I can’t say that I have ever knowingly listened to Jimmy Rankin, but after the Aurora Borealis Arts Council’s presentation of his Back Road Paradise Tour two weeks ago, that could easily change.
Over 150 patrons took in Rankin’s November 6th Snow Lake show and I’m sure no one left dis-appointed; perhaps, like myself, there were even a few new converts.
The Lawrie Marsh Hall was buzzing prior to the event, as people settled into their seats and doffed their winter gear. There was also the chance some got a bit of a buzz on be-fore and during the per-formance, as the event was licenced for spirits.
The show began shortly after 7:00 p.m. as Rankin and accompanist Jamie Robinson took to their ‘spartan’ stage setting, after a glowing introduc-tion from the Arts Coun-cil’s Sylvia Zamzow.
They began the show softly and Rankin and Robinson’s harmon-ies put me in mind of a 1970’s act called ‘Loggins and Messina’ (‘Danny’s Song’, ‘Your Mama Don’t Dance’). Robinson is an exceptional guitar player and proved it often on this evening, he was no slouch with the mandolin either. Rankin was more a strum-mer than a picker on the two acoustics he brought with him to stage, and his voice is strong and pure whether he is holding the low notes or hitting the high ones.
It didn’t take the per-former long to warm up to the audience; after the fi rst two songs he seemed eager to engage and even had a little back and forth with the crowd. This was evidenced by his rebut-tal to someone in the hall stating, “You’re not really gonna play the Gibson now are you?” “They’re both Gibsons,” he prompt-ly responded.
After Rankin’s open-ing set, which ran about 45 minutes, he and Rob-
inson paused for a 20 minute intermission. This gave folks a chance to grab a quick beer, glass of wine, or a coffee. Dur-ing the break, folks from the Arts Council took the opportunity to make a 50-50 draw they’d sold at the outset of the event. They announced the winner from the stage and Mau-rice Nogier proved that even if his Canadiens have to work hard to buy their wins, all he had to do was plop down his fi ve bucks. Moe went home with a cool $215 in his pocket.
The second set began a bit up tempo from the fi rst and this was dialed up even more as the show progressed. By the time Rankin started into the be-ginning notes of ‘Followed Her Around’ people were swaying in their seats, clapping their hands, and singing along. It was fairly obvious that many at the show were quite familiar with Rankin’s vast cata-logue of music and there were many attending on this night who shared his maritime roots.
As the music got louder and faster, the old Law-rie Marsh Hall never sounded better; Rankin’s man on the mixer this night earned his wage and more. The sound was crisp and clear and pleas-ing to the ear.
When the performer
and his accompanist fi nal-ly came to the end of their presentation, the crowd showed their collective gratitude and clapped, whistled, and whooped till he offered up an en-core. He’d obviously con-templated this fi nal three song set, beginning with a soulful and relevant Remembrance Day tune, ‘Banks of Sicily’ by John Allan Cameron, followed it up with one of his Christmas songs, ‘Tinsel Town’; then closed with ‘Whiskey when the Sun Goes Down’. After an-other rousing round of ap-plause, the two gents left the stage; then came down into the main hall to talk with audience members and sign CD’s.
From start to fi nish the show ran two hours and ten… which is just about as long as anyone cares to sit in the chronically uncomfortable chairs of the Lawrie Marsh Hall. Nevertheless, a great show in a more than suit-able venue. It should also be mentioned that the members of the Aurora Borealis Arts Council once again outdid themselves. The shows this fi ne group brings to our little town are always top notch and this one was certainly indicative of that. They deserved some of the ap-plause rendered on this night as well. Bravo.

I have come to Thomp-son at the end of June 2014 to be the pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. This is the fi rst time I write here and I thought it would be prop-er to share about myself.
I began life as an athe-ist, later on I became a religious person believ-ing in the existence of God through a religion. Finally, I gave my life to Jesus in 1985, and began following Him.
My growth in Christ has been slow, kind of the growth of an oak tree, empowered by the in-dwelling presence of the Holy Spirit who works with one’s inner resour-ces gradually, climbing upwards on what is al-ready present.
A time came and in my walk with Christ there was stillness, a steady place. I was an informed, educated, prayerful, de-vout Christian. Was I able to put into practice every-thing I knew? Not really.
Pain is inevitable in life and I had my share of disappointments and heartaches. I saw the evil in the people around me and how they enjoyed and took pride in getting their own way. While they were doing wrong, the self-righteous feeling of
“I am right” was my bit-ter comfort and my trap.
Jesus was crucifi ed and He prayed for those who crucifi ed Him, “Father forgive them, they don’t know what they are do-ing.” I prayed the same prayer but it did me no good. Jesus prayed that prayer and only Jesus could pray that prayer because He had no sin, no evil in Him. When I prayed the same prayer I put myself into the right-eous shoes of Jesus which only He is qualifi ed to wear.
By God’s grace one day I noticed why I could no longer grow an inch. I began to see myself in the people who dis-appointed me. I was not exactly like them, but somewhat similar in the heart. I would not do the same things they did, but had my share of evil in a very subtle way, hidden from all eyes, quietly at-tempting to manipulate
the world around me to get my way and in the process disappointing even myself. Many times people closed their eyes to my sinfulness which I probably read as I suc-cessfully achieved. All the while perhaps some of them were even pray-ing for me.
When I saw the evil in me and also the unending desire of hiding this evil from myself, I saw the wickedness of my heart. I was helpless; nothing good was coming out of me. Being desperately de-pendant on God’s grace, I did not feel condemned by Jesus, but rejoiced for His grace was available for me. I had nothing to lose; Christ had gained all for me.
It was only then I threw myself into doing good, into kindness without reservation which does not mean “no failure” but a clean ground for God to continue His work in me.
I then noticed God’s power became available for me and within me. There was a rapid growth in me, almost a glitch was removed and freed the Holy Spirit to use the accumulated knowledge within me which sudden-ly became alive and prac-tical in my life and I felt God Himself was tangibly closer. It is such a comfort to abide in the presence of peace giving God. No wonder Jesus said, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32). Let’s also not forget what Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father ex-cept by me” (John 14:6).
God’s comfort into our lives comes when our vi-sion about ourselves and life is confronted by the goodness and grace of Jesus Christ and fi nds its proper place. God’s com-fort is not made available for us in our goodness, but in the Truth who gave His life for you and me. It is my faith and my de-pendence into this grace that set me free to abide in Christ. I am thankful to God for His quiet and patient work within me. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

We are expanding all-weather road access in Manitoba.
This past week the Bloodvein River Bridge was offi cially opened by Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Minister Eric Rob-inson, minister respon-sible for the East Side Road Authority
With the completion of the new bridge, residents will now have year-round road access to the prov-incial road network. This will help to reduce the cost
of goods and services, increase access to health and social services, and provide new economic op-portunities for the com-munity.
Having all-weather road access �will make a huge difference to the commun-ity.
Bloodvein is now the fi rst of many commun-ities that will eventually be linked to the rest of the province through the all-season road project. At the same time, the project
is also creating hundreds of jobs and training op-portunities.
To date, four new bridg-es and approximately 43 kilometres of new road
have been constructed on the 156-kilometre, all-season road from PR 304 to Berens River First Nation. Construction of approximately 30 kilo-
metres of all-season road between Bloodvein and Berens River has recently started. Minister Rob-inson said the East Side Road Authority (ESRA) has installed three Acrow panel bridges over the Red Sucker, Mainland and Stevenson rivers. These bridges are helping to extend the length of time that local residents and commercial truckers can use the winter roads.
To date, over 600 job opportunities for local
residents have been cre-ated for road and bridge projects on the all-sea-son road project. The ESRA has also entered in community benefits agreements (CBAs) with each of the 13 east side First Nation commun-ities for pre-construction work.

The Harper government continues to ignore the sys-temic problem of violence against women, particular-ly aboriginal women.
This week I raised the issue in Question Period in the House of Commons. The following is the� ques-tion I raised.
“Just over a week ago Rinelle Harper, a young Indigenous woman from Northern Manitoba was brutally attacked and left to die by the river in Win-
nipeg. Because of her in-credible strength and the support of her family and her friends she is getting better.
But until Canadians as a whole address vio-lence against Indigenous women, the violence will not stop.
So the question is: when will this government take leadership to end violence, put an end to violence against women, come up with an action plan, sup-port the families, so what Rinelle went through and what thousands of Indigenous women go through won’t ever happen again?”
It is time we recognized that this is a national prob-lem.

Belief that all-sea-sons “are good enough” the most common rea-son for not using win-ter tires, despite proven safety and performance benefi ts
Outside Quebec, where winter tire use is mandat-ed by law, only 51 per cent of drivers use winter tires, according to a survey by Leger on behalf of the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC).
The survey asked driv-ers if they had used win-ter tires this past winter. Excluding Quebec, the poll found that winter tire usage is highest in Atlan-tic Canada (73 per cent) followed by Ontario (56 per cent), Alberta (45 per cent), Manitoba and Sas-katchewan (39 per cent) and British Columbia (38 per cent).
Many drivers cling to the idea that all-season tires offer suffi cient trac-tion and braking capabil-ities for winter driving. Among those not using winter tires:• 63 per cent said that
all-seasons are good enough for winter driving
• 27 per cent cited cost as a barrier for not
using winter tires• 22 per cent said they
don’t drive enough in cold-weather months to merit winter tires
“The fact that so many drivers are not using win-ter tires is a clear threat to road safety,” says Glenn Maidment, president of the Tire and Rubber Asso-ciation of Canada (TRAC), which represents tire makers. “Today’s high-tech winter tires dramatic-ally outperform all-season tires in all winter driving conditions. Despite all the evidence pointing to the fact that winter tires decrease collisions and reduce personal injury accidents, resistance to adopting winter tires re-mains strong.”
The Quebec experi-ence
A study released by the Quebec government in 2011 found that winter road-accident injuries had dropped by fi ve per cent in the province since winter tire use was made manda-tory by law in 2008. This research revealed that universal winter tire use had resulted in 574 people not suffering an accident. The study also showed a three per cent reduction in
deaths and serious injur-ies due to road accidents.
These fi ndings are sup-ported by a recent report from the Traffi c Injury Re-search Foundation (TIRF) that concludes that win-ter tires provide superior traction, braking and cor-nering in all cold-weather driving conditions wheth-er the road surface is dry, wet, icy or snow-covered.
Shorter stopping dis-tances
Superior braking is one of the primary safety fea-tures of today’s advanced technology winter tires. The TIRF report cites re-search which indicates that on dry pavement at temperatures just below freezing, stopping distan-ces for vehicles with win-ter tires are as much as 30 per cent shorter than for vehicles with all-season tires. The report also con-cludes that winter tires deliver better traction on an ice or snow-covered road surface at -30°C than all-season tires at 4°C.
The TIRF report can be viewed, along with a wealth of other informa-tion about the perform-ance benefi ts of winter tires by visiting www.tracanada.ca and clicking
on “Resources” under the “Winter Tires” drop down menu.
Improved fuel econ-omy
Drivers who do not opt for winter tires due to the cost need to be aware that using winter tires in the cold-weather months and summer tires throughout the rest of the year can re-duce fuel consumption by as much as fi ve per cent. (Source: TIRF report) The cost of winter tires is also tempered by prolonging the life of summer tires, which saves money over time. Some insurers also provide reduced pre-miums to drivers using winter tires.
An innovative program from Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) clearly illustrates how concerned some insurers are about the need to make road-ways safer through great-er use of winter tires. MPI recently announced that it would provide Mani-toba drivers with low-cost loans for the purchase and installation of quali-fying winter tires. Motor-ists seeking more infor-mation on this low-cost loan program can visit www.mpi.mb.ca.
Proper tire infl ationDrivers should pay par-
ticular attention to proper tire infl ation during the winter months. Under-in-fl ated tires have a smaller footprint, which weakens their grip. The result is diminished braking and handling characteristics, along with higher fuel consumption due to in-creased rolling resistance.
Tire pressures can fl uc-tuate widely in winter, particularly when temper-atures fall rapidly. Every fi ve degree decrease in temperature results in a loss of about one psi in air pressure. A temper-ature drop of 15°C, for example, typically results in a 10 per cent loss of in-fl ation.
During the cold-weather months, tire pressures should be measured at least once a month using a reli-able tire gauge. If the tire is found to be under-inflated, the pressure should be adjusted to the vehicle manufactur-er’s recommended level. The right pressure can be found in the owner’s manual or on the vehicle information placard nor-mally located on one an
inside door jam or inside the fuel door. As well, pressures should only be measured when the tires are cold and the vehicle has been stationary for at least two hours.
MethodologyA survey of 1,002
Canadian motorists was completed online be-tween April 7 and April 11, 2014, using Leger’s, LegerWeb panel. A prob-ability sample of the same size would yield a margin of error of ± 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
