Golf clubs stolen during breakin May 25 Thompson RCMP are looking for a teenaged suspect who broke into a business May 25.

The suspect, who was captured on video surveillance, appears to be about 16 to 18 years old and was wearing khaki pants and a blue Nike jacket. The video shows him trying to enter the building through a locked door before using a child’s bike to break the glass. The video also captured him leaving the store with a set of golf clubs, though he also stole other items.

The break-in occurred between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m.

May 25.

Anyone with information about this or any other crime is asked to call the Thompson RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

RCMP Video surveillance captured a suspect who appears to be about 16 to 18 years old breaking into a Thompson business between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m. May 25.

Eight speeding tickets handed out last weekend Thompson RCMP responded to about 200 calls for service last weekend and traffic services issued eight tickets June 1-2, mostly for excessive speed.

Every ticket that RCMP issued was for driving more than 20 kilometres per hour faster than the posted speed limit.

The largest fine handed out was $705 for a driver going 150 kilometres per hour in a 100-kilometre-per-hour zone.

The driver will also have their licence reviewed by Manitoba Public Insurance.

Another driver caught travelling 23 kilometres per hour over the limit in a construction zone was fined $652 for

speeding and an additional $174 for having windows with a darker tint than is allowed in Manitoba.

A third driver received a $599 fine for travelling 140 kilometres per hour, 40 kilometres per hour over the posted limit.

“The RCMP is committed to making our roads safer,”

said Thomson RCMP Const. Sandy Deibert in a press release. “This driving behaviour is not acceptable and the RCMP would like to remind drivers that the speed limits that are posted are for ideal driving conditions. This includes type of weather, time of day and overall condition of the road.”

Stabbing spree: three men injured by knife-wielding youths in three hours May 30 Two victims transported to Winnipeg for treatment of serious injuries Two men from Thompson have been sent to Winnipeg for treatment of stab wounds following a series of attacks by knife-wielding youths in the early hours of May 30.

The last of three victims who were stabbed was walking on a trail near Forest View Suites, formerly Princeton Towers, around 5:20 a.m. when he was attacked by a group of youths. The 27-year-old was stabbed multiple times and taken first to Thompson General Hospital and then to Winnipeg for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. He is currently in stable condition.

Less than two hours earli-

er, around 3:40 a.m. Thompson RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing downtown. The 48-yearold victim is believed to have been walking on the path next to the homeless shelter when he was stabbed by two youths. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and then to Winnipeg, where he is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.

About an hour earlier, at 2:45 a.m., RCMP officers on patrol found a 24-year-old man with a stab wound on Mystery Lake Road. Police believe he was stabbed by at least two teenage males while other people from the same group watched.

A security guard at a hotel and a man walking in a park in Deerwood reported being attacked by a group of youths during this same time period. The security guard reported seeing the youths armed with knives.

“These are very serious incidents and our investigators are determined to find those responsible for these senseless acts of violence,” said Insp. Brian Edmonds, the officer in charge of the Thompson RCMP detachment, in a press release sent out around 10:30 p.m. May 30. “We know there were multiple people involved in the attacks as well as some that watched these violent

encounters. Someone knows who is responsible and we are asking them to come forward and share the information.”

Anyone who witnessed these attacks or has more information

on them can call Thompson RCMP at 204-677-6909 or Manitoba Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477. Tips can also be submitted online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.

Correction An item on the front page of the May 29 Thompson Citizen directing readers to an article on Page 2 mistakenly said that two men arrested for sexual assault were from Norway House when they were from Garden Hill, as detailed in the article.

The Citizen apologizes for the error.

MKO receiving more complaints about cabs from First Nations citizens

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) plans to meet with police, taxi companies and taxi licensing agencies because the number of complaints they receive from First Nations citizens having negative experiences using cabs in Thompson and Winnipeg is on the rise.

The hope is that these meetings will help ensure passengers feel safe when using taxis.

“This is very concerning as many people who travel to urban centres from the North must use taxis to access their appointments,” said MKO Grand Chief Garrison Settee in a May 30 press release. “People who use taxis should feel safe at all times and not be subjected to any type of behaviour that is threatening, intimidating, or causes harm. At the MKO we are especially aware of and concerned about the safety of First Nations women and girls, and we will be working to ensure they are not put in harm’s way simply because they need to use a taxi.”

Thompson residents have been posting their experiences with Thompson cabs on the Facebook group Thompson Talk, telling

of their experiences being taken over the Miles Hart Bridge against their will and having to force their way out of a cab or being asked to provide money greater than the fare for where they are going up front before some drivers will agree to drive them. Several people gathered on Selkirk Avenue with signs May 28 to draw attention to these incidents.

Thompson RCMP have received and are investigating several complaints involving taxi drivers, but a Manitoba RCMP spokesperson said no one has ben arrested, charged or held in custody at this point.

Under Thompson’s taxicab bylaw, people with previous criminal convictions for impaired driving, dangerous driving, robbery, sexual offences and violent crimes such as homicide, assault and abduction are not eligible to be licensed as taxi drivers. It also prohibits taxi drivers from taking a passenger to a place other than their stated destination without sufficient reason. Drivers are allowed to request a reasonable approximation of the fare from someone if they believe that person can’t or won’t pay the fare, though they must return any difference between the amount collected in advance

SHE members reflect on their first full year of local activism High school feminist group experienced plenty of ups and downs raising awareness for women’s issues

Thompson Citizen photo by Kyle Darbyson Members of Striving for Humanity and Equality pose next to all the feminine hygiene products they collected for homeless women throughout 2019.

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Tracy Hanson Students from R.D. Parker Collegiate got the chance to visit the University of Manitoba’s Womyn’s Centre back in March.

Any new community group is inevitably going to face an uphill battle during their first year, since its members must generate funds from scratch and convince the public that their cause is worth paying attention to.

The high school students behind Striving for Humanity and Equality (SHE) definitely went through those peaks and valleys throughout the last eight months, while trying to raise awareness of women’s issues at R.D. Parker Collegiate and in the community at large.

After officially debuting at a school board meeting in May 2018, SHE really got started in the fall by plastering school bulletin boards with information about topics like domestic violence and sexual assault.

The group even handed out surveys to gauge their fellow students’ opinions on feminist issues, and managed to glean some pretty surprising results.

“There were some pretty intense things that were listed that I didn’t expect,” said Courtney McKay, RDPC counsellor and SHE member.

“I can’t really share because we promised it would remain confidential, but [accounts] of sexual assaults that have happened and inappropriate touching.”

The group also cam-

paigned to try changing RDPC’s dress code, since they believe the current policy it is too restrictive for female students.

But SHE didn’t limit their activism to RDPC, going out into the community to organize several collection drives to supply homeless women with feminine hygiene products.

“We’d like to send it to the food bank and the homeless shelter, as they don’t get a lot of donations of pads and tampons,” said SHE member Taylar Hanson-Oliveira.

“As well … we’ve collected purses and items to fill the purses, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, socks to give to homeless women.”

Despite their accomplishments, SHE members said they had to contend with backlash from their fellow students, some of whom even talked about forming a HE group in response.

Luckily, the students got a much-needed morale boast when they visited the University of Manitoba in March, where they had the opportunity to talk with members of the school’s Womyn’s Centre and Gender Studies Program.

SHE affiliate member Morgan Hanson-Oliveira, who is also Taylar’s sister, served as the group’s guide during this field trip and said the students got to learn about what kind of unique resources and services the

university is able to provide.

“As both a feminist and a women’s and gender studies major, I am in complete admiration and utter disbelief at how much these young students knew and how much I learned from them,” Morgan wrote in a March 17 entry on the U of M news website. “Despite the resistance they face within their school community and not being recognized for their work, the SHE students continue to advocate for women’s rights and equality for marginalized communities.”

Now that they have some cash in their pockets after organizing various fundraisers, SHE members are already brainstorming new ways to make a difference in the community.

The group talked May 28 about the potential for organizing self-defence courses, a leadership conference and maybe even a public debate with some of their critics during the next school year.

But more than anything, SHE members said they were just happy to make it through the last eight months, since they came out the other side a more mature and experienced unit.

“I think we raised a lot of awareness in the school, and I think next year we can raise a lot more awareness in the community because of how strong our group will be,” said member Aarti Ghai.

Thompsonites spread out around the city June 1 to pick up garbage and recyclables from the ground and turn them in at City Hall for cash.

Among the participants was Rod Dumas, who went into the woods between Princeton Drive and Mystery Lake Road in hopes of filling up five bags of trash for $15.

“I don’t mind doing this,” said Dumas. “It’s better than standing around. I lived here all my life. All I see is garbage any place.”

Thompson RCMP officers also took some time to literally clean up the streets.

The Thompson Citizen requested more information from the City of Thompson about the annual Clean Community Day, including the number of participants, how many bags of trash and recyclables were picked up, how much money was paid out for these bags and how many Thompson residents took advantage of no fee for residential waste dropoff at the waste disposal grounds June 1, but hadn’t received any of those numbers as of 8 a.m. June 4.

Sri Lankan psychotherapist in Thompson providing support from afar in wake of April 21 bombings that killed hundreds in his home country

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

As an immigrant from Sri Lanka, Dr. Nuwan Fonseka was horrified to awaken Easter Sunday to a message from a friend telling that there had been a bomb blast in the city of Negombo back in his home country.

“I heard from my family that some family friends – not family members luckily – and people we know were injured and lost their life so I heard the incident and I turned on the TV,” says Fonseka, a clinical psychotherapist in private practice in Thompson and founder of the Integrative Mindfulness Centre.

The April 21 bombings in multiple churches and highend hotels around the country killed at least 253 people and injured more than 500.

The bombings are believed to have been carried out by National Thowheed Jamath, a Sri Lanka militant Islamist group with links to the Islamic State, according to BBC News.

From thousands of kilometres away, Fonseka reacted by doing what he knows best: talking to people to help them relive their trauma.

“When I was living in Sri Lanka I used to deliver group workshops and many supports for trauma so I start connecting people around the St. Sebastian’s Church [in Negombo],” he explains.

“I found a couple of some people already affected by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I would say all the region is affected by PTSD at this point and grief and loss and trauma.”

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Dr. Nuwan Fonseka Thompson clinical psychotherapist Dr. Nuwan Fonseka is trying to help people in his native country of Sri Lanka deal with the trauma and aftermath of April 21 bombings that killed more than 250 people and injured another 500.

Just hearing about the bombings was traumatic for Fonseka, who grew up during a 26-year-long civil war between the government and the Tamil Tigers seeking independence for the Tamil minority, which is believed to have killed as many as 70,000 people before it ended in 2009.

“The first week I struggled in my trauma because the last time I had those kind of experiences was 10 years ago when I was living in Sri Lanka,” he said.

Fonseka also felt guilt regarding his fellow Sri Lankans since he, like many other professionals, has emigrated from the country of his birth.

“We don’t have many therapists, social workers, well-trained psychologists because most of them are out of the country,” he said.

Since he and his wife recently had a baby, Fonseka says he cannot travel back to Sri Lanka right now to help his country recover, but he is doing what he can from afar

by promoting crisis intervention trauma-informed support with acute traumatic incident processing for affected victims via communication apps like Skype.

“The program helps affected family members loved ones to basically manage their grief and trauma,” Fonseka says. “I let them express their emotions, pain and anger and many other emotions. There are five stages of grieving: denial, bargaining, anger, depression and acceptance.”

While he hopes to perhaps return to Sri Lanka to help people dealing with bombing-related trauma in the future, Fonseka says that for now he is trying to organize government assistance for victims.

“I’m hoping to go,” he says. “Basically my goal in Sri Lanka is helping and introducing crisis intervention trauma-informed approach for people affected by the bomb blasting and also promoting this acute traumatic processing. That’s

my responsibility I think at this point as a psychotherapist in private practice in Canada. I’m also asking Canadian authorities to help Sri Lanka at this point by providing lots of professional support like following the 2004 tsunami.

I’ve been sending emails to government authorities and newspapers and responsible people and I’m willing to go back to Sri Lanka and help managing trauma and developing a trauma-informed care support system.”

First public tour of GLACIER facility since 2014 Continued from Page 8 see MDS’s testing apparatus, a multi-storey wind tunnel that also produces ice, up close.

“It was super awesome and I’m really glad that I went,” said she afterwards.

“And my 12-year-old, I forced him to go with me at the beginning, but by the end he was excited and happy that I forced him to go.”

While this site has been operating since 2010, MDS

Your search is over.

The Manitoba government offers you opportunity, diversity and a rewarding career.

District Occupational Safety and Risk Coordinator Regular/Full-Time Manitoba Finance, Brandon, MB Advertisement Number: 34981 Closing Date: June 17, 2019 Salary Range: $54,318.00 - $65,118.00 per year

has always been cautious about inviting the public onto the premises, wanting to protect their clients’ trade secrets at all costs.

However, on Saturday, the company decided to open their doors to the public for the first time since 2014 as a way to keep the public engaged with their work.

“The facility is very unique,” said new facility general manager Jordan Ilott. “You heard on the tour

that [there’s] only a very small number in the world that can do what we can do and I think that having the opportunity to show the facility to the community is a great benefit.”

Even though former MDS general manager Troy Ramnath told the Thompson Chamber of Commerce in February that the company is looking to install a second testing bed, Ilott couldn’t confirm any such future plans for expansion.

Pub 55 is looking for a Full-time Operations Manager.

The ideal candidate will have the ability to motivate & direct others while thriving in a fast paced environment.

The primary focus is maintaining company standards to deliver a great guest experience while embracing the role of brand ambassador.

Instead, he said his employees are currently focused on summertime repair and maintenance projects that will help testing run more smoothly once Thompson’s infamous winter season returns.

“Our focus in the summertime is twofold, it’s making sure that our facility is ready to go and then it would be planning test programs as well,” he said.

“There’s a lot of moving parts in being able to bring an engine here and have all the test equipment in place and ready.”

According to MDS’s website, their test facility accommodates aircraft engines that can produce up to 150,000 pounds of force thrust and 32,000 pounds of reverse thrust.

Salary range is $45-$55,000 per year, depending on experience, plus gratuities.
