Recognition of heroes

Nickel Belt News photos courtesy of Shirley Linklater Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation chief and council recognized Doreen Ringrose and Sharla Murray at their general assembly Feb. 15 for the two women’s actions in June 2009 when they rescued a woman being assaulted near Riverside School in Thompson. Ringrose and Murray were walking home from dinner towards Ringrose’s home on Riverside Drive when they heard screams from the bush area behind the pumphouse. The two women called the RCMP and Murray directed police via her cell phone so they were able to apprehend a man ﬂeeing from the scene. Ringrose located the victim in the bush and stayed with her while waiting for emergency medical personnel to arrive on scene. Murray and Ringrose later visited the woman their actions had helped after she underwent lifesaving surgery.

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Down East musical marvel Mary Beth Carty brought her show to the Snow Lake Motor Inn on the evening of Friday, Feb. 10 and the 60 or so in attendance were not disappointed. Right from the opening salvos of her sound test, the toes were tapping and heads were bobbing, and this continued till the close of her second set around 11 p.m. An accomplished accordionist, Carty hails from Antigonish, Nova Scotia. She brings many of the songs from her Irish and Acadian roots to her show, and on this night, those songs along with her eastern brogue and wit endeared her to the numerous transplanted east-coasters in the audience. Not to say the same wasn’t true for the ﬂat-landers in the venue … there is something about a pretty girl who keeps time like Stompin’ Tom and squeezes an accordion like Katie McConnell that captivates everyone. Carty has a tremulous voice that lends well to her repertoire of Scottish, Irish and Quebecois tunes. In addition to playing the accordion, she plays the guitar, piano and is masterful with the “bones,” which are a musical folk instrument consisting of a pair of animal bones, or pieces of wood that are placed in the hand and have a sound reminiscent of

meetings between protagonists May – a young religious lady from Corbin, Kentucky and Raleigh – a young soldier from nearby Woodbine, Kentucky. May is just coming back from L.A. after breaking up with her “Flyer” fiancé, who she says has changed! She has plans to eventually become a missionary. Raleigh has just received a medical discharge from the service for what he describes as “fits.” He is unsure of his future, whether it is at home in Kentucky, in New York, or perhaps Detroit. The production is set in the 1940s and in the first act the two are travelling by train from Los Angeles to Kentucky/New York. With the only seat left on the train situated next to May, Raleigh asks to take it and strikes up a conversation with May. Thus begins a three-year, on-again, off-again relationship between the two. “Last Train to Nibroc” featured some witty dialogue, a few twists and a healthy helping of humour … the story of two people meant for each other shucking away their reasons for not being together, so that they eventually can. Once again, many thanks and much appreciation must go to the hardworking folks of the Aurora Borealis Arts Council for bringing the exceptional entertainment provided by the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre to our community!

Mary Beth Carty someone playing the spoons. The young singer songwriter went through her two sets of mostly original songs, but interspersed these with several polkas and an amazing version of Melanie’s 1971 classic, “Brand New Key,” all the while bantering with the audience and giving in-depth summaries and many times humorous background to her catalogue. The concert was brought to the Motor Inn via the Manitoba Home Routes concert series and others planned for the coming months are on March 11 when the performer will be Scott Nolan, who is an alt-country, contemporary folk, roots, singer-songwriter and storyteller, as well April 9 when Snow Lake will welcome Daniel Gervais, a master ﬁddler playing Canadiana. All shows have a $20 cover charge, which goes in its entirety to the musician. In other arts news, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre’s “Last Train to Nibroc” pulled into Snow Lake on Feb. 16, unloaded at the Lawrie Marsh Hall and its passengers took to their craft on a platform known as the Centennial Stage. Sixtythree people gathered in the hall to observe the highly touted performance; they all left agreeing the production’s praise had been warranted. The three-act, two-character play covers three tumultuous

New website, economic summit dates part of Look North strategy The provincial government announced the launch of a website and dates for three northern economic summits that are part of its Look North strategy Feb. 21. The website, intended to help people from outside Northern Manitoba learn more about the region and to encourage them to invest here by providing information on building a business, can be found at www.looknorthmb.ca. The government also announced that northern economic summits will be held in The Pas April 3-4, in Thompson April 4-5 and in Churchill April 5-6. “Whether businesses or

investors are looking to move or expand an existing business, have an idea they would like to develop into an entrepreneurial opportunity or wish to build a partnership that will result in economic development and job creation, we encourage them to ‘Look North’ and investigate the untapped potential of this vast region of Manitoba,” said Premier Brian Pallister in a press relase. “Look North is an ongoing and in-depth process that will continue to engage Manitobans as we create the environment necessary for the attraction of new businesses and the expansion of existing expertise,” said

Growth, Enterprise and Trade Minister Cliff Cullen. Thompson MLA Kelly Bindle announced the new phase of the Look North strategy in Thompson at the Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting. “There is much to love about this region and I am proud to be part of a team that recognizes all the north has to offer,” he said. The government highlighted several successful northern businesses in its press release, including the Salisbury House restaurant that opened in Norway House in May 2015 and now employs about 40 people, as well as Teekca’s Aboriginal Boutique and

Frontiers North Adventures. “The restaurant has been successful in bringing fresh food to Norway House and providing training and employment for the community.,” said Salisbury House of Canada Ltd. president and CEO Earl Barish. Teekca’s Aboriginal Boutique, established in Norway House Cree Nation in 1997 by CEO Marilyn TannerSpence of Waywayseecappo First Nation and Fox Lake Cree Nation Chief Walter Spence, now has stores in Thompson and The Forks that also offer gifts crafted by indigenous artists and artisans. “The ideas can start out small but can grow into

Encouraging investment in the north It was my pleasure to attend the recent 10th anniversary celebration of Northern Spirit Manor, and to thank the taxpayers and volunteers who made construction of this personal care home possible. It was also nice to recognize the hard work and dedication of the employees and volunteers who go out of their way to make the residents at this great facility feel at home. Last week at Community Futures/North Central Development, I also had the pleasure of presenting Entrepreneurship Manitoba’s Just Watch Me! Video Contest Certiﬁcate to winner Don Glenn for his inspiring video highlighting how he overcame barriers and started Shorty’s Upcycling Studio. With this enterprise, he artistically repurposes unwanted or discarded materials into beautiful furniture pieces. It was great to be part of Thompson’s 47th annual Munn Cup opening ceremony last weekend, and

MLA Report kelly.bindle.mla.office@gmail.com Kelly Bindle see the tradition continue with hockey teams from all over Northern Manitoba and Nunavut. These teams came to showcase their talents, enjoy the spirit of competition and create lasting memories. On Tuesday, I was pleased to attend a Thompson Chamber of Commerce luncheon where our Manitoba government announced the exciting second phase of our Look North strategy. It’s a plan for sustainable economic and business development and growth for Northern Manitoba, and it’s now taken a signiﬁcant step forward. We are encouraging businesses and investors from outside

the province’s north to consider investing in the region’s unlimited potential by developing entrepreneurial opportunities, opening businesses, expanding existing expertise or building partnerships leading to job creation and economic development. This phase of Look North involves the new website www.looknorthmb.ca that has information on building businesses in Northern Manitoba. We are encouraging Manitobans to share their vision and appreciation for the north through social media by submitting short videos or photographs, or in writing, and by using the hashtag #looknorthmb.

Our government will also hold three Northern Economic Summits in The Pas, Thompson and Churchill in the ﬁrst week of April, as well as other community roundtables throughout the province to discuss northern growth and development. This new stage of the Look North strategy is, as well, developing our government’s commitment to establish a renewed Duty to Consult framework that will foster a mutually respectful relationship with Manitoba’s Indigenous peoples. We will engage Indigenous communities in the creation of this framework.

something bigger,” said Tanner-Spence. “Through the Look North strategy, we hope that others will discover what we’ve known for more than 30 years, that the northern part of this province is full of opportunity,” said Frontiers North Adventures CEO John Gunter. A northern tourism strategy led by Travel Manitoba will contribute to the Look North strategy by focusing

on Northern Manitoba’s tourism potential. “Beyond the ‘bucket list’ experiences of polar bear viewing and beluga whale watching, we’re seeing greater demand for things like viewing the northern lights, remote ﬂy-in ﬁshing experiences and other authentic northern experiences, particularly in our international markets,” said Travel Manitoba president and CEO Colin Ferguson.
