With December just days away, the Salvation Army’s Christmas Red Ket-tle fundraising campaign has started. Roy Bladen, director of the Thompson Salvation Army, says the money raised in Thompson goes directly to the food bank. Bladen says they’ve noticed an increase in the number of people using the service. “We’ve seen a six to eight per cent increase in the last six months in the clients coming to us. We give out on average 40 to 50 hampers a month. Each hamper is valued at $50 to $75.”

Last year the goal for the campaign was $30,000, and Bladen says they ex-ceeded that goal and raised $50,000. This year the goal is right in the middle at $40,000. Bladen believes this can happen. “I think they will be very generous from what I’ve heard from

people that I’ve met. My wife and I are really look-ing forward to it.”

Along with the kettle campaign, the Thompson

Salvation Army is also looking for other Christ-mas goodies. “We’re also collecting toys and we will be giving them out to our

clients on Dec. 17, but we are in need of a few items we never seem to get. Right now we need stuffed toys, and we need games for

children eight and up, and the age group between 12 and 14, we have absolutely nothing for.”

Bladen says the Thomp-son Salvation Army thrift store is also in need of winter clothing to help the homeless. “We have lots of people looking for winter clothing that are homeless. If there is anyone out there with winter clothing, shoes, coats, hats, scarves, what-ever, we would just love to have it at the thrift store. We will put it at no charge in the hands of the people that really need it.” Christ-mas goodies and winter ap-parel can be dropped off at 205 Thompson Drive.

Volunteers are also needed for the Red Kettle campaign, and anyone who is interested in help-ing can call 204-307-0037. Kettles are located at Safe-way, Wal-Mart, the liquor store, Family Foods, and Shopper’s Drug Mart this year until Christmas Eve.


A $5,600 cheque – the proceeds from this year’s Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign - was presented to Helga Bryant, CEO of the Northern Regional Health Authority, on Nov. 18, by Jackie and Brian Rowland, the new Tim Hortons franchise operators in Thompson.

“This is just a wonderful gift,” said Bryant. “The fact the community gave this, the staff promoted it, the franchise operators promoted it, this gift will go such a long way doing the extra things. We’re not sure where it’s going to go, there are just so many needs. We will use it for something very special.”

The Smile Cookie campaign sees cus-tomers buy a cookie, and all money raised by cookie sales is then given back to the community. Jackie Rowland says it’s nice to see residents helping out Thompson.

“That shows this is a place where the community comes together. Knowing they put that much money into cookies, and we can give it back to an organization or local company shows that Thompson really cares about their own community.”

The new franchise operators say they hope to continue to help out on the local level, and for Tim Hortons to get their reputation back. “There are always other local organizations and people we can support in differ-ent ways,” said Brian Rowland. “The options are there. We want to help the community, and be a part of the community. We want people to come here, and this to be the place to sit and chat. We want to make Tim Hortons home again.”

An open house will be held on Dec. 6, to introduce the new franchise oper-ators to the community.

Thompson Playhouse performs The Red Velvet Cake WarBY MOLLY GIBSON [email protected]

The Thompson Play-house performed The Red Velvet Cake War Nov. 21-22, on the stage of the Let-kemann Theatre. Directed by Donna Wilson, and pro-duced by Wally Itson, the play follows the three Ver-deen cousins – Gaynelle, played by Coral Bennett,

Peaches, played by Delsie Jack, and Jimmie, played by Angela Wolfe – while they plan their family reunion.

During the planning Aunt LaMerle, played by Serena Puranen, tries to put a stop to the party, due to the crazy family members. Gaynelle is coping with the aftermath of a failed relationship. Gaynelle also

has to pass a physiological evaluation if she doesn’t want to be put into jail, due to “accidentally” crashing her car into her husband’s girlfriend’s trailer.

Peaches struggles throughout the play with whether or not she should sign the papers declar-ing her long lost husband dead, all while dealing with the urges of a grown woman. Jimmie falls in love with the town’s newest widower, but Jimmie has her hands full when she realizes her neighbor Bitsy, played by Debby Belyea, has her eyes on the same man.

Now if that wasn’t funny enough Uncle Aubrey, played by Ryan Barker, had the audience laugh-ing with his old man jokes, along with Newt, played by Anthony Wake, trying to fi nd his eyeball throughout the play.

Then there was Mama Doll played by Lindsey Liske, Sheriff Grover played by Kevin Hopton, Cee Cee played by Sandi Knight, cousin Purvis played by

Alex White and fi nally Elsa the psychologist played by Robyn Foley. Every char-acter had their own story, and a way of making them-selves Thompsonites.

Scenes include Crazy Pete’s, and MacLean park as well as shoutouts to Mary Fenske and Judge

Alain Huberdeau.The play ended with

everyone fi nding out who really did make the best red velvet cake, and a standing ovation by the audience.

More than 300 people attended the play over the weekend, and Wilson says proceeds will be stay-

ing in Thompson. “After paying our expenses like costumes, rentals and makeup, 50 per cent of the net proceeds will be going to the high school drama program. Since we’re non-profi t, we like to help out the community anyway we can.”

OBITUARY

PETER BRAUNPeter was born Sunday, January 6, 1935 in Steinbach, Manitoba. He started his working career in Wabowden in May of 1957 with the Federal Agricultural Research Branch investigating the soil conditions and plant growth in northern Manitoba. This project was discontinued in 1965 which resulted in operating the Shell Canada Agency for eight years. In 1974 a career change resulted in his employment as administrator for the Wabowden Community Council. Peter retired after 26 years, in 2001.Through all these years he obtained great satisfaction with being involved in activities relating to the improvement of the community, and attempting to achieve enhanced quality of life for local residents.His “after work” activities included being secretary of the Unincorporated Urban District of Wabowden, secretary of the Wabowden Metis Federation, member of the Wabowden school committee, member of the Wabowden Farmer’s Association, member of the Wabowden Historical Committee, Representative of the Burntwood Regional Health Authority, as well as two terms as a councillor and eight months as Mayor for the Wabowden community council. After work activities also included shing, camping, and vacationing with his wife Emma Jane and their children.His agricultural background resulted in a love of gardening. He developed a farming operation and proved that the production of potatoes, vegetables, small fruit, as well as pedigreed forage seed can be commercially viable in this area of northern Manitoba.Peter, known locally as “the Walker”, was a great man of wisdom and forgiveness. He often reverted back to lessons of compromise and unconditional love. “It is not what’s on the outside that matters but what is in the inside that counts.” This is what he would teach us. Peter’s philosophy was one of simple taste, it always makes it a little easier when you can make someone smile, referring to his comical and goofy ways he just wanted to lighten the mood and bring out the positive in those around him, whenever the opportunity arose. A great man to have known, lived and learned by. He truly touched the hearts of all who watched him walk on by.Peter dedicated his life to his family by providing for them as this was his number one priority. Especially important to him was pleasing his wife Emma Jane. Dad missed her dearly and waited patiently for the day that they would meet again. Together, they are now in spirit for eternity.It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Peter Braun, Saturday November 15, 2014, at St. Anthony’s Hospital, The Pas, Manitoba, at the age of 79.Left to cherish his wonderful memories are his children Anne (Larry), Kelly (Patricia), Sally (Leonard), Marie (Darwin), Kenneth (Holly), Albert (April), Lorraine (Dennis), Helen (Dale), Debbie (Vern), Carl (Gail); 42 grandchildren; 51 great grandchildren; 2 great, great grandchildren; sisters Kay (Arndt) Lehn, Anne Rempel, Helen (Al) Koop; sisters-in-law Virginia (Wally) Nachbaur, Mary Jane Monias, Emma Monias (Eric Nilsson); and numerous nieces and nephews, friends and relatives.Peter was predeceased by his wife Emma Jane Braun (Nee Monias); parents Jacob and Katharina Braun; father-in-law Joseph Monias; mother-in-law Bella Monias; brothers-in-law Jack Rempel, Edward Clarence Monias, Henry Wilfred Monias; sister-in-law Mary Chubb; daughter-in-law Nora Braun.Prayers and visitation was held Wednesday, 10:00 am – Noon, at the Chapel of Hemauer Funeral Home, The Pas, followed by a wake service which was held at the Ke-Na-Now Centre, Wabowden, Manitoba.The funeral service was held Thursday, November 20, 2014, 1:00 pm, at the Ke-Na-Now Centre, Wabowden, Manitoba, with Mr. Matthew Garrick presiding.Interment followed at the Wabowden Cemetery, Wabowden, Manitoba.Pallbearers were Paul McIvor, Jason Braun, Ryan Braun, Kenny Braun Jr, Daniel McLeod, Kory Braun, Kris Benson, Kevin Braun, Jacky Colombe, Tie Braun, Tyler Braun. Honorary pallbearers were Eric Nilsson, Wally Nachbaur, Carl Dram, Charlie McLeod, Cathy McLeod, Jack McIvor, Gary McIvor, Bert Schroeder, Eva Schroeder, Vicky Fleming, Dennis Dwyer, Walter Becker, Cindy Jonasson, Tom Hancock, Sandra Hancock, Chippy Ducharme, and special friends Bob and Rita Haywood. In lieu of owers, if friends so desire donations to Northern Health Foundation Inc., 84 Church Street, Flin Flon, Manitoba, R8A 1L8, would be appreciated by Peter’s family. Hemauer Funeral Home and Cremation Services, The Pas, were in care of arrangements. For online condolences visit www.hemauerfuneralhome.com.


Uncle Aubrey, played by Ryan Barker, and Aunt LaMerle, played by Serena Puranen, had

the audience’s attention during act one of The Red Velvet Cake War.


A career expo held at the Thompson Regional Community Centre on Nov. 15, focused on the parents.

The expo is held through Manitoba Career Prospects, which used to be Manitoba Mentors. Ron Castel, aboriginal liaison for the Manitoba Con-struction Sector Council, who helped set up the event, says the idea be-hind the event is to give parents information for their children’s futures. “There are a lot of career fairs around Manitoba, and it’s all geared towards youth and students. The kids come home with all this information, and the parents don’t always get the full story and all the information. We focus on parents during our expo so parents can talk to career professionals directly.”

This was the fi rst time the expo travelled north, and Castel was the one to push the need for a parent fair in Thompson. “The focus was always Winni-peg, so I made it a point to address the northern issue. We have parents in the north that need this information, so it was vital

to bring it to Thompson for our fi rst event.”

Castel says since it was the fi rst year, promotion wasn’t what he hoped it would be, but it was worth it. “Like everything else, people weren’t aware of it. Promotion next year can be better, but all in all, it’s brand new in Thompson, so it wasn’t as successful as I thought it would be, but the thought and inter-est is there.”

One young family, at Castel’s table for the Mani-toba Construction Sector Council tried out a crane simulator. Castel says that made the day successful. “We had a few parents come though with their kids. One young mother with her son tried out the simulator. They had the hands-on experience, and learned things they didn’t know about before. They thought it was so cool.”

This year Vale, Manitoba Hydro, and the Northern Regional Health Author-ity were just some of the exhibitors. Carol Lussier, representing Manitoba Hydro at the expo, says they were happy to be a part of the event. “Mani-toba Hydro is getting out there at any chance that we can to be a part of this

community, and we want to promote our trades programs. We have great trades programs.”

Lussier agrees with Cas-tel, saying the advertis-ing could have been better, but said if they reached one child it was still a suc-cess.

The parent career expo will happen again next year in Thompson, and Castel hopes more exhib-itors can attend. “We’re looking at the non-profi ts to come next year, because non-profits nowadays have programs that they like to promote. I would also like to get the hos-pitality industry, because Thompson is a very transi-ent city. More people need to realize the career boom in that industry, and the employment opportun-ities.”

Fundamental values

To the Editor:

We assume on a daily basis that we can solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. Our daily oc-currences in life catch our eye, but only a few assur-ances catch our hearts. We forget about the little things in life. Do we? For one day, we’ll look back and real-

ize they were big things. We notice that not every-one will appreciate the little “fundamental values” we do for them. But, fi guring out who’s worth our kind-ness, respect and trust can be instrumental. Or who just enjoys taking advan-tage of us.

Letter to the Editor

Mayor says Thompson a good place to invest inBY MOLLY GIBSON [email protected]

Mayor Dennis Fenske was the guest speaker at the Thompson Chamber of Commerce on Nov. 19, talking about the next four years, with construc-tion being one of the big-ticket items moving for-ward.

Fenske talked about the $36-million wastewater treatment plant, saying Thompson’s share for the project will be approxi-mately $12 million. “That was part of the water util-ity bringing that on, and the provincial licensing that provoked us into do-ing the wastewater treat-ment program. We’re in the fi nal stages of design for that construction, and it’s slated to begin in 2015, and operational by mid-2017.”

The previous council had set a borrowing limit in regards to debentures, to make room for the debt they will be enduring over the next couple of years, to pay for their share of the project.

Fenske says the city is

also moving forward with the water treatment plant. “We are currently in ne-gotiations with Vale. The agreement that was es-tablished with the prov-ince, the LGD and the town of Thompson, basic-ally had wording within it that allowed Inco at the time, Vale now, to con-struct infrastructure for the community at large. Those assets over the years have been turned over to the City of Thomp-son. The last asset that Vale owns and operates

that benefi ts us directly is the water treatment plant.”

Ownership of this plant will complete the circle, says Fenske. “Sometime in this term we will have an agreement where we will receive ownership of the water treatment plant. That closes the circle of water in the community, in the sense of we will produce it, we will deliver it, and we will dispose it. Whereas before we were disposing it, we were de-livering it, but we weren’t

producing it.”Also coming in the near

future is the community safety offi cer program, something Fenske says the community will bene-fi t greatly from. “We are looking forward to ex-panding our current role in regards to public safety and bylaw enforcement. In 2015 they will become community safety offi cers. They will have expanded roles, expanded respon-sibilities, expanded duties and capabilities. We have the full support from the government of Manitoba, we have partnered with the RCMP and others to develop the program.”

With six out of nine councillors – including the mayor - being new, Fens-ke says there is a learn-ing curve happening in Thompson. “We’re send-ing eight of nine council-lors to the AMM confer-ence in Winnipeg. It’s a three-day opportunity to learn from the Associa-tion of Manitoba Munici-palities. It’s an opportun-ity to meet with other new

councillors in the province and it’s a chance to meet with ministers. It’s a great learning tool to have in your fi rst month of offi ce.”

Fenske says Thompson is getting good feedback from around the province. “We don’t want to lose this momentum, we’re getting good messages around the province that our community is a good community to invest in.”

With investing comes economic development. “We’ve been working with Vale with acquire more land, which will provide us the opportun-ity to business or develop because right now there isn’t a lot of developable land. I think the TEDWG [Thompson Economic Diversifi cation Working Group] program that was developed when the an-nouncement happened in 2010 set some of the groundwork for the direc-tion of economic develop-ment.”

Fenske says the casino could help with that de-velopment. “There is a ca-

sino in this community or region coming. It’s in part-nership with Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and the province of Manitoba. We can be part of that, and gain from the eco-nomic spinoffs from that, or we can sit on the side-lines and watch it happen somewhere else outside of the community.”

Other points Fenske touched on during the meeting were the need for more housing, and how the city can help with that. “From the city’s per-spective, we’re not go-ing to be owning houses. What we can do is have land to make available. We currently have a policy in place in regards to providing some lots for housing in our com-munity. We’ve partnered with some agencies in regard to providing tran-sitional housing.” Fenske says there is also a large need for more housing for the aging population in Thompson, something he hopes the city can be involved with.

Thompson Safeway raised $7,000 for the Can-adian Breast Cancer Foun-dation through customer donations in the matter of two weeks. Norm St. Amant, manager of the store, says it’s because of the community, and the type of people living in Thompson. “They always

give, for every charity we’ve had. It’s a giving community, and we don’t have to do more than just ask, it’s very nice.”

St. Amant says the Thompson store lead the fundraising efforts in the district during the dona-tion period, and placed fi rst in total donations. Across western Canada, as a chain, Safeway has

raised over $700,000 for the Canadian Breast Can-cer Foundation.

• It was beloved American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson who made the following sage observation: Some-times a scream is better than a thesis.

• As the holidays and the inevitable family gatherings approach, you might want to prepare yourself to engage in logomachy — a battle fought with words.

• In the African nation of Swaziland, it is illegal for a witch to fly a broom-stick at an altitude above 150 meters.

• If you’re like 91 percent of Ameri-cans, you sometimes eat breakfast for dinner.

• You may have been unaware of it for the past 11 months, but 2014 has been the International Year of Family Farming, so declared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the Unit-ed Nations.

• Place-names sometimes enter the English language through roundabout means. Take Arkansas, for instance: That state’s name comes from the word akansa, which is a French pro-nunciation of an Algonquin name for the Native American Quapaw people. The original word means either “peo-ple of the south wind” or “downriver people.”

• You might be surprised to learn that the fax machine was invented in the 19th century. In 1843, a man named Alexander Bain patented Bain’s Tele-graph, which was able to transmit an exact copy of lines, letters and shapes to chemically treated paper on the oth-er end of the line.

• In 2013, for the first time, the Unit-ed States offered a larger market for wine than France.

***Thought for the Day: All one’s life

as a young woman one is on show, a focus of attention, people notice you. You set yourself up to be noticed and admired. And then, not expecting it, you become middle-aged and anon-ymous. No one notices you. You achieve a wonderful freedom. It’s a positive thing. You can move about unnoticed and invisible. — Doris Lessing

• If you’re traveling with pets, you know you’ll need to bring something for them to drink out of. If you have ice in a container, they can lick the ice to stay hydrated, but it doesn’t slosh around or spill easily.

• For moister and softer cookies, use honey as a substitute for a third of the sugar in your cookie recipe.

• “At a party, someone spilled a cup of red wine on one of my throw pil-lows. I love the pillow, since it is just the right size and really soft, but I could not get the stain out. So I cov-ered it with a new fabric. I ended up doing all the assorted pillows in the same fabric, and it made a big change in the room. I wish I had done it soon-er.” — I.F. in Pennsylvania

• “Keep venetian blinds from stick-ing to one another and discourage dust by rubbing them down individually with a sheet of fabric softener. This effect will last at least a month, in my experience.” — S.F. in Alabama

• “Have a headache? Try drinking a couple of glasses of a sports drink. This works for my friends and I. May-be we just need to be drinking more water, but the sports drinks get us back on track more quickly than medicine most times.” — E.L. in Colorado

• Bringing some plants indoors? Use styrofoam packing peanuts in the bot-tom of pots when planting. They aren’t as heavy as rocks, but they do just as good a job. It makes the pots easier to move around should you need to.

Taekwondo athletes compete in Yorkton

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Mitch Nicolas

Six athletes from Thompson competed in a taekwondo tournament in Yorkton, Saskatch-

ewan on Nov. 15.

BY MITCH NICOLASSPECIAL TO THE

THOMPSON CITIZEN

On Nov. 15, a LABAN taekwondo team went to Yorkton, Saskatchewan to compete in the Kee’s taek-wondo tournament.

Six competitors from Thompson participated in both patterns and sparring. Ethan Bignell and Erjonit Shabani took fi rst place for their patterns. Erjonit also placed fi rst in sparring, tak-ing home double gold and was rewarded for his excel-

lent performance with a full level promotion by LABAN taekwondo instructor Chris Byrne. There were four people in his category.

Ethan Bignell, who fought hard and competed with green belt and blue belt opponents, took second place in sparring. He was disappointed at fi rst but he was happy for great experi-ence. Two of Ethan’s broth-ers – Aidan Bignell and Darnell Osborne – placed second and third in pat-

terns and got third place in sparring. One of the LABAN teen athletes, Tyrell Aubut, brought home two silver medals in patterns and sparring. Derek May-ham, an adult competitor who competed with higher-ranked fi ghters, placed third in sparring.

Taekwondo Instructor Chris Byrne and coach Mitch Nicolas would like to congratulate their LABAN Taekwondo team for their hard work.

Wild

lose in

Norway

HouseBY IAN [email protected]

The Norman Wild’s re-turn to Northern Manitoba didn’t earn them a win as the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League team dropped a pair of games to the Central Plains Capitals in Norway House Nov. 22-23.

Makaela Fisher had a pair of goals for the Capitals in the fi rst game of the ser-ies, with Chelsea Hallson and Emily Upgang adding singles and Sheridan Os-wald chipping in a couple of assists while goaltender Kathleen Kosior made 12 saves in a 4-1 Capitals win in which they scored three times in the middle frame.

Oswald was the sniper for the Capitals in a 6-2 win Nov. 23, notching three goals, while Upgang added a pair and Fisher pitched in with one. Lauren Taraschuk got the win in net for the Capitals in this game, stop-ping 20 shots.

Goal scorers and other statistics for the Wild were not available on the MFMHL website at press time.

Northstars keep Thrashers closeBY IAN [email protected]

They didn’t earn a win but the Norman North-stars proved they could play with the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League-leading Winni-peg Thrashers at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena Nov. 22-23, keeping within two goals until the late stages of the fi rst game and scoring four of the last fi ve goals in a comeback attempt on Sunday.

The Northstars were behind 5-0 when Day-

lon Campbell scored with about seven minutes left in the second period to get his team on the board Nov. 23. The Northstars offence really came to life in the third, with Camp-bell’s second and a power play marker by North-stars’ leading scorer Bryce Horning reducing Win-nipeg’s lead to two before Ryan Sokoloski gave them some breathing room about midway through the fi nal frame. Even then, the Northstars kept up the attack and were rewarded

when Evan Lutz capital-ized on a power play in the last minute to make the fi nal score 6-4 for the Thrashers.

Connor Faulkner made 27 saves in the game while Jeremy Link made an identical number in Winnipeg’s net.

The Northstars’ offence was less prolifi c Nov. 22 but goaltender Mark Steeves kept the game tight, giving up just one goal in each of the fi rst two periods as his team was cumulatively outshot

40-13. Taylor Ritchie drew the Stars within one early in the third but Nolan Richards quickly replied for the Thrashers to make the fi nal 4-1.

Steeves fi nished the game with 48 saves as he was busier than Thrash-ers netminder Dylan Mys-kiw, who turned aside 19 Northstars shots.

The Northstars are back in action on home ice this weekend when they host the Central Plains Capitals on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.
