With Nickel Days always comes the annual National King Miner Contest, with 18 of Vale’s fi nest squar-ing off for the coveted King Miner title. This year’s National King Miner was Brian Woytkiw, who placed in a whopping eight events to win his eighth-straight title. Following Woytkiw are runners-up Tyrell Hall, Josh Forest and Alex Mar-tin, in descending order. The winners of the team event were Scott Kennedy, Daniel Kennedy, Frank Bushby and Richard Patter-son, with the rookie prize awarded to Bruno Forest.

Elections Manitoba vot-ing area results from the April 19 provincial elec-tion show that successful candidate Kelly Bindle of the Progressive Conserva-tive party rode to victory by winning all but nine polls in the Thompson area while the NDP’s Steve Ashton won practically every poll in the outlying areas of the district.

Bindle won all four polls at Westwood Elementary School, two of three at

Ecole Riverside School, three of four at Juniper School, fi ve of six at Burn-twood Elementary School and all three at Deerwood Elementary School. Ashton was dominant in Eastwood, winning all fi ve of the polls at Wapanohk Commun-ity School. The only poll that Bindle won outside of Thompson was at Paint Lake.

Other than the five Wapanohk polls, Ashton only won three other polls in Thompson (one each at Riverside, Juniper and

Burntwood) as well as one mobile poll. Outside the city, he won all three polls in Split Lake and Buniboni-bee Cree Nation, both polls in Wabowden, as well as the polls in York Landing, War Lake First Nation and Thicket Portage.

Liberal candidate Inez Vystrcil-Spene won only a single poll, in Pikwitonei, where she received 11 votes to 10 for Ashton and six for Bindle.

Advance polls in Thomp-son also went Bindle’s way, while Ashton took

all advance polls outside of Thompson with the exception of Paint Lake, which went to Bindle, and Pikwitonei, which went to Vystrcil-Spence.

Almost 85 per cent of Bindle’s 1,712 votes over-all were cast in Thompson polling stations, where he received a total of 1,447. Ashton received 1,047 votes in Thompson, about 70 per cent of his overall total of 1,527.

Bindle didn’t receive a single vote from polling stations in York Landing

and Thicket Portage and received only two votes in War Lake First Nation and eight votes in Buniboni-bee Cree Nation at Oxford House.

Turnout in the Thompson electoral district was 37.36 per cent.

Paint Lake, where 147 out of 247 registered vot-ers cast ballots on election day or in advance polls, was the only poll in the district where more than half of voters turned out, with about 60 per cent of regis-tered voters casting a ballot.

Bindle’s edge among Thompsonvoters got him elected as MLA

LARRY JAMES MORRISSEYIt is with great sadness to announce the sudden passing of Larry James Morrissey. Larry peacefully passed away on June 18, 2016 at the age of 68 years and one day at the Yorkton Regional Hospital surrounded by family. Larry is survived by his loving wife Marlene, son Trevor (Teena) daughter Tracy (Chris) and grandchildren (Kaitlyn, Tia, Tarin and T.J.), brother Wayne (Jenine), sisters Lynda (Mevlin) Doreen (Barry) and numerous nieces and nephews. Larry was pre-deceased by his parents Murrell and Hazel Morrissey; sister Sharon Anderson (Arthur).Larry was born on June 17, 1948 in Herbert, SK. He attended school and was raised in Chaplin, SK. Larry moved to Thompson, MB in October 1968 with his best friend Eric Burnside to pursue a career with INCO. It was in Thompson where he met the love of his life, Marlene. After a year with the “plant” he changed careers going to work with Rapid Cleaners traveling the north. In 1986 Larry went into partnership with Harry Nakano and purchased Rapid Cleaners.Larry never lost his sense of family making sure he was always available to help with Barry’s farm or visit Chaplin to see his sisters, and parents. While in Chaplin he could always be found with brother in law Arthur enjoying a beer on the golf course.Larry’s commitment to his community showed when he joined Thompson Fire and Emergency Services as an auxiliary fi re fi ghter. Larry spent 18 years with the fi re service giving countless hours of volunteer time to his community. After Larry left the fi re service he made every effort to stay connected with the new fi refi ghters, and always spoke highly of the fi re service as it was always in his heart.Larry enjoyed golf, bbq’s, gardening, fi shing, spending time with his grandchildren, softball and emphatically cheering on the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who he was able to watch in person with his son when they brought the grey cup home in 2013.Larry will be sadly missed but always remembered for his bright smile, and witty personality.The family would like to thank the staff of the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, especially Dan for their compassionate and professional care of Larry during his fi nal hours.Funeral Services will be held at the Memorial Gardens in Yorkton July 2, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Tributes and condolences can be made at www.baileysfuneralhome.comA second service will be held in Thompson July 6. Time and place will be made available in coming days.

CorrectionThe article “Utilities board hears three objections to city’s sewage treatment plant funding plan” and the

editorial “Public Utilities Board faces tough decision on sewage treatment plant funding,” which appeared on Page 2 and Page 4, respectively, of the June 22 Thompson Citizen, mistakenly identifi ed the June 16 public hearing held in Thompson as having been conducted by the Public Utilities Board when it was, in fact, the Municipal Board. The Thompson Citizen apologizes for the error.

The Home Routes tour is currently in its summer lull until September for the program’s 1oth Canada-wide anniversary. But be-fore the tour can return to Thompson, Home Routes must fi nd a new host, and soon: Home Routes is wrapping up its touring arrangements, and hopes to have their booking pub-lished in the second half of July. If you’re interested in the opportunity, do not hesitate.

This year’s concerts were hosted by Linda Toews in her home on Wekusko Street. While plenty of people wanted to help with organizing the events, none of the or-ganizers were able to host this year. Herself a big fan of house concerts, Toews stepped in for the season to keep the program open for another season. “I fi rst heard about the concerts through the library, and

thought, ‘How great is this to have live music from such talented musicians!’ Some just melted my heart with their passions and incredible sounds.”

Hosting a Home Routes season isn’t for every-one. The most obvious requirement is space, for both performers and audiences: Home Routes suggests there should be enough room for a “stage” of roughly four by six feet, as simple as an area rug, or as elaborate as a literal stage.

For the audience, Home Routes recom-mends enough space for roughly 30 people to comfortably, simply, move around. Of course, this is just a guideline: “The fi rst concert was quite over-whelming with just over 35 guests,” said Toews. “Then it dropped to 20-ish for the other concerts, which is a better number for the size of my home.” Outdoor venues are not

considered an option, due to weather concerns, as well as acoustics: as most artists carry acous-tic instruments with small amplifi ers, sound is quick-ly lost to the outdoors and among the noises of the crowd.

While many of your Home Routes audience members will be friends, family, and friends of friends and family, this will not always be the case, and inviting up to 20-some strangers into one’s home is no doubt one of the more daunting aspects of Home Routes. But like the artists, Toews assures that guests were as well-behaved as the artists: “The guests were all very respectful of being in another person’s per-sonal space, and helpful in terms of offering to help clean up. And concert at-tendees also brought deli-cious snacks.”

Home Routes is a labour of love: artists collect

100 per cent of the rev-enue from that evening, and hosts are expected to provide a bed, dinner and breakfast for their guests. For those that are prepared, however, the experience is a rich one. Hosts are always sent one of the artist’s CD’s prior to their arrival, but nonetheless, Toews said she was always curious to learn more when her guests arrived. “The musi-cians were all quite di-verse, from a couple with a young child to a man in his late 60s or 70s,” she said. “The chance to be able to converse and share supper with new friends is really quite rewarding,” said Toews.

If you’re interested in taking the torch from Toe-ws, you can reach out to the Home Routes offi ce at 204-480-3380 or toll-free at 1-866-925-6889. For more information you can also visit their website at www.homeroutes.ca.

Editorial

Solihull, England — There are both tears and cries of jubilation this morning across the United Kingdom. More than 17 million Brits (about 52 per cent of voters) have cast ballots in favour of leaving the European Union and charting a whole new path for the country’s future. I can certainly understand why so many Britons have chosen to fl ee from the sway of Brussels. It would seem that EU governance has evolved into a form of distant “unelected govern-ment” that has taken sover-eignty away from its mem-ber nations. And Britons especially don’t like that; never have – and never will.

Most hate the plethora of rules and regulations imposed by the EU bureau-cracy. They believe the U.K. should chart its own destiny and Britons will be the bet-ter for it, both economically and socially. They believe that if rules are set, they should be put in place in London, not in far-off Brus-sels. It is, of course, not all that simple – noble perhaps,

but hardly a goal to be achieved overnight. Britons will now have to maneuver their way out of the EU over the next few years and have accepted there will be some rather dark days ahead. How it all pans out is any-one’s guess at this stage of the game.

It is by all measure a “courageous decision” one can only hope will eventu-ally be shown to be the right one. But it’s not going to be easy; membership for the past four decades is a com-plex web of agreements and entanglements that cannot be wished away with the passing of a magic Brexit

wand. There will come times when some Britons will wonder “just what have we won?” Some will believe they made a big mistake; others will urge doubters to consider “the longer game” – and Britain will rise again to its former greatness from this “Independence Day” decision. I hope they are right, but getting there will take time and hard work requiring all U.K. politicians to accept that “the die has been cast” and instead of bickering about the past, they must work together.

And we now know PM David Cameron, the leader of the “remain” campaign, will not carry the torch in negotiations for extraction of Britain from the EU. He is stepping down in Octo-ber, essentially passing on the job to someone with fi re in their belly for leav-ing. And while that leader is unknown to us, Brexit lead campaigner and for-mer London mayor Boris Johnson might end up tak-ing on this job and sitting in the big chair at 10 Downing Street. (It is a circumstance

that has been the twinkle in his eye from the very fi rst day that he stepped up to lead the Brexit campaign.) And while this British “pol-itical drama” is important, there are even bigger issues at stake arising from Brexit.

Consider that as I write this blog on June 24, 2016, “leavers” in other EU coun-tries are planning their exits with renewed vigour – spurred into action by the U.K. referendum results. And, while it will not hap-pen overnight, it could re-sult in the break-up of Eur-ope – a return to sovereign, independent nations “do-ing their own thing” and perhaps stepping on the toes of their neighbours. The reality is that “little disagreements” amongst sovereign nations can quickly turn into big ones. And when you are not sit-ting together at the same table, communications can break down, positions can become “entrenched” and in the name of patriotism and national pride, bad de-cisions can be made.

That’s the Europe of the

distant past; and we all know the consequences in the 20th century. The dream of a united Europe came after the end of the Second World War, a belief that European countries work-ing co-operatively would give people a chance at a better, more peaceful life. And while this dream got off to a good start, it seems to have been mucked up by a toxic mixture of politics, lust for power and other “human traits” that even-tually destroy noble causes and collapse empires. That’s perhaps what has hap-pened here – and Britons have simply had enough of it. They are doubtful on any chance of meaningful EU reform and have opted to leave the party.

I am not going to write a great deal about Brexit while living in England. I am doing so today because some readers in Canada are asking for my opinion. And in the book that I will as-semble from all my blogs, it’s impossible not to refl ect on this historic event that I would have viewed quite

differently from my perch in Canada. Yesterday as San-dra and I voted at the hall here in Solihull, we both marvelled at how we are here at this time in our lives – and able to cast our ballots in this historic referendum. I will admit the outcome surprised us. We knew it could happen, but it seemed unlikely. Once the “leavers” come down from the high of victory and the “remainers” lick their wounds, the chal-lenge will be to accept what has happened – and make the best of the outcome.

The people have spoken: I wish them nothing but success.

Welcome, summer

Brexit referendum: the morning after

Daniel McSweeney

While there’s some debate about when sum-mer actually begins - on the date of the sol-stice or even earlier on the Victoria Day long

weekend, depending on the climate wherever in this vast country you live - it’s really, really offi cially here in Thompson at about 2:30 p.m. tomorrow when school lets out and the students don’t have to return for what everybody hopes will be the warmest two months of the year.

Notwithstanding the fact that some people - inexplic-ably to those who crave heat - actually say they prefer winter, summer is when many of the memories we hold on to for life, be they of camping expeditions or trips to Disneyland or just spending long, lazy days with friends outside and a looser schedule to adhere to, are formed. When you’re younger, it can seem almost endless, though as you age it often seems to fl y by, especially since most adults don’t have more than a few weeks of July or August off. But that’s part of what makes sum-mer so appealing - knowing that it won’t be around for-ever and that the days actually start getting shorter the very moment that the calendar tells us it’s arrived.

So get out there and enjoy all that the Northern Mani-toba summer has to offer - long hours of daylight, count-less lakes and rivers to explore, the always-popular Canada Day fi reworks display and more. You have only so long to completely enjoy it before back-to-school ads and overnight temperatures steadily creeping down-wards remind you that another autumn and the follow-ing winter to endure are on the distant horizon.

A former R.D. Parker Col-legiate soccer team member achieved a milestone in his latest foray into football when he scored his fi rst goal as a member of the Mani-toba Major Soccer League’s Division 4 Portage Fusion June 14.

Darion Latchman, who made the Trojans soccer team as a twelfth-grader and then went on to play one season with the As-siniboine Community Col-lege Cougars in 2013-154, hadn’t played organized competitive soccer for two years prior to making the Fusion and says his goal - the only one for his team in a 9-1 loss to CCS Sweat Shack - wasn’t anything fancy.

“I still don’t know how I got it in,” Latchman said. “It was two seconds left and I didn’t know and one of my teammates, he missed the ball and I just saw an opening and I just went and I booted it without think-ing and I happened to score. That was pretty much it.”

Although it didn’t make a difference to the outcome, it was nice to spoil the shutout bid at the very least.

“I was just like, if I could blast one past him I’m going to do it so that’s what I did,” said Latchman.

Most of Latchman’s soc-cer experience came as a player and referee in the Thompson Junior Soccer Association, as well as help-ing out on that organiza-tion’s board.

Prior to his only season with the Trojans, the qual-ity of the other players dis-suaded him from trying out.

“I decided, ‘Hey you know what, I’ll make a game-time decision and try out,’ some-thing new,did it and made the team,” Latchman said.

Playing for the Fusion has been an adjustment for Latchman because he is competing against larger and more experienced play-ers and also playing a new position.

“It was a transition going from high school to college and now college to playing men’s and men’s is like a lot bigger bodies, a lot more experience, so it’s been an awesome ride so far,” Latch-man says. “For high school and college I played defen-sive midfi eld but now I’m playing a new role. They have me more on the wing because of my speed. It’s been great. It’s just trying to get comfortable with the new position.”

His new teammates, many of whom played together on other teams or in Winnipeg before, have been welcoming to their northern import.

“Since I’ve been here the team has welcomed me with open arms,” he says, though his Thompson roots were a surprise to them. “They were a little shocked because they thought I was from Winnipeg and then I told them where I was ori-

ginally from. They were kind of like, ‘Whoa, what? What are you doing here?’”

Latchman has family in Portage and between playing and coaching his cousin’s soccer team and working at Canad Inns, he’s keeping pretty busy.

Like many athletes, he isn’t immune to supersti-tion and credits a friend from Thompson with giv-ing him good luck to get his fi rst goal.

“I was actually Snapchat-ting my friend from back in

Thompson and I was kind of wondering what laces I should wear. My boot is all orange and I Snapchat-ted my friend and I’m like, ‘Should I keep my laces or should I change them to purple?’ My friend’s like, ‘Purple, duh,’ so I think a shout out to Joelinn would be ideal. Purple laces were a good choice. That gave me the luck.”

Latchman says it’s thanks to coaches including Nuno Pereira in Thompson and also his coaches at ACC, as

well as his cousins Klinita and Paul, that he was able to fi nd his way onto a men’s competitive team.

“I’m not going to say I’m the best because I’m far from that,” Latchman says. “There’s a lot of better soc-cer players in Thompson or who came out of Thompson that are a lot better than I am. I’m just blessed for the opportunity to be playing soccer.”

The Fusion earned their fi rst win of the season 4-3 over Stonewall June 25.

HEARING:

The Public Utilities Board (Board) anticipates holding a public hearing of an application from Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation (MPI) for approval of rates and premiums for compulsory vehicle and driver insurance as of March 1, 2017. The hearing would take place at the Board’s Hearing Room, 4th Floor, 330 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB (commencing at 9:00 a.m.) on October 13, 2016. A Pre-Hearing Conference is to be convened by the Board in its offices at 9:00 a.m. on June 30, 2016.

RATE IMPACT:

The Corporation is requesting approval for Basic Autopac vehicle and drivers licence insurance rates and premiums effective March 1, 2017, which, if approved, will result in 2% overall change in MPI’s Basic premium revenue (excluding the impact of vehicle upgrades and an increased overall driver and vehicle population). The Corporation is also requesting an Interest Rate Forecast Risk Factor, also effective March 1, 2017, to be developed collaboratively through the General Rate Application process.

Actual vehicle and driver premiums would vary depending on claim and driving experience, insurance use, territory and vehicle rate group. Full particulars, including the rate impact and application, can be found on the Manitoba Public Insurance website www.mpi.mb.ca.

PRE-HEARING CONFERENCE:

Those seeking Intervener status should notify the Board of their intention by applying to the Board Secretary before the now scheduled Pre-Hearing Conference of June 30, 2016. Interveners may be entitled to financial assistance, and the Board’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (Rules) provide the related guidelines, which can be seen at the Board’s website www.pub.gov.mb.ca or obtained on request to the Board, by either emailing ([email protected]), writing or calling the Board Secretary (204-945-2638 or 1-866-854-3698, toll free). Parties wishing to submit a brief or to express comments at the hearing should also contact the Board Secretary.

Applicant: Manitoba Public Insurance CorporationGENERAL INFORMATION:

Interested parties should take note that the Board does not have jurisdiction over the MPI lines of business denoted as Extension or SRE, or as to MPI’s Driver and Vehicle Licensing operation.

Persons seeking further information as to MPI’s application, or with respect to the Board’s process, and/or wishing to address the public hearing in French should notify the Board Secretary by August 26, 2016. As well, interested parties may examine MPI’s application and supporting materials, either at the offices of the Corporation or on its website, or the Board’s office.

The Manitoba Ombudsman has recently issued privacy guidelines for administrative tribunals. The Board is mindful of its obligations under those guidelines. Its decisions in respect of the application being considered will be sensitive to the guidelines. Personal information will not be disclosed unless it is appropriate and necessary to do so. However, the Board advises participants that these proceedings are public and that as a result, personal information protections are reduced.

Grade 12 students and badminton doubles partners Paige Krentz and Savannah Szocs were R. D. Parker Collegiate’s athletes of the month for May, selected for their exceptional performance in their fi nal season at RDPC.

Krentz and Szocs have both been playing badminton together since Grade 6, when they fi rst qualifi ed for their elementary teams. Like all long-time friends, they had their falling-outs: for much of their high school years, the two parted ways to compete with different partners. “Once it got really competitive, we started to get mad at each other,” noted Szocs. “But this year, we learned to work together.”

Their co-operation paid off, clearly: the duo fi nished their year with victories in zones (hosted in Thompson at the end of April), and continued to provincial championships in Winkler on in early May, where they placed fi fth.

Szocs and Krentz will both be pursuing bachelor of science degrees at the University of Manitoba next year, though neither are sure that they will continue to play badminton in their university years. Szocs for one likely won’t have the time: at the end of her schooling, she hopes to be a surgeon. Krentz is less certain, but no less determined.

Joining Thompson Aboriginal

Accord the right thing to do

It’s important for all Manitobans to share in the rich culture of the prov-ince’s Aboriginal peoples, to recognize the role of Indigenous peoples in our history and to strengthen relationships with them. That’s why our new gov-ernment offi cially partnered with the Thompson Aborig-inal Accord last week, and appropriately on National Aboriginal Day.

This ground-breaking agreement, established on June 21, 2009 with

the involvement of the Thompson Urban Aborig-inal Strategy, is founded on the City of Thompson’s acknowledgment of Ab-original peoples, history and traditions in the way they have enhanced and shaped this community and its surrounding area. First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples have, through the accord, received the recog-nition and respect they de-serve in defi ning Thompson and this northern region.

I was honoured to attend

Aboriginal Day celebrations at MacLean Park and an-nounce the partnership in the accord on June 21 here in Thompson, officially adding our new Manitoba government as a partner to the impressive and growing list of organizations that have affi rmed their com-mitments to strengthening ties with Aboriginal gov-ernments and peoples.

Our government’s Yes! North initiative has put a priority on sustainable natural resource develop-ment and tourism, to create quality jobs and a strong-er economy in Northern Manitoba.

Becoming a partner in the Thompson Aboriginal Accord is not only a key step in our government’s commitment to improving economic opportunities

for Indigenous peoples throughout the region as part of Yes! North, but it’s the right thing to do.

We’re also speaking with Indigenous lead-ers to build a framework for meaningful Crown-Aboriginal consultations, and have adopted the Path to Reconciliation Act as a formal way to advance reconciliation.

We can come together in the spirit of reconciliation by honouring and cele-brating the culture and contributions of Aborig-inal peoples in northern Manitoba. Our Manitoba government is working in partnership with Indigen-ous peoples and commun-ities to build respectful re-lationships that will ensure a bright, inclusive future for us all.
