BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Merv and Lynda Gunter, founders of Frontiers North Adventures, will receive a Canadian Tourism Lifetime Achievement Award Nov. 26 at the Canadian Tourism Awards Gala in Ottawa.

The Gunters founded the eco-tourism company in 1987 after living in Churchill for four years in the early 1980s. Frontiers North Adventures grew from having

one staff member at that time to a company with 15 year-round employees and up to 50 seasonal staff, and specializes in wildlife viewing.

“It is a huge honour to be recognized by our industry peers with this award.

We are humbled to say the least,” said Lynda Gunter in a press release. “It makes us look back to where we started from - wanting to share the amazing things

Churchill has to offer with those first hardy souls who wished to travel north, to where we are today, taking thousands of international visitors from all over the globe to experience one of the most unique and beautiful places in Canada’s north.

Seeing the expressions of awe and sometimes tears of joy on our guests’ faces when they experience what the north has to offer is what gave us energy all

those years ago and what keeps us energized and successful today.”

The founders passed the leadership of the company down to their son John Gunter, who operated the company with them for many years, but Merv and Lynda Gunter continue to be actively involved in the business.

“I can’t think of anyone who deserves this award more,” said John Gunter,

Frontiers North Adventures president and CEO. “I’ve watched Merv and Lynda build Frontiers North Adventures from the ground up, and I am honoured to carry on their legacy by taking over leadership this year. I hope to model the work ethic, passion and creativity I saw in them as I lead the company into even further growth.”

Canadian Tourism Lifetime Achievement awards

are presented by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada at its annual awards gala during the association’s Tourism Congress and recognize people who have devoted their energy, service and talent towards the growth of the Canadian tourism industry and who combine leadership, vision and innovation with a foundation of strong values and sound business strategies.

Jimmy Rankin plays Snow Lake’s Lawrie Marsh

Marc Jackson

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com 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 disappointed; 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 before and during the performance, 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 introduction from the Arts Council’s Sylvia Zamzow.

They began the show softly and Rankin and Robinson’s harmonies 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 strummer 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 performer long to warm up to the audience; after the first two songs he seemed eager to engage and even had a little back and forth with the crowd. This was evidenced by his rebuttal to someone in the hall stating, “You’re not really gonna play the Gibson now are you? ” “They’re both Gibsons,” he promptly responded.

After Rankin’s opening set, which ran about 45 minutes, he and Rob-

This gave folks a chance to grab a quick beer, glass of wine, or a coffee. During the break, folks from the Arts Council took the opportunity to make a 5050 draw they’d sold at the outset of the event. They announced the winner from the stage and Maurice Nogier proved that even if his Canadiens have to work hard to buy their wins, all he had to do was plop down his five bucks.

Moe went home with a cool $215 in his pocket.

The second set began a bit up tempo from the first and this was dialed up even more as the show progressed. By the time Rankin started into the beginning 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 catalogue of music and there were many attending on this night who shared his maritime roots.

As the music got louder and faster, the old Lawrie 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 pleasing to the ear.

When the performer

and his accompanist finally came to the end of their presentation, the crowd showed their collective gratitude and clapped, whistled, and whooped till he offered up an encore. He’d obviously contemplated this final 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 another rousing round of applause, 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 finish 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 suitable venue. It should also be mentioned that the members of the Aurora Borealis Arts Council once again outdid themselves.

The shows this fine group brings to our little town are always top notch and this one was certainly indicative of that. They deserved some of the applause rendered on this night as well. Bravo.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

HERITAGE NORTH MUSEUM Date: Thursday, November 27, 2014 Time: 7:00 pm Location: Heritage North Museum 162 Princeton Drive Thompson, Manitoba

To consider the business that is usually brought before the annual meeting.

New Board Members Are Always Welcome!

Our Home Kikinaw

has a great opportunity for a family to own their first home!

I have come to Thompson at the end of June 2014 to be the pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. This is the first time I write here and I thought it would be proper to share about myself.

I began life as an atheist, later on I became a religious person believing 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 indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit who works with one’s inner resources gradually, climbing upwards on what is already present.

A time came and in my walk with Christ there was stillness, a steady place. I was an informed, educated, prayerful, devout Christian. Was I able to put into practice everything 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

Spiritual Thoughts mkuntel@shaw.ca

Pastor Mural Kuntel “I am right” was my bitter comfort and my trap.

Jesus was crucified and He prayed for those who crucified Him, “Father forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing.” 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 righteous shoes of Jesus which only He is qualified 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 disappointed 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 attempting 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 successfully achieved. All the while perhaps some of them were even praying 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 dependant 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 suddenly became alive and practical 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 except by me” (John 14:6).

God’s comfort into our lives comes when our vision about ourselves and life is confronted by the goodness and grace of Jesus Christ and finds its proper place. God’s comfort 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 dependence 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.

Expanding all-weather road access We are expanding allweather road access in Manitoba.

This past week the Bloodvein River Bridge was officially opened by Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Minister Eric Robinson, minister responsible for the East Side Road Authority With the completion of the new bridge, residents will now have year-round road access to the provincial road network. This will help to reduce the cost

of goods and services, increase access to health and social services, and provide new economic opportunities for the community.

Having all-weather road access will make a huge difference to the community.

Bloodvein is now the first of many communities that will eventually be linked to the rest of the province through the allseason road project. At the same time, the project

MLA Report ashton@mts.net Steve Ashton is also creating hundreds of jobs and training opportunities.

To date, four new bridges 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 Robinson 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 created for road and bridge projects on the all-season road project. The ESRA has also entered in community benefits agreements (CBAs) with each of the 13 east side First Nation communities for pre-construction work.

Expanding all-weather road access.

A priority for Northerners.

A priority for our government.

Violence against women a national problem The Harper government continues to ignore the systemic problem of violence against women, particularly aboriginal women.

This week I raised the issue in Question Period in the House of Commons.

The following is the question I raised.

MP Report Ashton.N@parl.gc.ca Niki Ashton nipeg. Because of her incredible strength and the support of her family and her friends she is getting better.

But until Canadians as a whole address violence 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, support 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 problem.

It is time for action.

Half of drivers outside Quebec still not on winter tires: Survey Belief that all-seasons “are good enough” the most common reason for not using winter tires, despite proven safety and performance benefits Outside Quebec, where winter tire use is mandated 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 drivers if they had used winter tires this past winter.

Excluding Quebec, the poll found that winter tire usage is highest in Atlantic Canada (73 per cent) followed by Ontario (56 per cent), Alberta (45 per cent), Manitoba and Saskatchewan (39 per cent) and British Columbia (38 per cent).

Many drivers cling to the idea that all-season tires offer sufficient traction and braking capabilities 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 winter tires is a clear threat to road safety,” says Glenn Maidment, president of the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC), which represents tire makers. “Today’s hightech winter tires dramatically 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 remains strong.”

The Quebec experience A study released by the Quebec government in 2011 found that winter road-accident injuries had dropped by five per cent in the province since winter tire use was made mandatory 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 injuries due to road accidents.

These findings are supported by a recent report from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) that concludes that winter tires provide superior traction, braking and cornering in all cold-weather driving conditions whether the road surface is dry, wet, icy or snow-covered.

Shorter stopping distances Superior braking is one of the primary safety features of today’s advanced technology winter tires.

The TIRF report cites research which indicates that on dry pavement at temperatures just below freezing, stopping distances for vehicles with winter tires are as much as 30 per cent shorter than for vehicles with all-season tires. The report also concludes 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 information about the performance benefits of winter tires by visiting www. tracanada.ca and clicking

Improved fuel economy 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 reduce fuel consumption by as much as five 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 premiums 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 roadways safer through greater use of winter tires. MPI recently announced that it would provide Manitoba drivers with low-cost loans for the purchase and installation of qualifying winter tires. Motorists seeking more information on this low-cost loan program can visit www.mpi.mb.ca.

Proper tire inflation Drivers should pay particular attention to proper tire inflation during the winter months. Under-inflated tires have a smaller footprint, which weakens their grip. The result is diminished braking and handling characteristics, along with higher fuel consumption due to increased rolling resistance.

Tire pressures can fluctuate widely in winter, particularly when temperatures fall rapidly. Every five degree decrease in temperature results in a loss of about one psi in air pressure. A temperature drop of 15°C, for example, typically results in a 10 per cent loss of inflation.

During the coldweather months, tire pressures should be measured at least once a month using a reliable tire gauge. If the tire is found to be underinflated, the pressure should be adjusted to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended level.

The right pressure can be found in the owner’s manual or on the vehicle information placard normally 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.

Methodology A survey of 1,002 Canadian motorists was completed online between April 7 and April 11, 2014, using Leger’s, LegerWeb panel. A probability sample of the same size would yield a margin of error of ± 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

About the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada The Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC) is the national trade association representing tire makers, rubber products manufacturers and importers as well as rubber recyclers and suppliers of goods and services related to the industry.

TRAC is committed to educating drivers about proper tire care and maintenance. A key advocacy goal in the coldweather months is to raise awareness about safe
