Food, fun and ﬁerce competition mark 42nd Frontier Games in Lynn Lake BY JAMES LINDSAY SPECIAL TO THE NICKEL BELT NEWS

From Feb. 10-12 the student population of West Lynn Heights School (WLHS) in Lynn Lake doubled. The school has once again hosted the annual Regional Frontier Games, where students aged 11 to 15 meet in the spirit of sportsmanship, camaraderie and friendly competition. It is an event which allows students to meet with old friends and family from around their region, make new friends, and compete against them in a number of individual and team sports. This event is much anticipated by athletes, coaches, chaperones and hosts alike. The first guests to arrive travelled on Feb. 9 - a 580-kilometre bus charter from D.R. Hamilton School in Cross Lake. The following day saw the arrival of guests from Brochet Community School who were picked up at the Lynn Lake Airport. Teams from Oscar Blackburn School in South Indian Lake and Leaf Rapids Education Centre arrived by bus that afternoon. In total, approximately 175 athletes joined West Lynn Heights School athletes for the opening ceremonies on Wednesday evening. As part of his address to athletes and coaches, games convener and WLHS vice-principal Larry Skomorowski addressed the athletes and coaches, including a quote by Olympian Jesse Owens in 1936, “Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, but friends gather no dust.” The crowd was then enthralled by a performance by five traditional jingle and fancy dancers who are in Grades 1-5 at WLHS and a rap performance by Jermaine Merasty, AKA “D-63.” Kiara Johnson, an 11-year-old basketball and floor hockey player from Leaf Rapids remarked, “Sportsmanship is one of the things I liked most about this week. Everyone played hard and it’s all about having fun.” This was a theme that resonated throughout the week with most athletes. Alliyah Paupanekis, Chloe Mcleod and Karlyn Settee, a trio of 14-year-olds from Cross Lake, said, “Frontier Games was fun. The school is awesome, people are kind,” “I had so much fun here, it didn’t matter if I won as long as I had fun. So I wish I didn’t have to leave,” and “I didn’t really care about winning. I just cared about having fun.” The competition, however, was fast, furious, and many events were hotly

contested. Archery scores came down to single-point differences between first and second place on the girls’ scoresheet, and girls’ trap setting times, calculated by averaging totals, were decided by a difference of 0.35 seconds between second and third place. Boys’ table tennis saw first- and second-place finishes determined by 27 and 26 wins, respectively. The weather was challenging for both athletes and officials in outdoor events who stood against -33 Celsius temperatures and windchills between -45 and -50. WLHS educational assistant Kayla Dumas is highly commended for spending most of Thursday outside organizing and timing athletes through all the snowshoeing and cross-country skiing events. “It was minus a million out there. I don’t know how she did it all day,” another staff member was heard to comment. Visiting students were billeted in four classrooms and four multi-purpose rooms to ensure minimal disruption to elementary instruction. One of the most appreciated aspects of the week was the food provided. Staff and student volunteers served daily meals for approximately 200 over the course of the event, in addition to continuing the regular breakfast program for local students. Chief cook and bottle-washer Bobbi Walker ran an incredible food service with her team and has the thanks of everyone involved. “It’s been great to meet so many polite, happy and friendly kids. Food just makes everyone happier; the better the food the better the event.” Frontier School Division physical education co-ordinator Brian “Mick” McMillan, was also on hand for the week and presented medals to the winning athletes. First-place team sports competitors and badminton champions and the top two competitors in individual sports from this regional event, one of 10 regional events in the division, will advance to the 42nd Divisional Championships in Cranberry Portage March 2-4. “Hard work pays off in the end. Congrats to all the winners and a big thank you to West Lynn Heights School for being fantastic hosts once again.” Northern Manitoba may be the coldest part of the province, but no matter the weather, the warmth produced by every community represented here this week makes it seem like a tropical paradise. West Lynn Heights School would like to thank everyone involved for being a part of this event.

Man who died in Garden Hill holding cell was unlawfully detained and insufﬁciently monitored, inquest ﬁnds BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

An inquest into the death of 44-yearold Brian McPherson, who died of sudden heart failure while in custody in a band-operated detention facility in Garden Hill First Nation on Aug. 27, 2011, found numerous deficiencies in the supervision of intoxicated detainees as well as questionable practices that led to the arrest and detention of McPherson and others prior to his death. “There is little doubt Brian McPherson would have died on Aug. 27, 2011 regardless if he was arrested or not,” said the Feb. 9 inquest report prepared by provincial court Judge Malcolm McDonald, noting that he had heard testimony that McPherson’s son would hold a mirror up to his father’s moth and nose when he was passed out after drinking to check if he was breathing or not.

“There is, though, clear evidence that he was not lawfully arrested and that he should not have been detained and certainly not detained in cells that were overcrowded and in an unacceptable condition. It is foreseeable that others unlawfully detained and kept in such conditions could die as well if action is not taken.” The cell block in which McPherson was detained was only 3.32 metres by 2.67 metres, had doors secured by two-byfours and windows covered with cardboard and duct tape, preventing guards, who were not supposed to open the doors except in emergencies, from seeing inside. Additionally, the video monitors of the cells were low-resolution, blackand-white and did not provide sound transmission. McPherson was in a cell with seven other people the night he died and guards learned of his death around

8 a.m. when someone inside banged on the door saying McPherson was nonresponsive and bleeding. Attempts were made to revive McPherson but he was already stiff from rigor mortis at that point and he could not be revived. McPherson had been arrested by band constables and volunteer assistants on orders from Wayne Harper, a Garden Hill First Nation band councillor whose son had been arrested for being drunk and disorderly outside the McPherson residence. Witnesses testified that the constables had not requested permission prior to entering the residence, where Harper poured superjuice (a type of home-brewed alcohol) on the head of McPherson and others who were inside drinking but not particularly intoxicated. “The detention of persons who have consumed alcohol but are not causing disturbances and are still able to care for

themselves cannot be a reasonable approach,” wrote McDonald. “Intoxication often masks signs of serious illnesses and often intoxicated people are more prone to falling and internal bleeding – being placed in cells without bedding and hard walls and floors presents obvious dangers. It should only happen in the clearest of cases and as a last resort.” Some of McDonald’s recommendations included the provincial and federal governments working with First Nations and the RCMP to establish and maintain detention facilities with a proper standard of maintenance and hygiene, as well as implementing better recordkeeping and operational procedures in such facilities, better training of guards and upgrading video monitoring equipment to high-resolution colour cameras with sound transmission capabilities to assist guards in carrying out their duties.

LIQUOR LICENCE APPLICATION BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Mathias Colomb Cree Nation (MCCN) hosted a meeting with First Nations leaders from Northern Manitoba Feb. 10, to discuss the potential of a consortium surrounding the acquisition of OmniTrax Canada’s Manitoba assets, including the Hudson Bay Railway and the Port of Churchill. MCCN Chief Arlen Dumas notes that while the nation’s intent to purchase the rail does not hinge on interest in the consortium, he nonetheless stresses that joint ownership is an important component of providing a service that all communities can rely on. “The notion of a consortium has always been the foundation of the concept,” said Dumas. “I believe that in order to make the railway truly representa-

tive of the north, we have to give everyone the opportunity to become part-owner, and the consortium will help that happen. Everybody has the chance to be a part of it, though some people may not choose to do so. But we still need to move forward, because we need to provide for ourselves.” Nonetheless, the response to the invitation appears to have been well-received by First Nations leaders: Dumas notes that he has received several letters of support from those who had been unable to attend the consortium, and in a press relesae, MKO Grand Chief Sheila North Wilson offered her support of the endeavour. “We are pleased to see northern First Nations working together to acquire these assets in order to maintain critical services to our more remote

communities.” In addition, OmniTrax Canada has agreed, at the request of MCCN and afﬁliated communities, to restore twice-a-day transport for northern communities. While OmniTrax Canada president Merv Tweed said the company was initially conﬁdent they could adequately meet supply demands with only a single shipment per day, concerns arose last week when the North West Company reported that it may have to increase prices on fresh produce and meats by up to 13 percent due to the reduction of shipping services. After discussions between OmniTrax Canada and community stakeholders, including MCCN, service has been restored for the remainder of OmniTrax’s tenure over the rail line, in what both parties have described as a gesture of good faith.

First Nations organizations says community centre incident in Winnipeg reflects still-present racism BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) and Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) are speaking out about an incident in which a 14-yearold boy was the target or a racial epithet in a Winnipeg community centre. The boy, whose family is from Garden Hill First Nation, was told to get off the Champlain Community Centre grounds by a work-

er who swore and called him a stupid Indian, according to an interview the boy’s mother Jane Harper did with CBC news. The worker has since been ﬁred. “The citizens of our MKO First Nations use Winnipeg’s community centres on a daily basis and the law requires that the centres must provide an environment that is safe and free from discrimination and harass-

ment,” MKO Grand Chief Sheila North Wilson said in a joint MKO-AMC press release Feb. 16. “MKO is calling on Mayor [Brian] Bowman and the Indigenous Advisory Circle and the General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres (GCWCC) to immediately take action to reinforce the city’s compliance with anti-discrimination laws and with the city’s community centre respectful environment policy.”

“MKO is also calling on the Indigenous Advisory Circle to collaborate with the GCWCC and community centres to immediately launch regular indigenous inclusion programs for community centre staff and for everyone who uses the community centres that are compliant with standards of cultural competency and cultural safety. MKO is also asking Mayor Bowman to include a representative from an MKO First Nation

on the Indigenous Advisory Circle to help contribute a northern perspective to the work of the council,” added North Wilson. “It seems that the employees of the city’s community centres need a fast and earnest lesson on the effects of racism and discrimination” said AMC Grand Chief Derek Nepinak. “It’s going to be on the ground in the streets of the city where positive changes to the racism

faced daily by Indigenous peoples is going to have to be measured.” Winnipeg was characterized as Canada’s most racist city in a Maclean’s magazine article in January 2015. The boy’s family is considering legal options to address the incident, including criminal charges or a human rights complaint as well as asking for a protection order or peace bond via the court system.

Thompson’s Carroll Aeros and the Tataskewyak Cree Nation Eagles faced off in the Timmons Cup B division final of the 46th-annual Munn Cup atom hockey tournament in Thompson, which ended 11-6 for the Eagles. Tataskweyak led 3-2 at the end of the first period after getting the go-ahead goal about three minutes before the first intermission. The Aeros rebounded strongly in the second period, getting back-to-back goals in the first two minutes to lead 4-3. Tataskweyak struck back about five minutes later with the first of two consecutive goals of their own for a 5-4 second intermission lead. The Eagles scored the first four goals of the final frame before the Aeros scored twice to cut the deficit to three goals with about five minutes to play. Comeback hopes were extinguished with a pair of Tataskewyak goals in the final three minutes. The Eagles finished second in the round-robin with a 3-0 record to qualify for the final while Cross Lake and Wabowden were winless and Rankin Inlet won once. The A division round robin saw the Gillam Chargers win twice and tie once to finish second while Cross Lake was winless. Gillam lost 5-3 to Rankin in the Crockett Cup A division final.

Storm and Islanders will meet in ﬁrst round of KJHL playoffs BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Cross Lake Islanders wrapped up the Keystone Junior Hockey League regular season Feb. 13 with an 8-5 loss at home to the OCN Storm, the team they will face in a best-of-three ﬁrst round playoff series that begins Feb. 23 in OCN. The Storm scored twice in the ﬁnal minute of the game, once into an empty net, after Brandon McKay scored for the Islanders with 3:10 left in the game to cut the Storm’s lead to a single goal. Drake Lathlin had put OCN up by a pair about four minutes earlier after Austin Ross’s goal for

Cross Lake made it 6-4 for the Storm. The teams combined for seven goals in the second period – five of them by OCN – with Kenley Monias scoring around the midway point to make it a 2-2 game and Ross’s first of the contest making it 4-3 with five minutes left before the second intermission. The Islanders took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission on Monias’s first of the game. Shots in the contest were 75-62 for the Islanders but Luke Penner made 70 saves in OCN’s net to get his team the win while Tory Monias had 54 saves in a losing ef-

fort for Cross Lake. The Islanders got their 15th win of the season two days earlier at home, beating the Norway House North Stars 10-4 in a game that saw Cross Lake ﬁre 81 shots at North Stars’ netminder Jarred Gore. Braedan Boschman had four goals to lead the Islanders, who led 3-1 after the ﬁrst period and 7-2 at the second intermission, while Brandon McKay had a pair, with Rosaire McKay, Kenley Monias, Dennis Scatch and Keith Monias scoring singles. Brendan McLeod made 31 saves in net for Cross Lake, surrendering goals to An-

toni Grieves, Conley Spence, Hunter York and Marshall Mowatt. Gore stopped 71 shots in the loss. The North Stars wrapped up their season Feb. 14, falling 20-3 to the Storm at home. Mowatt had two goals for the North Stars and Harley Muminawatum the other as Norway Huouse was outshot 90-27, with Gore making 70 saves. The North Stars ﬁnished the season last in the North Division with a 1-33 record and were scheduled to face the fourth-place Fisher River Hawks in the ﬁrst game of a best-of-three playoff series last night.

Huskies beat Winterhawks to advance to midget AA league finals BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Pas Huskies punched their ticket to the playoff ﬁnals of the Norman Hockey Association’s midget AA league Feb. 13 by defeating the Cranberry Portage Winterhawks 16-6 in The Pas to win their best-of-three playoff series two games to none. Noah Butler led the Huskies with four goals in the deciding game. The Pas beat Cranberry Portage 9-5 the previous day to take a 1-0 series lead. Logan MacDonald led the Huskies with three goals in that game. The series win sends them to the ﬁnal against the winner of the series between the Thompson King Miners and Norway House North Stars that begins Feb. 19 in Thompson. Cranberry Portage advanced to the

series against The Pas by beating Cross Lake Islanders 1 two games to none in the opening playoff round, which featured the team’s bottom four teams squaring off for the right to face The Pas and Thompson, who ﬁnished ﬁrst and second in the standings in the regular season. The Winterhawks clinched a series victory Feb. 6 with a goal 10:52 into overtime for a 12-11 win after opening the series the previous day with a 12-8 victory. The other opening-round playoff series saw the Norway House North Stars win two games to one after scoring 26 seconds into overtime for a 7-6 victory over Cross Lake Islanders 2 Feb. 7. Hunter York had a hat trick for the North Stars in that game while Damian Ross did the same for the

Islanders. One day earlier, it was Cross Lake 2 scoring 1:37 into overtime for a 5-4 win that tied the series at one game apiece. Five different players scored for the Islanders in the victory. The series opened with a 15-4 Norway House win Feb. 5. The two Cross Lake teams faced off in a consolation playoff series Feb. 1215 that saw Cross Lake 1 emerge with a two-games-to-one victory thanks to a 12-4 win Feb. 15.

with one goal. That same afternoon, the King Miners faced off against their old nemesis the Flin Flon Bombers, whose rivalry dates back decades. A win would secure the King Miners a spot in the Munn Cup final. The Bombers and King Miners went head-to-head in a hard-fought battle that went down to the final buzzer. Despite a strong performance from Shayden Steeves and the defensive core, the result was the Bombers edging the Miners 3-2. Goal scorers for the Miners were Ethan Portey and Madexx Long. Sunday morning saw the King Miners finish the round robin against The Pas Huskies who were also fighting for a spot in the Sunday afternoon Munn Cup final. The King Miners outshot the Huskies but weren’t able to capitalize on their opportunities. Bryce Clemons had the lone goal for the King Miners. Led by strong goal tending, the Huskies beat the Miners 5-1 and secured a spot in the final against the Flin Flon Bombers. The afternoon game saw the King Miners face

off against the Cross lake Islanders once again. The Miners jumped on the Islanders from the opening whistle scoring four early goals. But just when you thought it was signed, sealed and delivered, the Islanders clawed their way back into the game, picking away at the lead and tying the score at 5-5 with minutes left to play! The King Miners dug deep and were not going to be denied as they scored back-to-back goals in the ﬁnal minutes to seal the victory. With a 7-5 victory the team laid claim to the Lamontagne Cup. Scoring for the Miners with two goals each were Madexx Long and Ethan Johnstone with singles by J.J Oke, Daylin Monias and Cayden Nychyporuk.

Scouts visit Ininiwi kiskinwamakewin Centre at UCN Thompson campus A group of scouts from the Thompson Scouts Group visited Ininiwi kiskinwamakewin Centre at the University College of the North (UCN) Thompson campus last week. The Ininiwi kiskinwamakewin Centre nurtures a cultural environment that builds bridges and promotes balance to meet the needs of the UCN community. “The people’s place of learning” is the interpretation of the name ininiwi kiskinwamakewin. The primary mandate of this centre was and continues to be the promotion of aboriginal culture and awareness as well as to support the incorporation of culturally proficient practices into all structures within UCN. Activities and programs at the centre have included but have not been limited to: traditional drumming, traditional counselling, solstice potlucks, annual powwows, annual elders gatherings, sharing circles and Traditional Persons Week presentations to support the incorporation of indigenous knowledge into the classroom. “We had an opportunity to learn about indigenous medicine, residential schools, dreamcatcher, smudging, their art and even fishing, trapping and hunting” Scouts Aeron, Gavin and Danica said. “I am so happy I could touch and feel a feather headdress at the aboriginal centre” Scout Brodie said. “As the hub for aboriginal students and aboriginal culture at the college, the centre takes great pride in respecting traditions and ceremonies and promoting the culture across the campus” said Troop Scouter Humaid Razool. “We took our scouts to the aboriginal centre at UCN because it’s important our kids should know about the aboriginal people, their customs and culture. It’s an opportunity to talk to elders and learn more about their experience as well.”

New constable completes local RCMP roster

Marc Jackson

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Snow Lake saw its complement of RCMP officers reach full potential early in January with the arrival of Const. Scott Norheim, his wife Adrienne Spence, and their 15-year-old daughter. Originally from Kyle, Saskatchewan, north of Swift Current, all the officer’s prior postings have been in Manitoba. His first out of Depot was Gillam in 2003, after which he transferred to highway patrol in Virden in 2007, spending eight-and-a-half years there before relocating in Snow Lake. The officer and his family are impressed with Snow Lake, seeing it as a gorgeous little community situated in an outdoor paradise. “I worked here five years ago performing relief duties and I liked it so much that I knew I had

to come back,” said Const. Norheim in an email interview. “It took me five years, but I finally made it back.” Asked what originally attracted him to police work, Norheim said that he liked the idea of being able to move around the country and work in small communities, rather than being confined to a city for his career. “I’ve always been drawn to the North,” he said. The constable says that in addition to the work here, he is looking forward to enjoying all the outdoor activities available to residents and getting to know members of the community. He enjoys playing hockey, hunting, fishing, sledding, and riding his Harley. “My wife enjoys figure skating, curling, and sledding as well,” said Norheim. “My daughter is a typical 15-year-old that can’t live without an electronic device, but has joined Rangers since coming to Snow Lake.” Having said that, Norheim will miss the freedom he had to roam all over southwestern Manitoba; as his highway patrol unit covered from the Saskatchewan border to Austin, Manitoba and from the U.S. border to Russell, Manitoba (40,000 sq. km.). “I’ll also miss the high volume of traffic on the Trans Canada Highway and the ridiculous

speeds that we used to get. The highest speed I ever had was 225 km/h,” he said! In closing, the ofﬁcer said that he and his family are really looking forward to their time in Snow Lake. Further to Const. Norheim’s Snow Lake arrival, the detachment also recently provided the town council with a fourth-quarter report. In the report it was noted during the month of November 2015, the Snow Lake RCMP responded to a total of 23 calls for service. Cpl. Eric Descoteaux reported that this is slightly lower from November 2014 when police responded to 25 calls. Of the November 2015 calls, only two of the 23 calls resulted in charges. Charges were laid for possession of controlled substances (marijuana) and public mischief. “The Snow Lake RCMP also served three offence notices for speeding and one suspension notice,” said Descoteaux. The corporal also brought up a Nov. 12 visit to the detachment by the mayor and council, noting that it was a great opportunity to get to know council members and to show them the detachment in addition to how members deal with their clients. “The visit was a success and we would like to invite mayor and council once or twice a

year for coffee and to discuss community issues or any other topics that you may have at the time,” he said. Advising council of the detachment’s community involvement, Descoteaux said members coached the floor hockey team at the school during November lunch hours. They also participated in gym classes, taking part along with the students. “This initiative was welcomed by the teachers and school principal,” said the corporal, noting they had been invited to coach the basketball team following the Christmas holidays. The Snow Lake RCMP is currently planning school presentations to Grade 9-12 about impaired driving, drugs and traffic violations. Reporting on the month of December 2015, the corporal said Snow Lake RCMP responded to a total of 10 calls. This too is lower than the corresponding month in 2014, where officers responded to 19 calls. No criminal charges were laid during December 2015. Descoteaux credited the fact that some of the prolific offenders within Snow Lake left the community and this brought in the lower numbers. “The RCMP elaborated

an offender management program in order to keep an eye on our most prolific offenders and making sure that they follow their conditions upon release from a correctional institution or after being charged of a criminal offence,” said the corporal. “The number of prolific offenders is very low here in Snow Lake, but we always have one or two files open per month. With intelligence gathering and crime reduction strategies we can manage to keep our offenders on the right track until they are done with the court process.” In respect to the staffing situation in the detachment, Descoteaux explained that Const. Robert Kroprowski was transferred to Fort St. John, BC. He noted that both the constable and his wife will be missed by everyone and remembered for their involvement in the community. “With Robert’s departure, there was one vacancy during the whole month of December,” the corporal continued. “We are looking forward to the arrival of our new member (Constable) Scott Norheim from Virden, Manitoba.” The corporal further informed council that the detachment held a check stop with the participation of the local natural resources officer on Dec. 4. “A total of 55 vehicles were stopped,”

Scott Norheim. he said. “Members queried driver’s licences, registration, and provided driving safety tips.” As noted in the previous month’s report, the corporal said that Const. Huddle attended Joseph H. Kerr School on Dec. 12 and gave two presentations to the Grade 9-10 and Grade 1112 classes about drinking and driving, ﬁnes, speeding tickets, underage drinking and check stops. He said that the students were encouraged to ask questions and the presentation was well received by all. “The holiday season was very quiet in Snow Lake,” he said in closing. “There were no reports of major incidents in the community.”

Dangerous Waterway Zone Construction of the Keeyask Generating Station is underway near Gull Rapids on the Nelson River. This can cause speed and depth of water in the area to change very quickly and may also result in an increased risk to public safety. Watch for signs, buoys and booms marking the dangerous waterway zone and avoid the area at all times during construction. Be alert, don’t get hurt.

Norman Wolves overcome geography to compete in southern-dominated league BY JONATHON NAYLOR FLIN FLON REMINDER

Even the most successful hockey players might learn a thing or two about determination from the Norman Bantam AAA Wolves. The club is a logistical marvel, pulling players from ﬁve northern Manitoba communities spanning hundreds of kilometres in order to compete in a southern-dominated league. “It’s a crazy amount of driving,” says Flin Flon’s Michelle Winton, a man-

ager with the Wolves and parent of one of the adolescent players. The Wolves are a ﬁrstyear team – an experiment, actually – to gauge the feasibility of adding a northern squad to the Winnipeg Bantam AAA League. The all-male league, open to players in grades 8 and 9 (generally ages 13 to 15), features 13 teams. The top teams this year are from Winnipeg and Brandon.

The Wolves play their home games in Flin FlonCreighton and Thompson. Their nearest opponents? The Parkland Rangers, who are six hours away from Flin Flon in Grandview. Expenses for the Wolves pile up quickly as rented vans transport the boys and a rented trailerequipped truck hauls their equipment. Then there are the hotels and meals. Yet thanks in part to fundraisers and sponsorships, the Wolves have

persevered and will soon cap off their inaugural 36game regular season. Their on-ice success has been limited. They have just one win in 32 games heading into this weekend, when they play their ﬁnal two home games of the season. The Wolves’ record demands context, however, since other teams in the league have more talent to draw from by virtue of their populous geography. When the Wolves held tryouts last summer, 60 boys vied for roster spots, with one-third of them making the team. By contrast, Winton says, something like 50 goaltenders alone tried out for Winnipeg-based teams. The Wolves also have several ﬁrst-year Bantam players, whereas Winnipeg teams only accept the more experienced second-year players. And since the Wolves players are spread out be-

tween Flin Flon, The Pas, Thompson, Gillam and Churchill, they are able to hold few practices together. Winton looks beyond the Wolves’ record in assessing their success. “They’re having a good time and they’re learning a lot of skills,” she says. Wolves head coach Rob Bilawka says the bulk of his players see the team as an opportunity to eventually graduate to higher levels of hockey, such as the SJHL or MJHL. “As we move forward, they’re realizing that this isn’t minor hockey no more,” adds Bilawka. “It’s that step into that higher level.” The Wolves include four Flin Flon area players in Sean Yaworski, Tanner Dutcawich, Jonah Winton and Rylan Potkonjak. A dozen players are from Thompson, with the remainder residing in The Pas, Gillam and Churchill. While the Wolves entered

the season on a trial basis, Bilawka is very confident the team will be back next season. “They love it, they want us back,” he says of the league. For now the Wolves are looking not to next season, but to their final two-game home stand of this campaign, scheduled for this weekend at the Creighton Sportex. The Yellowhead Chiefs are in town tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 13 (6:30 pm) and again on Sunday, Feb. 14 (11 am). A small admission will be charged, with team officials encouraging fans to come out and show their support. Joining Winton and Bilawka behind the bench, or behind the scenes, are assistant coach and safety rep Rob Winton (Flin Flon), assistant coaches Shawn Skinner and Murray Nychyporuk (Thompson), and co-manager Tami Bobesko (Thompson).

You can install a sturdy bar toward the back of the closet and hang the bags by their handles, hooked onto the shower curtain rings.” -- T.I. in Michigan • Too much paper? Here is an idea to decrease what you store: First, look up the instruction manual for
