Police, fi refi ghters and emergency medical workers marched from the fi re hall to the fi refi ghters’ memorial on Sept. 11 to remember the events that
happened that day in 2001.
BY DEVAN C. TASAFirefi ghters, police, emer-
gency medical staff and others marched from the fi re hall to the fi refi ghters’ memorial to remember that infamous day 14 years ago.
“9/11 has always been remembered for all of the fi refi ghters and police of-fi cers who passed away and we continue to remember that,” said Jason Kuras, the International Associa-tion of Fire Fighters 2200’s president, “but it’s also
important to recognize the people who are still in the fi eld, still do this job and still risk their lives every day.”
The Thompson Fire De-partment has 24 full-time fi refi ghters, 19 auxiliaries, fi ve dispatchers, two dep-uty chiefs and a chief.
The march is something that’s done every Sept. 11 in Thompson and is organ-ized by the union.
“The union has always taken a strong stance on
remembering the fallen fi refi ghters of 9/11,” said Mike Bourgon, the deputy chief. “Obviously we sup-port that.”
Bourgon read the fi re-fi ghter’s prayer, which is about protecting people, from young to old, and their property, while being prepared to lose their own lives doing that service.
“It’s important that we don’t forget,” he said. “Things can go from per-fectly fi ne to crazy, scary
intense within seconds so this is a good opportunity for us, the RCMP, sheriffs, community safety offi cers and everyone that was in-volved today to get togeth-er, look around and realize the importance of brother-hood, working together and training.”
Kuras said he was pleased with the turnout, which included representa-tives from the city and MLA Steve Ashton’s offi ce.
“I was really happy with
the amount of people that we had,” he said. “We had some great speakers and hopefully we look forward to doing it again next year and every year.”

BY DEVAN C. TASABy walking around the
block in bright red high-heeled pumps, Thompson men showed their oppos-ition to violence against women.
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, organized by the YWCA, had 40 men participate and raised $8,000 for the organization’s women’s programs.
“It’s an important way for men and boys to show their support in ending violence against women,” said Angel Anderson, the YWCA’s board president. “I think they often don’t have an opportunity to show a way that they support an end to violence against women and girls.”
Elaine McGregor, the executive director, added domestic violence is a ser-ious issue that needs more awareness in the commun-ity.
“(The event) gets people
talking about it who might not otherwise be talking about it,” she said.
Manitoba has the second-highest rate of domestic violence within Canada’s provinces. In Thompson, a 2011 survey reported that 21 per cent of students at RD Parker Collegiate had been victims of sexual assault or violence. The RCMP reported there were 176 incidents of domestic violence in 2011 – that fi g-ure excluded incidents that included other offenses. About 22 per cent of do-mestic violence incidents are reported to the police.
For Braden Paulic, a Nor-man Northstars player, it was his second year at the walk.
“It’s a great event. It’s for a good cause. You might have sore feet a couple of days after but it’s worth it in the long run,” he said.
For many on the team, it was their fi rst time.
“A lot of them have sore feet and they haven’t even started yet,” he said.
Darryl Sheppard, who did two laps around the block, has done the event for six years. The fi rst year, he was there as a whim from his wife.
“The second year I did it actually turned into a personal thing for me,” he said. “I did the walk in the morning and unfortu-nately I lost my sister to cancer the same night, so I’ve been doing it in her honour since then.”
Sheppard said you get used to wearing the heels. He advises men stick to roads and sidewalks so they don’t roll their ankles.
“The fi rst year, it’s a little trying. After that, it’s not so bad. I tell the guys if you’ve ever skated when you were younger it’s good if you’ve got ankle sup-port,” he said.
Paulic said that wearing
high heels is somewhat like skating.
“It’s kind of tight but it’s a lot different, being on your tippy-toes,” he said. “It’s a little bit more pain-ful, I guess you can say.”
Nina Cordell the women’s programs co-ordinator, said the money raised will go towards women’s pro-grams like the Women’s Centre, which offers the Blueprints program aimed at empowering women and gives items like toiletries, clothing, internet access and diapers to those in need, GirlSpace, and Girl-Space Jr., and programs specifi c to domestic vio-lence.
Sheppard challenged the community’s men to take part in next year’s event.
“You shouldn’t be ashamed to walk the walk in the red shoes,” he said. “It’s something that’s a good cause and I think more guys should be in it.”

BY DEVAN C. TASALooking for activities to
do over the winter is easy with a visit to the City of Thompson’s Health and Leisure Mart.
This year’s mart, the 23rd annual, had 50 exhibitors, including the Thompson Minor Hockey Association and Girl Guides. There were also vendors selling their health and leisure-related products.
“I always say it’s a great way for businesses and organizations to promote (themselves) and take regis-tration for upcoming events or upcoming season,” said Cory Sparkes, the city’s fa-cilities co-ordinator, at the Sept. 11 and 12 event. “We have between 1,000 and 1,500 people that come
through the mart on the Friday and another 1,000 on the Saturday.”
The Boys and Girls Club was one of the organizations there.
“We are here to put a face to some of our names, be-cause people in the commun-ity might not know some of the staff that work there and also we are here to get more kids enrolled to come to our afterschool program,” said Brandee Broadfoot, the club’s executive director.
She said the response had been good, with many fam-ilies signing up or taking a form home.
Skate Thompson was also there.
“We’re getting registrants for our upcoming season,” Jordan Schaus, one of the
coaches, said. “So we have a winter session starting Oct. 13 and we have all of the information here today and tomorrow.”
They were also there to promote their free skating session, which happened Sept. 15 and 16.
Schaus said sign-ups were going well.
“We’ve had lots of people signing up for our Pre-CanSkate, which is our pro-gram for beginners, so we have lots of young students that are coming to start,” she said.
The Northern Culture Art-ists Co-op is a new organiza-tion that had just opened a new art studio. The co-op is a democratic, member-owned organization that helps it members market
and sell its art.“We wanted to get out
and make people see us, kind of like a coming out,” said Markus Mercredi, who’s one of the members. “We want to recruit people to join our company and make our company grow.”
Mercredi said the co-op was able to talk to a few people at the mart, one of which was the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre. The two organizations are looking at putting together an art workshop.
Sparkes said he liked to see the many friendly faces that come to the mart.
“Seeing the whole com-munity out and planning to get active for fall and win-ter, that’s really what it’s all about,” he said.

Helping yourneighbours
When my group publisher asked me if I could help out the Thompson Citizen for a couple of weeks, it didn’t take long for me to say yes.
I’m the editor of the Tisdale Recorder and the Parkland Review in Saskatchewan. It’s somewhat similar to the Citizen and the Nickel Belt News in that there’s usually an editor and reporter working to gather stories for both a local and regional newspaper each week.
Because of circumstances here in Thompson, both the editor and reporter aren’t working for a few weeks. I fi gure if my newspapers were in a similar situation, I would want somebody to come over to help us.
The reporter that works with me, Taryn Reimer, did ask me why we were sending somebody and not a neighbour-ing Glacier Media paper. A quick look at the map cleared things up. While we are eight hours apart by car, we are a neighbouring paper.
It’s because that people are willing to help their neigh-bours that our communities have survived and thrived. Historically out in the prairies, where farmers lived a long way from any urban centre and travel was slower, it was the neighbours that would help out in any emergency. I’m not sure about the specifi cs here in Norman, but I imagine the situation was similar. Come to think of it, I imagine that is the situation for the many communities here that are only accessible by planes and winter roads.
It’s a help your neighbour ethic that ensures that our communities continue to have their needs fulfi lled. In Tisdale, community organizations have spent countless hours raising money for needs like a new playground for the local elementary school; in Thompson, the same was done for Rotary playground and water park in Deerwood.
Helping neighbours allows us all to function as a com-munity.
What do you think?
Dear Editor:How many of times we fall into that neutralization
trap of relaxation or our easy comfort zones of not go-ing anywhere. We focus more on complaining, gos-siping and wondering why our bodies, minds and soul stays neutral so long. “Rocking chairs” can be used more than once in a purpose of passion. We play the best version of oneself in living in that comfort zone on no worries of tomorrow. Rocking chairs can be more of a problem than a solution. If we continue fulfi lling our lifestyles in neutral zones capacity then how can our narrow-minded minds be focusing all together?
Ken Ross, Thompson

BY DEVAN C. TASAA routine annual re-
view of the city’s execu-tive staff’s contact gen-erated some discussion after a councillor tried to implement a pay freeze.
The changes to the contract presented to council at its Sept. 8 meeting included a two per cent increase ap-plying retroactively as of July 1, reflecting the increase unionized city staff received from their last contract talks.
Coun. Ron Matechuk moved an amendment
to freeze those salary levels, supported by Coun. Duncan Wong and opposed by the rest of council. Coun. Penny Byer was not present.
“I think we need to support our executive staff,” Coun. Blake Ellis said. “We want the City of Thompson to be an organization where they choose to do to work – and they do a heck of a job.”
He added the executive staff should get a raise that reflects the one re-ceived by the workers
they manage.“I understand where
Coun. Matechuck is com-ing from,” Coun. Judy Kolada said, “because if we have a manager who makes $150,000 a year and gets two per cent, that’s $3,000. If we have a worker who makes $50,000 a year, he gets $1,000 with two per cent. The gap just continues to widen.”
She said the executive staff should get raises, but they should get a similar dollar amount as the workers are getting,
not the same percentage.Coun. Colleen Smook
said the issue of a wage freeze should have been discussed at budget time in conjunction with talks with the executive staff.
Dennis Fenske , Thompson’s mayor, said the process of making changes to the execu-tive staff’s contact that mirror the ones made in the unionized city staff’s contract has been fol-lowed for many years.
“I’m a little bit sur-prised by the suggestion on this one-off item, this
sense that as a council we’re suggesting a wage freeze when it’s never been discussed by the whole council, the HR committee, the adminis-tration through the pre-vious budgetary process or the current review,” he said.
After the amendment failed, Matechuk and Wong voted to oppose the changes to the con-tract. Wong said he was concerned about the pro-cess of approving the contract, the fact that there’s been no perfor-
mance review conducted and how the raise com-pares to others within Thompson.
“Vale’s only giving one per cent, so I have a problem with that because Vale’s making money and we are not,” he said.
Other modifications to the contract includ-ed changes in overtime rules to reduce high overtime banks, changes in salary rules for when someone covers their boss and changes to job descriptions.

BY DEVAN C. TASAThompson’s largest em-
ployer made itself publicly available for questioning as its releases its annual report.
Vale held an open house at the Thompson Regional Community Centre Sept. 11 and 12, taking advantage of the traffi c from the Health and Leisure Mart.
“It’s a chance for us to stand for questioning from the community and people who would like to know more about our company and the kinds of things that we’re doing,” said Ryan Land, the corporate affairs manager.
Land added the open house is also a chance to showcase the company’s achievements and its em-ployees to talk about the work they do.
The open house had a display of the mined por-tions of the 1D ore body, samples of cores and ore, some modeling of explor-ation and a drill simulator.
It’s a good chance for kids to understand, in some cases, what their moms and dads do when they go to work every day,” Land said.
Land said most of the questions they had been asked at the open house
as of Sept. 11 were related to employment, but there were also questions about Vale’s future in Thompson. The company is conducting a feasibility study for the Footwall Deep Project locat-ed deep within the Thomp-son Mine’s 1D ore body. That study is expected to be complete in 2016.
“The main piece of our future that I think people are interested in is about the resource that’s in the ground,” Land said. “Are we still exploring? Are we still developing the re-source? The answer to that question is yes and there’s a long-term mining and mill-
ing future here in Thomp-son, Man.”
The company will be transitioning into a min-ing and milling only oper-ation by 2019.
People was also ask-ing about the effect of low nickel prices.
“We’re increasingly looking at ways to be more productive, to man-age our costs effectively and to make sure we can be a sustainable business in every price market and especially in the current market where the price is so low,” Land said.
Land said the com-pany would be sending a
URL linking to the report via mail to everyone in Thompson. He added he
was willing to answer any question about it and the mine to the public.

DEVAN C. TASAThe Norman Northstars
have selected their players and are preparing for the upcoming season.
The Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League team chose their players after tryouts held Aug. 28 to 30.
“I think that there’s lots of talent,” said Doug Kor-man, the Northstars’ head coach. “The team has some good size and quick forwards. The goaltend-ing is strong and we’re still evaluating our defense but overall, as coaches, we were impressed with this year’s talent.”
The players are already in Thompson and going to practices.
“Conditioning is the number one thing we’re going to focus in on right now,” Korman said. “We’re working on our defensive system, haven’t really touched on any-thing offensively yet but just seeing how the kids handle and shoot the puck, you can see there’s a lot of natural talent there.”
Of the 23-member team, 11 are returning for the 2015-16 season.
“Mike Markus will be leaned on heavily for leadership along with all of last year’s returning play-ers,” Kormand said. “Mi-chael Venne from Thomp-son, returning on defense, (we’re) looking for his leadership as well.”
The coach also high-lighted Ethan Stuckless’ work over the summer.
“He improved over the summer. He worked hard on the conditioning and it really showed during the tryouts,” he said.
Korman also highlighted two of his new players.
“We’ve got Justin Nach-baur out of Cross Lake,” he said. “One of the top 15-year-olds in the prov-ince, he’s a big size: over 200 pounds, 6-foot-2. He’s
going to be a big power for us this year.”
There’s also Keith Monias, also of Cross Lake.
“(He’s) very talented of-fensively. He’ll add a lot of offense to our team,” he said.
The team is aiming to improve from last year’s season.
“I’m confi dent that we’re going to improve on last year and looking to make the playoffs this year,” Korman said.
The Northstars’ season begins on the road with games on Oct. 2 , 3 and 4, with home games begin-ning on Oct. 10 and 11.
Until that time, the play-ers will be doing volunteer work in the community.
“You’ll see the boys out in the community,” Kor-man said. “It’s very typ-ical that the Northstars get involved and are role models for the younger kids in town and in the North.”
Northstars select players for upcoming season

BY DEVAN C. TASAThompson’s RCMP de-
tachment will be receiving an international award for its part in Project Northern Doorway.
The project brings togeth-er multiple agencies and focuses on providing home-less people with a place to live before providing addi-tional supports and services like addiction treatment.
Insp. Will Tewnion, who’s in charge of the detach-ment, said he applied for the
International Association of Chiefs of Police’s Commun-ity Policing Award for a community with fewer than 20,000 people.
“I put the submission in – it was eight pages – and the submission included what Project Northern Doorway was all about, what where some of the lessons learned, what effect it had on the safety of the community, all these things,” he said.
Tewnion said he was pleased his detachment re-
ceived the award.“I was ecstatic,” he said.
“To get international rec-ognition for the work that’s going on here for some time was very rewarding and I wanted to share the news with everybody.”
One member of the de-tachment will be travelling to the International Asso-ciation’s conference in Chi-cago to receive the award. The Association has paid for registration, travel and accommodation.
“As the detachment com-mander, I was the recipient of the award, but I have put a process in place so I can identify a deserving constable who we’re going to Chicago for that week on our behalf to accept the award,” Tewnion said.
The detachment has also asked the Association send a representative to its regimental ball in Novem-ber to present the award here.
Beside the RCMP, the
project is also a partner-ship between the City of Thompson, Canadian Mental Health Associa-tion, Manitoba Housing, Thompson Homeless Shel-ter, Addictions Founda-tion of Manitoba, Northern Health Region, Thompson Housing Agency, Thomp-son Neighborhood Renew-al Corporation and Keewa-tin Tribal Council.
In his submission to the Association, Tewnion wrote the project has re-
duced downtown crime by 50 per cent.
“I think it’s a great ex-ample of what we call community mobilization, where the entire commun-ity got together to resolve a community issue,” he said. “Crime in the down-town area is not some-thing that’s going to be resolved just by the police. It had to be a community effort and that is an ex-ample of a great commun-ity effort.”
RCMP receive international award
DEVAN C. TASAThe city’s effort to build a
wastewater treatment plant has reached one of its fi rst milestones.
A letter from Infrastruc-ture Canada said the project wouldn’t require an envi-ronmental assessment as per the rules of the federal Environmental Assessment Act and it wouldn’t require consultations with First Na-tions, as long as efforts to mitigate damage to fi sheries were made.
“This is the fi rst cor-respondence that we’ve received in regards to the wastewater treatment plant project,” said Gary Ceppetel-li, Thompson’s city adminis-trator, at the Sept. 8 council meeting.
He told council detailed designs of the project were being produced.
The municipal, provincial and federal governments will fund the project.
“The next component of the project is entering into a contribution agreement with the federal government, which likely will take prior to the end of the year prior to having that document in a state where we can take it to council for signing,” Cep-petelli said.New parking lot
Part of a green space east of the Aaron’s Furniture building on Thompson Drive will become an 11-stall parking lot.
Council voted in favour of leasing the space at a rate of $0.35 per square foot. The parking lot is aimed at making the building more attractive for potential ten-ants of the remaining two vacant spaces. Not all of the land will become a parking lot; the trees currently on the property will be kept and new trees will be planted.
“I think this is a real neat development, how they’re turning that building in,” said Coun. Kathy Valentino. “It’s making us look like a bigger city then we are, so I hope they fi ll the two vacant spaces as soon as they can.”
Coun. Dennis Foley said he was concerned about how the work to build the parking lot started before council signed a lease agree-ment. Matthew Boscariol, the director of planning, said if council hadn’t approved the agreement, the applicant would have been expected to return the land to its previ-ous state.
