TICKETY BOO ATTITUDE: AN INTERVIEW WITH MADAME MINICH
By Dana P (Grade 11)
Mme. Minich has been a part of the WIC community for 24 years. During this time, she has taught many grades and courses, most predominately French as a Second Language Over these years, she has established herself as an invaluable teacher and community leader who will have lifelong influences on many of us
Over the course of this interview, I gained many insights into the life of Mme. Minich, who has taught me how to have a positive outlook on life, how to be more involved in the community, and has provided wisdom on how changing times is often more positive than not
We wish Mme. Minich all the best in her retirement and hope that she visits when she can
Like New York Times interviews, this interview has been edited and condensed from multiple conversations
Where did you grow up?
“I grew up in a little town called Vald'Or, Québec The translation of Vald'Or is valley of gold, and, basically, our main industry is gold mines.”
Did you grow up speaking French?
“Yes, everyone spoke French at my house.”
Growing up, Mme. Minich spoke three languages: English, French, and Russian Her mother was bilingual, French and English Her dad, on the other hand, spoke English and Russian with her.

Did you grow up with pets?
“Yes! Skipper was our first pet dog. We’d open the door, and he’d go off on his own He’d eventually come back We didn’t really take him for walks It was really weird. He’d just walk himself... I had been asking for a pet for a really long time. The neighbor’s dog gave birth to six or seven puppies, and they were trying to get rid of them. So, I begged and begged and begged my parents ”
Mme. Minich’s love of animals has not waned. Currently she has two dogs, Monkey and Bodhi, and three cats, Zippy, Mickey, Rooke, all of whom she spoils rotten She dedicates a lot of time to her pets, giving them one-onone time, play time, and plenty of time outside.
Mme Minich has taken in many rescue dogs over the years, including one who eventually needed a wheelchair due to her lameness She has a particularly soft spot for senior dogs, remarking that if she could take them all home, she would.
What were you like as a high school student?
“No one is going to believe this, but I was a very timid, shy student-- only because I was so much younger than everybody else. I skipped two grades –and they don’t skip anyone anymore- so when I got to high school, I was 12 years old And I was sitting in classrooms with 16 and 17year-olds, so it was very intimidating for me ”
What was your best subject?
“I loved math And, of course, I was always bilingual so that was never an issue. I went to an English school, so we took French as a second language So that for me was really, really easy, but, yeah, I loved math. I loved physics.”

What sports did you play as a kid?
“I lived across the street from a skating rink So, I would get home from school. I’d put on my skates, and I’d run across the street with my hockey stick. Got onto the rink and would be there until seven-eight o’clock. So, I learned how to skate really well, and I learned how to slap a puck by the age of nine I ended up joining a hockey team as the only girl and I always kept my hair short, so they thought I was a guy. But I was scoring too many goals, and I was too good. So, some of these people started talking, and when they found out I was a girl, they basically banded together to get rid of me Talk about discrimination ”
After that, she took up any sport she could including basketball, track and field (shotput, discus, and javelin), and bowling
“Looking back, if I had been born in a different era, I would have definitely been a professional hockey player ” Mme Minich was recruited to the University of Michigan for track and field, but a snowmobile accident caused her to decline the offer.
As a high school student, did you have any part-time jobs besides tutoring?
“I was a telephone operator. Long distance That was pretty cool I did that for seven consecutive summers ” What did you want to do when you grew up?
“I loved math and numbers so much that I thought I’d become an accountant, but I couldn’t live in an office with four walls I’m a people person.”
“I didn’t have a plan to be a teacher growing up I was going to be a doctor ” Mme Minich went to Dalhousie University after finishing Grade 13 in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, to avoid two years of Cegep in Québec. Her hockey years
How did you like Dalhousie?
“I am adventurous I like going places and doing different things I just wanted to go somewhere different ”
Many of the friends she made at Dalhousie were from the Maritimes, so for her breaks, she got to visit their hometowns Her friend from New Brunswick had a private plane, which she got to ride in.
How long have you lived in Calgary?
“Well, I arrived in 1992. I stayed for two years.”
After budget cuts, she left Alberta for Golden, British Columbia. There, she taught French Immersion kindergarten and then FSL/French Immersion Language Arts and math at the high school
“I really think that all teachers should teach kindergarten at least one year in their careers.”
She worked in Golden for seven years before moving back to Calgary to teach at WIC. The private system was a new adventure for her, having taught in the public system for 15 years but she transitioned seamlessly. What was your favorite class to teach?
“Variety for me is the spice of life, so I taught Phys. Ed., Math, French as a Second Language 10, 20, and 30 The FSL courses got condensed into one course the following year ”
She taught many other courses, but one of the most fun option courses was Practical Arts in which she taught students how to sew buttons on clothing, how to knit and crochet, how to change tires on cars, and many other skills. During the course, her class crocheted hats for premature babies in Africa.
“We learned how to shine shoes properly and did a fundraiser in the Hall of Nations. It was two dollars for anyone to have their shoes shined and we gave the money to charity ”
Although Practical Arts was fun, her favorite option course was Financial Literacy, where she taught students about credit, taxes, and investing. Financial Literacy is no longer an option course at WIC, but aspects of it are taught during Institute days and at Investment Club
Have you been a part of any clubs at WIC?
“I am the queen of ping pong at West Island College It started as a club, then we ended up having a team, and then we competed. One year, we won the senior trophy that we put in the trophy case for a year.”
The club started when Mme. Minich found an old ping pong table in storage. She advertised the club, and soon many kids joined. A generous family gave the school new tables, and the club lasted about 6 years As the club grew, a team formed Twice a year, there were tournaments in Edmonton. She would drive the bus up for the weekend.
What has been your highlight at WIC?
“There have been so many ”
WIC used to have the teacher of the year award. In Mme. Berezowski’s second year of teaching, she won the award In the two years leading up to this big moment, Mme. Minich and Mme. Berezowski hit it off really well. When Mme Berezowski was called up to the stage, she said she wanted to share the award with Mme. Minich.
“I was in shock ”
She went up on stage, held the plaque with Mme. Berezowski, and got her photo taken as one of the teachers of the year
What is on your bucket list?
Take a cruise with friends
Take a road trip to Québec to visit family and friends
Go to the Carnaval de Québec
Visit Prince Edward Island & Newfoundland & Labrador
What are your plans for retirement?
“I am waiting for my knee replacement, so I’m going to recuperate I am hoping to go on a cruise next.”
She also plans on purging her house of her old school supplies to make room for an office. Other plans include staying connected with WIC past and present colleagues and volunteering more at the Calgary Humane Society and a senior home.
Do you have any final advice for the students of WIC?
“I do. At the end of the day, after this nice long career of 39 years, I would say (a) be true to yourself, (b) take time to laugh, and (c) take time to do the things you love (don’t make it a race) Take time for yourself Take care of yourself. Smile and be kind, because you can’t judge a book by its cover You don’t know what people are going through. And, lastly, be respectful to yourself, to the people around you, to the environment.”
Some things we will remember Mme. Minich for, the short list:
Cool hair styles
Mme. Minich first rocked the short hair cut during “Shave your Lid for a Kid” cancer fundraiser event at WIC in 2001 Although no longer being held, many teachers and students would raise money with a reward of shaving their heads. She continued the hair cut to support her friend and former employee at WIC, Suanne Richardson, who had been diagnosed with cancer and has kept it ever since in her memory

Chair in Performance Center
During a donation fundraiser for the school, Performance Center chairs were being “sold” for $2500. Those who bought chairs would have their names and a few words written on the chair Mme. Minich ‘bought’ chair 11, because it is her favorite number On her chair reads “MINICH AS IN SPINACH, MAKING A DIFFERENCE.” Her philosophy is to make a difference, which is made evident through her impact at WIC.
Sports Banners
Mme. Minich coached many athletic teams at WIC including volleyball, basketball, and ping pong. With the Grade 7 Boys’ Volleyball team, she won the divisional championship banner, which is still hanging in the gym
WHY IS FICTION IMPORTANT AND HOW DOES IT IMPACT US TODAY?
by Tashi D (Grade 8)
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies,” wrote George R R Martin, author of Game of Thrones. Fiction has been a part of society for as long as we can remember, whether it's the old Greek myths or the new Spider-Man. The question is, how does fiction impact us, and why is it important for us to think about fiction? It isn’t just entertainment; the stories we read, hear, and watch can have deeper impacts on us than what we may be able to understand This can affect our perspective, emotions, and values
Firstly, fictional stories make you step into the shoes of someone else and see the challenges that they face Through stories, you will have a broader perspective and an increase in insight. Reading fiction improves social skills as well as emotional intelligence Fictional stories help you relate to others, which can make you try to understand problems around the world as you read about characters put into those situations.
Next, reading fiction will open your creativity and imagination. It will transport you into a completely different story and make you step outside of your comfort zone Creative stories can inspire you and help shape you into the person you want to become. There is a spark of curiosity in you and the many wonderful stories that you have read will expand your knowledge For example, Lord of the Rings transports you into a newly found world Sherlock Holmes teaches logical thinking skills, deduction, and analysis. And Jurassic Park makes you think about the ethics of cloning and sciences

It is clear that fiction has personal benefits, but what about society as a whole? Fiction can create awareness about sensitive topics or even start social movements Reading fiction is a thing you do in school practically from the first grade Though some people no longer read for fun, reading fiction benefits not only you, but society as a whole It helps you understand the emotional depths to people and can naturally increase your analytical and observational skills Fiction impacts the way you think about the world and what you can do to help it.
To conclude, fictional stories have been around forever, and they have impacted us as human beings and the society we live in It isn’t simply about the story being told but rather the way it can change you This is why it is vital that the world of fiction stays strong because a fictional world may one day completely change the real one.

SPRING ACTIVITIES IN CALGARY
by Lora H (Grade 7)
With the weather warming up and the snow melting, enjoying the outdoors is finally an option without having to face the brutal winter of Calgary Spring is knocking at the door, and this article is here to help you find out what to do. So, let’s look into some spring activities. Kicking it off with some water activities, Carburn Park, in the southeast, is a great place to paddleboard, kayak, and canoe The lake is usually not very busy, and if you don’t own anything like a kayak or paddleboard, you can rent one. The trees surrounding the park make for a nice view There are picnic tables and benches almost everywhere and an indoor public washroom On the busier side of things, Village Square Leisure Centre has a water park. They have water slides and a wave pool, so definitely consider coming here with some friends. If you get bored swimming, there are also lots of other facilities that you can explore such as an ice rink, gymnasium, and a weightroom
If you prefer to stay dry, things like Activate and laser tag are super fun options. Activate is the most fun with a group of friends, the max party being 5. If you live close to the southwest, there’s an Activate on Macleod Trail. In the north, there is also an Activate location near Sunridge Way.
There are so many different minigames and prizes you can unlock, and I really recommend that you try it. It’s around thirty dollars for an hour and a half. Kart racing is another popular activity If you just want to feel like you’re a character from Mario Kart, Speeders Chinook is a great place to start. The karts drive smoothly, the place is clean, and the workers are helpful, so try it out for yourself. For something more independent, you could go rock climbing. Rocky Mountains climbing center is huge, and there are so many different obstacles Even if it’s your first time, the staff are super helpful The rope guarantees that you won’t fall, and even if you do land awkwardly, the ground is soft enough to make sure you don’t hurt yourself.

Lastly, let’s talk about some parks and paths Griffith Woods Park is a great place to walk, run, or bike. In the opposite direction, you could go to Nose Hill Park in the northwest. This park is great in so many ways, and on nice days you have a beautiful view of downtown. Finally, Fish Creek Provincial Park is one of the largest urban parks in Canada. You could spend the entire day biking, walking, and picnicking It is so relaxing just to stroll and see the wildlife
Even if your spring isn’t filled with many plans, you can still have a great time in the coming season Spring is loved by many, but we can only hope for good weather to make the best out of the break. The days are getting longer, and you should make the most out of it

EMILIA PÉREZ: MUSICAL. DRAMA. DISASTER.
by Elle M (Grade 11)
The Grammys left everyone discussing their opinions on who deserved their award, who didn’t deserve it, and who they wished had won instead However, soon everyone’s attention will be drawn away from the Grammys and to the Oscars, but some people have already started this transition Many amazing movies came out this year including Dune: Part Two, Anora, Challengers, Nosferatu, Wicked, and so many others
One movie that was not often mentioned in conversations pertaining to this topic was Emilia Pérez A short summary of the film from IMDb reads, “Emilia Pérez follows three remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness Cartel leader Emilia enlists unappreciated lawyer Rita to help fake her death so that she can finally live authentically as her true self ”
The main two issues that people found with this movie is that it has poor representation and hurtful stereotypes of both Mexico and the transgender community The director of the film, Jacques Audiard who, for context is a cisgender white man, portrays this movie in a very clearly biased light
Overall, Emilia Pérez has received eleven BAFTA award nominations, thirteen Academy award nominations, and took home four Golden Globes So why is this movie so controversial?
AP News remarked, “Moviegoers in Mexico likewise weren’t impressed, taking issue with the film’s jumble of Spanish accents, its simplistic treatment of drug violence in the country and what some described as pervasive inauthenticity ” In addition to these critiques, many agreed that Audiard didn’t educate himself on the history of Mexico when making this film. Instead, he made it with a view of Mexico that has been created through prejudice in media that often presents Mexico and its people as violent and troubled
Mexican film critic, Ricardo Gallegos Ramos, responded to the movie with his own review saying, "It's incredible because somehow the film has united Mexico everyone hates it Everyone [in Mexico] is inviting you to not go to the movie theatre: Please, don't support this movie " For example, one of the songs, ‘Papa’ in Emilia Pérez has been criticized for its disrespect that clearly comes from a Westernized view of Mexico
In the lyrics the character sings, “You smell like spicy food, spicy spicy Mezcal and guacamole ” To add to the outrage, Audiard admitted to not doing research prior to the film. In an interview at the 2024 Morelia Film Festival, Audiard commented, "No, I didn't study that much. I already knew a little about what I needed to understand "
In addition to Audiard’s lack of research on Mexican history, he also lacked knowledge on the transgender community The GLAAD Awards completely banned Emilia Pérez from the nominations for the inaccurate LGBTQ representation and asked audiences to avoid going to see the movie altogether
In a CBC News article, Jackson Weaver quoted a non-binary movie critic saying that the movie “almost perversely centres physical change managing to be both carnivalesque in how it presents the most private aspects of a transgender person's body, while being wholly incurious about their inner lives.” An example of this is in the song, “La Vaginoplastia” which seems to mock genderaffirming surgery with lyrics such as,
“I'd like to know about sex change operation, I see, I see, I see Man to woman or woman to man? Man to woman from penis to vagina ” as well as,
“A man to woman (Vaginoplasty makes this macho stand) A woman to man
A man to woman (Vaginoplasty a las chicas, tú)”
Many people also argue that this film bulldozed over other movies that show a more positive representation of the LGBTQ community.
For example, Peter Knegt mentions in his CBC News article, “If Oscar voters or voters of any of the million different awards of the season really want to celebrate trans identity, they should consider two truly exceptional films actually by trans filmmakers, which came out this year: Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow and Vera Drew's The People's Joker. Both are bold and visionary in ways Emilia Pérez could only wish to be, and both are exciting examples of a burgeoning trans cinema that deserves to be recognized ”
In conclusion, though Emilia Perez has managed to gain a significant amount of award season buzz, it is essential to remember the importance of consuming art with a critical eye This film, for its many accolades, fails to accurately represent the character’s dual identity of being both transgender and Mexican in a way that is not harmful. Instead, the movie serves as not only a caricature but also as a cautionary tale of what can happen when someone tries to depict the experiences of marginalized groups without approaching the subject with nuance and care

THE 2025 GRAMMY AWARDS
By: Neva K (Grade 10) & Abby B (Grade 10)
This year, the 67th annual Grammy Awards, held on February 2nd in Los Angelos, was considered a showstopper. With major winners such as Beyoncé winning Album of The Year, Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us” taking home numerous awards, and Chappell Roan being celebrated with the award for Best New Artist, individuals from all around the world were watching After a fifteen-year losing streak, Beyoncé finally brought home one of the top prizes from her country-infused LP, Cowboy Carter, which won for Best Album and Country Album Despite her prior 32 Grammy Awards, the most awards in all of history and her 99 nominations, Beyonce was waiting for the moment when she won the Best Album Award
Following this, Kendrick Lamar -- an original Compton artist –exemplified the intellectual aspect of his music, especially considering the arguments that had been previously shared with Drake , catching the attention of the world. Kendrick stated that the song represented his energy and the type of man that he is. The song was also meant as an insult against lyrics and statements made by Drake in the past.
Meanwhile, Chappell Roan took home the New Artist Prize with “Pink Pony Club”, and “Good Luck, Babe!” -- two pop songs that were hits amongst all ages. Chappell Roan released her first song, “Die Young” in November 2014, and her new 2023 debut album was listed on the Billboard Hot 100, providing her with an outstanding opportunity to become a top artist. Additionally, Chappell Roan continues to serve as a mainstream representation for the LGBTQ+ community
The Grammys this year had some astounding performances by many talented musicians The performances ranged from pop acts like Sabrina Carpenter, to R&B and rap by Doechii. Seven of the eight Best New Artist nominees were among the many performers, which included both Sabrina Carpenter and Doechii, as well as Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Raye, Shaboozey, and Teddy Swims
Some of the other popular performers included Charli XCX who performed her hit songs “Von Sutch” and “Guess”. Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and Shakira also made an appearance at the event. The awards this year included a special tribute to Quincy Jones, with performances by Stevie Wonder, Janelle Monáe, Cynthia Erivo, and Herbie Hancock In between performances, Will Smith came up to the stage and delivered a heartfelt speech about Jones’ relationship with him on the set of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". Another artist that was also recognized was Liam Payne, one of the ex-members of the band One Direction. Coldplay performed their song “All My Love” to honor Payne.
Additionally, the awards seemed to carry an abundance of historical information and facts not publicly known to the audience.
Firstly, the very first Grammys were held on May 4 th , 1959, where the first Album of The Year winner was Henry Mancini for “The Music from Peter Gun”. Secondly, the youngest winner of the Grammy Awards was Leah Peasall of the Peasall Sisters winning at age eight for her contributions to the “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” soundtrack in 2001. On the other hand, Pinetop Perkins won at age ninety-seven as a blues musician making him the oldest winner in history. Lastly, the original Grammy Awards were called the Gramophone Awards as the trophies were designed to look like gramophones However, this idea was not in place for a while and the name eventually changed to the Grammy Awards.
In conclusion, the 2025 Grammys were most certainly an all-around success From Beyoncé securing the coveted Album of The Year award, to fundraisers helping to support the Los Angeles fire relief efforts, to Taylor Swift sporting Janelle Monáe’s jacket after her rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”, it’s safe to say that the celebration of both music and artists could not have gone any better.
