Manitoba RCMP sent divers to search a section of the Nelson River Aug. 3 after a rowboat was found about 13 kilometres from the burned Toyota RAV4 driven by B.C. homicide suspects Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky that was found July 22. The RCMP said Aug. 5 that the divers completed their work Aug. 4 and would not be conducting any additional dives. A police roadblock was also put in place Aug. 5 in the Sundance area for ongoing search efforts. The Globe & Mail reported that the boat was green, aluminum and flat-bottomed and that a red-and-white water container was found near it. An RCMP inspector said it had been through the rapids and was significantly damaged. It was found near the lower Limestone rapids, an area that had last been searched by air
RCMP A damaged rowboat found on the Nelson River Aug. 3 near Gillam, where B.C. homicide suspects Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky ditched a Toyota Rav4 July 22, prompted RCMP to send divers north to conduct an underwater search Aug. 4. three our four days before. RCMP were trying to determine if the boat belonged to anyone in the area. Even though the search for McLeod, 19, and Schmegelsky, 18, in Northern Manitoba
is scaling down, police will not end their manhunt until there is a resolution, Manitoba RCMP Assistant Commissioner Jane MacLatchy said July 31. RCMP began searching the area of Gillam and Fox Lake
Cree Nation after the Rav4 was found abandoned and burned near the communities July 22. They established two confirmed sightings in the area before that time, but have not been able to confirm any sightings since, despite a daylong intensive search in York Landing July 28-29 after a Winnipeg Bear Clan Patrol member said he saw two people matching the suspects’ descriptions at the community’s dump. McLeod and Schmegelsky are wanted in connection with the killings of Lucas Fowler and Chynna Deese, found dead on the Alaska Highway in B.C. July 15, and have been charged with second-degree murder in the death Leonard Dyck of Vancouver, whose body was found south of Dease Lake, B.C. July 19. Dyck’s body was discovered about two kilometres from a burnt-out truck that McLeod and Schmegelsky had been
driving when they left Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, ostensibly on the way to Alberta to look for work. CBC and other media reported that the pair had been briefly questioned by Tataskweyak Cree Nation band constables after not stopping at a drug and alcohol checkstop at the entrance to the dry First Nation July 22, the day before they were identified as suspects in the three homicides. The Toyota was found later that evening. Manitoba RCMP said July 25 that they believed McLeod and Schmegelsky were still in the Gillam area, based the confirmed sightings and the fact that no vehicles in the area had been reported stolen. Anyone who spots McLeod and Schmegelsky should call Gillam RCMP at 204-6522200, Thompson RCMP at 204-677-6911 or 911 or their local police in other areas.
Two 14-year-old girls stabbed by youths July 25 BY IAN GRAHAM
EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Two teenagers have been arrested and warrants have been issued for two more after two 14-year-old girls were stabbed near Giant Tiger in the early morning hours of July 25.
Manitoba RCMP media relations officer Sgt. Paul Manaigre said the incident occurred around 3:35 a.m. in the parking lot of Giant Tiger on Thompson Drive. “The victims advised they were hanging out in the Giant Tiger parking lot when a
group of youths came out of the bush and ran after them and began to assault them,” he said. “They attempted to steal items in their possession and when they fought back, they were assaulted and later realized they had been stabbed. They ran away
from the scene where another youth who had seen them injured called 911.” RCMP officers took the girls to the hospital for immediate treatment. One 17-year-old female was arrested and remanded into custody on charges of ag-
gravated assault and assault with a weapon as a result of the stabbing. A 14-year-old male was arrested and released on a promise to appear in court. Two other accused have been identified but not yet located and there are warrants out for their arrest.
Syphilis numbers still climbing in Northern Manitoba BY IAN GRAHAM

LIFE AFTER LIFEGUARDING NEWS PAGE 5
A rise in the number of syphilis cases in Northern Manitoba that began about four years ago has not yet levelled off, says Manitoba’s acting provincial public health officer Dr. Michael Isaac. In 2019 so far, the province’s north has seen 100 confirmed cases of the blood-borne disease, putting the region on pace to top last year’s 176 cases, though Isaac says both those numbers could change as a result of ongoing investigations. In 2017, there were 109 cases, 99 in 2016 and 56 in 2015, a sharp increase from only 10 confirmed cases in 2014. “The trend is pretty clear that we’re still on the rise,” Isaac said. “Syphilis rates continue to climb in the region.” Syphilis can be transmitted sexually as well as through the sharing of needles for intravenous drug use. Symptoms can include sores on the gen-
itals or on a person’s mouth or anus but they are typically painless and people may not notice them. “Some people will not know if they have symptoms,” Isaac said. These sores can also make it easier to transmit or contract other sexually transmitted infections like HIV, gonorrhea, and hepatitis B and C. “It can act as an open doorway for the HIV virus,” Isaac says, noting that hepatitis C cases are up around the province, though there has not been an increase in HIV numbers in Northern Manitoba as of yet. Hepatitis is most commonly spread through the sharing of IV drug injection equipment. Though syphilis is easily cured with a dose of long-acting penicillin, it can have serious health impacts. “Untreated syphilis can spread through the body and, if it is left untreated, a certain proportion of people will get complications even years
down the road,” Isaac says. “It can be pretty severe if it’s left untreated. We’re lucky with syphilis that we haven’t seen [antibiotic] resistance.” Part of the reason more cases are being confirmed in recent years – including four confirmed cases and one suspected case of congenital syphilis passed on to newborns by their mothers in Manitoba from 2015 through 2018 – is because the Northern Regional Health Authority is doing more testing and has implemented additional testing for pregnant women – two tests during pregnancy instead of the standard single test and a third test just after giving birth. “We’re definitely doing more testing for syphilis than we have in the past,” Isaac says. Syphilis tests are widely available in the north, with some public health nurses having been trained to take samples. In Thompson, it is
available at the clinic in the plaza, the teen clinic and also through public health nursing staff. “We need to know that someone has it,” in order to be able to treat it and limit the disease’s spread, Isaac says. “If you don’t know you have [sexually transmitted infections] we can’t get to the point of treating them so it’s important to get tested.” The NRHA is also supporting harm reduction efforts like clean needle distribution through the Safer Choices Northern Network in the Thompson area and the Play It Safer network in The Pas and Flin Flon, since increased IV use of crystal methamphetamine and sharing needles is contributing to syphilis’s spread. “Across the province we’re seeing an increase in crystal methamphetamine use,” said Isaac, including in northern communities. New needles are also
available through Thompson public health and people who are using IV drugs should not share injection equipment and get tested for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis and other bloodborne infections every three months. Frequent testing is also recommended for sex workers and those who have sex with multiple partners, who can reduce their risk of getting syphilis by practising safe sex. “Using condoms is a way to reduce the risk of acquiring syphilis,” said Isaac. The province is also looking at different ways of testing rather than the current method of drawing blood and taking a urine sample. Dried blood spot testing, in which a person dabs a sample of their blood onto a card and sends it in to get tested is one alternative method that may become more common in the future. “It’s not currently widely available in Canada,” Isaac says.

Manitoba air ambulance service acquires jet for transporting critically ill and injured patients Manitoba’s air ambulance service has acquired a new jet on an interim basis while working on a request for proposals to select a long-term private contract, the Winnipeg Sun reported. The plane is a Learjet 45 and was expected to be ready for Lifeflight service to communities more than 200 kilometres away from Winnipeg as of the last weekend of July. “A jet aircraft for use by Manitoba’s critical care air ambulance services (including Lifeflight, STARS, and Shared Health transport teams) has now been accepted,” wrote Shared Health CEO Dr. Brock Wright in a memo obtained by the Sun, which also said that doctors have agreed to staff the flights throughout August. Health Minister Cameron Friesen told the Sun in an email that, “the speed and longer range of the jet will enhance the service for Manitobans. Aircraft assignments will be made based on clinical priority, time sensitivity, distance and runway type.”

Federal government funding northern economic development projects by UCN and CEDF with entrepreneurs to help their dreams become reality.” Sawh says there are opportunities in many northern communities to open businesses to enable people to buy products and services they need at home instead of going to another community for them and that doing so can keep dollars circulating locally and spur further economic growth. “We’re trying to encourage a culture of commerce,” he said. The federal government also announced that University College of the North (UCN) would be receiving nearly $1.5 million to pilot a business incubator, digital prototyping facility and business start-up services in Northern Manitoba. “Much of this service will be virtual,” said UCN president Doug Lauvstad, and therefore available to entrepreneurs throughout Manitoba’s north. “Universities are able to provide services to people with new ideas and who are looking for mentoring support, research.

In the latest of a continuing series of spending announcements as the October federal election draws near, Canada’s Liberal government announced Aug. 1 that economic development efforts in Northern Manitoba would be receiving up to about $3.3 million. The largest portion of this – $1,567,500 – is going to Communities Economic Development Fund (CEDF) to support its initiatives to spur economic growth in Northern Manitoba and develop key industries in the region. CEDF CEO Oswald Sawh says this funding will be used to help complete work associated with the Manitoba provincial government’s Look North regional economic development strategy, which will involve a lot of close consultation with Northern Manitoba communities. “It’s very labour intensive,” said Sawh. “It’s going to really help us in regards to having more resources available. We need to have those resources to be able to go into the communities, work with local leadership, and work

said. “We will be starting the setup and strategizing and various logistics and staffing.” The UCN president said he hopes the program can expand its
reach in the future and that UCN is open to expanding it to where the need or interest is. “Western Canada can lead the way towards an economy that works for all Canadians,” said Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains, whose portfolio includes Western Economic Diversification Canada, the regional economic development agency that is funding these initiatives. “To do this, the government of Canada is working with post-secondary institutions, industry and other partners needed to improve education and training programs, support business growth and create well-paid jobs.” Lauvstad said the programs UCN received funding for are focused on providing Northern Manitobans with the technology skills needed to participate in the digital economy. “Colleges in particular train for the workplace and these days the workplace is digital,” he said. “I think the north is playing a little bit of catch-up with the rest of the globe when it comes to digital technology.

While the league initially made this announcement back in May, team representatives doled out more information during a pair of recent public meet-andgreets in Nelson House (July 18) and Thompson (July 22). Not only did they get to showcase the Flames’ new logo and jersey, but head coach Cody Genaille also revealed that the team wants to play home games at both NCN’s Gilbert McDonald Arena and the Thompson Regional Community
Centre. “There are a lot of band members from NCN who are in the community of Thompson as well,” he told the Thompson Citizen Aug. 1. “So we really want to get to the youth in both communities. That’s our goal.” Genaille went on to say that the team is also interested in recruiting players from other surrounding communities like Gillam, Split Lake, Wabowden, Snow Lake and Leaf Rapids. The junior B NCN Flames originally competed in the now defunct Northwest Junior Hockey League, which ran from 1992 to 2004. Even though the Nelson House team picked up a pair of championships in 2002 and 2003, Flames governor Lou Moodie said they couldn’t find a new home in the wake of the league’s closure, leaving local youth
no choice but to play for rival junior B clubs in Norway House and Cross Lake instead. However, now that the KJHL is under new management, Moodie believes that the time is right to bring the program back and offer the local youth a place to compete once they are too old for U18 hockey. “We wanted them to have something closer to home,” he said. “We want to prolong their ability to stay closer to family and stay closer to the coaches that are here to help them develop through the whole process and hopefully get stronger and stronger as the years progress.” Moodie also mentioned that this program will primarily focus on skill development in an attempt to shake the rough reputation that NCN junior B hockey
received in the past. “They called it the ‘Jungle B League,’” he said. “Well, we’re going to change that image. We’re going to give each one of our children that goes through our franchise the opportunity to go forward and further through skill development, not through their fists.” NCN Flames general manager James Warren said the team still has to finalize a lot of administrative details before their upcoming selection camp, which is running Sept. 12-15. And while all that paperwork does seem daunting, Warren is motivated by the fact that the desire to play and watch junior B hockey in NCN didn’t disappear over the last 15 years. “That’s what we meant by ‘reignite the flame.’ Because it was never out. It was merely flickering,” he

Cross Lake Islanders refused to lose in game four
of their midget AA league playoff final series on the road against the Thompson King Miners March 16, twice coming back to tie the game before taking the series three games to one on an overtime goal about seven minutes into overtime. Armando Evans, Drayden Garrick, Morgan McKay, Dallas Muskego and Kadin Ross had the goals for the Islanders, who opened the scoring in the first before giving up three goals to Matthew Rempel, Kale Mayor and Conroy Halcrow of Thompson in the first four minutes of the second period to trail 3-1. Muskego’s goal made it a one-goal King Miners lead heading into the third period. The King Miners were less than five minutes from forcing a fifth and deciding game in the series when the Islanders tied the game. A little over a minute later, however, Drayden Jobb put Thompson back on top 4-3. But Cross Lake refused to accept defeat, and took just 22 seconds to tie the game once again on a goal by McKay, setting the stage for overtime heroics. Shots in the game were 33-25 in favour of the King Miners, who got 28 saves from Skylar Szocs, while Peter Ross stopped 21 in Cross Lake’s net to give his team the win and the league championship.

Where did Norplex Pool lifeguards end up after the facility’s closure? BY KYLE DARBYSON
KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Before the City of Thompson shut down the Norplex Pool Feb. 13 due to safety concerns, they employed three people to work there as full-time instructor-guards. Outside of being responsible for swimmers’ safety, this trio was also tasked with organizing swimming lessons and mentoring parttime staff. But now that the city doesn’t have an indoor facility for them to manage, the three were reshuffled within the municipal government and given different roles. Madison Murray eventually became the city’s community entity co-ordinator,
which is a new position designed to help out with homeless initiatives and other program development. Murray is also currently pitching in with the city’s summer camp program that is running until Aug. 16. Even though Murray said she likes her new role, she admits that the transition took some getting used to after serving as an instructor-guard for four-and-a-half years. “When you become a lifeguard it’s a really important role that we hold and a lot of us take that near and dear to our hearts,” she said. “So it kind of almost felt, in that situation, like something that you loved was ripped away from you
and you weren’t allowed to do it any more.” Murray went on to talk about how the sheer suddenness of the pool’s closure also didn’t help the process. “There was no lead-up, no time. We didn’t have that grieving period,” she said. “It was such a quick thing that happened. “ In terms of Murray’s fellow instructor guards, one became a member of the public works department while the other, as of July 25, hasn’t been assigned another permanent role yet. However, Murray and at least one of her former lifeguard colleagues are also members of the pool planning committee, which was created last spring to help
determine the best course of action on how to rebuild the Norplex Pool. “I’ve been working and doing lots of research,” she said. “So hopefully we can add some lifeguard opinion as well as knowledge into the new pool and hopefully that will help the transition be a little bit easier.” Back in June, Thompson city council voted unanimously to award an $80,010 contract to KGS Group to conduct a feasibility study on the Norplex Pool. Once the consultants submit their report, the local planning committee will be able to determine whether the city should build a new facility or fix the existing one.
