It’s now a three-way race to represent Thompson in the Manitoba legislature following the April 19 provincial election with the Liberal party announcing March 22 that Inez Vystrcil-Spence is their nominee in the constituency.

A health advisor for Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO), which represents 30 Northern Manitoba First Nations, and a social governance consultant with a master’s degree in social work, Vystrcil-Spence was born and raised in Thompson and has a home on Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation at Nelson House. She previously ran for the Liberals in a byelection in The Pas last April 21, fi nishing third with 369 votes but raising the Liberal party’s percentage of ballots to 13 from the 2.8 per cent they received in the riding in 2011.

“I’m excited to be joining the Manitoba Liberals Team Rana,” said VystrcilSpence in a press release. “We have a great group of candidates and I’m thrilled to be part of the indigenous and northern caucus. My experience in The Pas by-election is invaluable and has made me a stronger candidate.”

A graduate of R.D. Parker Collegiate and the Bachelor of Northern Social Work program in Thompson, Vystrcil-Spence has a Czech father and a Cree mother and six siblings, some of whom still live in Thompson, as well as a son and a daughter. She was the first aboriginal person to serve in the Manitoba Legislature intern program and was director of health for MKO where she oversaw a $2 million budget and served as the organization’s incident commander during the H1N1 flu pandemic. Vystrcil-Spence is also president and CEO of the Nelson House-based IVS Consulting and Development, and was a policy analyst for the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs from 1998 to 2000. She was a member of the First Nation of Northern Manitoba Child and Family Services Authority board whose duties were taken over by former Crown counsel Issie Frost in November 2014 until the organization is in compliance with the Child and Family Services Act and has met the recommendations of independent reports and reviews. The board will be reinstated once the authority is back in compliance, the province said.

“We are building a team Northern Manitobans can both relate to and depend on for strong representation,” said Liberal leader Rana Bokhari in an email announcing the Thompson candidate. “Inez has dedicated her life to the issues of northern Manitoba and has been a strong voice there.”

“I believe government is about advocacy to not only challenge but overcome the barriers and obstacles for those we serve, including the factors that create those barriers; poverty, discrimination, trauma, addictions, mental illness, family breakdown and lack of opportunity,” said Vystrcil-Spence when she announced her candidacy in the April 21, 2015 byelection in The Pas, which was won by the NDP’s Amanda Lathlin. “Many sitting members of the Legislature, current and former, will purport to have accomplished a lot for the north, however other critical dimensions are inclusive engagement with local and First Nation governments and meaningful consultation, and the Manitoba Liberals will offer a comprehensive approach to future engagements.”

“Inez has a deep knowledge and understanding of issues such as community and organizational development, management, culturally appropriate frameworks of engagement, and project oversight, not to mention the wide range of social issues affecting Manitobans,” said Bokhari in March of last year. “Inez understands the cultural, social, political, and other dimensions of The Pas. Inez is an expert in social and health issues, child welfare, housing, health policy and health care, employment counselling, and is familiar with the history and struggles of First Nations people.”

David Lounsbury April 4, 2015

Loving memories we will never forget, Sadly missed along life’s way, With silent thought and deep regret, We think of you every day, No longer in our life to share, But in our hearts he’s always there.

Months have grown day by day, It’s now a year since he went away, Thoughts are full and hearts do weigh, Without him here to share the way, Time may dull the hand of fate, Memory forever recalls the date.

God knows how much we miss you, Never shall your memory fade, Loving thoughts shall ever wander, To the spot where you are laid.

Though absent you are ever near, Still missed and loved, forever dear Love always Anna, Glenn (Melissa) Terry (Shawna) Joey (Mary) Walter, and all the 11 Grandchildren

Faculty of Social Work

Northern Social Work Program The University of Manitoba, Faculty of Social Work at Thompson has EXTENDED the date for accepting applications for the Northern Social Work Program. The deadline for submitting applications is April 11, 2016. The program is scheduled to begin September 2016. Students may complete the Northern Social Work Program as a full-time or part-time student.

The program provides post-secondary education for Residents of Northern Manitoba, in particular those who have not had the opportunity due to economic and cultural reasons, lack of formal education, linguistic barriers or residence in remote areas.

Relocation to Thompson will be required.

Individuals can apply either under ACCESS or EXTERNAL categories. The ACCESS category is for mature students, 21 years or over, who have under 30 credit hours of university level courses. The EXTERNAL category is for regular students who have 30 credit hours or more of university level courses and are in good academic standing. For both categories, applicants must have resided in Northern Manitoba for 6 months or more prior to the application deadline or have been a long term resident of the North.

For information or applications contact the Faculty of Social Work at Thompson at 204-677-1450 or No Charge Dial 1-866-2375509 or visit umanitoba.ca/faculties/social_work/programs/ northern/591.html

restaurant he and his wife opened a month ago, yelling across the table to curious customers uncertain as to how to fi ll their plates.

Normally, buffet is a fairly hands-off affair. But in a community where international cuisine has been scarce, Singh is spending as much time explaining his food as serving it.

There’s good reason why Butter Chicken Express, along with its equally fresh competitor, Holy Spice North Indian Cuisine, prioritized the buffet when they fi rst rolled out in late February: despite a prominent Indian community, Thompson’s restaurant scene has not seen much in the way of Indian cuisine.

Chillax WTF was the first to commercially bring the cuisine to Thompson in 2013, operating an ever-popular food truck in the summer, and offering delivery in the winter.

Siddharth Varma, owner, noted the food truck was an easily manageable format for a first venture into the food industry.

But for all of his caution, Varma says the reception was stellar: “People in Thompson have been wonderful and supportive. We’re really amazed to see how much people love East Indian food.”

Butter Chicken Express and Holy Spice are the first fixed-location restaurants to serve South Asian cuisine in Thompson, opening up a new option for service: the buffet. For an unfamiliar public, buffets provide the most tactile, accessible opportunity to dip their toes into an unfamiliar cuisine. “That’s the whole idea,” Kal said. “You run the buffet, change the items, and let people try everything out. They ask me what it is, how to eat it, and I get to ask them for feedback.”

Kal’s wife, Belbebr Singh, primarily runs Butter Chicken Express.

The two are both from Malaysia’s capital, Kuala

WHEN YOU CROSS A BRIDGE... ask yourself if it could be the next to collapse.

WITH SO MANY BRIDGES in a state of serious disrepair, you have every right to be worried because troubled waters are ahead.

In Manitoba, local Councils are responsible for 60% of infrastructure but are allowed to collect just 8 cents of every tax dollar to get the job done. PLUS, they have little to no say in how the rest gets spent.

This election, tell your candidates that your community deserves its fair share of tax dollars and a fair say in how they’re spent.

FAIR SHARE. FAIR SAY. FOR MANITOBA MUNICIPALITIES

Lumpur, a city where Malay, Chinese, Indian and Portuguese culture intersect to create a lush and varied culinary landscape.

“I came here 17 years ago, and we never really had an East Indian restaurant,” says Belbebr. “I was hearing that people were craving one, so, we thought we’d try it.”

The Singhs’ shop is small, cozy and intimate, located in the small satellite building in the Plaza parking lot that has stood there, as it is, for decades.

It’s hard for a restaurant to be located in a more noticeable place: the building sticks out like a prairie fire in a sea of concrete. Yet in spite of this, one gets the impression that they’re eating at the best-kept secret in town.

BCX’s kitchen, and its menu, are on the smaller side. But like true specialists, what they serve they serve exceptionally well. “We’re getting very good response,” Kal says proudly. “People love it.”

In the opposite corner of Thompson’s downtown core is Holy Spice North Indian Cuisine, located in the Burntwood Hotel where Grapes operated just shortly before. Here, I met co-owners Kapil and Manny Sharman in the Burntwood Hotel’s Miner Room, chatting with brother and fellow entrepreneur Nama. Fresh out of a staff meeting in a fresh-pressed suit and slacks, Kapil is all business: he’s the financial brains of the restaurant, while Manny brings 35 years in the food industry, split between restaurants in India and his restaurant in Winnipeg - Dhoom. “For more than seven years, we’ve been thinking we need to open a new restaurant in Thompson, and we finally get to do it.”

Holy Spice offers a more traditional dine-in experience: the large restaurant space will fit a party of six comfortably, while their robust menu offers ample opportunity to explore North Indian cuisine to your heart’s content. The menu is huge, and Sharman says it’s only slated to grow in the coming months: already featuring a classically western breakfast menu, Sharman hopes to feature more Canadian-style food on the menu in the near future. “Most people aren’t used to East Indian food, and we don’t want to lose those people.”

But despite their differences, all restaurants meet at the same crossroads. When asked what goes into a successful restaurant, both Singh and Sharman, word for word, gave the same answer: “Good food, good service.”

Electricity, solar power and crystals

BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Earlier this month, the Thompson Citizen reported on annual science fairs occurring in Mystery Lake’s elementary schools. There were a few high-scoring projects deserving of notice that were not featured in last week’s issue.

Burntwood Elementary School’s best-in-fair featured Zaria Stevens in the kindergarten to Grade 3 category, while Saad Alam won in the Grades 4-6 category.

Stevens’s project explained

the principles of electricity, highlighting a circuit’s polarity with a battery and a rudimentary closed circuit connected to a robot figurine: when the circuit was closed, the robot’s eyes lit up. Alam elaborated on the concept by constructing a small, working model of a solar-powered car, demonstrating how both gasoline and solar power can be utilized for the same applications. Alam learned that solar power and electricity can power a vehicle as well as gasoline can, along with several advantages: “They

don’t need gas, and they cause much less pollution than regular cars.” He did note a drawback, though: “If it’s not sunny, the car will have no use.”

Juniper School’s science fair featured two highscoring projects that curiously complemented each other. Madison Jackson placed fi rst for her solo project on crystal formation, where she experimented with the optimal temperature for borax crystal formation; she found refrigerated water

grew the largest crystals.

On the other hand, Arianna Vokey and Serenity Crait won second for their edible crystals: “They’re kind of like rock candy, except they don’t pop in your mouth. I might have broken off a few pieces,” Arianna said, grinning.

Both projects made the crystals using a similar method: saturating a hot liquid, allowing it to cool, and suspending a surface, like a string or a popsicle stick, on which the crystals can collect.

Editorial

Liquor Mart mulls relocation

T

he problems that beset Thompson’s downtown core are often attributed to a couple of main causes, one being the homeless shelter and the other the Liquor Mart, with the proximity of the two and their central locations considered a detriment to the area.

Moving one or the other – or both – is frequently touted as a solution. While it seems unlikely that the homeless shelter is headed anywhere – many cities have homeless shelters downtown because that’s where you usually find homeless people – the Liquor Mart (and the provincial government that owns and manages it) is willing to consider a different location.

A meeting was scheduled for March 29 to discuss the possibility of the store relocating to a freestanding building on the City Centre Mall property. While this may not be technically downtown, and is at least a little further from the homeless shelter than the current location, the proposed new site may not be enough of a move for some, who consider the industrial area near the south end of town as the preferred location, not only for Liquor Mart but for the homeless shelter as well, though moving both there would merely transfer the problem across town.

It’s doubtful that this proposed relocation of the Liquor Mart will solve Thompson’s downtown problems, if and when it comes to pass. No matter where the alcohol is sold, those who want it – and particularly those who are addicted to it – will find a way to get there. Ultimately, it’s not the product or the store that sells it that is the problem – it’s the undesirable and unacceptable behaviours that result from drunkenness and addiction. Unfortunately, addressing them is far more complicated than simply moving a few puzzle pieces to a different location.

Letter to the Editor

In my own words: mustard of setbacks To the Editor: “Mustard of setbacks.” How often we find ourselves mustard with setbacks on interim, constant or either way. Setbacks are part of our lives and we do feel gratitude when things go the way we want them to. Mustard of setbacks may cause us to give up on any moment and feel like it’s a waste of time, energy and useless to continue. It can be dramatized at times and we can give up on our own dreams of hope anytime. Where is our sense of wholeness, peace and serenity to live? Our lives are fi lled with peaks and valleys. Our mustard of setbacks in life is a marathon length of because, how and why, not filled with sprints or a 100-yard dash.

Guilty as charged, but forgiven

We never want to take the blame for anything, even when it ours. Growing up in a family of eight children, I was either being blamed or blaming someone else. Owning up to something wasn’t something that brought about a positive outcome but punishment. Not owning up to it, though, usually brought about its own problems and consequences. No matter what, it always seemed that my parents and teachers knew it was me anyways. I sometimes would ask, “How did you know it was me?” The answer was always the same from my Mom, “A little birdie told me.” If only I could have got my hands on that bird.

But then that would have just been another thing I would have been blamed for.

This week we remember Jesus’ death and resurrection. We think of His sacrifi ce on the cross for our sins and His resurrection from the dead that has brought us life. But

before His death and after His resurrection we have a story of blame, guilt and denial.

At Jesus’ trial, Pilate was willing to release Jesus, but the priests and elders wanted Him executed. We read of it in Matthew 27:20-26.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. (21) “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered. (22) “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ? ” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!” (23) “Why? What crime has he com-

mitted? ” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” (24) When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” (25) All the people answered, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!” (26) Then he released Barabbas to them.

But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

They take ownership of Jesus’ execution. Yet, it isn’t long before they deny any part of it. As the mes-

Acts 5:27-28: Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest.

RDPC athletes of the month: David King and Tressa McDonald

New security camera systems being installed in TRCC and Norplex Pool

BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

David King and Tressa McDonald have been selected as R.D. Parker Collegiate’s athletes of the month for March.

King has been playing basketball for four years, and the sport has treated him well; though he plays with the junior team, he was called up for the senior provincial competition, competing with players mostly in Grade 11 and Grade 12.

His team had an exceptional season as a whole as well, finishing with 13 wins and two losses in the regular season, winning the zone championship, and 14-4 after the provincials, where they lost in the consolation finals.

King is a multitalented athlete with a zest for all manner of sports, loving the competition that they come with. He believes he was selected for his performance during the season. “I’ve just been playing really well,” King said.

Tressa McDonald is also a junior basketball play-

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The City of Thompson is $82,584.58 to install a new security camera system in the Thompson Regional Community Centre and the Norplex Pool.

Council unanimously passed a resolution Feb. 16 to award the security system project to KNC Electric, one of three companies, along with SeeCan Digital

and Wescan Cardac, that responded to a request for proposals sent out Jan. 4.

The winning bid was the lowest of the three, with SeeCan Digital’s price being $85,225.28 and Wescan Cardac’s $92,646.40.

The original budgeted amount for the security system, initially planned only for the TRCC, was $54,000. Prior to sending out the request for propos-

als, the scope of the project expanded to include the Norplex Pool, recreation director John Burrows said in a Feb. 10 memo.

The $28,584.58 difference between the budgeted amount and the actual cost will be allocated from the city’s Building for Tomorrow Fund. The GST portion of the project’s cost – $3,686.81 will be refunded back to the city.

Thompson Citizen photo by Kacper Antoszewski Tressa McDonald and David King er, having begun playing competitively as early as Grade 5. McDonald’s team also had a great year, emerging victorious in zones, and winning the provincial consolation final against University of Winnipeg Collegiate Wesmen.

For McDonald, basketball just clicked. “I don’t know

what it is, but I love it.” She believes she was selected for being a great role model, and supporting her teammates whenever she could.

With the basketball season over, King will be trying out for badminton in the coming weeks. McDonald, on the other hand, is considering track and field.

Correction The article titled “Public meeting on wastewater treatment plan hears concerns about per-meter billing” in the March 16 Thompson Citizen misquoted Allied Rental’s Cheryl Crawley as saying, “You’re asking one person to pay over $40,000.” Crawley actually said, “You’re asking one person to pay $81,000 or more.” The Citizen apologizes for the error.
