Cross Lake finishes on top at First Nations firefighter competition
BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Thompson’s first time as host of the Manitoba First Nations Firefighters Competition on Aug. 1 was memorable for two of the Northern Manitoba teams among the 10 participating teams, as Cross Lake took first overall and a berth in the national competition, while Garden Hill finished third behind Sagkeeng. The champions move on to the Aboriginal Firefighters Association of Canada National Firefighter Competition in Rama, Ont. on Aug. 15. Other teams competing at the event at the Thompson Regional Community Centre parking lot included Opaskwayak Cree Nation, the Northlands Densuline First Nation at Lac Brochet, Ebb and Flow, Lake Manitoba and St. Theresa Point. Women’s teams from Garden Hill and St. Theresa Point also competed. “Everything went great,” said Ivban Hart of Keewatin Tribal Council, which hosted the event. “The teams that were there enjoyed the weekend in Thompson. I heard nothing but good comments about Thompson being the host.” Competitors took part in hose rolling, high-flow knockdown, endurance relay and self-contained breathing ap-
paratus relay (SCBA) events, along with a bucket brigade that saw Thompson Fire & Emergency Services (TFES) compete against the Garden Hill women’s team. “That was a fun event for them,” said Hart, adding that organizers and competitors were thankful for everyone else who chipped in, including the provincial Office of the Fire Commissioner, which assisted with organization and provided equipments, as well as TFES. “They were a huge help,” said Hart. “They provided all of the officials. Without them, this event wouldn’t be possible.” TFES Chief John Maskerine said the nine department members who served as officials as well as the station crew who were on standby for medical assistance were happy to help and to have the competition in Thompson. “We met some firefighters that we never met before from down south and up north,” said Maskerine. “By the middle of the competition it was like one big family having fun. We had a heck of a good time.” No matter where they’re from, said Maskerine, firefighters share a common bond. “We’re all doing the same job, sometimes with a little less equipment,” he said.

Body builders I had pain in my life, inflicted by demons. I thought if there is Satan, then there must be God; if I can reach out to God He would rescue me, because God is good and more powerful than Satan, but what is the way to God, How do I find Him? They showed me that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Him. I gave my life to Jesus so that He could save me from demonic oppression. Soon, I discovered that there was a bonus! I had gained eternal life by the grace of God through my faith in Jesus’ death for my sins! This was 30 years ago. The freedom from the demonic was firm and yet it was in installments. Freedom from the most pressing problems came immediately, but the rest remained until we learned the most important lesson. Someone showed us the verse in James 4:7 “Submit to God, resist the Devil and he will flee from you.” This we studied and did and freedom furthered in the speed we submitted to God. Submission to God is submission to God, and not to the church. It is to seek His will and purposes for one’s life. It is the key

Pastor Murat Kuntel to have healthy relationship with God and to have peace of mind. I am shocked to see Christians doing as they wish which includes submitting to the church which gives messages they like to hear but not to God, therefore satisfying their spiritual cravings with self-satisfying idolatry, instead of by God Himself and some being so much confused despising true faith without knowing what they are doing. You say, you don’t know what I am talking about… Here it is… The church “according to your tradition” helps you to build yourself by telling what you are not supposed to do, I call that 11th commandment, and it begins with something like this, “you shouldn’t drink….” Church people abiding by these rules think they build themselves up spiritually, and they feel good about themselves. But, our faith
is not about building myself up, and it is not about feeling good about myself. It is about emptying myself in building others up. It is about pleasing God. Knowing this is a task above and beyond our capacity God has already built us up by empowering us with the Holy Spirit so that we can be filled by the Holy Spirit in order to do God’s purposes. The correct questions are what God’s will and plan for me and for my church is. How do I serve You my God in my private life and in my church and also as Your church in this city? How do I remain filled by the Holy Spirit? As long as we dismiss these questions and we decide what we do in our lives, and we are in control of our churches, we declare our independence of God and that is outright rejection which distances God from us. It does not matter how many self-build books
Cross Lake wrestler representing Manitoba at Western Canada Games BY IAN GRAHAM

Spiritual Thoughts
I read and build myself up. I have been disconnected from the presence of God although the Holy Spirit is still living in me. The Holy Spirit being so gentle waits there with great patience, still loving me while Jesus in heaven intercedes for me to be set free from this demonic deception. All the while I am puzzled why my heavenly Father is not answering my legitimate prayers. Could it be to get my attention to check what is wrong in my life? But all I see is that I don’t do this and that “the 11th commandment obeyed” so I am a fine Christian. How about praying to God that we remain filled with His Holy Spirit? How about praying this for hours, crying it out loud? How about desiring His presence in the church, coming to church every week with expectation that He will touch us, at least some will be healed from their illnesses? How about us crying to Him to reveal us His will for our churches? How about repenting religion? How about being real? Murat Kuntel is the pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. He came to Thompson in June 2014.
Cross Lake’s Garvin McKay is representing Manitoba at the 2015 Western Canada Summer Games in Wood Buffalo, Alberta in the wrestling competition. The 16-year-old McKay was a silver medallist as a 14-year-old in the 75-kilogram male individual competition at the Manitoba Winter Games in Morden, Stanley and
Winkler in March 2014, where he won three of four matches. He has also played hockey, soccer and basketball and was a member of the Pimicikamak Thunder softball team that won the under-16 boys Western Canadian championship in Duncan, B.C. last summer. McKay is coached by Kendall Robinson and competed on his school’s
wrestling team and says his teacher Rob Hotchek is his personal role model for encouraging him in sports and to have faith in all that he does. “I get encouragement from my family about working hard and being determined,” McKay said in his Team Manitoba bio page and his goal for the Western Canada Summer Games is to win gold for his province.

Awareness walk starts in Manitoba, and hopes to travel to British Columbia BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Six people from Manitoba and Ontario have taken to the streets to raise awareness for missing and murdered indigenous people of Canada. The walkers walked from Norway House to Winnipeg, about 800 kilometres, and are continuing on to the destination point of British Columbia. Brenda Osborne’s daughter Claudette has been missing since 2008, but when asked if she’s walking for her, Osborne quickly said she’s walking for everyone.
“I think everyone has forgotten about the missing and murdered. People are going missing and murderers are getting away with murder. We want to raise awareness.” Back in 2011 the group walked to Ottawa, but thought it was time to raise awareness in Western Canada. The walkers plan to go through Saskatoon and Edmonton before hitting Prince Rupert. “We will probably speak to media along the way, and are hoping to have vigils in a
few places,” Osborne explained. The walk has been tiring, stressful and emotional , said Osborne, but worth it. The participants come from Norway House, Winnipeg, Sagkeeng, Lake Manitoba, Duck Bay, and Red Lake, Ontario. “All of us are walking for our families, and all of us have been affected. This is why we’re doing it. We need the awareness, so people aren’t blind to murders.” Osborne went on to explain that they had set up a GoFundMe account, but there
have been technical difficulties, so the walkers are asking for donation through email transfer, to the email address ohmyguiboche@ gmail.com. Donations will go towards supplies and food. Osborne hopes that people will see the group and the support vehicle, and will walk with them for a period of time and learn about the issue of missing and murdered indigenous people. By the end of the walk they will have walked more than 3,500 kilometres.

Communities across the provinces receive funding for infrastructure BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Communities all over Manitoba are benefitting from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. On July 31, two days before an election was called, Portage-Lisgar Conservative MP Candice Bergen visited Churchill to make an announcement on behalf of Honourable Michelle Rempel, minister of state for Western Economic Diversification. During the funding announcement it was shared that four projects would be receiving $466,260 overall. The Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program helps fund renovations, expansions and rehabilitations of existing infrastructure that benefits the community. One of the four projects that is receiving funding is
an upgrade to the baseball field in Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN). The community will be receiving $125,335 to go towards the park. NCN will also be receiving another $87,600 to go towards upgrades to the entrance sign and to construct a cenotaph. The third project is happening is in Churchill, and that’s the replacement of the gravel baseball diamond at the multipurpose sports field. $221,825 will go to that project. The final project highlighted in the announcement is $31,500 for upgrades to the Sunset Bay Beach in Snow Lake. Jordan Willner, chief administrative officer for the Town of Snow Lake, says the funding will be put with other funding the municipality and the Snow Lake
Beach Enhancement Committee has obtained. Upgrades including landscaping, installing a culvert to assist with drainage, and replacing the swimming dock with a new one. On July 31, it was also announced that five other projects would be benefiting from the new Building Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund. The fund will provide $5,098,127 and the province of Manitoba will contribute $5,296,255 to the projects as well. Churchill will be getting a new sewer line on Kelsey Boulevard that is pre-insulated and suitable for northern weather, since the previous line is 40 years old. Five-hundred metres of water and wastewater lines will be replaced in Snow Lake and The Pas will replace the town’s
Forest fires under control thanks to fire-unfriendly weather BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Cooler, wetter weather has calmed the forest fire situation down in Manitoba but there were still 43 fires burning as of Aug. 5, with all but five of those in the province’s north. There were 37 fires burning in the northeast region on Aug. 5, with one other burning in the province’s northwest. The remaining five fires were all in the eastern region, which has seen the second-highest number of fires – 101 – in the province this year, trailing only the northeast,
which has had 198, with 86 fires so far in the northwest region. The most hectares – 23,793 – have burned in the northwest, while the northeastern fires have burned 22,185 hectares. As of Aug. 4, there were 10 helicopters, six waterbombers and 27 extra firefighters fighting fires in Manitoba. Of the 37 fires in the northeast region as of Aug. 5, 11 were classified as no action and 17 were being watched, while one other limited actioned fire was under control. There were eight actioned fires,
seven of which were being watched with one other under control. Three fires in the northwest had been extinguished since Aug. 4 and the remaining fire was under control as of Aug. 5. Most of the northeast’s fires – 140 – so far have been caused by lightning with 58 caused by people. In the northwest, 73 fires were ignited by lightning and 13 by people. Provincewide, lightning is responsible for 280 fires this summer and people caused 160. The total of 440 fires this year is the most since 2013, when there were 494.

Ore boat won’t float Marc Jackson
My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com
In an area known as much for the mines that fuel its economy as it is for the natural beauty outside each and every doorstep, many say it is the Mandy Mine that is the granddaddy of them all. Although a comparatively small orebody by today’s standards – it was only 100 feet long, 12 feet wide, and pinched off at a depth of 200 feet – nevertheless the grades that workers wheedled from that small property had seldom been seen up to that point … and seem

even rarer in the mines of the present. A publication that marked the placing of a commemorative plaque at the Flin Flon Town Park in 1975 stated that the Mandy was discovered in 1915 by Hudson Bay Railway engineer F.C. Jackson and prospector S.S. Reynolds. It was developed, not by Hudbay, but by a company called the Mandy Mining Company, which was a subsidiary of Nevada-based Tonopah Mining Company. Using what was said to be the first diamond drill to operate in Manitoba, the company located the Mandy’s extremely rich orebody, which graded 20 per cent copper, 0.085 oz/ton gold and 2.42 oz/ ton silver. Between 1916 and 1920, much of the mine’s 17,000 tons of ore were barged down Schist Creek to the south side of Athapapuskow Lake, then hauled by horse and wagon to Sturgeon Landing on the Saskatchewan River, barged another 209 km to The Pas, and finally transported 1,931 km by rail to a smelter in Trail, B.C. It is that initial journey from Schist Creek to Athapap where this short story picks up. Many of those lesser journeys were made by a boat that now languishes in the weeds and willows where Highway 392 ends upon entry to Snow Lake. That boat, so weatherworn and aged that a name is indiscernible, and no one, not even its current
Nickel Belt News photos by Marc Jackson Rupert Klyne (inset) and his Mandy Mine ore boat that sits at the entrance to Snow Lake. owner, Rupert Klyne, seems able to come up with one. However, Klyne did know some of the boat’s background. He shared that and the story surrounding how he came to own the storied vessel. Klyne says that he has owned the boat for close to 30 years and purchased it from Ernie Cryderman (of Cryderman Clam or Cryderman Mucker fame). He stated that he didn’t know who sold it to Cryderman, but from what he has been able to gather on the craft it was constructed by Flin Flon’s Eric Pearson. “It was used to haul ore from Flin Flon, down through Schist Lake to Cranberry Portage,” Klyne said, adding that anyone who could substantiate or further add to the lineage of the boat
has passed away. However, Klyne did have an interesting story surrounding the purchase of the craft. “I was talking to Ernie (Cryderman) one day and he told me about this boat he had in the bush by the airport near Bakers Narrows,” recalled Klyne. “Anyway, next time through there, I went and had a look at it. It was in rough shape, but salvageable. And when I found out the history of the boat, I figured it would be an ideal project.” Klyne and Cryderman worked out a deal on the purchase of the boat and Klyne hired a Snow Lake contractor to move it to its current location in Snow Lake. A millwright by trade, Klyne’s original plan was to rebuild the vessel to spec and use it on Wekusko
Lake, but as time went on, he got doing other things and the boat just sat. Nevertheless, he received a call one day from a gentleman looking to buy the fourcylinder diesel motor from the boat. He thought about it and advised the man that he would sell the motor if this gent took it out, but that he should leave the drive shaft and massive 18” brass propeller intact and in the boat. After the sale went through, Klyne went up to look at the boat and saw that the motor, drive shaft, prop and the guy he’d sold it to had all left town! The boat has sat and deteriorated ever since. Klyne says that he is fine with leaving it where it sits; however, he is also open to donating it to any museum that could possibly make use of it.
PimicikamakThunder are Western Canadian softball champs once again BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
The Pimicikamak Thunder boys’ softball team made up of players from Cross Lake came from behind and then took their second straight under-16 Western Canadian softball championship in Regina, Sask. Aug. 3, capturing the title from the Shelbrook Rangers with a 5-3 win on a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Rangers – Saskatchewan’s representative in the tournament – went up 2-0 to start the game before the Thunder cut their lead in half and then tied the game 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth inning. The game was the fourth meeting of the tournament for the two teams, who finished first and second in the round-robin, with
