Wal-Mart’s Thomp-son store manager Kris Burky helped make sure Wapanohk Community School students ate the most important meal of the day when he stopped by to man the cereal station for the school’s breakfast program March 11.

Burky’s participation was part of a three-week national campaign by Wal-Mart to solicit dona-tions for the Breakfast Club of Canada, which funds breakfast programs at 1,328 schools, includ-ing Wapanohk, that col-lectively feed 152,000 children.

Wal-Mart’s national goal was to raise $3 million, while the local store was

shooting to raise $4,600 by selling $1 bookmarks at the till.

The Wal-Mart cam-paign, which began Feb. 19 and wrapped up March 13, is the Breakfast Club of Canada’s biggest fund-raiser of the year. Wal-Mart will also match do-nations made via www.helpthemshine.ca to a maximum of $790,000.

Johanna Petrowski from Wapanohk says the school’s breakfast pro-gram has been running for over 10 years now and has been funded by the Breakfast Club of Canada for the past few years.

School staff and vol-unteers also help serve breakfast to students every morning that school is in session, with fi re-

fi ghter-paramedics pitch-ing in every Friday.

“We feed an average of

50 to 80 kids per day,” says Petrowski, noting that some of the food

they serve is prepared by Wapanohk’s after-school cooking club.

Grade 7 students in Thompson are building and riding sleds as part of their science curriculum.

Alyssa Harman, northern in-school program offi cer with Skills Canada Mani-toba, is travelling to the dif-ferent schools and teaching the kids about the trades in-dustry. “It’s to promote the skill trades and the specifi c sections would be design re-search, aerodynamics, team worker, problem solving, leadership.”

The students are put into groups of four, and each group has to design and build a sled that will hold the weight of two of their teammates. “They are given one sheet of 4x8 cardboard, two six-foot 2x4s, one 20-foot length of rope, contact cement, duct tape, and a stap-ler and they have to build a

sled that will pull two of their teammates through a track outside in the snow.”

On March 11, Harman was at Westwood School. Wendy Mercer, the Grade 7 teacher, says it fi ts in with their cur-rent science unit. “In the Grade 7 science curriculum one of the units is structure

and forces, so it actually ties in perfectly. How they’re as-sessed for their provincial re-port cards, they’re assessed in three ways. Knowledge and understanding, inquiry, and design process. So it’s pretty full circle.”

By 2020 Canada is going to be short a million trades

workers, Harman says. “We’re trying to start young, there’s a huge push from the government to attract our youth to the future of the trades.”

Each team builds their sleds in the morning with no help from any adults or teachers, and races take

place in the afternoon. Ashley Morgan, one of the students at Westwood School, said she enjoyed the lesson. “It was boring at fi rst, but after awhile I got used to it and it was really fun. I hope to work with all my friends and I had a good experience doing this because most classes are just in a classroom.”

Sleds were judged on creativity, originality of team name, and structure. Two teams raced outside at a time, on a track Harman put together, with the fastest sled at each school winning a small prize.

Mercer says she noticed hands-on activities like this help students learn better. “We’ve been trying with sci-ence to add more materials so they can do more hands on. They like that, and when they’re doing something, the process and the visual pro-cess they remember. So any-

time they do hands-on they retain information better.”

Harman agreed, saying it teaches them school infor-mation, along with the stu-dents learning what a job in the trade industry would be like. “They get to participate in the design, writing, all of the essential skills which are important, so they’re discov-ering if they like working with their hands or like the design piece, and it shows maybe at the grassroots level, maybe trades are the thing to do.”

After the race at Westwood, one student said they would have changed things around, by placing the wood runners differently, and having a cardboard windshield so the snow didn’t get in their faces.

Harman joined Deerwood School on March 13, River-side school will build sleds on March 20, and Wapanohk will be the last to go extreme sledding on March 27.

Four Grade 11 students will be travelling to the University of Manitoba to take part in the Verna J. Kirkness Science and En-gineering Program this June. The program is a registered Canadian char-ity founded in 2009 with the goal of increasing the number First Nations, Métis, Inuit students in Canadian universities ma-joring in science and en-gineering.

The four students going are Kelsey Carriere, Victoria Hickes, Brandon Nowlin and Thomas Nowlin. “It’s just basically spending the week in classes depending what you choose,” ex-plained Carriere.

The Nowlin brothers found out about this oppor-tunity through their pre-calculus teacher, and both girls found out through their biology teacher Nicole Harwood.

Hickes says this oppor-tunity is a step in the right direction because it will look good on a resume, and may even help getting a job. Hickes added that “it’s understanding what university is like before actually having to be there, and deciding if we do want to go, which I am sure we will.”

During the applica-tion process, the students picked what they wanted to study for the week-long

program, although a spot is not guaranteed. Thomas was accepted to the Depart-ment of Microbiology. “I took it because it’s the only thing that has a chemistry-based focus. The others are bio, math, physics, stuff like that.” Thomas hopes to have a career in the chemistry fi eld, although he’s not sure exactly what that career will be just yet.

His brother Brandon wants to become a video game programmer. He’s been accepted into the Department of Mechan-ical Engineering. “Since the mechanical engineer-ing thing is very physics-based it was the closest to it. It’s talking about robots, physics principles, pro-gramming.”

Both Carriere and Hickes

applied to be in kinesiol-ogy. Hickes, who hopes to become a nurse one day, was accepted. “It will help prepare me.”

Carriere also hoped to study the body for the week, but instead will be studying bugs, as she has been placed in entomology. “It turns out there were too many people that were placed in the kinesiology group, so people had to be moved and I was one of them,” Carriere said.

Although it wasn’t her

top pick, she’s still excited. “I’m still looking forward to it. I mean, I’m not a big bug person, but it is what it is, and it could help me. It’s still something science-based, and it’s an experi-ence regardless. I’m look-ing forward to it.”

The four Thompson-ites travelling to Winnipeg won’t even have to spend a dime. The program is paid in full for them, including fl ights, dorms and food.

The program takes place from June 1-5.

I care about who’s next, but do we all?

Holistic approach

to retaining

medical doctors in

rural communities

In my own

words: unknown

journeys

To the Editor:

I am writing in connection with your article “Medical students get a taste of rural and northern practice.” We need to consider more holistic approaches in attracting doctors to rural regions. Policies using only fi nancial incentives or “mandatory fi eld trips to the north” to attract MDs have failed to make an impact. Statistics Canada indicates that the majority of medical students who receive loan remissions as an incentive for work-ing in rural regions choose to leave at the end of their contract. In addition, international doctors who arrive in Canada that are required to fi ll a quota in rural regions tend to migrate out of rural communities after obtaining their full licence. These past strategies only encourage a “revolving door” of physicians, coming and going, but never settling – a Band-Aid fi x as opposed to a stable solution. What makes doctors stay? Research shows that applicants to medical schools who come from a rural background are more likely to practice in rural set-tings after graduation. This could be due to a number of reasons that extend beyond purely fi nancial or licens-ing incentives such as being near a supportive family, returning to their community of origin, and the familiar-ity of rural culture. Therefore, one solution to the rural doctor shortage is to encourage the younger generation of rural communities to pursue a career in medicine. We all deserve our most basic human right – equal access to healthcare, regardless of where we live.

To the Editor:

“Unknown Journeys.” If we live a path of no ob-stacle then probably it doesn’t lead us anywhere. We never know where our journey will take us. Our Higher Power does and wherever He leads us, He will be there for us. Sometimes we have to start our journey in the middle of nowhere and watch where the path will lead us. Adventures happen when we have no idea where we are going. Our lives have a circle filled with unknown journeys, which lead us down paths we never would imagine. Let’s keep life simple, rather than insisting on making every day complicated with unknown journeys.

BY SENATOR SANDRA LOVELACE NICHOLAS

Following the fi rst-ever national round table on missing and murdered in-digenous women, it is with a heavy heart that I am writing about this ongoing tragedy - a national epidem-ic of violence that persists in devastating ever more fam-ilies each year, prompting a growing number of aborig-inal women to ask: “Am I next?”

According to the RCMP, the tragedy has made about 1,200 victims, on- and off-reserves, between 1980 and 2012. A stark reality of poverty, unemployment and violence can be summar-ized in one disturbing fact: aboriginal women are fi ve times more likely to be mur-dered than non-aboriginal ones!

Action must be taken on several fronts: Justice – Support - Protection – Pre-vention. It must be cham-pioned at the community, municipal, provincial and federal levels.

While the renewed calls by premiers for a public inquiry are strong indica-tors of their commitment,

the federal government has been sending halfhearted signals. It speaks about ac-tion, but its so-called plan is nothing more than a laun-dry list of existing piece-meal initiatives - many of them a mere continuation of inadequate efforts not even specifi c to aboriginal women.

More troubling is the prime minister’s and his ministers’ view of this tra-gedy. They are not only dismissing calls for a public enquiry, but deny that this is a social phenomenon. For them, it is rather a ser-ies of isolated, family-based crimes that are best ad-dressed through police in-vestigations.

This approach is truly disturbing.

• Why do they persist in making the issue solely a First Nations one and in believing that the only valid solutions should focus on changing behaviours of ab-original men on reserves?

• Who believes there is no correlation between the crisis and generalized gender- and race-based dis-crimination, continued im-poverishment or economic

marginalization? • Rather than focusing

on police investigations, shouldn’t we be proactive and do something before people go missing?

• If everything is known about the issue, why is it continuing and why are 20 per cent of the cases still unsolved? We need to understand how to bring the perpetrators to justice, provide closure to the fam-ilies, and protect women from criminals walking free in their communities.

In a strongly worded re-port released this month, the UN expert committee on the Elimination of Violence against Women concluded that Canada was respon-sible for “grave violations” of human rights due its “protracted failure” to take suffi cient action to stop vio-lence against Indigenous women and girls.

As a direct result of this government’s inaction, we are now dealing with frus-trated aboriginal commun-ities that feel ignored. And, more importantly, we are no closer to ensuring that aboriginal women are treat-ed the same as any other

Canadian woman when it comes to being protected against violent crimes.

Is another one-day roundtable in 2016 really the solution to this horrifi c tragedy? I hope not!

The government needs to do much more. The condi-tions for a larger national conversation must be cre-ated to send a strong signal to aboriginal women that they are not “invisible.” A national inquiry would pro-vide an opportunity for a “foundational” look at the issue and form the basis for coordinated national action. Information, education and action need to go hand- in-hand to prevent this human crisis from persisting.

There is no alternative. Ignoring the calls of experts, organizations and citizens pleading for such conversa-tion is not only disrespectful but indicates - not only to aboriginal communities, but to all Canadians - that we are indeed indifferent as to “who is next!”

Senator Sandra Love-lace Nicholas is a Maliseet woman from Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick.

The Manitoba Human Rights Commission trav-elled to Thompson March 11-12 to hold rights ral-lies for Grade 8 students. One of the primary func-tions of the Manitoba Hu-man Rights Commission is to ensure that people in Manitoba know what their rights and responsibilities are under the code. “We’re here to provide education and we’ve talked to some employers with respect for their responsibilities in an employment setting under the code,” explained Pam Roberts, one of the pre-senters.

The Manitoba Human Rights Commission doesn’t usually travel to schools; schools usually travel to the commission for rallies and conferences. “What we’re loving about this trip up to Thompson is that thanks to the support of Mystery Lake school division we’re able to provide this edu-cation across all Grade 8 students. We’ve never hit an entire division like this,” Roberts says.

Juniper School hosted the rally on March 11 and other schools like Riverside School had the chance to take part. The Grade 8 students are taught about discrimination and harass-ment, Roberts said. “We did what we call fast facts. It’s

a quick overview of the code, which tells people what discrimination is and what harassment is. Most importantly it covers our 13 characteristics, because when we’re talking about discrimination and harass-ment it has to be related to things like ancestry, re-ligion or gender identity.”

After fast facts, the stu-dents were separated into

different groups. Rock held a session called “Let’s talk about it.”

“It deals with issues fa-cing youth that are gay, les-bian, transgender or bisex-ual. It talks about what that experience is like for youth in schools, and what kids can do to make life easier for those who are strug-gling with those issues.” Rock said.

He was impressed with the kids’ desire to learn. “They were really en-gaged. They had a lot of good ideas and were really willing to have the conver-sation. It was really great to see because it can be, with this age group, talk-ing about some of these issues and slightly contro-versial topics, these guys were excited, interested and

engaged.”When the event is over

hopefully children are still talking about what was learnt, Roberts says. “One, we want people to know what their rights are under the code, but the other thing we want people to take away is that they have a responsibility protecting the rights of other people around them, and that they

do have to be accountable in respect to their word choices and their behav-iours.”

Rock commended the students from Thompson because, in his eyes, they already knew a lot. “I was very impressed with the level of knowledge from the kids that we were talking to. I think this is a great model and we’re happy with how it’s been working so far, and based on feed-back this will be something that we can do regularly with other northern com-munities as well.”

Rock and Roberts also hosted a rights rally at Westwood School March 12. The two will now travel back down south to focus on their southern youth conferences that are held at the beginning of April. The same workshops that were held in Thompson will be held in the south, with different schools attending.

Roberts encouraged stu-dents to go home and speak to their parents about their rights. “I think from our perspective, if they’ve got a really good solid idea of what our protected charac-teristics are, and for them to be aware of their lan-guage, their word choices, and how their comments can impact other people, and what to do if they’re being harassed, we’ve done our job.”

This week is National Poison Prevention Week, and the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre is hoping to raise awareness about the dangers related to poi-soning.

Heather Hudson, an ad-vanced nursing practice educator with the Mani-toba Poison Centre, says 25 per cent of the centre’s calls are from adults un-intentionally poisoning themselves. “Those would be the calls that someone has either made a mistake with their medication or has made some kind of er-ror with a household prod-uct. They weren’t intend-ing to harm themselves, but have done something do be exposed to a poison-ous substance.”

When someone calls the poison centre they will be speaking with a registered nurse or pharmacist, who is a specialist in poison in-formation. During every

phone call the nurse will do a full assessment of the person calling, making sure they are OK. They will fi nd out symptoms, what substance was taken, how much, and how long the person has been exposed for. After the assessment, the nurse decides whether the poisoned person needs to go to the hospital, or can stay home and will be OK.

Hudson suggests if a citizen believes they have misused a product or poisoned themselves to automatically call the cen-tre, and to never induce vomiting.

If a person calls the cen-tre and the nurse believes a trip to the hospital is re-quired, the hospital will then call the centre back for more information. “Part of the service that the Manitoba Poison Cen-tre provides is advising health care professionals about their patients that are potentially poisoned.

Once the patient gets the to the hospital, the hos-pital then calls the centre and we can provide infor-mation to the doctors and nurses.”

The nurses at the poi-son centre will advise what symptoms to watch for, and how to treat the poisoning.

There are different ways to prevent adults from unintentionally poison-ing themselves. Liquids should always be stored in their original and proper bottles and labels should always be read. “There’s always important infor-mation that is on a label that may help you use the product properly or it may tell you there’s a problem, or you grabbed the wrong bottle,” Hudson explained.

If the poisoning is be-cause a person took more than the proper amount of medication, Hudson sug-gests daily pill organizers work best.

The Pharmacist at Walmart is dedicated to you and your health. If you have questions about your health, feel free to ask. We are happy to share our expertise and to off er you advice whenever you are in the store.

Just askThe Pharmacist at Walmart can off er advice and help on a wide range of topics.

• Advice about medication• Help with symptoms• Managing diabetes

• Quitting smoking• Choosing vitamins & supplements• Advice on other health issues

For most Canadians, whenever a health issue arises, the fi rst point of contact with the health sys-tem is their doctor’s offi ce or the hospital emergency room. For some health problems, that’s needed and appropriate. However, for many health conditions, there is a more convenient, accessible health provider who can deliver the same quality care – that being your community pharma-cist. Pharmacists are the most accessible health provider in the country. With over 24,000 phar-macists working in over 9,500 pharmacies across Canada, your community pharmacist can usually be seen without an appoint-ment, usually within a few minutes, and can provide a greater range of health ser-vices and care than most people are aware.

Many people still tend to see pharmacists as dispen-sers of medications pre-scribed by a physician and counsellors on the proper use of that medication. Although they continue to perform a dispensing and counselling function, over the past several years, pharmacists across Canada have been empowered to perform a range of addi-

tional services. A quick list of some of the services that pharmacists can now pro-vide includes:• Pharmacists can renew

and extend prescrip-tions, without the need for revisiting a doctor. They can also provide emergency prescription refi lls.

• Your community phar-macist can now deliver the annual fl u shot – most often without an appointment or lengthy waits, in most prov-inces.

• In some provinces, pharmacists can deliver smoking cessation pro-grams.

• If you are taking mul-tiple medications, phar-macists can conduct a medication review, whereby they analyze the mix of medications you are taking to en-sure there are no un-wanted side effects or other unintended con-

sequences.• In some provinces,

pharmacists can treat minor ailments such as diaper rashes, in-sect bites, headaches, or muscle strains and sprains.

• Some pharmacists have advanced training in caring for patients with diabetes.

If you’re unsure whether your pharmacist provides these or other services, simply ask!

In addition to the being accessible and convenient, pharmacists are very well trained in the services they provide. As regulated pro-fessionals, pharmacists must undergo continuous education in order to keep abreast of current develop-ments in medication man-agement. This high level of training and continuous education is refl ected in the fact that public opinion polls tell us that pharma-cists are among the most

trusted professionals in Canada – people know that their pharmacist is there to provide trusted care when and where they need it.

Approaching your phar-macist as your fi rst line of care for a range of medi-cation needs and chronic conditions has obvious advantages to you as the patient – greater accessibil-ity, less time to wait, and for most Canadians a phar-macy is located within their community. But the advan-tage of pharmacists being able to offer a wide range of services goes beyond benefi ts to the patient. By reducing the pressure on hospitals, emergency rooms, and doctor’s offi ces, pharmacists are helping to create a more sustainable health care system. With more patients visiting their pharmacies, capacity is freed up in other health in-stitutions, which also cuts costs to the overall health care system.

The next time you need the services of a health professional, think about your community pharma-cist. They have the know-ledge, expertise, and trust to provide the care and ser-vice you need for many of your medication and health needs.

BY AMANDA SANDERSSPECIAL TO THE

THOMPSON CITIZEN

Was your New Year’s Resolution to form better habits and eat healthier? Has it already gone badly? Here at the Thompson Public Library we are here to help! Whether you are looking for cookbooks, books about diet, exercise, illnesses or self-help books, the library has you covered!

Our health section has a wide variety of resour-ces to help you transform your life, from mainstream to alternative, cookbooks to life manuals, and topics on many ailments and life problems. A few examples of what can be found at the Thompson Public Library: Against the Grain: real in-gredients from whole foods, no additives or chemicals--the way gluten-free should be by Nancy Cain is a glu-ten-free cookbook with re-cipes varying from breads to desserts and gives an all-natural, gluten-free al-ternative to many favourite

foods. Using wheat alterna-tives such as buckwheat fl our you can learn to cook a skillet pizza, or snicker-doodles. The Diabetes Reset: Avoid It. Control It. Even Reverse It. by George L. King, M.D. Using a set of eight lifestyle changes, Dr. King gives hope to people who have Type 2 diabetes or are pre-diabetic. By learning what causes high blood sugar, King is con-fi dent that some lifestyle changes can improve your health vastly and poten-tially prevent a person diag-nosed as pre-diabetic from developing Type 2 diabetes. In Defense of Food: An Eat-er’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan outlines how we are mostly eating “foodlike substances” as opposed to fresh, natural and healthy food. We are in too much of a rush most of the time that we neglect ourselves most-ly by not giving ourselves enough time to prepare a proper meal and resorting to fast food. Pollan’s mantra throughout the book is “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly

plants.” as he outlines an escape from the “Western diet” and a way to relearn which foods are healthy, and which are not. You can fi nd these and many other similar resources at the li-brary; staff members are always here to help.

In addition to the in-library resources, every Thursday Story Time in March at 10:30 a.m. will have a dietitian in to read a story and teach us about healthy eating. The diet-itians have dropped off some resources at the li-brary as well as fi lling a display of library books that promote healthy eat-ing. On Saturday, March 28 at 10:30 a.m., Kylie Matechuk from Mo Tús Nua Wellness & Health Bar will read a story and do a special presentation about healthy eating to our Story Time group, so don’t miss out! For more information call 204-677-3717.

Amanda Sanders is a library assistant at the Thompson Public Library.

King Miners advance to second round of midget AA league playoffs


The Thompson King Miners built up a three-goal lead over The Pas Huskies in their second Norman Regional Min-or Hockey Association midget AA league playoff series at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena March 14 and held on for a 5-4 win to ad-vance to the next round of the playoffs.

Keith Blacksmith’s second straight goal in the second period put the King Miners up 5-2, but Jaden Young-Head scored late in the period to cut the lead to two and Orin Rambow made it a one-goal game with 31.9 seconds left in the game on a power play wrap-around.

Cruz Mitchell was the winning goaltender for the King Miners, who got a pair of goals from Trent North and one from Os-car Lafreniere to lead 3-2 after 20 minutes in what turned out to be the de-ciding game.

Kenton Brass got the win in the fi rst game of the series March 13, turning aside 44 shots as Thompson prevailed 8-6. Alex Murray had three goals to lead the King Miners in that game, while Jadeon Duke, Jer-ome Linklater, Marco Ne-pitabo, North and Tyler Sylvester had one goal apiece.

The King Miners will host the Cross Lake Islanders 2 in a second-round best-of-three play-

off series March 20-21 at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena, with both games going at 7:30 p.m. A third game, if necessary, will be played March 22 at 12:30 p.m. in the Gordon Beard Arena.

The other second round playoff series will see Opaskwayak Cree Nation taking on the Norway House North Stars in Norway House this weekend.

A dozen taekwondo gold

medals in ReginaBY LABAN MARTIAL ARTS & FITNESS STUDIOSPECIAL TO THE

THOMPSON CITIZEN

On Feb. 28 10 LABAN taekwondo students and their parents travelled to Regina, Sask. to partici-pate in the 2015 Kim’s Taekwondo Challenge and cleaned up.

More than 150 competi-tors from all over Canada and parts of the USA par-ticipated in the event.

LABAN’s taekwondo team brought home 12 gold medals, two silver medals and fi ve bronze medals.

Nicole Cruda (red stripe), Tristan Okemow (orange stripe) and Rayden Seela (blue belt) won two gold medals each in their own categories for patterns and sparring.

Zander Reddy and Laine Glenn received gold med-als in patterns.

Laine Glenn also partici-pated in sparring, taking second place in his cat-egory.

Cousins Rylee Clarke and Gerald Hart took home gold medals in sparring and bronze in patterns.

Erjonit Shabani placed third in patterns and fi rst in sparring.

Hannah Martens also came home with two bronze medals for both sparring and patterns.

The highlight of the tournament was when

LABAN’s yellow belt, Charles Paul, challenged the adult males in the black belt division. After being warned several times by the offi cials, tour-nament director, and the coaches of the black belts, LABAN owner Chris Byrne and Charles moved for-ward onto the ring so that Charles could really test his natural talents. “With a little more tweaking here and there and developing his speed and stamina, added to his aggressive-ness, we have a great reci-pe for a quality taekwondo competitor,“ says Byrne. Charles competed in two divisions - sparring in

the beginner adult males category where he placed fi rst and also in the black belt division, where for-ward head shots are worth three points and a turning head shot is worth four points. After defeating two national competitors and giving “the best com-petition of his life” to an-other second-degree black belt national contender, Charles impressed the many masters and audi-ence members, earning a silver medal in the black belt division, and sending one of the three second-degree black belt national competitors shamefully home.

Curling team named RDPC athletes of the month for February


R.D. Parker Collegiate’s athletes of the month for February represented the school at the Zone 11 curling championships in The Pas, where they won one game.

Although they ended up losing in the fi nal against The Pas, Colin Hall thought the season was a success. “It went pretty well since most of us were new to the sport.” Three of the fi ve members had never curled before. Matthew Stewart and Brayden Hitch, who have previous curling experi-ence, thought the team did excellent for fi rst-time curlers. “I’ve seen curlers who have been curling for four years and not do as good as you guys,” said Hitch.

Kevin Sullivan just started to curl this year, and his favourite memory of the season was travel-

ling to The Pas with the team. Stewart’s favourite memory was going into the fi nals. All the team-mates agreed, saying it

was a nerve-racking but exciting moment.

During the Zone 11 championship the team did win one game against

Flin Flon. “Since we were winning anyways, we were way far ahead anyways, we were just throwing fun shots at the

end. One of the members from the other team said I should throw it as soft as I could, to see if they would sweep it to the

other end,” explained Hitch.

To his amazement, his team got the rock to the other side, which he says means they have great teamwork and good sweeping skills.

Hitch says they did throw some bad rocks against The Pas and the ice was different than they were used to, which ended up making them lose 11-3.

All fi ve boys plan to play next year, and hope more people come up and try out. “If you don’t make the team, you don’t make it, but you had fun,” Sul-livan says. Hall agrees by saying athletes who want to try something new should come and try out.

With next year and an-other Zone 11 champion-ship attempt on the hori-zon, the boys say they’ll be practising more. “We need to get used to differ-ent ice,” says Hitch.

Girls’ basketball

player named

rural athlete of

the weekBY IAN [email protected]

Caitlin Fennell of the R.D. Parker Collegiate senior girls’ basketball team was named the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association Tire Recycle rural athlete of the week March 10.

A Grade 11 student with an 82 per cent average who also competes in high school volleyball, badminton and soccer, the 5’10” Fennell averages 15 points and 10 re-bounds per game and has been named an all-star at tournaments in Brandon, Sanford and Thompson this season.

“Caitlin is always ready to play basketball,” said sen-ior girls’ basketball coach Sara Gillis. “She loves the game and it shows when she is practising and playing games. There is never a time when she does not want to play and her passionate and assertive play shows her love for the sport. She is a pretty feisty player who hates to lose and I think most teams brace themselves for her presence on the court. I bet they wished she was on their team. I’m certainly glad she is on ours.”

Caitlin Fennell

Website tells senior girls’ basketball storyBY IAN [email protected]

Manitoba had the big-gest improvement among Canadian provinces in the Policy Perception Index portion of the Fraser In-stitute’s Annual Survey of Mining Companies for 2014, moving from 26th spot among more than 100 jurisdictions around the world to ninth, the fi rst time since 2010-11 that it has been in the top 10 on that index.

Manitoba was also judged as the second most mining-friendly jurisdic-tion in Canada overall, be-hind Saskatchewan, and was one of fi ve Canadian provinces and territories, along with Saskatchewan, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador and Yukon, among the top 10 most at-tractive jurisdictions to in-vest in globally.

In the Investment At-tractiveness Index, which combines the Policy Per-ception Index and Best Practices Mineral Potential Index, with policy weight-ed as 40 per cent and min-eral potential as 60 per cent of the total, Manitoba ranked fourth in the world behind Finland, Saskatch-ewan and Nevada. Last year it was ranked 13th.

The Policy Perception Index, known in previous surveys as the Policy Po-tential Index, measures the

overall policy attractive-ness of 122 jurisdictions based on survey responses. Factors considered include uncertainty about regu-lations, environmental regulations, regulatory duplication, the legal sys-tem, the taxation regime, uncertainty regarding pro-tected areas and disputed land claims, infrastruc-ture, socioeconomic and community development conditions, trade barriers, political stability, labour regulations, quality of the geological database, secur-ity and labour and skills availability. Manitoba’s score of 100 on the index was 85.6.

Under the Best Practices Mineral Potential Index, in which mining company executives rate a region’s attractiveness based sole-ly on whether or not a re-

gion’s geology encourages exploration, Manitoba ranked fi fth with a score of 0.81 on a scale of one, behind only Yukon, Nev-ada, Alaska and North-west Territories.

Comments regarding the mining industry in Mani-toba indicated that min-ing companies had con-cerns about uncertainty regarding consultations with First Nations and their effect on the waiting time for permits but liked incentive programs for mineral exploration and the province’s well-organ-ized mineral title system.

“The Manitoba govern-ment has created one of the best mineral explora-tion incentive packages in Canada, and this survey sends a clear message to mining companies that our province is a great place to invest,” said Min-eral Resources Minister Dave Chomiak in a news release highlighting the survey results. “Work-ing closely with industry partners, aboriginal and northern communities, and other stakehold-ers is one of our greatest strengths. In addition, the Manitoba Geological Sur-vey provides information on Manitoba’s mineral potential, which greatly assists companies in de-veloping their exploration initiatives.”

Manitoba one of top four regions for mining investment, says survey

Samantha Leahy will be traveling to Toronto this summer to volun-teer for the 2015 Pan Am Games. The games are the third-largest international multi-sports games. They started in 1951, and have been hosted in Canada twice, in 1967 and 1999, both in Winnipeg.

Leahy says she just happened upon this op-

portunity. “I have been looking off and on at working holidays for quite some time, as I always take a nice long vacation every summer. This op-portunity just happened to drop in to my lap. While watching television one evening a very enthusi-astic commercial seek-ing volunteers streamed across the screen. So I fi gure, ‘Ah why not, see what comes of it?’”

After seeing the com-mercial, Leahy applied online for a volunteer pos-ition on Nov. 24. On Feb. 9, she received her accept-ance letter. “I was and still am fantastically excited for this opportunity, as far as I know there were 60,000 applicants and I happen to be one of the 23,000 to be chosen.”

Although Leahy has never volunteered for something this big, with

over 200,000 expected viewers, 23,000 volun-teers and more than 7,000 athletes, she couldn’t be more excited.

“I have been assigned a role working at the To-ronto University, Pan Am / Parapan Am Fields, as an events services host. I was offered the position for both sets of games but unfortunately had to decline the Parapan Am section, as it is not feas-

ible for me to be there for both. Field hockey will be held at these fi elds and I will be there to provide assistance, directions and support during through-out the events.”

Leahy is having to dig deep into her pockets to afford this trip, but says it’s worth every penny. “I started saving as soon as I applied. Lots of overtime, often working 16-hour days, accompanied by a very diminished amount of days off. Every moment completely worth it. Work hard, play hard.”

Never imaging to take part in such an event, Leahy says she will be representing Thompson in a friendly, courteous and enthusiastic manner, or in other words just being herself. “But what I am most looking for to is to be immersed in a world/environment so vastly different from anything I could even imagine.”

The Pan Am/Parapan Am Games will be July 10-26 and Aug. 7-25.
