War Lake chief receives Order of Manitoba

Nickel Belt News photo by Tracey Goncalves, Government of Manitoba War Lake First Nation Chief Betsy Kennedy, the longest-serving female chief in Manitoba, receives the Order of Manitoba from Manitoba Lt.-Gov. Janice Filmon July 7.

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

War Lake First Nation Chief Betsy Kennedy was one of 11 Manitobans who received the Order of Manitoba, the province’s highest honour, from Lt.Gov. Janice Filmon at a ceremony in the legislature building in Winnipeg July 7.

Kennedy has been chief of War Lake First Nation since 2006 and is the longest-serving female chief in Manitoba. During her time in office, the First Nation has seen the development

of a new nursing station, a new store, a garage, a water treatment plant, a youth centre and a community fish facility. She was one of the four Northern Manitoba chiefs who signed the Joint Keeyask Development Agreement with Manitoba Hydro and the provincial government at Split Lake in 2009 and addressed the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women in 2014 about how women and children living in First Nations can be better served by the

federal government. She was also part of a delegation from Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO), which represents 30 Northern Manitoba First Nations, that travelled to in London, United Kingdom in October 2013 to mark the 250th anniversary of the Royal Proclamation of 1763.

Order recipients are selected by the lieutenant-governor based on recommendations by a nine-member advisory and their names are on permanent display on a plaque

on the legislature’s second floor. Up to 12 people receive the award each year.

“The exceptional women and men to be invested into the Order of Manitoba serve to inspire us all and reinforce the difference that any one person can make in their community, province, nationally or even on a global scale,” said the lieutenant-governor in a July 6 news release. “The newest members of the order will bring the total number invested to 221 since this honour was created in 1999.”

Northern Manitoba communities among those newly eligible for Nutrition North subsidies as of October Thirty-seven remote northern communities - including six in Manitoba - will join the list of communities eligible for Nutrition North Canada subsidies as of Oct. 1 of this year, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada announced July 18.

Tadoule Lake, Brochet, York Landing, Granville Lake and Shamattawa in Northern Manitoba are among those newly eligible for the full subsidy as of October, along with Berens

River. Previously eligible Manitoba communities Lac Brochet, Red Sucker Lake, God’s River, Oxford House, God’s Lake Narrows, Waasagomach, Island Lake (Garden Hill), St. Theresa Point, Negginan (Poplar River), Pauingassi and Little Grand Rapids will continue to be eligible for the subsidies, which aim to reduce the high cost of groceries for people in isolated northern communities.

The expansion comes after

eligibility criteria were updated and the budget for the food subsidy program increased by $64.5 million over the next five years and $13.8 million each year beginning in 2021.

“The government of Canada is committed to listening to northern families to understand what they need to help feed their families,” said Indigenous and Northern Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett in a press release.

“These changes will help more

families to have access to affordable and nutritious food.”

The announcement was made in Inuvik, Northwest Territories at the Inuvik Community Greenhouse prior to a roundtable discussion with northern, Inuit and First Nations leaders on food security in the North.

“This announcement shows that small steps can lead to a greater impact on the daily lives of northerners,” said interim Nutrition North Canada

advisory board chair Nellie Cournoyea.

Nutrition North Canada served 103 communities in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Yukon, northern Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan as of June 2014. Some NNC communities receive full subsidies of as much as $16 per kilogram, while others receive partial subsidies of as little as five cents per kilogram.

Remote Northern Manitoba First Nations will get four new schools Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett announced July 11 that the federal government will construct four new schools and renovate two others in Bunibonibee Cree Nation at Oxford House, Gods Lake First Nation, Manto Sipi Cree Nation at Gods River and Wasagamack First Nation.

Design, engineering and project management firm AECOM will receive $6 million to provide project management services for building and renovating the six schools. The total cost of the schools will not be determined until a contractor for the construction and renovation has been selected via an open tendering process.

“I am certain that these new schools are an important step in creating hope and achieving success for the inspiring young people of Bunibonibee Cree Nation, God’s Lake First Nation, Manto Sipi Cree Nation and Wasagamack First Nation,” Bennett said in a press release.

The four fly-in northeast-

ern Manitoba First Nations have a combined population of more than 7,600, with God’s Lake First Nation the largest at 2,455 people and Manto Sipi Cree Nation the smallest with 799 people.

Bunibonibee Cree Nation and Wasagamack First Nation both have populations of approximately 2,200 people.

Girl dies after canoe capsizes in Churchill River A five-year-old girl from Winnipeg died July 13 after a canoe carrying her, her father and her four-year-old brother capsized in the Churchill River.

Churchill RCMP received a report of the capsized canoe around 5:15 p.m. that day and responded to the scene where two local tour operators alerted about the accident had pulled the three from the water. They were transported

by ambulance to hospital in Churchill where the girl was pronounced dead.

RCMP said the incident was not suspicious in nature and that all three occupants of the canoe were wearing life jackets when their boat tipped over.

Manitoba RCMP warn boaters to be aware of dangers and prepared for possible emergencies while on the water.

BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

On July 16, Shamattawa RCMP arrested and charged a suspect in the murder of a 37-year-old woman.

Philip Miles, 37, was charged with

second-degree murder and appeared in court July 18 in Thompson.

The woman’s body had been discovered by a local fisherman at noon on July 14, and was shortly thereafter identified. Further investigation led to

the involvement of the RCMP Serious Crimes Unit.

The victim, who was last seen in the community July 12, and the accused knew each other, according to police.

Kitchen Diva - Summer on the Cob

By Angela Shelf Medearis

Mexican Street Corn With Chile and Lime This flavorful corn recipe also is known as Elotes, which in Spanish means “corn,” “fresh corn” or “sweet corn.”

It’s often sold in Mexico by street vendors, and in America from food carts and at fairs. This recipe serves one ear of corn per person, but I’d double it. It’s hard to eat just one when it’s prepared this way!

1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream, Greek yogurt or Mexican crema 1/2 cup finely crumbled cotija or feta cheese, plus more for serving 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon ancho or guajillo chili powder, plus more for serving 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro or parsley leaves and tender stems 4 ears shucked corn 1 lime, cut into wedges 1. Prepare a fire in your grill according to manufacturer’s directions. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, evenly spread out coals over half of the coal grate. Alternatively, set half the burners of a gas grill to high heat. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.

2. While the grill heats, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt or crema, cheese, garlic and chili powder, and cilantro or parsley in a large bowl. Stir until well-combined and set aside.

3. When grill is hot, place corn directly over hot side of grill and cook, rotating occasionally, until cooked through and charred in spots on all sides, about 8 minutes total.

4. Transfer corn to a bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Use a large spoon to evenly coat corn on all sides with mixture. Sprinkle with extra cheese and chili powder. Serve immediately with lime wedges. Makes 4 servings. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc., and Angela Shelf Medearis

Manitoba’s new RCMP commanding ofďŹ cer a big believer in community engagement

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Recently appointed commanding officer of the RCMP “Dâ€? Division in Manitoba Scott Kolody says that he thinks it’s important for the more than 1,000 ofďŹ cers serving the province to not just reside in the communities they serve but to embrace the opportunity to become part of their communities’ fabric. “It’s just not responding to crime scenes but it’s all about the interaction and engaging with our partners and the citizens of our communities,â€? Kolody told the Nickel Belt News when he replaced former commanding ofďŹ cer Kevin Brousseau in late June. “I really want to ensure that that message gets out. Our ofďŹ cers, they come from varied backgrounds throughout the country and then they arrive here in Manitoba in our communities and it’s really important for them to get engaged in the community so they’re visible and they’re well known. I think that’s how the whole trust starts developing.â€?

Kolody grew up in Windsor, Ontario and then spent more than two decades with the RCMP in Alberta before coming to Manitoba in 2004 so he knows what it’s like to start a new life in new surroundings. “I came from Alberta after spending just over 20 years in Alberta in “K�

Division in various areas up in the north and the Grande Prairie region and then down in the south part of the province, primarily in drugs and the proceeds of crime world, organized crime and then in 2004 I came out here and I headed up the Integrated Proceed of Crime Unit. I’ve been very fortunate and we’ve made

RCMP apprehend suspected bootleggers

it our home now,� Kolody said. “My wife is here and our three children are all here and they’re Manitobans now and very proud of that because when I arrived here we didn’t know anyone so Manitoba has really embraced us.�

Kolody has held several roles since arriving in the province, including ofďŹ cer in charge of contracts and aboriginal policing, district commander for eastern Manitoba and was the ofďŹ cer in charge of criminal operations since 2012. He says one of the challenges in Manitoba is the vast difference in geography that RCMP ofďŹ cers face depending upon where they’re stationed in the province. “We have our larger municipal communities that we police but we also have a lot of isolated remote communities, we have our indigenous communities, First Nations communities and then right down to our rural and farming areas, those down in the south along the border,â€?

Kolody says. “You have all the communities that are around the perimeter, around the city of Winnipeg, so quite varied and widespread geographically so members sure get a wide breadth of experience when they come into this province. They have to really be culturally sensitive and be aware of traditions and cultures and really be in tune with that.�

And while there are challenges involved with postings in remote communities, the commanding ofďŹ cer says there are

rewards as well. “You talk to our ofďŹ cers who have experienced some of our northern remote communities, they really enjoy it and we want to continue to showcase that and really encourage our younger members to experience that and get out there,â€? Kolody says. “Sometimes that can be a challenge when you don’t have all the services and amenities that maybe a big city can offer but I think that the beauty and the way of life in some of those communities that are a little bit more difďŹ cult to get to really present a lot of opportunities and experiences for our ofďŹ cers down the road and we want to encourage that even more so.â€?

Kolody says he wanted to be an RCMP ofďŹ cer since he was a child and that attending the RCMP Musical Ride in Windsor with his father played a critical role in him following that dream. “I think that’s when i got hooked,â€? he says. “I was just always very impressed with the RCMP, the uniform, and as I got older I learnt more about their roles and responsibilities. I guess the romance of it all really resonated with me and I was fortunate enough to get accepted and go. It’s been an amazing career.

I never looked back and I’m very excited in this role now to work with our communities and really see if we can make this a better place for Manitobans, improve on our policing service during my time in here and I’m very recep-

RCMP “Dâ€? Division Commanding OfďŹ cer Scott Kolody tive to how we can improve our service in the next few years. It’s very humbling to have received this role and I’m very proud of the organization but now I sure feel that I have to repay and really absorbing the accountability that I have for the citizens of Manitoba and really telling them who I am but also listening to them as well.â€?

Putting Canadians first MP Report Ashton.N@parl.gc.ca

Niki Ashton During this first session of Parliament, the NDP has shown it is the only party Canadians can trust to fight for fairness and stand up for them.

1. Pay equity: The NDP succeeded in getting Parliament to recognize pay equity as a human right and the government’s agreement to introduce pay equity legislation.

2. Democratic reform: When talks to fix our elec-

toral system were going nowhere, the NDP secured a fair process that represents all parties - giving every Canadian a voice at the table.

3. Hard-hit workers: The NDP helped pressure the government to extend EI benefits to Canadians in hard-hit regions in Western Canada.

4. First Nations: The NDP successfully secured new investment in mental

health services for First Nations communities and continued to champion the call of First Nations youth for government action.

5. Charter rights: When the law on assisted dying was deemed unconstitutional by experts and courts across Canada, the NDP proposed clear solutions to fix it and protect Canadians’ rights.

6. Good jobs: When the Liberals moved to allow the outsourcing of aerospace jobs by Air Canada, the NDP fought hard to keep good jobs in Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal.

7. Dairy farmers: The NDP fought for dairy producers by pushing to ban the unfair use of imported American milk proteins that cost Canadian farmers over $200 million a year.

8. Marijuana: While the Liberals drag their feet on marijuana legalization, the NDP pushed to immediately decriminalize pot so that no Canadian is ever again burdened with a criminal record for personal use.

9. Tax evasion: With revelations of widespread abuse of tax havens, the NDP put hardworking Canadians ahead of the wealthy and well-connected by spearheading parliamentary hearings and pushing for a public inquiry.

10. Environment: New Democrats continue to demand Liberals keep their promise to fix environmental assessments so that Canadians can be heard, their concerns addressed and communities protected.

Putting Canadians first ... each and every day!

Acceptance goes much deeper than tolerance Words, what wonderful things! They allow us to express love, care and any number of beautiful thoughts with imagery or simple truth. One of the things we enjoy about words is their flexibility.

We have the ability to repurpose them to enhance meaning, fill out an idea or modify each other to communicate something in a unique way. Unfortunately, what we love about words also can create misunderstandings, conflict and hurt. Like any great tool, whether hammer for building or gun for hunting, words when used properly can do great things like build a house or feed a family. They can also be used to tear down and destroy.

With that all said let

us consider two words which in their usage have a multiplicity of meaning that deepens with understanding. Consider what is written on this page and where you stand in regards to what is truth. The words we will look at are tolerance and acceptance.

Tolerance is often promoted as a great ideal we should grow in our world today. Tolerance is to indulge, put up with or endure a person. It is passive. In the way it is often used today there is an idea promoted that to tolerate means more than that. Today the word tolerate is to agree that whatever you are putting up with is also good or at least OK. When people lecture others about being tolerant it is not usually enough to indulge some

Spiritual Thoughts generaldirector.mcl@gmail.com Morgan Serger action or endure some activity. They are looking for more than that. The message is that we must accept the action as good and reasonable. I believe that this misses the mark.

Acceptance is proactive, it takes the initiative and looks deeper to extend regard, honour and esteem.

Acceptance is looking past the actions of anyone and seeing their worth, not because what they have done or are doing, but because

God has made them and loves them no matter what.

There are many people who believe that they are their actions, that they cannot be other than what they do. If that is hard to understand consider the following. If you were abused, hurt and broken does that mean your identity is stuck there? No! God, our maker, can also be our remaker. He heals the broken and lifts up those who are stuck.

God calls out to us through

Midwestern Legislative Conference well worth the trip I’m happy to be back in Canada and especially in Northern Manitoba after attending the four-day, 71st annual Midwestern Legislative Conference in Milwaukee, Wis., this past week. The conference involved many of our new Manitoba government‚Äôs members of the legislative assembly and some MLAs from the other side of the chamber, along with Canadian government representatives from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario.

We met with American state senators and state representatives from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and

MLA Report kelly.bindle@leg.gov.mb.ca

Kelly Bindle Wisconsin. Conferences, presentations and roundtable discussions were held to identify unique and common challenges, goals and solutions that affect us on both sides of the border.

The issues ranged from water availability, quality, infrastructure and treatment to economic diversification, early childhood development and education, Alzheimer’s disease

policies, restorative justice principles and addictions.

There was an informative presentation on the Zika virus as well as a visit to the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and a presentation on the effects of invasive species such as zebra mussels and how they are affecting freshwater lakes in Canada and the U.S.

It was an intense four days packed with sessions, and a valuable opportunity to meet, foster relationships and exchange ideas with government representatives from across much of North America.

It was well worth the trip for me, and for the several other Progressive Conservative caucus members who went. This has been an enjoyable experience and I look forward to sharing and promoting many of the concepts discussed at the conference with colleagues and stakeholders to improve the lives of residents of the Thompson constituency, other Northern Manitobans and people throughout our province.

His Son Jesus, “Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” While we were enemies, living in sin and disobedience, God sent His Son Jesus to accept us, everyone! He did not just tolerate us. Imagine a God that just tolerates all the brokenness and actions that cause brokenness.

An afterlife or heaven filled with this tolerance would be just as broken as the world today. Now imagine a heaven filled with acceptance where God is calling out to everyone, “Come to me, I will pay the price of making all sin and brokenness go away. Just believe

me and the sacrifice I have made.”

Acceptance goes much deeper than tolerance. Acceptance is the ability to communicate value, regard, worth and respect to others. It is to make people feel significant, honoured and esteemed. What better way than for one to give up His life for us. Go to Jesus, He accepts us just as we are and will remake us as we ought to be. Jesus is the door to healing both now and forever of hurt and of sin. He is the Way. Morgan Serger is the general director of MidWay Christian Leadership on Cree Road in Thompson.

Snow Lake Chamber of Commerce first Chuck Davidson Golf Day The Snow Lake Chamber of Commerce’s first Chuck Davidson Golf Day kicked off at the Snow Lake Golf Course at 11:30 a.m. June 24, with the man himself in attendance and at centre stage in the clubroom.

Prior to introducing Davidson to the 40 or so people in attendance, chamber president Gerard Lamontagne gave an overview of the day and why it carried the former Snow Laker’s name. “It came about as something to honour Chuck Davidson, who is one of Snow Lake’s favourite sons,” said Lamontagne in his intro. “Chuck’s had a hell of a career in Manitoba politics. He was the reason the Snow Lake chamber got started up again and it’s been a success thus far.

This has definitely been because of the guidance of Chuck and the help we get from him so this day is to honour you buddy!”

With that, chamber secretary Peter Purves presented Davidson with a framed black and white Garry Zamzow photograph of Wekusko Falls.

Nickel Belt News photo by Marc Jackson From left to right, Chuck Davidson, Gerard Lamontagne and Peter Purves. when I came in, the first one I want to get up and running is in Snow Lake.

That was important to me.

Seeing what the chamber has been doing here and starting a tournament like this, it’s really the Snow Lake tournament, and if I can come up and support it, that’s something I would do as a regular occurrence.

“A big part of what I get to do in my job is go around the province and talk to business owners, make sure that the importance of the business community, as well as the community itself is front and centre.

Northern Manitoba has always been a special place for me, it doesn’t matter where I am, who I’m talking to, if I’m giving a speech and someone asks where

I’m from, it’s Snow Lake.

Nobody knows where it is, but I always talk about the great opportunities growing up here.”

He said that growing up in the community formed his work ethic and that took him to where he is today. Davidson also paid tribute to his late father Pat Davidson, saying that he really would have enjoyed the day and the opportunity to spend time in the company of friends. He closed by stating that he hoped everyone had a great day of golf. “Continue to support your chamber,” he said, noting that he had a productive meeting earlier with the town in respect to the community’s potential and how the Manitoba chamber can help them reach it.

Lamontagne thanked Davidson for his words and the people in attendance for their support of the first Chuck Davidson Golf Day. As an event, the day was more about camaraderie than winners and losers.

“A day to have fun out on the course,” secretary Peter Purves described it. “It was open to both chamber members and non-members. It was a day to get out, and through the use of a bestball format, let everyone of any skill level come out and just have some fun on our local course. Boasting aside, there were in fact no trophies, pronouncements, or announcements after the game as we wanted to keep with the format of a fun day on the course.”

Nevertheless, there was a putting contest. It was in the form of a 50/50 draw. The golfer had three balls to putt from a distance of 30 feet. The total distance from the hole to any ball left unsunk was tallied and the lowest distance won half of the money collected. “There was some fine shooting and there were three golfers who managed to hole one of their three putts,” said Purves who administered the event. “But it was a late entry who managed to drain one putt and stick the other two at a total distance of 44 inches from the cup to take the prize. The winner was none other than our local golfing guru Terry Hornyak.”

Andersons receive ‘pointed’ recognition “Where are they biting?”

It is a reoccurring question that is answered with two simple words … “Anderson Point.” If you live in Snow Lake, or visit often, you know the point of which I speak. It is as much a part of local fishing lore as it is part of our geography.

To the left of Snow Lake’s Sunset Bay Beach, there is a small outcrop that is characterized by a smooth rock that subtly slopes to the water’s edge. The bottom is relatively sandy in the area and anywhere from three to four metres deep. On a lake that features landmarks such as Purple Sandy, Sock Island and Jack Nutts, a name like Anderson Point isn’t out of the ordinary.

For those who didn’t know, Purple Sandy got its name from the garnetladen sand that washes up on a natural beach located on the southwest shore of the lake. Sock Island got its name from the windsock that was put up on it to show wind direction back in the 1960s and ‘70s. Jack Nutts was the old abandoned scheelite mine at the extreme north end of the lake. But Anderson Point

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com … well, it was named for the family who lived in the three-bedroom bungalow on the north corner of Copper Road.

Ken and Hilda Anderson raised seven children in the house at 213 Copper Road – they have lived there since the late ‘60s. “We moved here with the family in 1968, I bought the house maybe two years before that,” said Ken Anderson.

Anderson worked for CNR at Wekusko Siding as a section foreman for five or so years prior to moving his family first to The Pas for school. A short time later, they moved again, this time to Snow Lake, where the

Say it in

children all grew up while Ken worked as a miner for HBM&S until his retirement some years back.

Both Ken, who was born in Port Nelson, Manitoba, and his wife Hilda, born in Brochet, Manitoba, are lifelong northerners.

Hilda Anderson revealed that she actually went to school in Herb Lake, the small abandoned gold mining community to the east of Snow Lake. “I went to school there for about three years off and on,” she said.

“The first time I went there was in 1942, the last time for my Grade 8.”

Hilda says that the small cape of land some 30 metres from their back door became known as Anderson Point shortly after they moved to Snow Lake in ’68. “The kids were around then,” said Hilda noting the proclivity of children to put names to features as they play.

The point has been known as Anderson ever since and it has become

so engrained locally that the outcrop has even been labeled Anderson Point in tourist magazines.

Being known as Anderson Point in every aspect except the official one, it was felt the time had arrived to confirm that last detail. So, shortly after noon on Friday, July 1, the Town of Snow Lake’s Coun.

Robin Turnbull gathered with the Andersons and a small crowd of onlookers to unveil a temporary sign and cut the ribbon on Anderson Point. In doing so, Turnbull stated the following “In honour of the decades that local residents Ken and Hilda Anderson resided on Copper Road, the Town of Snow Lake is pleased to have unanimously passed Resolution #219/16 declaring this area Anderson Point.

Both Ken and Hilda are pioneers of the area. Hilda resided and went to school in Herb Town in the 1940s and the couple were residents at Wekusko Siding

prior to moving to Snow Lake. Anyone who knows Ken and Hilda would know they are kind, generous and unassuming people people that this community is proud of. Therefore be it resolved that Anderson Point will now be officially recognized.”

Asked what the naming means to the couple, “A lot,” answers Hilda with a chuckle. “Especially the kids, they were very happy.” Husband Ken concurs, and the couple was

pleased that one of their sons and a granddaughter made it back for the dedication. Hilda advises that she has made a copy of the official declaration for each of her children and fancied it up with a piece of ribbon and a photo of the event … ready for framing.

Both Ken and Hilda can now look out their back door at the point that has carried their name for the past 48 years knowing today it is officially recognized as such.

Finger follies

BY DANIEL MCSWEENEY Since moving to England, I have been reminded that an innocent finger or hand gesture in Canada might mean something else in the United Kingdom.In spite of a few such unintended “finger follies” here, I have escaped the bum’s rush out of stores and railway stations.

Back home, my extension of a finger or two is always meant to be friendly. (Well, almost always.) It’s an expression of approval or a way of offering numerical clarification. It’s not that simple though if you use the exact same gestures here in the U.K. Even ordering a couple of railway tickets is fraught with danger.

The other day I asked for two return tickets to Birmingham. I thought the seller couldn’t hear me through the glass barrier, so I zipped up two fingers - an attempt on my part to offer clarification.

The look on the ticket agent’s face was priceless.

“Hey mate,” he said.

“No need to be rude.”

My chin dropped, and Sandra quickly bailed me out from my two-finger folly.

“Don’t mind him, he’s

Canadian,” she said.

That “Canadian” declaration has come in quite handy living here in England. We use it when trying to sort out currency, when we can’t understand a thick Brummie accent or when we are scolded for walking on the cycling side of a park path.

It turns out that raising two fingers with knuckles in someone’s face is equivalent to “flipping the bird” in North America. Two fingers up with palm forward means you want two of something, or perhaps it’s an iconic Churchillian gesture of “V” for victory. I just never seem to get it right. Neither did former U.S. President George H. Bush when he made a diplomatic visit to Australia. Nor did former President Richard Nixon in Brazil. Such are the nature of so-called reflexive responses.

I once made an inappropriate hand gesture neither rude nor geography-related.

It happened when a friend in Canada invited me to waterski. As a downhill skier, I figured it should be easy.

The dynamics and body muscles used for waterskiing, though, are quite

different from skiing down a mountain. By the time I had finished my first run around the lake, my back ached and my arms were ready to fall off.

As we neared the dock, my friend slowed the boat and flashed me a smile to see if I was OK. I thought the pain on my face would offer him a clue. Just to be sure, I raised my right hand, extended my thumb pointing towards the shore. That’s not the way he interpreted my signal. It looked a lot to him like a thumbs up.

I felt like a marathoner crossing the finish line only to be told “one more time around.”

So he gunned the boat engine and we blasted off for another painful loop.

And while it would have been easy to just let go of the tow rope, my male vanity got in the way. For the next few days, I could barely move. It would be the first and last time I ever waterskied. There are much better ways to get knackered.

The United Kingdom is a land of canals, waterways used for both recreation and trade and commerce. There are

Daniel McSweeney “tow paths” along these waterways where horses once pulled cargo laden boats. Today though, the tow paths are ideal for walking, jogging and cycling.

I heard on the BBC this morning that people are suggesting tow path users extend greater courtesy to each other, perhaps offering greetings and having friendly chats. I agree – it’s a wonderful idea that appeals to polite

Canadians like us.

My worry though is that a conversation might lead to a question about how long we plan to live in England.

Because the answer is two years, I might involuntarily zip up two fingers to make my point. And in doing so, I might end up in the canal.

Sandra would have to haul me out and yet again mutter those familiar words:

“Don’t mind him, he’s Canadian.”

Dan McSweeney, a Halifax native, first worked as a reporter at the old Halifax Herald, then got a taste of public relations work at Canadian National Railway in Moncton, before coming to Thompson in 1980 to work for Inco. He retired back home to Bridgewater on Nova Scotia’s south shore in June 2007 after 27½ years with Inco here. He blogs at mcsweeneysdiversion.wordpress. com.

Governments and indigenous leaders discussing next phase of missing and murdered women inquiry

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Manitoba indigenous leaders are urging the provincial government to commit to participating in the national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women, but the government - along with Canada’s other provinces and territories is examining the terms of reference before signing off.

The federal government provided the provinces and territories with the terms of reference in June, leaving those governments just a few weeks to review and approve them before the end of last month, which was when the second phase of the inquiry was originally proposed to begin. The federal government wants the inquiry to have the authority to make recommendations concerning provincial and territorial jurisdictions which requires the consent of the provincial and territorial governments.

Manitoba Justice Minister Heather Stefanson told the Canadian Press in June that her government might have concerns about the inquiry looking into Manitoba’s child welfare system and repeating work previously done by the provincial auditor general in an inquiry

into the 2005 murder of fiveyear-old Phoenix Sinclair.

Premier Brian Pallister told the CBC that his government thought it would be a missed opportunity if one of the inquiry commissioners wasn’t from Manitoba, though it wasn’t necessarily a deal-breaker if it didn’t.

Premiers were due to meet leaders of five national aboriginal organizations in the Yukon July 20.

Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief for Manitoba Kevin Hart said in a news release June 30 that Manitoba should fully support and participate in the national inquiry.

“This crucial inquiry, a process that has been commended on the national stage at the United Nations and beyond, has been fought for by many families, political leaders, advocacy groups and activists,” said Hart. “Now is not the time for political posturing on the backs of the families affected by this national tragedy. I am not only concerned but deeply offended that this government would be resistant to cooperating as this process gets underway.”

Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Grand Chief Sheila North Wilson and

War Lake First Nation Chief Betsy Kennedy met with Stefanson, Manitoba Indigenous Affairs Minister Eileen Clarke as well as Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) Grand Chief Derek Nepinak, Southern Chiefs Organization Grand Chief Terry Nelson and Manitoba Metis Federation President David Chartrand in Winnipeg July 19 to discuss the province’s role in the inquiry.

“Keeping friends and family of missing and murdered woman and girls in mind, I encouraged the province to not hesitate in committing to participate in a national inquiry,” said North Wilson in a press release.

“Reminding the ministers that the families have carried the burden of the issue for too long and that we as governments and leaders now have to do our part to seek justice and answers for the affected families and friends.”

She also said that the terms of reference didn’t go far enough and should “look specifically at the effects indifferent or ineffective policing have had on the families of the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls, and that the culture of policing,

based on colonial legacies, past legislation and policies, continues to have disastrous personal and collective impacts on First Nations and the underlying gender-based causes of murdered and missing indigenous women and girls including the effects of multiple generations of poverty.”

Nepinak said in a July 20 press release that the Manitoba child welfare system and the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls were linked.

“The most violent act that you can commit to a person regardless of gender, is to take away their child or children,” he said. “This sense of loss directly contributes to the number of people we are losing from our communities due to violence or tragedy. AMC has responded in a meaningful way by initiating the Bringing Our Children Home and Families First community engagement processes followed by diligently implementing the recommendations. When we have over 11,000 children trapped in the CFS (Child and Family Services) system and 90 per cent are indigenous, we

cannot allow jurisdictional safeguards to be used to prevent a full discussion on the factors contributing to missing or murdered family members. This means we

should be open to the need to revisit some areas that the province of Manitoba might feel are adequately being addressed under provincial processes.”
