Tobacco prevention video project puts target audience in control

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Self-generated messages have more impact than those developed elsewhere when it comes to anti-smoking campaigns, according to a research project conducted with aboriginal students from Edmonton and the Northwest Territories.

The project, which took place in 2014, was funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) Pathways to Health Equity for Aboriginal Peoples initiative and led by Dr. Cindy Jardine, a professor

at the Centre for Health Promotion Studies in the University of Alberta’s School of Public Health.

“It’s better for them, I think, to not just be the recipients of messages from other people all the time but to have an opportunity to learn a bit about smoking and other things and to critically think through whether they want to take up smoking or not,” Jardine told the Nickel Belt News.

“We’ve also found that, at least for smaller communities, messages from kids are way more power-

ful than messages that come from official government agencies or from researchers or from anything else. People relate strongly to how kids see their environment and the messages that they put forward tend to be much more powerful in terms of changing behaviours.

So having something that comes from within the community and from their own kids is just way more relevant and ultimately more powerful in terms of getting them to see themselves though their kids’ eyes and to think about

changing behaviours.”

The project involved getting aboriginal high school students from two very different environments – a small school in the Northwest Territories with a Grade 9-12 cohort of just 14 students and from a large multi-ethnic school in Edmonton – to create their own short videos about tobacco, developing messages that resonated with their realities while learning the skills involved in making short fi lms. Jardine says one of the most rewarding aspects of the project

was seeing the impact continue after the funding ran out and the research was completed.

“One of the most frustrating things for researchers, being part of research, is that we have a project and we have funding and we go in and we do the research and then we leave and it’s done,” she said. “What we’re hoping to do is to start something that can keep going even after we’re not there anymore, that other people will pick up the torch and sort of move things forward and

we found that’s what’s happening even after our offi cial research funding was done, a lot of activities continued to happen and at the initiation of the community or of the youth themselves.”

That continued activity came in the form of students who took part in the project coming back to Jardine’s team and asking if they could use the video equipment again for other projects as well as helping the researchers share what the project had taught them.

Growing economy, infrastructure the key

Steve Ashton

MLA Report ashton@mts.net The Manitoba government is continuing to support families by growing the economy, by helping young people build rewarding careers in the province, protecting workers and investing in strategic infrastructure.

How successful is our strategy? Independent analysis conducted by the Conference Board of Canada forecasts Manitoba’s economy to grow by 2.8 per cent in 2015, and again in 2016 when the province is expected to lead the nation. This growth is directly tied to increased infrastructure investments in the public and private sector, as well as construction on new Manitoba Hydro projects.

Our strategy was evident during the session of the Legislature that adjourned at the end of June.

We began the spring session by tabling Budget 2015, which builds on our plan to deliver on the priorities of Manitoba families – more jobs, better roads, stronger services and more affordable child-care spaces. We also made progress on an ambitious legislative package that will create

more job opportunities, support families and young people, and protect workers, consumers and the environment.

Key bills among the legislation passed this session provide firstof-its-kind presumptive coverage for post-traumatic stress disorder to workers exposed to traumatic events on the job, establish a National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba, extend Manitoba Public Insurance benefits to cover full-time caregivers involved in fatal motor vehicle accidents and protect Manitoba families’ investments when they undertake home renovations.

We’re taking a balanced approach that invests in growing the economy and protecting front-line services. Instead of making reckless cuts that would hurt families and threaten jobs, we are continuing to focus on the things that families need like more affordable child-care spaces, improved health-care facilities and better roads.

There was also a time to reflect on the province’s history. A historic apology was made to survivors of the ‘60s Scoop, and the legislature recognized the 70th anniversary of VE-Day and the 25th anniversary of Elijah Harper’s stand against the Meech Lake Accord. Legislation was also passed to honour Manitoba-born hero Terry Fox by establishing the fi rst Monday in August as Terry Fox Day, A growing economy, investments in infrastructure and key public services. Priorities for Northern Manitobans. Top priorities for our government.

Finishing well This is my last article that I will be submitting to the Spiritual Thoughts column of the Nickel Belt News as pastor of Thompson Christian Centre Fellowship. The end of August marks the completion of 10 years of ministry here in Thompson and also a completion of almost 25 years of combined church and camp ministry in Northern Manitoba. My wife and I served as camp director with Simonhouse Bible Camp for 15 years and as pastor couple of Grace Church in Cranberry Portage for 10 ½ of those years.

It has always been my hope and desire to “fi nish well” no matter which phase of life I was completing. Now that I enter the retirement phase of life I recognize that the years remaining are quickly waning. How do you finish well in this phase of life? The apostle Paul gives us instructive insight in 2 Timothy 4:7,8: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”

This past Monday my wife and I attended the funeral service of a friend in Cranberry Portage. Darlene and her husband Bill were former pastor couple at Grace Church for many years and Darlene had served as head cook at Simonhouse Bible Camp for many years as well. From our fi rst encounter with Darlene upon their moving into Cranberry Portage in 1996 we were impressed with her spontaneity, contagious enthusiasm for life, her deep faith and love for Jesus and love for people. She lived with a twinkle in

Spiritual Thoughts christiancentre@mymts.net

Pastor Ted Goossen her eye and a resilient spirit that rose above the circumstances, challenges and pressures of daily living.

We only heard recently about her bout with cancer. By the time she was diagnosed the cancer had metastasized and there was no cure for her. Her untimely death was a shock to all who knew her. Darlene modelled what it means to “finish well.”

Darlene’s funeral service was a beautiful service. Darlene’s faith, love of life and sense of humour showed even in the planning of her funeral service. She had planned it out the week she died with her pastor Andrew MacGregor from Flin Flon Alliance Church. Darlene loved to sing and there was lots of singing led by Faith Krahn (wife of pastor Randall at Cornerstone Community Church). Darlene loved kids and she wanted a kids’ action song sung at the funeral. So we sang with all the actions: “Who’s the King of the Jungle - the sea, universe and me?” – the answer is J E S U S. Darlene wanted everyone who attended her funeral service to know about Jesus and to hear the Gospel (Good News) that Jesus Christ is the only One who can forgive us our sins and the only Way to heaven. Pastor Andrew gave a

clear presentation of God’s Good News of new life in Jesus. What a testimony of a life well-lived in concert with the Great Director of Life our Lord Jesus Christ.

It was great to reconnect with many people from Cranberry Portage. So many people we talked to remarked to us how Darlene had been such an example to their whole community of what it meant to be a believer in Jesus Christ. She had cared deeply for many people and been an encourager and mentor to many.

Darlene’s life and death was a good reminder of the brevity of life and how to “fi nish well.” As she told people who visited her in the hospital – “Don’t weep for me - it’s ‘win-win’ for me. If I am healed I win; If I die I go to be with Jesus.

Either way I win!” With her faith anchored in the trustworthiness of God and His Word she could face even the end of life with joy, anticipation and reach out in love to others with a desire for them to know the One who alone can give Life eternal and meaning to life.

May her example spur us on to “finish well.”

Charge upgraded to murder after Moose Lake assault victim dies of injuries

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A 23-year-old Moose Lake man has been charged with second-degree murder after an assault that led to a 62-year-old man’s death.

Earl Peter Audi Lathlin was initially charged with aggravated assault but was re-arrested July 8 and

charged with second-degree murder after the victim died in hospital. He was due to appear in court in The Pas on July 13.

Moose Lake RCMP responded to a residence in Crossing Bay in the early morning hours of July 3 to find the 62-year-old with serious injuries. He was transported to hospital

and investigation led the police to Lathlin who was arrested without incident. The victim was also a Moose Lake resident and he and Lathlin knew each other.

Winnipeg RCMP major and serious crime units and The Pas RCMP forensic identifi cation services are assisting the ongoing investigation.

Smoking rates down Continued from Page 1 “We have a handful of them that have continued to present the results at conferences with us and they stand up in front of international conferences and talk about how important it was for them to be part of this process, how important it was for them to start to understand some of their cultural identity, which they don’t get in a large school, and how it really gave them some confidence in their abilities and to want to do more with video or research or more education in the future,” Jardine says. “I think the most meaningful thing for us was when the kids in the school contacted us about a year later, asked if they could borrow the cameras again because they wanted to make their own video on bullying in the school and I thought, ‘That’s great. You’re taking all these video skills

and you’ve decided that you have other things that you want to make a message on and that it’s important to you to get that message out.’ We start with changing a few kids and giving them some confi dence in themselves and some reassurance that they have a voice and that other people will listen to that voice under the right circumstances. Then I think we start to foster a generation of stronger more self-sufficient youth.”

The process of making videos also helped the student participants to realize that healthy behaviours are not necessarily the things they see on TV but can include everyday activities from their own lives.

“We’ve actually taken that project and done some further videos with the kids up north,” says Jardine. “We went back a year later and did some

videos on physical activity and in conjunction with the community itself and the community wellness program, decided to have the kids do, not only things in their day-to-day school life that denoted physical activity, but to take videos during a summer culture camp that was held out on the land and ended up with some really amazing videos from that that sort of showcased that, from an indigenous perspective, physical activity doesn’t have to be western ideas of physical activity. It doesn’t have to mean going to the gym or taking up jogging or something else. If you’re an active person and actively doing things on the land in a traditional way that’s also being physically active and the kids really highlighted that. And the community was very proud of the video because it showed the activities that were important to

them and they were really proud of the fact that the kids were discovering this idea that doing traditional activities was also a way of staying healthy.”

Jardine, who conducted a similar project a few years ago in which students took photos of smoking in their community and compiled them into a book, said it’s heartening to see what’s changed over time, regardless of what precisely is driving that change.

“At that time most of the cohort of kids that we were working with actually smoked,” said Jardine. “I think we had 10 out of the 12 kids actually smoked in that video. And then we came back five years later and did it with a different cohort of kids and the ratios had completely reversed. There was only a couple of kids out of these 14 kids that smoked and the rest of them didn’t.”

Time for a new era of relations It is time for a new era of relations with Indigenous communities in Canada.

That has been the consistent message from our NDP caucus. That was Tom Mulcair’s message in an address to the Assembly of First Nations annual general assembly. We need to act to reduce poverty, improve educational outcomes and increase opportunities for northern and Aboriginal communities across Canada.

It’s time for a new era that embraces a true nation-to-nation rela-

MP Report Ashton.N@parl.gc.ca Niki Ashton tionship, built on respect and, above all, makes meaningful progress when it comes to bringing about change. A new era starts with listening and an understanding that “meaningful consultation

and accommodation” is important.

To get different results, we need a different approach and that starts with listening.

After too many decades of inaction and empty

promises we need to make progress on important issues such as First Nations education. We need action on housing and infrastructure. We need to call a national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women, as well as act upon the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission—beginning with its most pressing recommendations—in consultation with Indigenous communities.

It is time for a new relationship with Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Historic Herb Lake mural in place

The residents of Herb Lake Landing installed a stunning new mural this month, and unlike the one in the Lawrie Marsh Hall, this one is displayed proudly for all to see and enjoy.

Situated directly across from the Landing’s “Gathering Place,” the O’Toole original fresco is 24 feet long, eight feet high and beautifully depicts scenes from the area’s vast and rich heritage.

Commissioned by the community’s residents in 2014, the mural was drawn and painted under the creative hand of well-known northern artist Mike O’Toole.

Like the Landing’s residents, O’Toole reveres the area’s history and has an obvious respect for those from our past who worked hard to settle and develop the north.

He and wife Barb were on hand during a small community luncheon, last Friday, which served to unveil the mural for all to enjoy.

Originally from Moncton, New Brunswick, O’Toole has been painting since he was six years old; he appears

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Marc Jackson to be in his early 60s and has lived in The Pas for 35 years. He worked for Tolko from 1980 till 2003, painting in his leisure time and has taken a more active interest in his artwork since retirement.

O’Toole started painting murals in The Pas about 12 years ago and his work is visible throughout the community as well as in The Pas Library. His work is mostly wildlife and landscape, but it is obvious that he has a real talent for the “big picture.”

For the Herb Lake Landing mural, he worked from historic photographs supplied

by Jim Corman and Peter Dunlop. He painted these on primed “sign board” using acrylic paint and finished it with six coats of weather/

vandal guard. The mural took several months to complete, working at it for four or fi ve hours, every other day. He says that he really enjoyed painting the Landing Mural, as they gave him their ideas and free rein to depict them.

The fresco follows a transportation timeline featuring a steam engine making its way from The Pas to Wekusko Siding, a team of horses and wagon, which drove from the siding to Herb Lake Landing, boats that went from the landing to Herb Lake (Herb Town) in the summer, horses and a Bombardier in the winter, and the Laguna/Rex Mine, as well as a scene from Herb Town itself. Also featured are a couple of miners, a loon, and a walleye … as

Bryenton’s boat and Pete Durand and his boat are off to one side, as is a Bombardier owned by Corman and his brother Gilbert.

Corman explained that O’Toole didn’t let them see the painting until it was fi nished and that they were completely amazed and thoroughly pleased at what he had done.

Once it arrived at the landing, the mural sat in storage for several weeks before being placed. Early last month, several residents installed the painting at the “Gathering Place” under the careful guidance of Corman. They were: Jim Corman, Al MacDougall, Pete Roberts, Shaun Vincent, Fred Bridgeman, Brian Shapka, Dave Roberts, and Brad Spencer. Additionally, Wayne Huculak, a regional consultant for recreation and regional services, and Lori Forbes, an extension co-ordinator with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, worked with the community on the grant applications that funded the project, which included approximately $3,500 from the Heritage Grant Program and $2,500 from Hometown Manitoba.

Residents advise that people are welcome to come out and see the new mural at any reasonable hour and request that speed limits and the peaceful and pristine nature of Herb Lake Landing be respected.
