Moose and Fiddle should be on your calendar
The band Hay Fever kicked off Saturday's schedule with a
banjo, bass, guitar, and fiddle of course - all from their
Prairie homeland.
Among the delicious options for eating were some BBQ Filipino pork skewers from Stan-wiches in Winnipeg, a
favourite among the crowd.
Brock and Karen Blosser learned the art of carving in the
Austrian alps, but find plenty of inspiration in their hometown of Kenora.
Gwen Watson and Barry Watson (on either end) came, along
with Barb Bowen, from Winnipeg to brave the rain and
watch their daughter perform with the Fu Fu Chi Chi Choir.
Although she's small, Steph Cameron, held her own against
the winds. Her talent and sweet southern style warmed the
audiences' bones.
Caliper Lake's beautiful backdrop complimented the a great
showcase of artistry: in music, food, and handcrafted goods.
One of Steph Cameron's sassier tunes inspired a good old
fashioned conga line.
Jorja, Abby, Owen, Kyson, Caila, and Mason were a lively,
mixed group of locals and visitors alike.

Low-income families
opened eyes of
medical student
By Lita Cameron
As a medical student at
Toronto's Hospital for Sick
Children (SickKids), I saw
first-hand the lives and healthcare needs of low-income families in Toronto. Seeing those
families helped me recognize
how societal factors affect their
well-being.
In the social paediatrics
course I was taking, I worked
to improve the health of children of young parents, in clinics with multi-disciplinary
teams. There were times when
I felt overwhelmed by the incredible number of obstacles
these families face.
I met a teenage mother raising
her baby in a shelter; I met a
refugee who found creative
ways to feed herself and her
child on $200 a month after escaping an abusive relationship.
I learned the source of significant weight loss for a very
young teen mother was because
her paycheque was used to feed
her extended family, not herself.
30% of kids in Toronto are
from low-income families
The Toronto Children's Aid
Society recently published a report saying that 30 per cent of
children in Toronto are from
low-income families. That
means almost 146,000 children
are growing up in low-income
families in Toronto, facing
higher risks for almost every
kind of illness and disease.
When a doctor regularly
meets patients who face
poverty, food insecurity, lack of
safe housing, and psychosocial
stressors, it reinforces the necessity to ask about their social
and living conditions.
We don't know unless we ask.
And we don't ask unless we understand the reality of those living in poverty. I was reminded
of this after meeting children
and mothers who have experienced physical and emotional
abuse, for example. And after
meeting families who might
not have insurance or access to
government subsidies for medications, lotions or treatments.
In these instances, asking questions regarding safety and income becomes paramount.
By the end of medical school,
students should have a good
understanding of what public
health experts call the social
determinants of health. I was
reminded of this on a daily
basis during this course.
I saw countless examples of
strength and resilience as well
as the power of acts of generosity. This may not be a part of
the physiology we study, but it
plays a significant role in health
and healing. I realized why an
understanding of the social
conditions of our patients
should shape our approach to
health and healthcare.
But it can be a challenge for
medical students and residents
to translate our knowledge of
the social determinants of
health into our practice.
Medical schools teach a lot
about patient-centered care.
But there is a need for more exposure to the daily struggles of
disadvantaged families. There
is also a need to integrate patient advocacy into medicine in
order to learn practical ways to
create meaningful change.
This means providing treatment options that are feasible,
affordable and practical for
families. It requires insight into
food and housing insecurity
and how poverty may manifest
as illness or present challenges
to adhere to treatment.
Doctors as advocates
My time at SickKids also
gave me some insight into the
dedication of community organizations and allied health
professionals in addressing
unmet needs on individual,
community and policy levels.
I wish more of my fellow
medical students could share
this experience. Being immersed in a culture of medical
practice where a deep understanding of the experiences of
marginalized groups influences
not only the questions asked,
but also the treatment strategy
and approach.
Many of my peers in social
paediatrics have helped me understand a doctor's role as an
advocate - how to address injustice within the health-care
system and ways to design a
medical practice to see health
beyond illness. Social determinants of health are no longer an
abstract concept.

Moos by Kim Jo Bliss
This is what happens after
the Emo Fair is over – fall arrives! Maybe it is just giving
us a quick reminder that it is
approaching but it sure doesn’t
feel that great. I am looking
forward to a few more months
of good weather and we certainly have work to do that requires a few sunny days.
We started combining last
week and the days that we
were able to harvest things
went well. Then the rain arrived mid-week and we were
all ready to go again by Friday
but rain put an end to those
plans as well. Of course, I am
starting to get anxious since
this is my last week for students. I can’t imagine the
work we could accomplish if
the weather cooperated. Since
the weather didn’t cooperate
the students tackled the job of
cleaning the winter wheat and
we were pleasantly surprised
with an average of 66 bushel
to the acre. I cross my fingers
that we can tackle the next trials that are patiently waiting
for the sun to return this week
before Nick and Dest make
their way back to school.
We finished the 2015 Fall
Fair last week by cleaning up
the fairgrounds and barns on
Monday night and then Tuesday we viewed the 4-H steercarcasses. Congratulations to
the top carcasses; Timothy
Rempel, Andrea Schram,
Avery Cates, Brett Schram,
Anysley Williams, Leroy
Rempel & Logan Teeple.
They were all awarded cash
prizes donated by John Rafferty. The Rainy River Hereford Association will award
Avery Cates with the top Hereford Carcass at the 4-H
Awards night. The Rainy
River Feeder Finance Association will also award a member at the 4-H Awards night
with a carcass award as well
and the winner will not be announced until that time. A big

It must be getting close to
Labour Day. You can tell by
the damp, gloomy cold days
that seemed to be plaguing our
area over the weekend. It feels
like its time to start looking for
the furnace thermostat.
Speaking of furnaces we
would like to acknowledge
Rick Berry for his volunteer
work on our cooling/heating
systems. We would also like
to commend Marjorie for her
Hong Kong display and its
history.
This Friday the Meat Draw

a Wally Burger consisting of a

There was a lot of celebrating happening over the weekend.
Ken McKinnon
celebrated his 80th birthday
and his family hosted a wonderful party for him. Ken has
spent countless hours volunteering in our community and
has accomplished plenty for
our district. We wish him
many more happy years! Hailey Heyens married her best
friend James and Stratton had
a fun night of celebrating with
a great couple and great band
“The Night Hawks!” Hailey’s
celebration also included 50th
birthday wishes for her dad –
“Ted!” Destiny my summer
student turned 20! And if you
see Marg from Rainy River
Meats – wish her a Happy
Birthday as well.
Bill Darby has been working
countless hours for the Rainy
River Regional Abattoir and
the latest project includes
making a video that we will
use for crowd funding. The
video is really taking shape
and stay tuned for its release
soon. It includes some great
scenes for the great district of
ours.
Maddie and Marlee are in the
latest issue of “More of Our
Canada!” I submitted the
photo sometime last year but
just got word that they were
using the photo this year! The
girls have changed a lot since
the time the photo was taken
but its them just the same.
The girls were out over the
weekend to practice again with
their fair cows. They are
pretty set on heading to Dryden with animals. We will see
how Auntie Kimmie can figure out how to combine plots,
attend cattle sale and get the
girls to Dryden with their
cows….

where you can listen to good

It's local craft beer and food

indulge in the pleasure of being

Union Duke brings the Barn down
but otherwise keeps to himself
and his kick drum. He's the
great equalizer: filling out and
jazzing up the low end of
things against the assortment of
treble instruments. He is the
calm beside the storm that is
the percussionist. It's his reserved demeanour that makes
me think he might be smarter
than the rest of them. I get confirmation of this from at least
one band member later on.
The banjo player on the far
right never, not once, speaks
into the microphone but laughs
at all the jokes. I immediately
think he must be in charge of finance - the one who has to regulate the budget and the
amount of guacamole these
guys order on the road. But his
instrument is as lively as the
next guy in songs like "On the
Hunt". It's just one (of many)
examples of how this guy can
really play - first class.
The whole evening was fast
paced and over too soon. The
band give the impression that
they genuinely like their own
songs, which makes it conta-
gious. While the band members
are noteworthy for their talent
alone, their stage presence is
everything. Their music is a
real hootenanny, with enough
light-hearted encouragement to
get some listeners up and
square dancing by the end of
the night.
Next time that Union Duke
plays at the Cornell Barn,
forego the chairs altogether.
This is the kind of music we
need to dance to.
Point Dock on its way out
Pic L to R: Will Staunton, Matt Warry-Smith, Ethan Smith, Rob McLaren and Jim McDonald are Union Duke, making you second guess everything you thought about folk music
coming out of Toronto.
by Melissa Friesen
It was a foot-stompin' good
time at the Cornell Barn last
night, only a fraction of which
I'll blame on the harsh cold
that swept in. I came in late, as
is my horrible habit of doing,
but just in time to see the end
of Kenneth Kellar and Ben
Sletmoen's set.
Union Duke showed up casually later than me with beers
in their pockets and smiles on
their faces, as if they had a secret to tell. Earlier in the day,
just an hour or so outside of
Thunder Bay, their trailer got
a flat tire. Normally, this is the
kind of situation where lead
singer Ethan Smith gets to be
the hero - he's apparently
very mechanically inclined.
But, in a puzzling and freakish
nightmare, the spare tire didn't
fit at all.
Their misfortune was our
good inheritance as we listened to a few extra pieces
from Kenneth and Ben. Kim
Cornell took to the stage to remind us why we were there.
It's the 100th anniversary of
the building of the barn. "One
great-grandfather built the
barn, the other great-grandfather sawed all the lumber for
it." Kim garnered appreciation
from the audience at that realization of such rich history.
He tells us there are not
many of these timber frame
barns left, but we're mostly
just glad for the space that it is
for us to listen to good music.
But it really is an amazing historical piece of antique architecture. "There's not a nail in
the frame of these barns. It's
all pinned and dowelled together." In 2003, Kim fixed
the foundation, "like a stubborn farmer", all on his own.
Now his great-grandfather's
legacy is thriving and regarded by all who attend a
barn concert. With a sturdy
foundation, the barn was ready
for the live energy of this
young band.
The entire night was a juxtaposition of old and new. This
100 year old barn had the
sound system controlled by
an expert on an iPad. The band
itself gets their sound from a
mix of old time-y music with
a robust interpretation.
I mean it like this: sweet and
sad country folk love songs in
a folk quintet featuring (but
not limited to) bass, hi-hat
stand, acoustic guitar, fiddle,
banjo,
tambourine,
and
pleeeenty of personality.
The percussionist is the quintessential wild card. He's the
heaviest drinker on stage, the
smallest and the funniest
member. Lucky for us, he's not
tucked in the back. He's the
one unapologetically hooting
and hollering during the song
when it just feels right. And
you know what? It does feel
right, every time. He wins over
the hearts of the audience
when he jokes about leading
us through some 'light meditation' while the rest of the band
sets up. But it's when he sings
the line, "You found yourself a
tall man. He might be taller
but he's coming up short on
charm", that makes me smile
the most.
To his left is the lead singer
and acoustic guitar player who
has this slight curl thing in his
hair that makes me think of
Elvis. Sure enough, there are
moments when he's sliding
through notes in his lower register that I think I can hear
buttery goodness. And when
the band starts playing "A Little More", the smooth harmonies make the audience feel
some type of way.
Moving down the line, the
electric guitarist/fiddler has
the softest and purest voice of
the 3 leading singers. In a particularly fitting setting, he
bursts into "Quit This Town"
to 'buy back the farm that has
my name'. It's impossibly fast
guitar playing for him and
compulsive toe-tapping for the
rest of us. His fiddle and guitar
highlights are some of the
best surprises of the night.
The bassist has that cool, apathetic lean that all the bass
players do. He only speaks
into the microphone occasionally to add some witty banter

Senior's
Fair
coming
up
Registrations are now being
accepted for the Seniors Fair
which is being held on Friday,
September 18 at the Sister
Kennedy Senior Centre in Fort
Frances. To register call the
Sister Kennedy Centre at 2747656, drop in to the Centre at
401 Nelson Street or phone the
Memorial Sports Centre at
274-4561.
Although there is no cost to
attend the Seniors Fair organizers will need to know numbers in order to arrange
catering and transportation.
Transportation is being provided at no cost for individuals
who will need a ride to the
Centre.
When they register people
will be asked their name and
phone number and to indicate
if they need a ride or not. Individuals who need transportation will be called back so that
pick-up arrangements can be
made. The registration deadline is September 15.
A very interesting day is
being planned. Participants
will be welcomed at 9 am with
a wholesome coffee break. A
presentation on Seniors and
Medication will be offered at
10 followed by a presentation
on Wills, Estate Planning and
Power of Attorney at 11. Following lunch there will be a
presentation on Seniors and
Mental Health and one on Nutrition for Seniors.
Each participant will receive
a grab bag and there will be attendance
prizes
drawn
throughout the day. In addition, everyone will receive a
copy of the Seniors Community Directory which is being
developed.
Funding for the Fair and development of the Directory
was obtained by the Sister
Kennedy Senior Centre
through a grant from the Ontario Seniors Secretariat.

happy
ular side in the press. I can
still get caught up in an opinion because emotion can take
over, but then I will attempt to
stop and hear a little bit more
of the other side. In a way,
every side has its own justification. Underneath the core of
it, there's always some kernel
of validity to everything. In
terms of my art, it taught me
that there is no bad idea. What
happens is a lot of people get
an idea and think it's silly and
that's the end of it. No idea is
silly, you just have to roll with
it and see it develop. It let my
art happen a little more rather
than having to control it. Art
always speaks something. I've
learned to be in touch with
that.
10. What advice would give
you to someone who's older
and thinks they might like to
go to university?
I say just go and do it! I hear
lots of people say those kinds
of things. I always said, 'I'd
like to do this, but. . .' Everyone can have an ultimate obstacle that truly stands in the
way, however for most people
I think the 'but' is superficial.
People say, 'I'm too old.' Well
what does 'too old' mean? Are
you too old to sit in a class?
Too old to write an essay? I
think they really mean, 'I won't
fit.' Well, you will with some
people and you won't with
some people, but that's just
like life all the time. If you
want it, it's not about fitting,
it's about going and doing and
once you do, you become one
of the people. But you have to
commit. It's going to take a lot
of time. I was willing to pay
that price and my wife was
willing to accept that. There's
always going to be a sacrifice,
but is it really a sacrifice if you
get to do what you love to do?
Bill and Nina now call
Nestor Falls home after moving from Winnipeg a few years
ago. Bill spends his time at
home making art, and doesn't
think he'll go back to school
for a Masters degree.

8. Describe the typical young
university student from your
perspective.
Everyone is an individual, so
they're just like any other
group of people. However, a
lot of people are 18 years old
when they first start and if we
would have an assignment due
with
months notice, they
would write the essay the night
before it was due and pull an
'all nighter' after coming home
from a party. And then 2 years
later, these same people, the
ones who were still there, and
say things like, 'You know my
friends called and said they
were going to have a party on
Saturday. But how can they
say that? I've got all this university work to do!' The ones
who were still there had to
change their perception. The
thing about university is that
you don't have your teachers
standing over you constantly.
They treat people as adults.
'Here's the assignment. Here's
the deadline. Goodbye.' It's
kind of the way of the world.
They develop a different work
ethic, which is nice to see.
9. It's been almost a decade
since you graduated, how has
it affected your life or your artwork?
It's affected my life hugely in
that it encouraged me to look
at multiple sides of an issue,
instead of just taking the pop-
come and live at the island
where the camp is. Nina
would come out every second
weekend or so. And I'd do the
same. We shuffled back and
forth. It was good for our relationship. We made it work.
5. Do you remember the first
day of school?
On the first day I was actually a half hour late because I
thought we were supposed to
start at 8:30 and it was actually 8! I walked into this class
with all these people and I didn't know one soul. Everybody
was looking at me, but I just
kind of went in anyway. I met
a fellow that morning and we
hit it off right away. He was 10
years younger than me but he
was still quite an adult as opposed to the other people and
we just connected. He became
my school buddy throughout
the whole thing. Unfortunately we've lost contact, but
it was a special relationship
because we were there for
each other.
6. What was your experience
on campus like?
It just energized me. It made
me feel like anything was possible. I looked forward to
going there every day because
I wanted to immerse myself in
that energy. It's an illusion because I would feel it when I
would cross from 'the world'
and onto this road that entered
into campus. It's like moving
into this bubble because it's
not the reality of the whole
world and being 50 something
I knew that, so I didn't have
any big illusions. But at the
same time it was great to just
go and. . .
7. . . . Escape?
No, not escape. It was more
like I would get replenished
with the energy. I was able to
take the really positive elements and temper that with
my maturity and life experience. For me it didn't matter; I
didn't have to go out and get a
job afterwards. So there wasn't
this kind of false sense of,
'Well I have a university de-

Distractions are sometimes good for learning
By Michael Zwaagstra
Most teachers and students
know the conventional do's
and don'ts of proper studying
habits. For example, students
should find a quiet environment free of distractions. Don't
play any background music,
and don't let your mind wander. And, above all, don't stop
working when you are making
good progress.
These do's and don'ts exist
because conventional wisdom
has it that distractions are bad
for learning. For a long time,
this made intuitive sense and
fit my notions about proper
learning. But then I began to
realize something: it didn't always match my own work
habits or my experiences with
students.
In fact, I've found that I often
do my best work when I start
and stop frequently. For example, when writing a column,
like this one, I will often stop
to check Facebook or surf the
internet for a few minutes.
Then I get up and walk around
and mull things over in my
mind.
These interruptions happen
most frequently when I'm right
in the middle of a critical point
of my work. And yet somehow
I always manage to finish my
columns on time and to an appropriate standard. Either I
never learned how to work
properly or something is
wrong with the notion that distractions are always bad.
It turns out that my gradually
shifting views about the merits
of distraction now have significant scientific support. A new
book by New York Times science reporter Benedict Carey
does an excellent job of skewering many of the most common misconceptions about
learning. How We Learn summarizes the research findings
of cognitive psychology and
applies them to everyday life.
For example, Carey describes an experiment that
compared students who studied for a test in a quiet room
versus those who studied with
jazz or Mozart playing in the
background. Surprisingly, students who studied in the quiet
environment did worse on the
tests.
Carey suggests that music
and other background noises
can actually enrich the study
environment as students form
valuable associations that help
them remember the material.
Apparently, it is possible for
students to study effectively
and listen to their iPods at the
same time.
Even interruptions may not
be as bad as previously
thought. Carey describes a
major experimental study in
which 164 students and teach-
ers were given a series of short
tasks to complete. However,
instead of letting them proceed
without
distraction,
researchers interrupted the participants at random intervals
before they could finish some
of their tasks. After the time
was up, participants were then
asked to list as many of the
tasks as they could remember.
Researchers were surprised
to discover that participants remembered the interrupted
tasks with almost twice the
frequency as the uninterrupted
tasks. Apparently, something
about being interrupted caused
participants to remember that
task more vividly. This was
particularly true when the interruptions took place when
participants were most engrossed in the task at hand. In
other words, one of the best
ways to remember a task is to
be interrupted right when you
are in the middle of it.
According to Carey, interrupting our work at a critical
moment and letting it percolate in our minds can help with
the learning process. Carey explains that when we stop in the
middle of a difficult problem
and do something else for a
while, we give our brains the
opportunity to ponder it further and look for alternative
solutions. So maybe it isn't the
end of the world when a stu-
dent responds to a text message
or walks around the classroom
for a moment before moving on
to the next math problem.
There is, however, one important caveat. It is one thing for
students to briefly distract
themselves; it is another thing
entirely when they are regularly distracted by the actions
of others. Some distractions
make it difficult to concentrate
and are very bad for learning.
As a result, teachers must still
remain in control of their classrooms and provide students
with a focused learning environment.
A balanced approach is
needed. Students deserve a
learning environment that is
structured and flexible. Some
distractions are good for learning while others are not. It's
time to update the standard do's
and don'ts of proper studying to
reflect the findings of modern
cognitive science.

$5,500 in fines for illegal big game hunt
Three men have been fined a
total of $5,500 for an illegal
moose hunt.
Lon Danielson, of Stuart,
Florida, pleaded guilty and was
fined $1,500 for shooting a
moose from a motorboat and
$1,000 for providing false or
misleading information to a
conservation officer. He is not
allowed to hunt in Ontario for
one year.
Gordon K. Macdonald, of
Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin,
pleaded guilty and was fined
$500 for providing false or
misleading information to a
conservation officer.
Clarence Thomas of Whitefish Bay was fined $1,500 for
shooting a moose from a motorboat and $1,000 for transporting illegally-killed wildlife.
Although he did not shoot the
moose himself, Thomas operated the motorboat so that another could, making him a
party to the act.
Court heard that on October
16, 2014, officers contacted the
men during a routine patrol.
Upon investigating, officers
discovered that Thomas had
been contracted by Danielson
and Macdonald to be their
moose hunting guide. As their
guide, Thomas had driven the
two men by motorboat to Aldous Bay in Lac Seul the day
before. When the three men
saw a moose onshore, Thomas
told the hunters to shoot it and
Danielson did. Danielson and
Macdonald provided false information to officers, saying
they were onshore when the
moose was shot. The moose
was seized and forfeited to the
Crown. Danielson's rifle was
seized and will be returned
upon payment of fines.
Justice of the Peace Danalyn
MacKinnon heard the case for
Danielson and Macdonald in
the Ontario Court of Justice,
Dryden, on April 2, 2015, and
sentenced them on July 23,
2015, in the same court.
Thomas was tried in absentia
and sentenced in the Ontario
Court of Justice, Dryden, by
Justice of the Peace Tom Logan
on August 6, 2015.
The ministry reminds hunters
that it is illegal to discharge a
firearm from a vehicle or motorboat. Laws regarding the use
of firearms are in place for the
protection and safety of hunters
and members of the public.
To report a natural resources
violation, call the MNRF TIPS
line at 1-877-847-7667 toll-free
any time or contact your local
ministry office during regular
business hours. You can also

Ride for Memories goes
all in and wins
by Melissa Friesen
This Saturday, bikers from
across the region suited up and
hit the road to show their support of the Kenora/Rainy
River District Alzheimer Society. It was the 13th annual
Ride for Memories event, lasting all day and ending in
Kenora for a steak dinner.
The event was a poker derby.
The more money a person
fundraised, the more poker
hands he got at the beginning.
That translated to a better
chance at winning a prize at
the end of the night. "For the
first $50 the participants
raised, they got 1 poker hand,
and every hundred dollars
after that they got another. So
some had 2 hands, some had 5.
The more money you [brought
in], the more hands you got,
and whoever had the best hand
won a prize." Mack Hall is
working in his first year as
Marketing and Events Co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society. Although he wasn't sure
exactly what the grand prize
was, it was certainly something pretty spectacular, "I believe it was an overnight stay
at Totem Lodge."
The riders departed around 9
am from their respective
towns. Representatives from
Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances,
and Sioux Narrows were all
present. After meeting in
Sioux Narrows for lunch, they
continued on with the ride
even though the weather could
have been nicer. "The rain affected it a bit, but some of the
tario.
The Alzheimer Society already has plans to make the
next event even better for the
bikers. "We're thinking about
giving out pins next year. We
sold t-shirts and hoodies this
year. A couple of the bikers
were asking about pins because they wear their jackets
and get pins and patches from
other riding events."
Next year's dinner is planned
to be in Fort Frances, so even
if you're not exactly the biking
kind, you can always buy a
ticket for the steak dinner.
As for the funds raised, they
stay active in the community.
The Alzheimer Society is a
non-profit organization receiving 45% of their funding from
the government. The rest of
the money comes from events
and campaigns like Ride for
Memories. The money supports community awareness
and resources for clients and
family to learn about
Alzheimer's disease or dementia. According the the
Alzheimer Society's website,
there are more than 1,000 people living in the area with
some form of dementia - with
an increasing demand for services.
While the funds are certainly
a blessing for the families who
need the resources, or will in
the future, the event itself is
fun for everyone. "Everyone
seemed to have a great time.
We're very thankful for everyone who came out."
riders drove out to West Hawk
Lake and then back to Kenora
for a steak dinner." Once they
arrived back in Kenora, they
were rewarded with a steak
dinner, dessert, and raffle
prizes. After a full day of
driving through some gorgeous countryside, the participants could enjoy the fruit of
their labour. The 100 or so
people who attended the dinner were responsible for bringing
in
approximately
$40,000.00 for the Alzheimer
Society. Although Hall didn't
have the exact number, it was
clear this year's event was a
good one to start his career
with. "It was one of the most
successful ones, for sure," said
Mack.
When asked about the reasons for increased fundraising
efforts, he speculated it might
have something to do with
their advertising approach.
"We focused a little more on
social media this year. I think
that helped a lot."
This event has become the
organization's
biggest
fundraiser over the last 13
years. What's particularly special about it is that it's entirely
unique to the area. Each district is responsible for creating
and organizing their own
fundraising events, and this
one just happens to capitalize
on some of our land's best assets. I imagine there must not
be hardly anything better than
traveling in a convoy of
friends through the winding
roads of Northwestern On-

CanAsian is more than
food, it's family
Babelyn Bonwick and Arlene Bayle are happy to be a part of the family business.
by Melissa Friesen
I walked into the new
CanAsian Family Restaurant
from yesterday's dampness
having just eaten lunch and not
at all hungry. That was a
shame because the menu's
Thai and Filipino food was
speaking to me. It was late afternoon and there were some
tables hosting guests and take
out customerswaiting for their
meals. I sat at the counter and
Arlene greeted me immediately with a sweet sincerity
that suggested she really was
happy to see me. Within a
minute I had hot chai spice tea
brewing in a pot beside me,
curing me of all the cold I felt.
And so, I began to delve into
the wonderful and amazing
life of Arlene Bayle, part
owner of CFR.
It was her uncle and aunt,
Carlito and Thelma Gicale
who opened the CanAsian
restaurant in Emo in 1994.
They closed that business 2
weeks ago to focus on their
Fort Frances location. Arlene and her cousin Babelyn
Bonwick are managing CFR
under the guidance and care of
their uncle and aunt, who are
busy in the kitchen.
Arlene is so grateful to her
family for the opportunity to
work in the business with
them. "They are the most
amazing people. They take
care of us so much." It's been
a long journey from her home
in the Philippines to this small
town.
In 1997, Arlene left her 2
daughters and husband in their
native Philippines to follow in
her cousin's footsteps and cultivate a better life for her and
her family. It was 2 years before she had the proper documentation to sponsor her
family's arrival to Canada.
During that time, she refused
to return to the Philippines
when she had a break from
work because it was just too
hard for her to leave her family
again. But that was a long time
ago, and her daughters have
unrivaled opportunities in this
country. Her son was born in
Canada in 2006 and is enrolled
at St. Francis school. "It
makes me so happy. I'm so
proud of them!" She gushes
about her children. Family
means everything to her. It's
why this restaurant is so important to her.
But it's not her first time
working in a family restaurant.
During her first 8 years in
Canada she waitressed at
Sorento's in Winnipeg. The
staff became family to her
while her own was far away.
When she worked at St. Boniface hospital as a ward clerk,
the nurses there became family, too. "We all cried when I
left. They said they are going
to come and visit me here."
Everywhere she's been, Arlene has had to work hard.
From her early years on the
mango and coconut farm to
here at the restaurant, she is
determined to make life better
for everyone around her. It
will be true for everyone who
steps foot in CFR. Her wide
smile and gentle laugh will be
one of your favourite parts of
coming, after the food of
course. "We make our food
fresh, from scratch." That includes mostly everything on
the menu, except a few items
like chicken fingers. Even the
fries are cut fresh from potatoes.
The menu is expansive but
not overwhelming and offers a
variety of foreign dishes to try
as well as tried and true Canadian fare. Arlene was the one
who pushed for the Filipino
breakfast (an array of typical
Filipino sausages and eggs) to
be on the menu. Whether
you're feeling adventurous or
need a good comfort meal,
there's another option for dining in downtown.
