Norway House drug checkpoint was shut down because it was ‘ineffective,’ says chief Larson Anderson also mentioned that project was unsustainable due to cost

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Norway House Cree Nation made headlines in February 2018 after its thenchief and council erected a checkstop that was meant to stop illegal drugs and alcohol from entering the dry community of around 6,000 people.

However, current Chief Larson Anderson recently told the Nickel Belt News that the operation was shut down in late May of that year, three months after he and the new council were elected into office.

“Nothing got seized. No drugs, very little alcohol,” he said. “Plus, we were concerned about the rights of travellers. It was just a stupid plan, period.”

Anderson went on to say that they didn’t even have the funds to continue this program if they wanted to, since previous chief Ron Evans committed $600,000 to set up this checkpoint (which included a $500,000 annual operating cost).

Instead of spending all this money on a project that he described as “ineffective,” Anderson said he’s been working more closely with the local RCMP to help stomp out this drug problem.

“Since then we did meet with RCMP to make sure

that there’s more emphasis on finding who the sellers are and tracking the product down and they’ve done a really good job,” he said.

“They’ve really caught quite a number of people since this was closed off. They’ve managed to get some fairsized seizures.”

When this checkstop was initially set up early last year, the project did have its local supporters.

In a March 2018 interview with APTN News, Dave Williamson, an instructor at the Norway House campus of the University College of the North, said the idea had potential to crack down on the influx of drugs and alcohol that was still coming into the community.

“The alcohol is a concern largely because of the violence that’s associated with it,” he said after consenting to a search of his car. “The drugs [are] a concern because of the gang activity that’s attached to it. This is a good starting point.”

“Since this checkstop’s opened I feel more secure at home,” added Jeff Muskego, a butcher at the community grocery store. “I see violence is kind of dropping a little.

And I see there’s not that much activity now at nights.”

Checkstop security officer Fred Keam also told

APTN that the project was getting some results in its early stages, since his team made 20 confiscations in the months of February and March.

They even discovered a .357 magnum pistol that someone threw in the bush near the checkpoint.

According to the report from APTN, this security team checked a total of 1,606 vehicles carrying 4,106 people throughout March 1-22.

However, Anderson claims that his decision to shut the project down was met with a mostly positive reception from members of the community.

Since then, the Norway House chief said, in addition to working with the RCMP, he’s trying to take a more holistic approach to solving the community’s ills.

“Quite frankly, my concern is housing, my concern is employment, better healthcare,” said Anderson. “My philosophy is that if you give your people something to do, something to look forward to, something that can be a positive influence, that will take care of the drug problem in the long run.”

Former Norway House chief Ron Evans could not be reached for comment in time for this publication.

12th Youth Behaviour Survey next fall will ask students about their health, sexuality, drug use and mental well-being Survey has been administered in Thompson every two to three years since 1985

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The School District of Mystery Lake board of trustees gave the Adolescent Health Education Committee (AHEC) the goahead to administer their 12th Youth Behaviour Survey next October during their April 9 meeting.

Started in 1985, the survey has been given every two to three years and asks students about topics such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, drug use, gambling, mental health, bullying and sexuality. Students from Grade 7 to Grade 12 are eligible to complete the survey, though prior to 1992 Grade 7 and Grade 8 students were not included.

“The main value of the survey is it provides an overall picture to service providers of youth in Thompson,” said Northern Regional Health Authority (NRHA) public health nurse Lisa Paul, who works in R.D. Parker Collegiate.

That information is helpful to school counsellors as well as to staff in outside agencies and organizations focusing on youth.

AHEC chairperson Paul Fricker, a resource teacher

at RDPC, said communicating the results was a key goal the last time the survey was done in 2016.

“We had a forum for the school counsellors and the administrators,” said Fricker. “We provided Power Points and discussion exercises for the schools to use in their staff meetings.

I felt that was one of the bigger gains we made in this cycle. We did a better job of sharing the information with the stakeholders.”

It was also posted on both the SDML and NRHA websites.

That said, Fricker hopes this time to make communication more of a twoway street.

“We don’t have a process for getting feedback from stakeholders in the community about the actual survey itself, how practically useful it is and what the level of use is,” he said.

The survey doesn’t change substantively from one round to the next in order to make statistical comparisons over time meaningful, but minor changes are always being made, Fricker said in response to a question from

A graph from a summary of the 2016 Youth Behaviour Survey shows rates of students’ marijuana use over time. board chairperson Don MacDonald.

“We tweak it all the time to improve it,” he said, particularly in regard to current vocabulary, noting that the term “commit suicide” is no longer used in favour of current terminology like “died by suicide.” The subjects of vaping and pornography have been added for

next fall’s survey.

Trustee Samantha Chartrand asked how students’ personal information is protected.

“They don’t put their names on it,” said Paul.

“It’s anonymous.” She added that the questions are multiple-choice. “It’s no writing. Nobody has to print anything.”

Chartrand also asked how survey administrators deal with questions possibly causing emotional distress, such as in the case of a student disclosing that they had suffered abuse for the first time.

Fricker said they ensure that schools have counsellors on duty at the time the survey is administered. “If

you find that you feel upset after this survey you can go see a counsellor,” Fricker said.

MacDonald added that having this kind of information dating back to the mid-1980s is helpful for anyone working with youth.

“It’s a nice tool to have,” he said.

Junior B lacrosse games this weekend a chance for Thompson to experience the fastest game on two feet

Nickel Belt News file photo Former Thompson Lacrosse Association players William Lutz, David Saunders, Isaac Babulic and Evan Ritchie will be back in the arena where they learned to play the sport April 27-28 as members of the junior B Manitoba Blizzard, who are taking on the Saskatoon SWAT in a pair of regular season Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League games at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena.

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Thompson sports fans will have the opportunity to see the run-and-gun spectacle of high-calibre junior B lacrosse this weekend at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena when the Manitoba Blizzard and Saskatoon SWAT pay a special visit for a pair of regular season Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League games.

The games – on Saturday at 7:30 p.m and Sunday at noon – will feature four homegrown players on the Blizzard Roster: David Saunders, Isaac Babulic, William Lutz and Evan Ritchie. The cost of admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids.

Lacrosse at this level – two steps below professional – features a unique combination of physical play and

finesse, says Brad Ritchie, a Thompson lacrosse coach and also the father of current Blizzard player Evan Ritchie and former player Taylor Ritchie, who completed his last level of eligibility last season and was the first Thompson player to earn a spot on the Manitoba junior team’s roster.

“The ball handling and the passing is impressive to actually witness,” says Brad Ritchie. “The speed and the toughness and the hitting is as hard as hockey. The grace and the skill required in such a tough aggressive environment makes it interesting to watch. It’s a faster-paced game [than hockey]. There are no offsides and there’s no icing. You don’t’ want to take your eyes off it because it just keeps moving.

athletes is incredible.”

As a comparison, Brad says, it would be like having the Portage Terriers or Flin Flon Bombers play a regular season hockey game in Thompson.

Bringing the two teams up north is intended to expose more potential players and fans in Thompson to the game and to demonstrate how far players in the Thompson Lacrosse Association and on the R.D. Parker field lacrosse team can go.

“William and Evan and Isaac and David, they started the same as our kids now with trouble with passing and catching and just learn-

ing to pick up the ball. But through hard work they’ve been able to take it to the next level and meet new people, develop new experiences, develop skills for adulthood and travel the country doing something they love. We want to give these young people here today the same opportunity these guys had and Taylor as well.”

Any proceeds from the event will go towards the Thompson Lacrosse Association, which is still accepting registrations and will have a booth set up at both games.

“The Thompson Lacrosse

Association is thankful to both organizations for coming and playing two regular season games here and they’ve both been awesome to work with,” said Brad

Ritchie. “There’ll be a lot of goals, there’ll be a lot of great saves, there might be a fight. They’re going to see highly skilled young athletes.”

Dennita Cameron wins indoor high jump gold for second straight year

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Even though she’s inching closer to the end of her high school athletics career, Dennita Cameron isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.

The Grade 12 student from R.D. Parker Collegiate recently captured a firstplace finish in high jump at Athletics Manitoba’s High School Series Championship indoor track and field event, which took place March 13 in Winnipeg.

While Cameron’s gold medal worthy jump of 1.60 metres was not her personal best, it was still good enough to beat the event’s silver medallist by a good 10 centimetres.

This victory is a repeat of Cameron’s performance from last year’s competition, where she also ranked number one in her age group with a jump of 1.63 metres.

With graduation looming on the horizon, Cameron still wants to clear her personal best jump of 1.69 metres before the end of the school year.

If all goes well, she’ll get the opportunity to do that very thing during the upcoming Zone 11 track champion-

ships and high school track provincials, which are going to take place in late May and early June, respectively.

Otherwise, Cameron said she’s proud of everything she’s accomplished in sport over the last four years, especially ranking fourth in the country in U18 women’s high jump back in 2017.

She even made special mention of her run as a member of the RDPC senior girls’ volleyball team, who have won back-to-back zone championships throughout the last two years.

Cameron’s accomplishments also haven’t gone unnoticed by the Manitoba sports community at large.

Not only did she get to represent the province in the 2017 Canada Summer Games, but she was also named Female Aboriginal Athlete of the Year by the Manitoba Aboriginal Sports & Recreation Council back in 2018.

While these accolades have attracted the attention of several post-secondary institutions, Cameron said she wants to take a year off school following graduation before committing to a specific program.

Goodbye, Katey

BY ROSE ROSS SPECIAL TO THE NICKEL BELT NEWS

Katey Armstrong has left her mark on Thompson and now she’s leaving. Her uninhibited love for people, fitness and life in general drew people to her fitness and exercise classes from hockey camps to the Northern Spirit Manor. In her 28 years in the fitness business in Thompson, she held classes and seminars for Vale, Manitoba Hydro, the School District of Mystery Lake, the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, the Juniper Centre, Northern Spirit Manor, Seniors Fun Fitness as well as her famous boot camp.

The Seniors Fun Fitness program, now running for 12 years at Rotary Place drew people from all walks of life, with a wide range of physical abilities, needs and ages from 55 to 85 plus. Katey Armstrong developed and pioneered this program focussing on strength and flexibility for independent living. It can easily by modified to meet the requirements of various abilities, needs and recovery rehabilitation.

Katey provided this program to seniors under contract to the Northern Regional Health Authority at no charge to participants. Recently, the participants of Fun Fitness at Rotary Place with the help of Thompson Seniors Community Resource Council, submitted a request to the regional community resource manager of seniors services at the NRHA to continue the program.

At the opposite end of the age spectrum, Katey has led workshops with school div-

ision for students and educators and the bantam and midget hockey teams focussing on agility, speed, strength and cardio conditioning. She has been an enthusiastic supporter of local hockey.

At all times, with all groups, Katey’s love for people comes through in her ability to inter-

act naturally with all people irrespective of their age, ability, culture or social standing. She has a way of making everything fun.

Katey came by that talent naturally. Her father Bob Kirkwood, a Lutheran pastor, brought his family to Thompson in 1976 and later worked

as a much-loved announcer/ host on radio CHTM until his passing in 1991. And her mother, Cleo Kirkwood, even

while struggling with dementia as a resident at Northern Spirit Manor, continued to encourage and advocate for fellow

residents.

Katey Armstrong is moving to Campbell River, B.C. Thompson will miss her.

UCN brings career expo back to Thompson

Over 30 employers squeezed into the Gordon Beard Arena April 24 for the University College of the North’s (UCN) 2019 career expo.

Just like in previous years, this event was designed to let elementary and high school students know about the job opportunities that are available in Northern Manitoba and beyond.

To hammer this point home, the event show-

cased work in a variety of fields, including construction, carpentry, education, law enforcement, hydro, transportation, hairdressing, social work and many more.

Students from surrounding communities like Split Lake, South Indian Lake, Oxford House and Wabowden were invited to participate as well.

According to recruitment officer Nick Pa-

jic, UCN’s The Pas and Thompson campuses switch hosting duties every year, with the event coming back to the Hub of the North in 2019.

Pajic also said that the expo used to be a strictly UCN-centred affair, but gradually opened up to include other organizations, to the point where they even invited representatives from Red River College to take part in this year’s festivities.

UCN’s 2019 career expo featured appearance from groups like Manitoba Hydro, Thompson Fire & Emergency Services, R.D. Parker Collegiate, MDS AeroTest and Vale.

This time, this election, I won’t pay attention to the platforms or policy statements that political parties make. I will look at their statement of values. If you can’t find those, ask for them. How close to my values are the values of the political parties? Ask the candidates about their values, their personal ones? And like the old detective stories say, “follow the money.”

Who do the parties give money to, real money, not a few dollars of tax reduction. Even more important, who pays taxes?

The way money moves through our communities tells more about the agendas of the politicians than anything else.

Don’t be manipulated by fear, by racism, by promises with no substance. Our lives are too valuable for those things to bend our communities and families out of shape. Remember what Jesus said: what we do to other people is what we are doing to him. Everyone is made in the image of God. Honour that image.

Rev. Leslie-Elizabeth King is the retired minister of the Lutheran-United Church of Thompson.

The world is much more complicated now and it is easy to be overwhelmed, bamboozled, misguided and manipulated.

As a result of this complexity and all the messages coming at us, many of us become cynical and stop trusting what any political organization says. We end up reacting emotionally which leaves us wide open to being manipulated so someone will get all the power they want.

And the agenda of the corporations that spend millions of dollars lobbying politicians (not on elections because there are limits on donations) is to get decisions made that will increase their profits and the profits of their stockholders.
