Nelson House nurses still on strike BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
It’s been more than two months and five nurses from Nischawayasihk Personal Care Home in Nisichwayasihk Cree Nation are still fighting for higher pay. The nurses started a picket line on May 11 and Sandi Mowat, President of the Manitoba Nurses Union says since it’s been over 60 days the union has the right to go to the labour board, and request they impose a collective agreement, since both parties can’t agree. “The next step is that the labour board looks at it, and once
they accept the application they notify the parties, and they determine that you’re at an impasse, which will not be a problem, because both parties have agreed that, and they will decide a hearing date,” explained Mowat. The rural nurses startd the strike because they’re being paid less than other nurses in Manitoba. Mowat continued by saying since nurses are an essential service, they negotiated a essential services agreement prior to the collective agreement expiring. With this agreement, nurses are still being paid, and doing essen-
tial duties, but nothing further. “The nurses are making sure medication is given, and treatments. But all the things nurses do, that are related to resident care, but aren’t direct resident care, that is deemed to be nonessential, those nurses are not doing them. Those include ordering supplies, making sure supplies are in, processing doctors’ orders, making agreements for transfers and tests, things like that.” For now, it’s a waiting game for the nurses. Once the hearing date is confirmed, nurses will go back to work.
Churchill NDP MP Niki Ashton wants Canada Post to reconsider its plans, announced late last week and early this week, to end door-to-door mail delivery in Flin Flon and Thompson beginning in 2016. “Hundreds of people in Flin Flon and Thompson have spoken out in favour of home delivery,” said Ashton in a July 21 press release. “This is a critical service to our northern communities and we won’t stand by and let this happen.” Canada Post informed municipal officials and affected employees in Thompson July 20 that home delivery to 3,394 addresses in the city would be phased out beginning in 2016. “This is part of a five-year initiative to convert one-third of Canadian addresses who still have delivery at the door to community mailboxes in an effort to secure postal service for the future,” said John Caines of Canada Post’s media relation department in an email. “Since the program began in 2014, more than one million addresses have been or are in the various stages of the conversion process.” Caines said no regular full- or part-time employees will lose their jobs as a result of the conversion and that Canada Post aims to reduce its workforce by not replacing workers who retire. Canada Post says the service change is a result of less mail being sent. CUPW national president Mike Palecek told the Nickel Belt News that the conversion to a community mailbox system is completely unnecessary, since Canada Post is a profitable Crown corporation that made $200 million last year and doesn’t cost taxpayers a dime. “It seems to be ideologically driven,” said Palecek, noting
that other countries faced the same challenges as Canada but have opted to expand services to bring in revenue rather than cut home delivery. Postal banking is an example of the kind of services Canada Post should be looking at getting into, he said. Palecek was in Quebec City on a cross-country tour protesting postal service cuts and says nearly 600 municipalities have passed resolutions or sent letters asking that door-to-door mail delivery continue, while opposition parties are calling for the plans to be halted or scrapped altogether. “We’ve had an outpouring of support so far [on the tour] and this is no surprise,” said Palecek. “Canadians are facing a clear choice on Oct. 19. They can change this if they want and they can do that in 90 days when we go to the polls.” The City of Thompson communications officer Dawn Sands emailed a statement July 21 saying the city was disappointed in the direction Canada Post has taken to move from door-todoor mail delivery to community mailboxes. “We will continue to work with Canada Post on this issue and discuss how the implementation of their new system will affect our residents, especially our seniors, elders and those with disabilities,” the statement concluded. Ashton said the NDP is committed to reinstating home mail delivery if elected government. “Home delivery is a key service for seniors, people living with disabilities and for families in Flin Flon and Thompson,” said Ashton. “We will fight to keep it. My message to Canada Post and the federal government is hold off on cancelling home delivery because if the NDP is elected government in October we will save home delivery in Thompson, Flin Flon and across Canada.”

Photovoice exhibit at Brandon University displays aboriginal youth perspectives BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Photographs by aboriginal youth from around the province, including junior chiefs, graduate students and youth representatives from the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) and Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) were on display at Brandon University (BU) July 21-24 as part of Success through Our Eyes: A Photovoice Exhibit. Part of a project to tell the story of First Nations, Métis and Inuit young people in Manitoba, the photovoice project – which provides participants with cameras to document community issues they feel strongly about – enables youth to provide their own ideas about how communities can help youth achieve educational success and
demonstrate leadership. “The photos in this display are important messages from aboriginal youth who are graduate students and youth leaders from across Manitoba,” said Dr. Karen Rempel, director of BU’s Centre for Aboriginal and Rural Education Studies and principal investigator of the Vital Outcome Indicators for Community Engagement (VOICE) research project. “We are using them to start conversations and put forward concrete ideas about how to achieve educational success and develop future leaders.” The display is part of the youth program at the National Association of Friendship Centres 44th Annual General Assembly in Brandon July 21-24 and the images it includes will
be used by Rempel and fellow BU researcher Dr. Chris Brown and exhibit curator Kathy Moscou to prepare a policy paper on youth leadership with a team of aboriginal graduate students and youth leaders. “The photovoice project is an inspiring way to give ‘visual voice’ to young aboriginal leaders as they reflect on what leadership and success means to them,” said Dr. Heather Duncan, BU’s acting academic vice-president and provost, and Dean of Education. “Communication in this way, which involves biography, art and storytelling, is a powerful tool to communicate their knowledge and concerns to not only the broader community but also to government and policy makers as they plan for the future.”
22 First Nations will now have pharmacy support BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Muskehki Pharmacy Distributors LP (Muskehki Pharmacy) announced on July 20 that the company was awarded with a one-year contract by Health Canada to provide pharmacy support services, as well as medical supplies to 22 northern Manitoba First Nations. Starting in August, Muskehki Pharmacy will provide these standard medical needs to nursing stations. Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) Grand Chief David Harper says this has been a long time coming and he is excited for the opportunity it will bring. “It opens up the doors for more pharmacists and for more work. At the end of the day someone has to deliver the medicine, someone has to be at the counter, educating the First Nations. This is what is key for the whole process. It’s run and owned by First Nations.” Harper continued by saying that it’s been a group effort from all chiefs. Muskehki Pharmacy is a health partnership owned by Wabung Developments Ltd, the economic development entity of the MKO and North West Company Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of Winnipeg-based The North West Company Inc.
President of Wabung Developments and Muskehki Pharmacy, Chief Irvin Sinclair says the contract is for one year because it’s a probation period, but hopes the contract gets pushed to the maximum length of three years. “This is a probationary period and we want to show how competent we are and professionalism that is requires. We are more than equipped and ready to take this program on, and show Health Canada that we are more than capable of handling our own affairs. Derek Reimer, director of business development for Muskehki Pharmacy and North West, noted that the partnership with MKO started in 2010.“Basically the partnership relates to health businesses and our focus primarily was on trying to secure the pharmacy contract for Northern Manitoba nursing stations.” Reimer finished off by saying this partnership will help everyone involved focus on employment, training and capacity-building for First Nation communities. Harper hopes with starting this partnership other communities in Ontario and Saskatchewan will see the success, and achieve something along the same lines in their communities.
More Northern Manitoba roadwork in progress BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Improvements to Provincial Road 280, Provincial Road 290 and Provincial Road 327 to Easterville are among the highways projects that began last week, the provincial government says. The work on PR 280 from PR 290 to Gillam includes continuing base course on 30 kilometres of the highway, a $2.2 million project being performed by Strilkiwski Contracting Ltd. that is expected to continue until September, weather permitting, and create an estimated 24 jobs.
Strilkiwski Contracting Ltd. is also undertaking the continuing base course of 20 kilometres of PR 290 from PR 280 to Limestone, which is expected to be finished by September, depending on the weather, and to create an estimated 22 jobs and cost $2 million. The third project that Strilkiwski Constracting Ltd. began last week is the paving of 21 kilometres of PR 327 from Provincial Trunk Highway 60 to Easterville. This $4.5 million project is estimated to create 51 jobs and be completed by the end of autumn, weather permitting.

Missing Split Lake man target of Thompson searches BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
A group of residents from Split Lake gathered in Thompson July 21 to start a group search and rescue effort for Raymond Flett, a 58-year-old man from Split Lake. The RCMP in Thompson were contacted on July 17 about Flett going missing in Thompson, and have been actively looking for the man. RCMP have been in contact with the homeless shelter, as well as relatives in the area, and have been on patrol daily looking for Flett. Flett is an aboriginal male with grey hair, around 190 pounds, and six feet tall. He was last seen wear-
ing a grey t-shirt, and navy pants with strings. Flett has an eagle tattoo on his left hand, and on his left arm there is a tattoo of the letter M. RCMP say Flett has been known to visit Nelson House as well as Norway House, and they have not had any leads about him being in Thompson. Family and friends of Flett gathered at the Keewatin Tribal Council offices in Thompson and are conducting group searches for the next few days in hopes of finding the missing man. Anyone with any information on Flett’s whereabouts is asked to call Thompson RCMP at 204677-6909.

Opportunities North consultation process will be steered by former Thompsonite Gord Wakeling BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Former Thompson resident and former CEO of the Communities Economic Development Fund (CEDF) Gord Wakeling has been hired by the provincial government to facilitate Opportunities North, a series of consultations to develop a comprehensive strategy for economic development in Manitoba’s north, Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Minister Eric Robinson announced in Churchill July 22 while attending the annual general meeting of the Hudson’s Bay Route Association. “Our government is committed to economic growth, infrastructure and job creation for the north, which we recognize as a region that holds huge opportunity,” said Robinson in a press release. “The Opportunities North framework will ensure Manitobans
have an avenue to share their vision for a sustainable and prosperous future. I invite all northern Manitobans to engage with this process.” View on how development should occur in Northern Manitoba will be solicited from mayors, regional chiefs, Métis and Northern Association of Community Councils representatives, as well as other northern leaders and residents, with a focus on economic diversity, sustainability, alignment with indigenous and northern community values and reducing economic disparity. In addition to regional and community forums, ideas will also be accepted through online survey forms, email and phone messages, with Opportunities North following up with people requesting the opportunity to provide input when possible. Rob-
inson said results of consultations will be made public as the process moves forward. “This represents a new stage in northern development, building on the past strategies but enhanced by regional consultation,” said Churchill Mayor Michael Spence. “Residents of Churchill, like other northern communities, will benefit from getting involved in this process.” The provincial government says Opportunities North builds on the Northern Development Strategy, initiated in 2000, which it credits as the foundation underlying projects such as the Churchill Marine Observatory, the Hudson Bay Regional Roundtable, the Northern Mining Academy in Flin Flon, the establishment of University College of the North, new northern CancerCare hubs, the Wuskatim and Keeyask gen-
erating stations, and the East Side Road Transportation initiative, as well as improvements to Northern Manitoba roads, highway, hospitals and personal care homes. “Northern Manitoba is home to a young and growing population, and we are at the start of an unprecedented level of investment and development,” said Robinson. “This is the time to ensure long-term projects are sustainable, respectful to the environment and have a lasting impact on our future.” Information about upcoming consultations and feedback opportunities will be available at http://www. steadygrowth.ca/english/ opportunitiesnorth/ or by calling 1-800-282-8069 ext. 5236. The results of the consultation process are due to be reported to government by the end of this year.

Journalist from Oxford House hoping to step into MKO grand chief role BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Sheila North Wilson is making the switch from broadcasting to running for Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) grand chief. North Wilson, originally from Bunibonibee Cree Nation, moved to Winnipeg when she was 15 to further her education. Two children and a husband later, her broadcasting career took off. In the beginning she worked for NCI Radio as a Cree radio announcer, then moved to CBC, then to the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) to work as the chief communications officer, before eventually landing at CTV. In the past, the Oxford House native has been asked to run for chief or other positions, but never felt ready enough until now. “I feel like now that I know the issues. I’ve known them since I was a little girl growing up in Oxford House, heard about them, lived through them all my life. Now I
feel obligated in any way I can to address the concerns and find some of the opportunities that are out there.” When asked what her priorities would be if elected as grand chief, North Wilson had a handful. “Housing, poverty, poor health, and of course we will work with our chiefs up there to get people in the government and policy-makers at the table to start addressing these issues that are ongoing.” She also noted the implementation of treaties that were previously broken, and how she’d like to continue work with lands and resources and work on justice issues, including missing and murdered indigenous women. North Wilson’s slogan is “supporting collective solutions for our north,” and she believes it’s time a woman runs the show. “The people behind me are saying it’s time for a woman to lead, because it’s the women that did all the planning, and the organizing in the home and

Orebodies and mitre cuts Many things make a mine; it is a feat in co-operation and consultation. A mine takes centuries to find, decades to develop, and years of thought and labour to coax reward from the ground. Many matters conspire against it … others ease its passage. However, above all else, the knowledge and precision of pioneers ensures that the job is done right and the open minds and acceptance of those who carry on makes certain it continues. Darren (Zeke) Simms knows this only too well. As a geologist, he learned his trade at drill sites, drafting tables and in the core shacks of men who for their entire working career found mines that fed the plant in Flin Flon. Legends like Jerry Kitzler and Frank Bill, but also men who played an auxiliary role … a part that reduced and hastened the work of mine finders. One such man was Jim Pockett, a Snow Lake carpenter, who plied his trade with HBM&S. Simms who just may have been a carpenter in another life - says that he thinks of Pockett often … particularly when he is building something and it comes to making a saw cut. You see, Pockett taught Simms the only thing he’d ever have to know about mitre cuts – they are functional! Simms recently took time to reminisce about Pockett’s influence and artistry when Hudbay’s Geology Department donated two sets of geological sawhorses or “corehorses” to the Snow Lake Mining Museum. “There have been three orebodies, several zones/ deposits (that require further testing), and countless anomalies over Jimmy Pockett’s sawhorses. This amounted to tons of rock and core boxes,” said Simms in an interview that took place at his Wekusko Falls camp site. “Just like Secretariat, they have earned their pasture … they could hold more, but they have earned the museum.” Geology sawhorses are similar to regular sawhorses, with one crucial difference. They have slanted tops, so that core samples can be better viewed and worked on. Simms says that one
Marc Jackson
My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com set of the donated horses will hold core that kids visiting the museum can handle and learn with; another will be set up to display either a copper/ gold intercept, or possibly even a piece of the Lalor Discovery Hole. There is a third set, but it will remain at Lalor and serve as the base for Simms’ drafting desk. He says they will serve as good luck, as well as fit in nicely with his surroundings. “I started with these horses… I’ll end with them,” Simms said. Shortly after passing the donation on to the museum, Simms came in and attached brass tags to the top of one corehorse, noting the mines they have held and the initials of the geos who spotted the discovery holes. There is also a date – March 3, 1989 – hand-routered into one horse that coincidently is Simms’ sister’s birthday. He said it came up in the conversation the day Pockett finished the project and Jim freehanded it into one before they were loaded on the truck. “He told me to get the *#@% out and go find another orebody,” said Simms of Pockett’s farewell to him as he left the carpentry shop with the horses. “We found two!” It is amazing how a simple thing like a sawhorse can spawn an interesting story and a bit of history, but that is exactly what the horses Jim built have done. During that visit to Simms’ campsite, he explained how they were commissioned. Simms says that back in 1989, the company was adding drills to continue delineating the Chisel North orebody, which was found before Simms started with Hudbay. He was sent from his position in Flin Flon over to Snow
Lake for two weeks in order to get some drill experience with Jerry Kitzler. “I stayed for seven years and another orebody – Photo Lake,” he joked. During that period, the local geology department witnessed a huge technological advance. Part of it was the acquisition of a used 24-foot ATCO trailer placed on their site near the gate at the present day Snow Lake Mine property. Simms said that it was expansive compared to what they were used to and had enough room to set up three sets of core laden sawhorses. Zeke says he liked sawhorses as opposed to permanent tables because they are mobile and easily transported. “A person can clean under them, set them up in a tent or outside, or if in a bush camp core shack; they can easily be placed outside and the room can be used as sleeping quarters, you know … in a pinch, say at 3 a.m. when it’s -40!” Back in ‘89, the department was using several sawhorses that Simms had constructed for use in the bush, but they required more and were too busy with drills to take the time to make them. “So the chief told me to walk over to the carpenter shop and talk to Jim Pockett,” Simms recalled. When Simms explained to Pockett what it was he was looking for, the carpenter just raised one eyebrow, exclaiming, “A slanted sawhorse, what the hell is that?” He accompanied Simms back to the coreshack to get measurements and see what he was talking about. “My design was all 2” x 4” with 1” x 4” bracing, using those cheap metal brackets,” said Simms describing his own corehorses. “To slant them, I just cut down the front legs. Well, Jimmy looked them over, did some pushing and pulling, and then measured them. You know, everyone fancies themselves a carpenter until their work is checked by a carpenter. But he didn’t laugh or berate me, just said, ‘these will hold fine, but do you know what a mitre cut is?’ I do now! Anyway, off he went saying, ‘Come see me tomorrow.’ You know, not three weeks from now, not send me an email … see me to-

Inset: Brass tags denoting ore bodies situated on them over the years. morrow at 10 a.m. This wasn’t a small feat for him; he had several projects on the go in the shop, but obviously three sets of sawhorses didn’t faze this guy … it took several days for me (to build the ones Pockett measured). “So the next day, I go to the shop at 10 a.m. as I was told by the ‘greyhaired guy’. Like Jerry (Kitzler) or Frank (Bill), you just listened to the (seasoned) grey-haired guys. I was all of 23-24 and one year in the biz … I was just happy they were talking to me! Well, what I saw standing there before me were three sets of carpentry magic made of the cleanest fir I had ever seen. Each a perfect clone of the other. Instead of 2” x 4”, the tops were angled heavy timber. All the ma-
terial was handpicked; built to the task and to last. He hadn’t used my design, but the height and angle was exact to what I had built … he had taken those measurements in less than 30 seconds the day before. I think he was slightly impressed that I knew that he’d used fir. I told him that I had worked all my high school years at a lumberyard in Flin Flon. He said, ‘Good, you should be okay to load the lumber then.’ He helped me load them and that was when he scribed my sister’s birthdate on the last one.” Simms says that Jim Pockett built things with pride and he is convinced that trait and not the almighty dollar is what drove him to the artistry he achieved. “I see his
handiwork in lots of the fir office furniture – or I like to think it’s his or that of other Hudbay carpenters,” said Simms. “All the old-timers were cut from the same cloth. At the end of the day, it isn’t money that will make us happy. We have to enjoy what we do … have passion … have pride. Then the work – well, then it isn’t a four-letter word to hate!” Simms - now the “greyhaired” guy – says that attitude still exists. “All of our latest sawhorses, like 50 sets for our four drill, ‘ramp up’ at Lalor are glued, screwed, and mitered with precision,” he said. “Jimmy, I’m sure, would have been proud of his boys … it’s all about orebodies and mitre cuts!”

God has an orientation change ready for each of us o¡ri¡en¡ta¡tion ËŒĂ´rÄ“É™nˈtÄ SH(É™)n/ Noun DeďŹ nition: the determination of the relative position of something or someone (especially oneself). This is an interesting question and in regards to each one of us makes us think of, at least, a few things. When you think of the word perhaps you think of starting a new job or school and the orientation process. When I Googled “most common uses of the word orientationâ€? what popped up included pages about art and word processor page orientation, grammar and dictionary pages and some pages about sexual orientation. In all these concepts about orientation the things that struck me were the questions of, “Does our orientation matter?â€? and, “What can we do about our orientation?â€? If you have read my articles before you know we will get to what the Bible says about the subject but follow my logic a bit ďŹ rst. If our personal orientation is the determination of the relative position or ourselves to others and other things then I think there is an easy answer to the question, “Does our orientation matter?â€? If we are in front of a moving train, as opposed to 10 metres beside it then we NEED to move, and quickly! If we
Spiritual Thoughts generaldirector.mcl@gmail.com Morgan Serger are caught in a lie relative to the truth then we NEED to deal with this orientation. If we are born with an orientation towards selďŹ shness and theft or a tendency towards any number of wrong things it is not enough to just say, “You can’t ask me to change because I was born with this orientation.â€? The question of our orientation is not a neutral one. The Bible tells us in the book of Romans Chapter 3 Verse 23 that “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,â€? and this is again both a truth and makes perfect sense. Can anyone of us say that we have never done anything wrong? We are born with an orientation towards selďŹ shness and sin because of our shared heritage. We are all one family that needs to be brought up out of our sinful orientation both in general and in each speciďŹ c area of our lives. There is a lot of talk in our society about how we have a right to this orientation or that orientation. The reality is that although we do
have that right because God has given us the right to do as we please, there are consequences to our choices and no matter how we are born we always have a choice to change our orientation. We are all oriented away from God though He calls to us to turn to him and though “the wages of sin is death the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.� (Romans 6:23) What can we do about our orientation? We can cast all our cares, our orientations, our hurt on God for He cares for each and every one of us. (see 1 Peter 5:7) because “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them,� (Ephesians 2:10) from the Bible. We are born with an orientation but God loves us and has an orientation change ready for each one of us that we may walk the way to Life!

Another record highway construction season It is that time of year. Construction season. Last year was a record construction season. We had one of the biggest year-over-year increases in highways construction in our province’s history. All throughout the province, we are well on our way to another record construction season this year. It is part of our five-year, $5.5-billion investment in core infrastructure. Here in the North there is major construction on Highways #6, #10,
MLA Report ashton@mts.net Steve Ashton #280, #373, #374 and #39. We are also moving to continue to expand all-weather access. The investment is important for two reasons. It is important to continue to invest in core
infrastructure to improve transportation access. It is also important for the economy. Our investment in core infrastructure is one of the reasons
our economy is projected to have the highest economic growth rate in the country. Our commitment this year is part of our overall plan that will ensure continued investment in infrastructure year after year. When it comes to investing in our highways and core infrastructure, my message as Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation is clear. Much accomplished, more to do.
