The community safety offi cer pilot program is set and ready to start. This project, which is the fi rst of its kind in the province, required an amendment to the Police Services Act, and eight offi cers will now be hired in Thompson.

James Allum, minister of justice, travelled to Thompson on April 27 to make the announce-ment. “While there is a law enforcement provi-sion to the community safety offi cer program, they’re primarily about crime prevention strat-egies and intervention strategies connecting folks in need with social services agencies so they get the help and treatment, the support and resources they need.”

The offi cers will be hired in Thompson, but will have constant contact with the provincial government about status of the program, as well as social service agencies around the city.

Mayor Dennis Fenske has been a key person in making this program possible in Thompson, and has been working in the background on this issue for the past fi ve years. “It’s taken a great team, some time, and a lot of players that have been involved from the province, the city, and partners in the community, so it’s an ac-complishment by all. I want to recognize former mayor Tim Johnston and his leadership, and the previous council, and minister [Andrew] Swan as his role of previous minister of justice.”

The new offi cers will work with local enforce-ment to implement different crime prevention strategies, enforce the Liquor and Gaming Con-trol Act, the Intoxicated Persons Detention Act, the Child and Family Services Act, the Mental Health Act, and the Highway Traffi c Act.

Asst. Commissioner Kevin Brosseau, com-

manding offi cer of the RCMP in Manitoba, said it’s about helping the most vulnerable when they need the help. Brosseau noted he was a doubter at fi rst, but that quickly changed with the can-do attitude he noticed Thompson residents have. “There were 50 reasons why this could not work, but we always focused on the one reason why it could. The one reason why it could happen was in fact the people of Thompson care about their community, and they want their community to be the type of place where you can walk, be safe, and enjoy it as you should.”

The Manitoba government will help fund the fi rst two years of the program with the City of Thompson, which will cost $600,000 per year. After the two years are up, discussions will be

held about how the program performed, and what needs to be changed before the rest of the province hires their own community safety offi cers.

Steve Ashton, MLA for Thompson, said al-though there were many tough discussions about the program, this is a success story for Thompson. “We used to call ourselves the model mining community, I think our interest increasingly is to be the model community. That means intervening, providing help to the most vulnerable, and it means making sure our citizens are safe and feel safe at any time, anywhere in our community.”

Community safety offi cers will be hired in May, and workers will start patrolling by June 15.

Women in Thompson were recognized for their dedication and hard work within the community of Thompson on April 25, dur-ing the YWCA’s Women of Distinction awards. During the gala all eight nominees were brought to the stage to receive a certifi cate and at the end of the night, four women were named award winners.

The fi rst 2015 winner was Johanna Petrowski, who was born and raised in Thomp-son. Patrowski began her teaching career as an educa-tional assistant than moved to the community connector position at Wapanohk Com-munity School. Petrowski runs the free breakfast pro-gram at Wapanohk as well as an annual Christmas feast. She also has a hope for community gardens, and sees the importance of healthy meals for all.

Petrowski thanked her friends, colleagues, husband and sister, who were all in attendance, and said it was with the help of others that she was able to receive this award. “This is such a great honour. Wow, I just can’t believe it. I want to thank the organizers and com-mittee members for not just the hard work, but allowing opportunity to show appre-ciation to the hardworking, community-minded women, and dedicated women of the north. This award wasn’t

achieved alone, and all those things I did and was recog-nized for would have never happened alone. It took a team effort. Everyone here with me deserves the recog-nition.”

Bea Shantz was the second woman to receive the award. Originally from southern Ontario, Shan-tz has been a resident of Thompson for more than 30 years. Shantz hosted the fi rst ever community Christ-mas dinner, and annually hosts the Ten Thousand Vil-lages sale. In 2014, Shantz received the volunteer of the year award from the city of Thompson.

During her acceptance speech, Shantz noted that to her volunteerism means a lot, and has given her so

many different opportun-ities. Shantz also gave a special thanks to her hus-band Dale Shantz. “I’d like to give a special recognition to my husband Dale because he’s been a very supportive husband. He’s given me all the freedom to be involved in things over the years and has supported me.” Shantz fi nished off by saying this award was a great way to say farewell to Thompson, as the family will be moving in June.

The third award went to Norma Leahy, who was nominated by her two granddaughters. Leahy grew up in Blackpool Eng-land, and lived through World War II. Leahy arrived in Thompson 1973, with her young family, and spent 50

years as a nurse.Leahy has worked on

many different boards in Thompson, as well as sitting as an elder for the University College of the North. Leahy was a founding member of the Thompson Crisis Centre, represented northern Mani-toba on the national YWCA board, working for equality of women and girls, and was awarded the Queen Eliza-beth II golden jubilee medal in 2002 by the governor general for her work within the community of Thomp-son and Canada as a whole.

Leahy thanked her two granddaughters during her acceptance speech, the organizers, and the other nominees. Leahy fi nished off with a saying by Stephen Grellent, which she lives by. “I expect to pass through this world but once. If, there-fore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I will not pass this way again.”

The fi nal award, which was the Chantelle Chornoby Memorial Award for young women, went to Brielle Beardy-Linklater. Beardy-Linklater grew up in Nelson House and Thompson, and is a courageous leader for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. Beardy-Linklater is the second transgender female to ever win the award across Can-ada, and to her that’s an accomplishment, not only for herself but also for the community of Thompson. “I would like to say a personal thank you to my mother for showing me tough love over the years, and raising me right. You’ve taught me morals and values I’ll carry on throughout my life, and will pass through others.”

Beardy-Linklater spoke about being an aboriginal trans woman, and facing racism, sexism and trans-phobia daily in the work-place, but with the help of the community, and differ-ent women Beardy-Linklater moved past her dark times, and hopes to be an inspira-tion to others. “I do believe it takes a community to raise a child and there are many wonderful women in Thompson, too many to name, thank you for raising me, and inspiring me to be the young woman I am to-day, and I will continue to fi ght.”

The Thompson Humane Society held their annual general meeting on April 22. During the meeting Oswald Sawh, humane society chairperson, said the organization has come a long way from its start in 2006. In 2014, the soci-ety had 237 animals come through the doors, with 58 of those being adopted. Eighty-one animals were returned to their owners from animal control, and seven cats and two dogs were euthanized. “We’re always very up front about animals that we have to put down. We do get feral cats at times, and quite often due to the early months of their lives, they become fairly hard to socialize. There’s always some that prove to be a little bit too aggressive, and we have to euthanize them. The only other option would be to keep them in the kennels, and, to tell you the truth, the lengths of time these cats would have to stay

in the kennels proves to be more inhumane in a kennel,” Sawh explained. The two dogs that were put down were due to biting incidents, and out of the wishes from the family.

When the humane soci-ety fi rst opened there were more than 100 animals an-nually being put down. A lot of the time, Sawh says they were put down due to spacing issues.

Last year was a success-ful year for the Thomp-son Humane Society. The opening of the dog park was one of their biggest highlights, Sawh noted. “The dog park was opened up last year, and we’ve had really good feedback. There are always growing pains, there were some issues with fencing, but for the most part it’s been go-ing well. We’ve had some complaints of owners not picking up after their ani-mals.” Also discussed by Sawh was the help Calm Air does with fl ying ani-mals down to Winnipeg for free. “I also want to

recognize Calm Air. They provide us free fl ights for the animals. If you do the math, that’s well over $10,000 that we’ve saved this year, that we wouldn’t have been able to spend.”

This past year has also benefi tted the society fi -nancially. In total the soci-ety fundraised $30,199.50. The total revenue for 2014 was $103,293.19, with expenses totaling $99,515.69. This gave the society a net income of $3,777.50.

With May already on their heels, the society says this year will be their busiest yet.

“We’re setting up an e-commerce board in the mall, which will promote what animals are up for adoption. It’s also going to provide some messa-ging for individuals about things happening like our new building,” mentioned Sawh.

The society is hoping to adopt out more animals this year, instead of fl ying them to other shelters in

the province. The store will also be re-launching this summer with expanded hours.

But for Sawh, the big-gest and best news is about their new building, which should be built in the next three years. The current building has a few problems, and fi xing and renovating the building, would end up costing them more, Sawh says.

The new building will have separate air systems, which are needed for the animals who are coming in, and the animals that are quarantined and stay-ing for longer time periods. The new building will also see safer spots for preg-nant animals, and a space for puppies. “At the end of the day it’s going to pro-vide a service, but I believe it will be vastly enhanced. We have a lot of work we have to do before then,” fi nished Sawh.

Blueprints of the new building will be available during the CHTM trade show May 1-3.

Editorial

Letters to the EditorWednesday, April 29, 2015 www.thompsoncitizen.net

Familiar ways not the only option

There’s a common saying that do-ing the same thing

over and over again and expecting a different result is the defi nition of insanity, though if you think about it, it better defi nes stub-bornness or willful ignor-ance than insanity. But the point of the saying remains valid: if something isn’t achieving the desired result, it may be time to try a dif-ferent approach, even when it requires challenging some long-held assumptions.

Gabrielle Glaser did just that in the April 2015 issue of The Atlantic, in an article called “The Irrationality of Alcoholics Anonymous,” which persuasively argues the proposition that society would never combat other diseases the way it seeks to battle alcoholism, namely through a 12-step program

that prescribes one solution for all people.

This is not to say that AA isn’t an option. Glaser writes that AA boasts a success rate, fi rst published in 1955, of 75 per cent, with the caveat being that it only applies to those who went to meetings and “really tried,” with about two-thirds of those success stories get-ting sober right away and the other third struggling with alcohol even after joining AA before eventu-ally recovering. The article points out that other stud-ies have found the overall success rate to be as low as fi ve to eight per cent. What the exact fi gure is is not the issue. As Glaser points out, there are other treatment options, including prescrip-tion medications, that are effective in helping some people stop drinking en-

tirely or reduce their alcohol consumption to a moderate level, the second alternative being one that doesn’t exist with the method adhered to by AA. Indeed, much of what is taken as gospel within the view that abstin-ence is the only solution for alcoholics is not neces-sarily based on evidence or science: the 28-day rehab period, for instance, was essentially decided upon because it took a week to detox, another week for pa-tients to gather themselves together, and a couple more to get stable enough to try to avoid alcohol on their own.

Obviously, the issue of how to deal with alcohol-ism is not a local one, and decisions about whether or not to try different ap-proaches like naltrexone, a drug approved by the Food

and Drug Administration in the United States for treat-ing alcohol abuse in 1994, are under the purview of the health departments of provincial governments. But given that the problems of alcohol abuse and cor-related issues like home-lessness and mental health have been a part of the landscape for longer than anybody wishes, and that unconventional approaches like resolving individual cases of homelessness be-fore taking steps to address alcohol problems have proved effective in Thomp-son and elsewhere, perhaps it may be time that people with alcohol and other sub-stance-abuse problems be approached as individuals with differing treatment needs, rather than impos-ing a one-size-fi ts-all solu-tion.

Reservations

equal segregation

In my own words: family bondTo the Editor:

“Family Bond.” No family is perfect. It’s the growth that builds that trust within and respect for each other. Any family dwelling can build a great relationship in character, in attitude and in respect for each other’s kindness and love. We do experience diffi culties, setbacks, failures, problems and illnesses. During our lives we may endure times of

uncertainty, worry or stress. A family bond may sometime suffer from the consequences of our choices, but families must move on, as there is more in life waiting for you. A family bond is like a front door which is never closed and everyone is welcome.

Ken RossThompson

To the Editor:

Since the beginning of mankind our aboriginal people have suffered. It is now 2015. We have come a long way in society, but little has changed for our aboriginal people. They are segregated on reserve land with little contact to the outside world. They have no road connection to a regu-lar life. In the winter months when the lakes freeze over, the trucking industry makes millions rushing to deliver the food, fuel and everyday supplies to hopefully survive until the next freeze-up. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, then Calm Air Cargo or Buffalo Air goes into action to bring the goods to the people that are treated like third world citizens.

The last time I wrote a letter to the editor I received com-ments such as “we pay enough taxes to provide for aborig-inal people.” I say we need to do more for our aboriginal people. I ask these individuals how would you feel if you went to a corner store and dished out $17 for a jug of milk?

I read the articles in the Winnipeg Free Press that Winni-peg was the most racist city in Canada. From where I sit, it’s not only Winnipeg, it’s all of Canada. Where are the major-ity of our aboriginal people located? They are on reserves with no or very little access to the outside world.

They are Canada’s fi rst people, but all civic, provincial and federal governments treat them like outsiders. We have for-eign workers who come here and representatives are at the airport waiting for them. They are provided with housing and jobs the day they arrive. There is one such residency located on Greenway Crescent right here in Thompson, while aboriginal people stand outside our downtown malls looking for their next meal. Why? Because aboriginal lead-ers remove them from their communities, and they have nowhere to go other than the streets of Thompson.

Then city councillors and business owners start to com-plain that these misguided souls are affecting their place of business. They blame it on the location of the Liquor Mart and the homeless shelter. Their solution is to relocate the Liquor Mart and homeless shelter. Next they put two bylaw offi cers in a vehicle to drive around downtown and move the homeless from the post offi ce back to the Can-adian Tire parking lot and vice-versa. Then we have white vans throughout our city transporting our aboriginal people to medical appointments while the city transit buses run around Thompson 12 hours a day 90 per cent empty except for school times. This is such a waste of our tax dollars.

Our civic, provincial, federal, First Nations and church leaders must set up some type of inquiry to fi nd ways and means to bring our aboriginal people into the 21st century.

When I was growing up in Newfoundland, there were outlying communities much like the reserve communities we have here in Manitoba today. These communities were isolated with no road access. They were served by coastal boats, dog teams and such. The government of the day worked with these communities and at the end of the day a decision was made by the government and local people to relocate to communities of their choice within a current radius.

Why in 2015 can’t the governments of the day come together and provide full access to the outside world by building roads to these reserves for our aboriginal Can-adians? If this is not feasible then relocate the people to communities of their choice, where they have all the op-portunities that other Canadian citizens enjoy.

REMINDER NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR REVISED ELECTRICITY RATES

APPLICANT:MANITOBA HYDRO

APPLICATION:2014/15 & 2015/16 General Rate Application

By Notice of Application and Pre-Hearing Conference dated January 20, 2015, the public was advised that Manitoba Hydro has applied to the Public Utilities Board (Board) of Manitoba for approval of new electricity rates.

Manitoba Hydro has applied to the Public Utilities Board (Board) for approval to finalize a previously granted interim 2.75% rate increase effective May 1, 2014 and implement a 3.95% across-the-board rate increase effective April 1, 2015 to generate additional revenues of $57 million, and a further 3.95% rate increase effective April 1, 2016.

By letter dated January 27, 2015 to Manitoba Hydro (confirmed in Board Order 17/15), the Board indicated that it would only consider finalization of the previously granted interim rates and the proposed increase effective April 1, 2015. In Board Order 17/15, the Board indicated that it will provide further direction, in its final GRA Order, as to any additional information to be filed and considered before determining whether any process should be undertaken for possible April 1, 2016 interim rates.

Manitoba Hydro has also applied to implement Time-of-Use rates for the General Service Large (GSL) Customer Class served at greater than 30 kilovolts, effective April 1, 2016, and approval to change the definition of Billing Demand. Pursuant to Board Order 18/15, the Board determined that it will examine Manitoba Hydro’s time-of-use rate proposal at the cost of service review and not during the current proceeding.

A summary of the proposed rate changes and annual electricity bill impacts for the average residential customer (with and without electric space heat) is provided below:

1 Includes the 2.75% Interim Rate Increase effective May 1, 2014.2 The Board will determine the effective date for any revised 2015 electricity rates.

Manitoba Hydro is also seeking Board approval to:

1. Finalize Light Emitting Diode (LED) rates for the Area and Roadway Lighting Class, approved on an interim basis in Order 79/14;

2. Rescind the Demand Side Management deferral account for the 2012/13 and 2013/14 fiscal years, established in Order 43/13;

3. Finalize the rate approval process for Option 1 of the Surplus Energy Program (SEP) as approved on an interim basis in Order 43/13; and final approval of all interim ex-parte SEP rate orders issued since April 26, 2013 as well as any additional interim ex-parte SEP rate orders issued prior to the Board’s final order in this matter;

4. Finalize the rate approval process for the Curtailable Rate Program (CRP) as approved on an interim basis in Order 43/13; and finalize interim ex-parte Order 46/14 as well as any additional interim ex-parte CRP rate orders issued prior to the Board’s final order in this matter; and,

5. Finalize the Interim Orders related to the four remote communities served by diesel generation, as outlined in Manitoba Hydro’s Application.

It isn’t boating weather outside yet but students from Wapanohk Community School’s afterschool Light-house program have been riding the waves for the past few weeks in a kayaking class at the Norplex Pool.

“Kayaking has really been a hit for them,” said Robert Zoller, who runs the Lighthouse program with his wife on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for youth aged 10 to 15 years old. The focus of the program is on promoting positive activities incor-porating skills, supervision and structure

The kayaking instruction was split into a girls’ group

and a boys’ group, with Ben Sewell and Paul Whissel teaching each class. Sewell and Whissel have both been kayaking for over 20 years, and in 2006 approached the City of Thompson to offer free whitewater kayak-ing clinics. Over the years R.D. Parker Collegiate and Wapanohk have had stu-dents complete the clinics.

For Jade Gossfeld, a Grade 5 student from Wapanohk, it was his fi rst time kayak-ing. “I liked doing the es-cape exits. It was really fun because I got to go under the water. If I ever have the chance, I’ll kayak again.”

Gossfeld joined the Light-house program for some-thing fun to do after school, and to enjoy activities he

doesn’t do on a regular basis. “I’ve made lots of friends, and I’ve had lots of fun.”

During the program, the students and Zoller, as well as volunteers and helpers, cook a meal, and partici-pate in team-building and physical activities. Zoller says they will do special events like kayaking when-ever students bring forward what they’re interested in, and would like to learn. Wapanohk has been run-ning the Lighthouse pro-gram for about seven years now.

Kayaking classes wrapped up for the Lighthouse pro-gram on April 21 and Rachel Wood says it’s shown her what she wants to do when

she grows up. “They’ve been great teachers. When I’m older I want to be a kay-aker now.” The 11-year-old had never been kayaking before, and enjoyed it. “I really like tipping the kayak. This was really new to me, I didn’t know about it until Mr. Zoller went to each class and asked if we wanted to kayak.”

Wood says the Light-house program is something she looks forward to every week, and is excited to do the activities she’s never done before.

The program, which is funded under Child and Youth Opportunities, will continue with different spe-cial activities until summer holidays.

The fi rst prize-winning photograph will be used by the Thompson Chamber

of Commerce to promote Thompson for tourism and business relocation on their website for a year and will be chosen by a panel of judges selected because of their understanding of how photos tell a story and their love for Thompson and de-sire to see it improve and grow – deputy mayor Penny Byer, Chris Sundevic, Lynn Taylor, Tanna Teneycke and Coun. Duncan Wong.

The people’s choice award will be open for voting until from Friday until 3 p.m. on

Some of the photograph-ers vying for the prizes in-clude Angel Meyer Ander-son, Hugh Fraser, Khawar Habib, Tony Loewen and Mike Parsons.

In addition to City Cen-tre Mall, the contest is be-ing sponsored by Kentucky Fried Chicken, which cov-ered the cost of insurance, and Ron Dearman of Mayer Dearmand and Pellizzaro, who is drafting the win-ners’s contract. Other prizes

include a backpack of gifts from Assiniboine Credit Union, The Brick and other businesses.

TABE is hoping that the contest will be a fi rst step toward launching a photo adventuring industry in Thompson. The group also hopes to get council’s ap-proval for a proposed festival with a laser light show by Doug McCullough of Laser Show Design as well as per-formances by local bands and dances, artisans and food vendors.

The Thompson Days Inn & Suites picked up an award during the Wynd-ham Hotel Group Global Conference in Las Vegas in March. These awards are given annually to the top Days Inn properties across the country.

Mark Slotta, owner and operator for the Thompson hotel, says it’s an honour. “It’s what we strive for, good customer service, so it’s nice to be recognized for that.”

Thompson won the Guest Choice Award, which is based on scores from sur-

veys guests fi lled out after their stay and from reviews on Trip Advisor. Thompson received best overall score from all over Canada on the survey, which focuses on customer service, cleanli-ness and overall experi-ence.

Slotta says it wouldn’t have been possible without Pat Swain, general man-ager, as well as all the hotel staff. The Thompson Days Inn & Suites was also nom-inated for best housekeep-ing and placed in the top three from across Canada for that category, but didn’t end up taking home the award.

The results are in and it’s offi cial: Provincial Road 280 to Split Lake and Gillam received the most votes as Manitoba’s worst road in CAA Manitoba’s annual cam-paign.

The unpaved highway heads northeast from PR 391 and is the only road link for Split Lake and Gillam.

Members of Tataskweyak cree Nation blockaded the road last August to protest its condition and demand improvements.

“The CAA Worst Roads Campaign helps us understand the priorities of Manitobans,” said Minister of Infra-structure and Transportation Ron Kostyshyn in a CAA Manitoba press release announcing the winner. “We have used feedback from previous campaigns to help guide us as we develop highway improvement plans. In partnership with Manitoba Hydro, we have spent over $14 million since 2010 upgrading PR 280 and plan to

spend another $25 million in the next two years.”He also said improvements to PR 280 were among

$5.5 billion worth of infrastructure spending over fi ve years that the provincial government has planned.

“The problem is that our roads had been ignored for so long,” says Mike Mager, president and CEO of CAA Manitoba. “We are still playing catch up. It’s not where we want it to be, but by identifying the priorities we can go to government and ask them to lay out their plans. This campaign isn’t about complaining or fi nding the biggest pothole. It’s about identifying the problems, then lobbying for permanent change. We are glad this campaign gets people talking, but moreover, roads are getting fi xed. There is a lot of work to do.”

PR 280 bumped St. James Street in Winnipeg – voted the province’s worst in 2014 and 2012 – to second place in this year’s online poll, which received a record high of 6,016 votes cast, more than in any of the previous three years it has run.

PR 280 is scheduled to receive $28 million worth of improvements cost-shared by the provincial government and Manitoba Hydro. Following last summer’s blockade, NDP Minister of Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Eric Robinson said planning would begin immediately with the goal of starting that roadwork within 12 months.

Chief Duke Beardy of Tataskweyak Cree Nation (TCN) wrote the provincial government a letter April 10 about worsening conditions on PR 280. It said that because of additional traffi c, heavy machinery and transport trucks on the highway connecting Split Lake and Gil-lam to Thompson, resulting from the construction of the Keeyask Generating Station project, the conditions are not safe. “Our members drive this highway on a daily basis and have long-held concerns about the un-safe driving conditions. Many of our members have fi rsthand experience with the result of these conditions, be it through damage to their vehicles or, in the worst cases, personal tragedy.”

Medal caps memorable tripBY IAN [email protected]

They didn’t come back with the gold, but Can-ada’s women’s curling team at the 2015 Deafl ym-pics did wind up with the bronze and team mem-ber Brenda Davidson of Thompson says the whole experience was a thrill.

“The curling was awe-some,” said Davidson, who is hard of hearing after losing some hear-ing as a child and com-peted alongside Sylvia Sigurdson, Sarah Rabu and Donna McLeod from Winnipeg. “The ice condi-tions were really good. We came home with a medal. We were happy with that.”

The trip to the Deafl y-mpics, which were held in Khanty-Mansyiysk, Rus-sia, northeast of Sochi, site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, was Davidson’s fi rst visit to continental Europe – she’d been to London en route to Zim-babwe before. And while she would have liked to have had more time to take in the sights, most of her days were spent eating, playing and shut-tling back and forth from the curling venue to their hotel.

“The curling was pretty intense so that was our focus,” Davidson says.

The Canadian women wound up third despite losing only two games at the tournament – both of them to China. The Canadians dropped their opening game of the round robin, when David-son says they had the jit-ters, then won the rest to fi nish fi rst in their pool, which pitted them against China again in a playoff. China fi nished with sil-

ver after losing the fi nal to Russia, while the Can-adians beat Croatia for the bronze.

Overall, Davidson said the team performed well.

“We all worked well together,” she said, with good communication and team spirit and thanks to a lot of help from their fi ll-in coach Chris Hamb-lin, who was coaching the men’s team with her hus-band Lorne. “I think we curled awesome.”

Kathy Overton-Clapham, who had been working with the team since they qualifi ed for the Deafl ympics at the Nation-al Deaf Curling Trials in 2014, couldn’t make the trip to Russia, so Hamblin stepped up, working with the team at the games and when they trained for a few days in Toronto prior to departing.

“They were just won-derful coaches,” David-son said. “It was amaz-

ing that they volunteered their time with our men’s and women’s team and they really helped us to bring our game to a higher level.”

The trip started off in Toronto, where all of Can-ada’s Deafl ympics ath-letes gathered before the games. The curling team practised for a few days there and left for Russia on March 24 after a send-off party with all the other athletes at the Deaf Cul-ture Centre the day before.

The games kicked off with opening ceremonies.

“They had it at a really nice arena,” Davidson said, and the streets out-side that led to the city square where the Deafl y-mpics fl ame was lit were lined with spectators. “It was completely packed.”

The closing ceremonies were also amazing, said Davidson, with a dance performance accompanied by drums and a low horn that were perfect for deaf spectators.

“You could feel it,” she said.

Part of the fun of taking part in the games was be-ing exposed to deaf people from all over the world, seeing different sign lan-guages and comparing the signs they used. Repre-senting Canada – some-thing Davidson says she’d always dreamed about – was also a highlight.

“It was great,” she said, thanking everyone in Thompson and Northern Manitoba who helped the team get to Russia and cheered them on. “The Burntwood Curling Club executive, members and friends played a big part in helping me to raise funds to get to Russia as well as many generous community members and I will never forget their generosity.”

R.D. Parker Collegiate’s Alyssa Campbell qualifi ed for high

school badminton provincials in Winkler this weekend by

winning the varsity girls’ singles division at the Zone 11

badminton championships in Thompson April 24-25.

Trojans going

to provincialsBY IAN [email protected]

Five Thompson athletes will be representing R.D. Parker Collegiate at the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Associa-tion badminton provincials in Winkler May 1-2 after either winning their divisions or losing in the fi nals at the Zone 11 badminton championship at RPDC April 24-25.

RDPC’s Alyssa Campbell defeated Vienna Fetterly of Mar-garet Barbour Collegiate Institute (MBCI) in The Pas in the varsity girls’ singles fi nal to book her berth in provincials. Campbell was the only RDPC player to fi nish in the top three in boys’ or girls’ singles.

Noman Khawar and Savannah Szocs were RDPC’s other zone champions, defeating Ashontae Clemons and Keval Patel of MBCI in the senior mixed doubles fi nal.

RDPC was also in the running for the senior girls’ doubles championship, but Paige Krentz and Kendra Hanson fell to Tori Lavallee and Trina Mitchell of Grand Rapids School in the fi nal.

The A/AA team banner for the school whose athletes accumulated the most points based on their results went to Frontier Collegiate Institute of Cranberry Portage, which garnered 55 points, with Grand Rapids School second with 40 points and Gillam School third with 10 points.

RDPC fi nished on top of the AAA team rankings with 61 points, while MBCI had 37 and Hapnot Collegiate Institute of Flin Flon got 19.

In the junior varsity tournament, RDPC swept the jun-ior girls’ doubles top three, with Blair Bodie and Kali Cum-mings defeating Logan Bobesko and Hannah Murray in the fi nal, while Mikaela Koutecky and Kennedy Murray fi nished third.

Sheraz Butt and Daksh Vyas of RDPC got past school-mates Cruz Mitchell and Jashan Sandhu to win the junior boys’ doubles title.

Camryn Turton and Jack Kennedy of RDPC lost to Maddy Lies and Jayden Laliberty of Hapnot in the junior mixed doubles fi nal. Geri Darechuk and David King of RDPC were third.

Knights title still with WestwoodBY IAN [email protected]

Westwood Elementary School’s championship streak at the Knights of Columbus indoor track meet extended to a baker’s dozen April 24 at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena as the Vi-kings fi nished with a grand total of 164 points, 55 more than the second-place Riverside Rams.

To put the length of the streak into perspec-tive, students graduat-ing from high school this year weren’t yet in kin-dergarten the last time the Vikings didn’t claim the trophy.

Deerwood Elementary School was knocked out

of the runner-up pos-ition it had occupied for four straight years this time around and fi nished

fourth with 63 points, 14 behind the Burntwood Bobcats who moved up one position from last

year. Juniper was once again

fi fth with 41 points. Wapanohk Commun-ity School was sixth with 11 points and La Voie du Nord seventh with nine points as the sixth- and seventh-place schools swapped spots from last year.

The Juniper Jaguars were tops in shot put with a grand total of eight points, while Westwood fi nished fi rst in the other six categories: high jump, 300 metres, 50 metres, co-ed relay and 4x100-metre relay, as well as the 1,000 metres, in which they were tied with Burnt-wood for the top position.

Now that the Northern Manitoba version of spring has arrived, the ice is out of the arenas and the swishing of blades has been replaced by the squeak of sneakers with the lacrosse season underway.

Thompson Lacrosse As-sociation president Glenn Laycock said he expected registration numbers to be in the usual 160 to 180 player range this season and that he was pleased to have a good turnout when they held the association’s annual general meeting.

“This year [board pos-itions] were fi lled pretty quick,” said Laycock. “My job is easy when everyone shows up.”

The arrival of new people in town has brought some fresh blood to the organ-ization and Laycock says it’s important to have that infl ux of younger people to the sports volunteers corps.

Local lacrosse players are also making Thompson lacrosse known in bigger circles.

“Taylor Ritchie made the junior team down south,” Laycock says, and another player is planning to try out for the Team Manitoba midget squad that will rep-resent the province at na-tionals.

Laycock says anyone in-terested in trying out the game is always welcome, even if they missed registra-tion events.

“We don’t shut down registration,” he said
