Responding to hazmat calls a painstaking process

When a fire or medical emergency is reported to Thompson Fire and Emergency Services (TFES), firefighter-paramedics spring into action to respond as quickly as possible.

But when they receive a call involving hazardous materials like they did April 8 when a suspicious package was delivered to the court offices at the provincial building, it’s a much different pace.

“The hazmat team is a slow-moving team,” says TFES Chief John Maskerine. “The first thing we do is we set up a safety plan and then from the safety plan we set up an operational plan and from the operational plan we set up the mitigation plan.”

Depending upon the nature of the operation, it may take as long as 60 to 90 minutes to complete all the planning, which is done in cooperation with any other agency involved, most often the RCMP. Work on the scene is led by a hazmat technician with assistance from hazmat operators.

“We have two, at the moment, hazmat techs and the hazmat tech is the fellow that goes in and does all the fine work,” says Maskerine, though four more TFES members will be going through hazmat technician training next January at the Manitoba Emergency Services College in Brandon.

“We probably have between 20 to 24 hazmat ops which support the hazmat tech.”

Hazardous materials operations and hazardous materials awareness are part of the standard training that must be completed

Jim Lamb, the department’s hazardous materials team leader and one of two TFES hazmat technicians, displays the suit he may have to put on to respond to a call involving potentially dangerous chemicals. before beginning work as a firefighter.

“They’re not fully trained to go in with what we call the bee suit, totally encapsulated suit, to do any work with that,” said Maskerine. “These ones are a heavy rubber suit and they’re green. Your breathing apparatus goes on first, then your suit goes over top of it so if you’re suffering from any type of claustrophobia you will never get into a suit, I will guarantee you that. It looks much like a space suit.”

In the case of the recent call to the provincial building, one of the hazmat technicians was already on duty, along with half-

a-dozen hazmat operators.

The other technician was called in to help respond to the call. After the building employees had been evacuated, TFES hazmat technicians donned protective gear and breathing apparatus before venturing inside to take photographs of the suspicious package.

“We came out and viewed pictures with the RCMP and we took it that it did not look like any type of explosive device that was attached to it and it had been handled by the employees of the government already, so after the safety plan was done and the action plan was done, we went in and mitigated and went in to

Other calls have nothing to do with police investigations.

“If we had, say, a mishap at the high school in one of the science labs, a spill, then what we would probably do is evacuate the high school and we would be the ones that go up and do the cleanup,” says Maskerine.

“It could be as simple as if you had a pallet of Javex or pool chemicals at Canadian Tire, if you had a mishap there or a forklift dumped it Continued on Page 3

“That package was put into a smaller container, then it went into the larger container and was sealed and locked and the RCMP in turn put an exhibit sticker on it and it was put into a safe location where nobody could get at it.”

TFES’s hazmat technicians and operators cover the area from Thompson to Gillam and everything in between, and could also be called to places like The Pas if necessary. They were previously called by RCMP to assess when the police suspected was a methamphetamine lab in Thompson, though it turned out not to be, and to help out at

WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE IS PUTTING YOUR CHILD AT RISK Sugar-loaded drinks like pop, juice, sports drinks, energy drinks and vitamin waters are the largest source of sugar in the diet and are putting your child at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, obesity and diabetes.

Thirty-eight students from R.D Parker Collegiate put a lock on their fridges and stomachs to take part in a 30-hour famine, raising funds for World Vision.

Robyn Foley is one of the organizers, and an English teacher at the high school.

She says she started running these famines in 2006 for students, because of the impact it had on her as a student. Susannah Mueller, another English teacher at the high school, has been helping her out

since then, on and off.

Students stopped eating at 1 p.m. on May 1, and after school met with Foley and Mueller to discuss the next 30 hours. “After school we met at the theatre, recapped why we’re doing this, talked about the signs of dehydration, because they’re going to have to drink a lot of water, we talked about what to do if they have headaches, because they can’t have medication, too.

It all comes down to water during this event.”

Participants were then

sorted into different tribes, and within each tribe members had different disadvantages. During games, the students with the disadvantages would have to play the game while mimicking their condition. One included being blind, so the student had to wear an eye patch. Another one was being a hungry child, which meant carrying around a backpack full of dictionaries during the activities. “We tried to mix it so that it’s people that you wouldn’t normally hang out with.

new friends, or even new perspectives. The idea behind this is all about new perspectives,” Foley noted.

For Reagan McLellan, a grade 12 student, this is the second famine she’s done. “For the past couple of years I’ve been wanting to do it again, but we’ve never had it. I thought since it’s my last year I might as well do it again.”

McLellan is also a member of Students Offering Support (S.O.S), which helped out during the event.

Throughout the 30 hours, students got to eat three one-cup bowls of rice - one in the evening during the first night, one around 10 a.m. the next day, and then the last bowl at 3 p.m.

McLellan says it’s hard to eat that rice, when you’re not used to eating just that.

“It really made me appreciate what I have, plus it was really gummy and weird, it’s just plain white rice.”

R.D Parker Collegiate has always raised more than $1,000 every time this event is held Foley explained, and even World Vision Canada has taken notice, acknowledging the steady fundraising efforts from Thompson. “It’s always a good turnout, and it’s a good chance for students to try something new. You often see a different side of these students, that they don’t have the opportunity to explore within the school day.”

Although it’s McLellan’s last 30-hour famine in high school, she hopes this year’s turnout encourages more to take part. “I think it’s important for schools to have a 30-hour famine so we can get a small taste of what Third World countries are going through, and what they have to deal with every day. I just think if anyone has the chance to do it next year, they sure definitely do it. It’s a real experience.”

This year Thompson students raised $2,491, which will go towards ending poverty, hunger and child exploitation around the globe.

Career fair shows students different options

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Students and people looking for jobs were in luck when a career fair set up in the C.A Nesbitt Arena all day on April 29. Louise Dewar, student recruitment officer for University College of the North (UCN), says a lot of the booths were companies looking for employees in the north.

“A lot of these people are here because they would hire students coming out of UCN, who have a one-year certificate program, a diploma program, or a degree program.”

Throughout the day Dewar says there were presentations, and the first one from Vale had over 90 attendees. Other presentations to students included UCN programming, the armed forces, Manitoba Hydro, and Manitoba Rocks.

Youth from the high school and junior high even had the opportunity to stop by the fair, and see if any careers sparked their interest, or any UCN courses that had set up booths like culinary arts, dental assisting, natural resources management technology, and nursing.

Correctional officer of nine years, Joe Nataweyous, set up a booth at career explorations to inform students that a career in corrections is a fulfilling job.

“We’re trying to get them as much information as they

It’s about getting your Grade 12, your drivers licence, getting ahead, and what you need to expect before you do the test.”

Nataweyous, who first wanted to become an RCMP officer, hopes to use himself as an example, showing students that if you work hard you can accomplish your dreams, and for Nataweyous, it’s about helping youth in need. “The way I see it is it makes me happy helping young

people, and people of any age when they’re incarcerated. I feel comfortable trying to help young people.

Now I want to try and get more people into the field to help the people in prison.”

Dion McIvor, who is the recruitment officer for the Northern Regional Health Authority (NRHA), was also there speaking to the public. McIvor says he’s given out career information to interested individuals. “We’re here to pro-

mote health careers to the students, and to prepare them for what courses to take, and what careers are available. We’ve had a few come by, and we did hand out some information on EMT, forensic science, and for dietitians.”

The day was a great success, Dewar says, and it’s never too late to start in a career, noted Nataweyous, who says many correctional officers started in the field in their 40s.

MTS INC. Herbicide Use Program

PUBLIC NOTICE

Preventing contamination Continued from Page 1 all on the ground then hazmat would be called to clean that up. We also service the airport so if there was something on board and aircraft that they were suspicious of then RCMP and Thompson Fire and Emergency Service would be first on line.”

Most products with the highest potential for dangerous spills spend little to no time in Thompson.

“A lot of the oil products and chemical products that are on rail bypasses us on that line that goes directly to Churchill so we never see it,” the chief says. “The chemicals we

would see at our sidings are products that are going into Vale and it’s usually never sitting. It is put on the track and brought right to their property.”

All the equipment used in hazmat calls is stored in a hazmat trailer owned by the province’s Office of the Fire Commissioner, which has a total value of approximately $1 million and is one of four such trailers around the province.

The unit includes cleaning equipment to ensure that TFES members who attend scenes where hazardous materials may be present don’t spread the problem instead of containing it.

“When they come out of the area they’ve got to go through a decontamination process where we have the ops guys in other suits to wash them and scrub them down,” says Maskerine.

“They’re scrubbed down in a pool so none of that water would go into the drains or escape into the ground. That water is put into barrels and that also has to be shipped. It takes place right at the scene.”

TFES members also have to alert the hospital when transporting a patient from a site where hazardous materials were present so the patient can be isolated to prevent any

contamination of medical facilities.

The role of TFES’s hazmat technicians and operators is to ensure people are out of harm’s way and that a scene is safe. The testing equipment they use is just for doing surface tests and more detailed scientifi c testing would be done by the RCMP’s Winnipeg-based hazmat team.

Maskerine says his department responds to halfa-dozen or so hazmat calls a year.

“It’s not something that happens in our community constantly but it’s enough,” the chief says.

Public Notice is hereby given that MTS Inc. intends to conduct the following Herbicide Control Program during 2015 to control weeds and brush on its properties throughout Manitoba.

Projected dates of application will be May 1, 2015 – October 15, 2015.

Local Viewpoint

Lower taxes or more robots?

I

have to admit, of all the things that come to my mailbox, either the real one or the electronic version, few give me more delight than those that can be characterized as a good, old-fashioned manifesto.

In this modern era of politics, with analyses of voter behaviour and swing votes and all those millions and billions of dollars spent Ian Graham on, essentially, convincing those who agree with you to vote and those that don’t but might be willing to to get off the fence and make up their mind, it’s refreshing to realize that there are still idealists or ideologues out there who think a political system based mostly on smoke or mirrors can be torn down and a new and – in their opinion – improved one built up in its place.

Read a government press release or an opposition party equivalent and you’re likely to be drowned in the minutiae of marginal tax rates and grants and fee increases and budgets – all the boring, day-to-day stuff, which, if website hits and election day turnout are any indication, slightly more than half of people actually give two hoots about, on a good day.

Receive an email from the Canadian Raelian Movement – self-described as “the world’s largest non-profit atheist organization that explains how life on earth was created through the synthesis of DNA by an extra-terrestrial civilization known in the original Bible as Elohim” – and you won’t read about taxes or unemployment rates or infrastructure or similarly boring stuff that we all snooze past. No, indeed. The Raelians?

The Raelians are talking about a glorious future: “When all the work will be done by robots, human beings will use their free time to do what they enjoy doing: create, meditate and have fun. Money will become useless and disappear. This coming new world will be a real paradise.”

Sorry, Harper government. Doubling the contribution limit to Tax-Free Savings Account isn’t exciting anybody, except maybe those in accountancy.

A little closer to home, I got a letter with no return address and only a phone number the other day from the Reality Party of Manitoba. And what, you may ask, do they want? Well, not much.

“We ask that you join us in shredding the inert, enslaving fantasy that is government and to embrace Reality and the civil society. To this end, we propose to dismantle the provincial state in an orderly fashion. We will begin by eliminating the low-hanging fruit – mandatory state liquor, monopoly state gambling, monopoly state auto insurance and state rent controls. Public nuisances like smoking bylaws, the seat belt laws and the minimum wage will be ended.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure that the Raelians or the Realists (Realitarians?) would be more fun to hang out with at a party than our mainstream political movements. Then again, I once voted for the Communist Party of Canada candidate in a federal election in B.C. because, at that time, his niece was my girlfriend. But they probably had a pretty rousing manifesto, too.

Editorial

Kudos to those who clean up others’ mess

I

t isn’t easy to say exactly why people find littering so objectionable, but they do.

Some of them, anyways.

It’s possible it’s just a reaction to being confronted by the literally disposable nature of our society and consequently feeling ill at ease. The source of the discomfort isn’t the garbage, per se. It’s the fact that it isn’t in its place.

Others don’t seem to mind it at all and, because of this lack of concern, feel no misgivings at all about tossing whatever they no longer have a use for – be it the tail end of a cigarette, a fast food container, a can or bottle, a used diaper or an unneeded shoe – wherever they happen to be at the time, particularly in

the winter, when snow will eventually come along and cover up the evidence of their disregard for nature’s beauty or our shared responsibility for maintaining public spaces.

On the bright side, this behaviour can be changed.

Remember that blatant sexism and racism were once acceptable, along with less-serious but still irksome actions like indiscriminate spitting.

The bad news is that it hasn’t been yet and so, now that the snow has melted and reappeared and melted again for the last time – Mother Nature willing – Thompson faces an annual rite of spring less pleasurable than putting away the snow shovel and parka and winter boots:

the annual garbage cleanup.

It isn’t a task to embrace with pleasure not only because of the ick factor, but also because, quite frankly, most of the people who feel like it’s their civic duty to pitch in and make their community look its best are precisely not the ones who made it a mess in the first place. But, as with so many tasks undertaken by responsible people who aren’t to blame for things being that way – parents of messy kids will identify with this – the choice between what is fair and what is right isn’t much of a choice at all and so, begrudgingly, communityminded folks step beyond the blame game, pull on their gloves and get to

work making things right.

Luckily for them, the City of Thompson recognizes their efforts and, for the month of May, pays $3 a bag to anyone who picks up garbage in designated areas around town. And whether you donate that money to a worthy cause or spend it on candy or beer, depending upon your age and your tastes, the fact is, you earned it and you deserve it. You also deserve the thanks of all your fellow citizens, for sparing them the sight of so much litter as they go about their business. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

We can only hope that one day in the future littering becomes unacceptable and the clean-up is no longer necessary.

Letter to the Editor

In my own words: spark of kindness To the Editor:

“Spark of Kindness.” We all can put a colossal burst of kindness into someone’s life everyday. Kindness comes from within and secretly it expands outward so our lives can be a journey of joy and happiness. Ego, present judgment or thinking we’re better than the other person can divide us from that spark of kindness in our world today.

Never undermine kindness as it connects us in ways that once seemed impossible. The spark of kindness is universal and cultivates us into a platform of trust, honesty and respect with each other as well as our neighbours and friends.

Beastly Boutique robbed

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Sometime between the evening of May 2 and the following morning, the Beastly Boutique pet store in Thompson was broken into.

Staff Sgt. Kevin Lewis with the Thompson RCMP says police are still looking for the person or persons who broke the front window using a rock. The RCMP has put the call out to businesses in the area with any surveillance video from May 2-3.

Fundraising money for one of their rescue dogs, Nico, who needs $3,000 hip surgery was stolen, as well as other cash, and a white Macbook laptop.

“Our part-time workers put on a bake sale, and had $400 raised, and that’s missing,” explained owner Vicki McNevin.

McNevin found out about the break-in on Sunday morning when RCMP showed up at her home, saying she needed to come to the store. On her way there, it was the animals she was worried about. “My real concern was the dogs. I didn’t care if anything in the store was gone; I wanted to make sure the animals were OK. I was worried about poor Nelly. I was worried that he got out, and was running the streets, or if they hurt her.” Nelly is a black and white dog who stays

at the shop, and is like a best friend to McNevin.

McNevin says although break-and-enters happen everywhere, it’s still heartbreaking for the small business. “People think they need money, more than the next person needs money. I mean we struggle every day to just get by, to pay our bills and make sure we can keep the business open. I haven’t taken a paycheque in two years, so that money they stole could have been partly used to pay my bills.”

Lewis says if anyone knows any information about the crime, to please call the local detachment at 204-677-6909.

Charges pending against driver involved in hit and run with pedestrian

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

RCMP located the vehicle that hit an 11-year-old boy near Wapanohk Community School on April 27 and Highway Traffic Act charges are pending against the driver

who left the scene.

The boy was struck at the intersection of Princeton Drive and Station Road around noon. By the time police arrived, the vehicle was gone and the boy was complaining of an injured leg.

Police tracked down the vehicle and investigation continues.

RCMP are cautioning drivers to beware of pedestrians and children playing outside now that warmer weather has arrived.

May cleanup underway

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

With the start of spring and the grass turning green – knock on wood that it stays that way – it’s time for the annual May cleanup.

During the month of May, the department of public works has set up a month of events to help spruce up the city and get rid of all the litter the snow was hiding.

“People can phone us 204-677-7970, and we have a big site map of the city of Thompson. You can come down and pick the territory you want to look after. You can have it for a month, or even a day, whatever you feel comfortable with. We give you 25 bags to start, plus two recycle,” explained director of public works Wayne Koversky.

Anyone can register for the whole month, whether it is a business, an organization, a family or an individual. After each bag of garbage is filled to the brim, phone public works, let them know the area you’re in and they’ll come collect the bags. Each bag is worth

$3 and money is available for pickup at the public works office. Koversky says each team and their bags will be accounted for, so no bags will go unpaid.

Last year was a success, but Koversky noted there were a few problems with bags being taken by someone else, before public works could collect them.

“What we’ve suggested is that if they plan on picking it up on the weekend, if they can have a secure location to keep their bags until Monday, then we can pick it up.”

On May 8, there will be a special event happening for businesses. From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. businesses and organizations are encouraged to register at City Hall, and spend some time picking up trash. “Look at your personal business property and then say ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to participate in a community event that really shows Thompson pride? ’ We really want to enhance our city, culturally and socially. When people see a clean city it sends the message that we care about

each other,” Koversky added. In 2014 only a handful of businesses took part, so public works is hoping this year to be busier.

If you’re not part of a business, May 9 is the community clean up date, which all residents can take part in. From 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at Robins Donuts bags will be distributed, and full bags will receive instant cash for the trash.

Koversky says this month the department is also offering a curbside pickup for larger items like couches and fridges.

To be part of this pickup, it will cost $50.50 for the month. “Come down and pay us first, and then we’ll pick them up and take them to the landfill. It’s $33 for the pickup fees, and then $17.50 for landfill fees.

We’re not adding costs, just offering a pickup program,” Koversky says.

Other public works initiatives are also open, like the compost site, and the ewaste depot, which is open on Saturdays. Household hazard chemicals disposal will be Sept. 19 at City Hall.

Mystery Mountain Winter Park

Automotive students from R.D. Parker Collegiate travelled to Winnipeg last month to take part in the World of Wheels. The one-day career day event took place at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, and students had the chance to speak with employees in the automotive industry andsee different types of cars and career options.

Mick Slack, the automotive technology teacher at the high school, says 16 Grade 12 students were invited to attend, and 10 of them took the trip. All 10, nine males and one female, are currently working in the automotive industry parttime.

“They thought it was fantastic, they loved it,” said Slack. “They had a career day the Friday we went. So they have two classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon and they get to meet all the presenters one-on-one. They had the whole area to themselves.”

World of Wheels began in 2006 as a way to support automotive educational programs at different schools

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Mick Slack Ten students from the Grade 12 automotive technology course at R.D. Parker Collegiate travelled to Winnipeg for World of Wheels career day on March 20. by showing students the wide range of opportunities available through the industry.

This was the first year Thompson students have attended as a class trip, and Slack says they’re hoping to make it an annual trip, as Grade 11 students were not included. “They were a little bit upset they weren’t allowed to go, but I said that’s next year and

something to look forward to. We want to start a tradition for them, for it to be a Grade 12 annual trip.”

This event let Thompson students see things in the industry that they can’t see up north. “They got to see everything, talk one-onone, examine the exhibits without the general public, and they were able to see the stuff we see in books, in person. A lot of people

in Thompson have never seen that kind of stuff.”

The students may not have had the chance to drive any fast cars during the career day, but they did drive some go-karts, which Slack says was another highlight for the Thompsonites.

The trip ended up costing each student $150, with the rest being funded through the School District of Mystery Lake.

Yoga here, yoga there, yoga everywhere

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

If it seems like yoga is everywhere you look these days, you aren’t mistaken, and Thompsonites are taking up the activity in locations all over town.

Kylie Matechuk opened Mo Tus Nua Wellness in Thompson because she loved the feeling after yoga, and wanted others to feel the same way. “Yes, doing yoga increases your flexibility, strengthens major muscles, and connective tissues and all that awesome physical stuff that draws us to it, but, wow, the mental benefits are indescribable. You have a new hunger for living. I knew I couldn’t live without that feeling, and I wanted to share that with everyone else, because of that feeling. I want everyone to feel good about their life, and yoga, I promise, will help you feel that. Maybe for the first time in your life, or maybe to find it again.”

People do yoga for different reasons, but one of the most important reasons is because it’s a mindbody connection, and a holistic practice. Matechuk says it’s a way for someone to release the negative energy within while strengthening his or her body.

The Thompson Public Library has also joined in on the yoga movement.

Library assistant Amanda Sanders says children participating in story time in April were practising yoga. Matechuk visits the library once a month and teaches a class, and Sanders says she even leads a class here and there.

The story time group took part in

the Mo Tus Nua’s Spring Into Yoga Challenge. Matechuk started this challenge at the beginning of April.

“Our yoga challenge #MoTusNuaSpringIntoYoga has surpassed our expectations. Our goal is to connect everyday average people with yoga. We want people to realize that everyone can do yoga. No matter your size, gender, age or ability. All you need is someone who can take a picture or video of you, and post it on social media along with the challenge rules. A yoga challenge on social media connects people in a really fun way. We’ve had people from as far as Milwaukie join our challenge.”

Sanders says yoga gives the children a good break from the usual books and crafts during Thursday and Saturday story time. “It gets them thinking about mindfulness, proper breathing and most importantly what their body is capable of when they challenge themselves and break out of their comfort zone. I find that the first few times we did yoga in the library the kids were really shy and hesitant to try the poses, but at this point the kids get excited and are eager to try the poses. When Kylie comes in she has such a great talent of bringing in a story that has a great lesson to it, and teaching the kids fun songs and poses that they just love! Also here at the library we are all about bringing literacy to children in different formats, and sometimes that is incorporated with physical activity of some sort, working the body and the mind, which are fundamentals in yoga.”

The library has added a large number of yoga-related books to

But if that’s not enough yoga for Thompson there’s more being offered. Classes have been offered at R.D. Parker Collegiate and Juniper Elementary School, and take place at St. James Anglican Church on Tuesday and Thursdays. Linda Toews, instructor for those classes, say it’s about teaching others what she’s learnt. “When I listen, my

yoga practice has shown me where fears hide and where love resides.

Yoga invites me to be present every day, to pay attention, to let go of what I don’t need anymore, to flow with life and not struggle against what is. My physical and mental suffering have been greatly reduced. I hold yoga classes to pass on the teachings that have been given to me in hopes that they may make a difference in another being’s life.”

The proposed active ingredients are: 2, 4-D, picloram, triclopyr, aminopyralid and metsulfuron – methyl.

Success for All

Wednesday, May 6, 2015

They may not show up to get your cat out of a tree, but Thompson Fire & Emergency Services (TFES) firefighter paramedics do a lot more than meets the eye.

“Cats out of the trees and power poles is usually looked after by Manitoba Hydro,” says TFES Chief John Maskerine, whose department provides water and rope rescue, community education and contributes towards local fundraising and good causes.

“That’s part of the fire service’s tradition for 200 years, probably, that fire service has always been part of the community and if you needed something this is where you come to get it,” Maskerine says.

“Most fire departments, if you go through the smaller communities in Canada, you’ll find that your No. 1 fire station is your showcase downtown and where do you go if you need something, whether it’s directions or help or whatever you needed, this is where you would go. You went to that fire

station and that hasn’t changed. We still have people knocking on our doors that need help or, ‘Can I bring my little one in and let him look at the trucks?’ By all means.”

TFES also comes to the help of those who find themselves in an unsafe situation, often involving rope rescue or water rescue teams.

“Our high angle rescue team, right now, we have six on the rope,” says the chief. “They can do high angle but most of their stuff is rope rescue. The last training session we had with the government when fire commissioner’s trainers come up was two years ago and we were using the MTS building and we were doing our work off the side of the MTS building from the top.”

All of the department’s members are trained in water rescue and TFES has 12 cold water submersion suits that keep the wearer afloat and capable of surviving in cold water for up to 24 hours. “That is a busy team,” says the chief. “Our water rescue team is probably activated, on average, 10 to 12 times a year. Most of our calls are to the Miles Hart Bridge. People that are in peril and having bad days.”

Fortunately the department doesn’t have to respond to many calls involving people accidentally falling through the ice, a fact Maskerine credits to work done to educate people, especially young ones, about the risks of thin ice.

“There’s the odd one that may get a little close and the RCMP will catch them and talk to them about the dangers of ice or one of our guys coming back from an ambulance trip to the airport will see them down there so they’ll stop and educate in regards to thin ice and how fast that water actually is,” Maskerine says.

Other educational initiatives include school tours and the chief for the day program.

“When we bring the little ones down, we always make sure that we have one of our ladies or our guys get dressed up in full turnout gear with the breathing apparatus on and everything so the little ones know he’s not a monster, he’s not there to scare you, so God forbid, if something happened in your own home and we’re coming looking, for you don’t hide from us. Let us know where you are if you can and we’ll come and get you.”

program has been running for eight years under the direction of Deputy Chief Rick Morris, with Grade 3 and 4 students at all of Thompson’s schools participating.

“They have to do a fire escape plan from their own homes or apartments,” says Maskerine.

“The department will view all the artwork that these little ones bring in and we will pick the best one that we think depicts a good escape route and a place that the family would meet after that is activated in the house. The child is brought down to the station and he or she is the chief for the day. She calls the shots or he calls the shots and it’s been well received from schools, the students and the families involved. The guys like it, too. It brings smile to the face to see somebody sitting in this office rather than me.”

Other activities undertaken by TFES include playing Santa at Christmas time, visiting the personal care home, inspecting potential locations for outdoor backyard fire pits and investigating fires.

“All fires are investigated in the City of Thompson whether it’s a trash fire, a backyard grass fire we have to go over and have a look and find cause and determine why it happened,” says Maskerine, who is a Level 3 fire investigator. There are two Level 2 investigators with TFES but they will soon undergo training for Level 3 certification.

TFES also work with Manitoba Conservation if the need arises.

“They’re a great team of people to have on our side,” the chief says. “If we had a wildland fire that erupted close to a neighbourhood in Thompson, we would first action it and it wouldn’t be long after that that you would see the helicopters and the crews coming in. All it is is one call and they’re here for us so we’ve got a double team there that is next to none.”

If that wasn’t enough, TFES also handles 10 times as many calls as some similarly staffed stations in larger cities, responding to 5,770 requests for service in 2014.

“And we do everything out of one station,” says Maskerine. “A lot of places are running two or three stations and they’re getting close to our numbers but they’re not there yet.”

Defeat Depression Walk coming up soon

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A walk to raise money for the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba (MDAM) is just around the corner. The funds will be supporting the self-help, non-profit organization that offers programming for free in Thompson.

Ron Buchanan, Thompson outreach manager for the MDAM, says the fundraising is important, but not the most important part of the walk. “Awareness and education is the most important.

It brings together people in the community, showing it’s okay to talk about mental illness and

raise awareness to break down the stigma.”

The walk started three years ago, when Jennifer Whalen, mental health promotion co-ordinator for the Northern Regional Health Authority (NRHA), noticed another organization backed out of holding the walk. “I did want the funding to go to mental health programming, and programs in Thompson. It made sense to let someone benefit from that, and that’s why we started the walk.”

The Defeat Depression Walk has come a long way in three years, says Kristen Douglas, administrative assistant for the behavioural

health promotion/prevention and support services. “I took part in the first year, but I think there were two or three other walks going on the same day, so there wasn’t very many of them out with us.”

Buchanan agreed, saying the first year there were only 15 walkers.

Last year, the walk attracted 80 participants who brought in more than $5,000, and this year the committee is aiming for 100 walkers and a fundraising goal of $7,000.

Douglas says you can register online at www.defeatdepression. ca. “You can go to the defeat depression website and look for

Thompson, and you can register that way. You can register as an individual or as a team. You can raise money online and offline, because there’s pledge forms.”

Whalen says anyone looking for offline pledge forms can visit her office or email her at jwhalen@ nrha.ca.

The MDAM is mostly funded by government grants and through fundraising, and Buchanan says the grants are becoming less, and with the rising costs of expenses, fundraising is very important for the future of his programming.

More than 75 per cent of all funds raised during this walk will stay in

Thompson with less than 25 per cent going to the Mood Disorders Society of Canada.

Buchanan says with the success of the event in Thompson, one is starting now in The Pas this June, and talks are currently being held about holding one in Flin Flon next year.

The walk is on May 9, starting at the Thompson Plaza by the NRHA clinic. The event will kick off at noon, with the walk starting at 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome to either run or walk the five kilometre route. The entire walk will be on the sidewalk with crossing guards at all intersections.

Girls’ doubles badminton team takes silver at provincials

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

R.D. Parker Collegiate’s Kendra Hanson and Paige Krentz upped their game at the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association badminton provincials in Winkler May 1-2, winning all but one round robin match and then losing in the girls’ doubles title match to a team from Vincent Massey Collegiate in Winnipeg, who had to beat the Thompson twosome twice after qualifying for the final through the B-side playoffs.

Cassandra Bosc and Joely Valencerina won 2113, 22-20 in the deciding match after pushing to final to a second match with a 21-9, 21-8 win.

Krentz and Hanson made it to the final by

beating Madie Gylywoychuk-Winkler and Kaylin Shroeder of Carman Collegiate 21-16, 18-21, 2116 in the A-side final after knocking off Emily Hunter and Destiny Allen of Hamiota Collegiate 21-16, 15-21, 21-18 in the semifinal. RDPC’s pair opened the playoffs with a 21-15 win over a team from Gilbert Plains Collegiate.

Hanson and Krentz, who qualified for provincials by finishing second in girls’ doubles at the Zone 11 championships in Thompson April 2425, finished second in their pool in the round robin, racking up six wins in seven games, including a pair of two-point wins, with their only loss coming to Gylywoychuk-

Winkler and Shroeder.

RDPC’s other representatives at provincials – Noman Khawar and Savannah Szocs – were fourth in their pool in the mixed doubles round robin with a 4-3 record. That qualified them for the consolation playoffs, which they opened with a 21-14 victory over the WrightRodgers team from MacGregor Collegiate Institute.

They followed that up with a 21-15 victory over the Yang-Liang twosome from Vincent Massey High School in Brandon before meeting their match in the Jeanson-Janze team from Carman Collegiate, who they beat 27-25 in the semifinal before meeting them again in the final, losing 20-22 in the first

Manitoba’s teams finished third and fourth at the 2015 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which wrapped up May 2, the female team prevailing 3-2 over Alberta to claim the bronze while the male squad was edged 5-4 by British Columbia in the bronze medal match.

Norman Wild players played a big role for the third-place female team, with Thompson’s Kerri-Ann Sweeny scoring the game-winning goal about midway through the second period, assisted by Nicole Poker of Norway House Cree Nation, who scored Manitoba’s first goal of the game in the opening frame.

Manitoba fell 4-1 to Saskatchewan in the female tournament semifinals after having opened the playoffs with an 11-0 win over Team Atlantic. Sweeny and Poker each had goals in that game while Alyssa Bertholet, another member of the Wild, scored twice.

Manitoba’s female squad went 2-1 in the round robin, opening with an 8-1 win over Team North April 27 and losing 3-0 to Alberta the following day before finishing with a 4-2 win over Saskatchewan. Sweeny had a goal and an assist in Manitoba’s first game, while

Poker had a goal and an assist against Saskatchewan. Other Northern Manitoba representatives on the female team included Julie Albert of Norway House Cree Nation, assistant coaches Christina Keeper of Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation and Kali Leary of Norway House Cree Nation and manager Lynette Kryminski of Cross Lake.

Tony Apetagon of Norway House Cree Nation, a member of the 2014-15 AAA Norman Northstars, had goals in the male team’s 6-2 semifinal loss to Saskatchewan and their playoff-opening 7-1 win over Eastern Door and the North. Daylon Campbell of the Northstars also had a goal in that game.

The male Manitoba team roster also featured more Northstars players, including Michael Markus of Thompson, Anthony Keeper Jr. and Brandon McKay of Cross Lake and Hayden Yaremko of The Pas. The team opened the tournament with a 7-1 win over Team Ontario April 27 and followed that up with a 6-2 victory over Team Atlantic the next day. McKay and Yaremko each had goals for Team Manitoba in that game while Campbell added an assist. Manitoba closed the round robin with a 4-2 win over Saskatchewan in which McKay had two assists.

Curling club to get new ice plant

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A new ice plant is in the cards for the Burntwood Curling Club, thanks to the City of Thompson. On April 9, Grant Brown, past president of the curling club, wrote to the City of Thompson asking to be included in the 2015 city budget.

The ice plant that is currently being used at the club was installed in 1968, and it’s time for an upgrade, says Brown. “[I]t has many years of service on it, part have become obsolete and repairs have been too frequent. Over the years the plant has been maintained on a yearly basis as per instructions from Cimco (Toromont). The club executive has come to the conclusion that it is time to replace the ice plant,” the letter to chief financial officer Jenny Krentz stated.

The club has decided to go with the Cimco model RP-5W curling rink package, and has asked the city to provide the down payment amount of $40,000 to allow for the project to continue forward.

The $40,000 contribution was part of the 2014 budget, and the curling club has also confirmed grants to help with the cost of the new plant as well. $30,000 is coming from Community Places, and a second grant of up to $25,000 from

Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries.

The curling club is also asking for more from the city. “In addition to the $40,000 contribution, the Burntwood Curling Club is also requesting the city to provide a loan/debenture on our behalf for the balance of the project. Ultimately, the amount of the initial loan/debenture required would be $126,106.61,” explained Brown’s letter.

During the regular meeting of council on April 27, a resolution regarding the contribution was brought forward. Coun.

Kathy Valentino said the club had great fundraising efforts this year, and pointed out the building is a City of Thompson facility.

The curling club began a steady fundraising effort for the 2014-15 season with monthly fish fry nights. As part of this initiative, the club has partnered with Vale, who has been matching all funds raised.

The city unanimously passed the resolution approving the payment to Cimco for the supply and installation of the new ice plant, which totalled $146,997, with reimbursement of all except the $40,000 contribution from the city.

No date has been set as of yet for the installation of the new ice plant.

City moves forward with letter of intent from Vale

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

City council unanimously passed a resolution to go ahead with the letter of intent on the water treatment plant transfer from Vale April 27. Although the vote did pass without any opposition, there was still debate by two councillors saying the city has not had enough time to prepare. Mayor Dennis Fenske also removed himself from further discussions about the water treatment plant, declaring a conflict of interest.

Coun. Judy Kolada’ss main concern with the resolution was that the public couldn’t access the document until it was passed in council. “The letter of intent is very explicit, it’s more like an agreement. I feel like it’s premature because our council has not done our due diligence, and we have not had our engineers report.” Kolada continued, emphasizing that Vale was not at fault, saying they’ve been generous in providing council with information.

Coun. Duncan Wong was the second councillor to question the need for this letter, since a resolution was passed on Nov. 17, 2014, appointing council members from the finance and administration

committee, as well as the public works and infrastructure committee to a working group with Vale, with the intent to develop a letter of intent. “It leaves me to be uncertain to why a second document requiring our intent be necessary to sign, when we are already fully complied to the transfer of this treatment plant,” explained Wong. Both Wong and Kolada brought up the idea of tabling the resolution, after first hearing what other councillors had to say.

All other council members voiced their opinions, agreeing they’d be voting yes during the resolution. “I think the City of Thompson has done their due diligence in this matter, and it’s a group agreement, and we will continue our negotiations, and I think those negotiations are both beneficial to the City of Thompson and Vale,” Coun. Blake Ellis noted.

Coun. Kathy Valentino laid it all out on the table, while speaking in favour of the resolution, giving members of the public an idea of what’s been going on since the November, resolution. “So Nov. 19 was when the resolution was passed by myself from the finance and administration commit-

tee, along with councillor Wong and Matechuk. Dec. 1 was the first time council was given the letter of intent, so I don’t think we’ve been rushing through this.

We’ve had document for five months. We have met 14 times, either in camera as a council, and also the three of us with Vale on our Thursday morning meetings. We have also had the opportunity to tour the water treatment plant facility, which we all did.”

Coun. Dennis Foley agreed, saying there have been enough meetings.

“Sitting across the table from the Vale representatives during the last couple of meetings I am very satisfied with the information we have been provided. I will say I’m a little disappointed that there are people who feel like we haven’t done our due diligence, given the time we have had to do this.”

After the first round of debate, Kolada spoke a second time, saying she knows Vale is the largest employer in the community, and wants to maintain a good relationship with the company, so she would not move to table the resolution, and decided to end up voting in favour of the letter of intent, with the hopes of lobbying with council members to do

their due diligence.

After the passing of the resolution, the letter of intent is now available at City Hall. The 14-page document speaks about the transaction agreement.

The retained assets will include the pump house, and supply lines running from the pump house to the Thompson water treatment plant, and the water service lines running from the Thompson water treatment plant to Vale’s operations.

The letter of intent also stated a valuation report concluded that the market value of all lands, improvement, machinery, and equipment as of Sept. 30, 2014 was $23,400,000.

Vale would however be donating and transferring to the city all of the assets of Vale directly related to the Thompson water treatment plant.

With the passing of the letter of intent, a date has been chosen for the transaction agreement. “The parties agree that their current intention is to enter into the transaction agreement on or about June 30, 2015, in order to commence their transition planning and training agreements on a timely basis” explained the letter.

The asset transfer date is intended on or around December 31, 2015.
