Op-Ed: How's Your body

Agnes Bardal Comack

Daughter Alyson amazed at her mother’s flexibility at 90

Unlike my father, Arinbjorn Sigurgeirsson Bardal (1886-1951), whose favourite question was “How’s your liver?” (Pabbi was Grand Chief Templar of the International Order of Good Templars that met regularly in the IOGT Hall, well known as the Goolie Hall, at Sargent and McGee St. in Winnipeg), I’m more concerned with muscles and joints.

Being free of aches and pains requires eating a well-balanced diet, practicing moderation in all things, and maintaining a normal weight. I have found that regular exercise has been absolutely essential to my good state of health that I am now enjoying in my 91st year. I have been asked how I have accomplished this feat.

Through a series of interviews, the journalist Petur Blondal asked 25 contemporary Icelandic authors to describe their relationships with Icelandic literary traditions and the influence these traditions have on their work. The result is an Icelandic literary history, distilled into individual short stories and coupled with portraits taken by Kristinn Ingvarsson.

L-H documentary to premiere at Núna (now)

Film portrait of the label Bedroom Community will screen along with the L-H movie at Núna (now)

When an organization has over a hundred and twenty-five years of history behind it, there’s surely going to be an interesting story to tell. So went my reasoning when I pitched a documentary film on the long saga of the very newspaper you’re reading right now.
