retirement accounts. It’s essential that you don’t withdraw too much each year – obviously, you don’t want to run the risk of outliving your resources. www.edwardjones.com

WEALTH MANAGEMENT

That’s why you need to establish an annual withdrawal rate that’s appropriate for your situation, incorporating variables such as your age, the value of your retirement accounts, your estimated lifestyle expenses, and so on. Calculating such a withdrawal rate can be challenging, so you may want to consult with a professional financial advisor. Ignoring inflation – It’s been low in recent years, but inflation hasn’t disappeared, and it could rise at exactly the wrong time – when you’re retired. That’s why you’ll want your portfolio to include some investments with the potential to outpace inflation, even during your retirement years. By being aware of these roadblocks, and taking steps to overcome them, you can help smooth your journey toward retirement – and once you get there, you may enjoy it more.

Mental Health Day Judy Wells DELORAINE TIMES & STAR deltimes@mts.net

The Deloraine School Social Justice Club hosted a Mental Health Day on May 24 — “Cheers to Good Health”. The Peer Support group identified mental health needs during the January exam period and sought out additional supports for dealing with stress and anxiety. The Peer Support group’s mandate is mentorship and problem solving. They want to assist their fellow students as much as possible and they invited several resource people to speak. These included: Rennen Rommelaere (guidance counselor), Stephanie Hutchings (youth mental health worker), Peer Support — Kale Rushing, spoke on behalf of the group that includes Kenzie Edwards, Brendin

Hammond, Belle Hobbs), Lori Kemp (Outreach Worker for Children with Disabilities), Teresa Dillabough, Roselyn Cullens (Health Promotions) and Maddie Loucks (Adult Community Mental Health Worker). Each speaker explained their services how individuals can access these services. Taylor Demetrioff, the youth mental health and promotion worker form the Canadian Mental Health Association spoke to the Gr. 7-12students about stress, anxiety and depression and provided resources to deal with these issues. He also spoke of the importance of destigmatizing mental health conditions. Demetrioff encouraged everyone to take care of the various aspects of health, which contribute to mental health such as selfcare, having supports and ways to de-stress.

Deloraine School Social Justice Club hosted a Mental Health Awareness Day recently. A full day of speakers and activities that was wrapped up with a short walk – led by the Social Justice carrying a banner entitled “Suicide Walk Prevention”. Photo by Judy Wells Maddie McCallum from Outperform Athletics facilitated a Joga (yoga for jocks) session. Students stretched and strengthened their bodies through her program. The Social Justice Club and the school snack program provided muffins and fruit for the nutritious break. During the break students took the opportunity to peruse the displays and gathered information and handouts provided by the community and provincial mental health workers. Teresa Dillabough spoke about “Mindfulness”. This concept means more than one thing but basically it’s “being in the moment” and “being grateful”. We all have a lot of clutter going on in our heads. Mindfulness helps to train the mind to get used to the clutter while still being “present”. The definition of mindfulness

is paying attention on purpose in the present moment and nonjudgmentally to he unfolding of experience moment to moment. “Every morning when Oh Canada is playing, I think about our great country – about those who fought hard for our freedom. It’s a moment we don’t want to waste.” Mindfulness is starting to be used in healthcare in which it can benefit physical, mental and emotional health by: relieving anxiety and providing proactive strategies to deal with extra stresses in life. The importance of providing this information to young people has also been established — once youth start showing signs of needing help, they can be shown strategies all along the way. Negative thoughts stick like Velcro while

positive thoughts slip off like Teflon — we can change the way we feel by our thoughts — get rid of the Velcro. “There are many opportunities for good moments. Mindfulness takes no more time than you already have. Everything worth doing starts with being scared. Challenge yourself – don’t be afraid to put your hand up to ask and answer questions. The greatest risk is to stand in the light. In conclusion, Dillabough said “we were born to be real, not to be perfect.” Kale Rushing spoke on behalf of the Peer Support group. “We are here to help you. You see us around all the time — you can talk to us any time – we want to help any way we can.” Maddie Loucks, the Adult Community Mental Health Worker for this area was impressed that “Cheers to Good Health” was driven by students. “We all have mental health – how you feel, interact and deal with people.” She showed a short film about suicide prevention. There are five R’s of suicide prevention: • Recognize — when you see changes, withdrawal,

unexpected poor performance, hopelessness, giving away personal items, and talking about suicide • Respond — reach out; ask directly if the individual is considering suicide; and listen • Refer — Never keep it a secret and find help Supports include: family, friends, teachers, advisors, counselors, doctors, ER and RCMP • Resilient – takes time and practice — includes getting connected, strong relationships, volunteering, make meaningful moments and learn from the past • Remain hopeful — Accept and welcome change, take care of yourself — know that alcohol and drugs will only make it worse; be proactive. All other students and staff were called to join the Grade 7-12 students and speakers for the “Suicide Walk Prevention”. Kelly Temple created the beautiful banner. Miss Patmore gave a final speech about identifying the sources of strength in one’s lies and developing a plan to tackle the hard times. The final action of the day was to raise a toast for continued good health.
