Indigenous Music Award nomination just icing on the cake for former Thompson musician

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

For Richard Farrow, music has always been about learning, ever since he first picked up an instrument nearly a quarter-century ago.

“I was about 14 years old,” he recalls. “I bought myself an electric guitar and an amp and I had no clue what to do with it.”

Fortunately, his father was also a musician and set him up with a lesson.

“He drew out three chords on a piece of paper and I practised them for a week solid and then me and my brother started playing songs after a week of practising this stuff on paper and then we just kind of taught ourselves the rest,” says Farrow, who’s come a long way since those early days, having been named one of five nominees for best country album in this year’s Indigenous Music Awards.

The nomination came as a surprise to Farrow, 37, who grew up in northeastern Manitoba – Brochet and Lynn Lake – and spent more than a decade living in Thompson before moving south this year so his wife could be closer to family and he wouldn’t have to worry about job security, something that became an issue for him working for Vale’s Manitoba Operations.

“I didn’t even know that I submitted anything,” he told the Nickel Belt News while in town April 20-21 to play a couple shows at Trappers Tavern. “My wife did it all.

My wife took it and submitted everything through Manitoba Music and then I found out I was nominated for an award so it was kind of surprising.”

Nickel Belt News photo by Ian Graham Richard Farrow, seen here performing at Nickel Days in Thompson is 2017, is one of five nominees for best country album at the Indigenous Music Awards being held in Winnipeg May 18.

The exposure the nomination will bring is welcome, Farrow says, regardless of whether he ends up winning the award or not.

“It helps open up some doors and that’s just another thing you can put on the resume, right?” said Farrow, who will be performing this Canada Day at Dauphin’s Countryfest. “We’ll be doing an hour and 15 minutes there at country fest on the Bell MTS stage.”

Over the years, Farrow has opened for various wellknown bands and musicians, including Tom Cochrane, The Sheepdogs and 54-40 during

the Nickel Days social in Thompson and he says every person he’s ever played with has helped shape the musician he is.

“In the last 20 years I must have met hundreds and hundreds of musicians,” he said.

“I can’t even remember all of them but you learn something from each and every one of those people and they have something to bring to you, each in their own ways because every musician is different. When you open your mind and open your heart and you learn those things instead of shutting everything out, it works out a lot better.”

Farrow is nominated for his album God Willing, which he recorded in Maple Ridge, B.C. last June with Tom Mckillip of Downe Under Recording. But most of his musical career has been about getting on stage with whoever he can round up at least a couple of weekends a month and having a good time.

“Having a good time is the main thing,” he said.

“It’s more fun for me if I can have my friends up there with me and then we’re all having a good time and then everybody’s happy and it makes the stage atmosphere a lot better, too. Everybody’s

having fun and laughing and joking around and then you can perform better as well.”

Now that he’s moved down south, Farrow is getting an opportunity to play some shows he might not have had the chance to while he was living in Thompson.

“I just got a call the other day to do a fundraiser in Winnipeg for the homeless,” he said. “There’s a bunch of us guys that are going get together and put on a big show down at the Thunderbird House on Main Street.

We’ll be raising money for homeless people to shelter them and feed them through

their cold winters so we’re going to all do our little part there and see what we can come up with. There’s a woman called the Bannock Lady. She’s going to be out there doing her bannock thing. I’m going to try to get some fish from some people here up north and if I can get enough we’ll get her to cook that up as well and we’ll feed the homeless and play music for them and just let them enjoy their day.”

The Indigenous Music Awards will be handed out May 18 in Winnipeg, but Farrow says whatever happens, music will always be his passion.

“It makes me happy and it makes me feel at peace,” he says. “That’s my escape time when I’m on that stage.

It’s relaxing for me. I feel at peace with the world. You don’t have to think about work, you don’t have to think about your bills, you don’t have to think about anything like that. Just sing your heart out and we don’t worry about anything else when we’re up there.”

That lesson is something ne learned being around his dad and uncles, who all played music.

“It’s something that’s in my heart that I’ve always felt since I was a kid,” he said. “When I was younger, my dad and all my uncles played and they never did it seriously. It was just a basement band sort of thing.”

The pleasure of performing is a reward in and of itself, Farrow says.

“If you can’t have fun doing something that you love, then you may as well not do it at all.”

Tourism remains a hot topic inside Thompson council chambers

BY KYLE DARBYSON KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Since the future of Thompson’s mining industry remains in a constant state of flux, local organizations have been busy evaluating the city’s potential as a lucrative tourist attraction.

The April 23 council meeting saw members of the Thompson Chamber of Commerce outline the merits of their new tourism action plan to the mayor and councillors.

This group consisted of Keith MacDonald of the Thompson Hotel Association, Volker Beckmann of Spirit Way Inc. and Rajinder Thethy of the Thompson Chamber of Commerce, who all talked at length about how the Hub of the North has plenty of untapped potential as a hot travel destination.

“Thompson has a lot to offer, we just haven’t marketed ourselves,” said Thethy, who currently serves as the chamber’s president.

“If we do it correctly, with the resources that we have … we can actually come up with an excellent marketing plan to get tourists coming here.”

In terms of the travel action plan itself, which was submitted to the city back in March, Thethy ran through

the document’s seven strategic priorities, including: • Leadership structure • Tourism product development • Funding model • Marketing and communication • Hospitality training and recognition • Community pride and beautification • Tourism infrastructure development “All of these priorities lead to one ultimate action plan, which is the creation of a destination marketing office,” said Thethy. “It is independent and it is funded by various community organizations. And is tasked with being the leadership organization that will go and attract tourists and help carry this strategy forward.“ However, in order to move all of these initiatives forward, Thethy stated they are going to require funding through the City of Thompson to replace services formerly provided by the defunct Thompson Unlimited.

“That organization’s mandate was 25 per cent related to tourism, so that’s the funding that we were hoping to come to the city to ask for once we establish the next step.”

Thethy also added that Travel Manitoba, who made

Nickel Belt News photos by Kyle Darbyson From left to right, Keith MacDonald (Thompson Hotel Association), Rajinder Thethy (Thompson Chamber of Commerce) and Volker Beckman (Spirit Way Inc.) went over their tourism action plan at council’s April 23 meeting. their own tourism presentation to council back in February, has already green-lit $25,000 for this venture.

While many councillors agreed that the tourism industry is a great way to fill the financial void left behind

by Vale, some of them remain skeptical of how these ambitious initiatives will be put into action.

Councillors Penny Byer and Colleen Smook even referenced past efforts to develop tourism products and recruit training personnel that ended unsuccessfully.

Despite past failures, Thethy remains optimistic about the future, as long as the city and other fellow partners are willing to work together to make this plan a reality.

“This strategy doesn’t belong to the chamber. It belongs to all of us,” he said.

“It has to be a collaborative approach.”

Election remuneration rate increase With the 2018 general municipal election set to take place Oct. 24, council decided to bump up election officials’ remuneration rates.

This increase is equal to a yearly cost of living increase of 1.5 per cent since 2009.

Now, a senior poll official will be making $315 a day, whereas an assistant poll clerk will be compensated with $275 a day. These rates apply to those who are working during advance and election day polls, while assistant clerks working on election day will be making an even $200.

After meeting with the finance and administration committee April 16, sen-

ior election official David Turpie recommended this change based on the 2014 general election, where they required 35 fewer officials than in 2010 because of their new electronic voting machines.

Council approved this resolution unanimously.

Other business High school student Hayley Jenkins was council’s guest of honour at the very beginning of the meeting, with Mayor Dennis Fenske presenting her with a certificate of appreciation for

all her local volunteer work.

Jenkins recently won a Young Humanitarian Award from the Manitoba Teachers’ Society, based on her years of contributing to charitable campaigns that include: collecting food for the food bank, knitting quilts for crisis centre and countless other pursuits through local social justice groups like Students Offering Support and Hands, Heart and Hope.

Nickel Belt News photo by Kyle Darbyson David Hastman, who represents the provincial government on the Thompson Planning District board, was the biggest voice of opposition to expanding eligibility of that organization to include Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation during an April 23 planning district meeting, which took place right before a council meeting.

BY KYLE DARBYSON KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Prior to the April 23 council meeting at City Hall, the Thompson Planning District conducted a short meeting to vote on whether or not to let Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) become a voting member.

According to a memo prepared by Thompson’s director of development services Anthony McInnis, the planning district is located within NCN’s traditional territory, which means that the two organizations share overlapping financial interests. NCN also owns the Mystery Lake Hotel on property designated as reserve land within city limits, as well as Family Foods in the Thompson Plaza.

The city’s administrative staff recommended that the Thompson Planning District amend their eligibility re-

quirements to include NCN. However, board member David Hastman strongly opposed this resolution, which he said excludes other First Nations located near York Landing, Cross Lake, Pikwitonei and Thicket Portage.

“I don’t see any consideration of these communities or the impacts of having another First Nation influence in their traditional territories,” said Hastman, who represents the provincial government on the board.

“Approving this resolution will also set a precedent for all the other communities who hope to have a seat on the board, including individuals with large sets of land within the planning district.”

Hastman went on to say that this resolution wasn’t ever brought up for discussion before April 23, which makes voting on it premature.

McInnis later confirmed that the board members were slated to discuss this issue during an April 12 development review committee meeting, but the meeting never took place due to a lack of quorum Coun. Judy Kolada was one of the first board members to back Hastman’s criticism, claiming that the Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) fully intends on setting up business interests in Thompson on its own urban reserve lands.

Board member Coun.

Penny Byer motioned to table this issue for a future date. Hastman abstained from voting due to a perceived conflict of interest. After her motion was passed, Mayor Dennis Fenske said the resolution will be discussed further at an upcoming development review committee meeting.

Province needs to amend sections of two bills that deal with public notices

BY JOHN KENDLE On April 14, speaking at the Manitoba Community Newspapers Association’s 99th annual dinner, provincial Sport, Culture and Heritage Minister Cathy Cox assured publishers and staff of the province’s 48 community newspapers that public notices required of provincial and municipal governments will remain in newspapers.

Cox said that — despite clauses in Bill 8 (The Gov-

ernment Notices Modernization Act) and Bill 19 (The Planning Amendment Act) which strike requirements that such notices be placed in newspapers — the Progressive Conservative government of Manitoba would pass the bills in their current form but would not “proclaim” into law the sections pertaining to public notices. he repeated that position three days later at a meeting with MCNA’s board of directors.

While Cox clearly meant well, her announcement simply doesn’t go far enough. Leaving sections of these bills “unproclaimed” means that government could enact these provisions without warning or consultation.

The thought does not sit well. That a government will have legislation on the

books that does away with requirements to publish government and municipal notices in newspapers could make it difficult for Manitobans to actively participate in the democratic process.

The province’s community newspapers, which publish more than 400,000 copies each week and which boast readership numbers of 80 per cent, are the surest way of informing the public of the activities and business of provincial and municipal governments.

Making notices available only online, as proposed, not only assumes that people will actively seek them out, which is highly unlikely, it blatantly ignores those Manitobans with poor or no internet access.

The only proper way to deal with Bill 8 (sponsored by Cox) and Bill 19

(sponsored by Municipal Relations Minister James Wharton) is to either amend the sections that deal with public notices or to withdraw the bills altogether.

Over the past week, MCNA directors have met with the NDP caucus, the Liberal caucus and independent MLA Steven Fletcher, all of whom fully support our positions on Bills 8 and 19.

The NDP has gone so far as to ensure that Bill 8 will be held over until the fall session of Legislature to allow for further debate.

That leaves Bill 19 to be dealt with in this, the spring session of the current Legislature. When Wharton called for second reading of Bill 19 in the Manitoba Legislative Assembly on April 19, he was asked by several opposition MLAs how the government would

According to Hansard, he said: “The government will seek to amend the bill to ensure newspaper-notice requirements is preserved.”

The MCNA intends to hold Wharton to his word.

In the next week, a standing committee will be called to discuss Bill 19 and to hear from the public on the bill. Every Manitoban may appear before the committee to express concerns with the bill in the hope it will be amended.

The MCNA and its member papers will be in attendance to encourage the committee to propose an amendment to Section 25 of Bill 19 – the section removing the requirement to advertise public notices pertaining to the Municipal Planning Act. The government is proposing the re-

quirement be changed to simply posting notice on a municipality’s or planning department’s website for 27 days prior to any public hearing.

The MCNA will request that Bill 19 maintain the current requirement to place public notices in newspapers, and that it add a requirement to also post them on a municipality’s or planning department’s website. uch an amendment will truly enhance communication between government and the public — not reduce it, as Bill 19 does in its current form.

Daylin Monias headed to Europe after putting in an impressive hockey season

BY KYLE DARBYSON KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

While many Thompson youth have already put away their skates now that the regular minor hockey season is over, Daylin Monias is making sure his pair is kept nice and sharp.

After all, it’s not every day that you get invited to play hockey overseas.

According to Monias’s mother Carlee, the 11-yearold and his older brother Rydell are travelling to Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic for the first two weeks of August to play with the Top Guns AAA hockey development team known as the Canada Cowboys.

“We’re pumped. We’re really excited,” she said.

“They go to Canmore for a week where they do a camp, and then they fly out for 12 days … they do the expedition games and then they play in the tournament in Prague.”

While Carlee is thrilled for her son, she isn’t exactly surprised that he is getting this kind of opportunity.

After all, Monias has displayed a profound level of passion and commitment to the game ever since he was able to walk.

“I think he was born with skates on his feet,” she said.

“We put him on skates and he took off when he was 18 months old and he hasn’t really turned back.”

Even though Monias has only been playing league hockey for six years, his tal-

In the space of a single season, he’s been invited to lace up his skates for atom, peewee and a number of speciality teams like the Thompson Little Chiefs. And this isn’t even counting the hockey programs he participates in during off-season. “[He] makes the passes that kids his age just can’t make or don’t even see,” said Ryan Stuart, who’s coached Monias for the last two years. “If he’s going

into the corner with someone, he’s coming out with the puck almost every time … truthfully, he’s always been one of the best players from this last year.”

However, Stuart’s decision to make Monias captain of this year’s atom AA King Miners team ultimately came down to his qualities as a leader, including his good character and the fact that he never misbehaves.

Stuart went on to say that this season also represents a real career highlight for

Monias.

Not only did he lead the atom AA and peewee A King Miners to decisive victories in the Munn Cup and Prince-Berscheid Memorial Hockey Tournament, respectively, but he also captured the Most Valuable Player award in both competitions.

Skate Canada also named Monias the Most Dedicated Norman CANPower Skate Athlete as part of their 2018 Manitoba Achievement Awards, although his

mother pointed out that he was too busy competing in a hockey tournament in Morden to accept this award in person.

But Carlee revealed that this is just par for the course for their family, since hockey dominates their schedule year-round.

“We’re either at the rink or we’re at the outdoor rink, or sleeping. Or we’re travelling to a hockey tournament,” she said. “From the beginning of Christmas until [March], we’re home three

weekends, and of those three weekends, two of them were home tournaments.”

Despite this gruelling schedule, Monias told the Nickel Belt News that his genuine enthusiasm for the sport hasn’t waned and he still has his eye on competing at a professional level once he gets older.

“I’m probably going to … play with a team down south and hopefully get scouted and play in like the OHL or something,” he said. “And then maybe the NHL.”

Time to unplug Manitoba Hydro The Crown corporation is an archaic operation based on faulty principles, bad management and outdated market conditions

BY IAN MADSEN

SENIOR POLICY ANALYSTFRONTIER CENTRE FOR PUBLIC POLICY

Manitoba Hydro’s costly Keeyask dam project and Bipole III transmission line debacle – and the taxpayers’ likely assumption of much of the horrendous debt – were not inevitable. But Crown corporations have vulnerabilities inherent in being created and controlled by government.

Risk begins with the false notion that Crown corporations are essential, providing services that the private sector can’t.

It’s a sensitive topic in Manitoba, which has a long history of Crown corporation service delivery. And Crown corporations certainly made sense when there were less developed capital markets, and when the technology favoured monopoly provision of power or telecommunications.

Yet Canada now has several private power companies. And when privatesector utilities get in trouble, they’re a problem for just their owners and creditors, not for taxpayers.

Crown involvement, however, puts the public at particular risk. Manitoba Hydro’s restructuring could devastate ratepayers and taxpayers.

Government ownership is not inherently more virtuous than private ownership. All firms pursue goals: profit, in the case of the private sector, and something wider and more nebulous for a Crown corporation such as Manitoba Hydro. There’s clearly a social-welfare aspect for Manitoba Hydro, with efforts to train and develop local Indigenous staff and contractors. It also finances non-utility goals, to serve its master (the government).

Creators of Crown enterprises are not necessarily astute or experienced in finance, industry or commercial enterprise. Founders and planners typically come from the civil ser-

vice, non-profit advocacy and policy organizations, and government-supported agencies. So do many of their subsequent directors.

The non-taxable status of Crown corporations means low profit thresholds, tempting these enterprises to invest in projects with low returns, which too often end up in the red. Crown corporations also often have weak or inappropriate compensation and performance targets, making it difficult to attract productive, effective and superior staff.

Without profitability and strong solvency as goalposts, Manitoba Hydro’s current mess is unsurprising.

Crown ownership has or implies a government guarantee. This has enabled Manitoba Hydro to borrow excessively for the dubious Keeyask dam and Bipole III projects. Related to this is hubris: the expansion of Manitoba Hydro was, at its core, an attempt to lever costly hydroelectric potential for the export market.

Management and politicians erroneously believed they could outwit market forces.

Crown corporation directors often over-invest. Manitoba Hydro, for example, sought to develop the north and assist Indigenous communities despite the financial risks.

Stewardship of Crown corporations, in theory, lies with boards of directors who are responsible to politicians. But rarely do elected officials have the requisite expertise to direct large, complex companies such as Manitoba Hydro.

In addition, the financial reckoning for Crown corporations often means expensive restructuring after excessive debt loads develop. Manitoba Hydro’s debt wasn’t on the province’s ledger, which gave taxpayers a false sense of independence from its deteriorating condition. However, its debt – now expect to reach $25 billion – endangers the province’s fi-

nances, compelling budget cutting that hurts individuals, families, industries and economic growth.

There is no free lunch.

Yet politicians will kick the can down the road as far as possible, so Manitobans can expect large power bill increases to fund the Keeyask/ Bipole III folly.

Manitoba’s Crown corporation monopoly model is obsolete and the government needs to take action: Sell off Manitoba Hydro’s Centra Gas division to pay down debt.

Take the remaining debt onto the government’s books to be paid off by ratepayers

through a modest monthly surcharge over 30 years.

Separate the transmission and generation services of Manitoba Hydro. Transmission, a natural monopoly, could be transferred to municipally owned co-operatives. Generation could be opened up to competition, allowing new services onto the grid.

Then again, Manitoba could just plod along with increasingly costly power provided by an archaic Crown corporation.
