Haida Gwaii Eyes…
Wide Open
Proactive Ponderings about Common Challenges
3 Generations
by Shellene Van der Beke
When you were a kid, what did you do for fun?
A recently aired commercial sponsored by www.naturevalley.ca has spread like wild fire on Facebook while the YouTube video version, posted on July 7th, is creeping towards 3 million views. (Worth checking out, titled: Nature Valley 3 Generations Photo from the Nature Valley video on YouTube #RediscoverNature). The focus of the commercial is simple: ask three generations what they did for fun when they were a kid: 1st generation / Grandparents: blueberry picking, growing watermelons, fishing & tobogganing… 2nd generation / Parents: hide and seek, baseball & fort building… 3rd generation / Children: video games, text, email…3, 4 or 5 hours a day. “I would die if I don’t have my tablet” says a young interviewee who looks to be around 8 or so years old. Actually, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation Study, kids ages 8-18 spend an average of 7.5 hours per day, 7 days per week plugged into computers, TV, video games, music, cell phones, etc. Maybe this is not the average here on Haida Gwaii, but are we well on our way? Challenge: Technological invasion of our children’s, and our own, minds, bodies and spirits / Disconnection with the natural and in person world. And yes, there is even a term for it: Nature Deficit Disorder. Wow.
Solutions: I know, easier said than done (as I type this sitting at my computer) but the message remains the same: Let’s all take two or more steps away from being “plugged in”, whenever and as often as we can. Get out in nature. Even if it is just a leisurely walk around the block. If you have kids, of course, take them with you. Relax, play or connect with the outside world at least once per day. Revere nature. Why would we not? Nature is so beautiful, wise and awe-inspiring. Every chance you get, look, touch, smell, taste (safely), listen and love the natural world around you. Be well with nature. Now called “Ecotherapy”, it is said that green spaces lessen brain fatigue, ease depression, improve a person’s outlook and focus and strengthen one’s immunity. Bring on the green!
~ One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. William Shakespeare ~

If You’re Happy And You Know It…
by Shellene Van der Beke
Just clap your hands? If only it was that easy. Happiness has always fascinated me. From my elders I have learned that happiness is indeed a choice. There are a few things on Facebook that I love. Collective Evolution (www.collective-evolution.com) is one of them. Created in 2009, CE is a part of a fast growing trend of journalism coined as “alternative media”. Media that, as their mission statement says, “aims to challenge the current status quo by shaking up how we currently think about the world”. Photo from Pixabay
For me, a recent post written by one of CE’s core team members, Mark DeNicola, hit the nail on the head of what happiness means today.
9 Common Traits Of Happy People (That They Don’t Talk About): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Love themselves for who they are. See relationships as an extension to, rather than the basis of, the human experience. Embrace change. Celebrate rather than compare themselves to the accomplishments of others. Never dwell on being a victim. They live in the present. Trust that everything happens for a reason. They don’t let money dictate their lives. Look within for solutions.
Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is. Mandy Hale

Metabolic Syndrome Revisited By Donna Duffy, RN, BSN, MPH
met·a·bol·ic syn·drome: a cluster of biochemical and physiological abnormalities associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
This isn’t the first time this subject has been addressed here, but it bears repeating because it’s become so common and it’s placing a huge burden on our health care system. You may be thinking that metabolic syndrome has nothing to do with you and you might be right, but there’s also a good chance that you have the beginnings of metabolic syndrome right now. It can start early in life, the signs manifesting in childhood in some cases. It’s estimated that fully two-thirds of Canadian adults have at least one of the signs of metabolic syndrome. If you have the beginnings of metabolic syndrome you aren’t likely to know it. But if you do, and you make the changes necessary to stop its progress, you can save yourself a lot of grief in the future. So how do you know if you have metabolic syndrome? Why would you want to know anyway? To answer the second question first, you want to know because there is a lot you can do now to reverse the process and avoid some unpleasant things like heart bypass surgery, diabetes, stroke or heart attack, even Alzheimer’s and cancer. A lot of maladies thought to be the price of getting older are really the result of metabolic syndrome. How do you know if you have it? A few routine blood tests and a waist circumference measurement will give your doctor the information necessary to diagnose metabolic syndrome. You can get a lab requisition from your doctor or nurse practitioner for a blood sugar test and a “lipid panel” (a lipid panel provides information about cholesterol and fats in your blood). These are the diagnostic signs of metabolic syndrome. If you have 3 or more of these signs, you have metabolic syndrome—but even one of these signs can spell trouble ahead: Large waist circumference (“apple” shape) indicating abdominal obesity Low HDL (the protective, “good” cholesterol) High triglycerides (a kind of fat that is present in your blood) Higher than normal blood sugar High blood pressure So what’s behind this syndrome? Chronic high insulin levels in the blood are to blame. Insulin is a hormone that helps keep blood sugar levels within a safe range. When you consume carbohydrates, they break down to sugar in digestion. Most whole, unprocessed foods cause a nice, slow rise in blood sugar and don’t require too much insulin. But when you consume foods or drinks that are heavy in sugar or refined carbohydrate, sugar floods your bloodstream very quickly. The body has to respond fast to bring those blood sugar levels down. It does this by releasing a surge of insulin from the pancreas. Over time, high insulin levels trigger the storage of fat in the abdomen, around the internal organs. This “visceral fat” produces its own hormones that keep the insulin levels high, laying the groundwork for metabolic syndrome. What to do about it? Well, you can take medications for blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. This may reduce your risks for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes complications—but it won’t eliminate your risk. If you want to get at the root of the problem, start by avoiding those things that cause the problem to begin with. Frequent intake of processed foods and sugary foods and beverages is a major factor in the start of metabolic syndrome. Chronic high stress levels and poor sleep can also contribute. Avoid these stressors where you can. There are also some things that you can do that help the body get rid of stress and regain balance. Physical activity is an effective tool for reducing stress in the body and lowering insulin levels. Relaxation is important too. Meditative practice can also be effective for ridding the body of stress. Metabolic syndrome tends to affect entire households so changing eating habits can improve the health of every member of the family. Take charge of your health—life is too precious to spend it in poor health.

Hibby Gren Carver, Poet and Philosopher May 17, 1913-Dec. 25, 1982
Article and photos from the Dixon Entrance Maritime Museum
Hibby was a resident of the Islands for over 40 years. Over the years he was a fisherman, logger, built small boats, helped build larger boats, owned a small fishing boat called the ‘Olympic’, carved figures, wrote poetry and “bummed around”. His poetry was written in blank, irregular verse about the people, his friends, his pony and the beaches. He lived the “hippy” life. Hibby carved cork floats into “shrunken heads” using just a thin bladed jack-knife. A head
could be carved in ½ hour, and the “hair”, made from tousled manila line, would take another ½ hour. These unique heads were in demand and would sell for 5 to 10 dollars. His wood carvings made from white pine, alder and yellow cedar are primitive. He preferred to leave broad, bold knife strokes and could create a figurine in about 5 hours. This technique was his personal trade mark and his character and way of life can be summarized in his philosophy of “You are safe as long as you can sing and have a good guitar”.
See Hibby’s carvings and so much more at the Dixon Entrance Maritime Museum. This museum is located in the original Masset hospital building (built in 1914) and is located at 2183 Collison Avenue. Summer Hours: open daily from 1-5pm until September 6th. Their phone number is 250-626-6066 Do you have a piece of Haida Gwaii history you would like to share? We would love to hear from you!

Born and bred in Massett: Xuuda, a healthy dog.
Swimming does not make dogs sick Submitted by Haida Laas/Graham Richard
An upset stomach, affectionately dubbed “garbage-can gastroenteritis” in the veterinary community, is a very common problem for the beloved canine. It is caused
by their indiscriminate consumption of “junk-food” like deer hooves, fish guts and other culinary delights. Swimming does not cause gastroenteritis, and so far no dogs
Call for Athlii Gwaii photos & memorabilia November 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of Athlii Gwaii. To mark this event the Council of the Haida Nation will be publishing a book on the movement, its people and legacies to mark this event (publishing date February 2016).

have contracted anything by swimming in the ocean. Early July in K’il Llnagaay Sandspit and Gaaw, two dogs showed symptoms of gastroenteritis. One owner was coached over the phone to induce vomiting, which revealed the dog had consumed seascraps. By morning the dog recovered. In the other incident the dog was brought in, received treatment, vomited sea-scraps, and recovered by morning. Never the less, rumours began circulating that something deadly was in the seawater. Local veterinarian Dr Don Richardson successfully treats a steady stream of patients struck down by this common ailment. All dogs brought to his clinic with symptoms have recovered with treatment. Not a single dog brought to Dr Richardson for gastroenteritis has died. “A lot of people have blown this completely out of proportion,” explained Dr Richardson. “We get dogs [with gastroenteritis] on a regular basis week in week out. No [dog] died. Every [dog] got better.” To prevent illness, ensure your dog does not consume salt or stagnant water, rotting flesh, or large amounts of seaweeds. Watching your dog’s diet at the beach will also eliminate risk of paralytic shellfish poisoning. Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea, bloody excrement, and “neuro-signs” – like shaking, quakes, and tremors. If your dog exhibits these symptoms and does not recover within 24-hours, seek professional help. With time recovery grows more difficult. Dogs brought in very late may require I.V. treatment. Dogs visiting from off-island contract gastroenteritis more frequently because they consume ocean water to quench thirst more often. “No one is getting sick from swimming.. there are not dozens of dogs dying, and these cases are not connected. We see them all the time,” Dr Richardson reassured. “Drinking salt and stagnant water will make you sick. Sometimes your dog will also get what appears to be beaver fever. They respond wonderfully to medication and get better.”

Islands kids enjoy fun, friendship and fitness at summer day camps
While school’s out for summer, kids on the islands have been enjoying a series of activity-filled day camps, thanks to the Haida Gwaii Recreation Commission and the Gwaii Trust. The Haida Gwaii Recreation Summer Program day camps have been held in Sandspit, Masset, and Port Clements already this summer, with a final session to be held in Skidegate in the last two weeks of August. The camps are open
to all children from kindergarten to grade 6. Sports skills, healthy snacks, cultural activities, and crafts are features of the popular program, which helps nurture kids’ knowledge and abilities during the school holidays. Camp leader Tianna Grosse and assistant Fergus Wilson organize the schedule, and bring in adult mentors from all islands communities to share their skills and knowledge with the kids. Some of the highlights this summer, Tianna and Fergus said, have
been paddleboarding, archery, rugby and cedar weaving. One day, the day campers went out berry picking and then learned how to make jam. In Masset, they got to visit the fire hall. And in all communities they’ve gone out to explore the beach at low tide and learn about the plants and animals that live there. The Gwaii Trust’s $10,000 contribution helps pay wages and buy craft supplies and healthy, local food for snacks. The rec commission also receives support from Canada Summer Jobs. Spots are still available at the Skidegate camp, which takes place August 17 to 21 and August 24 to 28 at Sk’aadgaa Naay Elementary. Campers can register for a whole week, or drop in for a day or two if space permits. Contact Haida Gwaii Rec at 250-626-5652 to register or for more information.
DID YOU KNOW? The Gwaii Trust is providing $60,000 in grants to summer camps on Haida Gwaii this year, including Swan Bay Rediscovery and the Rediscovery camp at T’aalan Stl’ang 9
Families = Communities = Earth When you take on the role of a Planetary Manager, as we suggested in previous articles, you see at once how the material planet can be used, manipulated, and developed for your personal use and the use of your communities. But, to become sustainable, you must also not over-use, misuse, or destroy the plants and animals that Mother Earth has provided to you.
With every day that passes, more and more citizens are becoming Planetary Managers; One with the Earth, and all others. Whether you are a parent or not, we all, by example, teach our children how to respect themselves, their neighbors, and even their neighbors in other countries. The philosophy of Oneness then becomes self-empowering by removing the sense of separation. The philosophy of Oneness is not a shallow commitment, but one that operates in your daily life.
Consider the Oneness you feel with those you are closest to. Now, extend that to all other people. When you see this Oneness, then you
10
are beginning to see why we teach you about Oneness. Oppositely, separation causes a great deal of dis-ease among people. Unfortunately, separation is often the model that children are taught by their parents or those who raise them.
It is time in the social evolution of Earth’s people that the children begin to seek oneness in their lives, even when there is no oneness in their parent’s family. Children who are known as “Millennials” have already begun to build oneness in their lives, and many have vowed not to repeat the separation that is all around them.
It is time for parents to teach their children to begin thinking of the families and children they will have and to practice Oneness and not separation. The way of Planetary Management and Oneness always has and always will begin in the family. For more information contact Daniel Raphael @ daniel.raphaelphd@gmail.com
Horoscopes for Aug. 15th to Sept. 15th, 2015 Aries (March 20-April 19) The upcoming weeks might feel like you have a field to plow before you plant, dear Aries. Put your head down to plod on, doing the work that needs to be done. Be sure to remember why the work needs completing, because you have chosen this project for your highest good. Get creative and have fun, and the “job” won’t seem like a job after all. Key Words: Commitment, Responsibility, Playful Taurus (April 19-May 20) You’ve been on a mission Taurus, and not an impossible one. Challenging yes, but you are nearing the end. Soon it will feel like a dream, was that as stressful as it seemed? Relax some in the next few weeks knowing that when push came to shove, you had the endurance to follow through. Now it’s time for a nap and an ice cold drink. Key Words: Successful, Creative, Productive Gemini (May 20-June 21) It’s time to focus on two issues now, dear Gemini. Your favorite! What can you do to help the relationships in your family and how do you do this with joy and pleasure in mind? It may be time to have a date night with one or more family members so they can be sure of the love you feel for them. And in doing so, you just might find that it feeds your soul too. Key Words: Love, Compassionate, Family
Cancer (June 21-July 22) There’s a feeling in the air for you, lovely Cancer. The feeling is of inner peace. How can you achieve this without trying, just by being? Now is the perfect time to answer this. Look within, be present, breathe deeply and meditate. Practice anything that brings you to feeling deeply healed. Why - because you deserve it. Key Words: Contemplate, Deep Psyche, Receive Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) Leo the Lion may feel that it’s time to speak up and be heard. But what exactly do you want to say? Whatever it is, it should leave you with a feeling of self-worth and self-realization. Otherwise it’s just blowing off steam. You are the archetype of the leader. Sometimes a lonely place to be as it’s isolating. My advice to you is this: Speak your truth no matter what, and let everyone else decide how to interpret it. Key Words: Honesty, Confidence, Determination
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) The next few weeks, dear Virgo may be rewarding as well as challenging. How do you balance your time between what you want and what your family and friends want for you? If you are not appearing a little selfish to others right now, you aren’t doing your job. Step forward in your life! You are entitled to take up some space, moving toward your goals. Key Words: Passion, Desires, Ability
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) Step back a little bit for the next couple weeks, artistic Libra. Meditate around what your future goals and aspirations are. You don’t have to 100% know what they are, only begin to ask the questions of yourself. Then get quiet long enough to hear the answers. This is the time to question yourself, not the time to act impulsively. Key Words: Visionary, Reflect, Breathe Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) For sensitive Scorpio’s, thinking about your aspirations for the future is not a natural habitat for you. You’d rather feel them than think them. But the next few weeks give you the ability to shine out in the world in a way that feels natural. You are someone that is an expert in your field, whatever that may be. It’s time to showcase this to the world. Key Words: Accomplishment, Capable, Enduring Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) Finally, dear Sagittarian, you feel like yourself. Your hopeful, engaging, bigger than life self. The last few months have been challenging for you to say the least. But you have hung in there and persevered in spite of what’s presented itself. Now it’s time to reap the benefits of what you have endured. Celebrate that it is, in fact, good to be alive! Key Words: Travel, Believe, Succeed
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You’ve been on the go for some time, dear Capricorn. It’s time for your train to stop in the station and refuel. To look at some truths concerning your life and determine if they are still serving your highest good or not. You don’t have to make any drastic changes at this time, just reflect on the general feeling in your body, mind and spirit. Key Words: Reaccess, Truth, Vision Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) There’s a bit of a balancing act going on around you, between what works for you and how to incorporate what works for others. These next several weeks will help you practice this. Now is not the time to isolate yourself. Your greatest lessons and greatest joy will come from connecting with others in a meaningful way. And in doing so, you may find yourself after all. Key Words: Connection, Relationships, Partnership . Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Dear Pisces, it’s time to reflect on how to connect with others without losing yourself in the process. There is a way to put others first and still stay connected to your core values. You are the archetype of the mystic and the dreamer but I ask you now to embrace the archetype of the pioneer and the diplomat. Go forth with courage and passion. Know that when your needs are met, it’s easier to be more thoughtful with others. Key Words: Intention, Leader, Commitment Sage Advisor is a professional astrologer and has been since 2007. She is passionate about helping clients develop the tools of awareness and purpose for their lives.
