Gull Bay removes road closure to mine Road to Lac Des Iles mine open after community, company sign letter of intent G U L L B AY

was signed by Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek – Gull Bay First Nation and the company. Members of the community had erected an encampment on the road, just off Highway 527, last Thursday as they exer cised their inherent rights on their traditional land and prohibited vehicles from passing through. The blockade came to an end Tuesday morning, when Gull Bay Chief Wilfred King and North American Palladium formally signed off on the process to finalize an agreement. “The mine has met all of our demands and we’re in the process now of developing a participation agreement. We’re hoping to have that concluded in two months,” King said to TBT News. King did not provide details of their deal citing confidentiality, but said respect for the First Nation was a major issue. Provincial deputy ministers had also attended the site earlier this week. Company officials said secondary access

"We look forward to continuing our discussions to advance our relationship. We would also like to thank the Ontario Provincial Police liaison unit for their
excellent mediation of the event,” said Jim Gallagher, president and chief executive officer of North American Palladium, in a statement. The mine, located north of Thunder Bay, has been in operation for 25 years. More than one million tonnes were mined during the first quarter of 2018.

As a young man, Dennis discovered his love of gardening, working alongside his parents on their farm. It was his father, Buck, who encouraged Dennis to build his own greenhouse and sell bedding plants. Together they built Creekside’s very first greenhouse, a small, 24’X 48’, wooden structure, which opened for business in 1974. A lot has changed over 4 decades, but Dennis’ steadfast commitment to growing quality plants and providing excellent customer service has remained the same. Quality and service. These were the things his father taught him and Dennis is forever grateful. “If it wasn’t for my father, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” says Dennis.

Liberal MPP lost in the Thunder Bay Atikokan riding to Judith Monteith Farrell of the Ontario NDP. It was a very close race, with Mauro and MonteithFarrell exchanging the lead most of the night and often only separated by a handful of votes. But after 11:30 p.m. with all 73 polls reporting, MonteithFarrell finished the night with 11,793 votes, 81 more votes than Mauro's 11,712. “I’m feeling very happy and excited. I’m sure the adrenalin – maybe I’ll get some sleep now, at least tonight until tomorrow morning,” MonteithFarrell said after learning of her victory. “I’m sure it will be very exciting and chal lenging.”

CLOSE CALL: NDP candidate, Judith Monteith-Farrell celebrates her win on Election Day. MonteithFarrell has worked as a union representative for the Public Service Alliance of Canada for the last 25 years. During the campaign, she said one of her top priorities if elected would be improving health care and securing more funding for health care profes
sionals. “You work with parties, you work in committees and you work to influence change on many levels,” Monteith Farrell said. “The work of an MPP is very much about getting the voice of your area heard and you do that in a
variety of ways. We’ll be a very strong opposition to Mr. Ford.” During a speech to his supporters, Mauro congratulated MonteithFarrell on her campaign and victory. “I congratulate Judith and the NDP,” he said. “We had other battles in the past. Today was their turn. I wish her well. It’s not easy work.” Mauro was first elected in 2003, beating out NDP candidate John Raftery by more than 11,000 votes. He would square off with Rafferty again in 2007 and win by a margin of 50 votes. Mauro became a minister under the government of Kathleen Wynne in 2014
when he took over the portfolio of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Most recently, he was appointed the minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. Mauro said the accomplishments he is most proud of from his time in office include helping to bring cardiac surgery to Northwestern Ontario, the fourlaning of the highway, and keeping the coal plants open. As for what Mauro has planned for the future, he said he may give considera tion to a municipal run, but did not want to speculate on any decision at this time. With files from Matt Vis.

Gravelle withstands NDP challenge O N TA R I O E L E C T I O N By Matt Vis - TB Source
benches. Gravelle on Thursday secured his seventhstraight term in the provincial legislature, withstanding the toughest challenge of his career from the New Democrats' Lise Vaugeois to prevail by 819 votes, the slimmest margin of his 23 years he has been in elected office. The Thunder BaySuperior North riding had been claimed by the long time Liberal incumbent in every election since its inception prior to the 1999 vote. Gravelle had first been elected to the former Port Arthur riding in 1995. "There's no question this was the toughest campaign I've ever been a part of, of all seven of them, and I could feel it during the campaign," Gravelle said, initially reluctant to declare victory despite the race being called by some national media outlets, as well as Tbnewswatch.com. "The thousands of people I met at the doors and all across the riding were certainly telling me they wanted to see some change and they still supported me strongly, which was great." Through the majority of returns Gravelle had narrow leads that held steadily between 500 and 700, though it briefly dropped to below 400 votes with about 15 polls remaining before rebounding and finishing with the biggest edge he held all night. The anxiety felt by Gravelle and his supporters was similarly experienced over at the NDP camp by Vaugeois and her team.

It was an excel lent campaign and I'm proud of what we've accomplished." The latest victory brings Gravelle back to where he started his tenure in the provincial legislature as a member

of opposition in a Progressive Conservative majority government. With seven seats, the Liberals will lose official party status in the legislature. Thunder BayAtikokan's Bill Mauro was among the many longtime incum bents to suffer defeat. The overwhelming unanimity of pre election day polls showing an upcoming Liberal decimation prompted party leader Kathleen Wynne last weekend to publicly concede that her
party was not going to form govern ment and her tenure as premier was over. "I'm truly not sure what impact it had," Gravelle said of how Wynne's declaration might have been received in Thunder BaySuperior North. "Certainly people had varying reactions to it. I just continued to go and work hard based on the fact that I knew I wanted to continue to represent my constituents as strongly as I can." The now former minister of northern development and mines said we'll likely find out very quickly what kind of impact premierelect Doug Ford might have on many of the initiatives the Liberals were developing and imple menting in Northwestern Ontario. "There's many projects obviously that are hugely important to me as they are to my constituents, whether it's the four laning of the highway or it's the building of allseason road access to the Ring of Fire, whether it's health care or education, there's lots of issues that we have to focus on," Gravelle said. "I'm going to be working with (the new government) to try to see these projects move forward. I've got experi ence in opposition so I feel like that will be helpful to me and my constituents." Green Party candidate Amanda Moddejonge finished fourth with 838 votes, followed by the Northern Ontario Party's Andy Wolff, the Trillium Party's Louise Ewen and the Libertarian's Tony Gallo. Gravelle, a 69yearold cancer survivor who last year took a five month leave of absence as he battled depression, quickly shot down the possibility that this could be his final run and said he takes each campaign one at a time.

Editorial EDITORIAL
Trump and his tariffs .S. President Donald Trump has crossed a line. Already an embarrassment and the butt of jokes around the world, Trump sank to a new low this past weekend, lashing out at his country’s traditional allies following the G7 Summit in Quebec. He took special aim at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who stated Canada will not be bullied, in reaction to Trump’s decision to impose stiff tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from north of the border. On Tuesday, fresh off his summit with North Korean dictoator Kim Jong Un, Trump is promising to punish Canada for Trudeau’s remarks, saying “This is going to cost a lot of money for the people of Canada.” Just who the hell does Trump think he is? Canada is a sovereign nation, and doesn’t take orders from the likes of Donald J. Trump. You try to hurt our business, it’s our right to fight back. Trump’s problem is he sees himself as a feudal lord, and he demands fealty from the other world leaders. Guess what, Mr. President? We’re not taking a knee or kissing your ring. While carefully chosen retaliatory tariffs are a great start, why not hit Trump where it hurts him most? Why not impose a 1,000 per cent tariff on anything with the Trump brand. Maybe then he’d get the message.

FROM THE
HILL
anada is at its best when every body is included. Each one of us has attributes and abilities that make us unique and valuable. No two peo ple are the same. When people with disabilities are given the opportunity to fully contribute and participate in their communities and workplaces, we create a stronger country for everyone. That line of thinking was the driving force behind National AccessAbility Week, which was recently recognized from coasttocoasttocoast. The goal was to promote inclusion and accessi bility, celebrate the progress that has
C
been made, and get inspired to further break down barriers. During National AccessAbility Week, a call for proposals was opened for two funding streams under the Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF). The EAF provides funding for eligible capital projects that increase accessi bility for people with disabilities in communities and workplaces. This improves access to employ ment opportunities for those with disabilities and encourages them to participate in community activities, programs and services. The small projects (https://www.canada.ca/en/employ mentsocialdevelopment/services/fun ding/enablingaccessibilityfund smallprojects.html) stream provides grant funding of up to $100,000 per project to support small scale construction, and renovation or retrofit projects.
Proposals are being accepted until July 26, 2018. An exciting new stream is also being offered this year. The youth innovation component (https://www.canada.ca/en/employ mentsocialdevelopment/services/fun ding/enablingaccessibilityfund youthinnovation.html) empowers youth to identify accessibility barriers within their communities and work with local organizations to develop solutions to increase accessibility and safety in community spaces and work places. Proposals for the youth innovation stream will be accepted until Sept. 21, 2018. I am proud that Northwestern Ontario has actively taken part in ensuring our communities are acces sible and welcoming to all. Since 2015, more than $415,000 has gone towards 11 EAF projects here in
the riding. Red Lake, Dryden, Vermilion Bay, Pickle Lake, Kenora, Wabauskang First Nation and Naotkamegwanning (Whitefish Bay) First Nation have all received grants for projects to improve accessibility in their communities through the program. Canada has taken great strides in fostering an inclusive society for people with disabilities, but there is still work to be done. The government of Canada will take an important step by introducing accessibility legislation to eliminate barriers and ensure greater accessi bility and opportunities for Canadians with disabilities in areas under federal jurisdiction. I believe that by working together, we can all play a role in making Canada an even more accessible and inclusive place so that everyone has an opportunity to succeed.

Perspective
In other words By J.R. Shermack Special to TB Source
are no words to describe some of the mindboggling Tanticshere we see on the international stage these days. Have you ever been in a situation or witnessed something that left you absolutely speechless? People are often thunderstruck, flabbergasted, flummoxed and gobsmacked to such extremes that they are at a loss for words. I have seen newscasters and polit ical observers wringing their hands and crying as if to say (or not say), “Words cannot express.” But maybe the “indescribable” doesn’t defy description at all – maybe these horrified commenta tors just don’t know the right words. Our language is constantly changing but at any given time there are about a quarter million English words to choose from. Surely, some combination of “bon mots” can accurately describe the outrage and astonishment we expe rience almost daily. Words come and go and many fall out of use forever but some descrip tive phrases are like sophisticated fashions – they always come around again. Occasionally lost, dusty gems from the English language can be resurrected and revived to describe what is happening today. Paul Anthony Jones, an accom plished linguist, has personally taken on this task, a role he has been preparing for his whole life.
His grandparents gave him an Oxford’s dictionary when he was eight, which he read cover to cover like a Dr. Seuss story book. It fueled a passion for words and language that drove him to high achievement through education and his professional life. Today, as a career linguist his mission is to discover and reintro duce descriptive and often very colourful, lost language from the past. He rescues words from obscurity by scouring old books and slang dictionaries for interesting verbiage from years gone by. He then uses social media to coax these words and phrases into modern speech – a new one is tweeted daily. The result is a collection of newly available language and words guar anteed to reinvigorate any dumbstruck journalist with verbal vigor. Some of Mr. Jones’ suggestions from the past are surprisingly appro priate given today’s social and political climate. Terms like “snollygoster” which describes a shrewd, selfish, unprin cipled politician. The name is derived from an imaginary monster roaming the hills around Maryland and Washington DC. Words like “heterogenium”, which is the habit of avoiding a question by changing the subject altogether. And “abydocomist”, a baldfaced liar who actually boasts and brags
about lying. Stop me if this reminds you of anybody you’ve seen or heard lately. One of Mr. Jones’ favorites is “shivviness” – the uncomfortable feeling that occurs when wearing a new undergarment. Often when politicians speak, their listeners experience the feeling of shivviness as they uncomfortably shift from cheek to cheek. Another useful choice comes from 16th Century slang – a “lanspres sado” is that one person in the group who always forgets their wallet. As far as I know this is the earliest known reference to “deadbeats”. My personal favorite is “vestry” which, in a Cornish dialect refers to children smiling while they sleep. Just thinking about that poignant word puts a big vestry on my face. Another search for lost words is under way by a group of English Language historians. Their list includes useful terms like “fudgelling” (pretending to work but doing nothing) and “merrygosorry” (a mixture of joy and sorrow). And voted “lost word of the year” is this five centuries old gem, “betrump” (to deceive, cheat or elude). About 5400 new words enter the English language each year. With these resurrected lost words at my disposable I’m not speechless anymore but frankly, I still get overwhelmed. In other words, sometimes it all makes me feel totally “awhaped”.

everything.” The hostel also features a bike rental service named Get Our Gear Rentals which will encourage both guests and locals to experience the recreational side of Thunder Bay. “It will get our guests going in the right direction on how awesome Thunder Bay is,” Watson said. “That’s the main mandate of the hostel… to enjoy our area.” Watson says she hopes the hostel will help bridge a gap between the Bay and Algoma District, and Waterfront District. “We’re definitely a part of urban intensification, and bringing our areas together,” she said. “It’s also going to get people spending less on rooms, and more on what our awesome local businesses have to offer.”

ransformations don’t traditionally happen when you’re 100 years old, but that’s exactly what’s happening to the Chippewa TCarousel. On Friday, the Carousel Restoration Committee revealed four new horses, bringing it to a total of 14. The campaign, which began in February, is officially halfway through the restoration of 28 of the carousel horses. To date, they have raised just under half of their $900,000 goal. “[The response] has been phenomenal,” campaign chair of the committee Jules Tupker said. “There are all kinds of ways to donate to the campaign. We’re prepared to take any money.” The carousel, which was built between 1918 and 1920, was acquired by the former town of Fort William in 1934 when a trav elling carnival that had been in the community went bankrupt. Thunder Bay city council designated the carousel as a heritage property in 1991. Tupker says he’s motivated by a special connection to the carousel. He met his wife at Chippewa Park in the 1970s, and both of his kids were employed at the park in subsequent years. “Everybody I talk to has some relationship to this carousel,” Tupker said. “They’ve either been on it themselves, or their children, or grandchildren.” Of the sum already raised, $200,000 came from the city in December, and an additional $100,000 came from the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario. The committee has also confirmed a donor will support the restoration of the carousel’s Wurlitzer organ, which hasn’t operated in over 40 years. The restoration process is being done by Lisa Parr, a carousel restoration expert from Chicago. Tupker added he expects the work on the remaining 14 horses to begin in September. For more information on the restoration project or to donate, visit the capital campaign website.

The Local Law Enforcement Torch Run raises awareness and funds for Special Olympics T H U N D E R B AY

pecial Olympian, Tannia Falla, could barely contain her excitement about getting the opportunity to carry the torch along with her fellow athletes. “I’m going to have fun and do my best,” she said. “I am really excited. It feels exciting. Really exciting.” Falla was one of dozens of Special Olympic athletes who all got to carry the torch during the Local Law Enforcement Torch Run on Sunday around Chapples Park. The annual awareness campaign and fundraiser brings together athletes, law enforcement members, coaches, and the public to ensure Special Olympics Thunder Bay can continue to offer 18 different sports for local athletes. “By raising funds we are able to support the local Special Olympic program and they are able to run these programs and meet the needs of all the different individ uals, whether they are young or old, they
Lappe Lutheran Church really try to offer a yearround, well rounded programming,” said Julie Tilbury, zone coordinator for the Law Enforcement Torch Run. The run has been held in Thunder Bay for a long time, Tilbury added, and the Thunder Bay Police Service wanted to continue the tradition because of how important it is to the athletes. “It is a very strong community, it is growing leaps and bounds and having to fill up their programs,” she said. “Probably based on the fact that through the Law Enforcement Torch Run we’ve been running a lot of schoolbased programs. Athletes here will qualify for the different sports and qualify at the regional level, the provincial level, and hopefully go on to the national level.” The Special Olympic Games will be hosted by Thunder Bay in 2020 and while it provides local athletes an opportunity to compete in the sports they love, it also provides a lot more than just podium finishes and medals.
“It’s also their social activity,” Tilbury said. “It’s where their friends are, it gives them the supports they need to live in our community, and I think that’s a really special part of it.” For Falla, who participates in track and field, soccer, basketball, and bocce ball, playing, training, and competing fills her with positivity. “I like Special Olympics because it’s a lot of fun and I like my friends and I like my coaches,” she said. “I have so much and playing the games, playing soccer, and hanging out with my friends.” And that positivity found in all the athletes who cheered and clapped during the torch run is contagious, which is some thing Tilbury said she and members of the Police Service are very grateful to experi ence. “The athletes do more for us than we do for them,” she said. “Because you’ve never been in a more positive place and in our line of work, sometimes it’s nice to be there.”

Festival celebrates Indigenous culture Indigenous culture and history on display during annual Anishnawbe Keeshigun Festival THUNDER BAY By Michael Charlebois - TB Source oug Turner has always considered dancing to be an honour and a privi D lege. “It’s always a great opportunity to get out and show our pride,” Turner said. Turner performed a sneakup dance Saturday at Fort William Historical Park’s Annual Anishnawbe Keeshigun Festival. The festival engages visitors with, and promotes Indigenous culture. “Our culture is a lot about learning from our elders. This is a family event… and to see our youth following our footsteps and that’s a pretty awesome thing to see,” said Turner who says he teaches his threeyear old daughter dance in his spare time. The twoday festival features traditional activities such as dancing, wood carving, bannock making, fire lighting contests, and traditional sports.

It’s a really harsh thing nowadays, so to show them our traditions and ways we celebrate life, it helps people understand,” Turner said. Sandei Beattie, manager of business and enterprise services, says the park’s story is rooted in Indigenous history, and it gives
them a unique way to engage with Indigenous culture. “Indigenous people had a very important role to play in the fur trade, as well as the making of Canada. That’s the story we tell every day,” Beattie said. “So we take this opportunity every year and celebrate their contributions to the story we tell here.”

Special wedding photos taken at Casa Jones ell it went off without a hitch. The horse neither stepped on the W bride’s dress nor did he poop on the
groom’s shoes. We hosted a wedding photoshoot at our farm. The bride owns a horse that she boards at our stable. The bride is a young, effer vescent being who lights up any place she visits. The groom is a quiet, steady chap who helped me on numerous occa sions with my machines. He is, by trade, a heavy equipment mechanic a.k.a. at our farm, a godsend. About a month (or was it two?) ago they announced that they were getting married. Great. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving couple (I don’t get out much). Anyway, it came to pass that they requested that a large chunk of their wedding photos be taken at our property – bride, groom, best men, and the bridesmaids. Oh, and the bride’s horse was to be frontandcentre in this shoot. “They want to take shots in front of the main flower garden and in the outdoor riding ring facing the hills,” my wife,
FRED JONES RURAL ROOTS Laura announced. Oh. The outdoor riding ring was in very bad need of repair. Twentyyear old fence posts, many of which were either broken or rotten, and boards that had warped or were broken thanks to Bambi et co, over the winter, (no horses were in the ring at all) had to be replaced. The main flower garden was in desperate need of weeding; but what had been occupying our time was getting through ten cords of birch firewood – swing, splitting, and stacking. Now, that task had to be completed posthaste along with the other ‘fixits”. We did the deed, Doug and me, with the help of Big Red, my diesel tractor
‘ancien’. The new boards had to be stained so we trundled to town and bought the matching colour of the original stain. Daughter Beth spent several days in the heat, paint brush in hand, making the stage setting look good. The next task was to weed the over grown flower beds and cut the grass. Laura did the weeding; we both cut the grass. One day the week of the wedding, the bride’s father, Hugh, came to help having nothing to do. Hugh, it turns out, is a fellow canoe tripper and canoes through one of my old stomping grounds – Temagami, that has some of the best canoe tripping country in Canada. Hugh was a machine. He split, pushed the filled wheelbarrow to the wood pile and stacked – all day long. What a pal. And me? I was doing the chain sawing. We’d been “doing wood” for several weeks with both Doug, Beth, and my wife, Laura, taking turns split
ting and carrying the split pieces to stack on the woodpile. But Hugh’s contribution sped up the process a great deal for which we were very grateful. And I made a new friend. Too bad he lives in Ottawa; but I expect that he’ll be visiting here from time to time. The morning of the wedding shoot, I was madly completing the stacking process of the wood that Doug had split the previous night. The bark, wood chips, and sawdust left on the ground not far from where the garden photos were to be taken needed to be cleaned up. Again, Big Red and its bucket helped. Finally, the lawns needed mowing again! The wedding party was to show up at two in the afternoon. I began mowing at one. Now, normally it takes me about an hourandahalf to two hours to do a decent job of grass cutting. I have never mowed the grass so fast, ever! I was flying. I was drifting on corners. If there was a bump over which I had to pass, I was
airborn! I finished at five minutes to two, pant, pant. The wedding party was late thank goodness. Horsey was a bit perplexed at why he was being led to the garden and made to look at this person who was bobbing around (the photographer) when there was fresh grass at his feet. Then we all headed to the outdoor riding arena with me leading another quiet equine as company for that of the bride. The photo shoot was hitchfree with the weddingparty horse behaving very well. Then they all climbed into their respective vehicles and drove away. Later that evening in town, we joined the wellwishers at the wedding. We had a ball. The work had to get done. The lawns needed cutting; the outdoor riding ring needed repairing; and the flower beds needed weeding. And, as mentioned, the horse didn’t step on the bride’s dress and didn’t poop on the groom’s shoes. All is well.

y childhood was not, shall we say, typical. Few cartoons or childish shows; no highend expen sive new toys or lavish play sets. (I was the handmedown kid.) But what I had – that few of my friends could ever dream of – was black and white TV. Yes, there was a colour set in my parents’ bedroom. And if I was good, and was willing to rub my dad’s sore
back, I could watch The Incredible Hulk actually turn green, instead of grey. But even on a real colour TV, I saw more black and white than other kids – especially on the weekends. Saturday Night at the Movies was a staple in the Gardiner home. Consequently, I was confused come Monday morning when the kids at school had not seen The Man in the White Suit or known who Jimmy Stewart was. But with my dad, they were part of a wellrounded education. Through Saturday Nights with dad and Elwy Yost, I learned about Hitler, war, segregation, and The Depression. Afterward, dad would often try to discuss these topics with his wide eyed sevenyearold daughter before she could escape to her Lego’s, so that

While they hardly required the same post
game debriefing, it was clear. This was how I should live my life – with passion, with music, and with Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly. The ostrich feather dress was purely optional. The irony of the black and white movies was that their message was often just that: black and white. So while some may say these movies were a little too mature for me, the simplicity of their morality was often perfect for my young and impression able mind. Today’s movies and television allow for a lot of moral ambiguity. We question “who really is the bad guy?” as we argue both for and against every act and character flaw. No surprise many of today’s biggest hits have serial killers and drug dealers as the hero! So I have to wonder if those everpresent shades of grey are

And the small town boy always helped his neighbours – sometimes out of his own back pocket – espe cially if Mr. Potter was around. Perhaps dad was a little idealistic. Perhaps he was a bit of a throwback. Or perhaps he knew that life was going to get very complicated very fast and wanted to make sure I had a firm grasp of the basics before I grew up. Don’t worry dad. I got it. It was all there in black and white. In memory of Alan G. Gardiner (19312011) who had the honour and soul of the black and white, but lived his life in bright, bold colour.

TOUGH START: Thunder Bay Chill forward Ahmed Mohammed tries to fend off Des Moines Menace opponent Wilfred Williams at Fort William Stadium.
Chill melted by Menace Three secondhalf goals pave the way for Menace victory during Chill home opener SOCCER
By Matt Vis - TB Source n early season home loss against A their archrival seems to be a tra dition of late for the Thunder Bay Chill. For the third straight year, the Des Moines Menace travelled north and spoiled the Chill’s regular season home opener as a trio of second half goals broke open a previously score less affair en route to a 30 victory at Fort William Stadium on Friday night. Already starting the match without regulars Sullivan Silva, Mitchell Osmond and Sergio Campano, first half injuries – including one to home grown product Devan Hoier – forced early substitutions and challenged the home side’s depth.
Strong first half “The first half I thought we were doing very well. The team was compact. We were attacking, we were defending and felt good,” veteran midfielder Pedro Adan said. “Then all of the sudden, just like any sport, injuries started to happen. Credit to the guys who came in. We put in the
work but unfortunately we couldn’t see the back of the net.” Neither side was able to secure an advantage through the initial 45 minutes of the first contest of the campaign between last year’s two Heartland Division playoff squads, who each entered undefeated, as both teams were able to generate quality scoring chances but mostly seemed content to try to control possession. Des Moines quickly drew first blood out of the halftime recess in the 48th minute when Brandon Fricke was able to get his head on a Nicolas Clasen corner kick, finding the back of the net. Insurance was added 20 minutes later when dynamic Menace striker Austin Jepson, who in the first half had found the woodwork on one attempt and later sailed an open shot wide, was rewarded for those earlier efforts as a low burner eluded Chill keeper Matthew Mozynski. Thunder Bay nearly got on the board in the 73rd minute when a Menace defender headed a ball backwards towards their undefended goal, only for it to roll just wide of the post. Of the eight shots taken by the Chill, only two had to be handled by Des Moines keeper Keegan Meyer as he picked up the clean sheet. “They defended well. We created the problem we wanted to create but not with enough intensity. We
attacked the space we needed to attack but not with enough intensity and of course without enough quality,” Chill head coach Giovanni Petraglia said.
Struggled in second The Des Moines lead was increased on the last play before the final whistle, capitalizing on a Chill own goal as the ball found its way into the net off the foot of defender Kieran Ezzard. “We didn’t have the energy and quality enough to beat them and we have to accept the loss,” Petraglia said. “30 is maybe too much. We could have avoided the last goal but I believe 20 is a fair result for the outcome of the game.” Trying to recover from an early home loss to Des Moines has become familiar territory for the Chill, which last year rebounded from that defeat to march all the way to the league final. There’s no reason why that can’t happen again, Adan insisted. “It’s absolutely devastating to lose, especially a big rivalry game like this. We look forward to it all week,” Adan said. “To go down the way we did, it’s dreadful but we do have to remind ourselves that last year it was the same outcome and we were actually in the final. All is not lost as long as we keep our heads right and continue to work hard.”
