The man who came up with the idea couldn’t be there but there’s no doubt Red Sangster’s celebration of life at the ballpark that bears his name would have been just the kind of party he would have loved – beer, a barbecue and swapping stories about sports and the old days.

Party guests included everyone from his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to his former recreation department col-league Mary Fenske, whose name is on the boardroom in-side the Thompson Regional Community Centre, to Keith Nesbitt, the son of arena namesake and former Local Government District of Mys-tery Lake resident adminis-trator Carl Nesbitt, who made the trip all the way from Al-berta to pay his respects.

“Red and I worked togeth-er for many, many years building a foundation for re-creation,” said Mary Fenske – mother of Mayor Dennis Fenske – who now lives in Brandon. “He always had my back and I like to think

that he knew I had his. Many were the politics that were involved but the recreation facilities and the department you have today are the re-sult of one man’s passion and determination and that one man is Red Sangster.”

The mayor recalled an in-cident from his youth that illustrated Red’s mischievi-ous side.

“Red decided that my hair was a little long so he marched me down to the Hawks dressing room with Suds and Willie and they pro-ceeded to shave my head,” said Dennis Fenske. “Well, I came back to my mom who was in the offi ce, just spittin’ mad they’d shaved my head. I couldn’t say enough about Red so I went outside and I found his car and I found a screwdriver and I stuck the screwdriver in the tire. Never admitted it but I think he knew it was me.”

Several long-time resi-dents of Thompson, two of whom are still in the city today, recalled how it was Red offering them a chance to play baseball that brought them to Thompson and how he treated them like family

once they got here.Ron Mymko, who came to

Thompson from Flin Flon to play senior hockey with the Hawks recalled a surprise visit his family received after buying their home.

“Unbeknownst to us there was a knock at the door. It was Christmas time, Christ-mas Eve,” said Mymko. “It’s Santa Claus. Red’s dressed up as Santa Claus. To see Santa Claus in the mall or the plaza’s OK, but man, having him come to your house?”

Alex Sutherland, who Red recruited to play baseball in Thompson and who went on to become Thompson’s recreation superintendent, shared a story of how Red got his revenge on another resident who always parked his car in front of the doors that the Zamboni came out.

“We mixed up a batch of blue ice paint and painted the car,” said Sutherland. “Later that night the local RCMP show up at the dance looking for Red and of course Red denies having anything to do with it. He had to fi nd a way to convince the RCMP that it was very easy to fi x and we’d get it cleaned up.”

Also mentioned often was Red’s love of beer and his insistence that anyone he knew partronize Molson, the company he was a sales representative for.

“This one particular day there I was over at the Trap-per’s and I bought a case of beer,” said celebration emcee Bruce Cameron. “I walked out and ran right into Red right there on the threshold of the doorway at the Trap-per’s. And Red looked at me and I looked at him and his eyes shot down at that case of beer. And it was then I realized I had a case of La-batt’s there.”

Rather than incur the wrath of Sangster, Cam-eron turned around and exchanged it for a case of Molson but says Red never let him live it down.

But while Red was a sports icon to many, to a smaller group he was even more special.

“My great-grandpa’s life will always be remembered for what he was to all of you and to us kids my great grandpa was the man that had unconditional love and unpretentiousness for every-

one around him,” said his great-granddaughter Payton Redman. “He was always there to help and give and ad-vise whether we needed it or not. He was defi nitely a very unique and funny character and one that always brought a smile to our faces. There wasn’t a day that went by that he didn’t put a smile on our faces and for that we’ll always cherish the joy and laughter he brought into our lives.”

The last of the speak-ers was Sangster’s daugh-ter Brenda Redman, who thanked everybody in at-tendance while fl anked by her sister Sandra and her brother Jack.

“We’re overwhelmed at the response today,” said Brenda Redman, though the family wasn’t surprised because they knew how many lives were touched by Red and his wife Mary during their dec-ades of living in Thompson. “We’ve had overwhelming response to people wanting to give to this.”

Red Sangster died Jan 20, 2015 at the age of 90 after having lived in Thompson for more than 50 years.

OBITUARY

CLEO KIRKWOODMay 12, 1938 – July 1, 2015

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mom. Mom leaves to mourn her passing sons, Robert & Chris (Maria), daughters Mary, Becky (Darcy), Laurie & Katey (Joe). Her grandchildren and great grandchildren miss her dearly. She also sadly leaves her brother Stuart and Honey.

Death Is Nothing At All

Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no false air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well.

A Funeral Service was held on Monday, July 6th at 1pm at the St. Lawrence Roman Catholic Church with Father Guna of ciating. Interment followed at the Thompson Cemetery.

Thompson’s quest for the elusive fi fth bloom will not be fulfi lled this year as the local Communities in Bloom committee has opted to take a year off to refocus and replenish its ranks before re-entering the contest in 2016.

“We’re not going to formally par-ticipate in Communities in Bloom,” said City of Thompson recreation director John Burrows July 3.

The decision came as a result of the committee losing a number of key members, he said. The goal is to make the local Communities in Bloom committee a community-run entity and meetings to organize for next year will start taking place in September.

“We need community help to make it an ongoing success,” Burrows said. “It takes a lot of people to make sure

it comes off smoothly.”The decision not to participate

doesn’t mean the recreation, parks and culture department won’t do its part to spruce up the city this sum-mer, though.

“We’ll continue to do our plant-ings around town,” said Burrows, who encourages everyone who has beautifi ed their yard in the past to continue doing so, though there won’t be any yard of the week prizes and Communities in Bloom judges won’t be visiting and grading Thompson this summer.

Participating communities are scored on a scale of one to fi ve blooms; Thompson scored three blooms in its fi rst two years in 2010 and 2011 and received four blooms in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Communities are judged based on a series of criteria includ-ing tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry,

landscape, turf and groundcovers, fl oral displays, and community in-volvement.

Established with the guidance of Britain in Bloom, Tidy Towns of Ire-land and Villes et Villages Fleuris de France, Communities in Bloom held its fi rst competition in 1995 and 29 participating municipalities were hon-oured at the fi rst awards ceremonies.

As participation increased, provin-cial editions were developed requiring communities to qualify for national competition. Manitoba has been in-volved with Communities in Bloom since 1999.

Nationally, the program now in-cludes more than 500 communities across the country and an inter-national challenge involving com-munities from the United States, Japan and several European coun-tries allows participants to compete internationally.


Extra forest firefight-ers have been brought in from out of the province and south of the border to supplement fi refi ghting crews battling blazes in Manitoba’s northwest and northeast regions.

Gary Friesen, Manitoba Conservation’s wildfire program manager, told the Thompson Citizen that 42 forest fi refi ghters from Quebec have been deployed to The Pas and 27 from Wisconsin to Thompson to help fi ght fi res in Northern Manitoba.

As of July 6, there were 37 fi res burning in the northeast region and 12 in the northwest region, with 14 in the northeast and 11 in the northwest classifi ed as actioned, 13 in the northeast and one in the northwest as lim-ited actioned, and 10 in the northeast region clas-sifi ed as no action. One fi re in the northeast and three in the northwest were out of control. There were 141

fi refi ghters, 10 helicopters, six waterbombers and six other aircraft deployed in the northeast region, with 134 fi refi ghters, 14 helicop-ters, two waterbombers and two other aircraft deployed in the northwest. To date there have been 125 fi res in the northeast, 75 caused by lightning and 50 by people, and 41 in the northwest, 29 caused by lightning and 12 caused by people. The province has had 289 fi res overall this year and there were 61 burning on July 6, with 29 helicopters, 10 waterbombers and 323 extra fi refi ghters battling those blazes.

Manitoba is part of the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFCC) which enables provincial, territorial and federal fi re-fi ghting agencies to share resources based on their respective fi re situations, and also a member of the Great Lakes Forest Fire Compact (GLFCC), which co-ordinates resource shar-ing among its members.

A lack of rainfall has en-

abled new fi res to pop up from lightning strikes since late June, says Friesen, though scattered rainfall has occurred, but often in conjunction with lightning strikes that start more fi res.

“We welcome the pre-cipitation that we have re-ceived,” Friesen says as it raises the humidity levels.

Crews and equipment are battling fi res in the David-son Lake, Moose Lake, Katimik Lake, Lynn Lake, Setting Lake and Little Grand Rapids areas.

“This year we’ve had fi res all the way from the north-west down to Little Grand Rapids-Atikaki [Provincial Wilderness Park],” said Friesen. “We’ve had fi res everywhere, which is kind of unusual.”

Manitoba has already surpassed last year’s total of 245 wildfi res and seems likely to pass the mark of 315 in 2011. There were 494 in 2013 and 497 in 2012. About half or more of the wildfi res in the past fi ve years have been caused by lightning.

Outside help is necessary when crews are battling fi res in so many areas at the same time.

“We have to go every-where,” says Friesen and forest fi refi ghters are called on to ensure fi res don’t threaten communities in their areas. “We want to make sure we protect com-munities, life and property.”

Ideally, the hope is to ex-tinguish fi res before they become diffi cult to manage.

“If you can successfully initial attack a fi re when it’s small and doesn’t turn out to be a big monster, that’s the way to go,” Friesen says.

The fi res in Manitoba combined with those in Saskatchewan have brought air quality warn-ings to much of the prov-ince, including Thompson and the surrounding area. Environment Canada said Julyu 6 that more smoke was expected to drift into Northern Manitoba by evening, with improvement in air quality and visibility expected on Tuesday.

Having forest fi res everywhere in the province unusual, says fi re program manager

It’s been a long time coming, but the Paint Lake Fire Hall has now been expanded, so all trucks can fi t inside.

The hall used to be a small 200-by-200-foot room that fi t an old City of Thompson ambulance, which was converted into a command vehicle, as well as another truck that was do-nated from Kelsey Generating Station and Manitoba Hydro.

One member of the department said that having those two trucks in one room was not easy.

In 2012 the hall received another truck that sat outside drained for two years because there was no space for

it. The truck that sat outside was the most capable truck out of the three.

The volunteer fire department hasn’t had it easy with fi nding fund-ing and money for the hall expan-sion. The majority of funds have come through fundraising events like raffl es and wild boar roasts. The Paint Lake Volunteer Fire Department kicked in an additional $7,000 for the construction of the original building from their savings.

For the large building expansion a bank loan had to be obtained and each road-accessible cottager will be charged an annual fee, which will go to the repayment of the loan.

One long time fi refi ghter, who

would rather not be named, says the new building was needed. “This expansion gives us faster response times, a better training area, we’re not having to meet in someone’s home with our snowy boots. We don’t have to worry about our equipment freez-ing up.”

On June 28 the department hosted a grand reopening of the hall, with a barbecue, as well as a tour of the new building.

The original hall will be used for fi refi ghter meetings, training, and could potentially be used to rent out. The volunteers are now looking ahead at replacing the truck from Kelsey Dam in the near future.

Local Viewpoint

Stepping back from

Communities in

Bloom not necessarily

a backwards step

To say that it’s a shame that Thompson won’t be taking part in Manitoba’s Communities in Bloom competition this summer is probably overstating

things a bit, but it’s obviously less than ideal for those who think participating is a worthwhile endeavour.

The city has been part of the competition since 2010, earning three of a possible fi ve blooms that year and the following year, before upping their game to four-bloom status in 2012, 2013 and last year.

Still, they say in economics that people vote with their pocketbooks, so in the case of volunteer-led initiatives like this, one could argue that they vote with their volun-teer hours. Or lack of them, more specifi cally.

Thompson’s Communities in Bloom committee has never been a truly grassroots affair, as its activities have been overseen and guided with administrative help from the Thompson Downtown Revitalization Committee (TDRC) – and by extension Thompson Unlimited – in the fi rst two years of the city’s participation and from city employees over the last few years.

While the committee hasn’t been able to recruit enough people to make it seem like participation in the friendly competition would be feasible this year, it hasn’t been for a lack of trying. City council’s representative on the com-mittee said in 2012 that the TDRC had laid the ground-work for others to pick up the ball and run with it. The following year, committee chair and councillor Penny Byer said that the judges who evaluated the city said Thompson needed more community involvement and a larger team.

Evidently those calls have not been suffi ciently heeded, as the withdrawal of a few committee members prompted the decision to pull the plug on participation this year.

The danger when any organization takes a hiatus is that it will end up being permanent. As diffi cult as it is to keep something going, it can be even harder to start it back up again once it’s become inactive. That’s not a criticism of the committee members who decided that they couldn’t push forward shorthanded this year. Only the people involved can judge whether they have the energy and inclination to put forth their best effort, and there is some merit to the argument that if you aren’t able to do the best job possible, it may be wiser to step back and re-energize rather than exert the effort only to end up taking a step backward.

Next year, however, will be the time for volunteers to vote with their free time. If having Thompson be part of the Communities in Bloom competition is something that enough people value, they’ll need to demonstrate it through action rather than words. If it isn’t that import-ant to enough people, that’s OK, too. Thompsonites who love gardening and landscaping and beautifying their homes and businesses aren’t doing it for the glory, any more than those who don’t litter are motivated by any-thing other than their desire to live in a clean commun-ity. In the long run, it isn’t about how many blooms you have or how many you don’t. Community pride comes from within and the people who’ve helped Thompson earn the recognition it has in the Communities in Bloom competition these past fi ve years deserve a pat on the back for their efforts no matter what happens next year.

Are grocery stores reducing food waste?

In May France passed a new law that makes it illegal to

throw away food from a supermarket that is still safe to eat. The edible food must be given to charities, or farmers, who can then use the food for animal feed and/or com-post.

Stores with over 4,305 square feet have until the end of next July to sign agreement with different charities or they will face hefty fi nes.

All over the world it’s been a topic of discussion on why grocery stores will get rid of perfectly good food, and not better the city or community and help out others instead of the food just going into the bin.

Dumpster diving for food has become a way of life for many people, as they know there could be fresh food. There have even been documentaries about people in New York living off dumpster food for multiple years.

With the new law pass-ing in France, I am curi-ous to see what Canada

would do with the news. Will Canada travel the same path and pass a law, or will they continue to dump food in a dumpster, and watch starving people climb in to grab an apple or a head of lettuce?

Safeway in Thompson says reducing food waste is a priority, and the com-pany is always trying to fi nd new ways to reduce the food waste in their stores. The Thompson store receives daily de-liveries to help avoid the need to carry more than needed inventory on per-ishable products, and dis-play cases in the bakery and deli area is built to store less inventory.

Almost every Safeway store has a partnership

with a local food bank who will pick up perish-able product donations like bread that are not purchased by customers. Products close to their ex-piry date are also price re-duced, and if not sold are donations to food banks and soup kitchens.

On average food banks pick up 4-6 times a week at Safeway stores, and annually Safeway donates over $10 million in kind to food banks.

However, the majority of food waste happens in a home, but 11 per cent does happen at the gro-cery store level.

Although neither the province, nor the country has passed a law for food reduction and waste, the efforts at major grocery chains show that they’re taking measures into their own hands, and helping out the citizens that need the food instead of wast-ing it all.

To the Editor:

“Feeling a part of.” Do we feel a part of something today? The power of “feeling a part of” is what life is about. We become interconnected at exciting levels in our lives daily. There are many external forces that keep us separated like jobs, egos, pride or not feeling adequate that keep us not feeling a part of. A smile or having compassion for others with an open mind can connect each time. “Feeling a part of” can be connected more than once so why not try one more time?

Marijuana, cocaine and cash were seized from an Eastwood residence by police July 4.

Thompson RCMP exe-cuted a search warrant and found 350 grams of marijuana, approximately 10 grams of cocaine and cash.

Three men have been charged with possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking and pos-session of the proceeds of crime. They were re-leased from custody and are scheduled to appear in court Oct. 9.


Charges have been laid against a bar bouncer whose actions were captured on a video that was shared more than 1,000 times and made its way around Thompson-based social media forums and onto CBC news.

Thompson RCMP arrested a 21 year-old male June 30 and charged him with two counts of assault and one count of uttering threats. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Thompson on Aug. 28.

The video, captured by a female by-stander on June 24, shows a bar security

guard from the Regal Beagle pub, which is in the Burntwood Hotel, dragging out a customer who was also punched and choked.

Staff Sgt. Kevin Lewis with the Thomp-son RCMP said before charges were laid that the video prompted police to launch an investigation. They obtained an hour-and-a-half of additional video footage from the hotel.

Bill Peacock, with the Burntwood Hotel, said that the bouncer shown in the video has been let go. “He was terminated after we found out more about the incident. Based on what we know we terminated him.”

Pat Pegus, a teacher at Juniper School, set up a writing symposium on June 18, with books students in Juniper Ele-mentary School wrote. Nine of the 14 classes took part, with each class having different themes for their books.

The books were then attached to hard cov-ers that were shipped in from the United States, and the youth had the

chance to illustrate the book as well as the front cover.

Keyanna Nowl in , a Grade 6 student, fi nished her book about a You-tube star, and how his life changed, and how he became the person he is today. Nowlin had the chance to see the final product during the sym-posium. “It feels pretty nice to have my thoughts into an actual book. I was excited and I thought it was fun that we got to

write our own book.”Pegus noted that back

in the 1980s students used to do th i s , and she had a student ask if something like that could happen like that for them, so she made it happen. 151 books were printed, and Pegus hopes that these can become a nice keepsake for the students and their fam-ilies.

Each author received a participation certifi cate and a bookmark.

Debate on a resolution to approve the waste disposal grounds trans-fer agreement between the Local Government District (LGD) of Mys-tery Lake and the City of Thompson during the June 22 council meet-ing generated some heat from city councillors.

Coun. Ron Matechuk m o v e d t o t a b l e t h e resolution, and Coun. Duncan Wong seconded his motion. “There are still some unanswered questions, what I would l ike to see myself for this information to be on the agenda, I would

l ike to see tha t wi th the ‘56 agreement, the ‘66 amendment, as well as the new regulations coming into play go to public works and infra-st ructure ,” Matechuk explained.

The motion to table the resolution was defeated, even though Coun. Col-leen Smook abstained from the vote, stating she was on the fence and could see both sides.

The resolution states that the closing date of the agreement would be on July 31, with the city taking over partial acceptance of liabilities from the closing date on, with the province of

Manitoba assuming the liabilities prior to July 31.

Coun. Kathy Valentino commented she would be supporting the reso-lution. “For me I l ike that they’ve done that 30-year master plan, so there’s a 30-year plan in place for this, and the viability of this, and how it’s outlined, for that I see there is no problem with me supporting this tonight.”

This agreement is part of of the amalgamation of the City of Thompson and the LGD.

I n t h e e n d c o u n i l passed the resolution unanimously.


Thompson Unlimited has fi ve new board mem-bers , whose appoint-ments were approved during council’s June 22 meeting.

R a n d y M c K a y w a s named as chairperson, while Curtis Ross, Robert Johnston, Glen Kristjan-son and Brock Weir were also named to the board. The new members will be on a three-year term, with council representa-tive Coun. Judy Kolada

on a one-year term.Although the resolu-

tion was carried, Kolada and Coun. Duncan Wong both abstained from the vote. “ I think ideal ly we should have been provided with the biog-raphies of those applying and council should have voted on the members o f t h e boa r d , bu t a t very minimum it should have been discussed at a committee,” Kolada explained, with Wong agreeing.

Coun. Kathy Valen-

t ino noted that more people applied for the board than needed. “So any problems to be had are good problems, and I look forward to this Thompson Un l imi t ed board, and maybe the excess people who ap-plied can be used in some way.”

Coun. Dennis Foley was impressed with the names brought forward, and said he was look-ing forward to the pro-gressive changes to the board.

ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions. A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field – operating in the same environment it’s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field.

This summer, such a place will exist. Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canada’s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, it’s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as “ride and drives” and smaller equipment demos.

“Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,” says Show Director Rob O’Connor. “There’s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.”

What does an outdoor show look like?The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, the country’s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows what’s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides.

Now in its 22nd year, Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business – make decisions – and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace.

To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca.

Live Demos and Interactive ExhibitsThe number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

Ag in Motion brings innovation to the field


During the annual gen-eral meeting for the Can-adian Mental Health As-sociation (CMHA), Helga Bryant, CEO of the North-ern Regional Health Au-thority (NRHA), spoke about the past year, and about the review of pro-gramming that took place a year ago between the two entities.

The review took a look at the clubhouse, the transitional housing, and the Hope House. “The review talked about re-working three service purchase agreements, that previously existed in one document with

the three different com-ponents, and the review talked about sorting that out, and making three distinct programs, with the accompanying fund-ing to allocate to them, and to have the account-abilities around the pro-gram deliver the mon-itoring, to have that be clear,” Bryant explained.

Since the review a completed implementa-tion plan has been re-leased, and three new service purchase agree-ments have been cre-ated, which were signed on June 25.

The new agreements will see changes that in-clude enhancing the Club

house Connections and the transitional hous-ing, as well as intro-ducing a new program called psycho-social rehab. “It’s a program that provides consumers with skills that enrich their quality of life, and empower them towards self-management, as well as facilitating the development of a self-determined meaningful life,” stated Bryant.

The two organizations will be partnering with CMHA in Winnipeg, who have experience in the program. CMHA will be trained on how to de-liver the rehab program this fall.

Four students from Thompson took part in MUNA, Winnipeg Model United Nations As-

sembly from April 30-May 2. During the assembly students represented different coun-

tries, and spoke on different topics. This year there was four resolutions; the confl icts in

Iraq and Syria, nuclear weapons, Ebola, and creating a new international economic order.

The four students Mike Hatley, Gabrielle Larocque, Hannah Murdy and Evan Forest trav-

eled to Winnipeg under the sponsorship of the Winnipeg Rotary Club.

Students discuss world issues

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY [email protected]

Three fi refi ghters from Thompson Fire & Emer-gency Services travelled to Calgary, Alberta on June 20 to compete in the Scott Firefi t Champion-ships for the Southern Prairie Region.

During the competi-tion, Darrick Graff com-peted in the men’s open and fi nished the course with a time of 1:26, mak-ing him fi fth overall. Kei-th Burak fi nished with a time of 2:36, and that gave him fourth overall in the over 50 category, and the fi nal Thompson competitor Eric Olafson fi nished in 2:14.

Graff has been compet-ing in these competitions

for the past four years, and says the two-minute mark is a good one to hit on your fi rst time. The current record right now is 1:15 on the Canadian course.

Firefi ghters gear up with their normal fi re gear, as well as an air pack, and complete an obstacle course that in-volves job-related skills. These include carrying a 45-pound hose up six fl ights of stairs, hoisting another 45-pound hose up to the top of the build-ing, and then travelling down the stairs again.

There’s then a for-cible entry simulator that simulates chop-ping through a roof. The fi refi ghters take a

nine-pound sledgeham-mer, and have to move a beam. After the beam is moved the partici-pants do a hydrant run on a 140 serpentine, and then a fully charged hose line advance for 75 feet. The course fi nishes with a 175-lb Rescue Randy backwards-dummy drag for 100 feet.

Burak and Olafson have both mentioned at-tending nationals this year, and Graff will be traveling to Alabama in October to compete in worlds.

This year Thomp-son fi refi ghters had the chance to attend the championships through fundraising efforts as well as local sponsors.

New bar opens in Thompson


Kathy Cruz, left, is the food and beverage manager for Pub 55. Jennifer Wilson, right, is the general manager. The new

restaurant opened earlier this month in Thompson.


There’s a new bar in Thompson called Pub 55. The locally owned and operated restaurant is fully licensed, with all their wines being unlisted, with a lunch menu and a full menu after 4 p.m. Children are welcome in the estab-lishment until 8 p.m. but there isn’t a children’s menu.The restaurant opened June 10.


This past March there was a point-in-time count of the homeless people in Thompson. The com-munity advisory board for homelessness came together with the Uni-versity of Manitoba (UM) to do the count, which included verbal consent from individuals, and a short survey.

The count took place on March 4 and 126 in-dividuals were considered homeless, though 229 people were approached by volunteers, who may

have approached the same person multiple times.

Just over 37 per cent of the participants were counted on the street, and 62.7 per cent were stay-ing in transitional facili-ties like 95 Cree Road or the YWCA. Fifty-seven per cent were identifi ed as males and 42.9 per cent as females. Colin Bonny-castle with UM says these gender statistics follow through with national statistics.

The mean age for home-less individuals was 42, and the majority werebe-

tween 35-55 years of age. Almpst 95 per cent identi-fi ed themselves as aborig-inal, and 41.2 per cent said they were chronically homeless, which means they’ve been homeless for six months or more in the past year.

Thirty individuals stat-ed they were homeless in another community, with 67 people saying they came from another community here, and 38 people were born and raised in Thompson.

The homeless count was presented to city council on June 22 by

John Donovan, the chair-person for community ad-vistory board for home-lessness, and Marleny Bonnycastle and Colin Bonnycastle from UM.

Council members were impressed with how easy the report was to under-stand. Coun. Blake Ellis noted that the report’s fi ndings speak to the work the City of Thomp-son is doing with the downtown strategy, and the need for expansion of the housing fi rst model.

Deputy mayor Penny Byer wanted to know where this information

would go, and when an-other count will be held. Donovan explained that there would be a national count happening this up-coming year, potentially in January, and Thomp-son will be taking part in that, since the federal government is funding the count.

The biggest thing though, Donovan says, is the need for housing, and to get these people off the streets, as per capita Thompson has one of the highest homeless popula-tion rates in Canada. “We can keep counting, but

we have to do something with these folks day to day. We know who they are. We have no housing. We need to get access to apartments. We’ve got the mentors, we have support for rental subsidies, we’ve got a moving crew, and we need an opportunity to place these people into some housing.”

Out of the 126 inter-viewed homeless individ-uals 91.3, or 115 people declared their desire for permanent housing, and 88, or 70.4 per cent were interested in referral.

Manitoba Government Employees Union (MGEU) members at University Col-lege of the North (UCN) have voted to accept a new four-year contract offer, the MGEU reported on its web-site June 24.

Members of MGEU Lo-

cals 69 and 70 held ratifi -cation votes in Thompson on June 10 and on June 15 in The Pas. The votes were counted June 24 and the of-fer was accepted.

The four-year agreement includes a two per cent wage increase in each year of the agreement, and two un-paid half-days off in 2016

and 2017. Paid parking for employees will not begin until 2017 at a lower rate than originally proposed and there are also increase to vision and drug benefi ts and the health spending account, and changes to language regarding family-related leave.

The previous contract

expired March 31, 2014 and a previous tentative agreement, reached after 22 bargaining sessions, was rejected by members last Dec. 23. The bar-gaining process began in January 2014.

MGEU Locals 69 and 70 represent approximately 275 UCN employees.

Diversity a theme in Canada Day celebrations


Performers and politicians paid tribute to Canada’s multicultural nature during Canada Day celebrations at the Thompson Regional Community Centre July 1.

“From First Nations to Métis, Inuit people through to the latest immigrants, we here in Thompson refl ect that divers-ity,” said Thompson MLA Steve Ashton. “I always say if you want the heart and soul of Canada, it’s right here in Northern Manitoba. So I’d like to ask if we can all do one thing today, is to remember what Canada’s all about. We’re making history, we’re building a better Canada day by day and we’re building it together.”

“Northern Manitoba, our communities here in the north, are a model in terms of what we can be and I think that that respect for diversity, understanding the indigenous roots of our region, First Nations, Métis, and respecting multiculturalism and people who have come across from around the world, is such a big part of who we are here and is a big part of who we are across the country and those values are very import-ant in terms of continuing to build a better country because as good as we are in so many things, the reality is that we can do better,” said Churchill MP Niki Ashton. “So today we commit to building better communities, building a better country and let’s begin by celebrating who we are.”

Mayor Dennis Fenske paid tribute to Canada’s women’s national soccer team and their performance at the FIFA Women’s World Cup and also to all the people who

gave up some or all of their Canada Day holiday to ensure that the celebrations ran smoothly.

“I want to, on behalf of the City of Thompson and city council, grant our ap-preciation for all the volunteers and staff that made this event happen today,” said Fenske. “I’m always proud to be a Can-adian but especially on a day like today when we celebrate Canada’s birthday.”

Ryan Land, corporate affairs and organ-izational development manager for Vale’s Manitoba Operations, which sponsored the Canada Day performances at the arena, acknowledged Nisichawayasihk Cree Na-tion, within whose traditional territory Thompson lies, and reminded attendees that safety isn’t just a consideration in the workplace.

“As you make your plans for the summer and for the little people in your lives, many of whom are in the room today, please think about the personal protective equip-ment that you have that can keep children safe, things as simple as sunscreen but also life preservers and equipment in boats to make sure if there’s an accident that you’re prepared,” said Land.

Performers at the Canada Day celebra-tions included kids band the Fun-Key Ducks, Summer Bear Dance Troupe, the India School of Dance, Music and Theatre, Inc., Bola Oriyomi and the Afrika Dancers and Clyde Heerah and the Paradize Band, as well as the Tawipisim School of Ab-original Dance and Music. The festivities were capped off with a fi reworks display at 11 p.m.
