SUMMER CLEARANCE EVENT
BY MOLLY GIBSON [email protected]
The Paint Lake initial attack forest fire fighters have had a steady summer says Shauna Kortz, Fire Control Officer for Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship.
“It’s started out as a busy fire season in the south. We sent our crews down there, and once it slowed down there they came back to Paint Lake, and then things started to heat up in June and July. We got quite busy all over the province, and then it quieted right own in August,” Kortz went on to explain.
There are 30 crewmembers
stationed at Paint Lake Provin-cial Park, as well as two helitech officers. The officers sit in the passenger seat of the helicopter and assist with telling the pilot where to go, and instructing the firefighters what to do with that specific fire.
As of Aug. 21 five crews were out fighting a fire, and in the Northeast region, which con-sists of Paint Lake, Norway House, Cross Lake, Indian Lake and Pukatagwagon. Currently there were 13 fires. Nine of the fires were limited actioned fires, with two being out of con-trol, and one under control, and six being watched. There were
also four no action fires.This year to date (Aug.21)
there has been 206 fires in the region, and 193 have been put out. Lightening caused 147 of them, and 59 of them have been caused by humans.
Contracts start for the fire-fighters at the end of April, beginning of May, and usually run until the middle of August. Kortz says some have now been extended because of the current fires, and will go until Sept. 11.
This summer crews from Wis-consin came to help Paint Lake because crew members work for 24 days, and once they hit the maximum, they take days
off. Kortz says having the other crews come into town will give the Paint Lake firefighters a break to refresh themselves be-fore go out for the next fire.
When the crews are not fight-ing fires they’re doing Fire Smart work in the park, which consists of removing dead trees. As well they visit schools to teach fire prevention with Smokey the Bear, as well this year they made a float for the Nickel Day Parade.
The position at Paint Lake is a recallable position, and mem-bers will return next spring to Paint Lake for another summer of fighting fires.
More than 200 forest fi res this year in the Northeast region

The Waste Disposal Grounds was transferred to the City of Thompson on Aug. 1, but hadn’t been added to the 2015 fee and fi ne schedule to incorporate the fees for the grounds. During the Aug. 17, regular meet-ing of council a resolution was brought forwarded to add the grounds to the schedule.
“To my understanding
we’re just adding this as part of our fee and fi ne schedule. We haven’t re-viewed prior to adding it, but I’m assuming that it will be reviewed at the timer we review all our fee and fi nes,” Coun. Kolada, who moved the resolution noted.
City Manager Gary Cep-petelli agreed saying the fees would be reviewed during annual review.
Coun. Matechuk came forward with a proposed
amendment to include the word interim in the reso-lution to read “Now there-fore it be resolved that council amend the City of Thompson’s 2015 Fee and Fine Schedule to incorpor-ate the fees for the waste disposal grounds on an interim basis.”
Matechuk explained he’d like to see the word interim because the fees have not yet been looked at, Kolada agreed. “I think we can add it on
an interm basis until they are reviewed at the regular budget variation meeting. We’re adding these, they aren’t cur-rently on our fee sched-ule. We’re adding them on a basis that they will be reviewed at that time.”
During the amend-ment vote Coun. Foley was the only councilor in opposition, which was the same during the full resolution as well.

A year and a half ago the Thompson CIBC start-ed a used book sale during branch hours to help raise money for the CIBC Run for the Cure. Chris Fritz says they raised $1,500 and de-cided they wanted to keep the book sale going, even when they weren’t raising funds for the run.
After discussions CIBC staff picked the Thomp-son Humane Society, and $600 from the sales went to the organization. After the humane society Fritz says they decided to pick the Thompson Boys and Girls Club, which ended up receiving a cheque for $800.
Just when the bank was going to go back to raising funds for Run for the Cure, a family came in asking for help, and that’s when Fritz fi gured out that they’d be raising money for the next six months for these two 12 year-olds.
William and Jemiha Hart are twins from Thompson who have been chosen for Team Manitoba for the
Special Olympics in Corner Book Newfoundland next March. The twins competed in their fi rst Special Olym-pics last March in Winnipeg. William fi gured skated in the men’s level two event, and fi nished with a gold, while Jemiha competed in
the snowshoe event and fi nished with two gold, one silver and one bronze.
The money raised will go towards getting the two athletes across the coun-try for the event, as well as pre training. The two are also looking for sponsors,
and sponsor forms can be found beside the books at CIBC.
Books are now being sold in their honour at the local branch from Mon-day to Saturday, with soft covers being 50 cents, and hard covers $2.

After a break for the summer Home Routes concerts will start back up in September. The fi rst concert will be Rick Fines, from Peterborough, On-tario. Fines has been play-ing musically profession-ally for 34 years, and has been traveling for the past 7 years playing his tunes.
After trying to move to Toronto multiple times, Fines ended up moving back to Peterborough 20 years ago, and met up with an old friend, and eventu-ally married her, and now the two have a three year old daughter together.
Since fi rst being recog-nized as part of Jackson Delta, Fines has released four solo albums, an album
with his Rick Fines trio, and an album with Suzie Vinnick.
His last album, Driving Home, was released in
2014. Fines has done Home
Routes twice before, and says he loves them for mul-tiple reasons. “First off I really like the intimacy and immediacy of house con-certs. Originally I would only end up with one or two a month, to help out with travel to another gig. This is a really cool thing having a full tour like this.” Another reason why Fines enjoys them is because he books and manages him-self; so having two weeks of concerts booked, feels great. “Sometimes a big show you show up into town, you sound check,
you get in front of people, and basically you say hi them at the end and that’s it. At house concerts you always end up in an inter-esting conversation.”
The musician has never been in Thompson for any longer than to pass through, but historically is from Manitoba; as well his siblings live in the province currently.
Infl uenced by Neil Young and The Rolling Stones, and with knowledge in Del-ta Blues styles, Fines says he will be playing mostly his originally music, which he classifi es as Folk Rock.
Fines plays on Sept. 25.

Local middle schools will be learning the proper terms and what language to use when speaking about someone with a disability this fall. People First of Can-ada, in partnership with the Canadian Down Syndrome Society will be doing pres-entations to classrooms all across the country. People First is a self advocacy group of people living with disabil-ities, which has chapters all throughout Canada.
Kristopher Blake, president of People first Thompson chapter as well as the Manitoba chapter says the presentations will hap-pen for students in grade 7 to 12. This age group is the
focus because of the anti bullying campaign, which is taught and started in grade 7.
Blake met with the School District of Mystery Lake prior to the summer holiday to speak about the presentations. “They were really on board with what we presented them with. They said to come in and they’d be happy to work with us.” Blake will be one of the pre-senters.
It’s an important lesson to be learnt Blake says because words have a lasting effect on people. “It’s important be-cause some students may have other classmates with disabilities in their class, and it will encourage them to get involved in friendships with
them, academically or hobby wise, or even just making conversation with them.”
The one-hour presenta-tions will speak about People First, and what the group does, what people with dis-abilities have to go through, as well they will discuss the United Nations Convention
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
All over the country these presentations will be hap-pening, and will be fi nished by March of 2016.
Blake says he’s looking forward to these talks with the youth, and believes they will go over successfully.

A working alone policy was passed unanimously during the regular meet-ing of council on Aug. 17. Prior to the resolution there were policies for individual positions, and Safe Operations Manager, Michelle Smook noted in
a memo that it caused confusion.
The new policy will be for any employee work-ing alone within any de-partment in the City of Thompson operations. Supervisors will have the chance to review this new policy and will pro-vide copies to employees
before any worker works alone.
Employees that work alone must carry a cell phone, radio, or panic control device with them at all time, and must in-form Fire & Emergency Services prior to work-ing solo. If an employee works alone for more
than two hours they must check in with Fire & Emergency Services after that time period.
The person who an-swers the phone with Fire & Emergency Servi-ces will be keeping a call log to track when employ-ees check in, and who’s working alone during the
present day.If an unsafe situation
was to happen the em-ployee must call the con-tact person, and if deemed necessary, the RCMP.
A worker will not work alone if the works involves confined space entry, open excavations, heights, and or risk of
violence.In the policy it states
that employees are cau-tioned to not work alone while handling hazardous materials and equipment unless a secondary em-ployee is there, and the secondary person must be a city of Thompson employee.

Two childhood friends recently traveled the high-way 6 road to Thompson to reconnect and look at the city they both left over 30 years ago. Norah Law-lor has not been back to the city in over 35 years, and left when her father died in the 70’s and left for Ottawa with her mother.
Sandra Kunzelman hadn’t been back in 30 years, and left when her parents separated, and she moved with her moth-er to southern Manitoba.
The two says they were inseparable during their time at R.D Parker Col-ligate, and many of their dreams started there. “I remember sitting at the forum in the school. We used to talk and discuss ideas and that’s where I fi rst thought about going to New York,” Lawlor ex-plained. Lawlor now lives in New York City and is the CEO & Princiapl for Lawlor Media Group.
Kunzelman lives in southern Manitoba, and has fi ve children.
The pair arrived on Aug. 16, and started to explore the city they once remem-bered. “I didn’t know what to expect. I thought I was going to walk around, and there would be people
walking around, I didn’t know what to expect. I came here with a clean slate. It’s better than I thought. I think in some ways it’s better, but in some ways, some of the houses are run down, and we were looking for our favourite restaurant was gondola pizza, and they were gone,” mentioned Lawlor.
Kunzelman agreed say-ing even the KFC had moved, and one of the movie theatres is gone. “When we were young it seemed so much smaller, and it seemed that it was a lot safer when we grew up here. It was so open and free then, you didn’t have to worry.”
The ladies were hoping to go back to their own stomping grounds, R.D Parker. Lawlor says they noticed that Tim Johnston was previously the major, and says she remembered him being two years older than her in high school.
While in Thompson the friends visited the City Centre Mall and were sad to see the fountain had been removed, but was in-trigued by the branding of wolf capital of the world. Kunzelman says she would see wolves while she was fl ying with her farther over Thompson.
For Kunzelman her favourite memory of Thompson is hockey games. “The Thompson King Miners, the hockey team when I was young. It was a big part of my life, going to the games and everything. I loved it.”
For Lawlor it was the
whole winter season. “The snow, I love it. When I’m in New York City and everyone freaks out about the snow, I think about living in Thompson in -40. I loved the snow and the snowmobiles.”
While in Thompson the two went to the Thomp-son Public Library to
look for their father’s obituaries. Although the obituaries were not there, Lawlor says the administration help was great, and the employees found her sisters bowl-ing and diving records. Lawlor noted that while in Thompson she had a paper route job for the
Thompson Citizen. The two left on Aug.
18, and both agreed they wouldn’t wait another 30 years to come back. “I wish we could find others we went to school with here, and we could do some sort of recon-nection,” Lawlor fin-ished off by saying.

The Thompson Ladies Jay Jays made their way to the slo-pitch nation-als, which started on July 30th in St. John’s New-foundland. The all female team has qualifi ed for the nationals every year, since the team was formed, but has never had the chance to go because of fi nances.
This year when the team found out it was in Newfoundland, they all agreed they’d fi nd a way, since many members of the team are from the east coast. “This year all the girls paid for their fl ights out of their own pocket. Two of us on the team have new babies, so it’s
hard for us to gather for any fundraising activ-ity,” explained Natasha Sanburn, Slo-Pitch Na-tional representative for the north, and a player on the Thompson Ladies Jay Jays.
12 members, with two backups forked out $800 dollars a person for their fl ights, as well as an extra $200 for accommodation, food, and transportation. Sanburn says during a recent slo-pitch tourna-ment in Thompson the team manned the beer gardens, and the money from that went towards the trip. “Instead of people paying $400 for accom-modation and car rentals, members only had to pay
$200, because of the beer gardens.”
Nationals were held in St.John’s but all games were played on differ-ent fi elds outside of the major city. Although the Thompson Ladies Jay Jays placed seventh out of 11, Sanburn says she’s really proud of the team. “We won our fi rst game, and we were on a high., and everyone was super excited. We then took a few loses, but it wasn’t like they were killing us, we were just losing by a couple of runs.”
The weather didn’t cooperate with the tour-nament, as it rained most of the four days, but the Thompsonites tried to re-
member that they’ve been playing in that type of weather all summer.
The ladies played two games on July 31, two on Aug. 1, and eventually got knocked off on Aug. 2. Sanburn says it was dif-ferent playing in nation-als because they only al-low six runs, where as in Thompson it’s 10.
Later on this month there will be a national qualifi er tournament, where the Thompson Ladies Jay Jays will play. If the team makes it into the top four, they will be qualifi ed for Nationals again for 2016, which is in Saskatchewan. San-burn says they’re looking for a local sponsor to help
with the costs, but hopes to make it to nationals either way. The team was also welcomed back to
Newfoundland for an over 35 tournament next sum-mer, which they’re hoping to attend.

The City of Thompson is bumping up its game in the concert depart-ment this summer, with a party in the park, hap-pening Aug. 29. Darlene Dick, Cultural Events Coordinator, Recreation, Parks & culture says this is something they’ve never done before. “It’s a new venture we have. We’re trying out an even-ing concert on a week-
