“We believe that society is on a path that they will not deflect from at least in the next 10 to 20 years and that is we’re not going to continue with internal combustion engines,” Ross said.

“The answer to no more ICE – internal combustion engines – is battery electric.”

As battery technology has changed, nickel has become a more important component in their manufacturing.

“People found that when you added nickel to lithium batteries, the capacity of them grew and the ability to charge and recharge grew too,” Ross said. “Everybody’s talking about lithium ion batteries as the future.

These batteries here have eight parts nickel to one part of lithium. That is a lot of nickel.”

Ross said that part of the reason that Manitoba Operations had to switch from an integrated operation to one focused solely on mining and milling, in addition to stricter environmental regulations, was the outdated technology in the smelter and refinery that made production costs higher.

“Even before the closure if you look across all of the old Inco and new Vale base metals, Thompson’s

OBITUARIES ROSANNE JOYCE (ABREY) LEDERHAUS It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rosanne Joyce Lederhaus (nee Abrey). On September 27th, 2018, at the Brandon Regional Health Centre, Rosanne lost her incredibly hard and private battle with Non–Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Rosanne was a brave and courageous woman; a warrior who took everything in stride and never engaged in self-pity, nor did she want sympathy from others. We take comfort in knowing that Rosanne passed peacefully, with her loving husband, Gary, holding her hand through to her very last breath.

Rosanne was born on August 10, 1956 in Winnipeg, MB and spent most of her childhood living in Grandview, MB. After graduating high school in 1974, she continued her education and attended college in Winnipeg, MB. In 1976, she moved to Thompson, MB., where she obtained a job as a data processor at Inco. It was then her life changed forever … she met her one and only soul mate, Gary. In 1977, Gary and Rosanne married and went on to have two beautiful children. Vanessa and Aaron, along with her three grandchildren, were the light of her life. In addition to being a dedicated homemaker and mother, Rosanne spent most of her career working for the School District of Mystery Lake in a variety of clerical and administrative assistant positions.

In 2007, Rosanne and Gary began a new chapter in their lives and retired to Brandon, MB where she thoroughly enjoyed decorating and renovating their home. She also spent many happy years gardening in her little backyard oasis. She loved trying out new recipes, playing cards (especially Canasta!), camping, bowling, travelling, and going to concerts. Rosanne and Gary’s latest passion was classic cars and attended various car events and of course, cruising in their ‘73 Dodge Charger!

She is survived by husband Gary, children Vanessa (Tim) Nerbas and Aaron (Joanne) Lederhaus, grandchildren, Nicholas, Max, and Ethan, father-in-law Wilf (Elsie) Lederhaus, step-mother Lorraine Abrey, sister-in-law Linda (Arlan) Dale, sister Connie (Ross), brothers Gerald, Cameron (Darla), Michael (Bonnie), and Brian, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Rosanne was predeceased by her mother and father, Josephine and Alfred Abrey, and by mother-in-law Ruth Lederhaus.

Keeping with Rosanne’s wishes, an intimate and beautiful celebration of life was held on September 30, 2018. We remember her fondly as a very kind, caring, and strong woman who’s laughter will forever sing in our hearts.

The family would like to thank the 4th floor ICU and emergency department staff at the Brandon Regional Health Centre, the staff at Western Manitoba Cancer Care, along with Dr. Mollar and Dr. Minders for the compassionate care they provided Rosanne throughout her illness. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 415–1st Street, Brandon, MB, R7A 2W8.

Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.memorieschapel.com.

Walmart estimates Thompson store will be closed for two weeks due to Oct. 12 fire Welders’ sparks ignited clothing, says fire chief

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A fire that forced Thompson’s Walmart to close down Oct. 12 caused some damage and the closure will continue until necessary repairs are made, a company spokesperson says, which is estimated to take roughly two weeks.

“While we don’t have an exact timeline at this stage, we can roughly estimate a two-week timeline to reopen,” Walmart Canada corporate affairs director Anika Malik said in an email to the Thompson Citizen. “The store did sustain some damage and is currently closed to carry out necessary repairs. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause our customers.”

Thompson Fire & Emergency Services Chief Mike Bourgon said firefighters were called to the store around 4 a.m. and that the cause of the fire was embers from welding work being done igniting some clothing.

“The smoke damage was major,” he said.

“Walmart’s doing their due diligence to ensure the safety of their product. They want to ensure that it’s safe for the public, to make sure that there’s no contaminated merchandise.”

Walmart customers who require pharmacy services can call 1-204-992-9760 for help to fill out their prescriptions.

School trustee candidates give opinions on kindergarten and middle school at Oct. 11 forum

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The feasibility of continuing all-day kindergarten, bullying of both students and school staff and attracting and retaining teachers were among the topics tackled Oct. 11 by 10 of the 11 school trustee candidates at a public forum attended by about 50 voters.

“Parents right now are also facing cutting kindergarten to half-days,” said aspiring trustee Lindsay Anderson when asked about the biggest issues facing the school district.

But the two incumbent trustees at the forum said they don’t see how they can avoid eliminating allday kindergarten, which was only available at some schools and isn’t funded by the provincial government.

“The decision that fullday kindergarten would have to be cut certainly wasn’t made lightly,” said Don Macdonald, who is nearing the end of his first term on the school board.

“Full-day kindergarten is a very expensive program and its funded entirely off the municipal tax base.”

His school board colleague Leslie Tucker concurred.

“The direction that this government is going now will not lend itself to that,”

she said. “Our concern is not even losing full-day kindergarten, it’s losing basic programming. Realistically, I know that it can’t be done.”

While most of the candidates seeking elected office for the first time were in favour of all-day kindergarten, Saima Aziz said she thought half-days were sufficient.

“It is my belief that two or three hours is enough for them,” she said.

Macdonald said it would require the School District of Mystery Lake (SDML) to raise its portion of municipal taxes by 18 per cent to continue funding all-day kindergarten.

“I can’t think of a way of doing it that wouldn’t cause pain,” he said. “We don’t have a million dollars worth of surplus programs lying around.”

Caroline Winship, who ran for school trustee in 2014, asked if a policy had been established regarding home-schooled students participating in some programs, an issue that she knows intimately since her son was not allowed to participate in the Grade 6 band program several years ago.

“I’m not opposed to people participating in specific programming,” Tucker said. “It also de-

ers and school staff being criticized on social media was also brought up.

“It just seems like they’re intimidated by parents and I don’t think that’s right.” said Anderson.

Dealing with the source of the complaints and having better communication were suggested remedies.

“Having been a teacher myself I’ve experienced this,” said Jill Quilty. “In my experience what I’ve found is that the more engagement you have between the school and … all the stakeholders involved, the better these things turn out.”

“Us as a community have to take responsibility and report to the administrators of these pages what we see until they get the point and start moderating themselves,” said Oxford.

Macdonald said that district tries to shield students from cyber bullying.

“I’d hope we could do it for teachers, educators, anybody involved,” he said An audience member asked why, if districts are being asked to cut administrative costs, the SDML has two superintendents.

“The financial implications of having two superintendents as opposed to a superintendent and an assistant superintendent is Continued on Page 14

“The parents pay taxes, not only property taxes but the education portion of the taxes,” said Peter Aarinola. “We are talking about fairness.”

“I don’t see any issue with why a child being homeschooled couldn’t come to the school to participate in gym and music,” said Anderson.

The financial challenge of running a school system at a time when provincial funding is decreasing was also a topic of discussion.

“I know that the schools are seeing a decrease in students,” said Samantha Scibak.

“It’s been cut and it might be continued to be cut but what’s expected remains the same,” said Samantha Chartrand.

High school feminist group bringing women’s issues front and centre

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

After debuting back in May, the students behind Shriving for Humanity and Equality (SHE) are still trying to start a conversation about gender equality in the Hub of the North.

SHE currently consists of at least 12 members from R.D. Parker Collegiate, ranging from Grade 9 to Grade 12 students.

“The main focus is just to spread awareness about the inequalities everywhere, from our school to the community to the whole world,” said Taylar Hanson-Oliveira, one of the group’s founders.

“And we also just want to teach what feminism is because a lot of people don’t know.”

For Hanson-Oliveira, the ongoing #MeToo movement, where many women are coming forward publicly about their own personal experiences with sexual assault, was part of what spurred her to become a public advocates for gender equality at such a young age.

“I kind of realized when you start reading and hearing on the news about all the women that are taken advantage of and they’re asked ‘What were they wearing?’ or if they were drunk,” she

school staff are still hesitant to throw their full support behind SHE. “There’s been some things that we’ve been wanting to do but there’s been teachers that said that we can’t because it’s too ‘out there,’” said Preston. “I think a lot of the male students here think that we’re trying to be superior to them, but they don’t understand that we want equality and not to be seen as better than men.”

Currently, SHE’s members are looking to raise enough money to get their more elaborate projects off the ground, which includes attending the 2019 Winnipeg Women’s March in January.

“I think it would a really good learning experience, because you learn a lot about other people’s opinions on feminism and see what they’re doing to spread awareness,” said Hanson-Oliveira.

Anyone interested in joining the group or supporting their initiatives, financially or otherwise, can do so by contacting RDPC counsellor Tracy Hanson at thanson@ mysterynet.mb.ca.

SHE’s activities are also being chronicled through the group’s Instagram account titled “she_rdpc.”

School board mulls setting up social media accounts

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

In their penultimate meeting before the 2018 municipal election Oct. 9, the board of trustees for the School District of Mystery Lake (SDML) discussed the prospect of setting up Facebook and/or Twitter accounts in order to better engage with the public.

Though he wasn’t physically present, trustee Ryan Land broached the subject over the phone and expressed frustration that past conversations about setting up official SDML social media accounts haven’t gone anywhere throughout the last four years.

“I feel like we’ve had this conversation around social media for the better part of the term,” he said.

“Is there actually something preventing us … from creating a Facebook profile and a Twitter profile and putting our community report out there?”

Trustee Sandra Oberdorfer said one obstacle is the fact that they don’t have any staff dedicated to cultivating a social media presence.

“We haven’t had the staff resources in the past and we may or may not in the future,” she said. “I don’t want to promise that any new staff will be provided to do that. That’ll be up to the new board.”

Land expressed doubts about the new board’s ability to spearhead such a campaign, since he feels

Trustee Ryan Land participated over the phone. like “they’re going to be as risk adverse as possible.”

Co-superintendent Angèle Bartlett mentioned that concerns about students’ privacy are another reason why the board has been so hesitant to tackle this kind of initiative head-on.

“I know a high percentage

of kids are in-care. That’s a concern, their identity being released,” she said. “I know it was a concern of mine when I was a school principal.”

Chairperson Don Macdonald pointed out that many schools already have their own social media accounts that garner parent en-

gagement, especially when it comes to sports.

“I look at the RDPC Athletics Twitter feed all the time and I love it,” he said. “But nothing else really comes close to matching that activity.”

While the board didn’t decide on a concrete strategy moving forward, they did

tacitly agree that it would be a good idea to release the SDML’s latest community report via their schools’ existing social media pages.

During question period, trustee Leslie Tucker said that Rob Pellizzaro had set up an SDML Twitter account during his tenure as the board’s chairperson.

However, that social media presence quickly fizzled out after Pellizzaro decided to not serve on the board following the 2014 municipal election.

The trustees’ final meeting of their current term is.

Oct. 23, one day before the next board is voted in by the public.

Thompson would do better if there were more options like different restaurants.

Why should someone vote for you over the other candidates?

I say just vote for who you want. It’s my first year voting. I’ve never voted. I’ve been eligible for 11 years and before no one was ever worth my vote, not for prime minister, not for mayor, not for anything. If no one’s worth my vote then how can I make a change? So I figured, go for mayor. I just say do your research and pick who you want and vote for who you want. Vote for who aligns best with you.

on last year’s performance, when the squad finished sixth. They qualified for it by beating the host Swan Valley Tigers 2-0 in the B-side semifinals with goals from Anderson and Emma Tomchuk.

The team’s only loss was a 4-0 defeat by eventual champions Northlands Parkway in the quarterfinals after RDPC opened the tournament with a 5-0 win over the Niverville Panthers. Keashae Masters had a pair of goals for the Trojans in that game, with Jada Bull, Tomchuk and Emma Deibert tallying singles.

The boys’ team did not record a win at provincials, opening with a 7-1 loss to the W.C. Miller Aces, with Keniel Williams getting the Trojans’ goal. They were knocked out with a 3-1 loss to the Swan Valley Tigers in their first B-side match.

Late defensive lapses the difference in Northstars’ 7-4 home loss to Hawks Oct. 14

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Giving up goals in the late stages of the first two periods proved to be the Norman Northstars’ downfall against the Pembina Valley Hawks Oct. 14.

Tyson Allson and Riley Goertzen scored in the last three minutes of the opening frame to put the Hawks up 2-1 after Henry Muchikekwanape had given the Northstars a 1-0 lead with a power play goal less than five minutes into the game.

Justin Hobbs extended the Hawks’ lead to three early in the second period but Jamie Valentino reduced the margin to two with a breakaway goal at the 15:32 mark just after getting out of the penalty box.

Goertzen put the Hawks up three once again when he backhanded in a rebound from the top of the crease with just over a minute to go in the second period.

Muchikekwanape made a one-goal game of it with back-to-back goals three minutes apart to complete a hat

trick in the first five minutes of the third period but Andrew Boucher scored four minutes later to put the Hawks back up by two.

Bazin got Pembina Valley’s seventh goal into an empty net with 1:23 left in the game.

Shots were 37-31 for the Hawks, who got 27 saves from Brock Moroz, while Braedin Melsted stopped 29 shots.

P e m b i n a Va l l e y scored goals in bunches on the evening of Oct. 13, getting eight evenstrength markers and four power play goals in a 12-2 rout.

Goertzen opened the scoring in the game’s first five minutes and Jacob Carels made it 2-0 Hawks near the first period’s midway point.

Jordan Pfoh reduced the lead to one with a power play goal for the Northstars 1:55 into the second period but the Hawks responded with goals from Tyler Park, Cameron Brunn, Caelan Russell and Carels to lead 6-1 going into the final period.

The Trojans had finished with five wins and three losses in the round robin, splitting a match with Hapnot 16-25, 25-16, beating Grand Rapids 2513, 25-21. splitting 23-25, 27-26 with Margaret Barbour Collegiate Institute from The Pas and splitting 20-25, 25-17 with Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre from Norway House.

Bazin, Brunn, Boucher and Trent Penner scored at even strength for the Hawks in the game’s last 15 minutes.

Rylan Potkonjak made 23 saves on 33 shots in 47:41 of playing time before being replaced by Melsted, who stopped seven of nine shots the rest of the way. Dylan Meilun stopped 30 of 32 shots for the Hawks.

The Northstars are on the road Oct. 1921 against the Central Plains Capitals, Southwest Cougars and Parkland Rangers as they look for their first win of the season.

Buying cannabis from a street dealer puts you at risk of arrest and fines.

When you buy street cannabis, you have no idea whether or not your money will go to fund other illegal activities.

Worst of all, street cannabis offers you no quality control in terms of strength or purity. It may contain traces of pesticides and even other drugs that could put your life at risk.

Hydro pole fire knocks out power for 600 customers

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

An Oct. 12 hydro pole fire on Cree Road in Thompson that was captured on video and posted on Facebook resulted in power outages for about 600 customers in the city but no one was injured.

“As the Facebook video shows, a pole fire can be extremely dangerous as live power lines can come to the ground,” said Manitoba Hydro media relations officer Bruce Owen. “People must stay at least 10 metres away and call 911 immediately if they see a damaged or fallen power line.”

No injuries resulted when the pole collapsed around

Community based since 1971.

Stay connected:

6:40 p.m. Power was restored to affected customers by about 10 p.m., Owen said.

“A pole fire can be caused by weather conditions such as light snow, rain or dense fog,” Owen explained.

“Simply, moisture can get into a tiny crack on an insulator and create a pathway for electricity to travel from the power line to the wood pole. Electricity is always looking for the easiest way to get to the ground and with a pole fire, the easiest way is through the wood pole.

The result is a short circuit and fire. The fire can burn through the pole and leave the cross-arms and insulators

suspended by the wires. The outcome is almost always a power outage. Poles damaged by fire usually need to be replaced.”

Thompson Fire & Emergency Services Chief Mike Bourgon said firefighters were at the scene just to secure the area.

“It’s fairly common for that to happen with Manitoba Hydro,” he said. “As soon as the scene is deemed safe for the public and then the lines are no longer charged – so they disconnect the power –then we remove ourselves from the scene and Manitoba Hydro takes over.”

Infrastructure Renewal ü We must continue with the renewal of our streets, water mains and the multiuse path. ü The Wastewater Treatment Plant is scheduled to be complete in 2019. The next priority is the renewal of Norplex Pool, with Thompson in need of a larger fire hall after that.

Financial Responsibility ü Despite all of this need, we must balance it with keeping property taxes reasonable.

I am prepared to make the tough decisions to balance our budgets and keep our spending at a reasonable level.

Attempted child abduction in Cross Lake; police seeking suspect Cross Lake RCMP are looking for a suspect who tried to abduct a nineyear-old female in the community in September.

Police say the girl was walking home around 8 p.m. Sept. 12 from a playground in the Natamik area of Cross Lake when a man in black pickup truck offered her a chocolate bar. He then took the girl by the arm and tried to pull her into the vehicle but she got away and ran to a nearby family member’s house for help.

A composite sketch of the suspect was made based on the girl’s description. He is described as Indigenous and in his 50s with wrinkled skin, a large

nose, dark black eyes and shoulder-length black hair.

He was wearing a black sweater without a hood, jeans and shoes that were orange on the bottom. He is also described as having white discolouration on his hands and fingers.

The truck was described as an older black pickup truck.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Cross Lake RCMP at 204-676-2600 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

Tips can also be submitted online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com or by texting TIPMAN plus a message to CRIMES (274637).

Thompson Citizen image courtesy of RCMP Cross Lake RCMP have released a composite sketch of a suspect who tried to abduct a nine-year-old girl Sept. 12.

Northern Legal Aid lawyers named judges The provincial and federal governments appointed two lawyers with Northern Manitoba connections as judges two days apart.

Theresa McDonald was appointed as a provincial court judge to serve in The Pas Oct. 11 by Manitoba Justice Minister Cliff Cullen. She is currently the rural area director of Legal Aid Manitoba and has practised law in the province’s north for more than 30 years. McDonald is also a mentor in the Manitoba Bar Association’s mentorship program and the elected representative of the Law Society of Manitoba northern district.

Her past volunteer work includes serving T2 Thompson

Toddlers Daycare, The Pas Committee for Women in Crisis, friendship centres and faith-based outreach groups, as well as being a tutor for children with learning disabilities. She was selected by a nominating committee chaired by Chief Judge Margaret Wiebe along with three community representatives, a representative from the Canadian Bar Association’s Manitoba branch and a provincial court judge.

“It is an honour to appoint a new provincial court judge who has demonstrated a commitment to Manitoba’s north throughout her career,” said Cullen. “She has initiated many innovations that have improved access to justice in

the north, and I am confident that she will continue to work to uphold and strengthen the rule of law in her new role.”

McDonald’s appointment came after Annette Horst, a supervising attorney at Legal Aid Manitoba, was appointed by the federal government as a Court of Queen’s Bench family division judge in Winnipeg Oct. 9.

Horst received her law degree from the University of Manitoba in 1998 and was admitted to the Manitoba Bar in 1999. She began her career with Legal Aid in The Pas before moving to Brandon. She returned to Legal Aid Manitoba in The Pas in 2002, practising family and child pro-

tection law. She moved to Winnipeg in 2015 to continue practising family and child protection law with Legal Aid Manitoba.

Horst has served as president of the Manitoba Bar Association, national treasurer of the Canadian Bar Association and a bencher of the Law Society of Manitoba as well as on committees through professional organizations including the Law Society of Manitoba’s discipline committee and the access to justice stakeholders committee. She has also volunteered on the boards of Marigold Preschool in The Pas and the Westoba Credit Union board of directors in Brandon.

Four-year-old found dead in St. Theresa Point believed to have drowned A four-year-old boy whose body was found in the lake at St. Theresa Point First Nation Oct. 12 is believed to have drowned, police say.

Police were advised

around midnight that the child had been found in the lake. He had been reported missing to First Nation safety officers about an hour earlier. A search

was organized and the boy was found in the lake on the east shore of the community. He was taken to the nursing station where he was pronounced dead.

The boy had last been seen around 4:40 p.m.

Oct 11 near a family member’s home.

RCMP continue to investigate and an autopsy is being scheduled.

Moose Lake boaters reported missing found dead Oct. 14 Two men, aged 39 and 49, were found dead in their 22-foot boat Oct. 14 after being reported overdue a few hours earlier.

The boat was found around 4 p.m.

Oct. 14 with the two men dead inside it. It was on a gravel shore and was partially submerged in water.

The boat had been reported missing around 2:30 p.m. that afternoon.

Police say two boats carrying five fishermen left Moose Lake headed for Big Island Camp, about 10 kilometres southeast, around 2 p.m.

Oct. 13 but only one boat with three

people on board arrived.

The weather was poor overnight with blowing snow and high winds.

Several residents went looking for the boat and its occupants on the morning of Oct. 14.

Autopsies are scheduled and the RCMP continues to investigate.
