The Remembrance Day ceremony at the C.A. Nes-bitt Arena Nov. 11 took on an added poignancy in light of the recent killings of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo in Ottawa and Warrant Offi cer Patrice Vincent in Quebec on Oct. 22 and Oct. 20 respectively, events that many of the speakers made mention of.

“On Oct. 22, 2014 we had no idea that our country was about to be shaken by the violence that occurred on Parliament Hill, the heart of our nation’s capital,” said Barbara Ellis, past president of the Royal Canadian Le-gion Branch #244. “Just two days prior Warrant Of-fi cer Patrice Vincent died in a terror attack in Quebec. These tragedies that befell us just a short while ago remind us of the importance of the military, police, fi re and security and emergency service personnel to defend and protect Canadians on our own soil as well as those who can’t defend or protect themselves abroad. As a Legion branch it is our duty to honour not only our veterans but those who are asked to stand and defend our country today.”

Churchill MP Niki Ash-ton, who was in Parlia-ment in Ottawa when the killing of Cirillo occurred, said these recent tragedies were on her and many other people’s minds.

“For me, having experi-enced a bit of what hap-pened in Ottawa and at our

Parliament, I think and I know all of us have in our hearts Cpl. Cirillo’s family and Warrant Offi cer Patrice Vincent’s family as well, who did nothing more than to stand for our country as they do every day,” she said. “We thank them for that sacrifi ce. What we are here to remember is how to build a better future for our communities and our country. It’s important to-day that we also remem-ber the aboriginal veterans who came from so many communities across North-ern Manitoba. Many had showed great courage and came back to some diffi cult experiences here at home. Today we think of and we thank those that put their lives on the line to build a more peaceful world for all of us.”

Thompson MLA Steve Ashton noted how many Canadians had served in the military and the tre-mendous loss of life that war has exacted.

“Today we gather again to pay respects to more than 1.5 million Canadians who served this country in uni-form,” he said. “We pay particular tribute to the 118,000 Canadians who made the ultimate sacri-fi ce. And this year, in 2014, we’re reminded this is not just a part of our history, it’s a part of our reality today.”

Deputy mayor Penny Byer urged those in attend-ance to appreciate the sacri-fi ces made on their behalf.

“It is our moral obliga-

tionDas Canadians to treat all veterans with respect and allow them the dig-nity they so well deserve,” Byer said. “But most im-portantly, it is our moral obligation to make sure those men and women have not died in vain and have not served in vain. It is our moral obligation to make

sure we do not abuse the privileges we enjoy as Can-adians and take for granted the freedom.”

Prayers from Father Guna Sekhar, co-pastor of St. Lawrence Roman Catholic Church and elder Jack Robinson combined remembrance with hope for a more peaceful future.

“We come together to-day to remember in faith all who have served and continue serving in our armed forces, especially those who have died and those wounded in battle,” said Sekhar. “We also pray for healing and peace, that one day all peoples may lay down their arms and

embrace one another as brothers and sister in one human family.”

“We are here today, Cre-ator, to remember thou-sands of men and women who have died in the wars,” said Robinson. “We pray today, O creator, that some day all nations will come to peace, and live in peace.”

The annual Christian Centre fall supper was held on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 18 and this edition held some distinction; a celebra-tion of the 40 years that the Christian Centre has been a part of the community of Snow Lake. In keeping with the past 37 years that such a supper has been held, the 38th was also outstanding. It offered up an excellent meal and some great en-tertainment to the 200 or so people in attendance.

Not only do attendees at the event enjoy a great meal of turkey, trimmings and pumpkin pie, but there is also some terrifi c enter-tainment. All provided through the talent of locals Tony Butt and Denis Yates, in addition to the fi ne folks from the Christian Centre’s sister church from Newton, Manitoba. They have been coming up to take part in this supper and providing entertainment for 31 years now.

Getting the evening underway, Val Foord wel-comed attendees and brought a number of items to the group’s collective attention. Included in this were the seasonal and 40th anniversary decorations around the hall, which were the result of the creative tal-ents of Sophia Moritz and Velma Yates. Foord further advised that the proceeds from the supper would go in part to the grads and to others who would be an-nounced at a later date. She also noted that $1,500 from last year‚Äôs supper went to the Dari-Lynn Miller fund.

At this point Ms. Foord revealed that in celebra-tion of the church‚Äôs 40 years the original minis-ter, Ken Neufeld, and wife Caroleen were in attend-ance, as was former min-ister John and wife Anita

Klassen who served in Snow Lake from 1982-88. Prior to the supper, there were further introductions of folks in the crowd such as the Klassen‚Äôs daugh-ter Krissy and her husband John as well as former resi-dents Don Schick and Joe and Linda Kryschuk. As in past years, tables were called to line up for supper and the gent in charge of this task once again came up with inventive ways of picking the order in which people ate. This year the theme was conveniently 1974 (40 years ago). The answers were “fl owing” fast and furiously, so people had to be quick. Neverthe-less, the meal was quickly underway, and as in past years, it was nothing short of fantastic!

Once dinner dishes were cleared away, Mayor Kim Stephen spoke to the crowd. She was at ease and pre-pared ‚Äì like she‚Äôd been at it for years. Yates and Butt performed two fi ne tunes and there was some outstanding music and laughs provided by the folks from Newton; they proved once again why the fall supper always delivers. The event showcases some exceptional voices, as well as a collective and price-less sense of humour. This year being a special one, Val Foord asked the Neufelds to speak and as they did, a slide show from their years in Snow Lake helped every-one to reminisce and refl ect on the church‚Äôs history and their own. Prior to the evening ending, the voices of Newton sang out in two more selections, before everyone who was so in-clined was invited back for the annual church services the following morning and a longer edition of the slide-show later Sunday evening.

My Take on Snow [email protected]

Every year on Nov. 11, we pause in a moment of silence to honour and

remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Can-

ada during times of war, confl ict and peace.

We remember the more than 1.5 million Canadians who have served through-out our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifi ce.

This year we were again reminded of the importance of this service historically. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the begin-ning of the First World War.

It also marks the 70th anni-versary of D-Day and many major events in the Second World War.

This year we also saw the degree to which the armed forces are there in times of peace as they once again came to our assistance during major fl ooding in Manitoba.

Nothing hit home about the meaning of Remem-brance Day more than the

senseless murder of two Canadian soldiers, here on Canadian soil. Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Offi cer Patrice Vincent. They died in service of our country.

In 2014 we’re reminded that Remembrance Day is not just a part of our his-tory, it’s a part of our reality today.

We must never forget the sacrifi ce of so many men and women throughout our

history.We must never forget our

veterans.We must never forget

those in service today and their families.

We must never forget we owe our democracy and quality of life to them.

We must never cease to work to ensure that their ultimate legacy is lasting peace.

Lest we forget.

Communities throughout our riding commemorated Remembrance Day earlier this week.

Each year we honour the ultimate sacrifi ce of the tens of thousands of Can-adians who fought bravely

in many confl icts over the years. We pay tribute to their remarkable courage and commitment.

We are reminded that without them we would not enjoy the freedom that we have today

The tragic events of the last few weeks have re-minded us all of just how much we rely on the service of so many Canadian men and women. We mourn the senseless killing of Warrant Offi cer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo.

It is also important we remember to support our veterans and our veterans organizations.

We must honour the memory of our brave sol-diers. We must continue to fi ght for a more peaceful world.

Lest we forget.

Family gatheringLife can be lonely but it

was never intended to be that way. For many isola-tion and being disconnect-ed from others is a daily experience. For some it is a choice, for others it is the byproduct of the circum-stances of their life. Re-gardless of the reasoning, it is often negative in its consequences.

God right from the very beginning recognized that we need others in our lives. As creation unfolded in Genesis 1 & 2 we see God pronouncing everything

good. It isn’t until only man is created that we hear God say that something is not good. Genesis 2:18, “The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

We were built with a need for relationship! The writer of Ecclesiastes further ex-presses this need in Ec-clesiastes 4:9-12 “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: (10) If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! (11) Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? (12) Though one may be overpowered, two can de-fend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

For many of us here, Thompson is not where we are from. We have come here for work or other reasons. It isn’t where our extended family is so we automatically are missing a natural relationship struc-ture in our lives which can lead to loneliness or iso-lation. So, other than our

family, what was another relationship or community that God has established for the health and well-being?

I believe the answer to that is the Church! The church is simply the family of God coming together. As I have been sharing with my congregation, as individ-uals we are Christians, but together we are the Church. We were never meant to re-main isolated or separate from each other, but come together for fellowship and relationship.

These are foundational needs in everyone’s life in-cluding those of the child of God. Just as many of us long for the times when we have a chance to go home and spend time together with our extended fam-ilies, so it is in the life of the Christian. We should long for the time when we can

go to our Father’s house and spend time together with the family. King David said it in Psalms 122:1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

Perhaps, you feel alone here in Thompson. I want you to know that you do not have to remain that way. God has established His family here and wants you to be part of it. All of us are adopted into His family. Why not join in and attend a family gath-ering this week? You can check out when His family gets together in this paper. I know that family gather-ings are always better when more show up.

Bomb threat causes evacuation

of Leaf Rapids town centreBY IAN [email protected]

A report of an explo-sive device at the Leaf Rapids Education Centre in the northern commun-ity’s Town Centre Complex caused the evacuation of about 230 people from the area on Nov. 12, Leaf Rap-ids RCMP say.

The complex that houses the education centre and

the town’s health centre was evacuated as a pre-caution and the RCMP Explosive Device Unit as-sisted Leaf Rapids RCMP with the investigation, which determined that no explosive device was present and the report was false.

Those evacuated from the Town Centre Complex were cleared to return and

the RCMP continue to in-vestigate.

Anyone with infor-mation can contact Leaf Rapids RCMP at 204-473-2944 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, submit a secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com or text “TIPMAN” plus a message to CRIMES (274637).

Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos Indian Band near Osoyoos, B.C., close to the U.S. border, offers a variation on a well-known real estate slogan when he identifi es the important issues he wants to talk about with people who want to form a relation-ship with his First Nation.

“I always tell them, ‘I’ve got three words for you: jobs, jobs, jobs,’” says Louie, who was in Thomp-son Oct. 23 as the keynote speaker for the Thompson Chamber of Commerce’s Northern Business Week. “I think the premier of Al-berta said the best social program’s a job. Kids, I don’t care non-native or native, they shouldn’t be growing up in a household where nobody works. Kids should be growing up in a household where at least one parent works.”

Louie, a 10-term chief of the Osoyoos Indian Band and winner of every election but one since fi rst being elected chief at the age of 24 in the mid-80s,

says his First Nation’s claim to fame is the suc-cess it’s had creating and operating its own busi-nesses.

“I like creating jobs,” he says. “That’s what I like doing. I like focusing on job development, job cre-ation. Like any town or city or any band, you’ve got to have an economy or else you have a ghost town. If you want people to stay and you want the schools, and the hospitals and everything else that goes with that, you need a decent standard of liv-ing. Your living comes from your wage from your job. That’s why I focus on jobs.”

The Osoyoos Indian Band didn’t transform into an economic success that employs 700 First Nations and non-First Na-tions employees in a var-iety of enterprises, includ-ing a winery, overnight.

“Our fi rst economic de-velopment, it was as a land lease, it was 1963,” Louie says. “It was a piece of land that the people at the time, I was only three

years old, they decided to lease that land out for a golf course to non-natives for a 49-year lease. Our fi rst band-owned business was in 1968 and it was a vineyard. It’s rare a First Nation has economic de-velopment on their lands going back to the ‘60s.”

Louie says he prefers hanging around business people rather than pol-iticians, noting that the things First Nations and politicians talk about – like treaty and land claims issues – aren’t going to be solved as soon as he would like.

“Those things are 100-year-old issues and they’ll probably be going on for another 100 years,” says Louie, a recipient of the Order of British Col-umbia and a two-term chair of the National Ab-original Economic De-velopment Board. “I want to create jobs and have people and families have a decent income now, not wait for treaty issues to be settled or land claims issues or the ongoing

For chief of successful B.C. First Nation, it’s all

about jobs

No 100 per cent solutionissues between the prov-inces and First Nations or the federal government and First Nations.”

He also says that ensur-ing First Nations people have good employment opportunities is import-ant not only to First Na-tion leaders but to every-one in communities like Thompson with a high percentage of aboriginal people and to everyone in Canada.

“Are a signifi cant pro-portion of those First Nations people on wel-fare?” he says, referring to Thompson’s aborig-inal population. “Most cities and towns I go to the native population is usually not doing very well. The youngest and fastest-growing popula-tion in Canada, especially on the prairies, are First Nations people. That’s a huge social economic cost if the majority of the fu-ture workforce is grow-ing up on welfare. You can see who lives in the poorer sections of town or which group of people are

walking the streets and look like they’re unem-ployed or not doing very well. It’s probably the na-tive people. That should be a concern to citizens in Thompson. It’s probably been that way for a long time.”

Prior to his speech at the October Chamber of Commerce event, Louie said his message includ-ed restoring the relation-ships between First Na-tions and the government to its original state.

“I don’t know how many native people there will be in the audience but my message is the original treaty relation-ship was a business re-lationship not a depend-ency relationship,” he said. “We’ve got to bet back to the business rela-tionship.”

And while the Osoyoos Indian Band isn’t a per-fect First Nation, Louie says there’s no sense in striving for perfection.

“We still have a 10 per cent crowd or so that are caught in that welfare cycle or they have diffi -

culty holding jobs,” said Louie. “There’s no 100 per cent solution. If you can help solve 50 or 60 per cent of the problem, don’t look for the 100 per cent solution. There is no such thing as a 100 per cent solution in any-thing but that still doesn’t mean that if you can em-ploy half the people, that if you can get 50 per cent of the people employed that’s better than what you’re at now when 20 per cent of the people are employed, for example.”

The important thing for First Nation economic development is to fi nd a niche within the economy that exists in the area, which some First Nations are better positioned to take advantage of than others.

“Location is a big fac-tor but there’s other First Nations that have good location but they don’t make economic develop-ment their priority or get involved in the busi-ness development,” he says. “Where I come from people say, ‘How’d you

get involved in wineries and grapes?’ Well, that’s the economy of the south Okanagan. There’s a lot of golf courses in the Okanagan, that’s why we own a golf course as well, You participate in the economy that’s in your region. I know some of these bands way up north they have the opportunity of being involved in the mining industry. A lot of bands across the prairies are involved in oil and gas and mining and forestry and making millions of dollars and creating thou-sands of jobs. It creates a couple of thousand jobs and the spinoff from that creates another thousand that spin off that. There’s always spinoff benefi ts to any natural resource de-velopment. Thompson’s kind of the hub of a lot of the remote areas. I’m sure a lot of the bands’ people come here to shop. If they had decent jobs they’d be spending more money here. Every little service in this town bene-fi ts from that income that the people get.”

Manitoba Hydro em-ployees continue to be locked out of staff hous-ing at the Jenpeg Generat-ing Station on the Nelson River. Pimicikamak Oki-mawin Cree Nation (PCN) members evicted staff from housing at the gen-erating station in Octo-ber, and will not take the locks off until the process agreement is signed and Premier Selinger comes to Cross Lake.

Anthonie Koop, a spokesperson for Mani-toba Hydro, says there are still workers at the dam. “We still have protesters at site. But we do have staff

within the powerhouse, continuing to operate the station.” Koop says work-ers have been doing shift changes, with the permis-sion of PCN. “We need permission from the First Nation leadership prior to doing any shift changes. We continue to work at the generating station but we do not have free access to either enter or exist the station.”

In a press release dat-ed Nov. 5, Pimicikamak chief Cathy Merrick said a memorandum of agree-ment (MOA) has been signed. The agreement has received signatures by representatives from Manitoba Hydro, the

Manitoba government, and Pimicikamak. Mer-rick says because of the MOA the protesters have hope. “We look forward to turning the commitments into major on-the-ground change. That is what our people need.”

Pimicikamak wants a public apology by Pre-mier Greg Selinger for the past and present dam-ages Manitoba Hydro has caused for people and land, Merrick says. The community of Cross Lake also wants a commit-ment from the province and Manitoba Hydro in regard to the 1977 North-ern Flood Agreement. “I believe the implementa-

tion of the Northern fl ood agreement can put our na-tion on a path to increas-ing social and economic independence.”

Koop says Manitoba Hydro wants operations to go back to normal, but does not know when that will happen. “We don’t know at this time when those locks will be re-moved. It looks like that will happen once we have a formal agreement on the process going forward for discussing the issues raised by PCN.”

Nickel Belt News tried to reach Selinger about visiting Cross Lake, but the call has not been re-turned.

Protesters stand their ground at the Jenpeg Generation Station
