Folklorama visits Wabowden school BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Summer Bear Dance Troupe, a Folklorama Teachings member group, were in Wabowden from June 4-5. During their time in the northern community, the group held workshops as well as a powwow at Mel Johnson School. Barbara Nepinak, founder and co-ordinator of the dance troupe, says it’s important to share their knowledge with the younger generation. “Some of these kids come from isolated communities, and don’t have the opportunity to see dancers and drummers. To have a setting like this, and engage them is perfect.” On June 4 Folklorama facilitated ﬁ ve different drumming workshops, which Tarance Campbell, a student at Mel Johnson School, said was his favourite part. “The workshops were awesome. I got to learn how to drum, and even to use the drum for a bit myself.” Campbell says it was great having the adults there teaching, since they don’t get to experience that often. Folklorama visited Wawbowden last year for their Grow North Conference, says Leona McIvor, school counsellor. Because of the positive feedback, they wanted them to come back again this year. “We get them to come up here because our kids need to learn their tradition and their culture. They’re interactive with the kids, they don’t leave anyone out and they’re very helpful. They

have a lot of knowledge and skills.” During the two days of workshops six other schools from Frontier School Division’s Area 1 attended. South Indian Lake, Lynn Lake, Leaf Rapids, Ilford, Thicket Portage and Gilliam took in both days, and Nelson House brought in 45 students for the ﬁrst day of workshops. Nepinak noted that children remembered her

from last year, and because those connections were made, it makes the whole experience even better for the troupe. During the ﬁnal afternoon the students piled into the gymnasium where all six members of Summer Bear Dance Troupe took part in a powwow. Nepinak was behind the microphone explaining the different types of dances to the students and Clifford Spence sang and played

the drums for the dancers. Chuck Spence, Candy Berthelet and Melissa Nepinak offered the students different types of traditional dances that happen during a powwow, and then the children even got to take part in some dancing. For Jonah Campbell that was his favourite part of the two days, watching the younger children get involved and dance like no one was watching. McIvor says they will be

asking Summer Bear Dance Troupe and Folklorama back again in 2016, but would like to add storytellers into the Grow North Conference as well. Nepinak finished the day off by thanking Folklorama for bringing them to Wabowden. “Being connected with Folklarama has broadened our horizons. We do a lot of our own bookings as well, but being a part of a multi culture group makes a big

difference nationally and internationally. They’re promoting culture and diversity.” Debra Zoerb, executive director of Folklorama, says that is what they try to do with every performance. “Our entire mandate is celebrating diversity and promoting cultural understanding. Any chance we have to be able to do that, and our member artists have the chance to do that, we’re thrilled.”

R.D. Parker Collegiate Graduation Special

Peacefully on Sunday, June 7, 2015, Donald Douglas McDonald, 78 years of age of Birtle, MB. Don was born in Birtle and grew up in Wattsview in the Assiniboine Valley. In 1960, Don met and married Joan McCall and began their life together. In 1969 Don moved his family to Thompson, MB where he worked as a miner for 26 years. Don and Joan loved to camp and ﬁsh at Paint Lake and proud of the fact that they were able to do that for 42 years in a row. For their retirement, Don and Joan moved back to Birtle to be closer to the farm in the Assiniboine Valley. Don’s favourite thing to do was to go to the valley with his family; gardening, hunting and ﬁshing. Don leaves to mourn his beloved wife of 55 years, Joan; his sons Wayne (Gwen), David (Sherrie), Murray (Graeme), Mike (Rhonda); his eight grandchildren and his seven great-grandchildren. As well, his brothers Dave (Jackie) of Thunder Bay, ON, Bill (Sharon) of Winnipeg, MB and his sisters Jean (Ad) of Richmond, BC, Shirley (Herb) of Dacotah, MB, Arla (Ray) of Langley, BC and their families. Don was predeceased by his father Edward, his mother Myrtle, Father-in-law Sidney McCall, Mother-in-law Verna McCall and grandson Tayson. As per Don’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family remembrance will occur at a later date. He will always be remembered and greatly missed.

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Marc Jackson “If I’ve learned anything from return engagements, it is that if people weren’t disappointed the ﬁrst time around, they come back!” Those words from Country Blend’s Henry Martens rang with truth on the afternoon of May 24. It was on that bright, sunny Sunday that Martens and his Country Blend cohorts cast a little of their own shine on close to 70 patrons in the Lawrie Marsh Community Hall. Many of the folks attending were at the group’s initial Snow Lake performance, a year prior in the same venue. As they found out then and again on this day, disappointment wasn’t a possibility … with the Blend’s brand of entertainment … you get what you come for. What that is of course, is strong and harmonic vocals from a couple of standout songstresses, a pianist that is classically trained and clinically faultless, a

drummer who keeps them all in tune and on task, and Martens himself, who plays bass, picks a ﬁne guitar, and rounds it all out with a voice in perfect key with the classics that ﬁll the band’s repertoire. Country Blend’s afternoon show was their last of a three-engagement swing through central Manitoba and Saskatchewan. They played Swan River, Carrot River and Snow Lake before riding their bus back to the more clement climes in the south of our province. Made up of Dianne Lodge, who farms south of Belmont, Manitoba; she sang lead and harmony, and played bass guitar; Evelyn Ramage who farms south of Manitou, Manitoba; she also sang lead and harmony; Gordy (Crazy Fingers) Lindquist, who lives near Bottineau, North Dakota and plays piano; Henry Martens, who lives in Baldur, Mani-

toba and sings lead, plays bass, and rhythm guitar, and Ken Lodge who farms south of Belmont, Manitoba, who plays double time on drums, while doing double duty as the group’s manager. The band’s show features the music Elvis Presley, Rita MacNeil, Patsy Cline, George Jones, Kitty Wells, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Jim Reeves, the Statler Brothers, Floyd Kramer, and Frank Mills. They play it all with a polish and tightness that their many shows together have honed. Lindquist is a master in front of his (actually our) piano and the ladies’ voices were also unmatched. This particularly showed while the group did Rita MacNeil’s “Working Man.” I looked up at Martens’ face while they sang. He shook his head and smiled broadly … and you could tell that after all the shows they have done together, he still marvels at their harmonies. As well as the musical craft the band provides, Martens is also a bit of a comic. He let go a number of zingers during the two set performance that had all in the venue in stitches. Additionally, both he and Lindquist play very well

Nelson House shed ﬁre that injured four children not caused by criminal act, say police BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A shed fire that injured four children in Nelson House June 6, sending three young girls to hospital in Winnipeg, started inside the shed and is not considered suspicious or criminal in nature, RCMP reported June 10. The precise cause of the fire is still being investigated. The girls – two aged six and one aged five – as well as a three-year-old boy, were injured in a fire in a storage shed

on the afternoon of June 6. Nelson House RCMP responded to a report of a shed fire at a residence around 3 p.m. and arrived to find the four children had been taken to the local nursing station for treatment of burns. The three girls were transported to Winnipeg for further treatment where one was listed in serious condition as of June 8. The boy was treated and released. Nelson House RCMP is investigating the cause of the fire with assistance from the Office of the Fire Commissioner.

off each other in their remarks, taking turns being the foil as the other sets up the laugh. The two-plus hour show was a return engagement that certainly requires more of the same … perhaps an even dozen … the crowd on this afternoon would most certainly be back. In conclusion, praise should also go out to the hard working folks at the Aurora Borealis Arts Council who once again proved they go above and beyond to bring the best of the arts to our little part of the north.

our leaders aren’t there. They aren’t working for the people. They may say they are, but we haven’t seen them do anything in the one year they’ve been in ofﬁce.” Kobliski says the community has been in turmoil recently, and people are calling her instead of Chief Marcel Moody. “When there’s turmoil in the community you can’t get a hold of them. Their phones are full of messages, and they’re not deleting them so you can’t leave more messages. We have a hard time contacting anyone, and people are calling me instead of the chief now. I’m not even a leader, but my home line, my cell phone and my husband’s cell phone are always ringing.” On June 1, Christina MacDonald Francois, a resident of Nelson House, received a letter of eviction to her house that she shared with her common-law husband Leo Spence. The letter it gave the family one day to leave, since someone else was moving in. The family had nowhere to go, and are now living on the streets, camping out with all their furniture. Kobliski thinks the community should have given her a backup place until she could ﬁnd a full time residence. “I went to look for [Marcel Moody] at his house when I was on my shift. He said she did it to herself, and he said he’d see her later. A few hours

later I went to where the family was, and the chief had never shown up.” Kobliski continued by saying it’s discrimination against the woman. “To say they won’t help her out because of the past with drinking, drugs and gangs is discrimination. That should not be happening here. I told chief and council, and housing that they can’t do that to people, regardless of their past. They need to help people get help.” Moody, however says there’s a process in place where the housing authority board takes a look at tenant’s history when it comes to renting a home in the community. He also explained that the house was allocated to Spence’s daughter in April, and the family knew for two months they would have to leave the residence. MacDonald Francois said through tears that she just wants a home so her family and grandchildren can come visit her. The mother said that the letter stated they made a verbal agreement that she would leave on a speciﬁc date at a meeting with chief and council and Manitoba Housing, but MacDonald Francois says she wasn’t at any meeting with the two. The community has now come together and so far has donated $3,500 towards building MacDonald Francois and her family a log home, which will be built on a lot, near where

the family is camping out now. Kobliski says MacDonald Francois isn’t the only family dealing with hard times in Nelson House. “I went one to a house and there’s 25 people in that house. This one girl has 10 kids and her house burnt down because of wiring, and now she’s in her sister’s house. It’s overcrowding, and people are getting sick in the houses.” The area of Bay Road is the worst, the band constable noted, saying whenever there’s an election the leaders will go to that area for votes, and never come through with their promises after they’re voted in. She continued by saying the houses are rundown, full of graffiti, floorboards are rotting, and there’s mould everywhere. “I’m disappointed and embarrassed by my leaders and the housing board.” Moody says it shouldn’t be a fight against chief and council, but it should be a fight against the government. “We’re trying to do our best, and there’s so many of our houses being destroyed. In terms of headway and building more houses for our people, it seems that we’re losing more housing than we’re gaining. People are burning down houses, destroying houses. At the end of the day we have to draw a line. If you don’t respect the house you’re living in there are consequences.”

Northwest Territories NDP MP Dennis Bevington’s opposition day motion to add 50 communities to the Nutrition North program, which subsidizes the transport of food to isolated northern communities, was defeated after being debated in the House of Commons last week. “Canadians living in remote regions pay approximately up to three times more than the national average for food,” said Bevington in a June 9 statement following the defeat of his motion. “A New Democrat-triggered auditor general report found that the Nutrition North program has had minimal impact on food costs; lacked transparency or accountability; and that over 50 communities that should be receiving subsidies under the program are being left out. The sad reality is that Nutrition North has failed northerners, many of whom have had to scav-

enge in dumps just to get something to eat.” The motion called on the government to comprehensively review the Nutrition North program with northerners as full partners and create equitable programeligibility criteria for inclusion of communities in addition to adding the 50 communities. Speaking on the motion in the House of Commons June 4, Churchill NDP MP Niki Ashton asked the government to increase its efforts to address food prices and insecurity in the north the way some of her constituents have. “I think of the work that’s being done currently in Garden Hill by Darcy Wood and Sean Loney, working with local young people, people in Garden Hill, to be able to establish community gardens. I think of the work of Diane Delaronde-Colombe in Wabowden who for years has been working to establish greenhouses and raise chickens on a small scale in

communities in our north,” said Ashton. “I stand in this house to ask this government to stop taking the north for granted. Stop using northerners for photo ops. I ask them to respect the north and stand with northerners to put an end to the food insecurity they and we face.” Ashton pointed out that the most northerly First Nation in Manitoba – Tadoule Lake – was not a part of the Nutrition North program and that food costs there are unacceptably high. “That verges on criminal,” said the Churchill MP. “You’re expecting people that live in abject poverty, people who struggle every day to be able ﬁnd almost $15 for something as basic as milk that you can ﬁnd for a couple of dollars here? It’s so critical that this government acknowledge its neglect of northern people, of northern indigenous communities and start immediately by including the excluded communities and

reviewing nutrition north and ﬁnally working with northerners to bring a solution to this dire problem.” Ryan Leef, Conservative MP for Yukon, said Nutrition North is just one tool the federal government is using to improve food security in the north, noting that he was in his home community of Old Crow recently for the opening of a co-operative grocery store, the establishment of which was supported by the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, a creation of the Conservative government. “I saw a store that had products in it that were far cheaper than in the past,” said Leef. “I saw a program and service delivery that our government is vested in that’s working, that the community was there to celebrate. They see the real and tangible results of programs that are working, not one in a vacuum, like the Nutrition North program, but a whole suite of programs.”

Book delves deep into Manitoba’s past BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

You may know Manitoba well but if you really want to go beyond scratching the surface and understand how the province came to be the way it is today, with its mix of prairies, innumerable lakes and mineral deposits, In Search of Canada’s Ancient Heartland is a good place to start. Published by Winnipegbased Heartland Associates Inc. and printed in Altona, In Search of Canada’s Ancient Heartland is Manitoban right down to its authors – Barbara Huck and Doug Whiteway, who also wrote Northern Lights: Arnold & Gail Morberg and the Calm Air Story with Frances Russell. But this time instead of tales from the skies

are underneath much of Northern Manitoba, including the Flin Flon Greenstone Belt and the Thompson Nickel Belt. Among the interesting facts revealed in the book, which is part scientiﬁc exploration and part travel guide, are that Churchill, now known for polar bears and beluga whales, was also the site where the world’s largest fossil of a trilobite – a marine arthropod animal species that ﬁrst appeared more than 500 million years ago – was found in 1998. Manitoba’s northern port area has also yielded evidence of inhabitants dating back nearly 4,000 years – the Pre-Dorset people. Liberally illustrated with photos and maps of all of Manitoba’s geological regions, In Search of

above Northern Manitoba, the book tells the story of the province’s varied geology as well as of the people and animals who previously called it home. Divided into six sections covering eastern Manitoba, the Trans-Canada Highway region, the Red Coat Trail, the prairie lakes and Interlake as well as the western mountains and Northern Manitoba, In Search of Canada’s Ancient Heartland covers many areas and topics familiar and of interest to Thompsonites and other northerners, with sections on Clearwater Lake and its caves, the Grass River, the Karst Spring Trail, Churchill’s antiquities and the Trans-Hudson Orogen, an ancient mountain range long since eroded, the foundations of which

Canada’s Ancient Heartland reveals the turbulent past of Canada’s keystone province in such a way that any resident with the will to do so can get out on the road – or train, or canoe route – to uncover the evidence of its ancient origins themselves, or from the comfort of their armchair.

Bill C-51 rammed through MP Report Ashton.N@parl.gc.ca

Niki Ashton

Despite overwhelming opposition from Canadians and evidence from experts that C-51 is dangerous and fails to make Canadians any safer, the unaccountable and unelected Senate passed the bill earlier this week without a second thought. Thousands of Canadians protested this bill because it will erode our rights and freedoms.

Terrorism is a very real threat, but there can be no tradeoff between public safety and our civil liberties. It’s shameful that the Senate gave in to fear and division instead of standing up and defending Canadian values. Numerous experts have criticized Bill C-51 as dangerous and ineffective, including four former prime

ministers, the Canadian Bar Association and a group of over 100 academics and 60 business people. This legislation lacks important monitoring and surveillance measures and is deliberately vague. As usual the Harper government put playing politics instead of standing up for what’s right. Canadians deserve better.

Bill implements job Gutsy Walk creation measures MLA Report ashton@mts.net Steve Ashton Legislation implementing the provisions of Budget 2015 that would help create jobs, grow the Manitoba economy and protect key services for Manitoba families has been introduced in the Legislature. The budget outlines a plan that invests in our province’s future and strengthens job opportunities for Manitobans now. Budget 2015 builds on this plan by focusing on investments in infrastructure and skills, protecting the services families rely on, such as health care and child care, and ensuring a strong future for all Manitobans. The proposed legislation would also include provisions to enhance tax credits or rebates worth $56.4 million in

additional tax savings for: • senior homeowners paying school taxes; • volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers; • primary caregivers; • investors in community enterprises and small business ventures; • corporations investing in research and development; • businesses installing biomass-fuel energy equipment; • small businesses; and • employers of youth trainees including high school vocational co-op students, high school apprentices and graduates. Our record on job creation is the best in the

country, but there is always more we can do to support businesses as they work to create more jobs and grow our economy. We will continue to focus on making our province attractive to companies looking for opportunities. The proposed bill also includes provisions that would support Manitoba families by raising Rent Assist to 75 per cent of median market rent, starting July 1. The full implementation of Rent Assist would be completed Dec. 1. Tax reductions introduced since 1999 will save Manitobans $542 million in personal income taxes, $358 million in property taxes and $446 million in business taxes in 2015. Our balanced approach to strengthening the economy is working. Our GDP has more than doubled since 1999 and our economic record is strong. Budget 2015 will make a real difference for people right here in the North and across the province.

KEEP THOMPSON GREEN & CLEAN!

We go through our daily life, events, celebrating days, and years, sometimes not even knowing how and what we are celebrating, a celebration of God through his Spirit. The New Testament reading regarding Pentecost in Acts 2: 1-21, tells us that there were numerous and a variety of different cultures and languages of people who heard and understood the message of the disciples. In the indigenous teachings we learn that God is a spirit and works in each and every one of us, leading us to live a wholesome, respectful, worthy, spiritual life. The Spirit of God is within all of us and works with each and every one of us to make our life here on Earth a spiritual and worthwhile experience. Pentecost falls on the 10th day after Ascension Thursday (which falls 40 days after Easter). Seven weeks after the resurrection of Jesus, during the Jewish celebration of Shavuot/Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon His first followers, thus empowering them for their mission and gathering them together as a church. This New Testament event emphasizes direct personal experience with God, it is the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. When celebrating a birthday, we celebrate Pentecost, by lighting candles on a cake. The candle flames represent the tongues of flames that were experienced at that time with the disciples. The blowing of the candles represent the breath of God that spread the flames of fire as the Holy Spirit was poured out upon his first followers. The flame from a celebration candle, whether it be church or at other events, represents the Spirit of God, a reminder that God is present in all that we do. The wind moves pinwheels, kites, pennants, and bubbles like the rush of a violent wind filled the house where the disciples were gathered on Pentecost. Today that same spirit works in us through the Spirit of God to help share the good news of Jesus Christ. As the morning comes, we celebrate that we have another day coming, all through the day we celebrate the Great Spirit (Holy Spirit) with all that we have, the food, the children, the animals and all of creation. We are taught that the Spirit of God is with us no matter where we go and every time we pray, we know that through the Great Spirit, God is closer to us than breathing, nearer than hands or feet. The Spirit is among us, around us and within us. We light a sacred fire to represent that God, through His spirit, is always at the centre of all celebrations. Through the Great Spirit in our hearts the Lord (Creator God, Jesus, Savior, Messiah, Yahweh...) can speak to us face-to-face, one-on-one as one speaks to a friend. The “wind,” “spirit,” or “breath:” Just as the wind or our breath activates the movement of a pinwheel,
