SPECIAL TO THE NICKEL BELT NEWS

Petit Casimir Memorial School in Lac Brochet has started a seven-week Families and Schools Together (FAST) program to strengthen the connection between families and the school. The school is trying to build up parental involvement in the school, and eventually help kids better succeed in school and in life. FAST can help keep children safe, smart and prepared for life’s challenges. The program is being coordinated by George Thompson, school guidance counsellor, and Marie Enekwinnare, home-school co-ordinator.

The FAST program had its fi rst get-together on Oct. 21 at the Petit Casimir Memorial School for two hours. There were prayers, games, songs, stories, drawing, and a meal shared together. There were seven children from Grade 1 to Grade 8 that were invited with their families.

In attendance Oct. 21 were elders Baptist Dettenikkeaze, Agnes Nambiennare and Marie Denechezhe, students Keithan Dettanikkeaze, Robin Denechezhe, Treydon Det-tanikkeaze, Peterson Besskkaystare and Tianna Thorgssi, family members Adele Gazayou, Agnes Denechezhe, Belinda Veuillot, Dora Dettenikkeaze, Tracy Besskkay-stare, Laura Nambiennare and Gaberial Enekwinnare, as well as Marie Enekwinnare, George Thompson and principal Gerard Butt.

After Christmas, we will be starting our second session. All the best, FAST families !

Some Northern Mani-toba communities elected new mayors in the Oct. 22 municipal election while others saw incumbents re-turned to offi ce either by receiving the most votes or by way of acclamation.

Leaf Rapids Mayor Ger-aldine Cockerill fi nished second to Leslie Baker in the race to be the next mayor of the northern town, which featured fi ve candidates vying for the position. Baker got 83 votes and Cockerill 74, with Chuck Stensgard fi n-ishing third with 67 ballots

cast in his favour. Former Leaf Rapids mayor Ed Charrier was fourth with 36 votes and Gary Trewin collected 12 votes.

Leaf Rapids council has four new members after John Roach Sr., the only incumbent seeking re-election, was defeated. Dorothy Fitzner collected the most votes, with 161, followed by David Lepage (142), Justin Moose (139) and Cecil Sanderson (129).

Lynn Lake Mayor James Lindsay was re-elected in a two-candidate race, col-lecting 116 votes to 79 for challenger C.M. (Botch) Dale. No election was re-quired for council as there were only four candidates. Paul Grimmer and Trevor Kruzer join incumbents David Campbell and Jim Shortt on that body.

Churchill Mayor Michael Spence was re-elected by acclamation, but there were a wealth of candi-dates seeking spots on the four-person council, with 11 people running in all. Heather Botelho as the only incumbent re-elected in Churchill. She is joined by Shane Hut-chins and Bill Dingwall,

who received 247 and 246 votes respectively, as well as Joanne Stover.

Robert Buck was elect-ed mayor of Grand Rap-ids over Tim Arthurson, with Raymnond V. Cook, Dennis Fourre, Muriel Halaisky and Ian Munro elected as councillors, with incumbent Annie Ballan-tyne defeated. All elected councillors except Fourre

were incumbents. Vote totals in the Grand Rapids election were not available from the Manitoba Votes website.

Gillam Mayor Tom Zele-nesky and four council-lors – incumbents Sheri Herrera, John McDonald and Dan Van Alsytne as well as newcomer Matthew Bannerman – were elected by acclamation.

Canada stood still on Oct. 22, when a gun-man shot and killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a Canadian solider standing guard at the Canadian National War Memorial in Ottawa. After the attack, the shooter continued onto Parliament Hill where Churchill riding member of Parliament, Niki Ashton was.

“I got a call from my mom, and I stepped out of the caucus room into the hallway to answer the call. The hallway was off the main hallway where the shooter was. As I was talking into the phone, I heard the fi rst gun shot. By the second one I real-ized someone was shoot-ing inside of parliament, and I could hear that it was moving closer to where I was. So I ran back into our caucus room.”

Once Ashton was back inside the caucus room se-curity entered. “We all laid down around the corners of the room, and then se-curity came into the room. He told us all to get down, and helped us barricade the main door, and then

he stood guard facing the closed door. We had no idea what was going on. I was very frightened. It was terrifying.”

Ashton says she didn’t know details about the shooter, and the killing of Cpl. Cirillo until her father, Steve Ashton called her during the lockdown after she spoke with her moth-er.

Security secured a safe place for all people on Par-liament Hill to go to after it was safe to leave the caucus room. It was in the next building, on the east block of the hill. Everyone who was on Parliament Hill at the time was taken to that safe room. There security prompted every-one to reach out to the public, and to family say-ing they were safe.

“The messages from home meant the world to me. I started getting text messages right away from at home in Thomp-son and other northern communities. When I loaded Facebook I could see more messages, as well as on Twitter. It real-ly gave me strength that their thoughts were with

me and with us, and that people were concerned.”

Ashton says this day will forever change the country, but hopes Can-adians still believe in what the country stands for. “There is no question that certain measures, and certain security is going to change in parliament. We were back at work the next day, and this week (Oct. 27) Parliament was opened back up to the public. I am concerned about the kind of meas-ures we are hearing from the federal government in terms of restricting people of their civil liber-ties and privacy. We’ve said that Canada before this happened is a country of quality, diversity, and tolerance and the NDP say even though this hap-pened we must continue to be a country that stands for those values.”

After 12 hours in lock-down, Ashton and the others were allowed to leave Parliament Hill.

Ashton says without the help of the RCMP and se-curity, things could have happened differently. “I want to fi rst of all share my condolences with the family of Cpl. Cirillo who was killed on that day. I want to express my tre-mendous appreciation to the security in the House of Commons and to the police that immediately reacted with little infor-mation on what was going on.”

GET VACCINATED. DON’T SPREAD THE FLU.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT THEM TOO

The annual seasonal flu vaccine is available to all Manitobans at no charge. It will offer protection against three seasonal flu strains.

An annual flu vaccine is especially important for those at increased risk of serious illness from the flu, their caregivers and close contacts.

If you are 65 or older or have a chronic illness, you should also get a pneumo vaccine. One pneumo vaccine may give you a lifetime of protection.

To get your free flu vaccine, contact your public health nurse, doctor, pharmacist or call Health Links – Info Santé at

As a Christian I have ambivalent feelings about Halloween. Growing up on the farm the closest we came to “celebrating” Halloween was dressing up, going to our neigh-bours’ farmyard across the road and “begging” for some candy. We were not allowed to go to town and go “trick or treating.” We were taught that Hal-loween was evil with its focus on darkness, death and pagan practices. Later in my teen years when my parents allowed me to go to a friend’s place in town it provided me with an op-portunity to do some “mis-chief” – moving machin-ery around on the farm equipment dealer’s lot, or throwing rotten apples at houses of people.

The name Halloween comes from the All Saints Day celebration of the ear-ly Christian church, a day set aside for the solemn remembrance of the mar-tyrs. All Hallows Eve, the evening before All Saints

Day, began the time of re-membrance. “All Hallows Eve” was eventually con-tracted to “Hallow-e’en,” which became Halloween. As Christianity moved through Europe it en-countered pagan customs, holidays and festivals. The organized church would commonly move a distinctively Christian holiday to a spot on the calendar that would dir-ectly challenge a pagan holiday. The intent was to counter pagan infl u-ences and provide a Chris-tian alternative. But most often the church only suc-ceeded in “Christianizing” a pagan ritual—the ritual was still pagan, but mixed with Christian symbolism. That’s what happened to All Saints Eve—it was the original Halloween al-ternative!

The Celtic people of Eur-ope and Britain were pa-gan druids whose major celebrations were marked by the seasons. They cele-brated the end of their year and beginning of a new year at the end of Oc-tober. The pagan Samhain festival (pronounced “Sa-wen”) celebrated the fi nal harvest, death, and the onset of winter, for three days—Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. The Celts believed the curtain dividing the living and the dead lifted dur-ing Samhain to allow the spirits of the dead to walk among the living—ghosts haunting the earth. Some celebrated by engaging in occult practices like divin-ation. For others the focus on death, occultism, div-ination and ghosts fueled superstitions and fears. They believed spirits were

earthbound until they received a proper send-off with treats – posses-sions, food or drink. Spir-its who were not suitably “treated” would “trick” those who had neglected them. Hence the practice of “trick or treat” became established. People be-lieved these spirits wore grotesque costumes. So a tradition developed of wearing costumes to dis-guise themselves so the spirits would think they belonged to their own evil company.

Into that dark, super-stitious, pagan world the light of the gospel shined. Newly converted Chris-tians armed with the truth no longer feared a haunt-ing from departed spirits returning to earth. They denounced their former pagan spiritism in accord with Deuteronomy 18:10-13: “There shall not be found among you any-one...who uses divination, one who practices witch-craft, or one who inter-prets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spirit-ist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord.”

During the early years of Christianity the church leaders found it was best to add their religious ideas onto earlier beliefs, rather than trying to stop old practices. In 837 A.D. Pope Gregory IV pro-claimed Nov. 1 to be “All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day.”

Today Halloween is al-most exclusively a North American secular holiday. Many who celebrate have

no concept of its religious origins or pagan heritage. That’s not to say Hal-loween has become more wholesome. Many Chris-tians do not acknowledge the day or participate in any way in activities relat-ed to the day. Some hold a special celebrative party with wholesome fun ac-tivities and lots of candies for kids. So, how should Christians respond?

Christians are enlight-ened by the truth of God’s Word. Evil spirits are no more active and sinister on Halloween than they are on any other day of the year. The Bible says that Satan is on the prowl seeking whom he may de-vour ( 1 Peter 5:8). But “greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). God has forever “disarmed principalities and powers” through the cross Christ and “made a public spec-tacle of them, triumphing over them through Christ” (Colossians 2:15).

We need to exercise cautionary wisdom. When our children were young-er we did not allow them to dress up in costumes that emphasized death, destruction or occult practices. Parents need to engage their children in conversation about positive practices and to supervise them if they choose to go door-to-door asking for treats. It’s been interesting to see some children practising other-centeredness – collecting donations in support of a worthy cause. We have also given out Adventure in Odyssey CD’s to provide kids with a positive story CD to listen to while they eat their treats!

Ultimately, participation in Halloween is a mat-ter of conscience. For us it’s an opportunity to en-gage with children in our neighbourhood and in a small way seek to share the blessing of Christ and the promise of Light and Life that He offers.

Crowdfunding campaign raises money for Nathan Cirillo’s son

BY MARTHA PERKINSIn the moments after Cpl.

Nathan Cirillo was shot while standing on guard at the National War Memorial, several passersby immedi-ately rushed to his side to perform fi rst aid.

One of them was lawyer Barbara Winters.

“You are so loved,” she kept telling Cirillo, who was mortally wounded. “We’re all trying to help you.”

As she later said to the Globe and Mail, “When you are dying, you need to be told how loved you are.”

Winters’ message is echoed by so many Can-adians who have been deep-ly touched and saddened by his death.

There is a terrible irony that Cirillo, a reservist serving with the Argyll and Sutherland Highland-ers of Canada, was shot at a sculpture which honours the tremendous sacrifi ces of the men and women in Can-ada’s Armed Forces. He was representing all Canadians

in paying solemn tribute to the people who have died while protecting and preserving what it means to be Canadian.

Cirillo was a single father who was devoted to his six-year-old son. In honour of all the values that Cirillo stood for, Glacier Media

has started a memorial crowdfunding campaign on FundAid.ca. It raised hun-dreds of dollars in the fi rst day alone.

The money will be donat-ed to a trust fund for Cirillo’s son as a way to join Barbara Winters in saying, “We’re all trying to help you.”

To donate to this cam-paign, go to FundAid.ca and search for We Stand On Guard for Cpl. Nathan Cir-illo’s Son. Glacier Media, the parent company of FundAid and this newspaper, and Fundrazr, its crowdfunding partner, have waived service fees for this campaign.

Nathan Cirillo, who was shot and killed at the National War Memorial on Oct. 22, posted

this photo of him with his son on Instagram.

Wednesday is always an important day in my calendar. It is caucus day. It is also the day I submit my MP Report, my weekly column on my activities as your MP.

Last week began the same way. I was in my NDP caucus meeting listening to one of my colleagues speak. I received a call from my mom back in Manitoba. Then all hell broke loose.

We heard loud noises and a great deal of com-motion. I understood it was gunfi re and it was moving closer to where I was. The next thing I knew I was in the nearest room tak-ing to the ground with my colleagues as it became increasingly obvious that we were dealing with a shooting.

We were ushered to a safer place but we were still told to stay under tables and away from the win-dows as the area was being secured.

I then spent the next 10 hours in lockdown as se-curity forces searched for other possible assailants.

Throughout the day the details became clear. The brutal killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the honour guard at the National War monument, the wounding of our Parliamentary secur-ity staff and the incredible bravery of our sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers.

What became clear was the degree to which the attack was an attack on our very values as Can-adians. An attack on our tolerance, our democracy, the very peaceful nature of Canada. It was an attack on our Canada.

Over the past week we have all had the opportun-ity to refl ect on what hap-pened. Many people have remarked that they can’t believe that this was hap-pening in Canada. There has been a national out-pouring of grief and sup-port for Cpl. Cirillo’s family. There has been a great deal of discussion about increased security meas-ures both in Parliament and across Canada.

Today, a week later, we came together in the same

caucus room to talk about what happened. We had a chance to thank the se-curity offi cer who acted so quickly to secure the room on that day. My col-leagues and I gave him a long standing ovation. He and so many other security offi cers and police offi cers showed great courage.

While it was a diffi cult experience, the messa-ges I received from home gave me comfort and strength. Many North-ern Manitobans took the time to write or call me to share their thoughts. I’m heartened by the strength we have to move ahead together.

As we move ahead, we must do so by continuing to uphold the values we hold dear as Canadians, values of equality, divers-ity and tolerance.

I believe that we need to ensure that our Canada continues to be an open, tolerant, diverse demo-cratic country.

Last week I never did get to submit my report. As I submit it this week I

would like to dedicate it to Cpl. Cirillo and his family and to the fact that here in Canada, our Canada our democratic values as Can-adians will prevail.

Join us in standing on guard for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s son

Go to FundAid.ca and search for We Stand On Guard For Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s son

On October 22, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot and

The Lutheran United Church of Thompson will once again host the Ten Thousand Villages Festival Sale. It will be held Nov. 14-15 and 17-22 (closed on Sunday) at 52 Caribou Road. On Saturdays it is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Monday to Friday it is open from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

This sale has become a community project that in-volves many volunteers to run the event. It was fi rst held at the Northern Op-tions for Women’s offi ce in The Plaza in 1987; then at the United Mennonite Church (now the Boys & Girls Club) for many years. After that it was held at the Advent Lutheran Church for two years and now this is the third year that it has been at the St. John’s United church building. This is a wheelchair-accessible venue and therefore an ideal location for this op-portunity to “shop around the world” and know that you are buying fair trade products. Buying fair trade products helps people in developing countries meet basic needs for themselves and their families.

When you come to this sale you are encouraged

to take time to visit, have a cup of fair trade coffee or tea with fresh home-baked goodies at The Vil-lage Cafe(L.U.C. project), read many of the artisans’ stories and learn how and where the products are made. You can buy olive oil

from Palestine; coffee from Colombia, Bolivia, Tanza-nia or Ethiopia; Himalayan tea; organic spices and dried fruits; Divine chocolate bars and other food items. Chil-dren are enthralled with a variety of toys and musical instruments as well as

books featuring stories from around the world. Some of the soaps for sale are made by former sex trade workers who have found a new way to make a living and pro-vide for their children.

Ten Thousand Villages is the oldest and largest fair trade organization in North America. Through a network of stores, Festival Sales and e-shopping Ten Thousand Villages Canada sells artisan-crafted person-al accessories, home decor and gift items from around the globe. The organiza-tion creates opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by bringing their products to our markets through long-term, fair trading relation-ships. The artisans are paid 50 per cent for their prod-ucts when they are ordered and the other 50 per cent when they are produced, rather than after they are sold. The artisans work in friendly, comfortable, safe environments where their well being is always con-sidered. This is in sharp contrast to the working con-ditions found in garment factories in places such as Bangladesh!

The inspiration for fair trade began in 1946 when Edna Byler brought em-broidery work from women in Puerto Rico to sell to friends and neighbours in the USA and used the pro-ceeds to buy more pieces at a fair price. By the 1970s, Mennonite Central Commit-tee made this an offi cial pro-gram known as SELFHELP CRAFTS and in 1996 it be-came known as Ten Thou-sand Villages. This name was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s concern for the 700,000 villages of India. Now Ten Thousand Villages partners with thousands of talented artisans in healthy business relationships. People in countries such as Nepal, Pakistan, Ban-gladesh, India, Vietnam, Philippines, Kenya, Guate-mala and Chile are able to market their products under fair trade organizations. At present, Ten Thousand Vil-lages buys products from more than 120 fair trade or-ganizations in 38 countries.

When you support the local Ten Thousand Villa-ges Festival Sale you not only help people around the world but you also help people in our com-

munity. Ten Thousand Villages allows Festi-val Sales to use 10 per cent of product sales to cover expenses and to support local organiza-tions. Over the years of operation donations have been made to such local organizations as the Boys & Girls Club of Thompson, the breakfast program at Wapanohk Community School, the Thompson Crisis Centre for women, the homeless shelter and many other worthwhile causes. While no funds from the Festival Sale go to the Lutheran United Church congregation, the church does hold their own bake and craft sale and these proceeds go to church operating costs.

For further informa-tion about Ten Thousand Villages history, prod-ucts, artisans, etc. go to www.TenThousandVil-lages.ca. For further information about the Thompson Festival Sale or to volunteer you may contact Bea or Dale Shantz by phone at 204-677-3713 or by e-mail at [email protected].

If the sight of the blue skies fi lls you with joy. If a blade of grass springing up in the fi elds has power to move you. If the simple things of nature have a message that you under-stand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.

- Eleanora DuseAs I write this, I’m glan-

cing out the window of the local library. Just now a fl ock of birds (they re-semble small pigeons) is dropping out of the sky and settling placidly on either side of the railroad tracks that run parallel to this storehouse of know-ledge.

Unlike the vehicles streaming by on an adja-cent street, the birds are in no hurry to resume their fl ight. They seem con-tent to just forage around the gravelled banks sup-porting the bed of tracks. Their tiny heads bob in unison as they retrieve miniscule morsels of food from the ground (possibly dispersed seeds of grain deposited from the cars of prairie wheat that plod-ded through earlier in the day).

My eyes divert from the feeding birds to the task at hand. After a momentary pause, I glance once again through the spacious win-dow and notice that the birds have suddenly dis-appeared from my view. Apparently, their focus was disturbed by the in-trusion of three teenage skateboarders ambling by. Not to be undaunted, as soon as the skateboarders roll out of sight, the same fl ock of birds descends on the banks of the train tracks and continues their quest for a mid-afternoon snack.

The pleasant distrac-tion on the rail line gives me pause to think of the simple joys of life. In the sometimes hectic pace of our life, it is easy to miss the sweet serendipity of just drinking in our sur-

roundings. Mary Webb once wrote:

“The well of Providence is deep. It’s the buckets we bring to it that are small.” I think life opens up for us (i.e. we gain a deeper sense of fulfi llment) when we increase the size of our bucket en route to the well of Providence.

But how can we in-crease the size of our bucket? In other words, how can we lead a more abundant life? For me, the answer is to enrich our life with a sense of bold-ness – not reckless aban-don, but a certain joie de vivre that adds more zing to our day. Another key component in the formula for attracting abundance is the simple practice of gratitude. The famous Persian poet, Rumi, had it right when he said: “Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of our life.” What a beautiful thought!

Recently, I gave a 10-minute inspirational speech to our local Toast-masters club. The title of my talk was, “Are You Getting a Grip on Your Potential?” As part of my presentation, I spent some time talking about the power of gratitude, but I also encouraged my lis-teners to heed the advice of the famous poet, Emily Dickinson. The reference from Ms. Dickinson was: “I dwell in possibility.”

With an attitude of dwelling in possibility, we can’t help but give more credence to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s words: “What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

Gary CeppetelliCity ManagerOctober 27, 2014

On Oct. 24, citizens of Snow Lake communed with others in Mani-toba on their quadren-nial trek to the municipal polls. However, while our neighbours in Flin Flon, Thompson, and The Pas all elected a new mayor, we in Snow Lake ac-claimed one. No one other than long-time resident and businessperson Kim Stephen was willing to take on the demanding duties of a community in rebuild mode; she stepped up to the plate and ap-pears ready for the task the role of mayor brings to bear.

Notwithstanding the ac-clamation of the mayor, residents did vote for the six councillor positions spanning the 2014-2018 term. Of the four incum-bents in the race, two were returned to offi ce; Brenda Forsyth-Flamand (315 votes) and Aldon Kowal-chuck (257 votes) were successful, while Angela Enright (140 votes) and Dave Mayer (89 votes) were not. Rounding out the six-member congress are Peter Roberts (268 votes), Richard Jones (261 votes), Robin Turnbull (168 votes), and Jodi Wil-son (155 votes). Gordon Cann (145 votes), Lynden Kucharyshen (122 votes), and Blake Warren (102 votes) were the others de-feated in a close-fought race. The turnout was weak; only 52 per cent of the 779 eligible voters vis-ited the polls.

Leading up to the elec-tion, residents were given the opportunity to hear the 11 aspirants running for council at a Chamber of Commerce-sponsored candidates’ night. Nine of the 11 attended and spoke at the event, with Gor-don Cann missing due to a work commitment and Blake Warren advising he was unable to attend. Nei-ther man had a statement prepared and read in their absence. Mayor-elect Kim Stephen was also on hand and addressed the crowd.

With all in attend-ance given the occasion to speak on where they stood on issues, the in-cumbents – Dave Mayer, Angela Enright, Aldon Kowalchuk and Brenda Forsyth-Flamand – all expressed that they had work yet to do. As well, Richard Jones spoke about how development of the community should be ap-proached. Peter Roberts spoke of more open and transparent communica-tion in making informed decisions, as well as sup-porting administration and staff with their con-cerns. Jodi Wilson spoke

of missed and lost busi-ness opportunities over the past term and sug-gested wholesale change was needed on the coun-cil. Brenda Forsyth-Fla-mand said that the council needed to fi nd better ways of serving citizens, spe-cifi cally mentioning snow removal and garbage pickup.

Additionally, and in re-spect to a vision for Snow Lake, Enright pointed to the sustainability plan as a vision for the com-munity. Aldon Kowalchuk stressed the importance of renewal and growth, new lots, and senior hous-ing. Robin Turnbull spoke of his wish to see more growth in the community, in the school, and from a social aspect. Dave Mayer envisioned slow but con-tinued growth and the need to make the com-munity inviting and sup-portive of new families. Lynden Kucharyshen expressed the need for physical growth in the community, pointing to an expanded trailer court and new lots.

When it came time for mayor-elect Stephen to

address the gathering, she was at ease and expres-sive. She thanked all who were running in the elec-tion, as well as the former council and Mayor Clar-ence Fisher. She then ran down her volunteer pedi-gree and it is an impres-sive one; she also noted how she is up for any challenge. “The reason I let my name stand for mayor is because I believe in Snow Lake,” she said. “It’s in my heart and I want this community to be one we all enjoy.” Stephen also focused on the need for others to step up and become volunteers. “Put down your electronics and get into the game,” she said to chuckles from the crowd. “We can all fi nd excuses to not do our part, but if the younger genera-tion do not stand up, we are going to lose more than we already have. It is time for our elders to take a step back and feel that they don’t have to volun-teer, but only to be there when we ask or need their advice.” She stressed that her new duties will be an uphill battle, but that she’s up for it. Stephen also advised that in Nov-ember, from a podium in the Snow Lake Mining Museum, she will call on the provincial government to address the collapse in exploration and drilling in the province. “We went from number one in the world to about 25th and the worst in Canada,” said the mayor-elect.
