B y DAWN KO STELNIK Keeping active minds busy with limited resources is dif- ficult in long months of dark. I am a reader. I read every- thingthat canfind getinto trouble for reading too much. Y ou can imagine my ex cite- ment when an author of one of the books that I had read wascomingtoCoppermineto do researchforanotherbook Thisisgood.Hewouldbestay- ing at the Hudsons Bay staff house. That was bad. U nderthreatofdeathmost young girls were told to stay a hundred miles away from the Hudsons Bay staff house. I developed a friendship with Shawna her father was the manager of the Hudsons Bay. She was also under threat of deathifshewentnearthestaff house but she was an avid reader as well. Shawna had also read this authors books about life where we lived. Al- though the stories seemed a bit far-fetched to those of us who lived here we imagined thatthepeopleoutsideinthe southwouldbeprettyex cited by this authors books. A couple of cases of whis- key are smuggled into a dry northern community cheap research. Men arrive at the staff house under cover of dark to sip whiskey with this writer from the south. Some remember him from the last time he came to do research. Whiskey flows and the words begin to flow faster than the whiskey does. In old times when caribou dont come and seals played belowwiththeseagodSedna we eat lemmings Not too-o bad you know little bones get caught in your throat. Lem- ming and Aq iggiq ptarmi- gan soup makes you strong O ne swallow for those guys and its a-l-l-l gone. Even them little bones. The more whiskeythatflowedthemore colourful the stories became. Did I let that out I must have been in the room to hear that. Shawna and I de- cide that the risk is worth our lives to set eyes on this famous Canadian author. We stand close to the door - our access to uick escape the light is dim in the crowd of people that fills the room.

He beats P opeye and his spinach hands down for power All naturally grown foods contain vitamins and min- erals that our bodies need to function optimally. Kale is the king of vegetables for potency power Even though kale looks like a type of lettuce it is actually part of the cabbage family. Kale is a pretty dish to serve as it grows purple or green and smooth or curly. Here is a list of a few of the great benefits of kale with some yummy ideas for incorporating it into your daily menu. K is for vitamin K. Vitamin K is necessary for blood clot- ting and it transports calcium throughout the body helping to prevent osteoporosis. This is especially important in the northern hemisphere as we do not get as much vitamin D from the sun as our south- ern friends vitamin D helps prevent osteoporosis too. O ne serving of kale 1 cup provides about 68 4 per cent of the recommended daily al- lowance RDA of vitamin K. Thats a lot of bone preserv- ing power K is also for kaempferol. This antiox idant helps keep our cells fats and DNA in good repair. It inhibits the formation of fat in the blood which lowers our risk of heart attacks and also fights the formation of cancer cells. Antiox idants also help keep us looking and feeling young. A is for vitamin A. Vitamin Aisnecessaryfornightvision strong healthy bones repro- duction and a strong immune system. It also helps skin inside and outside the body fight bacteria and viruses. O neservingofkaleprovides about20 6percentoftheRDA ofvitaminA.Morebone-build- ingpowerwiththeadditionof healthy eyes to continue en- joying those northern lights L is for lutein.

Now for the fun part how to incorporate kale into your daily menu Here are several yummy ideas 1. Add frozen chopped kale toyoursmoothieinthemorn- ing. I usually add half a cup. 2. Steam it and add a bit of butterandsalttotaste. Besure to cut off the rib the hard back bone. 3. Add raw chopped kale to your salads wraps or sandwiches. Kale is a bit chewier than lettuce so mix it in with your lettuce to start. 4. P ut some kale into your soups or casseroles. This is a great one for kids that dont like to eat vegetables they wont even know its there. 5. Saut e kale with some garlic a bit of butter or olive oil and maybe some onion. Super yummy 6. Make some kale chips to replace potato chips remove the ribs toss in olive oil and sprinkle with a bit of salt cumin powder chilli powder or garlic powder. Bake at 27 5 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 5 3 0 minutesuntiltheyarecrispy enough to your liking. My grandkids LO VE these 7. U se a kale leaf in place of your wheat wrap.
