Hunting is a common hobby for many people in the north, but for Anne and Blaine Snihor it’s their business. Trapper Mike’s Outfi tting has reached their 25th anniversary of being a bear hunting outfi tter.

Anne previously had the business with her late husband Mike, but has continued on without him. “Some times I stay home while they hunt to cook, but I do go and bait. I go through the bush but I’m no young chicken. When my husband died, people didn’t think I could do

it alone, but I showed them.”The business offers a week of

bear hunting to anyone outside of Canada. Recently a group of four from Michigan and South Carolina traveled to Thompson for the hunt. Gary Cumberworth has been bear hunting with the Snihor’s three

times previously, and convinced his friends to come with. “The fi rst comments I told the friends I brought up here, is I tell them about how great the people are, before the bear hunting. Miss Anne is the nicest lady, and the helpers,

BY AMANDA SANDERSSPECIAL TO THE THOMPSON CITIZEN

Summer is winding down here in Thompson. The kids are heading back to school and the Thompson Public Library is moving from summer to fall activities.

In July, the Library held “A Week of Dinosaurs” on the week of July 21st to 25th, where Amanda taught the kids about a different dinosaur each day (Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Tyranno-saurus Rex, Apatosaurus and Stego-saurus in case you were wondering) as well as read a story and provided a craft or played a game associated with that dinosaur. On the fi nal day, kids built a Stegosaurus skeleton on our window in the junior section, and the kids had to work together to fi nd out which bones went in specifi c spots

so our Stegosaurus actually ended up looking like a Stegosaurus.

Throughout July and August, the Li-brary ran a “Summer Reading Bingo” which challenged the kids in the Li-brary to read 72 books about 72 dif-ferent subjects such as “Mommies”, “Vegetables”, “Moose”, “Canada” and many things in between. Our goal was to challenge kids to read outside of what they normally would pick on their own and hopefully fi nd a new favourite book or author! We had fi ve eager readers fi nish all 72 books! Priz-es will be awarded to everyone who participated.

If you have spent any time around the Library you will have noticed the wonderful planters on our front sidewalk. The Retired Teachers As-sociation were kind enough to once

again plant fl owers and vegetables in our big planters, with plants such as tomatoes, sunfl owers, corn and a wide variety of fl owers, mostly ed-ible. We are hoping that the weather holds out a little longer so we can get some corn and tomatoes to share. Our square planters with a variety of lovely fl owers were donated by a former board member with quite the green thumb. We are so grateful for the donation of plants and times given to liven up the outside of the Library.

We look forward to seeing you at the Thompson Public Library this fall! Check out our Facebook page for upcoming events, visit our website www.thompsonlibrary.com or come on down and see what we have to offer. As always, Library cards are free for Thompson residents.

In review: Summer at the Library

Continued from Page 1you all feel like family. Plus her cooking is unreal.”

For Charles Southworth, this was his fi rst bear hunt-ing experience, and it’s al-ways been on his bucket list. Southworth was the fi rst to shoot a bear during the trip, which was around a 500-pound black bear. “It was a hair raising ex-perience. It came in just before legal shooting time. We checked where it took off too, Blaine [Snihor] was covering my backside,

because you never know what’s coming up behind you.” The bear was shot with a rifl e, and the meat was all used, and the hide will be traveling back with Southworth to become a bear rug.

A typical hunting day starts with breakfast at 7:00 am, and hunters are on stand by 8:30 am, and will hunt until lunchtime. After lunch hunters will take a shower to keep their scent down, take a nap and be back on stand

by 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm. Trapper Mikes Outfi tting hunts between Thompson and Joey Lake.

Calvin McLeod, from Mayville Michigan also came to Thompson for the fi rst time. McLeod had previously done hunts in Ontario and southern Manitoba, but heard the hospitality was like no other in Thompson. Being a taxidermist, McLeod will be putting his 275-pound bear he shot with a bow in Thompson on a full mount after the trip.

Scott Price, who’s been to Thompson once previ-ously says he had a close encounter with a bear who was standing right under his tree stand. “He licked the ladder stand, hung around, and then went back to the bait barrel and laid down. It was crazy.”

All four men say they would likely come back to Thompson for the bear hunting, but mostly for the hospitality and for the Snihor family. “The people

have been great. It’s a good time. I would come back if Miss. Anne is still doing it. She does so well, and it’s nice accommodations, good food, and I feel like family,” Price fi nished off by saying.

The family run business has been going strong, and business happens through word of mouth as well as ads in a bear-hunting magazine. Blaine says they watch out for what bears to hunt. “There’s cameras so if there’s a mamma bear and cubs, we won’t hunt them, and we’ll leave them. The hunters will take the meat, so nothing is wast-ed.”

For Anne, she has no plans to stop just yet, and is proud of how far she’s come since losing her husband. “My son Blaine [Snihor] looked at me one day and told me how proud his dad, my husband, would be proud of me for all I’ve done. That was enough for me to keep going.”

The start of September brought back the school zone speed limit bylaw. Drivers will have to re-duce their speeds from 50

kilometres an hour, to 30 kilometres per hour be-tween the hours of 8:00am-5:00pm. The speed limit will be 30 kilometres Mon-day to Friday until the end of the school year in June.

The Thompson RCMP will be out patrolling the area, and the one traffi c en-forcer member will be pay-ing extra close attention to the school zones says Will Tewnion with the RCMP.

If a motorist is caught speeding, say 20 kilometres over the limit a fi ne of $312.25 can be issued, as well as demerit points will be taken away by Manitoba Public Insurance.

Comedians from Just for Laughs comedy show showed up in Thompson on Aug. 21 for a night filled with giggles and laughter. All money raised during the event was put towards Beastly Bou-tique, and was hosted by Northern Manitoba Paws in Need.

Owner Vicki McNevin says the night was a com-plete success. “A lot of people were really gener-ous with donations for the auction once we started getting around, and say-ing it was happening. We got a good response. The night was great.”

Over 120 tickets were sold for the event, but Mc-Nevin isn’t sure exactly how many showed up, although she suggested over 100.

After expenses were paid the night racked in

$5,000, which will help pay for a hip surgery for Nico, a dog who re-cently got adopted. Nico will need two different surgeries, and although he’s not getting his hips replaced, just worked on, the bill will be anywhere near $1,500 to $3,000.

If Nico can lose 20 pounds his first surgery will be this month or in October. It’s been asked that Nico loses that weight be cause he will be inactive after the sur-gery, and the vet doesn’t want him to increase his weight by much more. His second surgery will take place around April or May.

McNevin says this fundraiser was needed because of the break in that happened between May 2-3, which resulted in almost $1,500 being stolen.

The comedy was a one-

night event, but McNevin hopes to continue this from now on, on a yearly basis. “We’re really im-pressed to how people re-

acted to it, and helped out. We had a lot of people say they enjoyed themselves, and that they hoped we would do it again.”

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor:In the midst of insan-

ity and fears we stop dead in our tracks and some-where voices of enough

is enough us echoing. No one is perfect and no one will be. Not everyone ap-preciates or approves of what we say, what we

do or who we are That is okay. We learn that people do not always say what they mean or mean what they say. Not everyone will be there for you and life isn’t always about you. We learn as we grow and think that life some-times isn’t fair and we don’t get what we think we deserve. “Enough is Enough” is when we stop pointing fi ngers and begin to accept people as they are. We learn that it is truly in giving that we re-ceive and learn to go with our instincts. This way it may be a design in our lives to live as best as we can just for today.

Ken Ross,Thompson

To the Editor:It’s a slap in the face to

Manitobans, worsening the sting of ongoing hydro rate hikes with no relief in sight.

Senior Manitoba Hy-dro executives have given themselves pay raises of be-tween 20 and 30 per cent over the past two years, just prior to their submissions to the Public Utilities Board earlier this year, patting themselves on the back for holding the line on salaries. This was all in the context of asking for approval for a 3.95 per cent rate increase that took effect Aug. 1. It’s the fi rst of the annual rate hikes Hydro has indicated it needs over the next decade to help cover the costs of the NDP’s waste, as it pushes ahead with the $4.6-billion BiPole III transmission line and $6.5-billion Keeyask generating station.

But don’t blame Hy-dro for just following the

tone at the top. The NDP government has shown a disrespect to Manitobans throughout its term, fat-tening compensation for high-level managers while front-line workers grow more disillusioned and services suffer.

What do we get? Mani-toba is last among the provinces in health care wait times, wage growth and quality of education, and in solving the problems of child poverty and vio-lence toward women, just to name a few.

Grace Hospital has the worst emergency room wait times of any hospital in Canada, for two years run-ning now. And the health minister says she wishes she “had a magic wand” to address this disgraceful situation.

The news of the pay hikes for the Hydro execu-tives comes as Manitobans

learn the rates they pay for electricity are poised to more than double over the next 20 years because of the NDP’s mismanagement of the utility.

Under the NDP, Mani-tobans are paying more and getting less – and they’re tired of it. By growing the bureaucracy and hiking sal-aries of Hydro executives, and forcing Manitobans to pay more for hydro while getting less, the NDP has proven yet again it needs a break.

Manitobans want a change. With your help, a change for the better is coming.

To the Editor:Thanks to all those

who’ve supported the ef-fort to extend the Camping season at Paint Lake and Lakeview Campgrounds. As you may know the season has been extended to September 20th at the Paint Lake main site and until Thanksgiving at Lakeview, for both sea-sonal and transient camp-ers alike. I’d like to thank all those who signed the on-line and paper ver-sions of the petitions as well as our MLA The Honorable Steve Ashton, and the Regional Director for Parks, Mr. Pierce Rob-erts. Pierce was particu-larly helpful, and I believe, instrumental in making this happen. I hope all those who signed the peti-tions will now sign up for either extended seasonal camping or book a few days of Fall camping to show their fi nancial sup-port so we can keep and possibly even extend the season even more in the years to come.

Your backup in the Cloud

BY YAWHANN CHONGSPECIAL TO THE

THOMPSON CITIZEN

Backing up to an external hard drive is considered a lo-cal backup. This protects you from data loss or data corrup-tion. However, what if your local backup goes missing or suffers a hardware failure?

This is where the Cloud steps in.

First off, what is the Cloud? For the most part, it’s just a buzzword for an accessible computer network, whether in your home, offi ce, or on the Internet.

However, the Cloud is mostly a concatenated mis-nomer for Cloud service, which is a technology service or set of services that exists on the Cloud. Think of it like how Kleenex is commonly used to inaccurately describe all types of facial tissue.

A very good example of a ubiquitous Cloud service is email. Since your email exists on the Internet, it is, by today’s defi nition, a Cloud service.

It now stands to follow that the Cloud can provide a backup service.

Why would you use a Cloud backup service? Be-cause local backups are sometimes not enough. In fact, it can sometimes replace

local backups.For the purposes of this

example, it will be assumed that any kind of complexity needs to be reduced and the usage of Cloud backup will be exclusive.

Unlike local backup, soft-ware for Cloud backup is not included with Windows or OS X. While there are Cloud storage solutions available for both operating systems (OneDrive and iCloud, re-spectively), they are not con-sidered Cloud backup.

So, what are your options for Cloud backup? Two very highly acclaimed solutions are BackBlaze and Crash-Plan. Both have their pros and cons, but the focus here is on how each can serve you best based on your require-ments.

BackBlaze (backblaze.com) is quite possibly the easiest Cloud backup service you will ever need. The ap-plication to install on your computer is small and fast. Best of all, it’s the cheapest solution of the two, coming in at $5 per month, or $50 per year.

CrashPlan (crashplan.com), on the other hand, is very similar, except it’s made for people who need more control over their backup options.

ROBIN WARKSPECIAL TO THE

THOMPSON CITIZEN

The MMSPL Men’s & Women’s Softball Tourna-ment once again provided quality softball and good times.

This year the annual slo-pitch event was held Aug. 28-30 in Thompson. Each year it attracts teams in part because the top four on each side are eligible to go to the Slo-Pitch National tournament.

“A lot of competitive softball was played, but a lot of fun was had as well,”

wrote Jeff Anderson, one of the event’s organizers, in an email interview.

On the men’s side, VAM from Norway House took home the top prize. Thomp-son’s Bomb Squad placed second. Get Set from Nor-way House and Thomp-son’s Blue Jays were third and fourth, respectively. The Thompson Lady Jays took home the women’s title. Also placing in the top three were the Blazettes from Thompson and Nor-way House’s Esau Angels.

The tournament drew

13 men’s teams and eight women’s. This is about the same as in the past few years, Anderson said.

Teams are drawn to the event not only for the chance to represent Mani-toba at nationals but also its cash prizes. The fi rst place squad in the men’s division earned $3,000 with $1,500 going to the second place team and $500 for third. In the women’s ranks, the top team received $1,800 with second and third being paid $800 and $400, respective-ly. Each team pays a $500

entry fee. Once all of the bills are paid, the remain-ing money is distributed among the top three teams on each side of the tour-nament. The prize money was boosted by the teams running the beer gardens adding some money to the prize pot.

Clint Martens spear-headed organizing the tournament. The Bomb Squad and Bandits ran the beer gardens. Martin Vermette and Anne Bee received praise from the organizers for umpiring.

It will be one stop shop-ping for health, leisure, recreation, and cultural activities at Thompson’s 23rd Annual Health and Leisure Mart.

The event will be held Friday, Sept. 11, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday, Sept. 12, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The health and leisure mart, which has no admission charge, takes place in the Gordon Beard Arena at the Thompson Regional Community Centre.

“We have a whole gamut of Recreation, Health and Leisure oriented organiza-tions and businesses,” Cory Sparkes, the facility coordin-ator at the City of Thomp-son’s Recreation, Parks and Culture department, wrote in an email interview. “Copies of the new Leisure Guide will be available along with promotion of our 2015-16 Concert Series.”

Sparkes said last week that registration for the mart was going well. Between 60 and 70 organizations have

been represented in each of the past couple years.

“It really provides a great opportunity for the public to access information about what health and leisure op-portunities are available in Thompson,” said Sparkes, who noted that a Northern Market, featuring fresh and health food producers, will be held in conjunction with the mart.

Many organizations rely on the annual mart to help them reach new and re-turning participants.

“The leisure mart week-end makes registration so easy because rather than having people call me and make appoint-ments throughout a couple of weeks to meet with me one-on-one,I can just be in one central place and get it all done in one weekend,” wrote Michelle Pruder, who operates Music for Young Children in Thompson, in an email interview. “An ad in the Leisure Guide, and the leisure mart weekend is the only marketing I need to do.”

Pruder said the mart draws lots of young families, which is important for her. This year she is accepting new students in classes for under the age of eight. Pruder has taught group and private piano lessons in Thompson for 30 years. The Music for Young Chil-dren program, which Pruder has taught off and on since 1988, focuses on using games, activities, stories, and puppets to teach music.

The mart attracts all dif-ferent kinds of organiza-tions – from the fairly new to long established ones like the Girl Guides of Canada and the Thompson Minor Hockey Association. For some groups, the mart is im-portant for connecting with both potential participants and crucial volunteers.

“The association benefi ts us by getting to meet new and returning members in person and answer some of the startup questions asso-ciated with TMHA (Try-out times, start dates, etc.),” local hockey association president Steve Hall wrote

in an email. “We also get to recruit coaches and new volunteers.”

As of early September, the TMHA was looking for fi ll a number of board and coach-ing positions.

“Without volunteers, we cannot operate,” Hall wrote. “We currently need a treasurer, and fundraising coordinator just for startup, and peewee, midget, tourna-ment, Munn Cup, and pre-novice directors to assemble the leagues. Without these roles fi lled, there will be no hockey.”

At the mart, the local Girl Guides of Canada organiza-tion meets girls who are able to ask questions, learn what Girl Guides of Canada does, and register. In addition, the organization hopes to bring in new adult volunteers after speaking to people at the mart. Girl Guides of Canada includes both volunteers who run various units and those who help out at one or two meetings a month.

“We simply can’t run this organization without the amazing team of women we have volunteering on a weekly basis. … Every hour someone can give us is ap-preciated and the best part is getting paid in smiles,” wrote local district commis-sioner Nadine Vokey in an email.

The mart also provides an opportunity to connect with other Thompson organiza-tions for partnerships. As just one example, Vokey said a conversation at last year’s mart led to 21 Brown-ies, girls ages seven and eight, going to Blue Water Studios for an art class

And, of course, the or-ganization also has visitors at the mart asking about their world famous cookies. Chocolate mint cookies will be arriving in early October and the classic chocolate and vanilla sandwich ones are still available. The cook-ies help fund such projects as local girls attending the international Guiding Mo-saic camp next summer.

Enrolment has increased greatly the past few years for the Girls Guides of Can-ada. With programs for girls from the age of fi ve to 17, the organization had 56 girls registered as of last week. In 2014-2015, there were 96 girls registered and the organization are hoping for more than 100 this year.

HEARING: Hearing: The Public Utilities Board (Board) anticipates holding a public hearing of an application from Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation (MPI) for approval of rates and premiums for compulsory vehicle and driver insurance as of March 1, 2016. The hearing would take place at the Board’s Hearing Room, 4th Floor, 330 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB (commencing at 9:00 a.m.) on October 5, 2015.

RATE IMPACT:The Corporation is requesting approval for Basic Autopac vehicle and drivers licence insurance rates and premiums effective March 1, 2016, which, if approved, will result in no overall change in MPI’s Basic premium revenue (excluding the impact of vehicle upgrades and an increased overall driver and vehicle population).

Actual vehicle and driver premiums would vary depending on claim and driving experience, insurance use, territory and vehicle rate group. Full particulars, including the rate impact and application, can be found on the Manitoba Public Insurance website www.mpi.mb.ca.

PARTICIPATION:Parties wishing to submit a brief or to express comments at the hearing should contact the Board Secretary.

BY LYNN TAYLOROn Thursday, Septem-

ber 3 at noon the cam-paign headquarters for Nikki Ashton was offi -cially opened. Located in the lower level at 7 Selkirk Avenue the offi cial cere-monies were held in the parking lot.

The event started with a performance from drum-mers who had travelled from Lac Brochet.

The fi rst person to

speak was Blair Hudson who is Ms. Ashton’s cam-paign manager. He said this was the best time for the N.D.P. to form a fed-eral government and that it is imperative that Nikki Ashton be re-elected. He encouraged all present and soon to be members of the N.D.P. to provide as much assistance as pos-sible to make sure this happens.

The Honourable, Steve

Ashton MLA and Provin-cial Minister of Infrastruc-ture and Transportation

then took the podium and talked about Nikki’s ac-tivities between elections

where she travels exten-sively throughout the rid-ing visiting all commun-ities. He also stated he felt there was no one bet-ter prepared in the House of Commons than Nikki to take on Prime Minister Steven Harper. He said that in recent years he has been very proud when he is very often referred to as Nikki Ashton’s father … with those words he turned the podium over to

Nikki.Nikki thanked her Dad

and went on to thank everyone who was in at-tendance. She particular-ly acknowledged the at-tendance of Les Ellsworth, President of USW, Local 6166, Wendy Yufryn, President of C.U.P.W., Tra-vis Mirus, President of I.A.F.F. Thompson Fire-fi ghters, Tom Weenusk who was in Thompson from Oxford House, past Thompson Mayor Tim Johnston and past City Councillor Charlene Lafreniere.

Nikki advised she feels strongly about continuing to fi ght for our city and all communities in the riding. The protection of jobs particularly in the public service needs to be a priority and she again promised to ensure home delivery of mail is con-tinued. She will continue to oppose the buyout of Canadian companies by foreign enterprises and is most particularly proud of the work she has had the opportunity to do with First Nations in improv-ing the “3rd world living conditions” many of their communities still endure. An inquiry into the 1,200 missing and murdered Indigenous women must occur.

Nikki said this cam-paign is about change – a change from the previous Conservative and Liberal governments and the time has never been better for the N.D.P. to form the next government.

The offi cial part of the ceremony ended with the large crowd gathered in-vited to share lunch and tour the offi ces.

NATION, MB – Sheila North Wilson was elected as Grand Chief of the Manitoba Keewa-tinowi Okimakanak during the 34th MKO Annual Gen-eral Assembly being held this week at the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation. The Chiefs and Councillors elected the MKO Grand Chief in two ballots.

“I am deeply honoured and humbled that I was called to run for such an important role during this most critical time in our his-tory,” said Grand Chief North Wilson. “To be selected by the Chiefs and Councillors of the 30 MKO First Nations to serve as the fi rst female Grand Chief is a high calling and I do not take it lightly. I

thank each and every leader and person who has guided and supported me in my campaign”, added the MKO Grand Chief.

“I also acknowledge and thank former MKO Grand Chief David Harper for all of the work and commitment to the organization, lead-ers and people in northern Manitoba,”added the MKO Grand Chief while acknow-ledging all of the candidates for MKO Grand Chief.

Grand Chief North Wilson continued, “we have a lot of work to do yet and I am looking forward to the chal-lenge.”

Grand Chief North Wilson’s election was immediately fol-lowed by a taking of the Oath of Offi ce. A traditional bless-

ing ceremony was conducted by Elders, with honour songs from the Dene Drummers from Lac Brochet and the White Wolf Medicine People of Nisichawayasihk.

The MKO election rules state that a successful candi-date must have a simple ma-jority of the votes cast. There were 132 total votes cast in the second ballot, for a ne-cessary majority of 67 votes. Grand Chief North Wilson was elected with 74 votes.

Other candidates seeking the position of MKO Grand Chief were Tyler Duncan of the Norway House Cree Na-tion, David G. Harper of the Garden Hill First Nation and William Elvis Thomas of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Na-tion.
