Student helps out up north

MANITOULIN ISLAND
— For the second time in
as many years an Exeter
resident was part of a
team of volunteers who
recently spent a week liv-
ing on the Sagamok
reserve, 10 hours north
of Exeter.
Carla Musser, 16, is a
student at St. Anne's in
Clinton and was part of
the Hands of God team
that travelled 10 hours
north to the reserve from
Oct. 12-17.
Sagamok is 120 kilome-
ters west of Sudbury and
230 kilometers east of
Sault Ste. Marie.
Espanola is the nearest
large centre at 25 kilo-
meters distance.
One of the projects the
13 student, including five
from Regina Mundi in
London, worked on was
renovating the upstairs
of a church hall.
Musser said the group
washed and painted the
hall to eliminate the
heavy sight and smell of
nicotine.
The students also
helped in classrooms as
well as grocery shopping
for families.
Musser said she was
surprised last year in her
first trip to the reserve
with some of the prob-
lems she saw.
"You get used to a
place like Exeter...and
then see a community
worse off."
But she added the com-
munity was nice and the
people were welcoming.
While Musser was at
the reserve last year, the
community held a sub-
stance abuse week and
the group was able to
take part in a pow wow,
with residents who had
quit discussing their
experiences.
"The dances and cos-
tumes are amazing and
the beating on the drums
is wonderful.
"We all loved it up
there," said Musser. "No
one wanted to come
home."
