SONAR, apping the stigmaREBECCA WATSON Caledonia Courier

Students at Fort St. James Secondary School (FSJSS) have invented an innovative way to address stigma on mental health.

The Social Networking App for Resilience, or SONAR, is an interactive website and app meant to engage young people to learn more about depression, anxiety, substance abuse or any other mental health problems. The idea came into fruition last year after an UNBC practicum student visited FSJSS and organized a group to study mental health. Thus the SONAR team was born.

“We want to change the views Fort St. James youth have on mental health,” Raylene Erickson, 17, said, lead SONAR member.

In Canada approximately one in four youth experience mental health. In Fort St. James, more than half the youth who completed a recent SONAR survey met the criteria of having signifi cant mental health problems. Over the past year, ten youth collaborators from the community worked closely

to determine the main issues affecting Fort St. James youth. They concluded the three top reasons are substance abuse, racism and bullying. They also found a lack of opportunity for peers and adults to connect in meaningful ways.

“The SONAR website is intended to facilitate youth en-gagement and participation in the community. With SONAR people can log on and fi nd out what’s happening in the com-munity, positive places to hang out and it even has a calendar of upcoming events,” Jhenipher Bridgeman said, SONAR teacher liaison and at-risk youth worker at FSJSS.

This past January, Erickson and Bridgeman attended the Balancing Our Minds Youth Summit in Vancouver after SO-NAR was nominated for the Every Day Champion of Wellness Award. Although the group did not win, the two ladies brought back with them many ways to engage the community further.

“At the summit we learned about laughter, yoga, mindful-ness, Mind Check and, heard so many stories of how other youth have taken away the stigma in their communities,” Er-ickson said.

The SONAR group hopes to use MindCheck, an educa-tional website on mental health, to get more people involved.

The website hosts a curriculum that SONAR will use in class-rooms, called Stop Wondering Start Knowing. It hosts three sessions - What is Mental Health, Talk and Take Action and Recognizing Mental Health Challenges and Achieve Mental Awareness.

“Our goal is to essentially start with adults teaching the class but then eventually have students teach. It will be much more affective coming from peers,” Kaylee Walstrom, 16, SONAR member, said.

With help from grant writer Shauna Hesse, SONAR is hopeful to receive funding and together with the Theatre Northwest Music Makers and Nechako Valley Arts Council, put on a play with a mental health focus. It will be a theatre production for the community to see and will possibly travel to other schools, Bridgeman said.

“Moving forward we will also be doing an assembly to let everyone know about these resources and will be creating a mental health board in the school,” she said.

Anyone interested in being part of SONAR, the group meets every Tuesday at lunch in the First Nations room at FSJSS. For more information visit sonaryouth.com

Work Crew thanks local millsVanderhoof — The Nechako Valley Community

Services Society (NVCSS) has made a point to rec-ognize two local mills for their continued support of the NVCSS Work Crew.

“The NVCSS Work Crew would not be as suc-cessful in supporting the community without the continued support of Plateau and L&M,” Kerry Kennedy, 30, program manager, said. “On behalf of NVCSS I would like to thank both mills and New Gold for their donations and support. People are getting faster service when it’s here instead of out in the woods.”

The Works Crew delivers wood rain or shine to clients in Vanderhoof, Fraser Lake, Prince George, Fort St. James and all throughout the Nechako Lakes. They are also known for their lawn-mowing and leaf-racking services particularly for seniors but, wood cutting and delivery has always been the biggest chunk of what we do, Clarence Prince, 62, works crew coordinator said.

“Without the mills providing us a [space] it would be much tougher to cut and pile wood out in the bush,” he said.

For more than ten years Vanderhoof’s Plateau and L&M saw mills have supplied a lot for the Works Crew to cut and load wood. They have also recently supplied truck loads of wood free of Ty Gwilliams, Jay Vankoughnette, Donovan Massetoe, Rick Barton and works crew coordinator Clerence Prince.

charge, just as Gulbranson Logging has done over the years, Prince said.

“With the mill’s continued support we have lower cost for seniors because we’re not spending so much money on gas and finding the wood,” Prince said. “It also gives the guys more work hours because instead of being out in the bush were right in town so it helps us provide quicker service too.”

Prince’s position is funded through Com-munity Living British Columbia (CLBC) but the wages of the other employees who make up the Work Crew come directly from money made through selling the wood and other services.

Donovan Massetoe, 22, has been employed on the Work Crew for three years.

“Everyone’s friendly and gets along and I like our job. We measure the wood, cut it to a sixteenth length, put it in the truck and deliver. We also take turns splitting and pil-ing.”

A wood splitter was donated to the NVCSS Work Crew by New Gold last year, which is great because it makes the work much more safe, Kennedy said.

As one of the longest-working work crew employees, Rick Barton, 63, feels having the mill bring them wood is a lot nicer than going out in the bush.

“Without the mills we would have to go out and get the wood which would take a lot more energy and time, which we don’t have. We’ve had the lot to work in for a while but before we had to go find our own wood. Now it’s a lot easier,” he said.

Reducing stigma from mental illness and getting the family support you need

By Dr. David Smith

When a child or teenager is diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer or organ failure, friends and neighbors often drop off casseroles or ask how they can help. The community rallies around the effected fam-ily to buoy them with support in their time of need.

Not so —at least until now — when the diagnosis is a mental health issue. In fact, parents often say that their journey through the medical system, education, and social services, as well as society at large, with a child or youth with a mental health issue is one of the most lonely, isolating and emo-tionally diffi cult they have ever faced. “My daughter’s struggle with severe depression was more diffi cult for me than my husband’s sudden death,” said one mother, who is a family representative in the Interior’s Child and Youth Mental Health Collaborative. “Af-ter he died, people brought food, came by to watch my kids, let me cry and talk. When my daughter got ill, people stayed far away, but I needed more support than ever.”

Keli Anderson, co-founder of The F.O.R.C.E Society for Mental Health (Fami-lies Organized for Recognition and Care Equality) knows that experience well. Her young son began showing behavioural prob-

lems and mental health issues 22 years ago at the age of 5, which turned out to be very early-onset bipolar disorder. Anderson felt shamed, blamed and completely on her own to navigate confusing and uncompassionate systems and an indifferent society. So the BC mother along with another mother facing the same challenges started The F.O.R.C.E. (forcesociety.com) to provide support, in-formation, understanding and advocacy for families with children and youth with mental health issues. One of their popular and very helpful programs is the “Parent In Residence” and “Youth in Residence” posi-tions in various regions, staffed by individu-als with lived experience in child and youth mental health who help those just encoun-tering the system, or any way along their journey.

Thanks to the work of organizations like The F.O.R.C.E — which truly has become a force in BC for family support and advocacy — as well as the growth of other support or-ganizations, families are no longer so alone. Youth and families are also front and centre in the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative, which started in the Interior a year ago and is now expand-ing to Vancouver Island. Jointly funded by the BC government and Doctors of BC, the Collaborative is bringing families and youth

together with a wide array of BC mental health professionals, including clinicians from the Ministry of Children and Family Development, physicians, school counsel-lors, community agencies, the RCMP and more. Together the more than 200 members of the Collaborative are working to improve timely access and integration of child and youth mental health services in the province by working on local action teams in various communities, and fi nding solutions to sys-tem barriers through Working Groups. This series of seven columns is part of the work to improve mental health awareness and reduce barriers to care.

Fortunately, the unnecessary stigma that has surrounded mental illness for decades is fi nally beginning to lessen. An increas-ing number of articulate, compassionate and public individuals are coming forward to tell their personal stories of life with a mental illness. Public individuals like Olympic ath-lete Clara Hughes, CBC radio host Sheilagh Rogers, actress Catherine Zeta Jones, and comedian Robin Williams have all raised awareness and understanding, and reduced stigma to unprecedented levels.

Youth, too, are coming forward in schools and communities to share their experiences and help others make the path less isolating. This growing openness and recognition is

helping all of us understand that mental ill-ness touches us all and that fostering mental wellness is a task for every one of us.

The Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative has received funding through to 2016 and is determined to make the experience for youth and fami-lies much more timely, effi cient, effective and less isolating. While we still have a ways to go, with increased education and aware-ness, better integration of services, more family support and advocacy, as well as re-duced levels of stigma, the future is growing ever brighter for children, youth and families experiencing mental health issues.

Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist, the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for In-terior Health, and a contracted psychiatrist for Child and Youth Mental Health for the Ministry of Children and Family Develop-ment. This series of columns is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Sub-stances Use Collaborative, which involves multiple individuals, organizations and min-istries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their fami-lies receiving timely access to mental health services and support. The Collaborative is jointly funded by the Government of British Columbia and Doctors of BC.

Kevin Zakresky: Vocalist Adjudicator for the Performing Arts Festival

Leanne has played piano since she was three and has been an adjudicator at festivals for the last 14 years. She has a master of mu-sic degree from the Uni-versity of Alberta and explored further studies at the Banff school of fi ne arts, the University Mozarteum in Salzburg and the Aspen Music Festival and recently completed her doctor of music in piano per-formance from North-western University in Evanston Illinois.

She currently works as a freelance musician working for a variety of institutions and organi-zations such as a pianist for the Edmonton Op-

Leon has worked in theatre and fi lm for more than 25 years hav-ing done classic and contemporary plays and numerous independent fi lms. He is a profes-sional actor in the Ca-nadian Actors Equity Association (CAEA) and began working as a director in 1994 lead-ing The Looking Glass Theatre in Vancouver and Blue Peanut Pro-ductions. He completed his training at the UK’s Royal Academy of Dra-matic Art (RADA) and Kings College, London with an M.A. in direct-ing. Over the years Leon has worked in London, New York, Vancou-ver and Nanaimo and is now a director and professor at Vancouver Island University where he teaches in the theatre department.

Although Leon has never been to Vander-hoof he has adjudicated

School for Contempo-rary Arts, Simon Fraser University, and recently

made a CBC broadcast debut conducting Mon-teverdi with the Vancou-ver Chamber Choir and the Vancouver Chamber Orchestra.

Although this will be his fi rst time adjudicat-ing in Vanderhoof he has been to the commu-nity many times since he grew up in Prince George.

“I would not be what I am today if I grew up in a bigger centre. I got to thrive in the arts and music and people here

give you a chance, one I might not have got if I grew up in Vancou-ver (the place he now lives),” he said.

What Kevin looks for in a great perfor-mance is enthusiasm and a love of music and performing.

“Those are the types of things I like to sup-port and see everywhere I go,” he said.

Kevin has adjudi-cated in Fort St. John, Prince George, Wil-liams Lake, 100 Mile

House, Chilliwack, Burns Lake, Smithers, Terrace, Niniamo and Calgary to name a few places. Typically he goes to about four or fi ve festivals each year.

“It’s nice to get out and meet new people through the province, especially in Northern BC because we are their symphony,” he said.

Kevin has already taken a glance at the pieces everyone is sing-ing and is excited about the choices. “It looks

like it’s a really thriv-ing vocal community and that’s nice, because your promised to be en-tertained and meet some vibrant young people.”

Kevin will be adjudicating for the vo-calist portion of the Per-forming Arts Festival

Wednesday, March 11. The entire fes-tival will take place from March 11-17. For more informa-tion visit http://www.musicfestival-web.com/nechako/festival.aspx and click program.

era and Richard Eaton Singers. She also teach-es at the University of Alberta and The King’s College in Edmonton where she plays with the Edmonton Sym-phony as an orchestral pianist, and collaborate with other musicians on

recitals and concerts. One of the most

unique projects she was recently involved with was playing with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra on a live soundtrack recording for a documentary fi lm, called The Great Hu-man Odyssey, that aired on CBC’s The Nature of Things in February, and will eventually air on PBS around the world.

“Of course I en-courage my students to develop their sight-reading skills, and this was one of those situa-tions where the ability to sight-read was a must - we did not see the music until the fi rst re-hearsal when we began

recording immediately,” she said in an email in-terview.

Having recently adjudicated at the Co-quitlam Music Festi-val, Leanne has also done the Contemporary Showcase festival in Edmonton, Alberta, as well as other Alberta Festivals that include Drayton Valley, St. Al-bert, Calgary APTA Festival, and Grande Prairie.

“I usually adjudicate junior, intermediate or senior piano classes, but have also done some choral and vocal adjudi-cating,” she said.

This will be the fi rst time Leanne adjudi-cates for the festival in

Vanderhoof and looks forward to hearing all of the young pia-nists.

“There are always moments of beautiful music-making, mo-ments of sheer cuteness with some of the little ones, and I enjoy dis-covering each individ-ual personality through their music,” she said.

Leanne will be ad-judicating for the piano portion of the Perform-ing Arts Festival March 16 -17. The entire fes-tival will take place from March 11-17. For more information visit http://www.musicfesti-valweb.com/nechako/festival.aspx and click program.

Leon Potter: Speech Adjudicator for the Performing Arts Festival

around the province in-cluding the BC provin-cial festival two years ago in Chilliwack and for festivals in Kam-loops and Vancouver Island.

When judging the speech arts he looks for the person’s ability to tell a story and to fi nd a way behind the words.

“I look for the way they make the words personal,” he said.

Leon got his fi rst taste of theatre when he was 16 being dragged

to his fi rst high school production by a friend, he said.

“I got picked for a role and was hooked. I’ve never had another job since, I’ve always been in theatre,” he said.

When asked about what he would say to those looking to get involved in theatre, he said “Make sure your passionate about it. Make sure its some-thing you really want to do. Don’t go into it wil-ly nilly and never ever give up. It’s a hugely competitive industry.”

Leon showed his en-thusiasm about his visit to Vanderhoof having never come to the com-munity before.

“It’s a blast visiting different communities and by adjudicating I’ve gotten to know this province better then I ever thought I could. I am absolutely looking forward to coming to

Vanderhoof.” he said.Leon will be adju-

dicating for the speech portion of the Perform-ing Arts Festival March 13-14. The entire festi-

val will run March 11-17. For more informa-tion visit http://www.musicfestivalweb.com/nechako/festival.aspx and click program.

Submitted by Angela Brennan of Cold Fire Creek Dog Sledding

We are Cold Fire Creek Dog Sledding based near Valemount BC and Jasper AB. We are pre-dominantly a commercial trail rides business how-ever we diversified and went to the races this year! We were originally asked to provide the dogs for the fun run politician race, but due to the change in location for the event, the Politician race got cancelled. Still, we came up to offer trail rides and decided to compete as well. I am a Guide for Cold Fire Creek (Angela Brennan) and my co-worker and also Guide Emelia Cinnamon entered the sprint races. I entered the 4 dog 4 mile and she the 6 dog 6 mile. They are both timed events and the fastest time wins. There was also a 10 dog 10 mile race and the also the stage races for the Iditarod (a qualifier).

Emelia placed 2nd in the 6 dog 6 mile race and 1 placed 3rd in the dog 4 mile race. Not bad for our very first races! I believe we raced against some pretty heavy hitters in the industry i.e. Ken Bernard, Terry Quensel, Sean Houghton & Cory Hommel.

After our first races I can honestly say it won’t be the last; that was a wild ride!! Exciting til the bitter end. We like to go fast and let the dogs run the magic.

Here are a few photos I captured along the way.

Students showcase science REBECCA WATSONOmineca Express

RDBN — Elementary stu-dents came from all around the Nechako Lakes Wednes-day to reveal their one-of-a-kind experiments.

The District Science Fair was held March 4 at the Island Gospel Fellowship Church in Burns Lake and showcased 72 projects (1 non-experimental and 71 experimental) created by students in Grade 4-7 (one Gr 10) from Vanderhoof, Fort St. James, Fraser Lake and Burns Lake. Each stu-dent and group came up with original ideas. One group from W.L. McLoed showcased their project called Scoop on Poop which focused on fi nding the best type of fertilizer. Another group from Mapes present-ed a project called Cymat-ics, a study on visible sound vibrations.

“On behalf of School Dis-trict No. 91, I would like to congratulate all the partici-pants, as well as the winners. To those students moving on to the Central Interior Sci-ence Exhibition in Prince George, we wish them the best of luck and thank them for being outstanding rep-

Grade-5 student Corbet Kelemen from Mapes Elementary in Vander-hoof presented the project called Cymatics. Cymatics is the study of vis-ible sound vibrations. The purpose of this experience was to find out if cymatics was true and if different materials respond differently to sound vibrations. Kelemen tried different materials such as flour, pepper, salt and liquids.

Bridger Jensen, from Evelyn Dickson Elementary, was trying to find out what kind of sleds would go down the hill the fastest - boogie board, inflatable tube, luge or skidoo sled.He found out that the fastest sled was the boogie board.
