As Thompson received it’s fi rst blanket of snow and the warm weather drew to a close, football fever only climbed higher as the Grey Cup arrived in Thompson Oct. 21 as part of its North-ern Manitoba Tour.

“It was defi nitely our busiest day of the tour so far,” said Doug Brown, Winnipeg Blue Bombers alumnus and ambassador for Kidsport Winnipeg, who along with fellow alumnus Brett MacNeil accompanied the cup through Thompson, taking photos with fans as the CFL championship trophy toured through all seven schools before arriv-ing at the Boys & Girls Club of Thompson, where it was accompanied by a generous donation of equipment and funding by the Canadian Tire Jumpstart, a charity committed to bringing sport to underprivileged youth. The donation will help sup-port a learn to play foot-ball program at the Boys & Girls Club and includes 40 t-shirts, fl ags and footballs, as well as the funding re-quired to cover coaching costs for the seven- to eight-week program.

Glenn McLean, regional manager of Jumpstart, was on site to deliver the dona-tion. “We’re proud to be involved with this year’s

Grey Cup Festival. It’s a great way to spread aware-ness about Jumpstart and the importance of providing kids with the chance to try a new sport or stay involved in something they love.”

Regina DaSilva-Gib-bons, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of

Thompson, accepted the do-nation and described how the program and the Grey Cup tour help support the Boys & Girls Club’s prin-ciples of active play. “We’ve become a sedentary soci-ety,” she said, stressing the importance of getting kids to get outside and interact

with each other and their environment.

Jumpstart made dona-tions at every major stop of the Grey Cups northern tour, which also included The Pas, Flin Flon, Snow Lake and Churchill.

DaSilva-Gibbons thanked the Thompson Chamber

of Commerce, Thompson Unlimited, and the City of Thompson for making the Grey Cup viewing possible. “Events like these are a wonderful opportunity for community organizations to come together, network, and fi nd new ways to help their communities.”

Door-to-door mail delivery in Thompson

off the chopping block for nowBY IAN [email protected]

Canada Post announced Oct. 26 that conver-sions of door-to-door mail delivery to community mailboxes planned for November and December of this year and 2016 were being put on hold.

“We will work collaboratively with the govern-ment of Canada to determine the best path for-ward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system,” said an announcement

on Canada Post’s website. “This involves roughly 460,000 addresses across the country which are currently in the process to be converted to com-munity mailboxes.”

Thompson was one of the communities sched-uled for conversion in 2016 and Canada Post said customers affected by this latest decision would receive letters advising them of the status of their mail delivery within the next few weeks. Places where the conversion has been completed or was

scheduled for conversion in October will receive their mail and parcels in community mailboxes.

Canada Post announced in July that door-to-door mail delivery would be changed to com-munity mailboxes in Thompson in 2016 but the Liberals and NDP said during the federal election campaign that they would halt and/or reverse the end of door-to-door delivery across Canada.

The conversion would have affected about 3,400 addresses in Thompson.

MARTHA ALBERTHA ANTOINETTE SVENDSEN (Nee GEURTS)80, passed away peacefully on the afternoon of Friday, October 23, 2015 at Vista Park Lodge in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Martha was born near Plumas, Manitoba on July 29, 1935 and was the rst member of the Geurts family who was born in Canada. She grew up on a farm as the youngest of nine children. Despite having eight siblings, she was the youngest by eight years and as a result she found company in her dog “Tippy” and other animals on the farm. She eventually moved with her elderly parents to the RM of St. Andrews and lived with them for some time helping them with day-to-day tasks. As a young woman, she was quite close to her nieces and nephews and took pride in being the aunt who always spoiled them with small gifts and trips to the movies. She worked in Winnipeg at the Eaton’s Center mail order department and took night classes to upgrade her education so she could pursue a career as a licensed practical nurse. She was a natural born care-giver and the nursing profession was a perfect t for her. Along the way, she met her husband-to-be when he was a patient at the Health Sciences Center and the two of them fell in love. They married shortly thereafter and she relocated to Thompson, MB to join her husband where she raised her family and began her new career as a stay-at-home mother and homemaker. She remained in Thompson for 37 years and retired to Winnipeg with her husband in 2002 where she could be closer to family and friends alike.Martha was a devoted servant to God, her Church and her family and it showed in the way that she lived her life. She followed the example set by Jesus and put the needs of others before her own at all times. She showed nothing but love for everyone around her and was loved by all in return.Martha was predeceased by her husband Mogens (Morgan); parents Henri and Albertha; sisters Adelaide and Antoinette and brothers Albert, Marcel, Martin, and Henry. She leaves behind her sons Erik (Aurora) and Leif (Keri); grandchildren Henry, So a, Jaya, Kelsey, Bo and Layne; sisters Marceline Lapointe and Mary Nault; sisters-in-law Mary Geurts, Kirsten Wattne (Ole), Gunver Dahl-Koefoed (Keld), Connie Balle-Svendsen and brother-in-law Leif Balle-Svendsen (Kis) along with numerous nieces and nephews. A special thank you should be extended to the staff of Vista Park Lodge in Winnipeg for the care provided to Martha throughout her stay at the home.A funeral service will be held on Thursday, October 29th at 2:00 PM at St. Margaret’s Catholic Church located at 105 Little Britain Road in the RM of St. Andrews.In lieu of owers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, 10-120 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3C 4G2.FUNERAL CENTRE204-949-2200neilbardalinc.com

The weather may have turned cold just in time for the Grey Cup’s northern tour, but for Winnipeg Blue Bombers alumni Brett MacNeil, who accompanied the trophy along with fellow former Bomber Doug Brown, the trip was defi ned by warmth.

“Any opportunity to come up north is a great one because the hospital-ity is second to none,” MacNeil told members of the Thompson Cham-ber of Commerce during their lunch meeting at the Burntwood Hotel Oct. 21, about halfway through a jam-packed schedule of seven school visits and a stop at the Boys & Girls Club of Thompson. “The reception has been just over the top and I just want to thank you very much for making us feel welcome and so at home.”

The message MacNeil and Brown were delivering to Thompson stu-dents was that, even for aspiring and successful professional athletes, edu-cation is of the highest importance.

“We talked to the children about fi nishing your diploma, getting your college and university degree so that you always have a background to fall back on,” MacNeill said. “We sent a message also about anti-bullying. We talked to the kids about, if you’re a victim of bullying to let somebody know of authority so they can put a stop to it, and encouraged the kids to play sports where your opponents are competing with you, they’re not victims.”

MacNeil also stressed that the Blue Bombers belong to the province as a whole.

“It’s called Winnipeg but we’re really Manitoba’s football team,” he said. “We have alumni who live and have grown and raised fam-ilies in Winnipeg who would have never visited Manitoba if they hadn’t played for the Bombers from all over North America. A lot of those guys, over 60 in fact, have made Winnipeg their home.”

Those 60 include MacNeil, who’s

from Ottawa and came to Winnipeg as the result of a trade, and Brown, originally from B.C., who landed in Winnipeg after being traded by the Calgary Stampeders.

MacNeil, who visits Thompson every few months as part of his job, says another recurring trip to the Hub of the North is a highlight for himself as well as for other current and former professional, university and junior football players.

“In previous years we’ve had the Thompson fl ag football camp for kids that were at risk and we’re going to keep that going,” said Mac-Neil. “We recruit kids to come out and we provide football instruction from Blue Bomber alumni, current Blue Bombers – we had Bryant Turner and Jason Vega last time up – as well as a large number of

Manitoba Bisons current and former players and Winnipeg Rifl e current and former players. We’re looking forward to coming back with that fl ag football event this May. That’s defi nitely a highlight that we circle on our schedules.”

Also emphasizing that this tour was not only about a one-time chance to see the Grey Cup was Glenn McLean, Canadian Tire Jump-start Charities regional manager for Central Canada, Nunavut and North-western Ontario. “The reason we’re on the tour is to leave a bit of a legacy behind after we move on with the tour and the Grey Cup moves to the next community,” he said. “We’ve been supporting different programs in different communities for underprivileged kids to be able to get active and engaged.”

Prior to arriving in Thompson, Jumpstart had provided support for a fl ag football program in The Pas, uniforms for three First Na-tions hockey teams in the Flin Flon area, and helmets and skates for 20 kids to participate in a skating program in Snow Lake. Later Oct. 21, Jumpstart provided shirts and footballs for a football program at the Boys & Girls Club of Thompson.

“Canadian Tire Jumpstart started about 10 years ago and we’re happy to announce earlier, about three weeks ago, we supported our one millionth child across the country,” said McLean, and that pace is in-creasing. “We’re on target this year to help 200,000 kids so we hope to keep that going.”

McLean said Canadian Tire Jump-start has an active chapter in Thomp-son that works with the Boys & Girls Club, the city recreation department, MacDonald Youth Services and others in the north.

“Feel free if any of you are work-ing with those kids or know organ-izations that work with those kids that need some support please tie them into one of the people that I mentioned or they can connect with me directly,” said McLean.

Thompson Humane Society board president Oswald Sawh and fellow board member Leanne Brown appeared before council Oct. 19 to update them on the status of the society’s new building in-itiative and a change in the organization’s name.

“From day one the hu-mane society has taken in animals not just from Thompson but outside of Thompson,” said Sawh. “I would say, on average, up to 20 per cent of the animals that come through our building have come from other places. As the newly branded Thompson Regional Humane Society we are simply acknowledg-ing in our name what our operations have been for many years, a regional operation.”

The newly christened THRS is also in the begin-ning stages of plans for a new building on the south-ern portion of Cree Road, having already signed an option to purchase the land.

“Our goal is to raise the funds to purchase the land in 2016 then to raise the necessary funds to allow for construction in 2018 with a grand open-ing hopefully in the fall of 2018,” said Sawh. The new building won’t neces-sarily increase the number of animals the society can care for at any given time but it will improve condi-tions both for the animals and the volunteers and staff who work with them. “Even though our current building has served us well there are some issues that we have to address. We’re looking not as much to in-crease our capacity but to better address the needs of the animals under our care. This includes a bet-ter ventilation system, it includes separate heater systems, dedicated dog runs, isolation rooms, walking rooms, exercise areas, more cat rooms and an examination room.”

The humane society has also launched a new web-site at www.thompson-humanesociety.com and purchased and installed a new electronic message board at the City Centre Mall to let residents from Thompson and elsewhere know what the organiza-tion is up to.

“For those who have been in the mall and won-dering what that six foot high sign is by the en-trance to Walmart, that’s our e-board,” Sawh ex-plained. “That e-board will be used to broadcast a lot of things we’re doing as an operation but also to talk about or to showcase our new building initiative.”

The humane society has been in its current building on Nelson Road since 2006 and Sawh says the hope is that they can provide bet-

ter service once they have a new facility.

“Our building has served us well,” Sawh said. “But the THS is now at the stage where we feel that we can start on or next step of our evolution as an operation and that’s to construct a new building that would not only serve the City of Thompson but the region.”

The society was found-ed in 2003 and Sawh says without the support of many people and or-ganizations, it would not have been established and survived despite the fact that Thompson was badly in need of such a service when the THS was formed.

“The reality is that we didn’t have an animal shel-ter in Thompson up until then,” Sawh said. “Long story short, we formed because we felt that there was a better approach to the welfare of animals in Thompson.”

That approach included teaming up with the city to share space with its animal control program.

“I won’t say that we were the only ones in the country but we were one of the few in which there was actually a shared facil-ity operating between an animal control program

and a humane society. Really it was in the best interest of both the city and the humane society at that time. This resulted in the lost, abandoned, the relinquished and abused animals being under one roof and we though that was an extremely good thing that we had all the animals under one roof where regardless of if you were looking at adopting an animal or trying to fi nd an animal or just wanted to volunteer, you came to one place and that has worked very well over the 12 years that we’ve been in operations.”

Other important partners have included the people and businesses of Thomp-son, Dr. Ken Bingham and the Thompson Veterinary Clinic and the late Arnold Morberg and Calm Air. Morberg and the humane society came to an agree-ment early on that the airline would fl y animals from the humane society for free if they were being transferred to other shel-ters or animal rescue pro-grams, a practice that has continued since the Calm Air founder’s death and the sale of the company.

“That has resulted in hundreds of animals over

the years being saved,” Sawh said. “There’s no doubt that we would not have been able to fi nance fl ying all those animals the way he have.”

There have been great changes over the years since the humane society was founded and those changes refl ect well on the city, Sawh says.

“If you look at the old stats, back in early 2000s we were putting down on average over 100 ani-mals, 110 animals a year due to the fact that there was no place for them to go,” said Sawh. “The stats these days show that the amount of animals we have to put down in is in the single digits. I think last year we had to put down nine and those nine usually were due to either temperament issues or was a request on behalf of the owner due to the animal being overly aggressive. We haven’t had to put ani-mals down due to space issues anymore.”

Sawh said the TRHS embraces a famous quote attributed to Ghandi as its slogan: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

In my own words:

inequalities of life

To the Editor:

Under the NDP, Manitobans are paying more and get-ting less. They are paying more in personal income tax, which is the highest in Canada west of Quebec, and in hydro rates that are projected to at least double over the next 20 years. Manitobans are paying more, as well, because of NDP untendered contracting that does not provide value for hard-earned tax dollars.

The mining sector in Manitoba faces these same chal-lenges, and is declining under the Selinger NDP.

Investment goes where it’s wanted. Mining is strug-gling because of NDP policy that discourages invest-ment and threatens competitiveness.

According to economist Jack Mintz, “Manitoba min-ing is the most heavily taxed of all provinces…Mani-toba’s mining tax regime is among the least effi cient in Canada.”

We are one of only three provinces that collect sales tax on mining implements and services. The other prov-inces that do so, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, offer lower tax rates and a number of exemptions. From 2007 to 2013, sales tax accounted for more than $134 million in Manitoba. Those are costs that Ontario com-panies do not incur.

Consistency and clarity for parks and protected spaces, as well as a codifi ed process to deal with disputed land claims are other issues desperately in need of attention being ignored by the NDP.

The Progressive Conservative vision seeks to create a fl ourishing mineral resource sector by addressing these issues, while providing much-needed support for the Manitoba Geological Survey and the promotion of Manitoba as a world leader in mining and exploration investment.

Manitoba’s mining community is tired of the same old NDP broken promises and wants a change for the better. With your help, I am confi dent that on April 19, 2016, that change will come.

Cliff CullenMineral Resources Critic

Progressive Conservative MLA for Spruce Woods

To the Editor:

“Inequalities of Life.” Yes, there are many! Some people may have more friends, more money, more pa-tience and more understanding of life. One thing for sure is that we only have today. During our lives we spend much valuable time in judging others, worry-ing about others or having buckets fi lled with gossip. How we spend our time is what defi nes how true we are. When and where we put our time and energy in the “inequalities of life” is our choice. We are all given the same amount of time to live the life we want ourselves to live through our own defi nition of our Higher Power.

Eating ... the biggest challenge on the road to fi tness

BY CHRIS & MITCH BRYNE

Getting to fitness is not only about going to the gym, or joining classes, or increasing your activity. In most research done on fit-ness, the researchers and scientists all agree that eating well, eating the right amount, and eating on time will get anyone to their fitness goal faster and safer.

Some of the biggest mistakes people do is stop eating or reduce their daily caloric in-take far beyond safe; go on dangerous cleanses and fad diets; or spend on costly meal replace-ments with questionable ingredients. Results of these ways of eat-ing are a loss of confi-dence, physical weak-ness, increased fatigue, and sometimes creates digestive and urinary system issues. Remem-ber, it took a long time to gain the unwanted weight, it will take time to safely bring that

stronger, healthier you back. Eating the right things at the right time will get you there more efficiently and safely as it will give you all the energy you need to com-plete a daily exercise regimen and continue on with your challen-ging day at work, home, or at school.

Here are some tips to make the road to fitness an efficient highway:

1. Eat the right portion of good carbs, lean proteins, and good fats every meal.

2. Eat five to six times a day every two-and-a--half to three hours.

3. Drink water! 4. Reduce your,

salt, and sugar con-sumption (and dairy for those who have stopped growing- this is a topic for another article).

5. Increase your physical activity and sweat.

6. Laugh and smile often.

7. Sleep well.

8. Repeat. You are now prob-

ably saying to yourself, “Sure... easier said than done.” True, it is not easy to prepare five to six meals a day, and you may find it diffi-cult to eat every three hours, If you really want a physical change you really have to make some changes. Any-thing is possible if you really want it.

Adjust yourself and your schedule to meal preparing. Learn how to cook quick and easy meals that follow the right portions of carbs, proteins, and fats. Like anything else, the more you do it, the more it becomes a habit. Keep your weekly menu sim-ple and try something extra fancy on the week-end. This will make the meal prep for the week much easier. There is nothing wrong with having the same thing everyday or every other day. Buy a scale and portion your food out.

This is so important. Most times many are eating the right things, but their portion sizes are just not consistent and forcing your body to adjust.

Some may even say, “Eating healthy is ex-pensive.” This is a myth. Get it out of your head and stop using it as a reason to eat bad food. I can bet anyone that I could get three days worth of healthy meals for as much or less than it costs to feed a family of four one dinner at the golden arches.

We have loads of in-formation to share in hope to move the cit-izens of Thompson and its surrounding areas to better eating habits and a fitter lifestyle. We are strong believers in

wholesome cooking, drinking water, an in-creased active lifestyle, and helping others on their way to fitness.

Chris and Mitch Byrne are the owners of LABAN Fitness in Thompson.

ORDINARY CANADIAN CITIZEN

BEFORE THIS COUNTRY EMBARKS UPON THE BRAVE NEW SCENARIO OF “CELSIUS 451”, I TOO (WITH APOLOGIES TO CASANDRA) WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR ILLUSTRIOUS NEW PM-ELECT.

Right Honourable Sir,

Under the munifi cent regime of the previous Grand Vizier, there arose a troupe of principaled but unprincipled brigands who, being well connected, and much skilled in the black art of pecuniary obfuscation, managed to prevent Her Majesty’s duly appointed Tax Inquisitors from carrying out their sworn and lawful duties. To lapse into common vulgar parlance, they even appear to have gotten away with gleefully administering the well-known “one-fi nger salute” to the said Inquisitors. Sir, like the vast majority of your adoring ordinary citizenry, I pay my taxes because I fear what would happen to me if I didn’t, and plus I have no desire to watch out infrastructure crumble, and our young people go uneducated, and so forth, simply for want of adequate funding.

Sir, in my life I have seen almost sixty summers, so I am probably somewhat older than many of the greedy, arrogant, privileged, brash, short-sighted miscreants to whom I have above alluded. Thus, in all probability, my tax dollars helped to pay for the hospitals in which many of them were born. I am no genius, but in hindsight it appears that that may not have been the smartest investment that I (we) have ever made. I entreat you to promptly act in the public interest in this matter.

RCMP are looking for a truck driver who fl ed the scene of a head-on collision at Thompson Drive South and Cree Road on Oct. 22.

Police responded to the accident about 6:40 p.m. and took the passenger of the other vehicle involved in the collision to hospital for lower body injuries.

RCMP continue to investigate.


The city is once again looking at increasing the rates for taxis in the city, which were required to up-date to new in-car camera systems at a cost of about $1,200 vehicle as a result of a council resolution passed last February.

The public safety com-mittee considered proposed new rates last February be-fore revising the issue after the accuracy of some of their calculations was called into question.

New proposed rates were on the agenda at the pub-lic safety committee’s Oct. 8 meeting, the result of a meeting with 16 taxi owner/operators that was held in August.

The taxi operators are requesting that the flat starting rate remains at $4.25, while the cost per 100 metres rises by eight cents to 23 cents and the 10-second waiting time rate rises from 15 to 20 cents.

This represents a more than 50 per cent increase

in the 100-metre rate and a one-third increase in the waiting rate.

According to taxi meter tests conducted by the city, this would result in the cost of some of the more com-monly taken trips in the city rising between 11 and 36 per cent.

For example, the cost of a taxi from Brandon Cres-cent to the hospital, which is currently about $7.70, would rise by 95 cents to $8.65, while a trip from the Thompson Inn to the air-port, which currently costs around $14.90, would go up $5.35 to about $20.25. The costs for other typical trips would rise by somewhere between a dollar and $2.30, depending on the trip, the city’s test runs showed.

The test trips were also conducted at a second rate – $4.25 starting rate, 20 cents per 100 meters and 20 seconds per 10-second wait. This rate resulted in cost in-creases ranging from a little under fi ve per cent to a high of 22.48 per cent. The trip from Brandon Crescent to

the hospital cost $8.85 at this rate, including a wait at a red light, while the trip from the Thompson Inn to the airport cost $18.25.

Previously, the public safety committee considered a $4.25 starting rate, a wait-ing rate of 20 cents per 10 seconds and a driving rate of 30 cents per 100 metres.

Taxi rates have not in-creased in Thompson since 2007.

The city had 42 taxi oper-ator licences in February – one for every 333 people.

Licensing inspector Michelle Robichaud told the public safety commit-tee Feb. 12 that drivers need to make about 18 trips a day to break even with their costs.

Larry Macauley sent a letter to the Thompson Citizen in March arguing that the cost estimates pre-sented to the public safety committee in February were inaccurate and that doub-ling the cost per distance travelled would double the cost of the ride, excluding the starting rate.

Former professor and long-time social services consultant Stephen de Groot has recently concluded a tour promoting his new book, “Respon-sive Leadership in Social Services”, written and published in response to what is described as “the alarming state of supervision” within the fi eld of social services in Canada.

In a press release announcing the book launch, the former Thompson resident and son of former city coun-cillor Adrian de Groot described the current state of supervision as “the one workplace factor that has the greatest negative impact on workers and subsequently the clients they serve.”

De Groot’s focus is to implement what he calls “responsive leader-ship.” While current models tend to see management strategies as systems and provide one-size-fi ts-all solutions for handling workplace needs (which he describes as “re-active”), de Groot emphasizes the need to understand and appreciate the ground-level challenges faced by social service employees in terms of their needs, values, goals, and their strengths. As every community is different, so is every employee and every team, so unilateral, cookie-cut-ter management approaches aren’t appropriate for a fi eld which can be profoundly diffi cult, both technic-ally and emotionally. Instead, de Groot believes in fostering virtues

in individual leaders. In describing successful social services practices he’s encountered, he states, “It’s not so much about great models, as it is about great people.”

With over 20 years of experience in social services, de Groot sees much work to be done in improving Manitoba’s social services, particu-larly in the area of child and family services. However, he also believes that workers and supervisors need to come to terms with the realities of the work that they do. “People complain because they care, but it can’t always be their responsibility,” he says. “We need to fi gure out the people who want to do well, but have a hard time doing so, and those who just don’t care.”

The Norman Wild lost two close Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League (MFMHL) games on the road Oct. 24-25 after start-ing a three-game road trip with a double-digit loss in Morden.

Brittany Johnson, MacK-enzie McIntyre and Carri-gan Umpherville had goals for the Wild in a 5-3 loss to the Eastman Selects Oct. 25, while Jessi-Lynn Su-maling had a hat trick for the Selects with Michaela Hamm adding a pair. Tori Ellers made 23 saves in net for the Wild, who were out-shot 28-23.

Tiffany Larocque was the lone goal scorer for the Wild in a 3-1 loss to the Winni-peg Avros Oct. 24, scoring in the third period, while Winnipeg had one goal in each period, with Cara Di-Marco, Ainsley Dubowec and Kelsey McHolm each scoring once. Ellers made 33 saves while the Wild managed 15 shots on the Avros’ Lauren Taraschuk.

The road trip opened in disastrous fashion, with the Pembina Valley Hawks scoring seven times in the opening 20 minutes en route to an 11-0 shutout. Shayna Moore allowed eight goals on 18 shots before being replaced by Ellers, who was beaten three times on 22 shots. Haile Oswald stopped all 16 shots by the Wild, who have no wins and no points in eight regular season games so far.

The Wild are on the road again next weekend, facing the Yellowhead Chiefs Oct. 31 and the Interlake Light-ning Nov. 1.

MGEU members seeking fair deal from provincial governmentBY IAN [email protected]

Manitoba civil servants represented by the Mani-toba Government Em-ployees Union (MGEU) have been without a con-tract since March 2014 and their leaders are embarking on a bus trip around the province en-titled the Fair Deal Tour to get the attention of MLAs and pressure the govern-ment to get an agreement done.

“It’s been 18 months that they’ve been with-out a collective agree-ment now,” said MGEU president Michelle Gawronsky on Oct. 26. “We just haven’t been able to get the same offer that everyone else across the province has already been enjoying for some years. Our members are very frustrated and feel-ing very disrespected and very much that their work is not valued, the services they provide are not val-ued the same.”

The president says the initial reaction from the public during the tour’s fi rst stops makes her con-

fi dent that MGEU mem-bers enjoy people’s sup-port.

“If today’s reaction from the public is any indica-tion we are very, very con-fi dent that Manitobans are going to be calling [their MLAs] and they’re go-ing to be saying to them, ‘Look, make sure that these services are in place. Why aren’t you treating these people fairly?’” said Gawronsky. “I think the public knowing that our

members aren’t asking for anything more than anyone else got, they just want to be treated the same. It’s a respect thing.”

Giving MGEU mem-bers the same contract enjoyed by other unions whose workers are paid by the provincial govern-ment would make it easier to retain and recruit staff instead of losing them to the private sector, the president says.

“They come in, they get

their training and then they leave to go to the pri-vate sector which, in some areas, highways and such, the pay is seven and eight dollars an hour more,” Gawronsky says. “We’re trying to ensure that Manitobans know this. We’re asking our fellow Manitobans to phone their MLA, tell them that this is important, that these ser-vices are important and we need to ensure that we’ve got the staff there

to be able to maintain the services.”

And while it costs money to pay staff more, Gawronsky says the al-ternative is even more ex-pensive.

“In your area the snow has already started to go,” she said. “If the taxpayers are going to have to pay more for the private sector to come and do the snow clearing is that the best use of our tax dollars? We’re pointing out to the

MLAs that there are better places to be able to use the tax dollars which wouldn’t be as expensive, the ser-vices would be guaran-teed and our members are extremely proud to do the services that they do. They’re proud to be work-ing for Manitoba.”

MGEU members will be picketing outside Thomp-son MLA Steve Ashton’s offi ce on Friday asking for a new collective agree-ment.

October 16 was World Food Day, a day for raising awareness of food security issues around the world, and to mark the occasion, Food Matters Manitoba is encouraging Northern Manitobans to take their food into their own hands, by supporting the keeping of gardens and livestock in the remote north.

The day holds particular signifi cance for northern-ers living in remote com-munities across Manitoba, where rising food prices have been increasingly out-pacing the incomes in many remote communities. Oct. 6 saw the announcement of the provincial govern-ment’s new pilot program Affordable Food in Northern Manitoba (AFFIRM). The program currently seeks to partially subsidize the cost of basic goods for 10 of the communities most affected by exorbitant costs of food, where it is not uncommon to pay upwards of $15 for a four-litre jug of milk.

Yet as other communities await the success and ex-pansion of the current pi-lot project, some Northern Manitoba residents, such as Sam McIvor and Lorna Ross in Cross Lake, have taken food production into their own hands. McIvor and Ross have been raising chickens, and have joined many others in their com-munity who hope to develop a sense of independence and stability within their com-munity’s food supply. Other northerners have adopted smaller forms of livestock, with Food Matters reporting a number of enthusiastic beekeepers popping up all over the north.

Stefan Epp-Koop, acting executive director of Food Matters Manitoba, offered some helpful tips for north-erners who would like to start their own edible gar-dens. Root vegetables, like carrots, onions, or tubers like potatoes, are resilient to cold and frost, and stockpile well to be enjoyed into the late fall. Epp-Koop has also reported much success with cabbage and lettuce, dense veggies that carry a degree of self-protection from the elements. Frost is a perpet-ual threat to above ground vegetables, both for leafy veggies like lettuce, and fruiting crops like peppers or tomatoes, and protect-ive greenhouses can help extend the short growing season. However, they don’t need to be complicated: Re-cently, Food Matters hosted a workshop for building simple but effective green-houses out of old trampo-line parts and plastic sheet-ing.

With gardens and micro-ranches come more than fresh veggies, however. With the fi rst snow hav-ing fallen in the north, the growing season has drawn to a close. Winter, trad-itionally, has been a sea-son of want, when food is carefully rationed and a constant pre-occupation. Today’s global market has largely removed these sea-sonal distinctions for us. It is important to remember, in times like these, that this perpetual bounty for some now means a perpet-ual scarcity for others. For those who are disconnected from the source of our sup-plies, gardening is one way in which to renew a per-sonal relationship with this delicate resource.

School board trustee Janet Brady stands by a drawing of

Thompson’s schools and the School District of Mystery

Lake offi ce. It was drawn by an R.D. Parker Collegiate art

teacher and presented to Eleanor Ingalls – who came to

Thompson in 1963 and was superintendent of schools from

1967 until 1981 – upon her retirement and was donated

back to the school district by her daughter. The drawing is

now displayed in the school district offi ce. Eleanor Ingalls

died in April at the age of 90 and her daughter Trish said

in a letter to the School District of Mystery Lake, “I think it

fi tting to return this wonderful artwork to its home in the

school district where my mother dedicated so many years

of her life.”

The Boys & Girls Club of Thompson held their annual general meeting on Oct. 14, with executive director Regina DaSilva-Gibbons highlighting con-tinuing programs, plans for the future and changes to their board of directors in her report.

The club’s building on Thompson Drive will be undergoing renovations this year to make it wheel-chair accessible, with work proceeding in three phas-es. The fi rst phase will see the building of a raised berm to provide a path to the entrance that will later be paved, as well as instal-

lation of automatic doors. The second phase involves renovating and expanding the main fl oor washroom so that it will comfortably accommodate a wheel-chair. After that, a new offi ce will be built because the washroom renovations will require the removal of one of the existing offi ces.

The Boys & Girls Club also has plans to estab-lish a satellite location at the Multi-Culture Centre near Wapanohk Commun-ity School in Eastwood, though the opening has been delayed. The club now hopes to open the sat-ellite location in December.

The club receives sup-port from many organiza-

tions, including the Royal Bank of Canada, which has donated a cumulative total of more than $300,000 to the Boys & Girls Club over a number of years, as well as Vale, the Thomas Sill Foundation, and Mani-toba Community Services Council. Core funding from the provincial government via Neighbourhoods Alive, Healthy Child, the Crime Prevention Branch and Manitoba 4 Youth has been extended to this year and the government signed a three-year contract that will see the funding run until March 31, 2019.

The club is seeking new donors to contribute to the after school program,

which provides activities and meals to children.

“The BGCT is somewhat unique insofar as this ser-vice has been provided at no cost to participants and their families,” said DaSilva-Gibbons in here report. “I am now tasked with ensuring that we ex-haust every possible av-enue necessary to continue this important work.”

The club does provide some of its own food for the nutrition program though a gardening pro-gram, which saw a green-house built over the sum-mer.

DaSilva-Gibbons said the club has been fortun-ate to get past the high

turnover that has plagued it for the past few year, with core employees re-maining the same over the past year and new talent brought aboard.

“I am extraordinarily fortunate to have a team whose dedication, know-ledge, abilities, strengths and yes, weaknesses, compliment and contrast in a way that seems to work simultaneously,” the executive director wrote.

The board of directors will see some changes as the club enters a new fi scal year. Vice-president Ingrid Gosselin is leaving after about fi ve years of service.

“I hope she will take some of that time to smell

the roses,” said DaSilva-Gibbons, extending simi-lar sentiments to secretary Janet Brady, who is leaving the board after nine years. “I wish her the best and hope to see her as always at the club’s events.”

On the other hand, the board has also welcomed a new member – Mat-thew Boscariol, the city’s director of planning and community development.

“He is young, energetic and knowledgeable and already a champion of the accessibility project which will provide ser-vices to more children and youth in our com-munity,” said DaSilva-Gibbons.

R.D. Parker Collegiate basketball star and 2015 AAA provincials MVP Adrianna Proulx will be taking her game to the university ranks in 2016 when she suits up as a member of the Brandon University Bobcats.

Proulx’s commitment to Brandon was announced by the university on the athletics program website Oct. 21.

“I’m very excited to be-come a Bobcat and look forward to being a part of the team next season,” said Proulx in the news release. “I was impressed with BU coach Novell Thomas’s plans and posi-tive outlook for the future of the Bobcats. It is one of the reasons why I decided to commit to BU. I like what he is doing with the program and I feel like BU is the right fi t for me.”

Thomas said the 5’10”

Grade 12 student’s many accomplishments and ac-colades are well deserved.

“We are really excited to have Adrianna join the program,” said Thomas. “Her athleticism, length and desire to excel, are her greatest assets. She’s won at all levels and has an understanding of what it takes to succeed. I’m looking forward to work-ing with Adrianna next season.”

In addition to helping the RDPC Trojans to a pair of second-place fi nishes and its fi rst ever girls’ AAA provincial basketball championship, Proulx was ranked seventh among girls’ high school hoops players by the Winnipeg Free Press last season and has earned MVP honours in multiple tournaments, as well as twice being named the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Associa-tion’s player of the week and senior female athlete

of the year at RDPC in Grade 11. She was also a member of Manitoba’s

2014 national champion 17-and-under team.

Trojans’ basketball

coach Sara Gillis said she believed early on that Proulx would continue to play competitively after high school.

“She pretty much has what if takes; excep-tional athleticism, sound basketball skills, leader-ship skills, some elite level playing experience, a great work ethic and the ability to focus and drive towards what she wants...and she wants to play at the next level,” said Gillis.

Brandon University, the same university Gillis at-tended, is a good fi t for a rural athlete that does not care for big cities, says the coach, as well as an en-vironment in which Proulx can have an impact.

“Brandon has a young enthusiastic coach who has been commit-ted to strengthening the women’s basketball pro-gram at BU and is doing it by pursuing great recruits like Adrianna,” Gillis said.

“She will be entering an up-and-coming program and that is sometimes more exciting than en-tering into a top program; she can be a recognizable and direct contributor to the future growth and success of the program.”

And although Gillis feels her star player won’t need much adjustment to be successful in univer-sity basketball, having one more season of high school basketball – her fourth year on the senior varsity team – will make her that much better.

“She still has another year to grow and strength-en her game, and I believe with more hard work and focus she will bring it up several more notches be-fore she walks onto the collegiate hardwood,” said Gillis.

Proulx plans to study physical education at Brandon beginning next fall.

Last-minute drama marks midget AA showdowns

between Thompson and Norway HouseBY IAN [email protected]

The midget AA Thomp-son King Miners were 30 seconds away from opening up their 2015-16 Norman Minor Hockey Association season with a perfect 2-0 record in Thompson Oct. 24-25, but a shot that de-fl ected off a stick and right to a member of the Norway House North Stars left them to settle for a tie in the fi rst game of the season.

The North Stars had their goaltender out for the ex-tra attacker when a wrist shot from the blueline went off the shaft of a stick and right to Chance Queskeka-pow, who put it in the open side behind King Miners goaltender Cruz Mitchell to tie the score 5-5. Norway House nearly pulled off an unlikely victory with a shot that beat Mitchell but not the fi nal buzzer as time ran out in the third period.

The North Stars were trailing 5-2 midway

through the third period be-fore Roman Muminawatim beat Mitchell with a high slapper from just inside the blueline to cut the lead to two with 9:46 to play. There was just over four minutes on the clock when Ronald Muskego made it a one-goal game.

The King Miners had taken control with four straight goals in the second period after being outscored 2-1 in the opening 20 min-utes. James Cripps tied the game when he put home a cross-zone pass at the edge of the crease a little before the game’s midway point. Jerome Linklater gave Thompson the lead when, after being stopped on a par-tial breakaway, he picked up his rebound and beat the North Stars netminder on a wraparound. Justin Spence made it a two-goal lead when he converted a pass from Logan Evans on his second attempt and Kendall Anderson extended the lead

to three with a power play goal 1:21 before the second intermission.

Evan Ritchie opened the scoring on a power play in the fi rst period and Alex Murray was stopped on a breakaway by North Stars goaltender Liam Hutchings just over a minute later. Kashtin Ducharme got the fi rst goal for Norway House on a high wrister from the wing with less than three minutes to play in the open-ing period. Muskego put the North Stars ahead on a sim-ilar shot just over a minute later.

Shots in the game were 59-34 for the King Miners.

Ashton Anderson opened the scoring Oct. 25 when he took a rebound off the back boards and put it past Kenton Brass with 1:09 left in the fi rst period. That lead stood until Justin Spence of the King Miners tied it up midway through the middle frame. Chase Gurniak gave Thompson the lead when

he scored from a scramble in front of the net about seven minutes into the third period, but Marshall Mowatt’s goal from a simi-lar scrum at the other end of

the ice with 7:24 left in the game knotted the score 2-2. It appeared the teams were headed to a second straight tie until Murray broke in alone from the blueline and

beat Hutchings with a deke and a high backhand with only 45 seconds to play for the 3-2 win. Shots in the game were 43-29 for Thompson.


The Thompson King Miners’ Justin Spence had goals in both of his team’s games against

the Norway House North Stars at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena Oct. 24-25. He was stopped on

this attempt Oct. 24 but his teammate Evan Ritchie buried the rebound for the fi rst goal

in what wound up as a 5-5 tie.

The Norman North-stars played four games in four days on the road Oct. 22-25 and returned home without a point after being cumulatively outscored 24-6 by their opponents.

The Northstars opened the trip in Kenora Oct. 22, the fi rst of a back-to-back games against the This-tles. Lance Laycock, on a power play, and Ethan Stuckless staked the Northstars to a 2-0 lead before the Thistles struck back with Hunter Buzzi and Matthew Pitchenese notching goals, Buzzi’s with the man advantage, to even the game by the fi rst intermission. Ryan Mignault and Trey Paler-mo – who fi nished with two goals – had tallies in the middle frame to give Kenora a 4-2 lead. Paler-mo’s second straight goal 17 seconds into the third made it a 5-2 advan-tage and Brendan Martin

closed the scoring for a 6-2 Thistles win. Connor Faulkner made 39 save in the Northstars’ net as his team was outshot 45-30.

Friday’s game finished with a similar score but the Northstars never led, giving up first period goals to Mignault and Palermo and falling be-hind 3-0 on Mignault’s second in the middle frame. Laycock gave the Northstars some life, scoring once at even strength and once with the man advantage in the second period to make it a one-goal game, but Mignault made it a hat trick in the third period, with Martin, Pitchenese and Adam Withers, shorthanded, also adding goals. The Northstars’ penalty kill held the Thistles off the scoresheet despite seven power plays and Jer-emy Dutcawich made 25 saves in net, as his team outshot the Thistles 35-

32 in the 7-2 loss.Faulkner was the star

for Norman Oct. 24, stopping 43 of 47 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Win-nipeg Thrashers, who got goals from Kyle Wilt-shire and Garrett Kuklica in the first period, Riley Bruce in the second and Nate Hooper in the third as the Thrashers’ power play went two-for-five on the game.

The road swing closed with a 7-2 loss to the Interlake Lightning in Teulon Oct. 25. Keith Monias had both goals for the Northstars, open-ing scoring in the game just 2:19 in and then scoring at the same time in the third period, by which point his team was already trailing by four goals. Jordan Kristjan-son and Noah Basarab each had a pair of goals for the Lightning, while Jack Einarson, Kaden Kotowich and Karson Collins had singles. Interlake’s power play

went three-for-six in the game, which saw the Lightning outshoot the Northstars 48-44. Dut-cawich started and was pulled about halfway through the game fol-lowing Interlake’s fifth

goal having made 22 saves. Faulkner stopped 19 of 21 shots he faced in relief.

The Northstars are back at home Oct. 31 and

Nov. 1 when they host the Yellowhead Chiefs. Through 11 games, the Northstars have just a single point courtesy of an overtime loss.

The Thompson Recy-cle Centre (TRC) is once again being governed by an independent board of directors after council voted Oct. 5 in favour of resolutions to approve a new bylaw and new board members for the centre.

City manager Gary Cep-petelli, the city’s chief fi nancial offi cer Jenny Krentz and councillors Ron Matechuk, Kathy Valentino and Duncan Wong were removed as TRC board members and replaced by Bonny Sou-sa, Jeff Fountain, Prisid Bhattarai, Milt Goble and Anthony McInnis. Wong remains council’s liaison

to the TRC board as is customary with controlled entities that the city con-tributes to fi nancially.

The city took over the board of the TRC in 2011 following the changeover of garbage and recycling collection in the city to an automated system. Prior to that, workers had col-lected recyclable materials by hand and sorted them into a trailer pulled behind a pickup truck as they made their way through the city. Once the automat-ed collection began, the TRC changed to a system in which mixed recycled materials were deposited onto a conveyor belt in the recycling centre’s building

on Severn Crescent and sorted into paper, plastics and other material types by workers inside.

“Because of that fun-damental change in the collection process and due to the fact that there was a need to get new board members because a lot of the board members had expressed interest in get-ting off the board, the city at that time deemed it in the best interests of the city to retain the oper-ation of the recycle cen-tre and as such in 2011 made amendments to the existing bylaw of the re-cycle centre that put in place existing councillors and administration from the City of Thompson to oversee the operation of the recycle centre,” Cep-petelli told council. “Fast forward four years to to-

night, the efforts of the recycle centre staff and general manager and councillors and adminis-tration have got that oper-ation up to a point where it’s likely in the best in-terests to return that operation to a standalone board.”

Deputy mayor Penny Byer, who chaired the Oct. 5 meeting from which Mayor Dennis Fenske and Coun. Kathy Valentino were absent, said in a press release, “I am happy to see that the TRC is back on track and will continue to provide services to Thompson and the region effi ciently and safely.”

TRC manager Billie-Jo Thompson said she was pleased to be moving for-ward and grateful for the city’s assistance.

Twin athletes Jemiha and William Hart of Thompson (fi fth and third from right) were at

Safeway Oct. 24 as part of the supermarket’s campaign to raise money for Special Olym-

pics programs across Western Canada that runs until Nov. 1, with customers who make a

$2 donation receiving fi ve Air Miles. Jemiha and Willam competed at the Special Olympic

provincial games in Winnipeg last winter, with Jemiha winning two gold, one silver and

one bronze in snowshoeing and William winning gold in fi gure skating. The twins will

compete at the national Special Olympics in Cornerbrook, Newfoundland next February.

Safeway customers have donated more than $2 million to Special Olympics Canada and

more than $16 million to support people with intellectual and physical diffi culties since

2008.
