Wednesday morning by a group of

Thunder Bay Fire Rescue Chief John

Hay said too often the public thinks

Energy crisis could happen in 2015
CITY HALL
By Leith Dunick – TB Source
he Ontario Power Authority is starting to come around, but
Northwestern Ontario could find itself
without enough electricity as early as
next year.
Iain Angus, co-chairman of the
Energy Task Force, says for that reason
alone it’s imperative to convince the
province and its subsidiaries to proceed
with the conversion of the Thunder Bay
Power Generating Station to natural
gas.
Angus and the ETF met Monday with
the city’s Intergovernmental Affairs
Committee, showcasing projections
that suggest running the plant on
biomass will likely leave businesses
and residents in the region facing
T
rolling power outages if the demand
can’t be met.
It’s time to put the gloves on and put
up a good fight, Angus said.
It’s not just a question of maybe, he
added, even with the addition of an
east-west tie line.
“This is when we’re going to run out
of power and this is when we’re going
to need these facilities up and running,”
Angus said.
“It creates a greater sense of urgency
once we look at those kind of
numbers.”
2021 Atikokan will need to produce a
continuous stream of 50 MW of electricity, while the TBGS will be required
to produce 150 MW.
The province has agreed to convert
the Thunder Bay plant to biomass, but
only as a stopgap when power use hits
capacity.
Short-sighted
Dangerous levels
Using ETF projections, should the
region face a drought, an occurrence
that happens roughly every four years
when El Nino strikes, it would not have
the energy needed to meet demand in
2015.
As early as 2016 the region will
require 85 MW of continuous power
from the TBGS and by 2018 the
requirement jumps 300 MW, along
with 200 MW from the Atikokan

Generating Station.
In a best-case scenario, with highwater conditions, the ETF projects by
And, Angus said, the province has
already cut its biomass order in half,
from 15,000 tonnes to 7,500 tonnes.
That’s enough to keep the plant
producing 150 MW of power for 31
days, or 40 MW for 122 days.
Angus says the good news is the
province is starting to come around.
“The first time we met with them
they were suggesting that the load
growth in the Northwest would be
something like 80 MW. We were
saying it was going to be 700, 800 MW.
And they’ve moved significantly and
they’ve moved again in the last goaround,” Angus said.
“But we still disagree with them at
the 2018 and beyond (projection) that
we’re going to need much more power
than they think we’re going to. And it’s
our job to keep hammering at them to
let them know.”
Angus said his urgency to hammer
the message home results from the fact
it will take at least two years to
complete the TBGS conversion to
natural gas.
Next steps involve an economic
analysis of the conversion, a meeting
with Northern Development and Mines
Minister Michael Gravelle and a Nov.
26 presentation to the Northwestern
Ontario Municipal Association.
The ETF is also hoping to meet with
OPG CEO Tom Mitchell when he
makes a public apology to Gull Bay
residents later this month and add the
issue to the Ontario Good Roads
Association agenda.
ETF member Rod Bosch said slowly,
but surely, the OPA is starting to understand.
“They are very begrudgingly admitting we are right,” he said.

HONOURED: People flooded to Waverley Park last Tuesday despite chilly temperatures for the Remembrance Day ceremony.
Sacrifices remembered
T H U N D E R B AY
By Jodi Lundmark, Matt Vis &
Jamie Smith – TB Source
obin Rickards knows he’s lucky
to be alive.
A corporal with the Lake Superior
Scottish Regiment, Rickards served
with the Canadian Armed Forces for
11 years, which included three tours
to Afghanistan.
During the first tour in 2006, he
served with Cpl. Anthony Boneca,
who was killed on July 9, 2006 at
the age of 21, and Rickards said it
was a roll of the dice that determined which battalion they ended
up in.
“Had it been me in Tony’s circumstance, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy
the family I have and the life I have.
I’m very conscious of things like
that on Remembrance Day,” said
Rickards, who attended the
Remembrance Day service in
Waverley Park on Nov. 11
R
Ultimate sacrifice
Boneca was just one of the
Canadian men and women who lost
their lives in conflicts throughout
the last century to be remembered in
last Tuesday’s ceremony.
Waverley Park flooded with
people braving the cold weather to
attend the service and Rickards said
it was great to see people remembering the sacrifices that have been
made on their behalf.
“For me, it’s reinforcement of the
fact the Canadian public values the
service that Canadian Forces
members have done and continue to
do in their honour,” he said.
Second Lieut. Kari Ranta-Ojala
has been serving with the LSSR for
three years and said the turnout
shows how much the community
cares about local servicemen and
women.
“Our community of Thunder Bay
supports its troops and we’ve seen
that through how they look after the
troops when they come home,” he
said.
For himself, the day is about
focusing on what Canadian soldiers
did during all the conflicts
throughout history.
“Their sacrifice allowed us to live
the current life we have now. That’s
something I’m grateful for,” said
Ranta-Ojala.
“They gave us a gift that we can
continue our lives in our lifestyle
and allow Canada to maintain its
freedom and independence.”
Every Remembrance Day
ceremony means a lot to Elmer
Auld but he said this year carries
special significance.
The Second World War veteran
said the recent killings of
uniformed military members Cpl.
Nathan Cirillo, 24, and Warrant
Officer Patrice Vincent, 52, cast a
solemn shadow as people from
coast to coast stop and recognize
the contributions of the nation’s
armed forces.
“It’s a sad thing, these two young
fellows who got killed in the past
month. Just terrible,” Auld said
Tuesday following the annual
Remembrance Day ceremony at the
Fort William Gardens.
“I think it opens people’s eyes to
see what the heck happened years
ago…It really hits your heart.”
At least 2,000 people filled the
stands at the Gardens for the
ceremony, which saluted all of
Canada’s contributions to global
conflict and recognized the individuals who made the ultimate
sacrifice for their country.
Honoured
Frank Banning and John Baptiste
“Sunshine” Louis grew up on Fort
William First Nation doing everything together. When war came
they enlisted together and side-byside stormed the beach at
Normandy on June 6,1944, the last
day of Louis’ life. Banning would
live to 84, passing away in 2010.
And yet there they were side-byside again Tuesday morning during
Fort William First Nation’s
Remembrance Day ceremony,
soaring as eagles over the crowd of
hundreds who journeyed to Mount
McKay to honour First Nations
veterans.
Banning’s daughter Catherine
knew it was the two as soon as the
pipe ceremony, which invites
ancestors in, began.
“To honour us with their presence
and their wisdom and to honour us
with the peace that they bring with
them,” she said.

he Energy Task Force is at it again,
attempting to convince the province

They seem to haave a compelling

According to their figures, in 2017,
the TBGS will need to output a continuous 150 MW supply of electricity, 300
MW by 2018 and full capacity for
months at a time beyond 2020.
The situation gets worse under lowwater conditions.
It sounds like the Ontario Power
Authority is starting to listen to what
the ETF has to say.
But with a two-year window needed
to convert the first unit to natural gas,
time is running out.
Should the ETF’s projections be
remotely close and many of the mines

few years actually do, we could be
facing a crisis.
Yes, it will be expensive to convert

economy by not seeing the conversion
through could be even more dramatic

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Misguided opinion
To the editor:
take great issue with the timing of
J.R. Shermack’s opinion.
Is the point of his opinion to cancel
Remembrance Day, to not make it a
stat holiday for all, or is it just him
reliving his youth and ignorance of the
meaning of the day?
Let me start with his paragraph of
“But now might be a good time to be
mindful about old cliches like Lest We
Forget.”
To reduce that solemn statement to
“an old cliche” not only shows his
ignorance to the plight that veterans
had to endure but also to the families
that lost sons and daughters.
He goes on to make assumptions of
what the mothers and veterans are
thinking on Remembrance Day, both of
which I am sure he is neither, nor has he
bothered to speak to any of them.
The notion of making remembrance
day a stat. holiday for all is the only
wise thing he proposes.
As veterans must return to the work
force not all companies give the
veterans the day off to remember their
fallen.
I do believe it will help him along
with others who are the “benefactors
of the millions of young men who
died to keep us free and preserve our
way of life” to really understand it all,
maybe even learn to respect those who
have served and their choice to answer
the call of duty, not only by their
government but by the millions of
people around the world that can’t or
don’t have the ability to stand up to
the next crazy leader to take over.
Too often we hear of the politicians
that send our troops off to war and
how that is the standard reaction to a
crisis in some far away land.
I had served in the air force for
twenty years and even served on a
peace keeping mission, although I am
called a veteran I don’t consider
myself in the same league as the true
veterans for which the day of remembrance is for. My grandfather served
in the First World War and every year
I think of him and his sacrifice to
volunteer to take up the fight. He
survived the war, but should still be
honoured.
In my opinion J.R. Shermack should
take his freedom (that he doesn’t
understand) and interview some of the
victims of the last 20 years.
Those that have had to endure the
lack of rights and freedoms that
should be afforded to every human
being.
Stop dwelling on the Vietnam war
and pick up a newspaper to see what
the hardship of the human race outside
of our borders are. Better yet, give up
his press pass and passport, move over
to some of the hot spots and live what
they are living.
It saddens me to think that there is

Pointless fun good thing
To the editor:
am writing in response to the article
“Television needs silly, pointless
fun.” (Thunder Bay Source, Thursday,
I
November 6, 2014).
I do not agree. Pointless fun is just
that—pointless. There are no benefits
to be reaped from a lazy brain.
If people need a chance to escape
life and just calm down, why not
read a book?
Reading for even six minutes
reduces stress levels by two-thirds,
more than taking a walk, drinking
tea or coffee, or playing video
games. (Anonymous. “Reading �can
help reduce stress’” The Telegraph
March 30, 2009.)
Or how about listening to music?
I’ve heard from various people and
sources that certain types of music
are good for the brain.
The author of the article had the
idea that silly TV shows could
encourage family watching and
bring families together for a laugh.
If the goal is silly, happy family
time, then it would be much better to
have a family joke night with
everyone contributing their favorite
jokes, or to read a humorous book
out loud together.
This would be more inclusive,
more personal, more relaxing, and
much more likely to build happy
memories than just watching a TV
show—however funny it may be—
together.

Digging for dirt
TOY MOUNTAIN
Sand is the second most consumed resource on Earth
By J.R. Shermack
Special to TB Source
hen I was a kid growing up in
Westfort, sand was a big part
of my life and playing in the sand
was one of life’s pleasures.
Sand came in many forms (boxes,
piles, lots) and most backyards had
an area reserved for young diggers,
scrapers and Tonka truck drivers.
Sometimes we built dirt roads
and raced our toy cars around the
sand pile and some days we would
dig deep holes and fill them with
water.
It seemed like important work at
the time but it never occurred to us
that the stuff we were digging,
moving and throwing at each other
was a valuable resource.
And we never even imagined a
day when all the sand would be
gone and criminals operating
illegal sand mines would kill to
protect their dirt stash.
But believe it or not, that’s
exactly what is happening on
beaches, on the ocean floor and in
river beds all over the world.
I’ve been learning about a global
sand shortage that is driving up dirt
prices and encouraging the dirt
mafia to get involved in illegal
sand mining.
It is also causing ecological and
economic hardship as sandy
beaches around the world are
scraped away illegally and shipped

Veterans awarded
Legion of Honour
THUNDER BAY
By Jodi Lundmark – TB Source
im Crooks’ father didn’t discuss his time
serving in the Second World War often, but
when he did he referred to it as his �great
adventure.’
The late Jamie Crooks, a lieutenant in the
Royal Canadian Navy, and Sgt. Don Bliss of
the Lake Superior Regiment were awarded the
Knight of the National Order of the Legion of
Honour from the Republic of France Thursday
afternoon at the Armoury on Park Avenue.
“For me personally, it’s quite an honour and
it’s been a learning experience because my
father did not talk about his wartime experience to any great extent,” said Jim Crooks,
who accepted the award on his father’s behalf.
Jamie Crooks died in April, but was aware
he would be receiving the award.
France’s government is paying tribute to 49
Canadian veterans who were part of the Battle
of Normandy and the D-Day landings with the
Legion of Honour award as part of their events
commemorating the 70th anniversary of those
campaigns.
While Jamie Crooks didn’t talk about his
experience, his son did say he enjoyed and
valued his naval experience.
“When I look on some of his characteristics
through his life, he certainly acquired some
phenomenal life skills during his time in the
navy. I’m sure he learned a lot of lessons both
from the navy and from the war. I’m sure he
saw a lot of hardship but he was not one to
dwell on any of that,” said Jim Crooks.
“For us as a family, it’s given us cause to go
into some of his memorabilia, to look up some
information in the archives to learn more that
way about his navy experience and his

Bliss was on hand at the ceremony and
accepted the Legion of Honour award from
MP John Rafferty (NDP, Thunder Bay-Rainy

He said it felt wonderful to receive the
recognition, especially with several family
members there to support him, including his
great-grandchildren.
“It was something unexpected,” he said.
For Rafferty, events like this one are

even suspects in two separate homicide investigations appeared in court
Friday morning.
Five of six people charged with seconddegree murder in the violent death of
44-year-old Lloyd Oskineegish on July 18
appeared in person at the Thunder Bay
Courthouse.
Larissa Shingabis, 20; Felton Sakanee,

Mishenene, 21, were all remanded to Dec.
12.
The sixth suspect James Chapais is

remains in a wooded area off of Field
Street in July. It’s alleged Oskineegish was
the victim of a violent assault.
S
All six accused are in custody.
Two people charged in a Canada Day
murder case were also in court Friday and
remanded to Dec. 12.
Carl Spencer Rae, 31, and Becky
Mamakwa, 22, are both facing seconddegree murder charges in connection with
the death of 52-year-old Christopher
Adams, who was assaulted outside of city
hall in the early morning hours of July 1.
Adams died in the hospital on July 8.
At the time of the incident, police said
four people were involved and that robbery
appeared to be the motive.
On Monday, the police said a third
suspect, 26-year-old Kyle Stoney, was
arrested and charged with second-degree
murder in the case.
Rae remains in custody and Mamakwa
was released on bail in September.

Former councillor
Joe Vanderwees dies
OBITUARY
By Leith Dunick – TB Source
ongtime city councillor and
entrepreneur Joe Vanderwees
has died at 84.
Vanderwees first joined council in
June 1978, replacing Taras Kozyra,
who had resigned the Dawson Ward
seat.
Born in the Netherlands,
Vanderwees emigrated to Canada
and set up a successful greenhouse
in Thunder Bay.
He remained on council intermittently until 2006.
"Joe was a kind and gentle man.
Whether on council or at his garden
centre, he was quick to help one out.
Joe will also be remembered as a
strong supporter of the arts. He will
be missed," said Coun. Iain Angus,
who served alongside Vanderwees
from 2003 to 2006.
Longtime councillor Rebecca
Johnson said she considered
Vanderwees a friend, dating back to
their days as trustees on the public
school board.
He was a champion of the education of youth in our community
which then continued into his role
as a municipal councillor. Joe was
a dear friend. We shared many
moments together," Johnson said.
"I remember fondly being a guest
at his 80th birthday party and his
sharing of times together. He was a

true gentleman and cared about his
community. His singing of the
National Anthem at many public
occasions showed his love of his
new adopted country.
Johnson said aside from his
family, his love of Thunder Bay was
equalled only by his love of his
family business.
"The time and commitment he
gave to his business knows no
bounds as Vanderwees Greenhouses
is one of the outstanding local busi-
nesses who looks at innovation and
creativity. We were fortunate to
have a man of his calibre in our
community, committed to its future
and its people. I was proud to call
him a friend," she said.
Neebing Coun. Linda Rydholm
said Vanderwees always put others
first.
"Joe Vanderwees was a sincere,
caring individual -- always trying to
do what was best for the people of
Thunder Bay."

akehead University president
Brian Stevenson says running a
university these days is definitely a
balancing act.
On the one hand, students need the
latest and greatest technology and
tools to enter the workforce with the
best possible education in their back
pockets.
But someone’s got to pay for it and
the fiscally challenged province is
constantly looking for ways to cut
spending, including for postsecondary education.
“I think it’s a balancing act because
we have to try to fulfill a lot of
different needs with a lot of
constraints,” Stevenson said on
Thursday, before delivering the

report to the community at an oncampus breakfast gathering.
“As you know, we are trying to reach
out to the community with programs
that are going to be connected to the
economy and try to help support and
create jobs, while at the same time we
have financial constraints and challenges that we have to face.”
School officials estimate Lakehead
has a $318-million economic impact
from its operating expenditures alone
on the local economy.
The school received $22.7 million in
research funding in 2013-14 and
listed capital assets worth $303.3
million as of April 30, up more than
$12 million from the year prior.
The university brought in $177
million in revenue in 2013-14, $57
million of which was attributed to
student fees. Total revenue was about
$14.7 million more than it spent,
double the profit the school made a
year ago.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t challenges, says chairman of the board
Murray Walberg.
“We understand there are headwinds
in front of us, with government
funding, with the demographics of an
aging population. But they’re exciting
(times) because I think the university
is really responding to those challenging times with a really
inspirational strategic plan which
talks about how we can make tough
choices and grow our university,”
Walberg said.
Part of the growth will be reaching
out internationally for new students
and inward, seeking more Aboriginal
youth.
Not all the news is good, Walberg
acknowledged.

School gets
new books
E D U C AT I O N
By Leith Dunick – TB Source
hannon MacLeod loves to read. She also loves to inspire reading in others.
On Friday she joined classmates at Chapters, helping younger
students at Hyde Park School choose books that will be donated to
the school library through Indigo’s Love of Reading Foundation.
“I think it’s important because it’s good to read to kids so they
get used to reading and pick out the books they like,” the 12-yearold said.
The youngster developed her own love of reading at a young
age, after being read to for many years.
“I really like reading now,” she said, taking a quick break from
reading a story to six-year-old Emily Gernat, her book buddy at
the south-side school.
“I ask them what kind of books they like to read and who they
like to read. She wanted to pick out Frozen, because she likes
Frozen.”
Emily said she likes books of all kinds.
“I like them because sometimes they’re creative,” she said.
The idea of picking out some books to restock the library was
pretty cool too, Emily said.
“Sometimes we need good books,” she said.
Twelve-year-old Isabella Badanai said showing younger
children good books is the best way to convince them that reading
can be fun.
“Then as they get older they can get better at reading and as the
years go on they can get into great books to,” she said.
Hyde Park School teacher Susan Lieske said reading is everything for students at her school.
They’ve been talking about Friday’s field trip for weeks.
“The kids are so excited to come here and pick out books that
are just right for them and things that they’re excited about for our
school.
“For them to have their own choice on topic and genres – and
we talk about that in the school a lot – and for them to have that
interest in literacy is a big deal.”
It’s also a chance for students to leave a legacy, she added.
Since 2004 the Love of Reading Foundation has donated more
than $17 million to 1,600 schools, including Ogden and
Sherbrooke public schools in Thunder Bay.

hristmas is a joyous occasion for
most children.
But for Thunder Bay’s most impoverished the holiday is a stark reminder
they’re among the city’s have-nots.
Parents have to choose between
keeping the heat on, a roof over their
heads or putting food on the table. Toys
aren’t even part of the equation in many
households.
That’s where Toys for Tots comes in.
Put on by the Thunder Bay
Professional Firefighters Association
each year, the organization partners with
the Christmas Cheer Fund, collecting
more than $150,000 last year to
purchase toys for children in need that
will be handed out during Christmas
Cheer’s annual hamper campaign.
C
Toys for Tots chairman Paul Penna
said the need keeps growing, but he
remains optimistic that they’ll be able to
take care of everyone who needs help
this Christmas.
“Thunder Bay obviously hasn’t been
booming in terms of paper mills and
pulp mills. So a lot of people have gone
through a lot of hard times and that
means children go through hard times,”
Penna said.
“This is our way to help those
families.”
As usual, firefighters have set up shop
at Intercity Shopping Centre, adjacent to
the food court, where they will be
collecting donations for the next few
weeks.
The campaign kicked off with a
$47,880 donation from local Tim
Hortons owners, the proceeds of the
annual Smile Cookie campaign.

HELPING OUT: Thunder Bay Fire Rescue mascot Sparky is ready for Toys for Tots to begin.
“We’re so blessed to have that, so I’m
pretty optimistic that we’ll be able to
take care of the children in our community this year once again,” said Penna,
who would like to see this year’s Toys
for Tots campaign top last year’s result.
Joleene Kemp, chairwoman of the
Christmas Cheer Fund, called it the
perfect partnership.
While not a necessity, every child
likes to have at least one present to open
at Christmastime each year, Kemp
added.
“There’s an expectation that every
child is going to have something special
at Christmas. These children deserve to
be the same as the children they are
sitting beside in school. They deserve to
have something brand new and through
no fault of their own they are living in
poverty,” Kemp said.
“We want to make a difference. We
don’t pretend to be the solvers of any of
the ills of the world. Rather we look at
how can we help, how can we make it
better.”
Christmas Cheer employs a volunteer
toy buyer who takes the money and
purchases gifts for qualified children to
put in the hampers.

40-year milestone for OPP
Provincial police force celebrating four decades of women officers
POLICE
By Jodi Lundmark - TB Source
ith a snub-nose .38-pistol in her purse
and a skirt just above the knees, Joan
Green became one of the first female OPP
officers in 1974.
“Try climbing a fence with a skirt, pantyhose, granny shoes and a purse,” she says,
remembering those early days. “If you stop an
18-wheeler truck, try climbing up those big
steps in a skirt.”
It took about a year of loud complaining
before they were given pants and a duty belt.
From then on climbing fences and other
police duties became a little easier for Green
and her fellow female officers.
“It was a silly move putting us in skirts,” she
says.
Green was 26 when she became an OPP
officer. She was hired in 1966 in a civilian
capacity, doing clerical work in Geraldton and
then Toronto. When she learned the force had
decided to hire its first female class eight years
later, she was eager to sign up.
“It was always a dream of mine and because
I was already working for the OPP, I wanted
to work with them especially. So when they
decided to hire, I got rather excited.”
This year marks the 40th anniversary of
women as uniform members of the province’s
police force and Green wasn’t only a member
of the first women’s class, but was also the
first female officer to retire in 1997.
That milestone forced the provincial organization to design a new retirement watch.
“The men’s watch was a little too big,” she
says.
Green became a uniformed member of the
OPP in Toronto and spent time in
Peterborough before moving back to the

LEARNING CURVE: Joan Green, a provincial constable, was the first female OPP officer to retire in

Northwest where she worked for the Thunder
Bay and Kakabeka Falls detachments.
Looking back on her career, Green doesn’t
see herself as paving the way for women in
the OPP. The members of that first class just
did their work with the male officers and tried
to fit in.
And they did fit in; the men’s attitudes
generally were accepting.
“There’s always problems with some, but
that was their problem. It wasn’t mine,” Green
says.

REWARDING CAREER: Deb Tully, now a sergeant, receiving her OPP badge in 1986.
�Always accepted’
“It makes a difference how the people you
work with accept you and I was always
accepted. As long as you do your work, they
don’t mind,” Green says.
There was a learning curve for the organization and not just when it came to the uniform.
Women trained separately from men in the
beginning.
“Because we were the first class, they didn’t
know how to do anything,” says Green,
adding that it took a couple of years for the
force to get its footing.
“It wasn’t just us learning. It was the entire
OPP learning to deal with women on the
force.”
Although her career was rewarding, Green
says it was more fun retiring.
With nothing but praise for her coworkers
and pride for being a member of the first class,
after 23 years she was ready to say goodbye.
“It was a difficult job. When you’re not
used to dead people and bad accidents, that’s
all difficult,” Green says, adding that life as a
police officer is not as depicted on television.
“It can have some difficult moments, tense
moments, sad moments, but it’s a good job.”
In 1976, women made up 1.6 per cent of the
OPP’s uniformed members. By 1995, that
number had grown to 13.6 per cent and Green
says it was nice to see more women join the
force over the years and show they could do
the job as well as their male colleagues.
Today, women represent more than 20 per
cent of the OPP’s uniformed members and
there have been females in all nine ranks,
including commissioner with Gwen Boniface
holding that position from 1998 to 2006.
When Deb Tully joined the OPP in April
1986, she was widely accepted by her peers.
The civilian public, however, oftentimes
viewed the role of a policewoman as a novelty.
“I certainly got lots of interesting glances
and I even had people coming up to me and
asking me �gee, do you carry a gun?’ Tully
says about her early days.
Now a sergeant with the northwest detachment, Tully remembers those same people
suddenly noticing the gun on her hip, which

would be followed by questions about her
police-issued weapon..
Today she feels women are seen as an
integral part of policing.
“People don’t find it a novelty the way they
used to when a woman police officer tends to
an issue and is involved with the public,”
Tully says. “We’re all seen as police officers
for the most part.”
Tully joined the OPP 28 years ago because
she felt it was a job that would challenge all of
who she was; she wouldn’t be pigeon-holed
into doing one particular activity.
“What I enjoy the most is the OPP and
policing in general has all kinds of different
activities you can do throughout your career,
different opportunities and it certainly allows
you almost to be faced with something new
each day.”
When she first came on the job, Tully says
most, if not all, women held the rank of provincial constable. Since then she’s noticed women
progress through the ranks all the way to the
top and participate in all the specialty areas.
The Northwest detachment will be celebrating 40 years of women in the OPP this
Thursday and Tully says she was surprised by
the milestone.
“It’s been such an interesting career and such
an amazing journey that the 28-and-a-half
years I’ve spent in the OPP have flown by.”

e awoke last week to snow covering the ground, vehicles, wood

pine trees. “Ah-ha,” I thought. “Our first,
serious snow.”
I greeted this new transformation of the
land with mixed feelings. I was hoping
for a couple of weeks without any sort of
precipitation so the land could dry. We’d
had a lot of rain this autumn and the yard

Planning for success
JENNIFER
BIRON
THE RED
HEAD
AND THE CHEF
hen preparing for a regular
meeting, strategic planning
session with staff or even a teambuilding session to improve over
all staff performance, there are
many things to consider.
The attention given to all the
details, big and small, beforehand
will help to ensure a successful and
productive outcome. A few things
that are often overlooked are how
the location and meal can affect the
productivity and participation of
your attendees. As well during the
planning stages, it is important to
think of your staff and what you are
asking of them. They are the ones
that will determine how successful
and productive the day is.
W
Same page
As employers you host meetings
to keep everyone on the same page,
and yes they are paid to attend and
it is expected that they contribute,
but let’s think of these meetings as
more of an opportunity to invest in
your company, and invest in the
people who make the company
what it is!
Location is an important aspect of
any meeting. The atmosphere in
which you host your meeting will
have a significant impact on your
staff from the moment they arrive;
what they see, smell and hear will
set the tone for the day’s events.
Consider things like lighting, the
acoustics in the room, air flow (too
hot? too cold?) It is important that
your staff feels comfortable.
Distracting noises, uncomfortable
drafts or difficulty hearing what is
being said all detract from the
effectiveness and enjoyment of the
meeting. As an example; if you are
preparing for a strategic planning
meeting where you want staff to be
attentive and participate in discussions, consider getting out of the
office and into a different location.
Look for a space that has natural
light, to help people relax, get
focused and keep them inspired.
Closed spaces with florescent
lights can create an environment
that can be hard to concentrate in
and often the buzzing noise from
the lights can be distracting. As
well they often have poor air flow
that can just be downright
“stuffy.”
Your staff will be agitated,
shifting in their chairs trying to get
comfortable and doing the all too
familiar checking the clock to see
when the next break is coming.
All of these things combined will
detract from them focusing on the
presenter, information being giving
and reduce their active input into
the meeting.
It becomes the race of “how can
we get out of here faster?!”
So do some research and ensure
the environment is comfortable,
inviting and inspiring, and you will
be pleasantly surprised at the
outcome
Next spend some time thinking
about the meal you’re offering for
the day. Break time is when
everyone gets up, stretches their
legs and allows for an opportunity
to reflect on the information given
and shared and is a time to refuel
their bodies and minds, preparing
them for the next round of information and participation.
Special meal
Consider selecting a meal that
will make them feel special,
thought of and not a meal that
screams “limited budget!”
Once again, the meal is a great
opportunity to show that you invest
in them and it is important to you
that they feel valued.
A hot lunch option that is healthy,
not to heavy, flavourful and
aromatic when presented will get
your staff excited and keep them
inspired.
After years of being in this
industry and being a part of
meetings or planning meetings,
these little things can definitely be
the determining factor of a
successful meeting and have a
direct impact on the future productivity of your staff and your
company.

he presence of winter was felt
rather than seen at the annual
Santa Claus parade.
Thousands of people braved
chilly temperatures and lined the
sides of Memorial Avenue on a
sunny but frigid Saturday morning
for the 24th annual Rotary
Christmas Parade, an event that is
considered the local kickoff to the
Christmas season.
Nine-year-old Holden Trewin,
who was along the route with his
parents and friends, was among
those in a festive spirit.
“I really like seeing the trucks
and the floats,” he said, adding the
wind chill that felt like -15C would
not keep him inside.
The parade is a tradition not only
for the children but for their
parents, many of whom had also
anxiously anticipated the arrival of
Santa when they were younger.
Kaela Stradiotto still remembers
the excitement of writing a letter to
Santa and the thrill of seeing him
each year.

Getting to be part of the parade,
along with her young daughter, was
a special experience.
“It’s a really neat thing for her to
not just sit on the sidelines and be
part of it,” she said.
Parade co-chair Volker Kromm
was pleasantly surprised with the
number of participants, with there
being more than 65 floats and
walking groups making up the
convoy.
“We exceeded our expectations,”
he said. “There were also a lot
more colourful and creative floats
this year.”
Many groups had members
walking along the route, offering
treats to the crowd.
For other groups it was an opportunity to accept goodwill from a
large portion of the community.
Among other organizations, volunteers from The Shelter House were
taking non-perishable food donations.
“There were a lot of other small
initiatives going on out there
raising awareness for various charities and organizations,” Kromm
said.

Falcons take football crown
Dray Theriault fumble recovery puts St. Ignatius ahead for good in senior final
FOOTBALL
for four points after making one of two
field goal attempts.
Whatever Marcon told the Saints at
the halftime break had a profound
impact, as it only took one play from
scrimmage for St. Patrick to regain the
edge.
Quarterback Joey Ward took the snap,
got past the first level of defenders and
raced away for an 80-yard touchdown.
That held up until the critical fumble
recovery.
By Matt Vis – TB Source
he football adage that defence wins
championships can be overused.
However, on Saturday it was a fitting
description of how the St. Ignatius
Falcons captured an elusive high school
senior football crown.
Falcons defender Dray Theriault put
St. Ignatius ahead for good with a goahead fumble recovery touchdown late
in the fourth quarter, leading the
Falcons to a 21-14 triumph over the St.
Patrick Saints in the final at Fort
William Stadium.
“I was just waiting for that tackle to
come right to me. When the ball
fumbled I went right for it and it came
to me,” Theriault said of his gamewinning play.
“Defence is always key in the game.
There is always defence. Defence is
always in the back and offence always
gets the glory but right now we’ve got
the glory.”
T
Long time coming
The title is the first at the senior level
for St. Ignatius since 1998 and only the
second in the school’s history. Last year
the Falcons found themselves entering
the playoffs as one of the top teams,
only to fall in a disappointing semifinal
loss to the Churchill Trojans.
This year’s group was determined to
not let that happen again.
“Coming into the semifinals we had
that in the back of our minds,” said
Grade 12 running back Jake Puskas.
“I think with our coaches and the
preparation we pushed through it with a
victory today.”
Even though the offence, specifically
the ground attack, had been strong all

the game would likely be decided on
the other side of the ball.
“I knew it from the start. I told the
guys, offensively you win games but
defence will win championships and
our guys stepped up and helped us
win,” he said.
“We believed all along it was just a
matter of making one play and that was
big for us.”
That one play came in the fourth
quarter with the Falcons trailing 14-11,
their offence sputtering and after the
Saints seemed to seize momentum.
St. Patrick safety Marc DeGagne had
just killed a Falcons drive with his
second interception of the game,
picking off St. Ignatius quarterback
Justin Migliazza at the goal line.
Two plays later a botched snap in the
Saints backfield popped the ball up in
the air, right into the arms of Theriault.
St. Patrick head coach Mike Marcon
said that fumble was a backbreaking
play.
“In big games you have to execute.
We just came off a huge interception
and we couldn’t execute when we
needed to and we lost,” he said.
Coming in as the underdog with a 5-3
regular season record against the No. 1
seeded Falcons, St. Patrick drew first
blood. After forcing a Falcons punt the
Saints took the ball to the end zone with
a 68-yard major by running back
Trenton Woodbeck.
That lead stood until the early stages
of the second quarter, when Kyle
Hughes capped a St. Ignatius drive with
a two-yard touchdown run.
The Falcons expanded the lead later,
with kicker Ryan Grandell accounting
Trailing by seven the Saints put
together a drive in the final stages of the
quarter looking to draw even. St.
Patrick advanced the ball into the red
zone, helped along the way with a 30yard third down hookup between Ward
and DeGagne for the Saints’ first
completed pass of the afternoon.
Facing 11 yards between the line of
scrimmage on first down and the end
zone, the Falcons defence made their
biggest stand of the game.
After a short loss on a Woodbeck run,
Theriault did his part to make sure his
scoring play held up as the difference.
On second down he chased Ward down
for a 15-yard sack.
Facing third down from the 30, Ward
tried to find a receiver in the end zone
but the pass fell incomplete.
The Falcons received the ball after the
turnover on downs and ran out the
clock.
The senior victory completes a sweep
of the city high school football championships after St. Ignatius claimed the
junior trophy last week with a 39-6
romp over the Saints.
The senior Falcons advance to the
Northern Bowl, which will be played
on Nov. 28 at Tim Hortons Field in

SECOND WEEK OF EVERY MONTH
ROUGH GAME: Lakehead’s E.J. Faust (right) and Bennan Dubchak fight for the puck against McGill.
Redmen dominate
Thunderwolves come up short against McGill
UNIVERSITY HOCKEY
By Leith Dunick – TB Source
ustin McDonald has been put to the test
this season.
Saturday night was no different, though the
second-year goalie stood tall against a McGill
Redmen squad that arrived at Fort William
Gardens with all guns blazing.
McDonald, filling in for the still-injured Jeff
Bosch, stood tall in the Lakehead
Thunderwolves net, stopping 17 of 18 shots
directed his way in the opening period.
But the onslaught proved too much as the
game progressed and the McGill offence
went into overdrive, and buoyed by a trio of
second-period goals, the Redmen coasted to a
5-1 win, their eighth in 11 outings.
Mike Hammond had the lone goal for
Lakehead, opening the scoring at 6:14 of the
first. With the loss the Wolves fell to 4-7-2.
Jonathan Brunelle, who netted the firstperiod equalizer on the power-play, Samuel
Labrecque, Neal Prokop, Guillaume Monast
and Simon Tardif-Richard were the McGill
goal scorers.
J
Easy answer
Lakehead coach Bill McDonald didn’t have
to think long when asked where to lay the
blame. In fact, he had an immediate answer.
“I can tell you in a nutshell right now what it
was,” the second-year bench boss said. “It
was faceoffs. Our faceoffs were atrocious
throughout the game and you either start with
the puck or you start without the puck.
“And we started without it a whole pile.
They’re a skilled team and I just looked at the
faceoffs after the second period and they were
just killing us.”
McDonald said he met with players
between the second and third periods, and
asked them to at least try to tie the number of
draws and come away with the puck 50 per
cent of the time.
“It was a really good start and they just
started to take over. There was a section there
in the first period where I think we lost five
draws in a row in our own end. And against a
team like that, they get momentum, they can
move it around and they (owned) the time of
possession in the end zone,” McDonald said.
�Frustrating’
Justin McDonald said he’d rather have
more shots than not enough, but even he
admitted it was a bit frustrating watching
McGill control the puck for most of the night.
“It’s tough, that’s for sure. They had a lot of
great chances, but we had our chances too.
We had a couple of power plays throughout
the game, three or four, that we didn’t capitalize on, which is too bad," the
Saskatchewan-born goalie said.
“But I was a little disappointed with myself
too, there were few goals I thought I should
have had. Five-to-one was definitely the
result we didn’t want."
McDonald, who made a huge stop on
Alexandre Lemieux about a minute after
Hammond`s opening goal, couldn`t catch up
to Jonathan Brunelle at the 8:45 mark. The
Redmen forward one-timed a Mathieu
Pompei shot for the equalizer and the two
teams were tied 1-1 after 20 minutes.
Labrecque fired a howitzer from one step
inside the blue-line that beat McDonald top
shelf just 2:09 into the second, the goal
proving to be the winner.
Lakehead`s Jay Gilbert had a chance to tie
at the 6:00 mark, but rang the puck off the
crossbar. McGill scored twice more in the
final 4:06 to take a commanding 4-1 lead
into the final frame.

Ski season begins
SKIING
By Matt Vis – TB Source
ven though the city has not yet
been blanketed by snow one
local ski hill is jumping ahead to
the winter season.
Loch Lomond officially opened
for business this weekend, with
artificially created snow covering
what would otherwise be bare hills.
New co-owner Grant Brodeur
said this is one of the earliest
openings for an area ski hill in
recent memory, with weather cooperating despite not actually
receiving any snow.
“Without the cold temperatures
the crew wouldn’t have been able
to make the snow,” he said Sunday
afternoon with a hill full of skiers
and snowboarders just behind him.
All of the powder on the runs was
artificially created, taking an
exhausting amount of effort from
the grooming crews.
Brodeur, who along with Jason
Gerry took over ownership of the
facility in the fall, said getting an
early start to the season makes a
strong statement about the future
direction of the hill.
“To be able to deliver a ski hill on
Nov. 15 is a great thing,” he said.
“People can see all the changes and
things we’re going to be doing is
going to be a positive.”
Northrop Johnston was one skier
MATT VIS
E
OPEN: Snowboarders and skiers were
out in full force last weekend.
who was taking advantage of the
early season.
“These are unbelievable conditions. It’s been really cool to get
out and rip,” he said.
Johnston, who is a student at
Lakehead University, is an FIS
level competitor who is accustomed to having to travel to get a
head start on his training.
Being able to do it while staying
at home is a huge advantage.
“It means I can sit in class and
catch my lecture at noon, come on
out and hit some training under the
lights and then go back for the
evening,” Johnston said.
Brodeur and Gerry brought in
Olympic skier Robbie Dixon for
their annual fundraising dinner and
to kick off the season.
Dixon said the city, which was
the home of fellow Olympians
Jason Myslicki and Amber
Peterson, has a reputation as a
strong ski community.
“There’s a rich history with one
of the Crazy Canucks from here,”
Dixon, who competed in the 2010
Games in Vancouver, said. “My
time here in the last four days
meeting lots of people and hearing
their stories, and for them to enjoy
skiing and ski racing, is really
cool.”
The biggest sign that the run was
in good shape was the number of
people making repeated trips down
the hill.
“If people are taking more than
one run on their first day that
means the snow conditions are
good and they’re out having a good
time,” Brodeur said. “Usually on
the first couple of days the snow
has the consistency of marbles
because it’s more frozen ice but the
guys did a great job with the
groomer.”
Brodeur said the hill plans to
introduce two new runs later in the
season.

SPORTS IN BRIEF
LU’s volleyball squad
taken out by Badgers
he Lakehead Thunderwolves
volleyball team was not able to
build on the momentum from their
first win of the season.
Just one night after rallying
against Western to snap a winless
streak, Lakehead fell in four sets
(19-25, 25-23, 17-25, 21-25) to the
Brock Badgers on Sunday afternoon, capping a three-game road
swing.
The Badgers (5-4) defence stifled
the Lakehead (1-6) attack, holding
the Thunderwolves to 36
successful kills in the afternoon.
Veteran hitter Jen Casey had the
most on the team, finishing with
11. Setter Vanessa Masters finished
with 30 of the team’s 32 total
assists.
Defensively libero Breanne
Hilhorst was able to dig 16 balls.
Brock was led by Renee Helmer,
who accumulated a game-high 21
points on 13 kills while adding
seven aces.
Lakehead lost to Windsor Friday
night before rallying from two sets
down to beat the Western Mustangs
in five on Saturday.
The Thunderwolves hit the road
again next weekend, this time
headed to Kingston to take on
Queen’s and the Royal Military
T
College to conclude the first half of
the campaign.
T-Wolves lose first
he Lakehead Thunderwolves
women’s basketball seasonopening unbeaten run has come to
an end.
Lakehead fell 63-59 to the No. 6
McMaster Marauders on Saturday
night, snapping a three-game
winning streak to open the regular
season.
Once again the Thunderwolves
were paced by Jylisa Williams,
who notched her second doubledouble of the weekend. Williams
recorded 34 points with 11
rebounds while dishing out five
assists.
Looking for their third win
against a nationally ranked top-10
team this season, Lakehead jumped
out to a 17-13 edge after the first
quarter with Williams pouring in
10 of those.
The Marauders defence dominated the second frame, holding the
Lakehead offence to a mere five
points in the 10 minutes. McMaster
led 29-22 heading into recess.
McMaster expanded the lead in
the second half, at one time devel-
T
oping a 15 point cushion.
A late Lakehead rally was too
little too late as the Marauders held
on.
McMaster was led by Clare
Kenney, who finished with a
double-double of her own scoring
24 points while hauling 12
rebounds on the glass.
Lakehead returns home next
weekend for a Saturday contest
against the No. 1 Windsor Lancers.
Ski hills improve
future Olympian could be skiing through town this winter.
From March 6 to 12, 2015
Thunder Bay will see up to 180
athletes from across the province as
it holds the Ontario Under-16
Alpine Championships.
Alpine Ontario technical director
Brad Lashley, in Thunder Bay over
the weekend to inspect Loch
Lomond and Mount Baldy, said
sites across the province have been
busy making changes to adopt
international standards, including
in Thunder Bay.
"Here you've got two spectacular
