Looking back at her 16year run as an educator in Thompson, Brady said she’s always taken pride in being a “hands-on” school board trustee.

In terms of here position at

The Trojans then cruised to a berth in the final with an 81-39 victory over the Westgate Mennonite Collegiate Wings.

"That one was much better."

After claiming the title, the players were "ecstatic," said Sim. "They're a pretty excited group of girls, that's for sure," the coach said.

"Definitely lots of emotions, especially for the Grade 12s with it being their last year, it was a good way for them to go

Ashley Williams was named the tournament MVP, while Hannah Murdy was selected as a tournament all-star.

Murdy and teammate Casey Singh are the only members of this year's team to have been on the roster for the 2016 championship.

The Trojan boys opened provincials with a 76-58 loss to the second-ranked Neelin High School Spartans, who went on to capture the championship.

Their tournament ended with a 70-67 loss to the St. John's-Ravenscourt Eagles in the first round of the consolation playoffs.

Change isn’t only meant for seasons

BY KYLIE MATECHUK

Fall in Northern Manitoba is one of the prettiest sights to witness.

The colours all around us are gorgeous and it’s a huge realization that change can be a wonderful thing. We often forget how beautiful the preparation for death of this season actually is. Summer can’t last forever, as even the trees know that all good things come to end and that it’s not only a healthy action of life, but necessary that we learn to let go.

When we learn to let go, we create space and energy for new life, ex-

periences and opportunities to occur. As humans we are sometimes paralyzed with that fear of not knowing if we will experience being content and fulfilled as we are now.

We don’t know what’s to come, so we stay where we are. The trees know that they can shed their leaves because new leaves will always come back in the spring. They won’t be the exact same as the leaves they shed, but they might be even more beautiful than the leaves before. Just like life. You don’t know what’s to come, but life keeps on going regardless.

Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation council member Bonnie Linklater accepted these funds at the end of Saturday’s festivities, and told the crowd that the money will also go towards paying for a new bike path and extra lighting fixtures along the stretch of road where the three children were biking and walking when they were hit by a vehicle.

“I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart,” she said. “Even though it’s cloudy today I woke up this morning [thinking] it’s so beautiful because we’re coming together as a community and we’re doing something awesome for our youth.”

The community has already received over $64,000 through their official Go Fund Me page, and they are aiming to raise a grand total of $100,000.

Attendees of Saturday’s mini-festival mini festival included Churchill-Keewatinook Aski NDP MP Niki Ashton, her father, former Thompson MLA Steve Ashton, as well as current Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey, whose electoral division includes Nelson House. Lindsey told the Thompson Citizen that dangerous road conditions are a constant source of anxiety for members of his constituency.

“If there’s things I can do to get the government to help the community with things like road improvements or bike paths, I’m certainly willing to step in.”

RCMP calls for service up about 10 per cent from previous year

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Enforcement activities related to the Thompson RCMP’s priority focus areas are up over the last quarter of the 2017-18 fiscal year, with more drug warrants executed and more drunk drivers, as well as more youth engagement activities, commanding officer Insp. Kevin Lewis told councillors at their May 22 meeting.

Overall, municipal Thompson RCMP officers responded to 17,421 calls for service from April 1 of last year to March 31 of this year, including 784 traffic tickets that were issued, up from 612 the year before.

In the fourth quarter of the reporting year – January, February and March of this year – Thompson RCMP kept tabs on 32 prolific offenders in the community, executed 13 drug warrants and laid 20 impaired driving charges, while also issuing 90 traffic tickets, taking part in 336 community relations events and conducting 709 harm reduction actions.

Offender management is designed to deter criminal activity by known criminals through methods such as visiting those who have been released from prison or custody on court-ordered conditions and returning

them to custody if they are determined to be violating those conditions.

Drug warrants have led to seizure of substantial amounts of cocaine as well as some marijuana, Lewis said.

“We’re seeing a consistent level of cocaine in the city.

We’re not seeing meth, thank God, right now but as it stands there was a considerable amount of cocaine that was taken off the streets in the last three months from January to March.”

RCMP are also working to reduce the number of times they deal with people with addictions issues.

“We also have Project Detox which identifies highrisk individuals that interact with police on a regular basis,” Lewis said. “We try to get them into the court system to get mandated drug counselling and treatment, which is slowly working for some of the individuals.”

Responding to a question from Coun. Duncan Wong regarding vandalism, Lewis said there is usually a correlation between that activity and how many youth in care have gone absent without leave (AWOL) from group homes in Thompson.

“If they’re AWOL from the group homes that means they’re probably out there up to no good,” Lewis said. “We

try to intercept them before they get to that point.”

Lewis also said that, while calls for service went up about 1,700 calls, or more than 10 per cent, from 201617 to 2017-18, the numbers are not out of line with what the detachment has seen in previous years.

“There’s been years where it was up into the 18,000s so it’s still lower than it has been but again it just depends on who’s out of jail, how many youth we have right now,” Lewis said.

Some changes can be attributed to changes in the way RCMP reports incidents.

“Previous years we did not score missing persons for AWOL youth so now we see about 2,000 AWOL youth coming from the group homes,” he said.

The period when community safety officers (CSOs) could not enforce provincial statutes also had an effect on crime numbers, as does the reduction from eight CSOs to six.

“They normally would to take the heat off of us and we see that with the lodging numbers that they lodge in cells lower now than they have been before,” Lewis said. “They usually look after 90 per cent of that for us.”

Coun. Penny Byer asked what harm reduction activ-

“Whether it’s, say, a vulnerable female or a vulnerable youth in an intoxicated state around individuals that may be nefarious, it could be somebody that’s passing out in the snow, those types of activities where somebody’s life or some type of danger to these individuals,” said Lewis.

Mayor Dennis Fenske pointed out that an increase in some policing statistics is a good thing, such as the detachment increasing youth

engagement activities from 470 in 2016-17 to more than 600 in the year that ended March 31.

“We want that number to go way up,” said the mayor. “The more the RCMP interact with youth, the more comfortable the youth are with them.”

Fenske also said the partnership between Thompson RCMP and the CSOs is being noticed outside the city, including at the national level. Fenske was in Ottawa recently for a con-

ference that included an address by newly appointed RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki, who was formerly stationed in Thompson, and deputy commissioner Kevin Brousseau, who used to be the Manitoba “D” Division commanding officer.

“It was very humbling to hear both the commissioner and the deputy commissioner highlight to all across Canada in that room the CSO program in Thompson,” Fenske said. “It speaks volumes.”

Organizer gearing up for 2018 Gutsy Walk

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Dave Moore has been spreading the word about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in Thompson for the past two decades and is looking to continue that tradition with the community’s 23rd-annual Gutsy Walk on June 3.

Similar to last year’s walk, participants will be asked to complete a two-kilometre loop around the city’s downtown core in order to raise awareness for a set of diseases that, Moore says, don’t get talked about enough.

Both Crohn’s and colitis involve inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which disrupts the body’s ability to digest food, absorb nutrition and eliminate waste in a healthy manner.

“It’s embarrassing, and there’s a lot of fatigue associated with the disease,” said Moore, whose wife is currently living with both conditions. “The walk is a very short for that reason, because people with the affliction can’t walk very far.”

This touchy subject is made even worse by the fact that, even though one out of every 150 Canadians are affected by these diseases, a lot of the research surrounding Crohn’s and colitis remains inconclusive.

“They still don’t know what the triggers are,” said Moore, who works as a sales manager for CHTM Radio.

“The problem with the disease … is it’s different for everybody.”

However, Moore still remains hopeful about this year’s Gutsy Walk event,

since Thompson residents have always gone out of their way to show their support.

“It’s been a successful walk every year in regard to getting the word out,” he said. “And it’s not just money collected. It’s important to me, as well, to get the message out as well as collecting funds.”

In fact, over the last two years Moore said he’s been collecting record figures through the Thompson Gutsy Walk, with the event’s 2017 total evening out to all-time high of $10,657.

“Two years ago Thompson was the best in Manitoba and then last year we were

the best in Canada, per capita, of raising funds,” he said.

“So that’s quite a feather in our cap for Thompson. It’s a very generous town.”

While Moore isn’t anticipating that same level of donations for the 2018 Gutsy Walk, he is still going out of his way to encourage locals to make donations, either through Thompson’s official page on the Crohn’s and Colitis Canada website or by contacting him directly at 204-679-5732.

For those wanting to participate, the walk itself is set to kick off at CHTM headquarters on Cree Road at 12 p.m. on Sunday, June 3.

Community Clean Up Day targets garbage revealed by spring thaw

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

While springtime brings warmer weather, in Thompson it means contending with a high volume of trash as well.

The city government is fully aware of this fact, and is gearing up for this year’s annual Community Clean Up Day June 2, when citizens are encouraged to collect garbage around town for a cash reward.

Neil MacLaine, the new director of the public works department, says the rate still stands at $3 a bag, although the Thompson Recycling Centre is offering $4 for every bag of recyclable material.

“And it has to be good recyclable material,” he said.

“If it’s contaminated stuff that can’t be recycled, then they can’t accept it.”

Just like last year’s event, MacLaine specified that participants can pick up gloves, bags and water at Robin’s Donuts and will be given the chance to collect as much litter as they can from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In order to fill up their bags as quickly as possible, MacLaine suggests that

Grade 3−4 students from La Voie Du Nord got a head start on this communal spring cleaning by picking up garbage in and around their school on the morning of May 28. participants should go off the beaten path and seek out areas of the city beyond the immediate downtown core.

“Any city park is always a good space. In or around the Norplex Pool, any vacant areas like that,” he said. “Where the snow removal contractors dump their snow, that’s a good area that nobody ever picks.”

However, some community members have gotten a

head start on this communal spring cleaning.

On May 23 captain Steve Molloy and several other members of Thompson Fire & Emergency Services (TFES) spent the better part of the morning picking up trash around the King Miner statue at the southern entrance to town.

Molloy said he and his crew were inspired to do this after noticing an increased level of trash in the surrounding community compared to previous years.

“When you’re in three different areas in town and you see general garbage, like everywhere, in my opinion, I’m thinking this is a little bit more excessive.”

Molloy went on to say that this isn’t helped by people in the community who don’t know how to dispose of their waste properly, including someone who dumped a cool-

er’s worth of fish guts near the statue less than an hour after they finished cleaning.

“It was just very unappreciative,” he said.

“We take pride in our community and we want to ... more than anything, motivate other people to just go out and start picking up garbage on their own accord.”

Thompsonites will have the chance to follow Molloy’s example either during the upcoming Community Clean Up Day June 2 or through the city’s month-long garbage collection promotion, which runs until June 22.

“You come into our public works department, you register and pick an area,” said MacLaine. “We have a map down here that we’ll draw an area and assign it to you.”

For more information on any of these promotions, please call public works at 204-677-7970.
