The critically-acclaimed, made-in-Manitoba film Borealis, set in Churchill and throughout northern Manitoba, will be screened at the Gimli Film Festival from July 20-24, bringing northern Manitoba, at least in name, to the big screen. The film stars Jonas Chernick as Jonah Finn, a rock-bottom gambling addict deeply indebted to Tubby “The Rabbi” Finkleman (Kevin Pollack) and “Brick” (Clé Bennett), a pair of vicious, dry-witted loan sharks. With Jonah is his surly, pot-smoking teenaged daughter, Aurora, oblivious to both the danger her father is in, as well as her own: Aurora is going blind. Desperate, Jonah convinces Aurora to travel north, towards Churchill, in the hopes that she might get to see “the most beautiful sight in the world”: the aurora borealis. As well as starring in the film, Chernick had also wrote the screenplay for the fi lm, his third independent screenplay to date. The core story of the fi lm isn’t a new one: the fi lm’s director, Sean Garrity, had previously made a short film earlier in his career called Blind, following a father, traveling with his soon-to-be blind daughter, to see another one of Canada’s greatest spectacles:

the Rocky Mountains. Chernick’s role was to adapt the script to a feature-length production, noting that he prefers to write personal stories to better connect with his roles. The relationship between Jonah and Aurora, he believes, speaks to the relationship between teenagers and their parents. In writing it, he saw a lot of himself in Aurora, and in Jonah, much of his father. The decision to ﬁlm in Winnipeg, and to set the ﬁlm in Manitoba, was no exception: While Chernick and Garrity currently reside in Toronto, both were raised in Winnipeg, and remain well-connected to the city. Though Chernick had never been to Manitoba’s far north, he said, “I was kind of obsessed with the thought of Churchill: My mom had taken a trip there, and the director, Sean Garrity, had also been there a number of times and spoke very eloquently about it.” He wasn’t disappointed. While Chernick marveled at the landscape and wildlife, what seemed to most stand out was the community and it’s hospitality, at once both extreme and casual. In one particular instance, the duo had realized their camera would not mount on the van they had rented. The team approached a stranger and introduced themselves, and before he knew it: “She

just threw me the keys and said ‘Yup, bring it back when you’re done!’ I think that mentality is something unique to Churchill; I don’t think there’s many places where you would see that.” Geographically, the film did come with it’s challenges, shot as it was on a shoestring budget for a feature fi lm: Chernick and Garrity did make a road trip pushing north to film location shots in Dauphin, Flin Flon, and The Pas. However, though the fi lm features scenes set in Thompson, the film crew was unable to make it quite so far north by road. Locals may find themselves smiling wryly at the highwaystandard, sheet metal “Welcome to Thompson” sign featured in the film, which, well, doesn’t exist. Cost also prohibited the production team from flying equipment and crew to Churchill; Chernick notes that this reality had almost led the team to abandon the fi lm altogether. Only timing, and some creative vision, saved the project: “The Assiniboine Zoo in Winnipeg had just built a ‘Journey to Churchill’ exhibit, where they built a replica of Churchill; We appealed to the zoo to let us into the polar bear exhibit for two full days and nights. They were great hosts to us; Really, they saved the movie.”

Nonetheless, the film does occasionally poke fun at southern perceptions, particularly as Jonah and Aurora approach the crux of their journey at the end of highway six. It was also a surreal but pleasant experience to hear local names uttered in a professional production not geared towards tourism. Despite it’s limitations in production, Borealis is a solid piece of cinema. Chernick’s philosophy of writing his own roles has clearly paid off, and his performance as the wellmeaning but self-destructive Jonah is as immersive as the character himself, while the Pollack and Bennett’s exceptional synergy drives the picture’s seamless oscillation between a dry, quirky wit and an arresting drama. For his work on the fi lm, Director Sean Garrity received the DGC Ontario Best Director award at the Canadian Film Festival in Toronto, and the film itself had won a special jury mention at the 2015 Vancouver Film Festival, and was a nominee in the 2016 Canadian Screen Awards. Borealis is continuing its theater and festival screenings throughout the year. If you’re a Bell or Shaw customer, the film is also available on Video on Demand; For the rest of us, we can catch it on the iTunes store.

Northeast ﬁre situation remains under control KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Despite a busy year for forest fires in the northeastern area of Manitoba, the local fi re situation has presented no immediate dangers as of yet, says Manitoba Fire Program manager Gary Friesen. “We’re getting three to seven new starts in northern Manitoba every day,” says Friesen, “Most of them we’ve responded to, but fire is also a

part of the ecosystem, and we try to honour that in areas where we can.” Fires have crept up near several northern communities across Manitoba, including Thompson, Nelson House, Oxford House, and Leaf Rapids, though Friesen notes all have been thoroughly extinguished. While man-made ﬁres were the most frequent ignition source in early June, Friesen notes that most ﬁres recently have been ignited by lightning, save

two fires near Nelson House, which are currently under investigation. As of July 13, 87 wildfires have been extinguished in the northeast region, 63 of which have been attributed to lightning. Eight fi res burn without required action, while 16 are currently being watched. Fire danger remains moderate across the region. As of yet, there is no indication that a fi re ban will be required.

Living your healthy life

Yes! North

Where to start when we are bombarded with so much conflicting information KYLIE MATECHUK Being healthy: What does that even mean anymore? As a society, we are bombarded by terms that can make our lifestyle healthier, cleaner, leaner, etc. We are targeted by quick ﬁx programs that will help us live better, lose weight, build muscle, sleep better and look a certain way. With so much misconstrued information out there, it’s no wonder we as a society are suffering with disease and disorder caused by poor lifestyle choices. What are the right choices to live a healthier life? One day eggs are good for us, the next they’re not. Whole-wheat bread, or gluten-free alternatives? Butter, or margarine? So many of us don’t trust the information we are given anymore, so we just live by the motto “everything is bad for us, so I’m just going to live my life.” Some of us, especially families, look at the prices of healthier choices or organic foods, and simply feel they can’t afford it. Preparing and cooking food also takes up more time than buying prepared and packaged food. All of these are reasons we choose the

unhealthier path, but they are obstacles we can all still overcome through education and information that is relatable to us as Northern Manitobans. It really comes down to making health choices that work for YOU as an individual and keeping it super simple. What works for one person, might not work for another: Each of us are biochemically different than the next person. We have to start understanding that. How do you FEEL these days? Are you in pain? Are you always feeling tired or exhausted? Do you have digestion issues? How you feel is important to living your most vibrant and fulfilling life. What we fuel our body with is a direct reflection of how we feel and what our energy output is. Where are you spending your time? Are you spending enough time on sleep and self care? Here are some simple tips that anyone can follow to start making subtle, but powerful changes in your life! Lower your sugar intake. Sugar creates acidity in the body, becoming a perfect host for many diseases, disorders and infl ammation. It’s hidden

Promoting sustainable development

in processed foods labeled ‘low-fat’, is overflowing in sodas, processed juices, and is in white breads and pastas. One thing I tell clients a lot is to replace the foods you love with healthier options. Brown rice pastas, sprouted grain breads, full fat yogurts instead of low fat options, and honey in your baking and coffee instead of refined sugars, are all a great way to start decreasing sugar on a regular basis! Eat a hearty breakfast. A lot of people complain that they just aren’t hungry in the morning, eating early makes them nauseous, or they simply don’t have the time, but eating breakfast is important to regulating your metabolism and your blood sugar. Breakfast literally means “break the fast”: Your body has been fasting all night, repairing and renewing itself. What you put into your body after that fast should be nutritious and energizing! Eat something nutrientdense. Eggs are a great source of nutrients and protein; The yolk is better for you than the whites, and are actually a great fi rst food for babies! Nut Continued on Page 5

MLA Report kelly.bindle@leg.gov.mb.ca Kelly Bindle This past week, Growth, Enterprise and Trade Minister Cliff Cullen and I met with various stakeholders in Thompson to discuss our new government’s ‘Yes! North’ Initiative and different ideas to promote sustainable development in northern Manitoba. We met with city council members, Vale representatives and Steelworkers union leaders together to promote ideas and to discuss how each organization envisions future development in the Thompson region, and ways to achieve common objectives. We also met with local representatives of the travel industry to discuss obstacles and unexplored opportunities in pursuing and promoting the north as a tourist destination. These discussions were very informative, and are part of ongoing round tables that are exploring and promoting sustainable development and diversiﬁ cation of the northern economy. As well, we met with administrators from the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship

Centre to discuss training, work placements and other programs they provide to support and help indigenous people adjust to new surroundings when they leave their communities to pursue education, work experience and different careers. Our Manitoba government will hold more discussions to encourage input and new ideas, and to give northerners opportunities to have a say in their future. Everyone’s opinion is welcome. We encourage participation and are looking forward to further input from residents of northern communities and surrounding areas. On behalf of the provincial government, I also want to extend congratulations and best wishes for an exciting and rewarding future to students graduating from the Boys & Girls Club Youth Build program in Thompson. They have worked very hard through a 50-week program, and we wish them all the best. Kelly Bindle, MLA for the constituency of Thompson

Dangerous Waterway Zone Construction of the Keeyask Generating Station is underway near Gull Rapids on the Nelson River. This can cause speed and depth of water in the area to change very quickly and may also result in an increased risk to public safety. Watch for signs, buoys and booms marking the dangerous waterway zone and avoid the area at all times during construction. Be alert, don’t get hurt.

Life in the slow lane BY DANIEL MCSWEENEY

When I retired nine years ago, a journalist asked me about my plans for the future. My career had been rather demanding and he suspected work would be a huge “missing” in my new iteration of life. I started out in the mid 1960s as a newsman and then worked as an “organizational communicator” in the Canadian transportation and mining sectors. When I “left the office” for the last time, I was toiling in public and government affairs for a large mining company. The reporter wondered how I would fill my time. He mused that I was one

of those people whose identity was tied up with their job. He was right. So many people are. And when they “pull the plug,” they lose a part of their identity even though they might not immediately realize it. My job was not just a job. And my company wasn’t just any employer; it was the raison d’etre for the community. Inco’s 1956 nickel discovery in fact gave rise to the birth of a city in the Boreal forest. And Thompson was actually named after a company official – a former chairman of the board of directors. It was my job to publicly represent the corporation and

not just eight hours a day – pretty much non-stop until retreating under the bed covers at night. It was a role I performed for a quarter of a century, a career that I will always treasure. Had I been employed in the same role in a larger urban centre it would have been different. In Thompson, though, I could not walk down the street without interacting with people about issues associated with the company. And for the most part, I loved the experience. A CRASHING HALT And then in 2007, my life in the fast lane came to a crashing halt. I was no longer at the centre of my little world; instead some guy who graciously accepted his retirement watch and was busy crafting an entirely new existence at the other side of the country where I was born 59 years earlier. One of my workmates also wondered how I would adjust to the change. He predicted I might struggle with my new life, switching over from an Autobahn pace of life to one that was in the slow lane. Actually, I longed for life in a slower lane, of not having to speak on behalf of the company, rather just for myself. And while I enjoyed people, it was time for someone else to take over the job, to decide on which community projects to support, to receive calls in the middle of the night when the mines and plants had problems. To bring a fresh new approach to the way things were done, especially in light of new ownership of the company. I was also weary of getting on airplanes and travelling to corporate office for meetings. And most of all, I was tired of dragging my sorry butt out of bed for 7 a.m. management meetings at the mine site. It required someone younger still filled with energy. The reporter’s question though triggered a sniff of insecurity for me about my pending retirement. Could I really slow down in this new iteration of life away from all the action? I wasn’t able to answer his question with conviction. Instead, I offered platitudes about walking Nova Scotia beaches with grandchildren. And in a clever turn of phrase borrowed from an English TV show As Time Goes By, I told my interviewer that I would “learn to do very little,

Daniel McSweeney very slowly.” I’m not sure though I believed my own words. CHANGING LANES At first, retirement is like a vacation away from the routine of work. One of my retired workmates told me it was like being a kid again. Your time is your own. You wake up each morning with a smile and the mystery of a day that could take you anywhere. Then reality sinks in, usually after a few months. There is only so much work you can do around the house. You can only go out for coffee so many times. And then you realize that the role you performed is now carried out by someone else. That seat you sat in for so many year has another, perhaps even more capable, bum sitting in it. The race is over. And it is indeed time to learn to do very little, very slowly. Over the next few years, I struggled with slowing down. Most times I failed miserably. I hauled rock and topsoil in a mad rush matching some imaginary deadline created in my own addled brain. It helped me, though, in getting back in good physical shape, so I can’t complain. The pace though was not sustainable. Eventually, retirees usually adapt to their new circumstances. Gradually I accepted not every job had to be completed in the same day. I began to pace myself, accepting that retirement

should not be a race. I also sought joy in “the little things” that in the past had seemed rather mundane. I got back into art, even self-published a few books, including one for our grandchildren. I always knew my pace had to change, but it is so easy to continue putting pedal to the metal to fulfill a need for achievement – a habit learned over a lifetime. MOZAMBIQUE MEMORY A friend told me a 1960s story about traveLling with fellow university students towards the Malawi-Mozambique border in Africa. They drove in their little luggageladen sedan at the customary 40-50 miles per hour while other vehicles charged by at 70-80 miles an hour. When they reached the border, one of the speedsters was wildly “jumping up and down,” clearly unhappy with border officials. My friend and his colleagues leisurely pulled up, smiled at the guards, and were soon on their way. As they got closer to the Zambezi River to catch the ferry, the same driver raced passed them again kicking up clouds of dust. After reaching the other side, my friend and his fellow traveLlers stopped for a drink at an old colonial hotel in the city of Tete. They watched the fellow peel off as they sat down to enjoy refreshments in the shade. And then later in the

drive, they found him stranded by the side of the road with a flat tire. He was, my friend said, ready to blow a breaker, perhaps even have a heart attack. They helped him and, in spite of his mad rushing, they all arrived at their destination at the same time. Truth be known, I now live life like those traveLlers who slowly drove across Mozambique. I savoUr the company of friends, I cruise at the speed limit and we stop for refreshments when the spirit moves us. In the past, I was more like the guy in the speeding car – hurrying to get nowhere. I am now rather relaxed living in England – slowly taking in the sights and sounds of a new country. Although it took a while, I now fully appreciate that life can be pretty good in the slow lane – and there is joy in doing very little, very slowly. Dan McSweeney, a Halifax native, first worked as a reporter at the old Halifax Herald, then got a taste of public relations work at Canadian National Railway in Moncton, before coming to Thompson in 1980 to work for Inco. He retired back home to Bridgewater on Nova Scotia’s south shore in June 2007 after 27½ years with Inco here. He blogs at mcsweeneysdiversion.wordpress.com.

Living your healthy life Continued from Page 3 butters are great on sprouted toast as well. If you’re pressed for time, or are just getting used to the idea of eating in the morning, why not try a smoothie? Use fruit for your sweet source, and add spinach (it doesn’t taste like anything in smoothies!) and your favourite milk! Nut milks can be made homemade or purchased without sugar, and are a great alternative if you are dairy-free, or cannot digest the sugar or protein in cow’s milk. Don’t skip drinking fresh, clean water! For every cup of coffee or soda, down a cup of water. This will help to keep ﬂushing your body! Try to get used to not drinking cold beverages with your meals. This slows digestion! Exercise in any way, shape or form, for at least 20 minutes every day. You don’t need to belong to a gym or studio to do this. When you’re starting out, it’s important to not overthink things! Just do it. Establish the routine ﬁ rst. It takes 21 days to break a habit and create a new one. As a beginner to changing your lifestyle to a healthier one, simply walking for 20 minutes, whether altogether, or broken up in smaller chunks, is all you need. If you’re sitting in a chair, bed or wheel chair, arm circles or side bends might be something you need to start off with! Manage your breath. Seriously, I’m not joking. Controlling our breath is important to managing stress and being mindful of our actions. Stress kills everything: it destroys digestion, sleep, and immunity. Breathe deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth for a few moments immediately after waking up, moments before eating, whenever you feel stressed, when you’re outside, and before bed. Remember, don’t overthink it, just get up and get moving in ways that work for your body, and eat food that makes you feel good and gives you energy! Listen to your body always! A great tip for food is asking yourself where it came

from. As much as possible, try to eat food that comes in its natural source and not overly processed, or processed at all. Take baby steps, and be happy with where you are on your path to health and wellness. Don’t compare yourself to others, because your journey is different than the next persons! Strive for a better life that works for you! I’d love to hear from you! Try these out and tell me what you think and if it’s helped you! Stay tuned for more holistic health tips from the Yogifoodipreneur! Here’s to your health! Kylie Matechuk is a cer-

tiﬁ ed, experienced yoga teacher, registered in Gold status with the Canadian Yoga Alliance, and Director of teacher training at Mo Tus Nua Wellness, the yoga studio she owns and manages in Northern Manitoba, Canada.

Snow Lake’s Golden Vista Block Snow Lake citizens recently took notice of some clearing taking place in the area between the Golden Vista Block and the shoreline of Snow Lake. There were opinions expressed; however, they may have been formed without knowing all the facts. For the Town’s part, CAO Jordan Willner advised that he drove by the block on May 7th and noted trees downed. On May 19th he got involved after tentatively identifying it as Town owned property and on June 7th he received written conﬁrmation of the fact. Willner said the Council discussed the preliminary nature of the Golden Vista Shoreline Development In-Camera on June 7th and requested Golden Vista’s President, Dave Koop attend council’s June

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com 21st meeting, so the Town could approve the clearing and he could proceed. A spokesperson for the province said, “The Province of Manitoba had no role in the approval process of this project once it was determined the land in question was considered Public Reserve, which falls

under the jurisdiction of the Town of Snow Lake.” Another side of the story, and a thorough explanation of the work, came to light through a presentation by Koop during the Town’s June 21st regular meeting. Koop began his presentation by stating that it was not until after they had started the tree clearing that Golden Vista was informed that they should approach the Town of Snow Lake as well as Manitoba Conservation with their plans and reasoning… they did so via a letter on May 20th. In that letter they advised that they have recently had the land professionally surveyed and had encountered water drainage issues based on current landscaping and building layout.

“An old drainage ditch was dug out in the 1980’s, in between the building and the lake,” explained Koop. “This ditch was originally put in to drain spring melt

and heavy rain runoff, but now with the new shape of the land it has had zero effect. Also, it was full of dead fall and needed a good cleaning.” Koop said that Golden Vista approached the local Conservation Office, asking if they could get a permit to clear the trees in order to remedy the drainage problem and put new ditches in where they would be more effective. Koop said that in addition to the problems caused by erosion, there was a tremendous amount of garbage in the area, as well as piles of dry old growth that was a fire hazard. “Our plan was to clean this up, plant some new trees, make the front of our building very attractive and safe from any bush fires,” said Koop. “The permit was granted May 1, 2016 and we proceeded with what we thought was the legal route.” Continuing, the company President said that in order for them to address the erosion issue they requested permission to build a small rock wall to keep erosion at bay. “This wall is recommended in the Manitoba (Canada) Oceans and Fisheries Guide and is called the rip rap method,” said Koop. “At the same time, we would like to put a dock in, as some of the seniors have boats. For the water runoff from the north and south side of the building, we would like to create small ditches that would run into the current larger ditch.” He noted that this would involve very little digging to make the connection. They would then fill the ditches with proper and approved rock that would allow proper drainage. “To aid with getting the rocks into place we would like to create a crushed limestone pathway that would later be turned into a walking path for seniors to get to our dock with their wheel chairs or walkers,” said Koop. “We also can use this path to bring fi eld stones to build our rip rap rock wall.” Within his presentation, Koop provided photographs, survey

plans, illustrations, and legislation to augment his narrative and closed by stating, “Our goal is simply to maintain the natural beauty of our property and keep the shoreline from eroding away.” Asking for questions from council members, Koop answered several on elevations, landscaping, and engineering. However, one from Councilor Richard Jones seemed to consolidate the collective concern of the community. He asked why the ﬁgure of 25% removal of trees wasn’t followed. Koop explained what they encountered once on foot in the area: mature trees rotting from poor drainage, garbage, piles of dirt that remained from the original drainage project, and unencumbered erosion of the shoreline. He reiterated that when ﬁ nished, the area would be astatically like a park and that they had even gone so far as to retain the services of a horticulturist for future tree planting. Councilor Brenda Forsyth asked what the timeframe would be on getting the work done. With a chuckle, Koop stated that they have been currently stopped in their tracks, but could have much of the work accomplished by the end of the current summer and the erosion abatement wall would have to wait for the following summer. Councilor Richard Jones noted that the development would be on town land and wondered what would happen if someone other than a resident sat in the park or used the dock. Koop replied that it would be the same as any homeowner’s dock on the lake… “Common courtesy would rule,” he said. “We also would encourage people to use our park and visit the seniors in the building. That’s a wonderful thing.” Mayor Kim Stephens thanked Mr. Koop for attending and stated that the council looked forward to working with Golden Vista in bringing the plan to fruition. They approved the development via a unanimous resolution.

Mystery Lake School District Goes International

Nickel Belt News photo by Kacper Antoszewski A group of Mystery Lake School District staff have come together to participate in SchoolBox’s 2016 build project in Nicaragua. 12 teachers and administrators will be travelling to Leon, Nicaraqua on August 2, where they will spend 12 days helping to construct a two-classroom school to replace the community’s original, decommissioned school. The school, La Merced, will support 85 students between three teachers, from kindergarten to grade six. The total project cost is $38, 000 USD, or roughly $49, 300 CAD.

Student councils and youth social justice groups also contributed towards the project, altogether raising roughly $5000.

In a 1982 drawing, Larson dubbed the spikes at the end of a stegosaurusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail the â&#x20AC;&#x153;thagomizerâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is what paleontologists call the spikes today. â&#x20AC;˘ If you write the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;sunsâ&#x20AC;? upside down, it still says â&#x20AC;&#x153;suns.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ This election season might be a good time to resurrect the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;flapdoodler.â&#x20AC;?
