What could possibly be said of the Lalor deposit that hasn’t already been put forward? It’s been studied and mapped, drilled and sur-veyed, and looked at from the air and from underground. One would think by now, the ore body would have given up all its secrets. Not so! If one thing was learned from a recent case study of the de-posit, it is … you never stop learning or looking. As long as there are people wishing to advance new technolo-gies and learn from the past, knowledge will continue to fl ow, and the people who search for the answers will bring home the benefi ts for those of us who choose to live and work here.
There were a number of revelations, hunches, and facts put forward at the Lalor Symposium (and a few after-wards in putting this story together). It was a long day of talk about geoscience, geo-physics, and general geology, with many of the terms made up of the latter consonants and vowels of the alphabet. But it was all interesting in-formation. Dave Koop, owner and president of Koop Geo-technical, was one of many presenters on this day, and he put forth a few of the facts and revelations.
Koop seemed just a bit nervous prior to his presen-tation during the event … rightfully so; he’s a techni-cian, not a politician. Never-theless, he performed admir-ably and got his points across well, while imparting his vast knowledge of, and enthusi-asm for, the deposit he helped found. Having done an im-mense amount of research on his topic, Koop imparted it in the fervent and active man-ner he is noted for. He began with a bit of his own experi-
ence; then moved swiftly into the background of the area.
The geotech in him traced mineral exploration in the area back to 1794, when Hudson’s Bay Company (not Hudbay) explorer David Thompson fi rst recognized the unique geology on Reed Lake while wintering near Reed. He followed this up with an overview of the con-tributions of Billy Todd, Dick Woosey, Mike Hackett, Kate Rice, Joe Kerr, Charlie Krug, and Christopher Parres.
Koop also covered some of the early history of the Edwards/Chisel/Lalor area. From his research he found that HBED’s (Hudson Bay Exploration and Develop-ment) fi rst foray into the Chisel Basin came in 1939, when they acquired a group of six claims – “Edward” and “Windfall” – through a lawyer from The Pas, Fleet Witaker. These claims had been staked on different oc-casions by both Joe Kerr and Dick Woosey.
Skipping ahead to 1956, HBED did a Boliden EM survey (two hoops, 200 foot cable, four-person crew) around the area of a small lake east of Cook Lake, which at the time was called “Little Cook Lake.” This lake was of course renamed Lalor Lake in 1974. The information gleaned from the Boliden survey apparently warranted more work and three short holes were drilled in the Cook Lake area; one of them at the northwestern edge of the current ore body. They hit graphite.
However, that year there were bigger fi sh to fry slightly south east of “Little Cook.” This happened when the Lost Lake and subsequently the Chisel Lake ore bodies were discovered after drilling
weak anomalies over the two deposits.
Koop reported that from the years 1969-1974, HBED was reducing the number of claims they held and in that process gave up the area over Lalor. Falconbridge (now Extrata) staked it and subsequently did Heli-EM (Helicopter Electro Magnet-ic) and a ground IP (Induced Polarisation) survey over it. They likely determined the area was void of minable minerals and consequently dropped it. HBED re-staked the ground in 1977.
Koop said that numerous surveys were done in area over the ensuing years; how-ever, the drills were targeting mostly shallow anomalies, closer to surface. “Not much could be seen below the Gabro,” said Koop. “Deep detection was needed.” From 1956 to 2005 the following fl avours of mineral detec-tion were used in the area: Geochem, Mercury vapor survey, IP, Heli-EM, Boliden, HLEM, EM16, EM17, EM37, Turam, MT, MAG, Moving Loop TDEM, Titan 24, Geon-ics Protem 67, and Spectrem.
Nevertheless, Lalor’s saga
carried on. Koop reported that during the 1980s Jerry Kitz-ler, Alan Bailes, and Alan Galley recognized an ex-treme amount of hydrother-mal alteration present in the Basin. They were “supported by Neil Provins, Ted Baum-gartner, Dan Ziehlke, Darren Simms, Tony Spooner, Bill Salahub, Dan McKeachnie, and Brian Janser,” Koop said.
In 1984 the Crone Bore-hole EM System was adopted by HBED, with Bob Frazer playing a key part in this. Koop said that the Bore-hole EM system proved its worth by being able to see a 200-metre radius when immersed in drill holes and the technology had early suc-cess at Spruce Point Mine. “In 1987 Jerry Kitzler used the new Borehole EM sys-tem with his original Deep Chisel Fence drilling program and Chisel North was discov-ered,” he added.
Based on that initial suc-cess (fi nding Chisel North), a much larger program was designed in 1990, but funds ran short. However, in 1992 a deep drill hole DUB-33 was the fi rst indication of Lalor’s greatness.
In a 2007 interview with Marc Jackson for the book, Headframes, Happiness, and Heartaches (by James R.B. Parres and Marc Jackson), Kitzler explained what hap-pened in respect to DUB-33 thusly: “We were so keen on this prospect that we kept proposing it, trying to get even one hole at a time if we could… and we did get a few holes that way,” Kitler said from his kitchen table in that May 2007 interview. “One of them was Dub-33.
“It was a big step out to an area that we fi gured was close to the middle of the Chisel Basin. And we hit fi ve centimeters of sulphide in that hole. We were pretty excited, because this was right on the horizon. This was down at the 1200 meter level and we expected that we were getting out to the bottom of the basin. We did a borehole pulse survey on that hole. And it showed that there was something there that we missed, an anomaly that was huge - because they started seeing this thing right from surface. The Geophysics people said, ‘Hey, if it’s seeing this thing right from surface,
at 1200 meters away, what-ever is down there is huge!’ So we fi gured; that’s got to be the mother lode. It certainly had the potential But Anglo (Anglo American – HBM&S’s parent company) just would not come up with any more money to put deep holes out there.”
Koop noted that, “Jerry Kitzler, Darren Simms and Bill Salahub’s sniffers were going off scale, but HBED budgets had to focus on new discoveries.” The 777, Photo Lake and Konuto deposits had just been discovered and despite a number of presen-tations based on DUB-33, it was not to be.
Time moves on and Koop says that Anglo American decided to make one last at-tempt at exploration in the Flin Flon/Snow Lake Camp before making the decision to sell off Hudson Bay Min-ing and Smelting. “They fi gured the best place to ex-plore was the Chisel Basin,” Koop reported. “They knew the favorable Chisel stratig-raphy was getting progres-sively deeper, so they asked the geophysical group to

We would also like to apologize to any of Edward’s friends, former colleagues and community members for the delayed notice. He was a kind, loving, humble man who is greatly missed by many.
Do not stand at my grave and weepI’m not there, I do not sleep
I’m a thousand winds that blowI’m the diamond glint on snow
I’m the sunlight on ripened grainI’m the gentle rain
When you awake in the morning, hushI’m the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled ightI’m the soft stars that shine at night Do not stand at my grave and cry
I’m not there, I didn’t die

Our economy is grow-ing.
In fact the pace of growth in Manitoba is ex-pected to increase in 2015, according to the latest RBC projections. Real GDP growth for Manitoba is expected to be 2.9 per cent in 2015, up from a rate of 1.8 per cent pro-jected for 2014. New pro-jections have also shown that Manitoba will have the second best growth in
labour productivity next year. This comes on top of the fact that we have had the second best economic
record in Canada over the past decade.
The major upturn in construction activity to take place in 2015 refl ects increased production cap-
acity in the manufacturing sector and construction ac-tivity related to Manitoba Hydro’s Bipole III trans-mission project. Keeyask and our investments in core infrastructure are also clearly fuelling the economic growth we are seeing. This growth didn’t just happen. It is a result of the balanced approach to economic development here in our province. Manitoba’s economy is in-creasingly being seen as a Canadian success story.
Manitoba’s economy is growing

An inquest is wrapping up this week in Winnipeg after hearing about the deaths of three small chil-dren and an adult during two house fi res on Northern Manitoba First Nations in 2011. Inquests are called if the chief medical examiner believes that the general public can gain something from the information that is made public through such a hearing.
Errabella Harper, a two-and-a-half-month-old, died on Jan. 16, 2011 in a fi re in St. Theresa Point, while fi ve other children escaped. Demus James, 73, and his two grandchildren Throne Kirkness, 2, and Kayleigh Okemow, 3, died in a March 14, 2011 house fi re at God’s Lake Narrows. These deaths caused the inquest to be ordered by the chief medical examiner.
An outdated space heater is believed to have caused the fi re in God’s Lake Nar-rows, and a malfunctioning wood heating system in the house in St. Theresa Point caused that blaze.
RCMP offi cers who re-sponded to the fatal house fi res spoke on Dec. 15 about the incidents and how resi-dents of neighbouring homes tried to extinguish
the fl ames. The Canadian Press re-
ported that Const. Mark Stienwandt, who was sta-tioned with the Island Lake RCMP at the time, testifi ed that by the time he arrived at the St. Theresa Point home, it was already engulfed in fl ames. Stienwandt stated that residents were trying to put out the fl ames when he arrived by fi lling buckets of water from community water trucks. A water truck can hold up to 5,000 gallons of water and can be used when a community doesn’t have a fi re truck.
There was no fi re depart-ment nor was there a fi re hall with people on call to phone when the fi re started to help put the fi re out. The community’ss fi re truck was broken, in storage, with no fi re hoses during the time of the St. Theresa Point fi re, the Canadian Press re-ported.
Stienwandt testifi ed that fi res on reserves are a regu-lar occurrence and RCMP were rarely called. Stien-wandt said offi cers found out about fi res after the fact, when they spotted the charred remains of a home.
Const. Alexander Key also testifi ed during the in-quest about the God’s Lake Narrows fi re. The Canadian Press reported that Key was
one of the fi rst RCMP mem-bers on scene and said that the reserve did not own a fi re truck but the community’s water truck was brought in. Key also testifi ed that a nearby fi re hydrant was not in use nor was it operational during the time of the fi re.
Within the First Nations fi re prevention strategy, available on the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern De-velopment Canada website, it says “The First Nations per capita fi re incidence rate is 2.4 times the per-capita rate for the rest of Canada. The death rate is 10.4 times greater; the fi re injury rate is 2.5 times greater; and the
fi re damage per unit is 2.1 times greater.”
The goals for this fi re prevention strategy are to reduce fi re related deaths, which according to avail-able data are at least 10 times higher than off-re-serve deaths. Other goals include development of mechanisms to support these services in First Na-tions communities, and referencing and adapting to existing federal and provin-cial guidelines for fi re safety.
The inquest was sched-uled to wrap up on Dec. 18, after hearing from other witnesses and the fi re com-missioner of Manitoba.

Former provincial court Judge Brian Colli made only a single recommen-dation at the conclusion of an inquest into the 2010 death of Nelson House resident Robert Wood in RCMP custody that was one of his last tasks be-fore retiring at the end of May, but it didn’t touch the circumstances of Wood’s death.
“I have not made any recommendation to the province to reduce the likelihood of similar deaths in the future,” Colli wrote in his May 26 report. “Indeed, the only government agency that I could make recommenda-tions to is the Royal Can-adian Mounted Police. It was fairly clear to me from the very outset that there was little likelihood of that because it appeared to me that the police had not contributed to the death. I was aware that the one small area of inquiry, the use of materials in hold-ing cells to soften the blow of a fall by an inmate, was unlikely to result in a recommendation from me because of the trade-off effect of an increased risk from other sources. In summary, then, this inquest seemed unneces-sary to me, even though it was mandatory. It came at a cost—the loss of more than two full hearing days that could have been as-signed to other cases.
“The holding of this in-quest satisfi es the require-ments of the [Fatality In-quiries] Act but, given the lack of interest in it and lack of recommendations arising from it, it strikes me as a hollow accom-plishment because it did not attain any of the goals that we should expect from an inquest,” Colli continued. “I therefore
recommend that the prov-ince consider changing the Fatality Inquiries Act to permit an assigned in-quest judge to exercise his or her discretion to cancel a mandatory inquest.”
Colli recommended that such a cancellation be per-mitted in cases in which no one other than a po-lice force or government department or agency has applied for standing, no member of the public has expressed an interest in attending the inquest and the inquest judge deter-mines after reviewing in-vestigative material and submissions by inquest counsel or any party hav-ing standing that an in-quest is unlikely to result in recommendations.
“Each of these factors bears directly on one or more of the three pur-poses of an inquest men-tioned earlier – to deter-mine the circumstances of the death, to make them public and to make rec-ommendations that might avoid similar deaths in the future. I am fi rmly of the view that if all three of these conditions are met the devotion of any fur-ther resources to inquiring into the death is simply not worth the cost.”
Wood died in Winnipeg on Jan. 3, 2010 after hav-ing been taken from the drunk tank at the Nelson House RCMP detachment to the local nursing station and then to Thompson General Hospital before being medevaced to Win-nipeg after having fallen and hit his head on the fl oor in the drunk tank. Wood had been arrested for causing a disturbance on Dec. 30, 2009 and was removed from life support on Jan. 1, 2010 at Winni-peg’s Health Sciences Cen-tre, having never regained consciousness since his fall in the holding cell.
The inquest into Wood’s death was ordered by Manitoba’s chief medical examiner Dr. A. Tham-birajah Balachandra on March 26, 2012 and held in Thompson on Jan. 6-7, Feb. 26 and May 8 of this year.
The RCMP was the only person or organization that applied for standing as an interested party at the inquest, which heard evidence from the path-ologist who performed the autopsy on Wood, three Nelson House RCMP de-tachment members who dealt with Wood on Dec. 30, 2009, a jail guard on duty at the detachment that evening, and a se-curity guard, doctor and nurse who examined and observed Wood at the Nel-son House nursing station on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31, 2009. Testimony was also given by Ron Newman, a senior analyst of physical security and threat risk with the Physical Security Branch of the RCMP in Ot-tawa.
Other evidence con-sidered by Colli included police statements from emergency medical servi-ces attendants who twice transported Wood to the nursing station on Dec. 30, 2009, from an em-ployee of the video lottery terminal (VLT) facility in Nelson House who called police to remove Wood from the premises, and another man who was also lodged in the cell in which Wood fell. There were also statements from other RCMP offi cers, other people lodged as pris-oners with Wood, other nurses who provided care to Wood at the nursing station and friends and relatives of Wood’s, three of whom saw him on Dec. 30, 2009. Also submitted for Colli’s consideration were videos that showed
Wood falling at the VLT building in the early even-ing of Dec. 30, 2009 and from the drunk tank, which showed him falling twice more after having been lodged there.
Wood, who was 59 years old, had had alcohol confi scated by police on the afternoon of Dec. 30, 2009. Police were called to the VLT building shortly after 7 p.m. when Wood fell outside and was un-able to get up. RCMP at-tended the scene and took him to the nursing station where he remained for a while before he started trying to move about and the police were called once again, following which they took him to the cell at the detachment. At about 11 p.m. that night, while standing at the toilet, which was the only fi xture in the otherwise plain con-crete drunk tank, Wood fell over, then got up and fell over once again, ap-pearing on video to strike his head sharply on the fl oor. The guard at the jail saw him fall and tried to contact an RCMP member. When an offi cer went into the cell at about 11:40, the ambulance was called and Wood was taken to the nursing station. At about 1:30 a.m. Wood was taken to Thompson General Hospital and then medevaced to Winnipeg, where doctors determined that medical intervention could no longer save his life. An autopsy deter-mined the cause of death to be acute cranio-cerebral trauma resulting from one or more falls, which was exacerbated by Wood’s pneumonia and by previ-ous cerebral trauma.
Colli concluded that the second fall in the RCMP drunk tank was likely the cause of Wood’s death. He also cited excessive alcohol consumption and
delay in diagnosis and treatment as contributing factors, though he con-cluded based on evidence presented by Dr. Charles Littman, who conducted the autopsy, that the win-dow for treatment of such injuries was short and un-less Nelson House were equipped with a medical centre complete with a neurosurgery team and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment it was unlikely earlier diagnosis would have saved Wood’s life.
“Mr. Wood died in part because he chose to live in a place that is remote from a sophisticated world class health centre,” wrote Colli. “Any of us living in the north are in the same
boat with him. I cannot make a recommendation in this area that would have made a difference for Mr. Wood.”
Colli also concluded, based on testimony from Newman, that the cell where Wood fell met the national standards for holding cells and that material that provided greater protection in the event of a fall, such as carpet or padding, is impractical for such a fa-cility. He also noted that Newman testified that the only recent similar incident in Canada oc-curred in 2004 when an inmate fell in a hold-ing cell and received 10 stitches.
Inquest into death from fall in Nelson House RCMP cell makes no recommendations to
prevent similar deaths in the future

Nine First Nations in Manitoba, several of them in the north, have yet to comply with the First Na-tions Financial Transpar-ency Act (FNFTA).
Bunibonibee Cree Na-tion at Oxford House, Dakota Tipi Band, Ebb and Flow Band, Fox Lake Band, Northlands Band at Lac Brochet, Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation Government, Wu-skwi Sipihk First Nation, York Factory First Nation and Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) at Nel-son House are the First Nations that have not yet complied with the act’s requirements, including posting the salaries and expenses paid to chief and council on the Inter-net.
NCN has published an article on their web-site saying they will be complying with the act. “Chief and council have no problem accounting for any public moneys received from the federal government or releasing information on how NCN spent those funds includ-ing the honoraria paid to chief and council or salar-ies paid to its staff,” said Chief Marcel Moody on the website. “But, gath-ering information for the audit is onerous and costly, since the new rules mandate inclusion of all band-owned entities.”
NCN says there’s a double standard because of this new legislation. “Many of NCN organiza-tion are privately owned and not publicly traded. This means records of
their fi nances are propri-etary and there has never a requirement for them to be produced for external markets or the public to view. There is a double standard that has been imposed by the new fed-eral legislation as only First Nation businesses have been targeted in this manner,” stated the article.
The federal government released a statement on Dec. 8 in which Bernard Valcourt, minister of ab-original affairs and north-ern development, said everyone deserves trans-parency.
“First Nations, like all Canadians, deserve trans-parency and account-ability from their elected leaders. That is why we passed the First Na-tions Financial Transpar-
ency Act (FNFTA) which empowers First Nation members to ensure band revenues are used for the benefi t of the entire com-munity.”
The statement indicated that effective immediately the government is taking court action as provided by the act against First Nations who have spoken out saying they will not be complying with the act.
As of Dec. 16, 39 First Nations have not provid-ed fi nancial statements to the government.
“We will continue to withhold funding for non-essential programs for all non-compliant First Na-tions,” reads the state-ment. The government says the FNFTA has made fi nancial information more accessible for First Nation members, which
they say will “lead to a more effective, transpar-ent and accountable gov-ernance as well as strong, more self-suffi cient and prosperous commun-ities.”
First Nations that pub-lish the required informa-tion will be taken off the list of non-compliant First Nations. “Although NCN will comply with the rules, NCN offi cials and advis-ors are concerned that NCN should not have to reveal confi dential fi nan-cial information to NCN business competitors. In the past, standard annual audits typically covered only government offi ce fi -nancials and not all busi-ness and organizations,” the NCN website reads.
Moody says NCN is con-sidering its options and may even join the other
First Nations and launch legal action against the federal legislation. “NCN is fully aware they could lose ‘non-essential fund-ing’ but wants to assure its citizens, chief, and council and NCN staff have been cooperative and are working to com-plete the audits while also taking the necessary measures to ensure pro-tections are in place for NCN-owned businesses/organizations.”
Moody added that many chiefs have questioned the legislation because it was brought forward without consultation and without understand-ing the different circum-stances among First Na-tions across Canada, not because First Nations are opposed to transparency and accountability.
Several Manitoba First Nation still haven’t complied with fi nancial transparency act

Christians in the United C hurch and other faiths all over the world are celebrating the first two seasons of the church year. In Nov-ember and December and a few days in Janu-ary the celebrations are Advent and Christmas. Also present within the indigenous (First Na-tion) celebrations of Christmas is the celebra-tion of the Loving Spirit during the same days around the winter sol-
stice. These celebrations are the first two seasons of the church lectionary cycle. They are one of the most joyous Christian festivals and they are celebrated even in the secular (non-spiritual/non-religious) world.
In the Church, Ad-vent means “coming” or “visit;” it is a celebra-tion which begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas day Sunday. Each of the four Sun-days celebrate differ-
ent themes. Themes for the Sundays are usu-ally Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. Christmas Day is the celebration of Christ, it is seen as the fulfill-ment of the ancestral hope, of peace, of joy and the love promised.
Advent is usually a reflective time. A time to analyze ourselves and to reflect on how we are called to follow God. A time to thought-fully and gently examine our Spirituality and look
for ways to be better followers of Jesus. We also think about what is means “to wait upon the Lord” in our own lives, as the spirit comes to us, to call us to be ready for service.
The church Christ-mas season lasts for 12 days. Christmas begins on Christmas Day, De-cember 25 and ends on or around January 6, as the new church season of Epiphany (celebration of Christ in the world) begins.
In the First Nation traditional way, the people celebrated the Loving Spirit, by feast-ing and giving, at the time around the winter solstice. These celebra-tions are the “Advent” and “Christmas” that are now in some ways incorporated in these ceremonies. It was not hard to convert the First Nation people into Chris-tianity, as the days of this celebration that they have celebrated since time immemorial are a time of celebrating the Loving Spirit (Jesus) as the fulfilment of the Good News which was prophesized by elders, as passed on through oral teachings from gen-eration to generation.
Still today the First
Nation traditional cere-monies always include the celebration of the Loving Spirit by gifting and feasting, not only on Christmas time but all year long.
The secular celebra-tion of “Advent” is a joyful and stressful time of getting ready for the celebration of Christ-mas. It is a time of joyful celebration, more than anything else. This time of year is seen as the Christmas season which usually ends on Christ-mas day. Usually secular celebrations surrounds us with carols and par-ties for weeks in advance
I get overwhelmed with the Christmas season, simply because it is a hard refection of Christ-mas’s past, the memories of people gone by, family and friends that will not be celebrating with us; also the overpowering excitement of the joys of Christmas with our loved ones that are now with us, the children’s, grandchildren’s, friends’ and families’ excitement and enthusiasm of the feeling of love at Christ-mastime. The love felt at this time is incredible joy with much happiness; and the overwhelming need to know more of how to truly celebrate
the “Love of God” in ways I think I under-stand and ways I cannot even comprehend.
There are a few Christ-mas church celebrations which include: Christmas Eve Services; Baptismal; Holy Communion; Ser-vice of Solace (for those who wish to remember the loss of a loved one); Christmas Day; New Year’s Eve Watch Night. These events all provide opportunities for a par-ticular worship service to help with the under-standing of God’s love.
God’s love is the cele-bration we are celebrat-ing and enjoying joyous-ly by sharing His love.

The Neighbourhood Pharmacy Association of Canada sees the onset of fl u season as an oppor-tunity to raise awareness about the new services be-ing offered at neighbour-hood pharmacies across Canada, like the fl u shot.
“Many Canadians are becoming familiar with pharmacy fl u shots, but there’s a growing list of patient services pharma-cists are providing across the country that patients may not know as much about,” said Denise Car-penter, president and CEO of the Neighbourhood Pharmacy Association of Canada.
Neighbourhood phar-macies serve as conven-ient, accessible hubs, where a patient assess-ment can lead to help-ing manage the patient’s healthcare, and a longer, healthier life, through ser-vices that include treat-ments for common ail-ments, smoking cessation programs, wellness coun-selling and preventive care, diabetes manage-ment, as well as support for other chronic condi-tions.
Accessing these primary healthcare services at the neighbourhood pharmacy offers Canadians health-care closer to where they live, work, and play. In fact, Canada has about 9,000 neighbourhood pharmacies across the country. Many of the ser-vices are available with-out an appointment, and numerous pharmacies are
open 24 hours, with even more open until midnight.
“By shifting patient vis-its for issues like common ailments and vaccinations out of doctors’ offi ces and emergency rooms and into neighbourhood pharma-cies, we are not only pro-viding more accessible and convenient care for patients, but we are also freeing up time for doc-tors to treat more complex cases, as well as saving valuable healthcare dol-lars,” added Carpenter.
This shift towards healthcare through neigh-bourhood pharmacies is especially important in light of the mount-ing pressure on Can-ada’s healthcare system
brought on by the twin challenges of increasing costs and a rapidly aging population.
Provincial governments across Canada have begun increasing pharmacist scope of practice, enabling pharmacists to deliver services towards their full potential, and neigh-bourhood pharmacies are stepping up to take on a greater role in delivering healthcare, where and when Canadians need it.
“From coast, to coast, to coast neighbourhood pharmacies are committed to sustaining Canadians’ access to quality, afford-able healthcare, closer to home,” concluded Carpen-ter.
Neighbourhood pharmacies: delivering health care
closer to home
Quick Facts• Chronic conditions affect 37 per cent of
Canadians, meaning more than 12 mil-lion Canadians need the combined sup-port of physicians and pharmacists to ensure treatment is delivered appropri-ately and their conditions are managed effectively.
• Studies show that 15 per cent of all vis-its to physicians are for relatively minor ailments, such as cold sores, dermatitis, hay fever, back pain, and minor infec-tions. Patients with these minor, non-emergent ailments can wait up to three weeks to see a physician for treatment that can easily be delivered by pharma-cists, who have the skill and expertise to prescribe for these illnesses.
• Leveraging the convenience, expertise, and accessibility of neighbourhood phar-macies and the broader pharmacy sector has the potential to save the Canadian healthcare system $8.5 billion to $11 bil-lion over the next three years.

Continued from Page 1investigate methods to ex-plore at greater depths.” Koop noted that at that time, Crone Geophysics had just developed a high speed time domain receiver, which was capable of collecting higher quality data in a fraction of the time of their current re-ceiver.
Koop stated that the fi rst order of business was to convince HBM&S man-agement of the need for a high-speed receiver. “Alan Vowles made a wager, with then vice president Ed Yar-row, that if the test was successful and they could see the Chisel North Lenses 600 metres below surface then Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting would buy a high-speed receiver.” It worked … on Nov. 11, 2002 , a survey crew made up of Doug Hancock, Alan Vowles, Robert Black, Peter Dueck, and Dave Koop detected the Chisel Basin stratigraphy at a vertical depth of almost 1,100 metres. “This survey demon-strated that large, extensive conductors could be detected at depths in excess of 1 kilo-metre,” said Koop.
Koop noted that by this time, Chris Roney was charge of the Snow Lake Geology Department and was asked to digitally compile 30 years of Snow Lake Geology Data. With that daunting task in front of him and the threat of a sale of HBM&S nipping at everyone’s heels, he needed to come up with drill targets quickly. Roney felt the logical thing to do was talk to the man who did the job for dec-ades before him. “He knew the best thing to do was buy a case a beer and talk to Jerry Kitzler,” said Koop of the encounter. “By the end of the night he came up with a program of close to 16 holes and a key area to do follow up on. Roney and Alan Vowles developed the follow up geophysical pro-gram based on what Kitzler came up with and by putting the major geological puzzle together. This led to the very unconventional geophysical survey that was needed to possibly prove the theories of numerous geologists cor-rect. It was a fi rst geophysical survey of its kind, but inter-estingly enough it was using the same geophysical tech-nology from 30 years ago. The breakthrough was in the understanding on how to maximize its capabil-ity. This was based on the many incredible geophysic-al leaders of Hudbay. Moe Prew passed it onto Mike Muzalowski, Mike passed it onto Bob Frazer, Bob took it to a new level and passed it onto Alan Vowles. I was then being mentored by Alan Vowles.
“A very important piece
that gets forgotten about, was that from 30 years of improv-ing the way HBED mapped and interpreted geophysics Alistair Callegari developed a new method of displaying the geophysics that came up with the now famous twin bull’s eyes (the survey showing the Lalor occurrences) that hung on the walls of HBED for fi ve years… like two eyes saying what are you waiting for. It tortured geologists for years as the occurrences were brought up in almost every HBED drill program planning session, but after discussing the depth, logistics, freeze up, man power and money need-ed, they were forever being put on the back burner. Re-gardless, it was a geological wonderland that laid in wait for geophysics to catch up. Also it took a very long time.”
Nonetheless, things pro-gressed and on Dec. 22, 2004, Anglo American completed the sale of HBM&S. There were still a number of TDEM surveys being done after the sale and there seemed to be a lot more money available for
this type of work.Koop said that by 2007,
Kelly Gilmore was Hudbay’s exploration manager and Craig Taylor was in charge of Snow Lake Geology. Between them they decided to drill DUB-168 and fought hard to do so. When the smoke cleared they got their way.
As a result, on that fi ne day in March 2007 geolo-gist Sara Bernauer, who was looking after the drill on DUB-168, logged the core that was laden with Lalor’s impressive black jack zinc. “She knew exactly what she’d just hit,” Koop said in closing his presentation.
What they did hit was 0.30% Cu, 7.62% Zn over 45.13 metres including: 0.19% Cu, 17.26% Zn over 16.45 metres and further included within that 16.45 metre intersection was a massive sulphide intersection of 7.99 metres of 31.93% zinc! The rest is history … in the making.
[WRITER’S NOTE] Koop notes that he would be re-mise not to acknowledge the
efforts of Glen Gray in this account: “He was the best geotech in the business and played a crucial role in scout-ing the paths for the drill crews and checking the claim
posts that kept the Lalor ground in good standing,” said Koop. “On one occasion in 1997, pushing things to the limit for the project al-most took his life. He was
trying to fi nd a claim post in the Lalor area and got turned around in -40 weather. If it were not for Doug Hancock’s bear banger, Glen would not have made it home that day.”

BY RICHARD PELLSSPECIAL TO THE
NICKEL BELT NEWS
Do you fi nd yourself stopping on Taxi Driver every time you run across it while channel fl ipping? Or shedding a tear each time you watch The God-father? How about sing-ing along to “Mrs. Rob-inson” when it’s on the radio or adding tunes by Bob Dylan and Joan Baez to new playlists you cre-ate?
If so, you owe a “thank you” to the war babies. Born between 1939 and 1945, the war babies are often overshadowed by the two generations that bookend them: the “great-est generation” and the baby boomers. And while boomers often take a lot of the credit for reshaping American culture in the second half of the 20th century, the war babies had by far the biggest im-pact on American postwar music and movies.
In my book War Babies, I look closely at this dis-tinctive generation, fo-cusing on individuals who were instrumental in shaping the country’s culture and politics dur-ing the past half-century. Here, I explain how ele-ments of American life infl uenced eight war baby entertainers as they were growing up in the 1940s and 1950s:
Francis Ford Coppola was born in Detroit in 1939. As a child, Fran-cis contracted polio—the most dreaded disease of the fi rst half of the 20th century. Confi ned to a bed, he created a puppet theater, a traditional form of Italian entertainment, one he reproduced in the early 20th century seg-ment of The Godfather: Part II. The experience of polio also taught Coppola how to fl ourish alone, en-tertaining himself.
Martin Scorsese was born in 1942 in Queens. As a boy, Scorsese (like Coppola) was ill; he had severe asthma and was unable to play sports or
engage in other physic-ally demanding activities. So Scorsese was isolated from other people, a lone-some introvert spending much of his childhood staring out the window of his house and later his apartment in Little Italy in Manhattan. As an adult, Scorsese’s movies cap-tured the vibrancy and violence of the streets in Little Italy.
Robert De Niro, whose background is both Ital-ian and Irish, was born in New York in 1943 and grew up in Little Italy. As a young man, De Niro stud-ied Method acting, which emphasized the need for an actor to draw on his or her own psychological re-sources, and on memories and past experiences. It’s easy to see how De Niro’s upbringing in Little Italy prepared him for his Os-car-winning role as Vito Corleone in Coppola’s The Godfather: Part II.
Faye Dunaway was born in 1941 in relatively impoverished conditions in Florida. She picked cot-ton as a child and had a diffi cult, painful relation-ship with her father, a career soldier who had affairs with other women. All of these experiences inspired in Dunaway an early ambition to fl ee from her feelings of child-hood alienation, escape to the big city, and become a star. It was precisely these incipient infl uences that prepared her for the movie role of a lifetime in 1967, as Bonnie Parker in Bonnie and Clyde, another desperate, lonely young woman who hungers for fame.
Bob Dylan wasn’t al-ways Bob Dylan—he was born Robert Zimmerman in 1941 in Duluth, Min-nesota. Like many war babies who became fi lm-makers or songwriters, Zimmerman came from a musical background; his father played violin. Zim-merman himself, even as a child, was taciturn, remote, and secretive—qualities that would mark
his persona as an adult. He devoted a good part of his youth to listening to blues and country music on the radio. By the late 1950s, as he embarked on his own singing career, Zimmerman renamed himself Bob Dylan in hon-or of one of his favorite writers, Dylan Thomas.
Joan Baez was born in 1941 on Staten Island to a Mexican father and Scot-tish mother. Baez soon moved with her parents to Menlo Park, California, where her father studied at Stanford for a master’s degree in mathematics and taught military engin-eers during the war. But despite his background in math and physics, he was a pacifi st and refused to work on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. His pacifi sm infl uenced his daughter, who became a lifelong pacifi st herself. While growing up in Cali-fornia, Baez began experi-menting with rhythm and blues on a ukulele. From childhood, she was also blessed with an exquisite singing voice—one she learned early to develop as a way of fi tting in, as half-Mexican, with her white cohorts.
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were both born in 1941 and grew up in Queens. Simon came from a family of professional musicians and loved to listen to his father per-form in bands. When Simon was 11 years old, he became friends with a classmate, Art Garfun-kel, who lived just three blocks away. Garfunkel’s grandparents had mi-grated to America from Romania, so both he and Simon came from similar Jewish backgrounds and harbored similar musical ambitions, which Gar-funkel’s parents (like Simon’s) encouraged. Once they discovered that they appreciated each other’s voices in har-mony, they started to per-form as a teenage duo in the 1950s in school and before audiences, even
making a recording—all this before they emerged in the 1960s as two of the most poetic singers of the war baby generation.
Of course, this is only a small sampling of war baby entertainers and artists who modernized music and fi lm in Amer-ica. The point is, members of this unique generation (which has been un-fairly overshadowed by the boomers) were born, grew up, and became adults during the most stressful and transforma-tive years of the 20th century—and their re-sponses to the crises they faced were ingenious. Using their own pasts, experiences, and private struggles, they crafted a cultural revolution from which we’re still reaping the benefi ts today.

He received his B.A. from Rutgers Uni-versity in 1963 and his Ph.D. in history from Harvard in 1969, where he taught for three years. Subsequently, he was awarded fellowships from the Rockefeller Founda-tion, the Woodrow Wil-son International Cen-ter for Scholars, and the Guggenheim Foundation, as well as six Fulbright chairs and lectureships for teaching abroad, par-ticularly in Europe and Asia. Currently, he is Pro-fessor of History Emeri-tus at The University of Texas at Austin. Pells is primarily interested in 20th century American culture—movies, radio, television, art, music, literature, and the the-atre, all of which are re-fl ected in his fi ve books. Through his work, read-ers are treated to a his-tory of American cultural life from the 1930s to the present. War Babies is a prime example of the concerns and issues that have shaped Pells’s ca-reer. To learn more, please visit www.richardpells.com.
