Northern Manitoba receives another body blow as Tolko announces it will close operations in The Pas Tolko Industries announced Aug. 22 that it will close its Manitoba kraft paper and sawmill operations in The Pas on Dec. 2, putting 332 people out of work. “This is not a decision we have entered into lightly,” said Tolko president and CEO Brad Thorlakson in a press release. “Over the 19 years we have been in the community, a great deal of work has been done, both internally and externally, to improve the mill’s competitive position. Unfortunately, despite years of continued effort to improve the cost structure and business results of the operations, the business is not financially sustainable. This is a business decision that is in the best long-term interest of the company and our employees.” Tolko purchased the paper and sawmill operations in 1997. “We have valued our time in The Pas and have great respect for the community and our employees who have been with us on every step of this journey,” said Thorlakson. “We understand that this will be a difficult time for them and the community, but we cannot continue to sustain the losses at the operation.” About 264 Tolko employees in The Pas are represented by Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union – 234 mill and office workers belong to Unifor Local 1403 and 30 supervisors at the mill belong to Unifor Local 342. “This is a very sad day for workers and the community that has invested so much into the mill over the years,” said Unifor western director Joie Warnock in a press release. “Unifor is going to fight to make sure that our members’ needs are taken care of during this process and after the closure. “
“Good jobs are the backbone of communities large and small,” said Unifor national representative Paul McKie. “First Nations and Métis communities in Northern Manitoba will be the hardest hit.” NDP members who represent The Pas at both the federal and provincial levels both said that Manitoba’s government should act to save jobs and avert an economic crisis in The Pas. “The closure of the mills will be incredibly stressful for families who will have a tough time making ends meet without a regular income,” The Pas NDP MLA Amanda Lathlin. “It will also hurt many other local businesses and undermine the economic future of the entire region.” “When we were in government, we understood the need for the province to support our resource economy and meet the needs of an evolving industry,” Lathlin said. “If economic conditions have changed, the Pallister government must work with the community to protect good jobs and build an economy that helps families raise their children.” “The Conservative plan for the north emphasized little more than tourism, showing disregard or a superficial understanding of the real issues facing northerners,” Lathlin said. “The events still unfolding in Churchill demonstrate that Northern Manitobans need stable long-term jobs, reliable transportation and food security – things we always fought for when in government.” NDP MP Niki Ashton said the federal and provincial governments have not intervened as they had in the past to prevent such an event. “Where is the federal government?” Ashton said. “Where is the provincial government? When the NDP was in government they worked
with the town, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, the union and all stakeholders to find a solution. It was one of the few mills that survived at the time. It’s no coincidence that no level of government is stepping up now. We need government to step in and protect northern jobs.” “This coupled with the closure of the Port of Churchill is further devastating to our north,” Ashton said. “We have a federal government that says it cares about job creation and sits by while the north bleeds jobs. We have a provincial government that is betraying the north. It’s time to change course.” Environmentalists say they want assurances that Tolko will properly decommission thousands of kilometres of logging roads in Northern Manitoba. “Having Tolko abruptly put more than 300 people out of work is already painful enough,” said Eric Reder, Manitoba campaign director for the Wilderness Committee. “The corporation can’t be allowed to leave a mess of the northern forests too.” If not decommissioned, deteriorating logging roads will make moose and woodland caribou more susceptible to predation by wolves, he said, and enable people to get into forest areas that should be left undisturbed. “When Tembec left eastern Manitoba, none of the logging roads were decommissioned,” said Reder. “Years later, gates are not controlled properly, and our moose and woodland caribou populations continue to be impacted.” “Affected northern community members must be given first opportunity to do this important decommissioning work,” he said. “We must show corporations that they can’t cut and run, leaving the public on the hook for millions of dollars and decades of damages.”

NDP candidate and former MLA Eric Robinson was the only one of three Keewatinook electoral district candidates to file his audited election expense statements by the Aug. 19 deadline, with Keewatinook Liberal MLA Judy Klassen and Progressive Conservative candidate Edna Nabess receiving extensions until Sept. 6. Provincial election candidates are required to file audited financial statements with the chief elec-
toral officer within four months after election day, though it is possible to have the deadline extended. Robinson’s statements were audited by Booke & Partners, which noted that he was not in compliance with section 46(2) of the Election Financing Act of Manitoba because he obtained a loan of more than $3,000 from a person who is not a financial institution. Robinson raised $21,759.71 overall, with the largest portion ($13,430) coming from
the NDP and $7,800 from his constituency organization. He spent $32,365.17 on election expenses and $2,254.06 on non-election expenses through the course of the campaign, with the bulk of that money ($22,124.30) spent on transportation, accommodation and food. Other major expenses included honoraria and salaries ($3,132.20), signs and structural support ($2,508.60), office rent and utilities ($2,270.98), advertising ($1,719.53), and office supplies and
postage ($1,092.85). The election spending limit for the Keewatinook electoral district in the 2016 provincial election was $8,654 for advertising and $66,918 overall. Candidates are eligible for reimbursement of up to 50 per cent of eligible election expenses if they receive 10 per cent or more of valid votes in their electoral division. Parties qualify for reimbursement if they receive 10 per cent or more of valid votes in each electoral division where it endorsed a candidate.

Feds and province spending $20 million on section of Highway 6 The federal and provincial governments are each contributing up to $10 million for pavement rehabilitation on the section of Highway 6 from Provincial Road 248 to Provincial Road 415, they announced Aug. 23. “We are proud to work with our federal partners on maintaining public safety and improving the quality of our highways in Manitoba,” said Minister of Manitoba Infrastructure Blaine Pedersen in a press release. “Each of our highways connects communities and enables economic activity across our large and diverse province. Highway 6 is a gateway to northern Manitoba, connecting our communities in the north to the capital region of our province.” Work on the 22.7 kilometre section of Highway 6 from St. Laurent south will also include intersection improvements and the addition of safety features such as paved shoulders with rumble strips. “The government of Canada is pleased to be partnering with the government of Manitoba to
invest in much needed upgrades to the national highway system in the province,” said Charleswood-St, James-Assiniboia-Headingley MP Doug Eyolfson, speaking on behalf of the federal infrastructure and communities minister. “This work will provide a more reliable and safe ride for both Manitobans and visitors, stimulate economic growth and contribute to the high quality of life Canadians want and expect.” The governments are also spending up to $33 million combined on two sections of Highway 1. “Manitobans have told us that infrastructure is their number one priority,” said Chris Goertzen, president of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, who participated in the announcement. “These projects will promote safe, efficient travel and allow greater economic opportunity into our municipalities, while at the same time linking communities to each other.” “We support and welcome anything that promises to make our roads

Dangerous Waterway Zone Construction of the Keeyask Generating Station is underway near Gull Rapids on the Nelson River. This can cause speed and depth of water in the area to change very quickly and may also result in an increased risk to public safety. Watch for signs, buoys and booms marking the dangerous waterway zone and avoid the area at all times during construction. Be alert, don’t get hurt.

Snow Lake’s Stoltz takes wood burning to a new level Snow Lake is currently (and once again) home to a very unique artist, Lars Stoltz. As a teen, Stoltz spent a number of years in the community, before moving to the West Coast where he honed a craft that sees him turn lengths
and rounds of cedar into amazing and functional works of art. And it isn’t just Stoltz’s artwork that is distinctive … it is his look. Tall and lean, he sports a beard that could undoubtedly win any contest he entered it in. It is easily
a foot long, red and bedazzled with beads and braids. Currently the artist’s “go-to” pieces are his chairs. These chairs are basically blank Adirondack style seats that Stoltz builds entirely out of West

Description
My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Marc Jackson that he thought he could do it better. The friend – a tattooist – said that if Stoltz could, he would trade some of his work for a chair. The friend loved the chair, as did others, so a business – LarsWorks – was born. Stoltz also does other handyman type work and operates equipment. However LarsWorks has been his “default” job for an extended period of time. Of note, one of Stoltz’s Adirondacks was purchased by Chris Chell and presented as the prize for the best time in the recent truck bog, but that isn’t the only piece he has made and presented in past months. He gifted
Fort McMurray’s fire chief, Darby Allen, with a cedar round that has a wood buffalo burned into the centre, and also a knife-burned plank representation of the province of Alberta that was handed over during the Fire Aid 2016 concert on June 29 at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium. Another famous person who owns a LarsWorks piece is Zakk Wylde, singer for the American metal band Black Label Society. Stoltz actually made a holiday out of the presentation when he drove a personalized chair to Los Angeles and presented it to Wylde in person – one artist honouring another.

Coast cedar; he then puts anything the customer wants on the bed in respect to name, design, languages or fonts. Armrests and legs are made from cedar split rail fencing. Some of the art work and lettering is freehand, but much is stencilled. “I have done freehand in the past and my lovely lady is an exceptional artist who I’ve used for lettering and designs,” said Stoltz in a short interview at the recent truck bog. “But I also have stencilled from various sources as it’s the quickest and therefore cheapest for clients.” He stencils/draws the designs and lettering on his chairs, then burns them freehand with whitehot butterknives, which he buys in hundred lots wherever he can. As amazing as his work is, Stoltz stumbled on it by chance … he got into it as a result of a lack of work on Vancouver Island, as well as on a bit of a whim.

Why Manitoba needs to invest in its children Unless troublesome infant mortality rates and the number of children in care are addressed, Manitoba’s economic productivity will lag BY NATHAN C. NICKEL AND MICHAEL MOFFATT EVIDENCENETWORK.CA WINNIPEG/Troy Media – To thrive economically, Manitoba needs young people. And troublesome provincial trends must be addressed if we are to make the most of those young people. The province’s relatively high birth rate – around 1.93 for every 1,000 women – combined with favourable immigration trends means that Manitoba’s population will continue to grow. However, if the success of a province depends on how well it prevents infant deaths, then statistics also tell us that we may be failing our children. For decades, Manitoba has had the highest provincial infant mortality rate in Canada – 5.9 for every 1,000 live births in Manitoba versus 4.8 for every 1,000 live births, nationally. Infant mortality is often viewed as a marker of a society’s development and Manitoba consistently falls to the bottom. A report by the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy highlights that the province also has one of the highest rates of children being taken into care in the world. This alarming statistic should signal to all policy-makers and politicians that something different needs to be done. Poverty, limited education, historical trauma and colonization – to name just a few factors – can be linked to Manitoba’s high rates of infant mortality and kids

in care. And it all puts children at risk for other negative health and social outcomes. Clearly this is morally unacceptable. But what’s less often discussed is that failing the province’s children also puts Manitoba in economic jeopardy. Unless something is done to turn around the troublesome rates of infant mortality and the disturbing number of children taken into care each year, Manitoba will lag in economic productivity. Fortunately, Manitoba is also producing some of the richest evidence on what could turn things around. A study recently published in Pediatrics found that the province’s Healthy Baby Program, which gives low-income mothers an income supplement of $81 per month – with no strings attached – is associated with several improved birth outcomes. This modest economic boost resulted in fewer low birth weight and premature births – both of which put infants at risk for dying before their first birthday. Another study found that the province’s Fam-
ilies First Home Visiting Program – which offers support to families with children from pregnancy to school entry, at no cost to families – is associated with reductions in the number of children taken into care and hospitalized for injury due to maltreatment, and in improved overall health. Both programs provide a glimpse of what is possible. But we can and must do better. These programs don’t reach all pregnant women and families in need in the province. They must be expanded to reach everyone in need. Also, while these programs do much to support families living on the margins, they don’t address all of the numerous and complex challenges – like poverty, historical trauma and colonization – these families face. The new provincial and federal governments need to work together to implement programs that address such challenges. And they must enact the Calls to Action outlined in the Truth and Reconciliation Report. We must ensure that all children have equal oppor-
tunity to healthy and successful lives. We have the chance to make real changes to support children’s health. The provincial government can leave a lasting legacy by significantly reducing infant mortality to at least the Canadian average and drastically reducing the number of children taken into care. By providing families with the right support, Manitoba can become a leader in child health outcomes. It’s time Manitoba provided the supports that struggling families need to care for their children. The result would be a healthier workforce better able to compete in a global market. The evidence shows how we can make a real difference – we just need to put that evidence to work.

Lessons to be learned from Yellowknife’s economic diversification I’m happy to be back in Thompson after travelling farther north to attend a three-day annual conference with the Canadian Council of Public Accounts Committees and Canadian Council of Legislative Auditors in Yellowknife this past weekend.

existence in the first place – shut down. The landscape of Yellowknife is similar to that of Flin Flon and Northern Manitoba, with plenty of visible outcrop, lakes and trees, and offers a wide range of excursions to tourists including fishing and hunting, canoeing and boat tours, cultural
and historic displays, storytelling and aurora borealis viewing. There are plenty of choices for accommodations, dining and nightlife, and the city attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world every year to its ice castle on the lake. It is also a launching point for mining companies operating in the Northwest Territories. There are plenty of lessons to be learned from the successful transition and sustainable economic diversification of northern cities such as Yellowknife, which are not only holding their own but are growing and thriving.

terpreters to help people applying for protection orders. Altogether, the provincial government is providing $1.85 million worth of grants. “The criminal property forfeiture program is a unique opportunity to take money from unlawful activity and put it to good use,” said Justice Minister Heather Stefanson in an Aug. 17 press release. “The grant provides stronger supports for victims of crime, while also investing in new investigative tools, community safety initiatives and improved officer safety throughout Manitoba. We also want to recognize the important work of the RCMP K9 unit and we are proud to help support new equipment to keep these highly trained dogs safe in dangerous situations.” “Through the criminal property forfeiture program, we have the ability to strip criminals of the proceeds they have gained through illegal activity and enhance policing services across Manitoba,” said Scott Kolody, commanding officer of RCMP “D” Division. “The money and equipment announced today will directly enhance the safety of our officers, help us target child predators and improve community projects led by our detachments.”

Scare me, please BY DANIEL MCSWEENEY One evening just before midnight, I walked home from Solihull’s town centre and took my usual daytime short cut through the St. Alphege church graveyard. As I turned up my collar to ward off the damp English chill, I heard what sounded like footsteps behind me in the darkness. Out of the corner of my eye, a ghostly shadow drifted across the gravestones of the 13th-century church. And yet when I looked more closely, I saw nothing, just the silhouettes of markers bearing the names of folks long ago gone to “the other side.” I breathed easier knowing it was just an illusion, perhaps caused by distant car lights filtering through the trees. No matter what though, I felt a tingling sensation up my spine gifted to me by my fertile imagination – and I admittedly enjoyed the feeling. Like others, I delight in the “haunting folklore” of the United Kingdom. We have it in North America, but because of U.K.’s long history, it seems more intense here. There are opportunities to experience it everywhere – tours of graveyards and castles and hotels where spirits are believed to roam darkened corridors terrorizing the touristy faint of heart. And while I am skeptical about most stories of “the supernatural,” I understand the attraction of such stimulation. I remember huddling in darkened cellars with school chums making up ghost stories. We liked to scare each other; it told us we were alive and open to life’s many experiences. That’s why I believe people go on crazy roller coaster rides and savour chilling ghost stories told around a campfire. One of my favorite U.K. “ghost” stories is about the “phantom London bus” that reportedly claimed the life of an English motorist in 1934. Faced with the ghostly bus racing towards him down the middle of the road, it is said he took evasive action and plowed his car into a stone wall causing it to explode in a ball of fire. Some claim that this ethereal vehicle still roams the streets of London when fog descends over the city. They say it appears out of nowhere in the wee hours of the morning at the precise time the accident occurred. It is perhaps like the knight bus in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – only much more sinister. Neither are bus rides I would want to take! Just recently, we were in Wales near “one of the most notorious haunted venues in the United Kingdom.” It’s the Craig Y Nos castle in the Brecon Beacons National Park, about 15 miles north of Swan-
sea. On a stormy Welsh night when thunder roars and lightning flashes, you would be hard pressed to find a scarier place than this hotel that was once a TB sanatorium. It was here where its owner, famed opera singer Adelini Patti died in 1919. And it was in the cellar of the castle her body was embalmed. Legend has it a rather nasty apparition of a man dwells in this “salt cellar” where Ms. Patti was made ready for the grave. And so too, it is said she wanders down castle stairways. About 50 miles away in Cardiff, there are numerous other haunted hotels begging those of us wanting to be scared to stay there a night or two. One is the 1,000-year-old Miskin Manor Hotel where the ghost of the Lord of the Manor has been spotted in the hotel’s dining room – once chatting with 10 other spirits. The hotel is also claimed to be the home of the ghost of a woman who floats around the bar. Writer Nia Jones says this lady of apparition is not threatening. On the other hand, she suggests it is best not to ruffle her ghostly feathers. “If anyone doubts her existence,” writes Nia, “She tells them off by making heavy pictures fl y from the walls and crash to the floor.” One ghost story that has always fascinated me involves canine apparitions – the so-called “hounds of hell.” Here in the British Isles, they are also known as “black dogs” or “the dogs of darkness.” With foul breath and fiery eyes, they appear out of nowhere as a portent of death. Such canine legends are part of the haunting folklore of South Devon, England, the moorland that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles. We visited there last year and it’s easy to see how the moors have been fertile ground for such legends. While beautiful on a sunny day, these hardscrabble lands can be bleak and gloomy, the ideal environment for ghostly legends. Consider the 1600s story of Richard Cabell, a rather despicable English Squire known for hunting the moors with his dogs – and allegedly murdering his wife. He is also said to have sold his soul to the devil, presumably when The Prince of Darkness visited there in the 1630s. (It’s all part of local legends that add to the character of this place that is also home to the infamous Dartmoor Prison.) When Richard died in 1677, his dogs reportedly howled at his tomb. And each year on the anniversary of his death, their canine spirits show up near his tomb baying at the moon for their long

OBITUARY SHIRLEY ROY
March 9th, 1934 – July 25th, 2016
It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of Shirley May Roy (nee Davison) at the age of 82 years.
Daniel McSweeny departed master. And for cat lovers, the area also boasts the legend of “The Beast of Dartmoor,” a huge feline some say also roams the granite hilltops of South Devon. My fascination with devilish dogs was born more than 50 years ago and 3,000 miles away in North America. It was in my hometown of Halifax in the early 1960s that a high school mate turned uncharacteristically serious one night about a story his father had told him. I have no recollection why we were talking about ghostly matters; mostly we talked about girls. (They too were often ghosts in our lives when we couldn’t muster up a date on a Friday night if our lives depended on it.) On that night, my old pal looked us square in the eyes and insisted the story his father had told him was true. His dad, like Richard Cabell, was a hunter. At the end of a long day’s hunting trip in the backcountry of Nova Scotia, he was breaking trail back to camp when he heard a rustling in the bush. He raised his rifle expecting a bear to emerge. Instead, a dog with a huge head and fiery eyes bolted towards him. It was, my mate claimed, bigger than any dog his father had ever seen. And while he feared it would savage him, the dog with eyes burning like lumps of flaming coal vanished into “a puff of smoke.” True? Or perhaps it was just a father tell-
ing his son a yarn. I don’t know. It is though a story that has stayed with me – and comes to mind when I walk through English graveyards at night. I am not one of those people who watches television shows about haunted houses and paranormal activities. There is usually a rational explanation for everything – just like the “hound of hell” that my mate told us about in the 1960s. Most of the ghost stuff is all part of an industry designed to entertain and scare us – something most of us enjoy. So venture out into the night without fear of the super natural. Spot a big red “night bus” in London and check out where it might take you. Most likely the driver will be “of this world” but if the fi gure over the fare box extends a bony hand that makes your blood run cold, don’t board the bus; wait for the next one. Consider what a great story this would be to tell your grandchildren. Then go home and change your boxers. Dan McSweeney, a Halifax native, first worked as a reporter at the old Halifax Herald, then got a taste of public relations work at Canadian National Railway in Moncton, before coming to Thompson in 1980 to work for Inco. He retired back home to Bridgewater on Nova Scotia’s south shore in June 2007 after 27½ years with Inco here. He blogs at mcsweeneysdiversion. wordpress.com

Shirley came to Thompson, MB from Glasgow, Scotland in 1968 along with her husband David and 4 daughters. Another daughter and ¿nally a son were added to “the Roy Clan” and the family was complete. After all 6 children were ¿nally in school Shirley took a job with the Bank of Montreal, and later on worked for many years at Mutual Life Insurance Co. Shirley was also a member of the Thompson Chapter of the I.O.D.E. and the Thompson Hospital Auxiliary. Shirley was well liked and always had a smile and a chat for anyone she met. A real people person. True and genuine. She will be sadly missed by anyone who knew her. Shirley leaves to remember her…. always and forever... ¿ve daughters: Helen Colbourne (Rex), Trish Gareau (Rene), Lindsay Scaddan (Scott), Davina Maier (David), and Fiona Ethier (Wade). Her ten grandchildren all of whom she was very proud of: Amanda Colbourne (Dale) and Richard Colbourne, Nicole GareauWilson(Justin) and Michelle Gareau (Kathleen), Kevin Scaddan (Katie), Ashley Scaddan(Lawrence) and Kimberley Scaddan (Austin), Jade Daigle (Phil), Danielle Ethier (Jen) and Rochelle Ethier. Her two great-grandsons Michael and Mark Scaddan. As well as Shirley’s brother and sisters and their families in Scotland and south Africa. Shirley was predeceased by her only son, David William Davison Roy, in July 2009 at the age of 36, and her husband David Roy, in April of 2011. In keeping with, and respecting mom’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service held. Mom is to be cremated and the family is to have a celebration of her life. We ask, on her behalf, if you choose to make a donation to a worthy cause then do so to that cause that you feel would bene¿t the most. She would have liked that. Thank you to everyone for all their cards, thoughts and kindnesses. Thank you to the Heritage Life Personal Care Home in Niverville, MB. for your kindness and care of our mother. Even though she was only with you a short time she was happy and liked you all. Where are we now? How do we go on? It’s true what they say…“there is no love greater than a Mother’s love.” So for all of us Roy girls it is the greatest anguish one can feel when she is gone.
