Drugs to treat alcohol addictions now easier for doctors to prescribe for Manitoba Pharmacare Program patients Two drugs that help people dealing with alcohol addiction will now be easier for people covered

by Manitoba Pharmacare Program drug plans to get prescriptions for, the provincial government announced April 4.

Effective immediately, naltrexone and acamprosate will be moved from a Part 3 exception drug status to a Part 1 “open benefit” listing on the Manitoba drug formulary, so doctors prescribing them to patients no longer need prior approval from the Manitoba Pharmacare Program before doing so. Patients who qualify for pharmacare or drug plans offered by the provincial Families department can immediately take them to a pharmacy and have the costs covered.

“Alcohol is a leading cause of injury and death in Canada, including those resulting from impaired driving and from illnesses with known links to alcohol, such as certain types of cancer,” said Health Minister Cameron Friesen in a press release. “Changes we have made to the drug formulary will enhance access to anti-craving medications by allowing Manitobans to have prescriptions filled at any pharmacy without waiting for authorization or approvals.”

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism says that naltrexone, which blocks the effects of opiates, can also help reduce people’s desire to drink or

to continue drinking more if they fall off the wagon and have one drink, though the precise mechanism for this effect is unknown. The Addiction Center says acamprosate reduces the brain’s dependence on alcohol but should only be prescribed once the patient has stopped drinking and gone through initial detox.

“Improving access to medications such as naltrexone and acamprosate is an important step in improving health outcomes for Manitobans through expanded and more readily accessible treatment.

Importantly, steps such as this not only helps to decrease stigma associated with alcohol use disorder, but also helps to support patients in their recovery,” said Addictions Foundation of Manitoba (AFM) medical director Dr. Ginette Poulin. “We also expect to see a reduction in time needed to treat patients within our Rapid Access to Addictions Medicine (RAAM) clinics, where these two medications are used on a daily basis.”

Making such drugs more widely available le to treat addictions was recommended by the Virgo report on mental health and addictions. The province has already implemented several of its other recommendations by opening RAAM clinics in Thompson and elsewhere and by issuing a request for proposals for flexible-length treatment beds for patients

15-year-old charged with attempted murder after another 15-year-old shot in Easterville One 15-year-old is in hospital and another 15-year-old in police custody after an April 8 shooting in Easterville.

Chemawawin RCMP received a report of a 15-year-old male with a gunshot wound around 5:20 a.m. The victim was taken to the nursing station and then to hospital where he is currently in stable condition.

A 15-year-old male from Easterville was arrested and charged with attempted murder with a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, discharging a firearm while being reckless and using a firearm in the commission of an offence.

He will remain in custody until a court appearance in The Pas April 11.

power to get better value for publicly funded drug programs and patients.

“By reducing costs for drugs, we are increasing access to treatment options for patients, as well as consistent and lower costs for

our program,” said Friesen.

Manitoba’s Drug Benefits and Interchangeability Formulary lists therapeutically effective drugs that have been approved as eligible benefits under the pharmacare drug benefit program.

The Manitoba Pharmacare Program is based on family income and covers 100 per cent of eligible drug costs once an income-based deductible is reached, without consideration of medical condition or age.

Gillam Airport getting federal funding to buy runway surfacing material

The Gillam Airport is getting about $3.7 million from Transport Canada’s Airports Capital Assistance Program (ACAP) to buy aggregate and granular material for runways, taxiways and the main apron, Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced April 9.

The $3,686,200 investment will purchase 15,000 cubic metres of aggregate material to place a 150-millimetre compact lift on one runway, one taxiway and the main apron as well as a 17,000-cubic-metre stockpile of granular base material to be used for yearly resurfacing over a 10-year period. The material will be hauled to the airport and stored at its designated site.

“Our government recognizes that local airports are major contributors to the economic growth and social well-being

of smaller communities,” Garneau said in a press release. “In addition to supporting travel and tourism, local airports are key connectors for business, health care, social services, and emerging resource development sectors. These investments will improve access to safe, efficient and accessible air transportation options, and will help us deliver on our promise to build safer, healthier and stronger communities across Canada.”

Established in 1995, ACAP has provided more than $882.7 million for nearly 1,000 projects at 186 airports across Canada. Gillam Airport has received more than $7.6 million in ACAP funding for six safety projects, including aggregate supply, new snow-clearing equipment and the rehabilitation of the runway, taxiway and apron.

Teaching conversational Cree Thompson educator helping non-Indigenous residents bulk up their vocabulary

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Wapanohk Community School has been hosting Cree language classes for non-Indigenous adult residents throughout the last couple of weeks.

Vice-principal Celina Dumas volunteered to run the roughly decade-old program for the first time this year, and is looking to teach the language’s basics through directly engaging with her students.

“The goal is to get them speaking,” she said following Monday’s class. “I’m trying not to get them to do too much paper work, because I want them to be speaking and I’m encouraging back-and-forth banter and getting them to repeat after me.”

The April 8 class covered a lot of simple Cree words and sentences that can be easily inserted into everyday conversation, like: “I drove to Nelson House,” “When is your birthday?” and “When will I see you again?”

Dumas wrapped up this session with a game of Simon Says, where she asked each student to touch a part of their body that corresponds to the Cree word she vocalized.

According to the vice-principal, one of the toughest aspects of learning this language is getting past

certain pronunciations that seem foreign to someone who only speaks English.

“You have to get rid of the English thinking and put in the Cree thinking, the Cree sounds, the phonemics of the language,” said Dumas, mentioning that her students have already made big strides. “The first day, everybody was using their hard k’s, hard t’s and I told them today that I like that I’m not hearing those English-sounding letters.”

Local accountant Chekesani Phiri said he took this class for the social benefits, since he would like converse with Indigenous members of community on a more meaningful level.

After all, according to the 2016 Canadian census, Manitoba has the third-highest concentration of Cree language speakers in the country behind Saskatchewan and Alberta.

“It’s different if you talk to someone in their mother tongue, even if it’s just a few words,” said Phiri, who also speaks Nyanja and Bemba from his native Zambia. “It sort of creates a bond that’s a little different. It’s always a good way to break down the ice and break down barriers, even though you butcher the language on the first try.”

Dumas mentioned that her classroom also includes teachers and medical profes-

“There was a dietitian who wanted to talk more about medicine and how to have conversations with elders about their diet,” said Dumas.

The vice-principal is also

hoping that this program spurs interest in Cree in a broader context, especially after years of residential schools and colonization disincentivized people from taking up these languages.

“In the past, they tried to get rid of all the Indigenous languages and now it’s more

acceptable in today’s society,” she said. “I think with the younger generation, seeing non-Indigenous people trying to learn their language that they’ll take the initiative and try to learn it on their own as well.”

Even though they only have six sessions left, Dumas

said anybody is welcome to attend the remaining adult Cree language classes, which take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Wapanohk.

For more information on this program in general, please contact Dumas directly at 204-677-6139.

The trail this year was hard and fast and team found their way to the cabin with the first team arriving at 5:57 p.m. Martin Massicotte quickly checked in and back out with many of his competitors doing the same in trying to keep pace with the leader. Some teams did decide to check in and rest their dogs before completing the next 45-mile run to M’Clintock.

Massicotte continue to make small stops to snack dogs and change dog boots, but the stops were not very long. With teams hot on his heels, Massicotte pulled into the six-hour mandatory stop in M’Clintock with a 28-minute lead over the next competitor Denis Tremblay. Teams continued to trickle in throughout the night while the leading teams slept and recharged.

Seven of the nine teams had checked into M’Clintock before Massicotte got his team up and headed north once again. With a 28-minute lead over his nearest competitor (Denis Tremblay), Massicote headed north to the Chesney checkpoint some 30 miles down the trail.

The Red Cross celebrates Norma Leahy’s 25 years of service

To celebrate National Volunteer Week, Thompson members of the Canadian Red Cross organized an April 9 surprise party for resident Norma Leahy, who’s been working with this organization for the last quarter-century.

Thompson students are northern ambassadors for this year’s International Music Camp

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The School District of Mystery Lake continues to produce top-quality musical talent, since Nicole Cruda (Grade 9 from R.D Parker Collegiate) and Landon Greenwood-Sollis (Grade 7 from Riverside) will be attending International Music Camp this upcoming summer.

This camp, founded in 1956, runs in the International Peace Garden on the border between Manitoba and South Dakota, and serves as a gathering point for student musicians from all over the world.

“You meet people from Luxembourg, Australia,

New Zealand, people come from everywhere and you get to learn music together,” said Thompson music teacher Stevie MacPherson, who went through this program as both a student and an adult. “There’s a bunch of games, you get to stay in dorms. It’s kind of a cool experience.”

Cruda and Greenwood-Sollis earned the chance to rub elbows with the international music community after putting in impressive performances at this year’s Parkland/NorMan Region Honour Band festival back in early March.

According to MacPherson, that event’s guest conductors hand-select-

ed Greenwood-Sollis and Cruda from a group of 90 and 50 students, respectively, to receive a camp scholarship.

The pair said April 2 that they were shocked to learn about their selection, and are looking forward to learning more about how to master their instruments through the camp’s group activities and private lessons.

Now all Cruda and Greenwood-Sollis have to do is decide when they want to head down south, since the International Music Camp’s 2019 summer season consists of seven weeklong sessions that take place between June and July.

Nickel Belt News photo by Kyle Darbyson Landon Greenwood-Sollis (flute) and Nicole Cruda (percussion) will represent Thompson, and Northern Manitoba more broadly, during the International Music Camp’s 2019 summer season.

Something for all: objectives to benefits!

ALEXANDER SAWCHYN

FISHERIES MANAGEMENT GRADUATE NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF THE NORTH, THE PAS

In the early 1980s, a group of marine dealers in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario joined forces to present everything you would need to enjoy an excellent boating experience. As a result, a new trade show gaining in popularity led these suppliers to Winnipeg in support of the new Mid-Canada Boat Show.

Over the years, the mission and vision have evolved to host one of the most successful marine trade shows in Canada focusing on issues that impact the industry, its members, you … and the environment.

Decisions involving this industry bear profound economic and environmental impacts making most decision-making processes rife with controversy for the almost 40,000 in attendance.

For this reason, our fisheries management class felt it beneficial to offer our classroom and scientific contribution to aid in the reduction of uncertainty in recreational fisheries planning for those willing to stop by our booth highlighting the aging of walleye!

Our fisheries instructor suggests we can no longer continue to produce technicians who are unable to understand mixed complexities; nor can we continue to produce students unwilling

to engage with the public in order to address conservation challenges in a rigorous manner. As the next generation of environmental technicians must have interdisciplinary training, we need students to address difficult natural resource challenges unyielding to the powers of industry. Classroom opportunities must therefore adapt accordingly. Hence, integrating relevant scenarios and non-traditional assignments like attending the 2019 Mid-Canada Boat Show provides University College of the North students training opportunities that will reflect the conflicted situations they will face in their future professional worlds.

As a graduating Natural Resources Management Technology (NRMT) program student at UCN, earning the opportunity to participate with classmate Shelby Desjardin in a seven-month walleye (Sander vitreus) age and growth fisheries management project was incredibly rewarding.

Besides navigating through countless and sometimes “weedy” questions, our confidence soared! Many patrons congratulated and thanked us for our academic efforts!

Exuding passion and confidence even further, Doug Lauvstad, UCN’s president and chief executive, also helped to inspire and engage in our development by motivating promise and articulating a vision. As a leader of a northern educational enterprise and one that touts

Nickel Belt News photo courtesy of Alex Sawchyn University College of the North president Doug Lauvstad, centre, and UCN Natural Resources Management Technology program fisheries graduates Shelby Desjardsin, left, and Alex Sawchyn, right, at the Mid-Canada Boat Show in Winnipeg. (and asks) its students to aspire, president Lauvstad helped us to synthesize a visionary way to create a strategy for NRMT student success and distinction.

Essentially, our boat show intent was to inspire and educate the boating and angling public about

Manitoba’s “provincially designated fish” - the walleye. However, our research objective was to obtain definite information concerning the rate of growth (and relative condition factor) for walleye in Northern Manitoba inland lake basins … and share it with the public!

In sum, our rationale for attending the Mid-Canada Boat Show was to help ethically educate the public regarding scientific study and resource protection, all while stressing that knowledge of this species’ age and growth is fundamental to fishery science and good

public angling practices.

Letting them go unharmed (particularly when young) and knowing a bit more about them is only an added benefit! It is why I came to school. My name is Alex Sawchyn and I thank you for participating in “my” class.

Enrolment went up 39.7 per cent at the Thompson campus and 20.4 per cent at the campus in The Pas. Overall enrolment for the 2017-18 academic year was 2,051 students, so the growth this year has been about 40 per cent overall.

Final 2018-19 enrolment numbers will be released sometime after June.

An enrolment count

on Nov. 30 of last year showed that there were 2,175 students enrolled in all programs, an increase of 641 students or about 42 per cent from the enrolment of 1,534 on Nov. 30, 2017. At the end of September 2018, there were a total of 1,411 students enrolled, up from 1,239 at the end of September 2017. Enrolment in certificate, diploma and degree programs that are funded and tracked by the provincial government had risen nearly 11 per cent since the previous year at that time, while continuing education and contract Page 10 training-programs geared towards supporting industry and individual needs, were up from 123 students

in September 2017 to 176 a year later. The enrolment count grows over the course of the year as new programs and terms start. Continuing education and contract training programs generally start low and grow throughout the academic year, the school says.

The Northern Workforce Development Centre was established at the Thompson campus last May to offer education and training in response to labour market changes in the region.

The provincial government’s college review recommended last spring that UCN offer more contract training opportunities and also increase graduation rates.
