Operation Red Nose kicked off their 16th season in Thompson on Nov. 14. The volunteer-based service is a way for people to get home safe this holiday season, without drinking and driv-ing.

A team will pick up cit-izens from anywhere they’ve been drinking, and not only will the Operation Red Nose team drive them home, they will also bring their car home safely, too.

Terri-Lynn Turton, co-ordinator for Operation Red Nose says the sponsors make this service possible. “The community supporters who helped make a difference the very fi rst year, and con-tinue their support are the City of Thompson, Manitoba Public Insurance, the RCMP, Thompson Ford, Robin’s Donuts, Calm Air and the

Lakeview Inn and Suites.”Operation red nose has

been operating in the prov-ince for the past 20 years, with Manitoba Public In-surance as the provincial sponsor. “Provincially, MPI supports each local group’s funding. The local MPI branch supports Thompson behind the scenes, in addi-tion to taking one night to volunteer,” says Turton.

This year the organization is selling prepaid vouchers for rides. Rides are at no cost to the individual, but vouchers can be bought to ensure you will receive a ride that night. One voucher is $10, and 12 vouchers are $100. To buy these tickets contact Turton personally at 204-939-0717, or visit the Operation Red Nose page on Facebook. Rides are also being offered to Paint Lake, but it’s asked that those


The annual craft sale at Westwood Elementary School has been happening for over 20 years, and each year new vendors, and new customers come through the doors. Denise Tucker, the or-ganizer for this year’s sale, didn’t have an exact sales fi gure, but estimated it was around the same as last year. “The traffi c is around equal to what it has been in other years. Last year we made $1,800. Our silent auction for our special needs chil-dren does between $900 to $1,000 annually also. We usually do really well, and it’s important we get the traffi c to help out the silent auction.”

The money in the dona-tion pot will go to the school’s

student activity fund, says Tucker. “The money we make, it pays for attend-ance for our students to go to Manitoba Theatre for Young People, helps pay for fi eld trips and buses too. All students benefi t from this sale.”

Doreen Asplund has been taking part in Thompson craft sales for over 40 years now, and says she makes good money at Westwood. “Everything I make is home-made. I even pick the berries from the bush. I’m enjoying myself here today, and I’m getting good business here.”

Tucker says this sale will continue annually, as long as the customers keep com-ing, vender continue to make their pieces, and organizers step up to the task.

Travelling from Ontario, Allan Fraser and Marianne Girard will take the stage for the next Home Routes concert. For over a year the two have been playing together by the name of Fraser & Girard. “We have actually known each other through the music scene for a long time. I met Allan when I started out in 1974. We occasionally crossed paths for 30 years, and then he moved to Toronto a few years ago, so I ran into him a lot more at clubs. He asked me to go for tea one night, and that is where it started,” says Girard.

With a guitar in hand, and two voices ready to be heard, the duo will be in Thompson for the concert on Nov. 20.

Fraser said growing up in Nova Scotia really kick-started his musical career because of music festivals and jamborees. “In the Nova Scotia school sys-tem there were adjudicated music festivals between schools, so I was getting a lot of training there. A lot were folk songs and sea shanties. I excelled at that.”

Girard’s older brother helped her into the busi-ness by making her his accompanist. Girard says she knew from early on

that the need to write music was there. “I had a really turbulent childhood and adolescence, and my adolescence was through the sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll era, and music pretty much saved my life. I needed some sort of meaning and expression as I grew up in a rather depressed household. The emotional need started me off as a songwriter.”

Fraser & Girard say they are mostly folk, with a combination of differ-ent infl uences. “We have a lot of different infl uences. Pop, southern rock, trad-itional and blues infl uen-ces. It almost sounds like Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and The Beatles.”

Girard says they are ex-

cited to play in Thompson. “The fact that we’ve never been to Thompson, or the northern parts of the prov-inces, so that’s new and we’re looking forward to it. I want to learn more about Thompson. When I go to places I don’t know, it’s interesting to learn their culture.”

The pair is currently re-cording their debut album, and once they’re fi nished touring will be applying for festivals and doing admin-istration work. “Now you pretty much do everything. Musicians become market-ers and managers of their own acts, so we have to set all that up until the New Year,” says Fraser.

Fraser & Girard are working with Indiegogo and crowd funding their

album. “This is how we are fi nancing our album. With people’s help in ex-change for an album and a free download, they can contribute, and pre-buy the album. It’s an opportunity to contribute to the cultural life of the community.”

So far the band has raised more than $4,000 towards their $7,500 goal. To get more information on the crowd funding cam-paign visit http://www.fra-serandgirard.com.

Fraser & Girard will be performing Nov. 20, at 206 Campbell Drive, starting at 7:15pm. Tickets are $20. To fi nd out about Home Routes, and other upcom-ing concerts email Tim and Jean Cameron at [email protected] or call 204-677-3574.

During the kickoff, Fire Chief John Maskerine stated that this service is a priceless Christmas gift. “I believe that Operation Red Nose is one of the greatest Christmas gifts you could get for free. These people are out to get you, and get you home safe.” Maskerine spoke about getting home safe, and making it home alive, urging people to use this free of charge service all December.

Operation Red Nose will be driving starting on Nov. 28 and Nov. 29. After those dates, drivers will be avail-able every Friday and Sat-urday in December. Rides begin at 9 p.m. and will run until 3 a.m. On New Year’ss Even rides begin at 8 p.m.

Deputy Mayor Penny Byer attended the kick-off and congratulated the Operation Red Nose team on the service they provide. “I want to congratulate you on the work that you’re do-ing; the fact that you get so much participation from the city, businesses, and or-

ganizations. The fact that you can attract that many volunteers when so many organizations are crying for volunteers speaks very well of how you run your organization.”

This year, Dolly Anand has been named honourary chairperson because of all the help Robin’s provides the organization.

Operation Red Nose is looking for volunteers to drive this holiday season. The team is also sending out a challenge to all the city of Thompson residents, and businesses. “We are personally issuing a chal-lenge to the city of Thomp-son, the health authority, all banking institutions, all car dealerships, all schools, and non-profi t groups,” said Turton. “All it takes is three people to make a team.”

Another key to the city has been given to Judge Mur-ray Thompson and his wife Linda Webstob. A presen-tation was made on Nov. 1, during a farewell reception at Riverlodge Place. Mayor Den-nis Fenske presented the key to the couple. “Judge Thomp-son and his wife Linda have been active members of the community. Not only through their professional careers, but also as dedicated community volunteers.”

This past summer the couple left Thompson for Winnipeg. Fenske says the key was a token of the city’s appreciation for them while they were here. “Judge Thompson’s and Linda’s dedication and efforts have left a lasting impression on our community and they will

be greatly missed.”Thompson’s legal career

started in Thompson in 1986. He began as an articling stu-dent, and in 2003 Thompson became a judge. Thompson, passionate about prevention and early intervention, is well known in the city for this vol-unteer experience.

Thompson was been in-volved with the Thompson Community Foundation, the Aboriginal Art Centre of Northern Manitoba, the Thompson Crisis Centre, Winterfest, Toastmasters, the Thompson access exchange centre, and the Thompson community centre project committee.

Wenstob, Thompson’s wife, started her career in Thompson in 1991 with the Canadian Mental Health Association. After moving through Child and Family

Services, and the School District of Myystery Lake, Wenstob found her spot at MacDonald Youth Services.

Just like her husband, Wenstob is known in the community for her volun-teer experience. She has been a part of Healthy Child Manitoba, the band parents association, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and parent council at Burntwood Elementary School. Wenstob also was a coach for the Spe-cial Olympics, sat on the stra-tegic planning citizens com-mittee, and was a billet mom for the Northstars.

Their key to the city reads: “The honourable judge Mur-ray Thompson and Linda Wenston, in recognition of your contribution and com-munity service from 1986-2014 to the city of Thomp-son.”

Jonathon Validen, the son of the late Dr. Charles Validen, an obstetrician-gynecologist who used to practise in Thompson, died in a motorcycle accident in Guyana Nov. 13.

The younger Validen, 43 at the time of his death, had moved to Guyana after his father died there in 2012 under mysterious circum-stances, prompting several imposters to come forward attempting to claim his con-siderable estate. Jonathon Validen lived in Manitoba prior to moving to Guyana.

Guyanese newspapers reported that the fatal ac-cident happened around 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 13.

Charles Validen died on or around Aug. 27, 2012

in Triumph, East Coast Demerara in Guyana, but his body wasn’t discovered until his maid arrived a few days later and found his bedroom door locked. Re-ceiving no response, the maid called police, who arrived and broke down the door to discover the doctor’s corpse on the bed.

As many as 10 people came forward pretending to be the wealthy doc-tor’s next of kin before the brother of Charles Validen’s ex-wife Susan Anderson, who had committed suicide in Scotland a few months before, informed the fu-neral home where the doc-tor’s body lay that he had located Jonathon Validen, who went to Guyana for his father’s funeral on Oct. 8, 2012.

Thompson resident Es-ther Latchman was also at that funeral. Latchman knew the Validen family in Guyana, where she was employed as Jonathon’s nanny, and in Thompson, where she was the nanny of Jonathon’s younger sis-ter Claire, who died a few years before her father.

Charles Validen moved back to Guyana four or fi ve years prior to his death. He lived in St. Andrew’s, Manitoba before going back to his native country.

Jonathon Validen had a wife and one-year-old daughter in Guyana, ac-cording to an article in the Guyana Times, which also said that she and her brother believed the acci-dent might have been the result of a hit-and-run.

In my own words:

Love at the front doorTo the Editor:

Not all of our lives are fi lled with uncertainty, pain and unknowns. Although some lives are squashed by skepticism and we won-der if there is anyone out there afraid to love us. Im-pact by lifestyle and hold-ing unto emotions, we have that fear of losing people we love. Again, some in-

dividuals hold into mater-ialistic things like there is no tomorrow. I for one do not hold onto materialistic things. Is “love at the front door” always the corner-stone of abundance in dis-covering who you really love in your life?

Ken RossThompson

We can’t tell the stories until you tell them to usAs you look

through the pages of this

newspaper in any given week, you may come across stories about one-time residents who no longer live in the city, some of whom have gone on to great accom-plishments and others who have met a tragic end. This is not unusual. Great news travels fast and bad new even fast-er. But we know there are a lot more stories out there, ones that fall somewhere in between on the spectrum of tri-umph and tragedy.

Recently, the Thomp-son Citizen ran a story on R.D. Parker Collegi-ate graduate Dave Sa-fronetz, now an accom-plished researcher in the field of microbiology and viruses, who had recently returned from

the West African country of Liberia, where he as-sisted in efforts to help control the spread of the Ebola virus that has rav-aged the region over the past several months. In that case, three people alerted us to the story, including two other for-mer residents and one current Thompsonite, a former teacher at RDPC. Thanks to the excellent information provided by the first person to tip us off, by the time the second tip came in, we’d already been in touch with Safronetz and, by the time the third one arrived, we’d inter-viewed him and printed his story.

But that was more the exception than the norm and often we don’t hear about events or inter-esting episodes involv-ing current or former

Thompsonites until after they’re long over, or perhaps we don’t hear about them at all. That’s where we rely on you.

The truth is, long-time residents of Thompson will always be more plugged into the net-work of former citizens than newer arrivals and we rely on you to be our eyes and ears for stor-ies that may otherwise fly under the radar. And while we can’t guaran-tee that every idea we receive will find its way into the newspaper, we can guarantee that those we never hear about most certainly won’t. So as you talk with old friends who’ve moved south, or east, or west, or even north, don’t be afraid to pass some in-formation along. Odds are that if you are in-terested, others will be

too, and our job is to tell the stories that touch Thompson to our read-ers, whether the subjects of those stories are still here within city limits or out there in the greater world. A community is defined by its people and, as anyone who’s spent time away can tell you, the tug of one’s hometown is some-thing that never dis-appears, no matter how many miles away you go. What’s more, given the number of people who’ve spent time living in Thompson over the years, there must be a lot of former Thompson-ites out there with inter-esting tales to tell their former neighbours. But, as one person passing an idea on has told us, “We, in Thompson, do not do a very good job of promoting our own.”

Editorial

I can’t wait for this weekend! I just love community theatre

and I believe Thompson Playhouse is one of the best in the province. I may be a little biased being the president/director but I can’t take credit for the amazing talents of our cast for the play you will see this week-end.

The Red Velvet Cake War will be performed by Thompson Playhouse Fri-day and Saturday night start-ing at 7 p.m. The three Verdeen cousins – Gaynelle (Coral Bennett), Peaches (Delsie Jack), and Jimmie (Angela Wolfe) – could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. Aunt LaMerle (Serena Puranen) is the hateful matriarch to the family and tries to stop the reunion. Having “accidentally” crashed her minivan through the bedroom wall of her husband’s girlfriend’s doublewide, Gaynelle is one frazzled nerve away from a spectacular melt-down. Peaches, the number one mortuarial cosmetologist, is struggling to decide if it’s time to have her long-absent trucker husband declared dead. Jimmie, the rough-around-the-edges store manager, is resorting to extreme measures to outmaneuver a priss-pot neighbour Bitsy (Debby Be-lyea) for the affection of Thompson’s newest widower. Be-tween Uncle Aubrey (Ryan Barker) a cantankerous funny old coot, Newt (Anthony Wake) who can’t seem to hang on to his eyeball, Mama Doll (Lindsey Lisk), Sheriff Gro-ver (Kevin Hopton), Cee Cee (Sandi Knight), cousin Purvis (Alex White) and Elsa (Robyn Foley), the court-appointed psychologist, your head will be spinning as you witness one crazy family reunion. With the girls looking for the Thomp-son time capsule in MacLean Park for Mary Fenske’s secret recipe you’ll soon fi nd out who makes the best red velvet cake. This is one Thompson play you don’t want to miss.

Get your tickets at Co-op, Don Johnson Jewellers or Qual-ity Inn. A great way to spend $10 this weekend! Oh, and red velvet cupcakes will be for sale during intermission.

The University of Mani-toba (UM) and University College of the North (UCN) teamed up on Nov. 15, for the Northern Manitoba re-search network forum. The forum, which was held at UCN, featured workshops, and open talks. Dr. Marleny Bonnycastle, an assistant professor at the University of Manitoba, helped create this event. “This is a new initiative that Dr. Maureen Simpkins from UCN and I started working a year ago on. We’re trying to call on people from Northern Manitoba who are inter-ested in doing research or are consumers of research, and talking about how we can do research together. How we can mobile the knowledge that we have generating in Thompson.”

The initiative is lead by both universities, says Bonnycastle, but doesn’t exclude non-students and professors. “The idea of this is led by the two universities, but the idea is we will engage service

provides, decision makers, and community agencies and everyone else interest-ed in the research world.”

The research is infor-

mation pertaining to the north, focusing on social issues northern areas face. During the informa-tion sessions, Bonnycastle

says she noticed some concerns. “People are do-ing research in the north from the south. Their re-ports, data, and fi ndings

are then created in the south, and people in the north are not benefi tting from that. Another issue is people don’t know where to fi nd the information. If there is any research done about a certain topic, they might not know about that previous research.”

Around 40 people par-ticipated in the morning workshops. The fi rst one was called ownership, control, access and posses-sion. (OCAP) “The fi rst one was about ethics, and we had a representative from the Association of Mani-toba Chiefs. We talked about the ethics process to develop research on First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities,” says Bonnycastle.

The second and third workshops focused on more training. A librar-ian from UM developed a class on knowledge mo-bilization. Information was shared on creating an online repository for northern knowledge and research. Bonnycastle and Simpkins then taught a

workshop on photo-voice. Photo-voice is a tool for re-search participants to use in sharing their stories, usually in a visual manner.

Participants who took part in the workshops had the chance to discuss what they learned during an open space program after, said Bonnycastle. “Open space invited people who could support any type of research by funding, technical support, know-ledge and so on. We had six tables, and participants rotated around the tables and got more ideas of what they want to see, and what kind of support they want and need.”

The hope of this forum was to engage more people to get involved in the net-work, says Bonnycastle, who wants to see com-munity members, students at UM, and UCN, and busi-nesses speak together on how research can be im-proved in the north, and how the network can grow, and more research can be collected.


A craft show currently in Thompson is not only helping Thompson, but also developing countries. Ten Thousand Villages, which started in 1946, is a way for Canadians to work with artisans from all over the world to help sell their pieces. “It always targeted countries that had a lot of poverty and needed a mar-ket for their products. Es-pecially for small entrepre-neurs who had the ability to do things, but couldn’t sell it in the bigger market where they lived,” says Bea Shantz, a volunteer for the event.

Shantz has been vol-unteering in Thompson with Ten Thousand Villa-ges since 1989. She says because of the need, the festival sale is now being offered through out the week as well as the week-end. “That has helped to provide the opportunity for customers to shop at their convenience.”

Not only are the festival sales selling artisans’ prod-ucts, Ten Thousand Villa-ges also takes considera-tion into their family needs, too, says Shantz. “When Ten Thousand Villages talks with the artisans they talk about fair pricing. They talk about their ne-cessities being covered like food, clothing, housing, children’s care and medi-

cine. Then the artisan is then given 50 per cent fi rst when the order is placed. This gives them money to buy the materials.” After the pieces are made and shipped, the other 50 per cent is given to them.

Shantz says sales fl uc-tuate, depending on the year, and the desire from customers. “Our sales vary from year to year. Some years it’s $10,000 to $14,000. A number of years we’ve seen $20,000 worth of sales.”

Items at the festival sale range from chocolates to jewelry, fashion to Christ-mas decorations and every-thing else in between.

Ten Thousand Villa-

ges has opened stores all throughout Canada and are continuously working with different artisans. Festival sales like this one happen to promote the stores, and the idea of buying inter-nationally to help others. Shantz says by purchas-ing a piece at this festi-val sale the customer will also be helping Thompson. “When you buy from Ten Thousand Villages you are supporting people in third world countries, where poverty is rampant. It gives them a fair living. Also they allow us to save 10 per cent of total sales here to use for expenses. After that is paid then that money is used to help pro-

grams in town.”This year Ten Thousand

Villages will be contribut-ing to the Wapanohk Com-munity School breakfast program, as well as the Rotary splash pad.

Shantz says in pervious years they’ve donated money to the homeless shelter, the women’s crisis centre, the Boys & Girls Club, and many others.

The festival sale con-tinues until Nov. 22. It’s being held at the Lutheran United Church at 52 Cari-bou Road. Doors open dur-ing the week at 2 p.m. and they’re open until 8 p.m. Saturday the festival will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

During the regular school board meeting for the School District of Mystery Lake on Nov. 12, Caroline Winship made a presentation about allowing her 11-year-old son into the Grade 6 band program. “It is our under-standing the School District of Mystery Lake does not yet have a policy regarding partial enrollment of home schooled children. Past prac-tice has allowed for home schooled students to be per-mitted in this district’s pro-gramming, including Colin, who was partially enrolled in 2009 in both music and physical education at river-side school.”

Colin Winship also spoke

during the presentation, say-ing since he was fi ve years old he’s always wanted to

play music. During the sum-mer, Winship took part in a band camp. “When I came

home I told my dad, brothers and sister, I couldn’t wait to join the band. The very next

day my mom told me home-schoolers were no longer al-lowed, and I was quite dis-appointed that I would never get in.”

Although, there have been no further talks within the School District of Mystery Lake yet, board chairperson Leslie Tucker says that will happen in December. “The superintendents will bring forth background informa-tion for the new trustees in December and the board will work closely with the super-intendents from there to en-sure a timely, comprehensive response.

Winship passed out documents regarding home schools in the province, and information about funding. “It is clear from all of these

documents that it is well within your power, policy, and legislature to allow our son Colin to be admitted into the Grade 6 band program. It is also clear that funding is available on a pro-rated basis, and that we meet the criteria,” says Winship.

Colin Winship says even though the answer still re-mains a no, he is hopeful one day he will be admit-ted. “It is still my dream to someday be in the school band, and I pray about it every night. I would work really hard, and be-have the very best I can. School board of Mystery Lake, please allow me, Colin Winship, to join the Grade 6 band and make my dreams come true.”

The City of Thompson requires that all dogs and cats owned in Thompson be licensed and are wearing a city tag.

What is required to get a license?

In order to apply for a dog/cat license, you must provide

a certifi cate showing that your pet is up to date with its

rabies vaccinations.

• Dogs/Cats over the age of four months must be

licensed.

• If your pet isn’t old enough to be spayed/neutered

you can still receive the lower cost of licensing

your pet. You will need to provide a receipt from

a veterinary clinic that you have prepaid for your

pet to be spayed/neutered, and then you will be

entitled to the lower cost of licensing your pet.

Benefi ts to licensing your animal:

• If your dog/cat goes missing, having them

licensed drastically improves your chances of

getting them back. A license tag helps animal

control quickly identify your pet and get him back

to you safely.

• Licensing lets people know that your pet is up to date on its rabies vaccinations. A dog/cat cannot

be licensed unless it is properly vaccinated. Animal control or a Good Samaritan will be much more

likely to want to handle and care for your missing pet if they know that it is vaccinated.

• The cost of the license is far less than the penalty for being caught without one. If a City

Offi cial fi nds your pet without a license,the owner shall be liable to a fi ne as specifi ed in the City of

Thompson Fee and fi ne Schedule as it exists.

Santa Claus is coming to townBY MOLLY GIBSON [email protected]

The snow is here, and the Christmas decorations are fi lling the stores, so that must mean one thing: Christmas is on the way. To celebrate the start of the holiday season the recreation, parks and cul-ture department within the City of Thompson and Hello Parents have joined together to host a Christmas parade. The kickoff to Christmas will take place on Nov. 29.

John Burrows, director for recreation, parks and culture says it will be held at the Thompson Regional Com-munity Centre (TRCC) this

year. “In the past it’s been held at City Hall, but City Hall is getting a little cramped, and we have the space and facilities, so we thought, why not try to expand it? We will be offering indoor and out-door activities and we will have the tree lighting here inside the TRCC.”

Activities will start with the community Christmas parade at 2 p.m.. The parade route has changed this year says Burrows. “It starts on Cree Road and Hemlock Crescent, then proceeds up Cree Road to Thompson Drive, turning left onto Thompson Drive, continuing on to UCN Drive

and into the TRCC parking area.”

Drivers are to take note the parade is happening. “We do block off some of the streets. Cree Road is not the road to take from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.. Thompson Drive will be blocked off for a short duration while the parade winds into UCN Drive,” says Burrows.

Floats are open to any-one in the city, and ap-plications can be found at the front reception of the TRCC. Applications are due by Nov. 22, one week before the event.

Burrows hopes all fam-ilies come out, and join in on the fun. “We’re hoping to have some sleigh rides if there’s snow available. We’re hoping to have manmade hills for sledding, indoor games like soccer, vol-leyball and floor hockey will be available in the TRCC. Plus there will be hot chocolate and good-ies passed out.”

Santa will also be stop-ping in during the event, to take pictures and see what the children of Thompson want this year for the holidays.

The Bounteous Lord heard the painful cry of the humanity and so,

He sent Guru Nanak to this world to liberate the world form woes and sor-rows. (Bhai Gurdas Ji)

On Nov. 6 the local Pun-jabi community celebrated the birthday of the fi rst Sikh Prophet, the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak

Sahib with great reverence at Gurdawara Khalsa Dar-bar located in Southwood Plaza.

Guru Nanak Sahib was born on April 15, 1469 at Rai-Bhoi-di Talwandi in the present district of Shekhupura (Pakistan), now Nanakana Sahib. The birthday of Guru Nanak Sahib is celebrated on 15th Kartik Puranmashi i.e. full moon day of the month Kartik. Guru Nanak’s father, Mehta Kalyan Das, more popularly known as Mehta Kalu, was the chief accountant of local ruler Rai Bular. Guru Nanak‘s mother was Mata Tripta, a simple, pious and ex-tremely religious woman. Nanak had an elder sister, Nanki.

Nanak was an extra-ordinary and different child in many ways. God provided him with con-templative mind and rational thinking. He sur-

prised his teachers with the sublimity of his extra-ordinary knowledge about divine things. At the age of 13, he learned Persian, Hindi and Sanskrit and at the age of 16, he was the most learned young man in the region. He was married to Mata Sula-khni ji, who gave birth to two sons: Sri Chand and Lakhmi Das. In November 1504, Guru Nanak’s elder sister Nanaki ji took him to Sultanpurlodhi where her husband Jai Ram ji got him the Job of storekeeper in the Modikhana of the local Nawab (ruler) Daulat Khan Lodhi.

Guru Nanak was dedi-cated to the service of mankind since his child-hood. For him there was no Hindu, Muslim or Christian but only the one humanity with the light of one God. At the age of 38, he undertook long travels to preach his unique and

divine doctrine (Sikhism). After visiting different places in Punjab, he decid-ed to proceed on four long tours covering different religious places in India and abroad. These tours are called Char Udasis of Guru Nanak Sahib.

During the four jour-neys, Guru Nanak Sahib visited different religious places of various reli-gions of the day in India and abroad spreading the message of the God and preaching Sikhism. He went to religious places of Hindus and other sects in different parts of India. Guru Nanak Sahib vis-ited Muslim holy places of Mecca, Medina and Baghdad in the middle east. Some latest accounts say that Guru Sahib also visited Syria, Turkey, Italy, Egypt Kenya, Teh-ran, Kabul, Kandhar and Jalalabad. He also visited Russia and Nepal. The real aim of the tour was awakening the people to realize the truth about God and to introduce Sikhism. He established a network of preaching centres of Sikhism which were called “Manjis”. He appointed able and com-mitted followers as its head (preacher of Sikh-ism). The seeds of Sikh-ism were sown all over India and abroad in well-planned manner.

In the year 1520, Babar attacked India. His troops slaughtered thousands of innocent civilians of all walks of life. Women and children were made cap-tives and all their property looted at Amiabad. Guru Nanak Sahib challenged this act of barbarity in strong words. He was ar-rested but shortly after he made Babar realize his blunder. Babar released Guru Nanak and all the prisoners along with him.

Local runner named Athletics Manitoba midget male athlete of the year

BY SHAUN KENNEDYSPECIAL TO THE

THOMPSON CITIZEN

On Nov. 3, Thomp-son’s Jack Kennedy was named the Athletics Manitoba midget male athlete of the year. This award goes to a track and field athlete who has had the best athletic year and encompasses the indoor and outdoor seasons. Jack was also nominated for the over-all sprint male athlete for the year.

Jack’s year started with the several indoor meets that culminated with the Boeing Indoor Games in Winnipeg Feb. 28-March 1. Jack finished third in the 60 metres, second in the 200 metres, second in the 300 metres, and

second in high jump. This meet saw athletes from Ontario, Saskatch-ewan and Manitoba compete. Jack was one of 11 athletes from Thomp-son that competed in these games.

Jack was named to two provincial teams dur-ing the outdoor season. The first team competed in the Western Canadian tri-province meet in Sas-katoon July 18-20. Jack competed in the 100 metres, 200 metres, 300 metres, 4x100-metre re-lay and the medley relay. Jack finished second in the 100 metres with a time of 11.99 seconds; second in the 200 metres with a time of 24.22 seconds; fourth in the 300 metres with a time

of 37.02 seconds; second in the 4x100-metre relay and third in the med-ley relay. The highlight of this competition was Jack breaking the Mani-toba provincial record for the 300 metres for the first time.

Jack went straight from the tri-province meet in Saskatoon to the Peace Gardens Legion Athletics Camp and was selected to compete for Manitoba in the Legion national track meet in Langley, B.C. Jack was selected to compete in the 100 metres, 200 metres, 300 metres and 4x100-metre relay. Jack placed ninth in the 100 metres with a time of 11.96 seconds; ninth in the 200 metres with a time of 23.69

seconds; seventh in the 300 metres with a time of 36.91 seconds. Jack again set a new prov-incial record in the 300 metres, beating his own record.

Jack finished the out-door season ranked third in the province in the 100 metres; first in the province in the 200 metres; first in the prov-ince in the 300 metres and third in the province for high jump. There is one more scheduled in-door meet to conclude the 2014 track season. This is the Last Chance Meet in Winnipeg Nov. 28-29. Jack hopes to add the indoor 300-metre re-cord to his accomplish-ments in this track sea-son.

Saunders

second at

Manitoba Open

racquetball

tournamentBY IAN [email protected]

Former Thompsonite Jennifer Saunders was the runner up in the men’s 35+/A division at the 2014 Manitoba Open racquetball tourna-ment in Winnipeg Nov. 6-9, losing 6-15, 6-15 to champion Darryl Dro-homerski in the final.

Saunders beat Aaron Strub 15-7, 15-9 in her first match, then knocked off Kirby Shwaykosky 15-8, 15-8 in the semi-finals.

R.D. Parker Collegiate’s junior boys’ and girls’ vol-leyball teams saw their seasons come to an end Nov. 8 in The Pas, where they fi nished as runners-up and lost in the semi-fi nals, respectively, in the Zone 11 junior volleyball championships.

The boys’ team lost in a three-set fi nal to the Hap-not Collegiate Institute Kopper Kings from Flin Flon, who came back after losing the fi rst set 25-19 to beat the Trojans 25-11 in

Stars stay close but can’t notch a win


The Norman North-stars lost a pair of close games Nov. 15-16 after opening their three-game Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League road trip with a lopsided loss to the Winnipeg Thrashers on Friday night.

Team-leading scorer Bryce Horning and Ethan Stuckless scored in the third period against the Pembina Valley Hawks on Sunday to put their team up 4-3 but the Hawks struck back with three goals of their own from Kelton Sutherland, Mark Klassen and Derek Wood in the last 12 min-utes to skate away with a 6-4 win.

The Northstars’ third-period goals capped off a comeback from 3-0 down that started in the second period with a goal from Anthony Keeper Jr. and continued when Daylon Campbell reduced the Pembina Valley lead to one with less than fi ve minutes to play before the second intermission.

The Hawks got goals from William Lovell and Tyson McConnell in the fi rst period and extended the lead to three goals early in the middle frame when McConnell notched his second.

Mark Steeves made 25 saves in the game while Aaron Brunn turned away 21 Northstars shots

in net for the Hawks. The Northstars erased

three one-goal leads Nov. 15 against the Cen-tral Plains Capitals but couldn’t do it a fourth time and fell 4-3.

Byron Spence tied the game 3-3 about midway through the fi nal per-iod after Kyle Byczkow-ski gave the Capitals a lead 3:33 into the third. Spence had assisted on Michael Markus’s second period goal that tied it 2-2 a couple minutes after Josh Blondeau put the Capitals ahead. Horn-ing had the fi rst goal of the game for the North-stars, scoring in the late

stages of the fi rst per-iod to tie the game at one after Tanner Blight staked Central Plains to an early lead.

Connor Faulkner made 27 saves in the game while Connor Nichol stopped 25 shots by the Northstars.

The road trip opened with an 8-1 loss to the Thrashers Nov. 14. Markus had the only goal for the Northstars, who were outshot 44-16. Faulkner made 36 saves in the game.

The Northstars will host the Thrashers at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena this Saturday and Sunday.

Accessing cancer servi-ces in the Northern Health Region got a little easier with the establishment of cancer navigation servi-ces. Our regional cancer navigation services team includes a position called a nurse navigator – regis-tered nurse Shane Mac-Donald – and an oncology social worker, Shelly Watt. They will soon be joined by a community engage-ment liaison. The region is also working to estab-lish family physician in oncology (FPO) positions to guide and support these navigation services.

“Efforts to make this diffi cult journey for pa-tients and families experi-encing a cancer diagnosis smoother and barrier-free are greatly enhanced with the nursing and so-cial worker supports the hubs provide,” said Helga Bryant, Northern Health Region chief executive offi cer. “We will welcome these new resources and the support they will pro-vide once they are estab-

lished in Thompson, The Pas/Flin Flon and outlying communities throughout the region.”

MacDonald and the rest of the team will work with cancer patients and their families to increase timely access to services; provide information, education and offer guidance in re-gards to treatment deci-sions and symptom man-agement. They will link patients and families to appropriate resources of-fered through CancerCare Manitoba and within local communities.

Watt will focus on understanding and treat-ing the social, psycho-logical, emotional, spirit-ual, quality-of-life and functional aspects of can-cer within a whole-person approach to cancer care that addresses a range of needs to improve quality-of-life for people affected by cancer.

FPOs are family phys-

icians with special interest or focused practice in onc-ology and have received special training in the provincial cancer system. Most FPOs work part-time in the cancer system and part-time in general family practice or in pal-liative care. FPOs, when in place, will be a resource to cancer navigation servi-ces and other health care providers who are actively participating early on in the patient journey by identifying clinically sus-picious cases.

While Watt and Mac-Donald are Thompson-based, this team provides support to residents across the Northern Health Re-gion. Healthcare provid-ers are invited to refer patients along the cancer journey from clinical sus-picion of cancer to surviv-orship or bereavement. As well as provider referrals, individuals can access these services directly.

As regional positions, the navigation services team will meet with patients in person, by telephone and via MBTelehealth.

The enhancement of cancer navigation services in our communities is part of the IN SIXTY – Mani-toba’s Cancer Patient Jour-ney Initiative, a part of the province’s cancer strategy. The initiative is a system-wide transformation strat-egy to shorten the cancer journey from clinical sus-picion to fi rst treatment to 60 days or less. This initiative is a partnership which includes the North-ern Health Region, Mani-toba Health, CancerCare Manitoba, Diagnostic Ser-vices of Manitoba, Family Physicians and other healthcare providers, and patients. For more infor-mation, contact Shane MacDonald by email at [email protected] or by phone at (204) 778-1743.

Guru Nanak Sahib finally settled down at Kartarpur city (now in Pakistan) which was founded by him in 1522 and spent the rest of his life there (1522-1539). There was daily Kirtan and the institution of Langar (free kitchen) was introduced. Know-ing that the end was drawing near, Guru Nanak Sahib, after test-ing his two sons and some followers, installed Bhai Lehna ji (Guru An-gad Sahib) as the Second Nanak in 1539, and after a few days he left for the heavenly abode The

Sachkhand on Sept. 22, 1539.

With this ended the worldly journey of this messenger of God and great Master (Guru) of mankind. He rejected the path of renuncia-tion (Tyaga or Yoga), the authority of the Vedas and the Hindu caste sys-tem. Guru Nanak Sahib emphasized the lead-ing of householder’s life (Grista) but unattached to gross materialism. The service to man-kind (sewa), hard work (kirt), prayer (Kirtan,

Satsang) and faith in ‘One’ omnipotent God are the basic concepts of Sikhism established by Guru Nanak Sahib. He preached new idea of God as supreme, uni-versal, all-powerful and truthful. God is formless (Nirankar), the sole, the Creator, the self-existent, the incomprehensible and the everlasting and the creator of all things (Karta Purakh). God is infinite, true, all-giver, Nirvair, and omnipotent. He is Satnam, the eternal and absolute truth.

As a social reformer Guru Nanak Sahib up-held the cause of women, downtrodden and the poor. He attacked the citadel of caste system of Hindus and theocracy of Muslim rulers. He was a born poet. He wrote 974 hymns comprising Japji Sahib, Asa-Di-Var, Bara-Mah, Sidh-Gosht, Onkar (Dakhani) and these were included in Guru Granth Sahib by Guru Arjan Sahib (The fifth Nanak). He was also a perfect musician. He with the company of Bhai Mardana composed such tunes in various Indian classical Ragas (musical compositions)

that charmed and tamed wild creatures like Ba-bar, subdued kings, bigots and tyrants, con-verted thugs and rob-bers to saints. He was a reformer as well as a revolutionary. God had endowed him with a contemplative mind and pious disposition. Guru Arjan Sahib called him “the image of God, nay, God Himself”.974 hymns comprising Japji Sahib, Asa-Di-Var, Bara-Mah, Sidh-Gosht, Onkar (Dakhani) and these were included in Guru Granth Sahib by Guru Arjan Sahib (The fifth Nanak).
