Ch’ng upsets
in Northwood
M U N I C I PA L E L E C T I O N
By Jodi Lundmark – TB Source
urrounded almost entirely by incumbents who retained their seats Monday,
Shelby Ch’ng stands out as a fresh face in
council chambers.
While former at-large councillor Frank
Pullia won the seat vacated by mayoral
candidate Ken Boshcoff, Northwood rookie
Ch’ng was the only contender to successfully
take on an experienced opponent.
“I’m shocked,” said Ch’ng in council
chambers Monday evening after learning she
would be replacing Mark Bentz as
Northwood’s councillor.
“It’s unbelievable and I am truly humbled
and honoured to be here and to have this
opportunity in my city that I love so much.”
The 31-year-old entrepreneur handily beat
Bentz with 2,157 votes over the incumbent’s
1,639.
She attributes her win to a desire for
change, specifically bridging the generational
gap around the council table.
“They want to close the gender gap. They
want to close the age gap on council and I’m
the candidate. I’m the person who stepped
forward and said �yes, I’ll do it’ and here I
am,’ said Ch’ng.
Despite incumbents easily reclaiming their
seats in most other wards, it came down to
the wire for the Westfort race, with Joe
Virdiramo edging out Frank Scarcello by a
mere 45 votes.
“It was really nerve-wracking and a fingerbiting thing. However, I did come ahead and
I thank all those people who supported me,”
said Virdiramo shortly after the victory was
made official.
“I would have wished I had a higher
number. However, the people spoke and put
me back in and I know that they won’t be
disappointed with the work I’m going to be
doing in the next four years.”

Virdiramo believes his support for the
proposed event centre may have been the
cause of the tight race since many people in
Westfort voiced their opposition.
He also acknowledged his running mates
Scarcello, Beatrice Metzler and John Radl
for their campaigns.
“They worked hard and I congratulate them
for doing that and unfortunately, I am the
winner,” said Virdiramo.

said.
Neebing was reclaimed by Linda Rydholm
with 58 per cent of the votes over challengers
Geoff Abthorpe and Austin Haner.
Rydholm, who has been the Neebing representative on council for 14 years, said the
people in her ward know her and she feels
the vote reflects they believe she represents
them well.
“I always go door-to door. I go partly of
course to present myself but also to learn

heard that residents are concerned about high
taxes and that big projects are taking priority
over spending at the neighbourhood level.’

Andrew Foulds easily won the Current
River seat for a third time, claiming nearly 65
per cent of the vote.
“I am humbled by the level of confidence
that the residents of Current River have in
me, I’m humbled by the amount of trust they
put in me and I certainly don’t take that for
granted,” Foulds said.
Brian McKinnon won the Red River Ward
for a third term with 3,341 votes, besting
David George Noonan, who pulled 2,072
votes.
McKinnon said he’s humbled and has
nothing but thanks for the people of the ward
for giving him an opportunity to continue
doing the work he’s been doing with council.
“The people have given me their confidence and said �OK, do it again,’” he said,
adding he feels strongly council has been
going in the right direction and making good
decisions as a strong team.
McIntyre Ward was won by incumbent
Trevor Giertuga with almost 43 per cent of
the vote.

Hobbs wins again
Incumbent mayor outpaces Boshcoff, Judge for victory

eith Hobbs remains this city’s
mayor.
The incumbent remained conservative, wanting to wait until all the
polls were in before admitting
victory over at-large councillor and
former mayor Ken Boshcoff and
retired city hall reporter Shane Judge.
Hobbs’ 14,463 votes was enough
for 38.9 per cent of the vote.
Boshcoff had 12,051 votes and
Judge took 9,531.
The mayor delivered an emotional
speech, tearing up several times as he

the people struggling in Thunder
Bay.
“We’re going to beat down crime.
We’re going to look at poverty, we’re

MUNICIPAL ELECTION
By Jodi Lundmark – TB Source
ccording to the at-large winners of
Monday night’s election, the people have spoken and are saying they’re
satisfied with the direction council has
taken the city the past four years.
All four incumbents running were
re-elected Monday taking the top four
slots with former at-large councillor
Frank Pullia taking the seat vacated by
Ken Boshcoff who took a shot at the
mayor’s seat this election.
Rebecca Johnson said she felt good
winning a seat at the council table for
a fourth term.
“It makes me feel the work I have
done to date is accepted by the
community. I’m very active and so the
community has said the work that I
have done is being recognized.
Therefore, from that one can feel
positive that what you’re doing is the
right thing for the community,” she
said.
A
“The numbers communicate that.”
Johnson pulled in 14,620 votes to
rank third in the at-large race. Iain
Angus topped the list with 15,861
votes followed by Larry Hebert with
14,664 votes. Aldo Ruberto received
14,311 votes and Pullia rounded out
the top five with 14,112.
Angus said he’s honoured the people
of Thunder Bay felt highly enough of
him to elect him for a fourth term.
“I think it’s very clear from tonight’s
results that people are very satisfied
with the direction that council has
been taking the community, that they
want the vast majority of council
members back so that we can keep
doing what we’ve been doing,” he
said.
“I’m very pleased with that.”
Ruberto said he believes the majority
of residents know what’s going on
with the city and the people with
negative views are in the minority.
“Let’s respect what the people have
said. They said keep doing what we’re
doing,” he said.
“When you see so many people
getting back in, it tells you people are
happy with what’s going on contrary
to what people have been trying to say.
They’ve said we believe in the future.
We believe in this council. They know
there’s a great future ahead for this
city.”
In the last municipal election, Pullia
threw his hat into the mayor’s race but
came in third. He said he learned more
from losing than winning.
“You look at things from a different
perspective. One thing you learn is
never to become complacent, to listen
to the people. We are here to represent
them,” he said.
Pullia is ready to rejoin council’s
ranks and says they have a lot of work
ahead of them.
“I look forward to working with my
fellow councillors in moving Thunder
Bay forward,” he said.
Hebert couldn’t be immediately
reached for comment.

Long lines blamed for lengthy results delay
M U N I C PA L E L E C T I O N
By Jamie Smith – TB Source
he city is blaming a last-minute
rush to the polls for delays over
municipal election results.
City clerk John Hannam said
everything was running smoothly
until the last hour before the 8 p.m.
close when a few polls saw a rush,
T
delaying results by more than an
hour and a half. People complained
of long lines at the polls and
reported that some potential voters
left frustrated without even casting
their ballots. Some polls stayed
open until 8:30 p.m. to try and
accommodate the rush.
"Everybody decided to come at
the last minute," Hannam said.
Some cities, including Toronto,
had already declared winners
before Thunder Bay's first results
rolled in. Mayor Keith Hobbs said
the delay felt like Game 7 of a
Stanley Cup hockey game. The city
needs to find a way to speed it up.
"This is a horrible process. We're
hearing people have been turned
away at the polls," he said.

Opposition
a little flat
he public has spoken and once again
there won’t be much change at city
hall.
With Shane Judge leading the charge,
the anti-event centre vote failed to materialize in any great numbers.
Judge’s message to stop the $114million project, which dominated this
year’s municipal election, was heard by
about a quarter of the electorate, but led
him to no better than a third-place finish,
some 13 percentage points and 4,932
votes behind the incumbent Keith Hobbs.
Hobbs made no bones about his
support for the project, though like most
candidates who backed it, said it won’t
happen if the provincial and federal
governments don’t come to the table with
the lion’s share of the cost.
A vocal – and clearly in the minority –
contingent railed for months against the
event centre, its impact on the city’s
bottom line, and more importantly, the
added taxes they said residents will be
forced to pay.
Once the results came in, with the
exception of Westfort, those who stood
firmly against the project were mere
afterthoughts.
Judge finished third. In the at-large
race, Ed Hailio, Wolfgang Schoor, Ian
Convey and Kim Coreau captured four
of the five lowest vote totals.
The win doesn’t give carte blanche to
the next council to build the facility. But
it gives them a clear mandate to continue
down that road.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Curfew supported
To the editor:
community forum hosted by the
CBC at Confederation College in
early October focussed on building
bridges between Indigenous and nonIndigenous peoples. The Respect
campaign adopted by the City was
mentioned as a positive strategy to
bring us together. The challenge is
putting into action the understanding
and compromises required to resolve
differences and divergent lifestyles so
that we can work together towards
shared goals and get along.
One case in point is curfews rejected
by city council in 2011 at the recommendation of the crime prevention
council. The arguments presented
centred on their ineffectiveness to
prevent crime, even though they are
already part of our legal system to
enhance public safety.
First Nations education authorities
on the other hand have adopted
curfews for their high school students’
safety while studying in our community. Families back home want to be
assured that their children are not
roaming around city streets late at
night. And boarding parents who are
kind and generous enough to house
the students rely on curfews to have
them indoors at specified hours.
In the light of the city’s Respect
campaign, we feel that First Nations
that are proactive by adopting curfews
should have been consulted before the
idea was rejected.
With the number of Aboriginal
students who have died while
attending school in Thunder Bay, their
perspective on the matter should be
considered and respected.
It is unlikely that First Nations will
go along with the city’s decision and
abandon curfews unless alternative
solutions are offered to guarantee the
safety of their young students who
must leave home and come here for
high school.
Hence this call for the new city
council to revisit the issue and reconcile with First Nations school
authorities and parents who need help
to keep their children safe.
We need to show that our community cares about protecting
unsupervised minors at night, and
shares some responsibility over the
wellbeing of Aboriginal boarding
students living in our city.
The Regional Multicultural Youth
Council (RMYC) supports curfews in
line with the Child and Family
Services Act. We wrote to the Ontario
Attorney General for guidance, and
the response was as follows: “With
regard to a curfew by-law, the establishment of by-laws is the
responsibility of the local municipality subject to the Municipality Act
and other statutes that may apply to
municipal by-laws. I would suggest
A
that you continue to pursue this matter
with the Thunder Bay Council and
municipal staff.”
Therefore, we feel that city council,
crime prevention council, Thunder
Bay Police Service/Aboriginal
Liaison Unit, and other stakeholders
should consult with the First Nations
and boarding parents, and come up
with a mutually agreed plan for
keeping �visiting’ students safe.
In spite of negative experiences with
residential schools, First Nations
continue to send their children away
to study. They value education as
investment for progress and prosperity
into the future, and want equitable
funding and control to improve the
outcomes.
Social development studies confirm
that the quality of life and standard of
living improve with every year of
schooling completed. Graduates
contribute to the economy and are role
models of success by breaking the
cycle of welfare, poverty, despair,
addictions and criminality.
Corrections Canada statistics reveal
that 80 per cent of young offenders in
federal institutions have below grade
10 education, and 65 percent have less
than Grade 8.
In addition to the pain, mental
anguish, physical damage and lost
production caused by crime, we also
pay heavily to lock people up.
According to the 2013-2014 Office of
the Correctional Investigator’s report,
it costs $117,788.00 on average to
keep a male offender in custody, and
$211,618.00 per year for a federally
sentenced woman inmate.
Individuals requiring such expensive
institutional care can be greatly
reduced if we work together and
implement measures that improve the
academic success and safety of all
children and youth.
Each one of us can play a role by
welcoming and supporting Aboriginal
students migrating to the city to make
them feel accepted and lessen the
culture shock. They need homes to
stay, help to learn urban lifeskills and
acquire social etiquette, empowerment to resist negative influences, and
compassion to heal from addictions.
Many suffer from the intergenerational trauma of residential schools
which feeds into stereotypes, prejudice, racism and discrimination. This
requires empathy and our encourage-
ment to enable them to follow their
academic dreams and realize their
goals.
The RMYC has developed a reception and orientation program for First
Nation students to ease transition to
city life. We run a peer-led afterschool program at Dennis Franklin
Cromarty High School where we plan
and organize together extra-curricular
activities that promote healthy
lifestyles and wellness. We are also
working with boards of education to

Getting on with things
Will the prime minister use fear as a campaign tool?
By J.R. Shermack
Special to TB Source
was waiting for my takeout order
in a local restaurant the other day
when I got into a conversation with
the lady at the till.
The restaurant wasn’t busy so we
had a few minutes to discuss world
affairs.
It was no surprise that the
tragedies in Montreal and Ottawa
were on our minds so we talked
about that in a calm, Canadian way
without being fearful or angry.
We covered every angle of the
story – the victims, the assailants,
the rescuers, warning signs, mental
illness and the root causes of these
two tragedies.
We did it in less than five minutes
with respect and without fear and
by the time my order was ready we
were both happy to get on with our
Canadian lives.
It’s a crime and a shame what
happened but this is no reason to
change who we are or what we
believe.
Apparently that view is not
shared by everyone.
In fact, now that some time has
passed there is a sinking feeling
across Canada that we have already
overreacted with a knee-jerk
reaction, fueled by raw emotion
alone.
As I listen to bold statements
made by our prime minister I am

By Matt Vis – TB Source
fter a brief period of uncertainty this year’s
Habitat for Humanity home build is back on track.
Nearly two months after the organization announced
they would likely have to suspend the build, work is
ongoing at their duplex on Hodder Avenue.
Habitat for Humanity Thunder Bay CEO Diane
Mitchell said a February move in date for the families
is being targeted with exterior work expected to be
completed within the next couple of weeks.
“We are back at it full pin and making great
progress,” Mitchell said. “Once we’re winterized
we’re good for the snow to fly and then we’ll be
working in the house to finish that.”
In September the organization had publicly said the
build would likely have to be pushed back due to a
funding shortfall.
Mitchell said they needed about $75,000 to resume
the project and build the home for the two families,
who have seven children between them.
“It was absolutely shocking beyond my wildest
expectations that we would have enough money to be
able to finish it that quickly,” she said.
“To see two people step forward and provide all the
money was unbelievable. It was amazing and makes
you believe in miracles.”

GOT THE CASH: Habitat for Humanity needed $75,00 to
resume this house build on Hodder Avenue.
Mitchell said the funding issues were primarily as a
result of a perfect storm of the project being a duplex,
expansion of the ReStore and a decrease in the success
of two of their primary fundraisers.
The organization is planning to continue with the
annual tradition again next year, with a build in the
works on Finlayson Street.

Weapons seized
wo male suspects have been arrested
after a domestic situation turned into a
brief standoff Saturday afternoon.
City police officers responded to an
apartment building on the 400 block of
Vickers Street North after receiving
reports of a woman being confined against
her will in a unit, arresting a 25-year-old
man and a 16-year-old man after resolving
the situation and finding a gun with
ammunition.
Police were first alerted to the incident at
about 2:30 p.m. after an anonymous male
called 911. Officers first responding on
the scene were unable to reach anybody
inside.
As negotiators tried to make contact
with people inside, a 16-year-old outside
the scene was identified as a resident of
the apartment and was arrested.
The Emergency Task Unit entered the
apartment shortly after 4:30 p.m. and
found the 25-year-old along with an 18year-old woman, with both claiming to
have been asleep.
Investigators determined the woman
was a victim of domestic violence.
A subsequent search of the apartment
resulted in the discovery and seizure of a
rifle and ammunition.
Both suspects have been charged with
unauthorized possession of a firearm,
careless use of a firearm, and possession
of a prohibited device. The 25-year-old is
also charged with one count of forcible
confinement and assault.

Infant death ruled medical
Police investigating the disposal of body found near Neebing River
POLICE
By Jodi Lundmark – TB Source
olice say an infant, whose body was discovered on the city’s southside this past
spring, died from a medical issue.
Thunder Bay Police Service officials on
Monday announced an update into the investigation, which began after an infant’s body
was discovered on the bank of the Neebing
River near Tarbutt Street on May 5.
Ever since the discovery, police have been
trying to identify the infant and the family.
Information from the Regional Coroner’s
Office following a post mortem examination
conducted in Toronto revealed that the infant's
death appears to have been due to medical
causes.
Police aren’t releasing any other information
on the infant, including gender or age.
“Our investigators have been working very
hard to try to sift through all the information
they have and ensure they can come to a
positive conclusion in understanding what
occurred,” said Const. Julie Tilbury.
“When our investigators are trying to sift
through things that are truth and non-truths
they have to have certain information that
only people connected to the situation or have
an intimate knowledge would know and that’s

why we’re holding this information back at
this point in time.”
Police say the disposition of the infant's
remains is a matter that continues to be investigated.
“Because we know this infant died of
medical conditions, that part of the investigation would not deem it to be a homicide.
However, we are still investigating the disposition of the remains of this infant and that is
the part the Thunder Bay police are currently
looking into,” said Tilbury.
The Coroner's office maintains custody of
the infant's remains and hopes to release the
remains back to the family once they are identified.
The Regional Coroner's Office along with
the Thunder Bay Police Service urge anyone
with information about this investigation to
come forward to either party.

Water conference about

THUNDER BAY
By Jamie Smith – TB Source
n idea started by a handful of people
60 years ago is now an important step
in making sure water supplies are safe
across the region.
The Northwestern Ontario Water and
Wastewater Conference is a chance for
more than 200 operators across the region
to network, train and learn about new technology for water systems.
Conference chair Henry Connor, who’s
also a technology management specialist
with the city, said the conference also has
35 booths with suppliers and companies
showing off the latest ways to keep
drinking water safe.
"Any technology that we can use to help
us do that more efficiently and cheaper is
definitely something we're going to be
focusing on," he said during the conference
at the Valhalla Inn.
Operators can also take training courses
at the conference to make sure they’re
certified, something that’s become a focus
since the Walkerton Inquiry.
Walkerton Clean Water Centre training
coordinator Leona Cunningham said
courses were offered on everything from
valve maintenance to monitoring chlorine.
"Making sure that our drinking water
operators have the knowledge, the skills,
the abilities they need in order to operate

Police say four full-patch members in place in city
POLICE
By Jamie Smith – TB Source
olice say it would be a mistake to think
the Hells Angels left Thunder Bay
completely after a police raid in 2006
seized its clubhouse and dismantled their
charter.
Thunder Bay Police Service raided a
Hells Angels clubhouse on Simpson Street
Wednesday morning as part of an ongoing
investigation.
The club doesn't have enough members to
have a Thunder Bay chapter in place, but
police say there are four full-patch
members in the city taking orders from the
gang's Hamilton chapter.
P
Seizures
In January 2006, during a two-year operation dubbed Project Husky, police arrested
27 suspects and seized the Hells Angels'
clubhouse on Heron St.
"Their presence has never gone away but
certainly their numbers have been diminished since Project Husky," executive
officer Chris Adams said.
He couldn't comment on what was
discovered or seized in the raid.
"Really I can't say anything other than
that this is still a very active investigation,"
he said.
Serious business
The Hells Angels are a worldwide
criminal organization Adams said. Police in
Thunder Bay take that very seriously.
"For anyone to let their guard down
regarding the Hells Angels would be a very
serious mistake," he said.
No one was at the clubhouse when the
police raided it Wednesday morning. In the
afternoon men outside were cleaning up the
red and white building. They said there was
some damage, including a broken door and
window and a busted gate.

Contract offer rejected
LABOUR
By Matt Vis – TB Source
labour dispute could be on the horizon at
the city’s grain elevators.
Grain workers at four city plants last Friday
rejected the final offer from the Lakehead
Terminal Elevators Association, the collaborative that represents the three major companies
in Thunder Bay.
United Steelworkers local staff representative Herbert Daniher said a “firm majority”
of the members voted against the offer.
“We’ve notified the employer and asked
them to reconvene meetings as early as
possible, likely Monday,” Daniher said.
“We’re now in a legal strike position,
however the employer is also now in a legal
lockout position.”
Either side can halt work by giving a 72
hour notice to the other party but Daniher
said that still remains a last resort.
He hopes the rejection will trigger further
discussion or third-party assistance.
“We need to go back and revisit the matters
with the assistance of the conciliation and
mediation from the federal government and
we’ll see if we can’t come up with a resolution
to the differences between the two parties,”
Daniher said.
The 230 workers at four of the city’s eleva-

HERB DANIHER: Said a п¬Ѓrm majority of members voted against offer from LTEA.
tors have been working without a contract
since the previous one expired on Jan. 31,
though negotiations had been ongoing for the
past five to six months.
In recent years labour disruptions have been
rare in the local industry as Daniher said job
action hasn’t been taken since 1991.
This has been a record year at the port, due
in large part to an overwhelming harvest in
the prairies last fall as well as a harsh winter
that delayed efforts to move the crop by rail.
Through the end of September more than
six million tonnes of cargo had been
shipped out of the port, with the vast
majority of that being grain. By comparison, there had been nearly 4 million tonnes
shipped out in 2013, which had been
considered a busy year.
Those favourable conditions appear to not
be enough to stop the union from trying to
hold their ground.
Daniher wouldn’t go into detail when
asked for specifics as to what each side was
seeking but made it clear the union was
looking to avoid concessions.
“From our perspective we don’t want to
give anything back. We want to try to move
the matter forward and keep up with the
level of inflation while that’s possible and
try to make some improvements in the
collective bargaining agreement,” he said.
“These are diverse interests that both
parties have and we need to try and find a
contract zone or balancing point to bring a
resolution to it. That’s the objective.”
The affected elevators are the Superior
Elevator, Richardson and the two operated
by Viterra. They combined have a capacity
of nearly 770,000 tonnes.

Bullying cycle can be broken: expert
Barbara Coloroso
says getting to people
when they’re young
best way to succeed
T H U N D E R B AY
By Leith Dunick – TB Source
arbara Coloroso says people have
to be taught to be mean.
“It’s not a natural behavior,” the
world-renowned anti-bullying expert
said Wednesday, after speaking with
students at Agnew H. Johnston Public
School.
“Conflict is, and I showed that to the
kids. But you have to be taught to
discriminate to have a pre-judgment, a
B
prejudice. You have to be taught to
stereotype”
Unfortunately, even today, those
types of behaviours are prevalent in
society, though she holds out plenty of
hope for the young generation, though
parents have to be seen to be standing
up for values and against injustice for
the message to sink in.
“The more our kids swim in a culture
of mean, that we create, the less likely
we are to be able to break this. But the
more we are able to create deeply
caring communities for them to be in,
the less likely they are to target.”
Coloroso, who also spoke to parents,
educators and police during her twoday visit to Thunder Bay, said the
message is starting to get through,
especially to younger students.
“I actually have more hope for them,
because we are seeing collectively
more groups saying no, individuals
saying I care about the young person.”
Coloroso was blunt in her talk, asking
students whether they’d seen or heard
any examples of bullying in the
hallways at school or on the playground closer to home.
Nearly every student raised their
hand.
She taught them the difference
between taunting and teasing, goodnatured fun and bullying. She even
asked what they would do if they saw a
slur painted on a wall.
“One kid said you could paint it. One
kid said you could replace the board.
One kid said he could write he’s not a
jerk. They came up with very creative
ideas. I want them to see they have
agency in their lives. You have the

power in your life to make a difference.”
The students, a mixture of gradeschool and high-school children, were
surprised to learn how mean other kids
can be.
Nicholas Littlefield, a Grade 8
student, said it was nice to learn strategies to combat bullying, though he
readily admitted he hasn’t seen much at
school.
It was an eye-opener.
“I was surprised at how people are so
mean to other children, who then want
to commit suicide,” he said, having just
learned the tragic fate of murdered gay
teenager Matthew Sheppard and about
Amanda Todd, who was bullied online
to the point she took her own life.
Luckily there’s not much bullying at
Agnew H. Johnston, he said.
“I think there’s the little stuff there
would be in all schools, but I think our
school is doing a pretty good job and
we don’t have too much bullying,” the
teen said.
Nicole Walter-Rowan is Lakehead
Public Schools’ program co-ordinator
and helped bring Coloroso to Thunder
Bay.
Walter-Rowan said it wasn’t enough
to teach out of a textbook or an online
module.
“Barbara gave beautiful, very explicit
examples for kids about the things they
do that have an impact on others and
their own ethical well-being, working
with each other,” Walter-Rowan said.
“And they (learned) things that they
can do to ensure they are all
contributing to a positive learning environment.”

Locals tackle global issue
Area farmers team up

field of wheat grown by local farmers
will play a role in combatting global
hunger.
For more than 10 years a group of
farmers have come together to grow the
grain to sell with the proceeds going to the
Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a non-profit
that has been providing global aid for more
than 30 years.
On Saturday a group of volunteers came
together at the 68-acre field just off
Poleline Road to harvest this year’s wheat.
About 15 farmers contributed to this
year’s growth, whether it be donating time
or equipment to till the soil, seed, weed
control or harvesting.
Group spokesperson Christina Mol said
this year’s crop is expected to produce 100
tonnes of grain, which will likely sell for
about $20,000.
This year’s project required extra time
and dedication due to the difficult season.
A slow start to the year and a cool growing
season delayed the harvest by a month.
“It’s been a wet and rainy year so it’s definitely delayed us. Normally this would be
harvested sometime in September and here
we are at the end of October,” she said.
Many farmers are also busy trying to

harvest their own fields as quickly as they
can before the arrival of heavy frost.
Once the harvesting is complete the
wheat will be stored at a local grain
handling facility while it awaits purchase.
The proceeds of the sale will be donated to
the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, where it
will be matched at a four-to-one ratio by
the federal government.
Those funds are used to purchase food
from producers in the areas where it is
needed most. In addition to providing food
it also encourages agriculture in third
world areas.
In the past volunteers have travelled to
Ethiopia to see firsthand the difference
their work makes in helping feed those in
need.
“It goes directly to people who need
food,” Mol said.

essa Soderberg is angry. The visually

enter a store, only to be told her guide dog
isn’t allowed to be there, despite it being
against the law to do so.
“It is very frustrating, even though it’s the
law,” she said on Thursday at the city-hall
launch of the Accessibility Photo and Voice
Challenge.
The challenge, put on by the city’s
Accessibility Advisory Committee, asks
people with a disability to share their experiences through a photo, short video or audio
recording of 30 seconds or less.
“Basically it means we’re going to make
the public more aware of issues around
disabilities, where people feel they are
being disrespected. Hopefully, by
educating people and bringing these stories
to the forefront we will change that and
gain the same amount of respect as everybody else,” Soderberg said.
Scott Garner, the city’s municipal accessibility specialist, said the challenge grew from
feedback the city received after it started its
Respect campaign.

them an opportunity to feel they had a voice

that opportunity to submit as part of the challenge, some entries, some experiences, in

Thunder Bay how they feel about their experiences.”
It’s a learning process, added Garner, who
is also visually impaired.
Seeing is believing, he added, noting once
the public sees how some members of the
disabled community have been treated, they
might stop to think about how they can
change their ways.

JONES
RURAL ROOTS
o, Halloween. All Hallow’s Eve
when the goulies, ghosties, and longleggity beasties get to go bump in the
night. It sure has changed since I became
a rural rooter.
Growing up in Toronto in the 1950s
and growing out trick-or-treating was
fun. How I recall being forced to sit and
eat a supper before being allowed out to
go from door to door seeking Halloween
goodies.
In those days in a residential area,
trick-or-treating was safe. Being the
youngest in a family of four, I dressed up
and went out alone.
So did most of my friends. No one was
mugged or got hurt.
My mother used to buy Halloween
cookies from a bakery and wrap them in
orange napkins tied with black ribbon to
hand out.
Then came the shock of hearing about
evil-doers handing out apples and other
edibles with razor blades in them! No
more Halloween cookies. Only candy
safely wrapped.
I have canvased several neighbours
both local and some originally, like me,
from somewhere else, all of whom agree
that the cut-off age for going out in
costume hollering “Shell out! Shell out!
The witches are out!” was 12.
S
Too old? 
At 13, we were teenagers and supposed
to have outgrown such childish pastimes.
My son, Douglas, wanted to go out last
Halloween at age 13.
Neither my wife, Laura, nor I discouraged him – well, hardly.
We did mention that since we live in
the country and since he can’t yet drive,
and neither of us felt like driving
anywhere but would if he really wanted
to go trick-or-treating.
In years past, Doug would team up
with a friend and either us or the other
kid’s parent would drive them around.
Turns out that none of his friends were
going out.
He relented (whew!) and chose to
watch vintage horror flicks that I’d
purchased instead.
When I first moved to the country back
in ’79, I received several cars and trucks
that disgorged trick-or-treaters.
It would go on non-stop for about three
hours and then taper off to individual
stragglers.
Then I moved down a concession road
to a wee place you couldn’t see from the
road.
I’d carve a pumpkin and leave it at the
beginning of my driveway to let the
ghosts, goblins, vampires, what-haveyou know that they could approach my
log cabin without fear.
On a good Halloween night, I would
get up to 10 vehicles.
I married La Laura. We had our
children and realized that our wee hoosie
was way too small for a family of four.
We moved across the road and had built
our present home.
You can see Casa Jones from the road
even though it is set back a bit but gradually the number of trick-or-treaters
declined.
We’d still set out a jack-o’-lantern at
the end of the driveway and one or two
on the front stoop but I guess the kids on
our road were growing up and not
wanting to drive from rural home to rural
home.
Safety concerns
Concern about safety had become key
at Halloween and our local volunteer fire
department decided to celebrate
Halloween at the fire hall.
They hand our candy and even set off
fireworks.
They encourage folks to come dressed
in costume but if you don’t, it doesn’t
matter.
Perhaps that is why we’ve seen fewer
and fewer headlights driving down
towards our house.
A rural Halloween involves a lot of
driving. Miles and miles are covered
with the driver-parent trying to figure out
if the house at the end of each driveway
is handing out candy.
It seems that fewer and fewer rural folk
are bothering.
Last Halloween, we didn’t receive any
trick-or-treaters. The year before, only
two cars.
So I figure that a rural Halloween has
changed, evolved into a collective affair,
be it the volunteer firefighters hosting a
Halloween party or a community centre
– much safer and you get to see all of
your neighbours’ kids dressed up in one
spot.
Still, I’m going to carve the pumpkin
and have a bowl of goodies albeit much
smaller than in years previous at my
front door just in case.
So Happy Halloween.

HEALTH CARE
By Jamie Smith - TB Source
hen Marcia Hiiro was asked to
volunteer for a new hospital
program, she jumped at the chance.
Volunteering at Thunder Bay
Regional Health Sciences Centre
already, Hiiro was asked to help
out with the Hospital Elder Life
Program, which prevents delirium
and functional decline when
seniors are in hospital.
Volunteers help by assisting with
meals, taking patients for a walk or
W
just visiting. Hiiro said giving back
and seeing the program’s results,
which launched five weeks ago, is
very rewarding.
“I know that when I walk into a
room I’m welcome,” she said. “I
know that when I leave I have a
smile.”
About 40 per cent of all patients
at the hospital are seniors. Interim
vice-president of patient services
Aaron Skillen said HELP, which
started at the University of
Pittsburgh and is widely established in hospitals across Canada,
made sense and shows that the
hospital is committed to senior
patient care.
“It was time to bring this program
to Thunder Bay,” he said.
Coordinator Kelsey Lecappelain
said while the program hasn’t been
running long, cognitive and
physical assessments have shown
improvement between when a
patient is admitted and when
they’re discharged from the
hospital.
“So far the results have been
positive,” she said.

Spooktacular is scary fun

alloween can be many different things
for many different types of people. For
adults and older children it is often about
fright.
But for younger children, it’s simply
about getting dressed up in a fun costume
and indulging in excessive amounts of
candy.
More than 500 kids got a head start on
Halloween and visited the Baggage
Building Arts Centre on Sunday for their
third annual Spooktacular celebration.
Baggage Building co-operator Lorraine
Cull said this year organizers put an
emphasis on creating an atmosphere that
was friendly for the younger children.
“This is our third year doing it and each
year we learn something,” Cull said. “Last
year it was that we needed to gear this
event towards younger ones and make it
gentler and not quite as scary.”
Last year the event had a ghost pirate ship
theme that, while it was fun for older attendees, was too scary for too many younger
ones who were terrified.
This year the theme was space time
travel, with the highlight being an outer
space themed maze in the upstairs level of
the building.
The main level had pumpkin carving as

stations.
The more welcoming environment was
appreciated by Shannon Berlinquette, the
mother of two sons under the age of five.
“I think it’s a very family friendly atmosphere,” Berlinquette said. “They really
liked the pumpkins.”
The event also introduced the October
tradition to those new to North America.
Lincoln Boothe, who accompanied his
son Caleb, did not celebrate Halloween
growing up in Jamaica.
“It’s good seeing it for me,” he said. “I’m
not used to it…I’m still learning about the
Canadian culture.”
Cull said next year organizers are going
to look at having two separate events with
one being more family friendly and the
second providing a little more fright.

The Hours That Remain leaves lasting impression
THEATRE REVIEW
By Linda Maehans - TB Source
ne night the highway to something more adventurous in life
beckoned.
Maybe that something lay just
beyond the horizon; Michelle couldn’t
be sure because the headlights on the
big rig stopping on the side of the road
just for her were far too bright. She
squinted at the cab; took a quick
breath, decision made, and climbed
aboard.
As had Sandra; and Laney; and
Loraine before her; leaving others
who loved them behind without a
wave of farewell; turning instants and
moments in time into final forevers.
Magnus’ presentation of The Hours
That Remain by Keith Barker is a
riveting journey into night: the kind of
darkness no one but a murderer would
wish to encounter. The playwright said
his inspiration for the script came
about in part from news reports
BARRY WOJCIECHOWSKI
O
GLARING DRAMA: The Hours That Remain plays at Magnus Theatre until Nov. 8.
around missing native women and the
“Highway of Tears” out in British
Columbia. The title, The Hours That
Remain, is how Barker’s uncle,
following a death in their family,
described the result for those left to
grieve.
Now and here in this city, a trio of
passionate actors call attention to a
disturbing Canadian reality; pose
hard-to-answer or unanswerable questions to audiences willing to think or
consider beyond the here and now.
The on-stage chemistry between
actors Nicole Joy-Fraser (Denise) and
Jonathan Fisher (Daniel) as a couple
grappling with wearying worry is
tangible. They are in a serious predicament with no answers. Despite their
growing disconnect we are buoyed,
for just moments here and there, by
the flashes of love passing between
them.
Fisher’s down-to-earth Daniel, when
we first meet him, is a combination of
humour and stability. Then we sense
and can see his increasing frustration,
confusion and anger for not being able
to “fix” things. Equally convincing is
Joy-Fraser’s Denise: initially a picture
of normalcy, well maybe only slight
anxiety, we see her shift from concern
to fright to bursts of outright panic.
Throughout Nicole’s strong performance she gives us glimpses of a
mysterious beyond.
Which brings me to the third side of
our talent triangle in this cast:
Michaela Washburn and her repertoire
of different personas so essential to the
storyline. Washburn is in turn a bit of a
maverick or a tough cookie with soft
edges; a young woman with a most
appealing spark; a vulnerable target; a
broken doll; yet also a well of strength
with the ability to bind together a
sisterhood of souls – if one can put it
that way. Nice work, Michaela.
The rest of those forever hours that
remain come to us via the set and
lighting: two window frames hung at
different angles in the air; a lonely
wooden bench below; a blacktop
highway running parallel to the beams
of a hardwood floor covered by whitewash. To this reviewer it called to
mind the translucent surface of a
frozen wintery pond. Kudos to
lighting designer Kirsten Watt for
conjuring for us the eerie and at times
glaring drama of this play.
Directed by Mario Crudo, The Hours
That Remain is on at Magnus until
Nov. 8. But guaranteed it will stay in
your thoughts for many more days,
and nights, after that.

Recycling old
ideas into new
ears ago, I made a comment to a coworker that there is no such thing as a
completely original idea.
He was extremely offended as he was
working on an advertising campaign that
he felt was totally unique and yes, original.
I’m not suggesting that his concept wasn’t
good. It just wasn’t original.
Why? Because everything that we do or
say is a reflection of or influenced by what
we’ve seen or learned over the years.
History’s great artists were influenced by
previous generations. Inventors are
constantly inspired by the world around
them.
Even Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
wasn’t a completely original work. It was
inspired by Arthur Brooke’s poem The
Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet.
And he got the idea from Novelle, which
was written by another poet, Matteo
Bandello, in 1554 … who got the idea
from a story written by Luigi Da Porta in
1530 … who changed the story first (we
think) conceived in the second century by
a man named Xenophon.
It’s the greatest romantic tragedy ever
written. And it’s a knock-off.
But that doesn’t mean Shakespeare’s
version or his words weren’t completely
magical.
It just wasn’t an original production. So
it’s really no surprise that in today’s entertainment industry, remakes of TV series
and movies are becoming more common –
Y
much to the public’s chagrin.
However, reconceiving a beloved old TV
series is a dangerous game. Viewers may
not take too kindly to writers messing with
their idyllic memories.
I don’t know how good Greatest
American Hero really was. But to my
naГЇve 11-year-old brain, it was magic. So
even if it was the TV-equivalent of KLIK,
does it matter?
The biggest hurdle is capturing the power
of the original. How much has to change
to get the same audience reaction? And
given the difference in the audience – we
are, after all, a more jaded and tougher
group to sell – is it realistic to expect the
same response?
More often than naught, the remake fails.
Case in point: Dallas, 90210, The Bionic
Woman, Knight Rider, and V.
Hawaii Five-O with its sexy male leads
and bikini-clad scenery managed to
succeed in grabbing the attention of
modern viewers.
But few who loved the original 1968
series stuck around after the CBS reboot
premiered in 2010.
So now producers are leaning toward
movies for their inspiration. About a Boy
has been a success. And several new
comedies are being peddled based on
Jennifer Lopez’s Monster-In-Law, Tom
Hanks’ Big, and John Candy’s Uncle Buck.
However, movies use a single storyline
that develops the character. TV shows
require multiple stories that allow for
slower character development.
So the transition from movie to television
demands that the audience let go of the
original which is so dear to their heart. But
ironically, that sentiment is exactly why
producers chose a particular remake in the
first place.
Perhaps it’s time to let go and allow
today’s writers to put their spin on old
stories. Because if Billy could do it, it
must be OK. As long as they stay away
from Ralph and his red suit.

Wright opened the scoring on the power
play at the 6:43 mark of the first, one of
four goals the Wolves would score in six
man-advantage situations.
Drew Palmer, who scored a pair on
Friday, tied it less than four minutes later
and then 36 seconds after that Isak

four leads they'd hold on the night. Mike
Hammond tied it at 11:41, but Windsor was

ate goals were the death of the
Lakehead Thunderwolves again.
The Windsor Lancers, in a near carboncopy performance of their Friday night
win, scored with 1:18 to play to tie the
score, then Spencer Pommels netted the
game winner in overtime, securing a 7-6
win and a weekend sweep at Fort William
Gardens on Saturday night.
A night earlier the No. 7-ranked Lancers
scored with 73 seconds to play to tie it,
then Pommels potted the winner with six
seconds to go in regulation.
"I just think we have to bear down a little
bit defensively," said forward Keith
Grondin, who scored once and chipped in a
pair of helpers in the loss.
"We have to start taking more ownership

Late discipline issue
Grondin isn't sure where to place the
blame. The Thunderwolves took three
costly penalties in the final nine minutes of
regulation and twice the Lancers capitalized, including Ryan Green's equalizer
with 78 seconds to go.
But it was more than that.
"The penalties didn't help, but also, you
look at their team too. They were coming
with pressure. I think they kind of put us on
our heels. And they've got some skilled
players as well who can put the puck in the
net and they just capitalized on their opportunities," Grondin said.
Forward Jake Wright scored twice and
called the loss disappointing.
"I think we outplayed them most of the
game. But the last two games we sat back
in the third and they took it to us," said
Wright, a Sault Ste. Marie native who has

three goals in seven appearances.
"It was a tough one. We just fell apart."
Windsor coach Kevin Hamlin agreed it
wasn't the way he wanted to win, but he'll
take the two points.
"It was a real character-building weekend
for us," said the seventh-year coach. "We're
still trying to learn our identity and what
this team is made of. To battle through
some adversity yesterday and win was a
great sign and then again today to do the
same thing, it was a great win for us."

also came on the power play, a blast from
just beyond the top of the circle that
McDonald had no chance to see, let alone
stop.
"It's just the same as last night," said
Lakehead coach Bill McDonald. "We can't
hang our hat on being close and not
winning games. Let's be honest. It's not that
we didn't try. We had enthusiasm, we had
energy. Our special teams were pretty
good. But we were playing against a good
team and at inopportune times we seem to
(take) a penalty or (make) a boneheaded
play and it ends up in our net."
The loss dropped the Wolves record to 34-1, while Windsor remained perfect with a
7-0-0 mark.

FOOTBALL
By Leith Dunick – TB Source
he Churchill Trojans don’t know
the meaning of down and out.
After allowing Liam Fors to race 80
yards for a score in the final minute of
play to give the St. Ignatius Falcons a
24-20 lead in their senior varsity high
school football battle, the Trojans
could have hung their heads and
accepted defeat.
But that’s not the Trojan way.
Matthew Currie set the stage, racing
the ensuing kickoff back 43 yards to
the Churchill 52. Then quarterback
Tallon Morris set to work. One play
later, a 58-yard hookup with Nathan
Lemieux, the ball was on the St.
Ignatius five.
Morris then spotted Scott Lawson
for the winning strike, the improbable
T
27-24 win clinching a playoff spot for
a Trojans team that’s now won four
straight contests.
“When they scored a touchdown
with 50 seconds left, everyone kept
their heads high,” said Morris, who
powered the Churchill win with four
touchdown throws, including a 23yarder to Lawson that opened the
scoring in the first quarter and a pair
of scoring tosses to Brennan
Tienhaara.
“We just battled back. We have high
hearts. Everybody still has hopes that
we can do it.”
The final drive was one to
remember, Morris added.
“Lemieux really stepped up and
really called the play. He was like,
�I’m going to do this,’” Morris said.
“We had five yards left, we had a
play for it and it was a touchdown.”

STRONG FINISH: St. Ignatius running

Clinching the playoff berth was icing
on the cake, he added.
“We started 0-2 and everybody

“We came back with four straight
wins. Even they didn’t see it coming.”
Churchill coach Mike Doromko said
it’s just the kind of roll he wants to see
his squad on, with playoffs only three
weeks away.
He said he wasn’t worried after Fors
scored the go-ahead touchdown.
“The coaching staff, we knew we
were getting the ball back with 51
seconds left. We scored a lot quicker
than we actually thought we would,”
Doromko said. “We had three scripted
plays from that position and the kids
knew exactly what they were doing.”
The two teams played a tight
football game the entire way, neither
side taking more than a 10-point lead.
The first-place Falcons cut into the
Trojans 7-0 lead late in the first when
Ryan Grandell nailed a short field goal
to make it 7-3. Jake Puskas gave St.
Ignatius its first lead early in the
second, bursting over the goal line
from four yards out. But Morris hit
Tienhaara, who went 24 yards
untouched up the middle and the
Trojans retook the lead, which they’d
hold until the final minute of play.
Fors appeared to have scored an 82yard rushing major late in the first
half, but the play was called back
because of an unnecessary roughness
penalty.
After Morris connected once again
with Tienhaara early in the third, St.
Ignatius’s Landon Krebs barreled
through a hole from 10 yards out to
pull the Falcons once again within
three point.
The Fort William Stadium loss drops
the Falcons to 5-2, with one game left
on their schedule. The win improves
Churchill to 4-2.

Vikings hang on to beat Gryphons
Tale of two halves
in junior football
playoff preview
FOOTBALL
By Leith Dunick – TB Source
he Hammarskjold Vikings and
Superior Collegiate Gryphons
already knew they had a date in the first
round of the junior varsity football playoffs.
Thursday’s Fort William Stadium tilt
was a chance for one side or the other to
gain momentum heading into next
week’s win-or-go-home match.
The Vikings drew first blood, scoring a
32-18 triumph, but the Gryphons
outplayed their opponent in the second
half, showing they won’t be a pushover
come playoff time, despite finishing the
regular season with an 0-4 mark.
Hammarkskjold’s Zachery Hynna,
who hauled in a 53-yard reception from
Marti Martinez midway through the
second quarter and later scored on a 54yard punt return to put the Vikings up
23-0 at the half, said it was an important
win for a couple of reasons.
LEITH DUNICK
T
BIG WIN: Hammarskjold’s Hunter Campbell (right) rushes with the ball Thursday.
“Winning this first game definitely
helped us out, coming off a loss. We kind
of got killed by (St. Ignatius). Winning
this game heading into the playoffs, I
think it’s motivated our team even more
than we were before,” Hynna said.
It was a tale of two halves, the Vikings
conquering the first, the Gryphons
owning the second.
Vikings running back Will
MacDonough opened the scoring on a
60-yard run, the lone touchdown of the
opening quarter.
But buoyed by the momentum of
Hynna’s touchdowns, which came 75
seconds apart late in the second quarter,
the Vikings couldn’t carry their strong
play into the second half.
The Gryphons got on the board quickly
to start the third, Caleb Niitynen
charging through the gap from a yard
out, after Sean O’Connor connected with
Brendan Stark on a 31-yard completion
that marched Superior to the Vikings
goal line.
O’Connor found the magic touch again
later in the quarter, aided by a spectacular
one-handed Tyler Russell catch that
added six more to the board, the
Gryphons trailing 23-12.
In the fourth, after the Vikings opted
not to kick a field goal deep within
Superior territory – despite Devon Hoier
already kicking a 43-yarder in the
opening half – the Gryphons made it a
one-score contest.
O’Connor broke free on run up the
middle, evading a pair of Vikings
defenders desperately chasing him
down, scoring on a 100-yard run, the
longest in junior varsity football this
season.
Up by just seven – the Gryphons failed
at a two-point convert for the third time
in the contest – the Vikings put it away
on the next possession, capped by a 39yard MacDonough scoring run.
“That last touchdown was almost a
lifesaver. Superior battled hard. They had
a 100-yard run. Next game, who knows
what’s going to happen,” Hynna said.
Hammarskjold coach Mike Steele said
he was happy with the fast start.
“We were looking to respond to our
tough loss to Ignatius last week. We
started quickly, showed some compete
and saw some adversity,” Steele said.
“Superior competed at a really high
level. We were really content with what
we saw and how the boys responded in
the second half toward the end. Superior
put up a great fight.”
St. Ignatius 37, St. Patrick 6: The
Falcons easily won the battle of the
unbeatens, finishing the regular season at
5-0. Nic Cull ran for 210 yards and scord
from 83 yards and 77 yards out to lead
the St. Ignatius charge. Anthony Valente
also had a 40-yard rushing major.
Sebastian Foglia had the lone touchdown
for the Saints (4-1), a 23-yard scoring
play.
Churchill 29, Westgate 21: Stefan
Nahachewsky had TD runs of two yards
and one yards in another first-round
playoff preview. He finished with 135
yards rushing. The Tigers Cayden
Boucher led all rushers with 156 yards,
scoring on a four-yard run to cap the
scoring in the fourth.
