A Sample of ‘State Your Opinion’ Contest Entries from January to may 2010

Should Canadians send money to Haiti to help with the recovery effort after the earthquake? –February 2010.

Tanya –Grade 12

Even though Haiti isn’t close by, we should help them anyway. A lot of people in the Haiti area lost their lives, their homes and jobs due to the tragedy that happened. They are in need of help. How would you feel if that happened here and no one helped us out to put the pieces back together? I’m pretty sure you’ll feel down and really negative about everything. Haiti is going through a really rough time with losing their home, jobs and family. We helped the other communities when they were in need of help, so why not help Haiti in their time of need?

Abigail- Grade 10

As we all know, Haiti has been hit with one of the deadliest natural disasters in history. It was only a few weeks ago that it got hit with the earthquake. Many people died and today, people are still finding people dead. Haiti is a small island and it is also very poor. Why help Haiti? The question should be, why not help Haiti? It is a poor island who needs help. There is very little food, water, shelter they have there now. Illnesses are going around now. Many people are dying of starvation and thirst. They also don’t have a good health care system there. So, I ask again, why not help Haiti?

Jon – Grade 12

In my opinion, I think the reason why the world is helping out Haiti right now is because the planet works as one. One part of the world is hit by a natural disaster; the rest of the world goes to help out. Just like New Orleans, everyone went to go help. We can put everything aside, to go help Haiti, because that place is in greater need than anyone else. Who cares if you can’t buy a car? Or you can’t get what you want? Who cares if your X-box 360 is broken? No one cares if you can’t find a smoke. People’s lives are at stake here, Haiti is far more important than anything else. 200,000 people died, just like that, I’m sure people could hold off the X-box for a while and donate some money to the Red Cross.

Jill- Grade 11

Even though Canada and the world are in a recession, I think it does make sense that we continue to donate money for Haiti because they do need a lot of help and even though we have our own problems we don’t have it as bad as them and we should try to help any way that we can and not be so selfish. People probably continue to donate money because they want to help the people of Haiti.

Should there be a winter road from Moosonee/Moose Factory to the south?

Shannon- Grade 12

My opinion on the matter is that it would be beneficial to Moosonee and Moose Factory and other surrounding communities for the reason that Northern would be forced to lower their criminal prices due to competition. A downside would be that it would be a lot easier for bootleggers and drug dealers to do their business although they seem to do well regardless. ONR would also lose business but they could care less about us, so if people are worried about their jobs they can always go work on the Toronto train. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were to be issues with land claims and taxes but people should think about the benefits in the long run. No more train delays and sitting for five hours in filth.

Jamie- Grade 12

I think the winter road out to Cochrane will be a great idea because it would be a chance for everyone to get out of town for a while if they don’t want to take the train. It would especially be better for the younger people to get a chance to get out on their own for a while with some friends. It if could be made then I think tons of people would use it.

Rebekah –Grade 11

Personally, I don’t think they should put a winter road in. Sure there are many reasons of why a winter road would be great for the people of Moosonee, they could drive out anytime they wanted to and come back anytime. But it would cost so much to make every year. If this is the case, you might as well use that money to make a year round road in and out of Moosonee to Cochrane. You also have to think that, if a person gets into some sort of accident out there and they can’t drive back, how are they supposed to get help, there are no service stations out there for them to walk to, they would have to walk all the way, or wait for someone to come along, and hopefully they could help. These are just some of the reasons why I don’t think they should make a winter road.

Tyler – Grade 12

I think the winter road will be good for most of the people, but bad for the young people. The winter road is a lot faster, and the prices down south are a lot cheaper than around here, and it would be good for us and the coastal communities. I think that more people from down south will come up for hockey tournaments. In the winter, this would be good for the young people and the families. When you really break it down, think about all the drugs that could be brought back during the winters. The main drugs around here are cocaine and marijuana, but if the wrong kinds of drugs get brought back, maybe crack or even crystal meth, think about all the people that would get hooked, especially around here, it would destroy the communities and lead to depression and then it could lead to maybe even SUICIDE. The road will also destroy animals’ homes and push the animals away, and this will be bad for the young people too.

Opinions about sports violence

Brittany – Grade 12

I can’t really have a direct response to why violence is in sports, because first of all I don’t watch sports or hardly participate in them. I personally study people; it’s somewhat of a hobby of mine. When you think about it athletes are under a lot of pressure, their parents/teachers/coaches etc. always expect them to be the best and do their best. That’s why you always see jocks bullying people or causing violence of some sort, when people are under so much pressure there’s only so much they can handle and they keep it bottled up. They’re supposed to be intimidating so they don’t show their emotions. There’s my opinion, violence isn’t in sports, it’s in the athletes.

Alex – Grade 12

Yes I think sports were always violent since they were invented. Yes it is just part of the game and makes people get excited. Yes I think it should be part of the game but should not be overdone. Yes the player should be suspended or kicked out forever.

Jason – Grade 11

The reason I think hockey is so violent today is because of the fact that they wear better gear. Because in the past they could not hit or check any one or do anything violent without really hurting themselves as well. So thanks to the hockey gear players can now do more violent things.

Opinions on video gaming and if gaming is a danger to your health

Marissa – Grade 10

No, I don’t think video games are a danger to my, or anyone’s health because school consists of the same and similar things:

School-walking to class; sitting at desk; writing

Gaming- walking to TV/fridge; sitting down; using hands

If gaming were a danger to our health, then school is almost just as much as a danger too (especially for obese or overweight people). And not all gamers are obese and some limit their snackage (wise portions, etc.)

Ashley – Grade 10

Video games can cause people to not be able to separate fantasy from reality because they can get so caught up in the games. They don’t sleep much and usually have unhealthy diets. Playing the game for long periods of time and lack of sleep make it hard for people to tell what is real or not. People should try and limit their time they play video games by hanging out with friends, getting involved with sports, or getting a job.

Jayme – Grade 9

Yes, I think video games are dangerous for our health because we’re not getting active while sitting down moving our fingers, and you can easily get addicted to the video game. Some people have a hard time separating reality with fantasy because they think that on if they put it on a game it must be okay to do it in real life. The way you can probably balance playing video games and being fit is by limiting you game time and think more about your health.

Brandon – Grade 9

I think that video games are not health risk because some kids just there for hours, but that can be good sometimes because some kids could be out and getting into trouble on the streets or getting into drugs.

One way you can play video games with physical activity is the game Wii and instead of eating chips and pop they can eat more healthy foods like fruits and fruit juice. People have a hard time with reality and fantasy cause they play too many games, but one way they can get into reality is that they can get off the couch AND GET OUT MORE.

Student opinion of our reading program

Donovan – Grade 11

In my opinion, I think that the reading for enjoyment is definitely a worthwhile program. The program has gotten me back into wanting to read every day. It gives me time to re-read books I have read before and make a better understanding of the books. It has also extended my range of books that interest me. I feel that the reading for enjoyment should be a continued program throughout all of Ontario.

Kyle – Grade 11

Yes I do think it is a worthwhile program. It allows the student body a small break during class while keeping the brain and imagination active. Also, it allows students the opportunity to do something they may not normally do and the program has educational value by increasing the high school reading level. Yes it has helped me to enjoy reading; to get caught up in a good book is very intriguing. It allows me to ease my mind, and allow me to prepare mentally for the coming class.

Should women’s hockey continue to be an Olympic event?

Brendon –Grade 9

Yes, I think women’s hockey should be allowed in the Olympic Games because everyone has a right to play hockey and it’s fun watching your team (country) playing for the gold, or the Stanley cup. It’s also cool because Canada is one of the best hockey team in the Olympics for men and women.

Jaylene- Grade 12

Yes, because gender discrimination is wrong. Women are as equal to men, besides just because they always win doesn’t mean anything- maybe other women’s hockey teams should train harder!

Precious- Grade 9

Women should be able to play in the Olympics because it’s like saying, “Women aren’t allowed to vote.” Women started voting, and no one is telling us to stop. So why should we not participate in this?

Dallas- Grade 9

I really don’t think women’s hockey should be in the Olympics, because I really don’t think that it is fair to the other countries. Women’s hockey teams try to compete against Canada but everybody knows that Canada will dominate.

Go Canada!

Dream Vacations (The desert, the jungle or the moon)

Marrissa- Grade 11

I would choose to go to the moon because I think it would be beautiful to see the Earth from there. I’d also like being on a rocket ship and would enjoy any ‘no gravity’ moments. I would also want to look for pretty moon stones or something like that J.

Michelle – Grade 11

My dream vacation would be to be able to go to the moon because it would be awesome to go moon bouncing without those ugly huge plastic moon boots. Not only does the moon have zero gravity, but the footprints will never fade, and it would be the opportunity of a life time to have my foot on the moon forever. Lastly it would be incredibly awesome to ride a rocket and wear those stellar space suits.

Brandon – Grade 11

If I had the chance to go on my dream vacation to one of these three places I would love to go visit the moon. I would like to see how it feels to be in space where there is no one and no gravity. I would like to see the blue Earth and all the other planets. Besides, I wouldn’t mind actually going there on a rocket.

NLSS Co-operative Education Program

This semester NLSS has twelve students in the co-operative education program. There are currently placements at Weeneebayko General Hospital, Moosonee Public School, Ministik, the Moosonee Friendship Centre, Great North, in the Outdoor Education program at Northern Lights, Bushland Airways, and Moose River Broadcasting.

Here is what some of our current students have to say about their experiences in co-op:

The positive experience I had at my Co-op placement was being able to see OBS almost every day. I see different stages of the pregnancy. In the beginning it made me miss my baby belly and that would be me lying on the bed getting my ultrasound done. I enjoy seeing ultrasounds done because it makes me happy just seeing a baby in the belly and that used to be me. Another positive experience I’ve had is that I get to help with the X-rays. I help get the patient in position and I upload the x-ray to the computer.

-Erin Chilton

A positive experience at my co-op placement is getting to know the kids I work with. They’re always about having fun and just being a kid. Never underestimate a grade two, they are a lot smarter and sneakier than they seem. One afternoon while they were doing a math quiz, all of them finished pretty quickly so they got to have free time before recess. After the bell rang and they went outside for recess, my supervisor and I went back into the classroom and tidied up a bit. Then we noticed a box of calculators sitting in the corner of the classroom. That made us laugh.

-Larissa Trapper

One of the positive experience’s I had during my time at CO-OP with Bushland Airways was for sure flying their Cessna L-19/O-1 Bird Dog plane. Just flying a plane makes me feel happy knowing that it was something I’ve always wanted to do growing up as a kid. The guys at Bushland Airways are great guys and I recommend if you’re a person who likes planes, you come to do your placement over there, and if you’re placed at this placement even though you don’t pay much attention to planes you’ll love it.

-Jon Tozer

I have many positive experiences at my co-op placement. This one is when a nurse came in and made me feel welcomed. He told me many things like, what I should do after I graduate high school, how it is in the hospital as a nurse, and giving me advice when I do become a nurse. He made me feel more comfortable, and he also gave me really good advice, since I want to be a nurse when I graduate college, I thank him for that.

-Amy Hunter

The above is only a small sample of the positive feedback that Mr Puckalo and I get from students who go out to Co-op placements. Feedback from our placement supervisors is equally upbeat and it is not uncommon for students to start down a career path because of the support they received from the workplace. Obviously there is the odd time it doesn’t work out, but this is quite rare and the Co-op Program at the school remains a very popular choice for students in grade 11 and 12. To ensure you have the option of taking Co-op, make sure you pass all your classes, especially your compulsory credits. Come and talk to me or Mr. Puckalo if you want to find out more. Mr. Fleming

In The Gym...

You may have noticed lately that your mornings in room 208 haven’t been augmented by the sounds of Rihanna, Akon, and the Black Eyed Peas thumping up at you through the floor. That’s because students in Ms. G’s HPE classes have been in Health the last couple of weeks.

Though students in the Grade 11 Fitness course are welcoming the break from sore muscles and appreciating how they can walk and sit like normal human beings again, with the end of year crunch fast approaching, all are excited to get back into the gym for the stress relief that being active brings.

In Grade 9 girl’s HPE, two weeks of learning about substance use and abuse culminated in excellent ‘refusal skills skits’ and ‘Spoof ads’ advertising the TRUTH behind tobacco and alcohol use. Have a look around the school for these excellent specimens of student achievement.

Also in the news: New book cart makes way to Gym Equipment Room! That’s right students! Kiss that mangy cardboard box goodbye! Not only does this amazing new purchase ROLL your favorite books from place to place, it’s double sided, has a nifty whiteboard for those last minute jot notes, AND IT HAS BRAKES. Come see Ms. G to check it out. A-mazing.

Shops Report

By Mr. Puckalo

At NLSS we are very fortunate to have modern technological studies/shop facilities. As part of our shops programs this semester we offer Transportation Technology and Manufacturing Technology. The Transportation Tech program covers a wide area of technology that includes small engine repairs, automotive technology, and marine tech. The Manufacturing Tech program also covers a wide range of subjects like welding, construction, precision metal work and woodworking. In these photos we have 2 of our Transportation Tech students demonstrating their skills while working on one of our group projects. Frankie Carey is grinding material on the “backhoe” project and Tanya Uiselt is using the oxy/acetylene cutting torch to create a component for the same project (next page). Any student interested in technology related courses is encouraged to drop in and have a look at what we do.

FOODS AND NUTRITION: A COURSE OF HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES

This semester has been great in our Foods and Nutrition program. Over the course of the semester we have learned a variety of techniques and knowledge of various ways to live a healthy and active lifestyle. We have worked with recipes with ingredients from all of the food groups and have been successful in completing a number of simple recipes that could be made at home. Our students have learned through the use of video, internet, and research that healthy eating and nutrition are key components to living a long life.

We began the course with a fundraiser for those that were affected by the earthquake in Haiti. As a team, the food and nutrition class made a spaghetti lunch for the entire school and raised successful over $200 for the cause. Strong work ethic and a desire to support those in need was the key to hosting a successful event.

Throughout the course it has been intended that students learn about a variety of foods including salads, fruit, chicken, beef, grain products, and more. Safety in the kitchen was also a large component and students have shown a strong will to demonstrate these skills on a consistent basis. While we have created some desserts, the focus has been on creating healthier foods and recipes. To demonstrate some of the consequences of not eating healthily and unsafe kitchen practices, we have watched a variety of videos including Food Inc. and Supersize Me. Through the use of Canada’s Food Guide, we have learned that food sizes, portions, and eating right will help students and families to live a healthier lifestyle.

By the end of the Foods program, it is intended that students will learn about international cuisines. Students will be researching recipes from around the world and will be creating their very own personal international cookbook. This will be assigned as a culminating activity and students will be able to bring their finalized projects home with them.

As a class, we all encourage the desire to live and eat healthier. Go out for a walk with your family. Perhaps you could join a sport or a club. Regular meals with the family and sitting down at the dinner table will promote enhanced family relationships. We encourage everyone to do their part to be a healthier and more active society. This will benefit both the present and future generations.

Riddles

What flies when it's on,
and floats when it's off?

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Two fathers and two sons go fishing. The catch that day isn't good, so they only catch three fish. That happens to be their only supply of food, so they split it evenly, without cutting, slicing, or mauling any of the fish. How is this possible?

????????????????????????????????????????????????????

When you say my name,
I no longer exist.
What am I?

Cultural Day

Get ready to celebrate Aboriginal culture on Friday June 4^th. NLSS will be having a Cultural Day filled with exciting events. Come out and shoot arrows at targets with Mr. Fleming, learn how to smoke a goose with Mr. Hester, become a chef and cook traditional meats, feeling creative; carve soapstone or bead, take a walk outside and build a campfire and cook bannock on a stick with Ms. Glenney and Mr. Robinson, or maybe you want to go fishing with Mr. Puckalo and learn to net fish with Mr. K. MacDonald. Whatever you decide, this is sure to be a fun day.

James Bay Warrior

Stevie Louttit captured her idea of what a James Bay Warrior might look like for her Adventures in World History course. At the time, the class was studying the Aztecs. The Aztecs had a relationship with the environment. The warriors wore the skins and feathers of the animals and became a jaguar warrior or eagle warrior for example. For the class assignment, students were to create a James Bay Warrior using what was available in the environment in this area.
