DONE DEAL: Port Arthur Health Centre workers rally on Aug. 8. They walked off the job in April.
PAHC strike ends after four months Port Arthur Health Centre workers ratify contract offer LABOUR By Matt Vis – TB Source he fourmonth strike at the Port Arthur Health Centre is official ly over. The board of physicians last Wednesday announced they had ratified the tentative agreement reached with the union repre senting the striking workers, one day after the employees voted to go back to work. Following the ratification vote last Tuesday, and the board of physicians signing off on the new collective new agreement, opera tions at the clinic will resume on August 24. The new agreement spans three years and includes a number of
T
improvements for Unifor workers. Start wage for former minimum wage workers will increase to at least $14.56 to $14.70 per hour. The agreement also includes a range of wage increases across all classifications, a new weekend premium, new language for seniority list postings and float days, an increase of labour management meetings to four times per year, and a commitment to discuss creating flexible part time rotations, vision care benefits, uniform/shoe allowance, and reim bursement for the cost of medical absence notes. The appointment secretaries, billing clerks, medical aides and administrative staff walked off the job on April 8, starting a prolonged
dispute that lasted more than 128 days. The labour strife escalated last week when a fence was erected outside the main entrance to the clinic, fulfilling a promise made by the union to shut down the clinic. The electrical box to the building was then allegedly tampered with two days later, extending the closure to a third day. Both sides resumed bargaining last week for the first time since the strike began, requiring only one day to come to terms on an inprin ciple agreement. Unifor Assistant to the National President said via press release, "with this agreement, the workers know their work is valued and respected for what it is worth.”

INTERRUPTIONS: Ken Adams says the Nakina/Atikokan bridge will be closed until December.
Bridge closes at college entrance T H U N D E R B AY By Leith Dunick – TB Source bit of traffic chaos will greet students and staff returning to Confederation College next month. On Monday, Phase 1 of a scheduled $2.35 million rehabilitation of the Nakina and Atikokan Drive bridge is set to begin, a project that will close the two streets to through traffic until Dec. 15. The second phase of the project will be completed next summer. Ken Adams, vicepresident of college services, said the work had to be done to preserve the 50yearold span, the main entrance to the school, and extend its life an additional 25 years. “We’re taking off the top deck and completely replacing that,” he said, “as well as expansion joints, waterproofing and drainage. We will then repave and then also look at changing some of the approaches. “At the same time we’re looking at replacing railings and lighting, so it’s going to be a complete rehab of the bridge.” The work means many students and staff will have to alter their routes to school each day. “The bridge will be totally closed to all
A
traffic. What we’re doing is using the Balmoral Street entrance for access to the Shuniah Building and the William Street entrance for access to the MacIntyre Building,” Adams said. “At this point in time the buses will be redi rected to our Sibley Hall residence, so there will be pickup and dropoff at that location.” Adams added they’ve made arrangements with Thunder Bay Transit to provide shuttles to and from the dropoff point, important given the work won’t likely wrap up before the arrival of winter weather. Adams said those traveling to the college should expect delays, especially in the early days of the project, and should give them selves additional travel time to compensate. Asked why the work wasn’t starting until two weeks before students were set to return to campus, Adams said they didn’t receive funding approval from the province until March and the tenders didn’t close until Aug. 1. Parking spaces near the front of the school, will also be off limits during construction and Adams said the school won’t be issuing parking tickets until Sept. 17 while people get used to the changes. All dropoffs at the Shuniah Building must take place on the west side of the building.

Public warned of door-to-door asks Humane Society says they have not been notified of anyone collecting donations for them T H U N D E R B AY By Gary Rinne – TB Source he Thunder Bay and District Humane Society says people approached for donations on behalf of the society should feel free to check the credentials of the individual collecting the money. The caution follows two incidents late last week, one involving a home owner, the other involving a local business. A social media post from the humane society stated “Unfortunately there may have been some misrepre sentation of our shelter and we hope it is a misunderstanding. We have also been notified there may be a person(s) going door to door collecting money on our behalf. This is not something that we have organized.” Cassandra Marques coordinates volunteers for the TBDHS. She said a resident reported that a girl about 11 years old came to her door seeking donations for the society. “We don't have anybody soliciting doortodoor. So that was one of the

The fact that they happened so quickly backtoback made her feel somebody may have known the society was asking for some dona tions, or that “maybe they are doing it on our behalf, but they haven't

The shelter can be contacted at 475 8803 or by email at info@tbdhs.ca. The humane society didn't initially notify Thunder Bay Police about the recent incidents “but we may be giving them a call today, just so they are aware,” Marques said.

Editorial EDITORIAL
Clinic pause is mistaken ntario’s decision to pause the over dose prevention clinic in Thunder Bay is shortsighted at best. Just days from opening its doors, there is plenty of evidence out there that says clinics like these have positive impacts on their communities and, more importantly, the lives of the people they serve. While many balk at the idea of giving illegal drugs to users, it’s far safer than having them come from the black market, supplied by criminal gangs who use violence and intimidation to control the market. Not to mention, getting the drugs from an illegal source runs the risk of them being cut with all manner of substances, some of which could prove deadly. The province, which halted similar projects in St. Catharines and Toronto, wants to conduct reviews of harm reduction practices in order to ensure the sites have merit. Health Canada last December gave the approval for temporary sites, its response to the opioid crisis plaguing the country from coast to coast. Those who were in charge of the local program were right to express disappointment. There are too many vulnerable people in the community who need the service, whose lives are at risk not only from their addiction, but from the lifestyle itself. Hopefully the pause is a short one.

Clinics are important To the editor: here are too many studies out there for people to continue to hold a disapproving opinion of overdose pre vention sites going up. People want to use taxpayers’ money as a reason for it not to come up, but if you read between the lines, I can guarantee you these very people have a very low opinion of the most vulnerable people in society.

Strike too costly To the editor: t took this long of a strike to get this. Wasn’t this basically what they were offered in the first place. To me unifor realized the grave error in encouraging the strike and then of course they didn’t want charges on them for the criminal activity. So yes take the offer ladies it’s the best you’re going to get. I can’t believe it was 120plus days and you got what you were offered in the first place (from my under standing).
I
Now unifor will you support the women who get laid off or had to find other positions as they couldn’t survive on the strike pay. No you will chalk it up to a job well done. Also is Unifor going to continue to pay the strike pay for these ladies who do not go back to work until Aug. 24? I highly doubt it. Meredith Gray, Thunder Bay Via Facebook
Was strike effective?
Province keeps cutting
To the editor: am happy this is over. I suspect this is not too different from the original offer. I imagine the workers realized that following union bullying took things too far. It’s sad for them. They have to work there and the union honchos move on to someone else.
To the editor: his is getting ridiculous. If you have a program that was doing great things for your community but relied on funding be prepared to have it cut or cancelled. This is Doug Ford's idea of a solution.

The very last straw By J.R. Shermack Special to TB Source new villain has emerged in the battle to save the world’s oceans A and environmentalists are hoping this is literally the last straw. It’s been a hot summer and every frosty beverage served to a thirsty customer comes with a nasty surprise – a plastic straw. There is global public outcry against these menacing, polypropy lene plastic tubes and the ecological threat they pose. Some of the world’s biggest users of plastic straws (restaurants, airlines) are banning them as part of an international “skip the straw” campaign. American Airlines supports the ban and Starbucks has plans to elim inate straws by 2020. Vancouver was the first Canadian city to announce a ban on plastic straws – Seattle is the largest American city among many others. Similar action is proposed for New York City, the State of Hawaii and all of the U.K. But straws and disposable utensils are just the tip of the iceberg, or more specifically, only part of the huge, plastic blobs floating on our oceans. Straws and all other singleuse plastic garbage annually contribute eight million tons of plastic to pollute sea water and endanger wildlife.

WATER RENEWAL: About 30 docks on Pier 2 are slated to be replaced.
Dock upgrades to cost $450K T H U N D E R B AY By Gary Rinne – TB Source he City of Thunder Bay is looking for a contractor to upgrade docking facilities at the municipallyowned marina at Marina Park. About 30 floating docks on Pier 2 are set for replacement, as well as the dinghy dock used by smaller boats. However the dinghy dock is considered a lower priority, and may be postponed depending on total costs. The budget for the project is $450,000. The floating docks were constructed in the early 1980s, and "have essentially reached the end of their useful life," says Cory Halvorsen, manager of parks for the city, "We've been planning on having them replaced for some time." There is a total of 230 slips at the marina, but they were installed at different stages over the years and are at different points in their projected life span The docks are wellused, with the majority taken up by perma nent slipholders. "If they have any temporary vacancies, we have temporary users as well," Halvorsen noted. A project this large is not something that's undertaken frequently at the marina. Halvorsen said "Typically, we wouldn't go for a contract of this size annually, We would have to save up some reserve funds for a few years before we would take on a project of this size." The city's request for proposals from contractors specifies that the work be done between Oct. 1, 2018 and May 15, 2019 so as not to interfere with the current and following boating seasons.

We’re diligently working to increase access and enhance services,” MacDonald said. “The support of our community is important to what goes on at George Jeffrey. Yes, they do receive government funding, but it’s the support of our community that helps bridge the gap.” More than 1,700 clients received care from the centre last year, a number that continues to grow each year. From a program to help children with feeding difficulties to helping youngsters with verbal or written struggles communicate the program helps kids with learning and physical disabilities

here was a lot of noise and a lot of burnt rubber as car enthusiasts got to experi ence some highperformance demonstra tions and a trip down memory lane. The Thunder at the Bay Motorsports Extravaganza wrapped up on Sunday. The weekend long event include demonstra tions, a swap meet, and the popular engine blowout and burnout competitions. Kevin Merkley, chairman of the planning committee for the Thunder at the Bay Motorsports Extravaganza, said the annual show, now in it’s third year, continues to grow. “We had 265 vehicles come through this year,” he said. “It’s the biggest show that we ever had. There seemed to be a lot more excitement about the show from very early on. We had people registered in January and February just to be here.” Merkley added that the swap meet, which was included for the first time this year, as well as special guests, helped bring in a lot of new people. But what continues to be the biggest draw is the sense of nostalgia that comes with seeing all the classic cars on display. “A lot of it is nostalgia,” Merkley said. “People want to see the old cars.

These hornets were the black and white variety. I looked them up and learned that all hornets actually belong in the wasp family. I also learned that a hornet sting is more painful than that of a wasp because the hornet has more of one kind of chemical than yellow jackets and, hence, a more powerful sting. And as we all know wasps and hornets can sting repeatedly. The late Dylan Thomas in his brilliant poem A Child’s Christmas in Wales while discussing the presents, talks about “biology books for ‘little scientists’ that explain everything about the wasp (pause)… except why.” Excellent question: Why? On a different note, the Hymers Fall Fair is next weekend. My wife, Laura, The Gardener, says that this is the time when gardeners who want to enter their hardgrown provender into the fair are surveying their garden and choosing which of the beans, carrots, cabbages, etc. could be prizewinners. It has been a stellar year for growing stuff. It will be very interesting to see who enters and who wins. More about the Fair next column. Cheers.

OUT FOR A JAUNT: Chantal Alkins rides her horse last Saturday during the always popular Murillo Fair.
Murillo Fair always a late summer hot spot MURILLO By Michael Charlebois – TB Source t’s a good old country fair. Emphasis on the old; 127 years have gone by since the first Murillo Fair, but its continued success means it isn’t stopping any time soon. Hosted by the Oliver Agricultural Society, the fair continues to draw hundreds of people for a weekend that includes rides, food, music, and of course, animals. Horse rides, helicopter rides, a tractor parade, a ranch rodeo, animal exhibits, the fair has a lot of country to offer. Plus, if you missed Last week’s Canadian Lakehead Exhibition, the ferris wheel, other rides, and vendors were on scene.

OAS president Bailey Rey says the event gives Murillo a sense of purpose. “Where’s Murillo? It’s where the fair is,” Rey said, who has been attending the fair since her youth. “Promoting local agriculture is something that people from the city don’t get to see often.” “And people have been coming here for forever.” For Fred Boulter, it sure seems like forever. “Since I was a little kid,” Boulter said. “I just live down the road a little ways. I’ve always lived in Murillo.” Boulter’s favorite thing to do is shoot the breeze with fellow farmers. “We’re all good friends. We all got tractors. We go to the plowing match down in the valley. It’s almost like a club.”

T H U N D E R B AY By Michael Charlebois – TB Source or a quiet, old neighbourhood, Westfort does pretty well for itself when it gets to show off. It may only be once a year, but the Westfort Street Fair captures a community at its most vibrant. An expected 10,000 people from Westfort and beyond come to check out the fair, which is in its 36th year. “It’s expanding all the time, we do little new things all the time.” Jack Moro of J.B. Evans, and Westfort Street fair board member, said. New vendors, new artisans, and a military vehicle display was on the board for 2018’s installment. But after 36 years, the formula seems to keep working. Moro believes it’s the people that really make the fair worthwhile. “Well, you see people you haven’t seen in awhile,” Moro said. “In Thunder Bay you’re only one step

Events like these bring people together so it’s great.” “It’s quaint, but it’s lovely,” said resident Jess Murphy. “It gives you a really positive glimpse into Westfort, especially because it’s like this every year.” “I know not every neighbourhood could put something like this together,” said outoftowner Steven Jenkins. “It obviously takes a number of people who care deeply about their community, and take pride in their community.” Moro says the spirit of the fair exem plifies the motto for Westfort businesses. “We interact well with our consumer and we know our businesses,” Moro said. “All the businesses are very good with what we do… We really want to build relationship with our customers here.”

Backlash leads to acting role reversals Is Hollywood bowing to political correctness in assigning characters? his summer, more and more discus sions have come up regarding the casting of actors for certain roles. These announcements used to help drum up excitement for a new project. But now, in some cases, it’s all but undermining production. Scarlett Johansson was proud to be cast as a transgender man for the film Rub & Tug. However, LGBTQ groups were incensed that a woman would be cast when there are many transgender actors who could play the role with more authenticity. With so much pressure, Johansson withdrew from the film which is now
T
at a standstill. More recently, it was announced that Jack Whitehall would play Disney’s first openly gay character in the movie Jungle Cruise. Unfortunately, this caused imme diate backlash too – not because the character is gay, but because Whitehall, himself, is not. It’s a similar argument that actors with disabilities have been making.

Why hire someone who can walk for a wheelchair role when a wheelchair bound actor could portray it more honestly? Why hire a hearing/sighted actor to play deaf/blind? I get it. Those with obvious physical cues to their personal differences find it harder to get even smaller roles. For casting directors, it adds finan cial costs and logistical difficulties to the production (lighting, camera angles, costuming, physical layouts of the set, special assistants, even insur ance coverage) to include a character in a wheelchair or with any special physical needs. So unless the disability is essential to the story, producers won’t include it. And because of these barriers, they are greatly underrepresented in television and movies. But Scarlett Johansson’s casting
WORD SEARCH
wasn’t to save money. She was hired to make money. Her skill as an actress got her the job. However, her starpower name was going to get audiences to buy tickets. This is often the case for anyone trying to break into the business. Past jobs get actors auditions, not past personal experiences. It’s a role. It’s up to the writers to make the dialogue and the story authentic. It’s up to the actor to bring someone else’s story, someone else’s experi ence, to life. Nobody questioned Jodie Foster’s Academy Award for The Accused because she hadn’t personally been gangraped in a bar with patrons watching. Nobody had a problem with proudly out Neil Patrick Harris reenergizing
his career playing a womanizing straight guy on How I Met Your Mother. Should Gary Sinese have hacked off a leg part way through production of Forrest Gump for authenticity? Or should they have hired a partial amputee and used a computergener ated leg for the first half of the film? Claiming that only someone in a wheelchair should be hired for a wheelchair role – or that gays should play gays or that trans should play trans – suggests that these personal differences are more important than the actor. Yes, they’re certainly an integral part of that person. But actors are not hired to be them selves. They’re hired to become someone else. So their personal experiences aren’t as allimportant as they think.

STAR STUDDED: Former first overall draft pick Wendel Clark took part in the first Easter Seals Celebrity Hockey Classic last year.
Celebrity Classic back Easter Seals event pairs exNHLers with local hockey squads HOCKEY By Leith Dunick – TB Source endel Clark will be back in Thunder Bay this fall, and he’s bringing a bunch of his hockeyplaying friends. Clark is the marquee former NHLer taking part in the second annual Celebrity Hockey Classic in support of Easter Seals Ontario, an event that last year drew the likes of former firstround pick Al Iafrate and onetime 60goal scorer Dennis Maruk to the Tournament Centre. The event pairs one NHL alumni player with a team of local scrub players, who are guaranteed at least three games in the fundraising tournament. The team that raises the most money gets first choice in the draft, held the night before the event begins. Banker Brent Hagberg, whose team raised $8,500 last year, on Tuesday said his squad is aiming for the No. 1 spot in 2018. “It’s a childhood dream of mine to play with Wendel Clark. Unfortunately last year we weren’t the top fundraiser, so we weren’t able to get that, but we did get to play with Al Iafrate, which was a fantastic time,” Hagberg said. The crop of exNHLers coming to this year’s event will be revealed as teams sign up, though former Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings winger Mathieu
W
Dandenault, a 13year veteran, has committed to play in the tournament. Clark said he’s thrilled to be returning for a second straight year. “I truly enjoyed participating in the Easter Seals Celebrity Hockey Classic last year in Thunder Bay and glad to say I will be there again,” the former No. 1 overall draft pick said in a statement. Easter Seals Ontario senior development officer Rhonda Harrison said the Celebrity Hockey Classic, which replaced the popular Drop Zone event as one of their top fundraisers of the year, said it was a huge hit in Year 1. But there’s always room for more, she said. “We had an amazing turnout last year. The people who came had a great time and we’re so excited and seeing a lot of support for this year,” Harrison said at a news conference, held at the Sleeping Giant Brewery, where the exclusive draft party will be held. “We’re hoping to grow the event and have even more people out there, some more teams and have a lot more fun.” Registration is $1,500 per team and each player must raise a minimum of $400. The money is used to help Ontario children with disabilities, including more than 150 in Northwestern Ontario, live more independent lives. For more information, visit www.CelebrityHockeyClassics.com
