Morgan Hanson-Olveira is a Grade 12 student at R.D Parker Collegiate and she has been offered two of the three most prestigious scholarships in Canada. However, she could only choose one. Hanson-Olveira turned down the Schulich Leader Scholarship, worth $60,000 to accept the TD Canada scholarship for $70,000.

Dr. Jane Thompson, executive director of TD scholarships for commun-ity leadership, says the scholarship prepares these future innovators with the things they need, to eventu-ally change the world. “We pay four years of tuition, and each of those four years we give the student $7,500 to help with their living ex-penses, and we also offer them a summer job at TD each year.”

Hanson-Olveira was one of 20 students across Can-ada to receive the schol-arship, beating out 2,480 other applications, and Thompson says the R.D Parker student received it for her community work. Hanson-Olveira is part of Students Offering Support (SOS), which she says she’s grateful for, because after joining that group her motivation to help people has grown. With the help of SOS, Hanson-Olveira has been raising aware-ness surrounding mental health in the community. She’s also helped raise money with the H3 group, Hands, Hearts and Hope, to build a school in Sierra Leone, as well as donating over 600 pounds of food to the Salvation Army this past October. The need for so-cial justice, and helping the world out, Hanson-Olveira

says, started in Grade 3 when her teacher showed a video about a girl, and all she had was one straw doll. Since watching that video, she’s been doing her part to create a better place for people to live.

When applying for the scholarship, Hanson-Olveira said she never ex-pected to be awarded it. The future University of Mani-toba student hopes to go into medicine. “Specifi cally I want to be a pediatric endo-crinologist. When I was six I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, so when I’m older I want to work with children who have diabetes as well, because I feel like I can re-late to them.”

On May 29, the Thomp-sonite travelled to Toronto to accept her scholarship. “The people who I met in Toronto, the other schol-ars, they’re going to be my friends for life, I just know. We all share something in common,” noted Hanson-Olveira.

Hanson-Olveira says none of this could have hap-pened without her teach-ers. “I want to thank all my teachers for everything they’ve done. They’ve in-spired me, they’re supported me, they’ve helped me when I’ve fallen, and I couldn’t have done it without them. There are so many other in-dividuals out there, doing things for their communities as well. Never would I have thought I could have got it. It’s been wonderful. All my family is really excited for me.”

Kelly Scallion, teaching vice-principal for R.D Par-ker, says it warms her heart watching Hanson-Olveira succeed. “Seeing your stu-dents go out, and make an exciting accomplishments is great. I’m so proud of

her with or without these scholarships. It’s so exciting to see what she’s going to

do in the future, when she fi nds different cures, and when she’s successful and

making an impact on the world, in whatever way she chooses to.”

Canine Cabin in Thomp-son is the recipient of a $5,000 grant that owner Tori Cordell won during the 2015 Vision Quest confer-ence in Winnipeg. Cordell heard about the Vision Quest application for rural businesses, and applied, but didn’t think it would go anywhere. “I entered it really last minute but they ended up extending the deadline, so it wasn’t as nice as I wanted it to be, so I didn’t think I was go-ing to get in. I did though, which was great.”

The 22-year-old busi-ness owner started her business in October 2014 because she believed it was needed in the city. “I want-ed to open it because there wasn’t really anywhere in town if you have a long day at work, a lunch meeting, and then something in the evening, to be able to leave your dogs so they weren’t in a kennel all day.”

When in Winnipeg Cordell brings her dogs to doggy day cares, and wanted Canine Cabin to offer that option as well. Dogs have the opportunity to play together, as well as

be groomed, and put into an overnight kennel.

Vision Quest is an an-nual trade show and con-ference that helps promote aboriginal business, com-munity and economic de-velopment. Cordell had to present her business plan with her fi nances, as well as a presentation in front of judges and an audience.

One-third of the score was based on the presen-tation, one-third on the business plan, and the fi nal third was based on the audience and what they thought. Cordell says although she was nerv-

ous during the presenta-tion, it was great meeting and learning about other small businesses, and says there’s even some she’ll take advantage of in the future for the business.

The money Cordell won has gone to business start-up costs, and she says she’s fi nally out of her debt from the start-up, since she won another grant last year for young entrepreneurs. Cor-dell also won a print that is now proudly hanging up on the wall at her business.

Vision Quest conference in Winnipeg in March. Cordell also won this print as part of her

prize.

Young business owner wins grant

I was on my way to Winnipeg a few weeks ago when I

got a text from Lois Cor-mier, manager of Aurora Dance Academy, “Did I ask you to emcee our re-cital yet?” No, she hadn’t and I had emceed the fi rst two years and was hon-oured to be asked again. I was wondering how they would ever top last year’s circus theme ...the Enchanted Forest, that’s how!

From the opening per-formance of ”Fairy Dance” to the big fi nale “Avatar” these talented dancers captivated the audience, from cute little dancers that make us smile and laugh out loud with their unexpected moves and expressions on their faces when they see the crowds, to the ballerinas that graced the Letke-mann Theatre stage. As I watched I couldn’t help but remember my daugh-ter Michelle tapping her way across the stage years ago.

Some of the instructors I watched at their recitals

when they were students and it’s great to see them now as instructors and teaching with such care and passion. I believe they are united together as one big dance family.

After the recital I went out for dinner and little ballerina Ava came to my table to say hello. She shared with me her favourite dance stories and we had a great little chat. Soon after Ava left a couple older girls, Han-nah and Sophia, came by and said thank you. On our way out of the res-taurant, I noticed Lois and her family and went over to let her and her family

know how much I loved the recital and am amazed at their talent. I told her how it warmed my heart to have dancers popping by my table to say thank you. Their students are so sweet and respectful and showing their appreciation to me was not expected and quite honestly I found it very heartwarming. I turned to walk away from the table and there was a line-up of more dancers offering up hugs. They again melted my heart. Not only are these stu-dents talented but they are so caring.

Thank you Aurora Dance Academy for a great experience. Diamond Dance Academy will be having their recital this weekend and I would en-courage you to get a ticket if you don’t already have one. Some of their students danced at our relay in the spring and are also very talented. One thing I truly believe is that we should always try to keep our children involved whether it be dance, sports, music, youth groups or even

family events such as go-ing for walks or playing board games. Keeping our children active is key. Hats

off to all parents that take the time volunteering or encouraging your chil-dren in being active.

Emceeing dance recital an honour

To the Editor:

“Wants We Have.” Do wants lead us to disappointment, sad-ness and resentment? Maybe! We cannot let that fear of rejection keep us hidden in a hole or separate from living with fulfillment. We are not always going to get what we want or when we want it. Does that mean we will never get it? We just have to learn to let go of the idea that if we don’t get it im-mediately, we will never have it. Think about the time it took to get some-thing you always want-ed. Remember, “wants we have” are natural and we may not get them now or that exact moment we may have wanted them.

It’s fi ne to hear Thompson RCMP’s top brass provide good news about crime in the city, but it would be even nicer if people could look at when and where crime is happen-

ing themselves whenever they wanted to see the day-to-day situation.

Unfortunately, however, they can’t, and must satisfy them-selves with the occasional news release highlighting a notable crime or bust.

If you look at the websites of the Brandon or Winnipeg police services, you’ll fi nd near-daily updates of calls they at-tended, some of which may be deemed not important enough to make the news. And you don’t need any special permis-sion. It’s all right there, out in public. Unfortunately, those of us in Thompson do not have the same opportunity.

At one time, Thompson RCMP did provide occasional re-ports detailing notable calls but that practice ended several years ago, though the Thompson Citizen still gets inquiries from time to time asking why we don’t print it, which we answer by pointing out that it no longer exists.

There are arguments to be made for why more frequent re-ports on crime in the city are not circulated, such as the staff time it requires, or a desire not to give people the impression that crime is a bigger problem than it actually is. On the other hand, people should have the right to judge for themselves and it’s diffi cult to see how anecdotal examples of crime could give people the wrong impression about the frequency of crime in their own community.

It’s been one year since University College of the North (UCN) opened their new doors in Thompson, and it has been a whirlwind says UCN president Konrad Jonasson. “We fi nally had the opportunity to have the majority of students under one roof, in a building de-signed to be a post-second-ary facility, whereas the past 22-plus years we’ve been operating out of three Polaris building, that were not designed for it.”

Within the new campus, which is attached to the Thompson Regional Com-munity Centre, the latest technology for distance learning can be found in all classrooms, as well as modern teaching tools for instructors to assist with teaching. Jonasson says another bonus is the close proximity to R.D Parker Colligate where dual credit courses are also now be-ing offered to high school students.

With every new ven-ture there are always a few bumps in the road, and Jonasson says UCN was no different. “There were a couple of incidents where the elevators weren’t working, most cases it was one of the two, so we still had access for people with physical challenges. We did have the one issue where we had a problem with the water and sewage system, where we had to close down for one day.”

Other issues brought forward during their six-

month review were air quality, so Jonasson says the facility is now equipped with air humidifi ers, as well as defects in concrete, which are being worked on.

One student, who asked that her name not be used, is studying for her bachelor of arts and is hoping to go into education. Shesays she decided to study at UCN because this is where her family lives. For her, one of the best things about UCN are the teachers. “I like the new campus, but what makes me like studying at UCN is the professors. I have very good profes-sors over the years that have been supportive and understanding. This has not changed from the old campus to the new.”

Jonasson says students have taken advantage of the child care services available at the campus as well as student housing. The student interviewd by the Thompson Citizen says her favourite thing is the new library.

Jonasson explained that the fi rst year is the hard-est, but UCN is here to stay. “I see the future as being unlimited. I see us really growing our student base in Thompson. We are cur-rently in discussions in-volving the Mystery Lake school division as well as the government of Mani-toba to build a trades train-ing facility in the vicinity of UCN and R.D. Parker.” The potential training facil-ity would expand what is offered at the Thompson campus the president men-

tioned.Student enrollment has

also gone up this past year by over 100 students. Currently enrolled in the Thompson campus are over 600 students, 40 per cent of them from outside of the city.

CARPENTRY/WOODWORKING


It’s been a busy year for the Aurora Dance Acad-emy with girls travelling to Winnipeg for conven-tions and holding recitals in Thompson. This year the girls even had the chance to dance beside a choreographer from So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD), the television show.

At the beginning of 2015, in January the dan-cers traveled to the IDance convention in Winnipeg, where 17-year-old Sofi a Lima, won a scholarship for a week-long intensive dance camp in Barcelona.

During the conven-tion, which is affi liated with SYTYCD, dance in-structors from Thompson had the chance to speak with Melissa Mitro from the show, who ended up coming to Thompson last month to work with the dancers. During her stay in Thompson, Mitro sur-prised the dancers with fi ve extra $750 scholar-ships to the Barcelona camp. The fi ve students who received the cheques are Kelsie Paulic, Hanna Lothian, Makayla Pynn, Sydney Vallance and Tay-lor Volanski.

Instructor Kaidie Mor-ris says having Mitro here meant a lot to her dancers. “It was crazy for even Sofi a to win the scholar-ship in Winnipeg, and now for other girls to have the opportunity to go to together, it was something that would have never happened if she didn’t come up here to teach. She was a positive role model for these girls.”

Lima will be heading to the August camp, but Morris says she’s unsure about the other girls, as their parents now need to look at the fi nances of the trip.

Lois Cormier, manager of Aurora Dance, says the dancers have worked hard all year and have done so well in the differ-ent competitions they’ve competed in. “They have worked so hard. The girls have asked us to make bedrooms upstairs so they can sleep here. They come here right after school, and leave at 9 o’clock at the earliest.”

In December at the ADAPT dance exams in Thompson, Lothian and Eva Parobec had the high-est exam marks, Parobec and Amy Shier also won $100 scholarships in

March at the Thunder-Struck Dance Competition in Winnipeg for winning fi rst overall in their cat-egory. At the same com-petition Dennita Cameron won top routine in teen future star category, and Kelsie Paulic won the special judges award.

In April the academy took part in the Candance Dance Competition in Regina and the Festival of the Arts in Thompson where instructor Ashley Genaille won most out-standing choreography.

The academy fi nished off the year with their “Enchanted Forest” Dance recital which took place on June 7.

Cormier noted that dance is not just dance for these dancers; it’s about everything else that comes along with the hobby. “Dance is more than just dance. It’s the discipline, it’s the rela-tionships, it’s the drive the girls have. I always used to say paying for dance is cheaper than paying for bail. To me the more kids that dance the better. It’s keeping kids out of trouble.”

Registration for Sep-tember will be open at the end of June.

Thompson tops in fi ve divisions at skateboard and BMX championships


Thompson skateboard-ers and bikers were the high fl yers at the 13th-annual Northern Mani-toba Skateboard and BMX Championship at the Nor-plex skatepark June 6, taking top spot in all three skateboarding categories and two of three BMX div-isions while claiming 12 of the 16 top-three places overall.

The 12-and-under skateboarding competition was a sweep for Thomp-son, with D.J. Hunter tak-ing top prize, Karalyn Blackmore second place and Kage Jesso third. The 18-and-over BMX category was also an all-Thompson affair with Tomasz Bak, Sean Gillis and Matt Hause – the only competitors in the division – fi nishing in that order.

Luke Cablik of Thomp-son won top prize as the only 12-and-under BMX competitor, while Jack Robson was third in the 13- to 17-year-old BMX event behind winner Bran-don Sawchyn of The Pas and runner-up Cole Bland-Hart of Churchill.

The 13- to 17-year-old skateboarding crown went to Brayden Wood of Thompson, while Ethan Moore was the host city’s other top-three fi nisher, coming in third behind Dre Lafreniere of Opaskwayak Cree Nation.

Thompson’s Justin Goulding was fi rst in the 18-and-over skateboard-ing event, beating out Brendon Sanderson of Winnipeg and Cahlin Jesso of Thompson.

Approximately 200 people came out over the course of the day to watch

35 competitors, the young-est of whom was only four years old. The competi-

tion, organized by Funky Threadz in The Pas, rotates among Northern Manitoba

skateparks from year to year. It was fi rst held in Thompson in 2011.


Above, Jack Robson of Thompson, who placed third in the 13- to 17-year-old BMX com-

petition, catches some air. Below, Brendon Sanderson of Winnipeg, who placed second in

the 18-and-over skateboarding event, grinds the spine.

Road trip to Alberta no big deal

for Thompson lacrosse player


Thompson’s Taylor Ritchie has had his fi rst taste of junior B lacrosse with the Manitoba Bliz-zard and so far he’s enjoy-ing the ride.

“I’m loving it,” said Ritchie, who made his debut with the team May 22, when the Blizzard lost back-to-back games to the Edmonton Warriors before rebounding the follow-ing day with an 11-5 win. The fi nal weekend of May was his fi rst road trip with the team, which left Win-nipeg for Calgary follow-ing practice on Thursday night, arriving the follow-ing afternoon and play-ing their fi rst game Fri-day evening, beating the Rockyview Silvertips 8-5. They suffered their only loss of the four-game trip May 30, falling 14-12 to the Calgary Mountaineers after a third period come-back attempt fell short. They then beat the Silver-tips 9-4 later that day and knocked off the Okotoks Marauders 12-3 on the last day of the month be-fore heading home.

“We were happy,” said Ritchie, noting that even the one loss had some positives as the team made it a two-goal dif-ferential after trailing by much more. “Our fi rst two periods were pretty bad. [In the third period] we showed that we can com-pete with them.”

Ritchie has an advan-tage over his Winnipeg teammates because the

gruelling road trip was just what he’s used to, play-ing at least three hockey games on weekend road trips as a member of the Norman Northstars, dur-ing which the team drives about 1,400 kilometres.

“It wasn’t so bad for me,” said Ritchie.

It hasn’t taken the one Thompson player long to mesh with his teammates.

“We have a pretty tight group this year,” says Ritchie, who feels pretty good about his play so far. “I feel I’ve played some pretty strong defence.”

Offensively, he’s notched a couple of as-sists but would like to the get his fi rst goal under his belt.

“I’m sure I’ll get a chance eventually,” he said.

Ritchie was off from the Blizzard but not from la-crosse last weekend, join-ing his R.D. Parker Col-legiate teammates for the high school fi eld lacrosse playoffs. This weekend he’ll be back in Winni-peg again as the Bliz-zard play a pair of games against the Saskatchewan Swat. Ritchie says the competitiveness of the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League is similar to what he experienced at lacrosse nationals in his four trips there with Manitoba’s provincial box lacrosse team, except for the size of the players

“Now everyone’s so big, so fast,” he said. “There’s no weak links to the teams.”

Thompson Teachers’ As-sociation (TTA) members voted in favour June 1 of a four-year collective bar-gaining agreement that will see them receive a two per cent raise in each of the fi rst

three years and a raise of 1.5 per cent at the beginning of the 2017-18 school year and again on Jan. 1, 2018.

“I would say that it was overwhelming in favour of the new agreement,” said TTA president Shaun Ken-nedy.

The agreement with the School District of Mystery Lake is retroactive to the be-ginning of the current school year. The teachers’ previous contract expired June 30, 2014.

Compounded, the total increase over the four years

of the contract, which runs until June 30, 2018, is a little over 9.3 per cent.

Class V teachers with no experience will receive about $59,741 for the current school year and by Janu-ary 2018 the salary will be $64,033. A Class VII teacher

with 10 years of experience will receive approximately $103,630 for the current school year and the salary will be $111,076 as of Janu-ary 2018.

A Class V teacher is one with fi ve years of post-secondary education in-

cluding at least one year of professional coursework. A Class VII teacher is one with seven years of postsecond-ary education, including at least a master’s degree or the equivalent and at least one year of professional course-work.

Teachers ratify new four-year contract

Vale presents huge

cheque to curling clubBY MOLLY GIBSON [email protected]

Vale presented a cheque to the Burntwood Curling Club, during the annual general meeting on June 1, for their new ice plant.

Grant Brown, elected president of the curling club, who was previously past president, went to the City of Thompson ex-plaining that a new ice plant was needed during

the 2015 budget talks.The ice plant currently

being used was installed in 1968, and is still kick-ing, but Grant says it’s ready to be replaced.

The new plant, which will cost $178,379, is coming from Cimco. The expenses are being broken into four different areas; the plant and installa-tion will cost $146,997, the electrical work will be $1,200, a contractor will cost $9,660 and combined PST and GST will have a price tag of $20,522.

The city has provided the down payment of the new equipment at a cost of $40,000 as well as a loan/debenture of $66,277. The Community Places Program will give $30,000 to the club once the instal-lation is complete, and the 2014/2015 fi sh fry revenue from the club to-talled $4,602.

The Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries small capital sponsorship program has granted the club $25,000 and Vale announced $12,500. “With Vale we get a lot of requests and what we have been talk-ing about, is that we’re part of the community, but not the sole part of the community. We really look towards community clubs working with us to generate what they need to do like replacing the ice plant,” explained Lovro Paulic, who presented the cheque to Grant Brown and Alex Sutherland.

The down payment cheque was given to Cim-co on May 25, and instal-lation will start soon.
