Make us an offer: cottagersCabin owners ‘overwhelmingly oppose’ annexation

Man, 23,struck;arson

unsolvedJonathon NaylorEditor

Flin Flon RCMP are investigat-i n g a f a t a l

pedestrian collision in Sherridon and a disturbing arson off o f S o u t h M a i n Street.

This past Monday, Sept. 3, at about 1 a.m., police and para-medics were d is -patched to the scene of an accident in Sherridon, northeast of Flin Flon.

A 23-year-old man – a resident of The Pas whose name was not released – was found deceased on the roadway. Initial investigation indi-cated he had been struck by a vehicle.

Police located a vehicle believed to be involved, but as of press time Wednesday no further detai ls were released.

t h r e e d a y s a f t e r Mounties responded to a suspicious fire in the back alley behind Taylor Automotive o n S o u t h M a i n Street.

Last Friday, Aug. 31 at 1:21 a.m., they joined firefighters at a blaze consuming a large wood pile near n o t o n l y Ta y l o r A u t o m o t i v e , b u t homes as well.

A portion of South Main was temporarily closed as firefighters doused the flames, which were reported by an alert motorist.See ‘Pour...’ on pg.3

Area cabin owners have thrown the ball back in Flin

Flon City Council’s court in the ongoing debate over whether cottagers owe the municipality financial sup-port.

In a letter to council, two cottagers’ organizations call on council to list the services the city could pro-vide to cabin owners and how much money would be expected in return.

“We believe the list should be specific and include a rationale for each service proposed,” wrote Mark Watling and Ian McKay, respective presi-dents of the Schist Lake /

Big Island and Little Athapap cottage owners associations.

They wrote that cottag-ers would expect such a proposal to include all non-resident users of municipal services, not just cottage

owners.It was the cottagers’ first

organized response to council’s request that they agree to provide some form of financial aide or risk being annexed by the city.

Council has not for-

mally put forth any finan-cial figures, instead asking that cottagers do so.

But the cottage associa-tions said “it is more appro-priate that the provider or owner of the services should generate the pro-

“The proposed annexation is solely

to generate revenue for Flin Flon in

a time of decreasing population.”

posal for the sale of such services.”

On the issue of annexa-tion, the associations were blunt: “The cottage owners overwhelmingly oppose any annexation.”

As they see it, “the pro-posed annexation is solely to generate revenue for Flin Flon in a time of decreasing population and increasing operational and capital costs.”

The letter said it has been implied that most or all services that cottagers already pay for “would continue to be borne by the cottage owners in addition to future taxes paid to Flin Flon” if annexation occurs.See ‘Inherent...’ on pg.6

said it appeared that who-ever started the fire poured gasoline on the wood pile and lit it ablaze.

He said the fire did not

come close to spreading to nearby buildings, as firefighters were on scene in a prompt fashion.

The city deployed a front-end loader to tear apart the wood pile, allowing firefighters to

extinguish the fire more promptly.

Police ask anyone with information on the arson to contact the Flin Flon detachment at 687-1423 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Take Greyhound complaints to province: cityJonathon NaylorEditor

If you’ve got complaints about recent reductions in highway bussing,

take them to the Manitoba government.

That was city council’s message Tuesday after a concerned resident con-demned Greyhound’s cuts to its Flin Flon-Winnipeg service.

“I think people would be much better off writing the province at this point in time,” said Coun. Bill Hanson. “We’ve kind of done our part. I don’t know if we’ve done all we can, but I think people writing directly to (the province or their MLA) would probably have more (effect).”

Mayor George Fontaine said letters opposing the bussing cuts should at least be “CCed” to the province as “they need to be aware that we’re getting this kind of message.”

“And we certainly have

put our voice out,” he added.

Effect ive July 1 , Greyhound halved its Flin Flon-Winnipeg service, offering travel between the two communities only overnight. It also eliminated its Flin Flon-Snow Lake-Thompson run.

The move came after the NDP government elim-inated a subsidy it had granted to Greyhound in order to prop up less popu-lar routes.

But the province has to some degree shifted the blame to municipalities by calling for “community-led, non-profit delivery of passenger services” to replace lost Greyhound services.

Regardless of who deserves the blame, con-cerned resident Joan Evans just wants something done.

“I wish to express my strongest objection to the changes that (Greyhound)

made to the scheduled run from Flin Flon to Winnipeg and back,” she wrote in a letter council reviewed at their regular meeting Tuesday. “My understand-ing is that these runs are to be made only at night, which I find ridiculous.”

Evans said many people use the bus for medical travel and “if their health is compromised they need rest at night, not a (lengthy) bus ride. What about the patients sent to The Pas for certain procedures? Are those available at night?”

She said she cannot “understand how the Manitoba government will save money by cutting the bus subsidy, only to face higher patient travel costs by flying people around to their appointments.

“I realize the distance to northern communities is farther and the cost of fuel is much higher, but can that problem not be eased with a reasonable raise in ticket

prices. Let’s not forget that this bus not only serves Flin Flon, but Flin Flon, Saskatchewan, Creighton, and Denare Beach residents as well. Perhaps the Saskatchewan government could kick in a bit!!”

Evans outlined her con-cerns with nighttime bus-ses, including the likelihood that few facilities will be open along the route and “not everyone is comfort-

able or even capable of using the washroom on a moving bus.”

She said children of a certain age who once rode the day bus unaccompanied can no longer do so, and that “trouble is more apt to occur” at nighttime.

Added Evans: “Some riders will reach their desti-nation in the middle of the night and could be left wait-ing for a ride home. How

safe is that for a young lady, an elderly person, or anyone in the middle of January?”

If a bus route had to be cut, Evans suggested it makes more sense to keep the daytime service.

Claiming it was losing money, Greyhound threat-ened to end all passenger services in Manitoba in early October of 2009. It later agreed to negotiate with the province.

Letter to the EditorDear Editor,

Ov e r t h e p a s t months, maybe over a year, we

have heard so much negativity regarding our RHA.

I have to admit the situation regarding the clinic did raise my ire. Change is not always received in a positive way; however, what is done is done, just get over it!

I unfortunately spent the last five days in hospital. I was over-whelmed by the treat-ment I received!

Starting with, Dr. Madhi, who was the clinic on-call doctor, who went out of his way to get my problem seen to. At that time he

wasn’t even my family doctor. His caring and compassion, I haven’t seen in years!

The nurses on fifth floor are an honour to their profession. They were so cheerful and caring, explaining the meds that were ordered, trying to help with sug-gestions for pain relief and were so interested in how comfortable you were and if there was anyth ing they could do, etc.

X-ray and ul t ra-sound staff were the same, cheerful and car-ing. Even the ambu-lance drivers on the way to The Pas for scans – driving over that highway under construction in pain is

no picnic, but they did all they could to make the trip as comfortable as possible. The dietary staff served fresh, tasty meals that were good.

T h e h o s p i t a l i s bright, very clean and there aren’t hallways c l u t t e r e d w i t h mach ines , l aundry carts, etc., that you see in the city.

Through the years I have unfor tunate ly been in three different hospitals in Winnipeg and if I am unfortunate to have to be admitted again and had a choice; I would choose the Flin Flon General Hospital, hands down!

Sincerely,Gail BakerFlin Flon

Student ride...New school buses have hit the streets of Flin Flon as First Student Canada now has the bussing contract with the Flin Flon and Creighton school divisions. This bus pulled out from the Victoria Inn parking lot on Wednesday morning. The buses are being parked there until First Student’s new garage on Third Ave., beside KFC, is ready.

Local slo pitch team earns provincial title

The Evil Marsupials, of the Flin Flon Creighton Slo Pitch League, picked up a provincial title this past weekend in Winnipeg. The local team defeated a southern team by one run – adding to their successful season.

Snow Lake, Cormorant joining taekwondo movementSubmitted by Northern Spirit Taekwondo Academy

Does the North have Spirit?

It does since the Northern Spir i t Taekwondo Academy is growing.

In the fall of 2012, both Cormorant and Snow Lake wi l l be joining the a l ready established Flin Flon, D e n a r e B e a c h a n d C r a n b e r r y P o r t a g e Academies.

T h e C o r m o r a n t Academy will be run by 4th Degree, Master Roland Misling from The Pas.

In Snow Lake 1st Degree Black Belt Mr. Bernard Fourie will be instructing the branch under the supervision o f M a s t e r A n d y Jedele.

All instructors in

N o r t h e r n S p i r i t Taekwondo Academy are certified with WTF Taekwondo Canada.

Typical Taekwondo classes provide a total body workout.

Repetitive practice of various hand and kicking techniques, Taekwondo poomse (patterns), and sparring provide a great cardio-vascular workout.

Taekwondo training also improves flexibil-ity, coordination, motor r e f l e x e s a n d b o d y speed.

Together with prop-er diet , i t promotes good mental and phys-ical health.

One of the benefits o f Nor the rn Sp i r i t Taekwondo Academy is that there are 5th Degree Black Belts in the area that are able to test black belts.

In the past all stu-dents had to travel to Winnipeg to test.

This added benefit has promoted the spirit in the North.

All of the academies will be preparing to travel to up and coming tournaments this year.

The next tournament will be heldin Yorkton, Sask., on Oct. 27.

Taekwondo registra-tion for each of the academies is open all year so that members are able to join at any time at their conve-nience.

Main camp shows promise for BombersKelly CarringtonStaff Writer

Following a fiercely competitive main camp, the Flin Flon

Bombers are now in mid-preseason.

Head coach and GM Mike Reagan says play-ers at the camp worked hard and never let up.

“There were no disap-pointments, really,” said the coach, now entering his sixth season behind the bench.

“We were pretty happy with everyone and the way they came to camp and the (competition) level.”

Having an older and more mature group of guys at the main camp this year brought the com-petition to a new level, said the coach.

“...making the trade in the off-season and bring-ing in two new forwards really made everything c o m p e t i t i v e , ” s a i d Reagan. “We’ve got some t o u g h d e c i s i o n s t o make.”

The camp started with 55 Bomber hopefuls and was trimmed down to 33 before this weekend’s action.

Tough decisions are still ahead as the team will have to drop a few more players as the sea-son progresses.

“The skill level of this camp is a lot higher than we’ve had in the past,” said Reagan.

The Bomber rookies took their game on the road and defeated the

Nipawin Hawks 6-1 at their first exhibition game this past Monday, Sept. 3.

Flin Flon lost 4-3 the following night while in OCN to take on the rival Blizzard of the MJHL.

Monday’s high-scor-ing road game impressed Reagan, but he knows one can’t read too much into the preseason.

But, he says, even the practices the team is hold-ing are looking promis-ing.

‘Very impressed’“I’m very impressed

with how we’ve moved the puck and even...our first real practice – a pre-game skate – they look like they are mid-season form with some of the things they are doing,” said Reagan.

“I think that’s really exciting.”

Reagan, himself a for-mer Bomber, says the momentum from the practices and the com-petitiveness from the camp is a good thing.

“...there is going to be highs and lows through-out the year,” he said when asked if burning out early was a possibility.

“We know that you’re going to go through stretches where you lose a couple in a row,” he said. “That’s to be expect-ed.”

A n d w h e n t h o s e stretches occur, Reagan said focus will be cru-cial.

“When that happens, your biggest focus has to

be to get out of a skid, and as quick as possible,” the coach said.

Though this year’s players are older than last year’s, Reagan reminds fans that some are still teenagers.

“...some teams handle (the mental) part of the game better than others,” he said. “We’d be fooling ourselves to think we weren’t going to have some tough stretches throughout the year.”

The Bombers will host t h e S w a n Va l l e y

Stampeders tonight and the Nipawin Hawks on Sunday.

The OCN Blizzard will be in town this Tuesday, Sept. 11, for a rematch before Flin Flon heads to Swan Valley next Friday to end out the preseason.

Heading into a tough division once again, Reagan says the Bombers know full well this sea-son is going to be com-petitive.

“It always is. Wins are tough to come by in the

North,” he said.Preseason

The Bombers earned a strong 6-1 win over the Hawks to start their exhi-bition season.

“We got some lucky goals, but they were earned lucky goals,” Reagan said. “We worked really hard.”

The Bombers and Hawks both dressed rookies for their first matchup.

“I thought for a bunch of rookies, we competed hard. It’s tough to win games on the road,” Reagan said.

The team’s first game was a “good start” to the preseason, he said.

Next, the Bombers were in OCN Tuesday night, narrowly losing 4-3.

“It’s always an inter-esting affair in OCN,” Reagan said prior to the game.

With a new coach on the OCN bench, Reagan said he wasn’t sure what to expect, but hoped to see more hockey than boxing.

“That’s my biggest concern,” he said.

“That’s not what we’re here to do. We’re here to play hockey and hope-fully they are, too.”

Tonight, the Bombers welcome Swan Valley before hosting their annu-al golf tournament tomor-row.

R e a g a n s a i d t h e matchup against the

Hawks was going to be the game to watch.

The teams are both set to dress mainly veterans, depending on injuries, for their second game against each other this pre-season.

“They’ve got a good returning group and so do we,” Reagan said. “We expect that to be very competitive.”

Preseason is important for teams as it gives coaches and players an idea of how everyone matches up, but Reagan says it’s not something to put all your effort into.

“We don’t want to put too much into preseason, but at the same time, you can really use i t as momentum going into the season,” said the coach.

Reagan says everyone has to realize that these are exhibition games.

If the team performs well, they can’t get too wrapped up in it. And if the team doesn’t do as well, they can’t beat themselves up over it.

“It’s about seeing where your team is at and tweaking a few things,” the coach said, adding that it’s a chance to see who works well togeth-er.

The Bombers will start their season on Sept. 21 in Melfort and will bring the Mustangs to the Whitney Forum the next night for their own home opener.

Assistant coach Michael George addresses players at the main camp.

The Black vs White intrasquad game, held last Sunday, allowed Bomber hopefuls to put their talents on display.

‘Inherent unfairness’ seen in annexationContinued from pg. 1“There is an inherent

unfairness for a city to annex huge areas of resi-dents solely to generate revenue in order to lower their residents’ tax bur-den,” it read.

The associations argued that cottagers use only two “significant” municipally funded services, recreation facilities and the Flin Flon Fire Department.

“The cottage areas pur-chased equipment for the Flin Flon Fire Department and have had a bill-for-service arrangement for fire fighting,” they wrote. “We agree that the recre-ation facilities could be charged out at a higher rate

to out of town users. If Flin Flon would do this for Creighton, Denare Beach, Pelican Narrows, etc. as well as the cottage areas, perhaps revenues would come closer to paying for operational deficits.”

The associations fur-ther asserted that “cottage communities are distinct with their choices and lifestyles.”

“They have made their own arrangements,” read the letter, “for (a) sewage lagoon, pump outs, indi-vidual water systems, separate landfill with no garbage pickup, road maintenance, reduced snow plowing, policing through a rural (detach-

ment) in Cranberry Portage, etc. This distinct-ness includes deciding to live without urban services such as delivered potable water, paved roads, side-walks, street lighting, bus services, quick response to emergency services, etc.”

Property taxesAnnexation would

make the cottage areas part of Flin Flon, requiring cot-tagers to pay assessment-based property taxes just like in-town residents.

In the associations’ view, annexation would bring “the probable results of severe taxation and no provisions of services.”

The letter, dated Aug. 24, did not appear on the

agenda at Tuesday’s coun-cil meeting, but The Reminder obtained a copy from City Hall.

Offered a chance to comment, Mayor George Fontaine said he and coun-cil had not had sufficient t ime to formulate a response but will write back to the associations.

Las t month , The Reminder ran an in-depth article gauging the reac-tion of individual cottagers to the city’s talk of fees and potential annexation.

A sampling of their comments:

“What about the people that are living in Creighton, in Denare? They’re not paying for city services

and yet they’re using some of them.”

– John Munson“I’m thinking that

we’re talking about two entirely different areas (cottage subdivisions and Flin Flon). They (the city) haven’t real ly ever approached us as far as saying, ‘This is what we would provide for you.’ So if they’re not going to give us anything, I’m really wondering how they can even think of asking for something from us.”

– Sue Lindsay“We already pay taxes.

We can’t help that it’s not to Flin Flon. That’s just the way it is here.”

– Farley Hemmings

“A monetary sum, yeah, I got no problem there because realistically we probably should be paying something. I mean, we do use the town sup-plies and everything – well, except for water and garbage, we don’t have any of that out here, or fire protection.”

– Rick Jackson“A lot of people are

retired out here. They’re on a fixed income. They’ve used a lot of their life sav-ings to move to the lake to retire. There are many people who have said they just can’t afford to (live here) if the city proceeds with what they’re doing.”

– Mark Watling

Eight incidents kept Fl in Flon f i re-fighters busy last

month, c i ty counci l learned Tuesday.

At their regular meet-ing, council reviewed the fire chief’s report for August:

Saturday, Aug. 4, 11:40 PM: A call was received from 911 stat-ing there was a house fire on Boam Street. Upon arrival, firefight-ers found a fully involved structure with many exposures.

The exposures were quickly protected with water lines and the main fire was brought under control. The residents of the home were awak-ened by the sound of the fire and the smoke detec-tors; the fire department rescued two cats from the basement.

The fire chief and n i n e f i r e f i g h t e r s responded. The fire chief called up an investigator from the Office of the Fire Commissioner as the fire started on the exterior of the struc-ture.

Monday, Aug. 6 , 5:30 PM: A call was r e c e i v e d f r o m 9 11 requesting assistance at a quad acc ident on M a n d y M i n e r o a d . Firef ighters learned upon their arrival at the Fire Hall that they were not in fact required. The on-call officer and four firefighters responded.

Wednesday, Aug. 8, 7:53 PM: A call was received from 911 stat-ing that there was a bush fire off Bellevue Avenue. Upon arrival, firefight-

ers found a small fire, wh ich was qu ick ly extinguished. The fire chief and 16 firefighters responded.

Wednesday, Aug. 8, 8:40 PM: A call was received that there was a bush fire off the old company road near Channing. Upon arrival, f irefighters found a small fire, which was quickly extinguished.

The fire chief and 16 firefighters responded.

Sunday, Aug. 12, 5:30 PM: A call was received from the ambu-lance requesting assis-tance to lift a patient into a plane at the air-port. The on-call officer and four firefighters responded.

“I see the work of the visionary chiefs who established MKO when I look at the very strong organization that MKO has become today,” he said in a news release.

Winning on the sec-ond bal lo t , Harper received 66 of 115 votes by member First Nat ions chiefs and council lors – eight more than he needed to claim victory.

In second place with 49 votes was Mike Muswagon, a former Norway House band councillor who cur-rently serves as assis-t an t t o Ch ie f Ron Evans.

Harper reclaims post as region’s top chief


One caring teen’s legacy continues to live on through

the Cailie Rae Church M e m o r i a l B u r s a r y Fund.

Last month, Travis Church of Swan River accepted a $2,500 as win-ner of the Fund’s 50/50 draw.

This past June, the Fund also awarded a $1,000 bursary to Carissa Zoerb upon her gradua-t i o n f r o m H a p n o t Collegiate.

The recipient of anoth-er $500 bursary, for a Grade 9 student, will be named a t Hapnot ’s upcoming undergraduate awards ceremony.

The Fund awards a bursary to a Hapnot Collegiate graduate pur-suing a career in the per-forming arts. Each year it also covers instrument rental fees for a needy band student at the high school.

cessfully were Chris B a k e r , c h i e f o f O-P ipon-Na-P iwin C r e e N a t i o n , a n d

George Neepin, chief o f Fox Lake Cree Nation.

Harper ’s election

was followed by a tra-ditional blessing cer-emony by Cree elders and honour songs from

t h e D e n e Yo u t h Drummers from Lac B r o c h e t a n d t h e Bloodline Drum from O p a s k w a y a k C r e e Nation.

Grand Chief Harper then took the MKO oath of office to for-mally begin his second term.

Dur ing h i s f i r s t term, in the fall of 2010, Harper made a point of attending the “first blast” ceremony a t Hudbay’s La lor m i n e n e a r S n o w Lake.

He called Lalor part of the solution to high unemployment rates on northern reserves

and among aboriginal people in general.

Harper, formerly chief of Garden Hill First Nation, was first elected as MKO Grand Chief in 2009.

Eligible to vote in the Grand Chief elec-t ion are al l chiefs , headmen and council-lors of MKO member Fist Nations.

I n c o r p o r a t e d i n 1981, MKO is a polit-ical advocacy organi-zation that speaks for m o s t n o r t h e r n M a n i t o b a F i r s t Nations.

Cailie Rae Church is remembered as a kind, caring young woman. She was just 15 when she lost her life in an automo-bile accident in August 2010.

Not only was Cailie a m e m b e r o f H a m Sandwich, she was also part of Dinner Theatre

and band at Hapnot, played the piano, took guitar lessons and sang with her friends.

This past summer, friends and family of Cailie’s gathered at The Orange Toad for a coffee house to celebrate the teen’s life and raise money for the Fund.

Virtually all of the entertainers on hand knew Cailie. In a beauti-ful collection basket, attendees dropped dona-tions toward the Fund.

Fittingly, guests dined on some of Cailie’s favourite desserts, fondly prepared by The Orange Toad.

Teen’s legacy lives on


The full letter the Little Athapap and Schist Lake /

Big Island cottage own-ers associations sent to city council:

Pursuant to our agree-ment to respond to the meeting with the mayor of Flin Flon held on June 19, 2012, and after much consideration and con-sultation with the mem-bers of the associations, we submit the follow-ing:

The Little Athapap and Schist Lake / Big Island Cottage Owners Associations are responding to the may-or’s request that the cot-tage areas submit a pro-posal to provide signifi-cant revenue to the city in order to stave off an attempt at annexation with the probable results of severe taxation and no provisions of ser-vice.

The members of the two associations have met and we believe our position can be summa-rized with the following two points:

First: The cottage owners overwhelmingly oppose any annexation. The reasons are: the pro-posed annexation is solely to generate reve-nue for Flin Flon in a time of decreasing pop-ulation and increasing operational and capital costs. Also, it is impor-tant to affirm that the cottage owners are satis-

fied with their current level of service. It was clearly implied that the cost of most if not all of these services would continue to be borne by the cottage owners in addition to future taxes paid to Flin Flon. There is an inherent unfairness for a city to annex huge areas of residents solely to generate revenue in order to lower their resi-dents’ tax burden.

In addition, the cot-tage communities are distinct with their choic-es and lifestyles. They have made their own arrangements for (a) sewage lagoon, pump outs, individual water systems, separate land-fill with no garbage pickup, road mainte-nance, reduced snow plowing, policing through a rural (detach-ment) in Cranberry Portage, etc. This dis-tinctness includes decid-ing to live without urban services such as deliv-ered potable water, paved roads, sidewalks, street lighting, bus ser-vices, quick response to emergency services, etc.

The only two signifi-cant services currently utilized from Flin Flon are recreation facilities and the volunteer fire department. The cottage areas purchased equip-ment for the Flin Flon Fire Department and have had a bill-for-ser-vice arrangement for fire

fighting. We agree that the recreation facilities could be charged out at a higher rate to out of town users. If Flin Flon would do this for Creighton, Denare Beach, Pelican Narrows, etc. as well as the cot-tage areas, perhaps rev-enues would come clos-er to paying for opera-tional deficits.

Second: Flin Flon requested that the cot-tage areas come up with a funding option to be paid to Flin Flon for the obvious uses such as recreation, but also oth-ers such as roads and sidewalks we use access-ing businesses, water and sewage treatment plants (not utilized except when frequenting rec facilities of busi-nesses), policing which is not provided by Flin Flon, even watching Bomber hockey games for which the mayor claims Flin Flon taxpay-ers subsidize nonresi-dents.

We believe it is more appropriate that the pro-vider or owner of the services should generate the proposal for the sale of such services.

We believe that the City of Flin Flon should generate a list of servic-es which the city could provide to cottage own-ers and a schedule of appropriate charges for consideration. We believe the list should be specific and include a rationale for each ser-vice proposed. We would expect such a proposal to include all non-resi-dent users, not just the Little Athapap, Schist Lake and Big Island cot-tage owners.

In conclusion, we recognize the need for the cottage owners to have some form of incorporated status to allow us to enter into use agreements with the City of Flin Flon or oth-ers, and we are actively exploring our options in this matter.

Thank YouThe Denare Beach Recreation Board would like to

extend thanks to the NORTHERN NEIGHBOURS FOUNDATION and the MOFFATT FAMILY FUND for providing us with funding to purchase and install a bicycle rack at the Denareplex as well as a swing set with an accessible seat at the Amisk Drive Park.

My Take on Snow LakeMarc JacksonSnow Lake Writer

The name Lalor (pronounced LAW-ler) has been on

tongues and in the minds of many over the past number of years.

It’s the mine that not only saved Snow Lake from a demise, but also a property that is sure to help restore the commu-nity to its past grandeur.

The designation leads a person to ask, “Where did the name come from?”

We all know the Lalor property is named as such because of its proximity to the lake that bears that name – Lalor Lake. But where do we go from there?

M a n i t o b a Conservation states Lalor Lake was named in 1973 after a Royal Canadian Air Force pilot, Officer Fintan H. Lalor of Pine Falls, who never made it overseas during the Second World War. He died serving in No. 34 Ventura Operational Training Unit.

Further research shows pilot officer and navigator Fintan Howard Lalor was a slim (5’ 11” and 142 lbs.), blue-eyed, Catholic boy. His father was Patrick Michael Lalor, his mother Myrtle Edna Lalor (nee Wright). He had three brothers, Michael, Terrance and George (who was also an enlisted man), as well as a sister, Mary.

Nineteen-year-old Fintan Lalor enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) on Nov. 21, 1941 in Winnipeg. He was posted to the No. 34 Operational Training Unit Detachment , RCAF Station in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, when he met his untimely death.

An essay on Lalor, as a young man, noted that he was a graduate of St. Paul’s High School in Winnipeg who got good grades and participated in extracurricular activities like rugby and drama.

As with others from that era, he joined the

military and was assigned to the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was an A+ student, which made him a very good choice for a pilot or pilot officer.

The assessor who interviewed Lalor com-mented on how “well put together” and “how eager” the young man was to begin his military career.

On March 13, 1943, Fintan Lalor was acting as the navigator during an exercise in a Ventura air-craft with three other men: pupil pilot T.A. Corr; wireless operator / air gunner D.A. Cannon; and passenger R.H. Faulkner.

The weather report for the day was overcast, above 4,000 feet, with visibility from four to six miles and west-northwest to northwest wind at about eight to 12 miles per hour.

The mission was a 500-ft. bombing run, fol-lowed by a front, turret and under-gun-firing training exercise over the coast of Port Maitland, Nova Scotia.

Never returnedThe p lane never

returned and all that was found during the initial search was a set of land-ing gear and a punctured dingy that was identified as belonging to the miss-ing aircraft.

Fintan Howard Lalor was presumed dead on March 13, 1943, along with the three others on the aircraft. He received two posthumous awards, including the general ser-vice medal and the war medal and C.V.S.P clasp, without ever seeing a battle.

It was stated that Fintan H. Lalor gave his life for his country, and even though he didn’t go over-seas to fight an enemy, his death is without doubt considered honourable.

The official report of the missing aircraft read: “On the afternoon of Saturday, Mar. 13/43, F/L D.G. Lacey, F l igh t Commander Armament Flight, authorized P/O Corr as pilot, P/O Lalor

observer and Sgt. Cannon W.O.A.G. to take off at 1645 hours in Ventura AJ173 for the purpose of carrying out bombing and gunnery exercises. The bombing was to be under-taken at the Pubnico Range and the gunnery at Port Maitland and the crew were given strict instructions to land at 1800 hours.

“As this was the first exercise of this type to be carried out by this par-ticular crew at this Unit, they were briefed before takeoff by the Gunnery Officer. They also signed the Air Firing Range Orders as having read and understood. The last sig-nal received from the aircraft informed the base that bombing had been

completed and that it was proceeding to the gunnery range.

“At 1845 hours, when the aircraft had not returned, the Flight Commander Armament

Flight requested that overdue action be taken, and on the following morning an intensive search by air and sea was organized without result.See ‘Lobster...’ on pg.13

Th i s p a s t M o n d a y , C a n a d i a n s

across the country celebrated Labour Day.

L a b o u r D a y i s more than a holiday.

A s w e m a r k L a b o u r D a y, w e remember the work-ing women and men who built Canada and we honour the important contribu-tions of the labour m o v e m e n t t o Canadian society.

The labour move-ment has fought not just for justice for its members but for al l Canadians. I t fought for medi-c a r e , p e n s i o n s , u n e m p l o y m e n t insurance, the eight hour day, vacations, workers compensa-tion jobs and much more.

Today the labour movement is fight-ing to defend the rights of Canadians, including fighting for better pensions and creating quality full-time jobs.

The current fed-eral government has an agenda that has targeted the rights of working people, including collective bargaining r ights . O u r c a u c u s h a s fought this unfair attack on working people.

Canada is a much better place today because of the con-t r i b u t i o n s o f t h e l abour movement and working people.

We need to re-dedicate ourselves to continue to build a fairer, more equal s o c i e t y f o r a l l Canadians.

Wi t h a n o t h e r school year now underway,

the Manitoba govern-ment is touting the changes it is introducing to the education system in 2012-13:

• The province is moving forward on its pledge to reduce all kin-dergarten to Grade 3 class sizes. School divi-sions are now eligible for funding based on enroll-ment and are required to report publicly on the number of students in each classroom, includ-ing classrooms with stu-dents in Grade 3 com-b i n e d w i t h h i g h e r grades.

• A new report card, meant to spell out more clearly student achieve-ment, is on its way. Thirty-two school divi-sions will implement the new report cards this school year, and schools will introduce the report cards by the start of the next school year.

• New funding total-ling $1.8 million for early literacy and numer-acy initiatives is designed to help improve reading, writing and math skills of students from kinder-garten to Grade 8.

• A new $1.2-million Learning to Age 18

The Saskatchewan government i s m o v i n g a h e a d

with a plan it says will achieve better health for residents, better care for patients, better teams of health care providers and better value for tax-payers.

The province was the first in Canada to pro-ceed in implementing “Lean” concepts across its entire health care system.

“Saskatchewan is uniquely positioned to introduce major, mean-ingful health care reform, with many supportive par tners involved,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “We are committed to improving health care through Lean, and we are willing to be a leader in this area.”

More than 200 Lean projects are currently u n d e r w a y i n Saskatchewan health regions, the Ministry of H e a l t h a n d t h e Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.

The province said they have already result-e d i n s i g n i f i c a n t improvements in care and millions of dollars in savings. Among the

projects:• Better management

of blood products has saved $10 million to date.

• Improvements to provincial vaccine man-agement and distribution have saved more than $1.2 mill ion (2009-2010).

• The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency has reduced patient waits between CT scan and breas t radiotherapy treatment.

• Turnaround time for health card applications has improved f rom between 30 and 40 days to two days for online applications and five days for hard copy appli-cations.

As part of a plan to use Lean to improve health care, the province has entered into a con-tract with consultant J o h n B l a c k a n d Associates to further embed Lean practices province-wide.

Health care provid-ers, physicians, leaders and staff are now par-ticipating in training sessions and focused quality improvement projects, to ensure that continuous improve-ment is embedded in

Saskatchewan’s health system.

More than 1,000 qual-ity improvement proj-ects will occur across the health system with the goal of improving patient experiences and reducing errors.

The province said other jurisdictions have proven that applying Lean methodology in health settings improves patient experiences and health outcomes at a lower cost.

For example, the Cleveland Clinic, which employs roughly the same number of people as Saskatchewan’s health system, invested $40 million in Lean and achieved $100 million in savings over five years as a result.

Saskatchewan’s Lean improvement efforts focus on strategic pri-orities, including pri-mary health care, safety and shared services.

Lean is also the foun-dation for Releasing Time to CareTM (RTC), a program that has been implemented in provin-cial, regional, and com-munity hospitals across the p rov ince s ince 2008.See ‘Reduce...’ on pg.13

As students return to class, changes toutedCo-ordinator Grant will help school divisions w i th p rog ramming aimed at keeping kids in school.

• New funding total-ling $1.3 million has been dedicated to the Aboriginal Academic Achievement grant,

which will help school divisions deliver pro-grams that target aca-demic succes s fo r aboriginal students.

• New funding of $1.2 million will help support students with limited ability in English, and students from war-torn

countries, through the English as an Additional Language and Intensive Newcomer Support grants.

• Manitoba students will learn more about the legacy of residential school abuse, and the reconciliation and heal-

ing that continues today, through new resources, including a DVD and accompanying guide.

• New funding of $300,000 for the Respect in School program is designed to promote safer, more respectful schools.

Education Minister Nancy Allan reminded Manitobans to pay atten-tion to increased pedes-trian, bicycle, school-bus and other vehicle traffic.

What is Happening?Throughout September, there will be a follow-up study to measure the levels of lead in blood from children under 7 years old. The study will determine whether blood lead levels in the children from Flin Flon and Creighton have changed over the past three years by comparing results with a similar study conducted in 2009. New participants are welcome. You are not required to have participated in 2009.

Why is the study happening? This study is part of the follow-up activities related to the Flin Flon Soils Study.

Who will conduct the study?The Study will be undertaken by a team of scientists from Intrinsik, Goss Gilroy, and Habitat and has been approved by a human research ethics board. The study is overseen by a Technical Advisory Committee and a Community Advisory Committee made up of government, public health, school and community representatives. The study is sponsored by HudBay.

Why participate?You will be helping answer important questions about children’s lead exposure in the community.

You will also receive information about your child’s exposure to lead. In addition, you will receive a copy of your child’s results and the results from the environmental samples.

How can people participate?

In September, we will be actively recruiting by contacting eligible households. If you wish to volunteer for the study before we contact you please call 271-9555.

What does participation involve?Parents are asked to participate in an interview about the child’s environment, activities, and household. The study will also use a finger-prick method to collect a small amount of blood from each child. Environmental samples (soil, water, dust and paint) will also be collected around the home.

How can I find out more about the study?: Please contact the study team at 271-9555 or via email at [email protected]

“The Human Library”Friday, September 28, 7:00-9:00 p.m.

The “Human Library” is a free event, where people become the books and are “borrowed” for conversation.

Everyone has a story to tell. Don’t judge a book by its cover.People get to meet and speak with “Human Books” who have

interesting stories to tell.Come and learn about other people’s situations and discover

your own perceptions!It is interesting to note that most people feel they are

paperbacks, but in fact, are entire volumes of encyclopedias.The library event will include wine and cheese, with patrons

able to wander around, checking out the “Human Books”. Wine will be available to purchase for a small fee.

Gerry Clark will be hosting a slide presentation on the history of Flin Flon, downstairs during the evening.Mark your calendars for this fun evening!

Continued from pg.9“On March 15, some

lobster boats found near Port Maitland an oleo leg, glee wheel and tyre and aircraft type dinghy, which were positively identified as belonging to this particular aircraft. The R.C.A.F. crash boat cruised in the area for three hours after the dis-covery without finding any further evidence.

“On March 16, several other pieces were picked up on a beach south of Port Maitland Harbour, these included a sleeping bag and box marked ‘Tail Drift Sight’. From these parts it was evident that the aircraft had broken up with great violence.

“On the day of the accident the aircraft had been flown by another pilot for 1 hr. 30 min. dur-ing this flight it behaved in a normal manner; there is also evidence to prove that it had been refueled prior to taking off on the fatal trip.

T h e p r e s e n c e o f O r d i n a r y S e a m a n Faulkner, R.H., as pas-senger in this aircraft is not explained, a naval rat-ing was seen by the Leading Aircraftman J.R. Atkinson, who assisted the pilot in starting the engines to be on board the aircraft when it taxied out for takeoff. It is further certified by F/L D.G. Lacey that the four men were members of the crew and that nobody was seen to leave the aircraft prior to take off.”

From the wreckage found, the aircraft and crew were presumed lost at sea. There was no evi-dence to show how the accident occurred and no

Lobster boats found pieces from aircraft

recommendations as a result.

It was noted that the cause of the accident would remain obscure. An explosion appeared to have occurred, but wheth-er it happened in the air or on impact was difficult to determine.

T h e A c c i d e n t Investigation Branch con-cluded that they agreed with the findings, stating:

“From the evidence avail-able, the accident was probably due to the pilot allowing the aircraft to d ive in to the water through an error of judg-ment.”

A sad end to the lives of four men and the epi-sode that gave rise to the naming of Lalor Lake and in turn the Lalor mine.

the work of RTC by aiming to reduce waste in the system so that f ron t l ine s t a ff can spend more time pro-viding safe care to patients.

“Adopting Lean is the next logical step in the quality improve-ment journey we have b e e n t r a v e l l i n g i n Saskatchewan’s health care system over the

past 10 years,” Health Quality Council CEO Bonnie Brossart said. “Other health systems we are learning from have been using Lean for a decade or more. HQC looks forward to learning alongside its partners, and helping suppor t the sys tem over the longer term w i t h t h i s e x c i t i n g change.”

Shadow cabinet shuffle

Research released earlier this year sheds light on

just how important five behaviours are to our health.

Research from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), Public Health Ontario (PHO), the O t t a w a H o s p i t a l R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e ( O H R I ) a n d t h e University of Ottawa (uOttawa) showed 60 per cent of deaths in Ontario are attributed to smoking, alcohol, poor diet, lack of physical activity and stress.

I t s u g g e s t s t h a t unhealthy habits are costing Ontarians 7.5 years of life, but that they could become the healthiest people in

Canada by reducing those five unhealthy behaviours.

“Individually, if we all make one change like smoking less or being more physically active, then collectively we would be significantly healthier and live much longer,” says Doug Manuel, lead author and Senior Scientist at ICES and Senior Scientist at OHRI.

Overall, Ontarians would gain 7.5 years of life expectancy if every-one were in the healthi-est category for all five behavioural risks exam-ined.

Smoking, physical inactivity and poor diet each contribute 2 to 2.5 years of lost life expec-tancy.

If everyone modified only their most impor-tant health risk, overall life expectancy would increase by up to 3.7 years.

“The evidence shows that these five risk fac-tors steal both years from our lives and qual-ity from our lives”, says D r . V i v e k G o e l , President and CEO of PHO. “If we want sus-tained improvements in health, we need to focus our collective efforts on reducing these risk fac-tors, both individually and at a population health level.”

Individuals can cal-culate their own life expectancy with a new L i f e E x p e c t a n c y Calculator (http://www.rrasp-phirn.ca/risktools)

Research singles out health-harming factorsNEWS

based on smoking, alco-hol, food, exercise and stress level.

This tool is a lso accessible from the ICES and PHO web-sites.

The study found:• 60 per cent of all

deaths in Ontario are a t t r ibutable to f ive risks

• Almost all Ontarians have at least one of the

five risks• Increasing physical

activity and improving diet are the most com-m o n c h a n g e s t h a t Ontarians could make to improve their health

• Improving healthy behavior will not only improve length of life, but also the amount of healthy life

“The impact that modifiable behaviours

have on our health is astounding. Not only will we increase our life expectancy but being healthier will mean there will be fewer demands on both formal care giv-ing like hospitals and informal care like fam-ily,” says Manuel.

BORN LOSER

GARFIELD

CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Evan Rachel Wood, 25; Devon Sawa, 34; Oliver Hudson, 36; Michael Emerson, 58.ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take it easy. Avoid impulsive people or instigating changes that have the potential to run amok. You may thrive on excitement, but for now be a spectator, not a participant. Spend time with someone you love. 4 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Update your image and you will receive all sorts of perks. Don't let your past cause problems in the future. If there is something you need to address to move forward, do so quickly. Apply your skills to serve different purposes. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Not everyone will be truthful about what's being offered. If you are changing your job or taking on additional responsibilities, get what you want and what's expect-ed of you in writing. Love is highlighted, so plan to celebrate in the evening hours. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let your creative imagination run wild and your ideas and plans for the future unfold. A challenge will help boost your ego and give you the confidence to make per-sonal changes that can alter your way of life. Believe in your abili-ties. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take better care of your health. Others may want your attention and help, but once in a while you have to ask for favors in return. Showing your vulnerability will bring someone you want to spend more time with to your rescue. 4 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be careful how you deal with col-leagues and bosses. Focus on your accomplishments and get-ting things done on time. Someone will try to make you look bad. Do your best to intervene politely if someone is exaggerating or spreading rumors. 2 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a break, get away for the weekend and do your own thing. Expanding your interests or traveling to des-tinations that will teach you about different cultures or a pastime you want to pursue will also be conducive to enhancing your love life. 5 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Fix up your digs. Make your sur-roundings inspirational and moti-vating. Let your creativity lead to new and interesting projects that will enable you to improve your future. Discussing your plans will help you expedite your goals. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Expect to have too many options and not enough time. Someone will try to take over. Don't let a bully steal your ideas or take credit for your work. Be diplomatic but firm about what you deserve. Love is in the stars. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put more time and effort into your health, wealth and future pros-pects. Contracts will be benefi-cial. Your negotiating skills will not let you down. A celebration with friends or family will allow you to share your enthusiasm and future goals. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't get your dander up. You have to stay calm if you want to get things done. Concentrate on your home, family and making your surroundings comfortable. Minor mishaps will occur if you are impulsive or moody. 5 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stick to your game plan. Take care of your health needs. Focus on fitness and good dietary hab-its. Nurture important partner-ships. Don't overreact, overdo or overindulge. It's important not to jump to conclusions or to make a hasty decision. 2 stars

Overlooked Consequences?

Stranger than fictionBy Jonathon Naylor

By now, the arguments in the great cost-shar ing deba te

between city council and cottage owners are well established.

Many cottagers believe that since they are not Flin Flonners in the geographical sense, they should no more pay an annual fee to City Hall than fly to the moon.

Council believes that cottagers are basically Flin Flonners who benefit from municipal services and thus should contribute directly into city coffers.

Council says it will attempt annexation unless cottagers formulate a suit-able (and voluntary) fund-ing plan; many cottagers vow to fight any such effort with all their might.

At this point, annexation remains strictly hypotheti-cal. Council would not even have the final say on the matter; the provincial gov-ernment would.

Nonetheless, it is very much worth exploring the concept of annexation, including some of the poten-tial consequences that have been largely overlooked in this debate.

For one, what would broadening the Flin Flon map to include cottage country do to the value of all

those lakeside homes?Is a home that might cur-

rently sell for $200,000 or $300,000 still worth that much when it is suddenly comes with an annual prop-erty tax bill in the several thousands of dollars?

A number of year-round cottage owners tell me they currently pay about $1,000 a year to the provincial gov-ernment for the privilege of living at the lake.

Annexation could jack that bill up multiple times depending on the value of the cottage in question – making depreciation a very real possibility.

Flip sideOn the flip side, one

could argue that unless City Hall is able to improve its financial picture, Flin Flonners may face some serious depreciation of their own.

If, hypothetically, city council saw it necessary to close public buildings like the Aqua Centre or Whitney Forum, suddenly Flin Flon becomes a less desirable place to live.

That means more popu-lation decline, not to men-tion additional challenges in recruiting and retaining doc-tors, nurses and other pro-fessionals on whom any community depends.

In such a scenario, Flin

Flonners and cottagers alike suffer, as do the thousands from Creighton, Denare Beach and the northeastern Saskatchewan First Nations who utilize Flin Flon as a service centre.

Another factor often overlooked is that contrary to popular wisdom, not all cottagers view themselves as Flin Flonners.

Cottage country is a pretty diverse place. It has Americans who come up for four months a year and retirees from communities far beyond Flin Flon. It even has people who arguably utilize Cranberry Portage as more of a service centre than Flin Flon.

For proponents of new cottage fees or annexation to uniformly say “We’re all Flin Flonners” ignores real-ity. Some cottagers are just cottagers, and they honestly don’t feel the connection to Flin Flon that in-town resi-dents or some other cottag-ers do.

Should someone like that have to pay a “Flin Flon fee”? Should someone like that be annexed?

As this debate stretches on, as it undoubtedly will, it will be important for both sides to consider all of the implications.

Local Angle runs Fridays.

CALGARY – Truth is stranger than fic-tion, both in the

global economy and in our everyday lives. One true story from a recent experi-ence was so bizarre you’ll think I’m making this up.

On holidays this week, three friends and I found ourselves at a great little restaurant. It was a tapas-style restaurant with small dishes meant for sharing. Everything was delicious and the four of us were hav-ing a wonderful night.

And then the pretzel bun arrived.

It was a baked sandwich with fancy bacon and a hard-to-pronounce cheese on a pretzel bun a bit small-er than a normal hamburger. Wanting to cut it into four pieces to share, we request-ed cutlery.

“I’m sorry,” said the server, “We don’t have any cutlery.”

“What? Why not?” we asked.

The server was pleasant but responded, “All of the food here is meant for shar-ing, so there is no cutlery.”

Why would cutlery pre-vent sharing? we wondered. Determined, we asked for a knife from the kitchen. The server wouldn’t do it.

It escalated to the point where the head chef came to our table. He was also very pleasant, but unhelp-

ful. “I have a vision for how I want my food to be pre-sented, and we don’t want cutlery here.”

“Then, could you take the sandwich to the kitchen and simply cut it into four?”

“No,” said the chef. “Can you imagine how busy we’d be if everyone wanted their food cut?” We were bewildered.

“Then could you please bring us a plain old knife, and we’ll cut it our-selves?”

“No.”Mangled mess

And that was how it ended. We managed to mash the sandwich apart with an olive pick and ate the mangled mess. It was delicious.

What does this story have to do with the global economy? What struck me most was the strangeness of the whole event.

The global economy is just as bizarre. We watch with amazement at the prospect of Greece bring-ing down the global econ-omy. We read with disbelief that leaders of the G20 can-not coordinate their actions. We follow a U.S. election where politicians of the world’s largest economy debate 19th century social issues.

Maybe, like diners with no cutlery, central bankers

around the world feel bewildered. From the U.S. Federal Reserve to the European Central Bank, the traditional tools of mone-tary policy are not work-ing.

Either the tools are unavailable, like our cut-lery, (i.e., they can’t lower interest rates any further) or useless, like our chef, (i.e., printing money through asset purchases isn’t having much effect).

To prevent another major economic downturn, two key things will have to happen.

First, some sort of knife will have to arrive at the table: lowering interest rates aren’t an option, so improvisation with other fiscal or monetary policy tools (like our olive pick) may be needed.

Second, even if it’s not within their “vision,” the chefs of the global economy will have to cooperate. Greece will have to follow its commitments and U.S. politicians will have to set aside partisan hard lines.

Our strange dinner at the restaurant ended okay. Unfortunately, much more hangs in the balance for the global economy than it did with our mutilated pretzel bun.

The City of

Regular meeting of the Council of The City of Flin Flon will be held at 7:45 p.m., September 18, 2012.

The following is a letter which has been mailed to those residents currently using the Channing Water Delivery and Sewage Pumpout Program, with regard to a Public Meeting to be held September 25, 2012, at 7:30 p.m.

Channing Water and Sewer RatesThe City of Flin Flon would like to invite you to a public meeting, to be held Sep-tember 25 at 7:30 P.M., at City Hall’s Council Chambers, to discuss the future of the Channing Water Delivery and Sewage Pumpout Program. In particular, Council is looking for input from residents on ways to make the program sustainable over the longer term.

In 2003, The City of Flin Flon introduced City pumpout service to the Channing Area, in addition to the water delivery that had already been taking place. To give some idea of the numbers involved in this period, in 2003, the water delivery con-tract cost $94,999.92, whereas in 2004 (the first full year of pumpout service), the pumpout contract cost was $43,884.77.

Over time, costs have naturally increased. In 2011, the cost of the water de-livery contract was $126,000.00, while the cost of the pumpout contract was $55,240.00, for a total of $181,240.00.

Revenues from the recipients of these services did not offset these amounts in 2011. Total utility charge revenue from the households receiving these services in 2011 amounted to only $70,326.96. Council is troubled by these numbers, and what they may indicate for the long term sustainability of this program.

To make matters worse, in 2012, the pumpout contract came up for renewal. The former service provider declined to tender, and the only tender received repre-sented a significant increase over previous costs. In response, Council declined to make a long term commitment, and instead came up with a one year agreement, which saw the per 1000 gallon rate increase by 24%.

Council has not yet made a decision as to how to deal with this increase in costs. If this increase were to be passed on entirely to Channing consumers, based on a per household division of overall costs, it would mean a $21.68 increase to the monthly rate, and an 18% increase to the overall Channing household utility bill.

Direct increases in utility billings are only one of a number of possible approaches, especially if one looks longer term. It would be difficult to entertain radical change in 2012, but looking ahead to 2013 and future years, other types of measures could be contemplated, which, when integrated into a new service contract struc-ture, could result in containment of costs. Some possible approaches might in-volve capping the amount of water delivered, or sewage pumped out, and charg-ing for the difference. Rules requiring minimum tank sizes, or prohibiting leakage, might require some residents to undergo an upfront cost to pay for newer, larger tanks, but could in time result in reducing the frequency of pumpouts, thereby po-tentially reducing contractor costs. For the time being, however, contractor costs are based on volumes delivered and pumped out, so tank size regulation would not have an immediate effect.

There may be other approaches worth exploring. Everyone’s logic, experience, imagination and creativity is welcome in solving this situation.

Council is committed to being fair to Channing residents, but must also be re-sponsible in committing to ongoing expenses on behalf of the community at large. Your views are being sought to help come up with a plan that addresses both existing and future challenges. Please try to attend the meeting, or if unable to do so, you are encouraged to please communicate in whatever alternate manner that may be most convenient.

Yours truly,George FONTAINE, Mayor
