Chapter 1 4 Were some of the CORS employees at the young females next work site instructed to harass her there, asks the father? Chapter 2 6 Why did some of the CORS employees at the young females next work site harass her, isolate her and treat her unequally, asks the father? Chapter 3 In retaliation, CORS kept their pay checks hostage! 12

Chapter 4 15 Report prepared on behalf of the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center and submitted to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission for sex-discrimination / unequal treatment file # 11 EN 027 Chapter 5 24

Another fly-by night security department, surprisingly this time run by the Manitoba Government, the Health Ministry at Selkirk Mental Health Center?
Chapter 6 27 Apparently, security manager Bob Lechow did not respond to emails because Bob Lechow was apparently relying on only 3 Cool Kids Gang Stoolies to get rid of the first female Security Officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center? Chapter 7 34 What it came down to was how dare the first female security officer hired at SMHC complain to the Deputy Minister Milton Sussman about sexual harassment! Chapter 8 44 Selkirk Mental Health Center touts that it follows Non-Violent Crisis Intervention techniques what a crock? Chapter 9 50 Security manager Bob Lechow did not mention any of the first female security officers complaints about sex discrimination? Chapter 10 The apparent cool kids gang at Selkirk Mental Health Center? 60

Chapter 11 62 Well, by geeze, who were security manager Bob Lechows main stoolies about the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center? Chapter 12 72 Well, by geeze, again who were security manager Bob Lechows main stoolies about the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center? 2

Chapter 13 81 Example #1 - Well, by geeze, lets again see who were security manager Bob Lechows main stoolies about the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center?

Chapter 14 84 Example #2 - Well, by geeze, lets again see who were security manager Bob Lechows main stoolies about the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center?
Chapter 15 88 Example #3 - Well, by geeze, lets again see who were security manager Bob Lechows main stoolies about the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center? Chapter 16 91 Example #20 - The first bit of b.s. that SMHC HR Manager Debbie Kelly mentions is that she interviewed 21 employees although she only used the statements of the same three nutters as those used by security manager Bob Lechow, specifically Cory Degraves, Bill Sinclair, and Louis Poitras? Chapter 17 94 Was CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate in cahoots with Selkirk Mental Health Center HR Manager Debbie Kelly who failed to mention any examples of the sex-discrimination / unequal treatment of the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center based on the statements of three nutters, specifically Cory Degraves, Bill Sinclair, and Louis Poitras? Chapter 18 97 Did Pam Roberts fib in her investigation with Manitoba Human Rights Commission? Chapter 19 98 Selkirk Mental Health Center did it to the first female security officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center, and they also did it to the second female security officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center that complained to CEO Danah Bellehumeur? Chapter 20 99 CEO Danah Bellehumeur so anxious to get rid of first female security officer for complaining about sex discrimination she makes up things!!! Chapter 21 102 Come on Manitoba Justice Minister Andrew Swan, what kind of frigging moron is your agent Jerry Woods?

Chapter 1 Were some of the CORS employees at the young females next work site instructed to harass her there, asks the father? Lets start off by citing the fact that Richard Cockrem of CORS [Concentric Risk & Security Management] readily admitted to the Board of Referees he had a source at Selkirk Mental Health Center where the young female worker was employed next [see Part III, Appendix 1]. Authors Note: The young female worker remembers that a CORS employee working at Selkirk Mental Health Center by the name of Cory DeGraves came into her training session on August 23rd and August 24th although there was no reason for him to do that? Authors Note: Was Cory DeGraves the source that Richard Cockrem of CORS would not reveal to the Board of Referees [see Part III, Appendix 1]?

Part III, Appendix 1 Authors Note: Richard Cockrem of CORS [Concentric Risk & Security Management] readily admitted to the Board of Referees he had a source at Selkirk Mental Health Center where the young female worker was employed next! Authors Note: Was Cory DeGraves the source that Richard Cockrem of CORS would not reveal to the Board of Referees?

Chapter 2 Why did some of the CORS employees at the young females next work site harass her, isolate her and treat her unequally, asks the father? Well, the answer seems to be that apparently the CORS employee was instructed to harass this young female worker in retaliation for the letter the father wrote to the Justice Minister about the owners of CORS [see Part III, Appendix 2 cited below]. Authors Note: Well, the answer seems to be that apparently the CORS employee was instructed to harass this young female worker in retaliation for the letter the father wrote to the apparent owners of CORS [see Part III, Appendix 3 cited below]. Authors Note: Just to give the reader an inkling of the harassment experienced by the young female at her new employment site [Selkirk Mental Health Center], the following is cited: -12 December 2010, S.F. [apparently also a CORS employee] knowing full well that SMHC has a same sex search policy still protested to Bob that she was not searching male patients / visitors, and even held everyone up because he had to email Bob Lechow right away to make a [bogus] complaint, while the PNAs were demanding he hurry up with his email to Bob Lechow [incident cited in her evidence book, and mentioned in her email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -Around the same time, B.S. said to her that if she couldnt do male searches than why bother (doing the job) [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -On 24 December 2010 when the CORS employee told her to stay out of the control room, go on patrol so to keep busy she spent a good number of hours doing patrols; she was on patrol from 11:50 to 16:45 in the frigid cold [incident cited in her evidence book, and mentioned in her email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. [Note: a control room roster was implemented by the CEO to prevent anyone, including the CORS employee from hogging the control room]. -On 29 December 2010 the CORS employee again told her to stay out of the control room so to keep busy she again spent a good number of hours doing foot patrols, from 09:00 to 14:25 in the frigid cold [incident cited in her evidence book, and mentioned in her email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -29 December 2010 Security Manager Bob Lechow mentioned that he had [bogus] complaints from the CORS employee that she was not searching male patients / visitors, some of the complaints apparently dating back to October 2010 and these could lead to her dismissal [where Bob Lechow did not reply to any of her emails

dated 30 December 2010, 31 December 2010, 02 January 2011, 03 January 2011all sent to Security Manager Bob Lechow about these bogus complaints]. - 08 January 2011, J.M. when he found out she was coming in for a sick shift said: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors) [incident cited in another S.O.s evidence book, and mentioned in her email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. [Note: a call-in roster was implemented by the CEO to ensure everyone got an equal crack at available shifts, although people like J.M. still seem to be circumventing it] -08 January 2011 when she arrived on duty she was told by J.M. to stay out of the control room because he was busy playing with his ipod and lap top [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. In response, the young female worker made a complaint to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission about this sex-discriminatory / unequal treatment behavior. Authors Note: Whereas these birds, as the father calls them, treated this young female like this, the most senior security officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center [SMHC] had this to say about her:

Authors Note: In other words, this female Security Officer has INTEGRITY even if it cost her personally in highlighting these rats at SMHC, as the father calls them!

Part III, Appendix 2 Authors Note: The father asked, was Cory DeGraves instructed to harass this young female worker in retaliation for the letter the father wrote to the Justice Minister about the owners of CORS 3 September, 2010 Minister Andrew Swan Minister of Justice and Attorney General 104 Legislative Building, 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 T: 204-945-3728 F: 204-945-2517 E-mail: minjus@leg.gov.mb.ca Dear Sir, I cannot stand fabrication, especially from an employer, and neither do my children. As a previous Legislative Assistant to the Minister of Labour, you may appreciate what kind of poor behavior was exemplified by these two birds from Concentric Risk & Security Management Inc. [CORS]. I have given these two birds [Robert Kroeger and Brian A Evans] owners of CORS sufficient time to explain their deplorable unprofessional behaviour toward a couple of young workers [my daughter and son], where they verbally harangued my two young children and refused to give them their final pay cheques until my son threatened to call the police on them!. You would think that two adults would act professionally, not these two wack jobs. Their behavior should be documented in your file on them and their company. My children are onto much better positions elsewhere. For you information

Part III, Appendix 3 Authors Note: The father asked, was Cory Degraves instructed to harass this young female worker in retaliation for the letter the father wrote to the apparent owners of CORS? Authors Note: The father never did receive a response?

Chapter 3 In retaliation, CORS kept their pay checks hostage! Well, the answer seems to be that apparently the CORS employee was instructed to harass this young female worker in retaliation for the letter the father wrote to the Justice Minister about the owners of CORS [see Part III, Appendix 2 cited above]. Authors Note: Well, the answer seems to be that apparently the CORS employee was instructed to harass this young female worker in retaliation for the letter the father wrote to the apparent owners of CORS [see Part III, Appendix 3 cited above]. Authors Note: After all, Richard Cockrem of CORS admitted they held the littleguy daughters pay check / paycheque hostage [see Part III, Appendix 4]! What a bunch of arse holes! Authors Note: After all, Richard Cockrem of CORS also admitted they held the little-guy sons pay check / paycheque hostage [see Part III, Appendix 5]! What a bunch of arse holes! Authors Note: The father asked, was the CORS employee instructed to harass this young female worker in retaliation for the letter the father wrote to the apparent owners of CORS, cited above?

12

Part III, Appendix 4 Authors Note: CORS tried to keep pay cheques [pay checks] until she threatened to call cops! What a bunch of arse holes!

13

Part III, Appendix 5 Authors Note: In fact, CORS even fabricated more statements against the brother, although Richard Cockrem did admit they held the brothers pay cheque [pay check] hostage! Authors Note: As the father said, what a crock of horse shite! What a bunch of arse holes!

Chapter 4 Report prepared on behalf of the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center and submitted to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission for sex-discrimination / unequal treatment file # 11 EN 027 As cited by the author of the report, what it currently appears to be, as far as the author can see, how dare the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center [SMHC] complain to the Deputy Minister Milton Sussman about sex discrimination and / or unequal treatment! The game then apparently became, lets conspire to get the first female securit y officer hired at SMHC! The only trouble is that, although 21 employees were interviewed by the HR department at SMHC, HR and the Ministry used information from only 3 of the cool kids gang members? And, its very apparent that none of these 3 cool kids gang members had dates, times, or specific details in other words apparent rehearsed fabricated crap. The question is, was Selkirk Mental Health Center management and the Ministry of Health duped by these 3 cool kids gang members to get rid of the first female security officer hired at SMHC? The author is waiting for the decision by the Manitoba Human Rights Commission file # 11 EN 027, which will form one of the last chapters in his book Vindictive Employers [see Appendix 85 & 86, cited below]. In addition, although the Manitoba Government, the Ministry of Health, Selkirk Mental Health Center and the Employees union indicates that no discrimination, no harassment, no isolation, no sex- discrimination and / or no unequal treatment of females occur, that was not the case for the first female security officer hired at the Sel;kirk Mental Health Centre as the following chapters will detail [see Appendix 87 to Appendix 91, cited below].

Chapter 5 Another fly-by night security department, surprisingly this time run by the Manitoba Government, the Health Ministry at Selkirk Mental Health Center? As will become apparent, whether a fly-by night security private company or a fly-by night government run security department, they can all turn out to be vindictive with lies, fabricated statements, and attempts to cover-up their dastardly behavior. As cited: Until now, SMHCs Governance Model included a Management Team who reported to a Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO oversaw SMHCs programs and operations and directly reported to the Associate Deputy Minister of Primary Care and Healthy Living. SMHC is moving to a new model of governance that will provide opportunities for stakeholders to have input into how the Centre is managed. The Management Team will still report to the CEO, but the CEO will now report to a nine member Governing Council that is made up of department, regional health authority, consumer and family representatives. The Council is chaired by the Associate Deputy Minister for Primary Care and Health Living and will report directly to the Deputy Minister for Health and Healthy Living. The Associate Deputy Minister will also chair a new 12 member stakeholder advisory committee, where representatives from the department, regional health authorities, mental health and brain injury organizations, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authoritys aboriginal health services and the Government of Nunavut will provide information, advice and recommendations related to program and service delivery. The changes in the name from Goal, to Manitoba Asylum, to Selkirk Insane Hospital, to Selkirk Hospital for Mental Diseases, to Selkirk Mental Health Center, reflect the changes in attitude, philosophy and function that mark the course of progress in the care and treatment of the mentally ill. From Manitoba Insane Asylum to Selkirk Mental Health Center Its not the kind of place to be given the cold shoulder by those male security officers [apparently called the cool kids gang] that did not want a female security officer on staff! Its not the kind of place to be harassed by those male security officers [apparently called the cool kids gang] that did not want a female security officer on staff!

24

Its not the kind of place to suffer sex-discrimination by those male security officers [apparently called the cool kids gang] that did not want a female security officer on staff! Authors Note: Too bad it doesnt reflect the way they treated the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center. Authors Note: Who should have to put up with this crap, as the father called it: -12 December 2010, Scott Foster [apparently also a CORS employee] knowing full well that SMHC has a same sex search policy still protested to Bob that she was not searching male patients / visitors, and even held everyone up because he had to email Bob Lechow right away to make a [bogus] complaint, while the PNAs were demanding he hurry up with his email to Bob Lechow [incident cited in her evidence book, and mentioned in her email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -Around the same time, Bill Sinclair said to her that if she couldnt do male searches than why bother (doing the job) [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -On 24 December 2010 when Cory Degraves told her to stay out of the control room, go on patrol so to keep busy she spent a good number of hours doing patrols; she was on patrol from 11:50 to 16:45 in the frigid cold [incident cited in her evidence book, and mentioned in her email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. [Note: a control room roster was implemented by the CEO to prevent anyone, including Cory Degraves from hogging the control room]. -On 29 December 2010 Cory Degraves again told her to stay out of the control room so to keep busy she again spent a good number of hours doing foot patrols, from 09:00 to 14:25 in the frigid cold [incident cited in her evidence book, and mentioned in her email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -29 December 2010 Security Manager Bob Lechow mentioned that he had [bogus] complaints from Cory Degraves that she was not searching male patients / visitors, some of the complaints apparently dating back to October 2010 and these could lead to her dismissal [see her emails in Part III of this book dated 30 December 2010, 31 December 2010, 02 January 2011, 03 January 2011all sent to Security Manager Bob Lechow about these bogus complaints]. - 08 January 2011, Jeremey Matovich [Matvichuk] when he found out she was coming in for a sick shift said: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors) [incident cited in another S.O.s evidence book, and mentioned in her email to CEO dated 09 January 2011].

[Note: a call-in roster was implemented by the CEO to ensure everyone got an equal crack at available shifts, although people like Jeremey Matovich [Matvichuk] still seem to be circumventing it] -08 January 2011 when she arrived on duty she was told by Jeremey Matovich [Matvichuk] to stay out of the control room because he was busy playing with his ipod and lap top [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. Authors note: The above information, as well as all future information in this book, is based off the information submitted to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission with respect to the first female security officers complaint of sex-discriination and / or unequal treatement in file # 11 EN 027. Authors Note: Unlike these rats, as the father calls them, the most senior security officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center [SMHC] had this to say about her:

Authors Note: In other words, this female Security Officer has INTEGRITY even if it cost her personally in highlighting these rats at SMHC, as the father calls them!

Chapter 6 Apparently, security manager Bob Lechow did not respond to emails because Bob Lechow was apparently relying on only 3 Cool Kids Gang Stoolies to get rid of the first female Security Officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center? Well, as we shall see, apparently security manager Bob Lechow was relying on only 3 Cool Kids Gang Stoolies to get rid of the first female security Officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center? What were the nature of the first female security officers complaints to the Deputy Minister of Health Milton Sussman on 05 January 2011 and 11 February 2011? The heading of the first female security officers complaint dated 5 January, is formal complaint that I am being pressured to violate SMHC same sex search policy and nothing has been done or is being done to correct the problem [see Appendix 135a & 135b Part V, cited below]. In it, she refers to: In an e-mail dated 18 October 2010 by Robert (Bob) Lechow, Manager, Security Services, Selkirk Mental Health Center clearly indicates it is SMHC policy that only same sex searches be done [18 Oct. - current policy dictates that the search to be performed by a same sex staff member male for male female for female it can be witnessed by a staff member of either sex]. The only time opposite sex searches are allowed according to Bob Lechows further e-mail dated 03 November 2010 is during an emergency [03 Nov. in an emergency I would say it would be ok for a female to search a male policy states same sex if anyone does otherwise and a complaint is received you could be viewed as a breach in policy]. On 29 December 2010 Bob Lechow told me that he had received complaints that I was not doing male searches of patients / visitors and that these complaints were being included in my file. For me to do male searches as a female security officer would violate SMHC policy that only same sex searches be done as per Bob Lechows e-mail dated 18 October 2010. Although Bob Lechow apparently advised all security staff at SMHC in October 2010 of SMHC policy that only same sex searches be done as per his e-mail dated 18 October 2010, Bob Lechow has continued to accept complaints from other security that I am not doing male searches of patients / visitors.
27

As a result, I am being ostracized and prevented from doing my security officer duties as the first female S.O. at SMHC jeopardizing my being in line for the next F/T position. Obviously, my trying to carry out SMHCs same sex search policy has led to erroneous complaints as revealed to me by Bob Lechow on 29 December, 2010. On 29 December 2010 Bob Lechow revealed to me that C. has apparently complained that I was not searching male patients / visitors? As security manager Bob Lechow should have returned the complaint(s) that I was not searching male patients / visitors as null and void as this would violate the Centres same sex search policy? Bob Lechow should have also corrected C.s behaviour for making these complaint(s), as the complaints violated the Centres same sex search policy! Centers policy about same sex searches so why has he complained about me and why has Bob Lechow accepted C.s complaint(s)? And, as C. is apparently being groomed to become a supervisor what kind of example is he giving, basically brow-beating me into violating Centre policy by basically demanding that I search male patients / visitors in violation of the Centres same sex search policy? I might also add that apparently C. is ticked off with me for not violating Centre policy and performing searches on male patients / visitors in violation of the Centres same sex search policy as all other security say hi and talk with me, but this C. appears to ignore me? Giving me the cold shoulder because I am not willingly to breach the Centres same sex search policy doesnt seem very respectful to me? On 23 December 2010 at approximately 15:30 C. told me not to go into the lunch room for security presence / cutlery count because 2 male staff were needed, although there were already 2 male staff [PNAs or Nurses] so I think B. took my rightful place and went into the lunch room? On 24 December 2010 C. told me to stay out of the Control room, go on patrol so to keep busy I spent a good number of hours doing patrols in freezing weather [From my evidence book on 24 Dec I started my patrol at 11:50 to 16:45]. On 29 December 2010 C. again told me to stay out of the Control room so to keep busy I again spent a good number of hours doing foot patrols in freezing weather [From my evidence book on 29 Dec I asked C. and B. multiple times if they wanted

28

to go out (on patrol) they answered no hence I was out on patrol from 09:00 to 14:25]. Im aware that several PNAs and Nurses have complained about the sexist comments that some of the security make while in the control room, over heard by staff and possibly patients. One PNA even asked me how I could put up with the sexist comments being made [From my evidence book asked of sexist complaint by PNA (T.?) on November 2010 at 22:00]? Bob Lechow is aware of this complaint by PNAs and Nurses as he spoke to me about this staff complaint as well. C. has also apparently indicated that I do not get on with the other security / not a team player? However, I work well with the other security and staff [PNAs and Nurses] on all the units, and I willingly perform any duty that the other security direct me to do. In fact, on several occasions staff [PNAs and Nurses] in other units have expressed surprise that I have come into their units while I am on my patrol(s) to see how things are going and to make a security presence known many saying they rarely see security staff come into their unit during the evenings. I think what C. is referring to is that I will not violate Centre policy about same sex searches, especially as C. and S.F. and B. have apparently complained that I am not doing male searches [except emergencies as directed in Bob Lechows email dated 03 Nov. 2010]. What C. should have done was to put a stop to S.F.s and B.s complaint that I was not searching males, as this violated the Centres same sex search policy However, instead of doing this C. processed these erroneous complaints to Bob Lechow and, according to Bob Lechow on 29 December, 2010 these erroneous complaints are part of my file? I make reference to: Because Bob Lechow has apparently not corrected these security officers in their error about same sex search policy, at approximately 08:17 on 12 December, 2010 security officer S.F. was protesting that I was not searching male patients [My evidence book 12 Dec room searches / S.F. protested / showed S.F. Bobs email - 18 October email].

29

PNA [T.] complained to me [and staff in area] that S.F. had to write an email to Bob Lechow before finishing room searches [with T. in raised voice telling S.F. to hurry up and finish his email complaining that I was not doing male searches]. S.F. should have been told way back in October [as per Bob Lechows email dated 18 October, 2010] about the Centres same sex search policy! If S.F. did not listen to Bob Lechow way back in October, then it is his fault and his behaviour should have been corrected. Instead, Bob Lechow revealed on 29 December, 2010 that S.F.s complaint that I was not searching male patients / visitors was going into my file? Authors note: Kindly note this Cory Degraves apparent reference to the first female security officer hired at SMHC not being a team player? Thats a typical textbook tactic of those committing sexual discrimination! As cited, sometimes the person complaining about racial discrimination is characterized as not fitting in or being a team player. News from the B.C. Human Rights Coalition, Volume 9.2, April 2009 March 21 International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination As was further stated in Pinazo v. Neverblue Media, 2007 BCHRT 4, (paras 20-21): ...[I]n Naraine v. Ford Motor Company, [1996] O.H.R.B.I.D. No. 23 (QL). ... The respondent argued that Mr. Naraine was terminated for reasons unrelated to race and colour. [T]he respondent alleged that Mr. Naraine had difficulties in getting along with his co-workers, and had a bad temper. In this regard, the Tribunal noted that discrimination can frequently be masked as a personality problem, and went on to state (at para. 98) : Once targeted as a recipient of racial discrimination, workers can become "ostracized," "outcasts," and "almost a pariah" in the workplace. Throughout the hearing, there were numerous indications that Mr. Naraine fit this description perfectly. One witness testified that "the slightest little thing involving Mike went around the plant pretty quickly."

30

Others described Mr. Naraine as "a loner," "standoffish" "isolated," that he "didn't have any friends in the plant," that he "kept to himself completely," that "other workers couldn't relate to him," that "he never seemed to smile," that he was a "chronic complainer." Thus, the allegation that an employee was not a team player or was not a good fit does not exclude the possibility of discrimination in any given case. Authors Note: This is the same crap that apparently this Cory Degraves and / or the security manager Bob Lechow were trying to pull with the first female security officer hired at SMHC that she was not a team player because she would not violate SMHCs same-sex search policies to fit in with the cool kids gang? Authors Note: Once the first female security officer hired at SMHC was targeted as a recipient of racial discrimination, she was "ostracized" by a few shites that didnt want a female security officer on site because they could not search male patients / visitors. Authors Note: In fact, the second female security officer [Sherri?] hired at SMHC also was not successful on a permanent full-time competition although the Selkirk Mental Health Center apparently hired a number of CORS male employees?

18 October 2010 RE: From: Sent: a search question? Lechow, Bob (HEALTH) (bob.lechow@gov.mb.ca) October 18, 2010 6:15:53 AM

Current policy dictates that the search is to be performed by a same sex staff member male for male female for female it can be witnessed by a staff member of either sex BL

Chapter 7 What it came down to was how dare the first female security officer hired at SMHC complain to the Deputy Minister Milton Sussman about sexual harassment! As surmised, what it came down to was how dare the first female security officer hired at SMHC complain to the Deputy Minister Milton Sussman about sexual harassment! Authors Note: The game then became, lets conspire to get the first female security officer hired at SMHC! Authors Note: Well, who can we get to do that? Authors Note: Why not the [apparent] leader of the cool kids gang, Cory Degraves [see Appendix 139a and 139b Part V, cited below]? Authors Note: After all, hes apparently still associated with CORS, but also working at Selkirk Mental Health Center? As cited in an email dated 09 March, 2011 to security manager Bob Lechow [see 139b Part V, cited below], the first female security officer hired at SMHC records, in part: Apparently this Cory DeGraves said that I stood back while he and Bill S. handled the incident????? A radio from Cory DeGraves, while I as on patrol, alerted me to an incident that began around 11:30am today when the Winter Games were coming to an end. The incident involved a female patient from A8, upon seeing other patients/individuals smoking but her escort didnt have her cigarettes, the patients behaviour escalated from a temper tantrum into a full blown incident where the woman repeatedly threw herself to the ground and refused to be moved. When I arrived on scene first the patient was on her feet, and the escort staff and I were using NVCI techniques to calm the patient from reacting more violently. We were having success with our NVCI techniques, the patient was calming down. However, when Cory DeGraves arrived on scene about fifteen minutes later in the security van, he immediately placed himself between me and the patient basically bullying me out of position and immediately grasped the patients arm attempting to get physical control over the patient.

In response to Cory DeGraves man-handling her, the patient dropped to the ground [passive resistance]. Authors Note: As we will see later, the security manager mentioned his apparent cool kids gang favorite Cory Degraves complaint, but nothing about the first female security officers email dated 09 March, 2011 favoritism by the security manager Bob Lechow [see 139b Part V, cited below]? Authors Note: In other words, Cory Degraves and Selkirk Security Management ignored the basic tenant when dealing with psychiatric patients, in dealing with psychiatric patients, empathy is the most useful psychotherapy tool for understanding patients. Managing Psychiatric Emergencies M. I. Ramadan The Internet Journal of Emergency Medicine, 4(1), 2007. As further cited, initial management should focus on attempts to calm the patient through empathic, yet firm verbal means and establishing a collaborative relationship between patient and the treatment team. Authors Note: Isnt this what the first female Security Officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center doing and accomplishing before Cory Degraves apparently stormed in and started man-handling the patient? Furthermore, as cited in the same article, because aggressive behavior occurs in many psychiatric disorders, it is important to have an understanding of the aggression complexity of symptoms. After all, as noted, quantitative and qualitative evidence collected over the last three decades has demonstrated how the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention has been effectively implemented to provide for more positive outcomes. Participants report that the program realistically approaches issues with long-term preventive solutions rather than relying on staff to act appropriately when faced with aggression. CPIs Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training Program: General Information and Empirical Support In addition, study after study has emphasized the importance of Nonviolent Crisis Intervention techniques. In Jambunathan & Bellaires study ( 996), it was found that staff use of CPI training program techniques was effective in resolving crises in 84.2 percent of the episodes observed and over a wide variety of diagnostic and functional levels.

J. Jambunathan & Bellaire, K. Evaluating staff use of crisis prevention intervention techniques: A pilot study, Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 1996, 17, 541558. Authors Note: Has Cory Degraves or the Security Manager been trained in such [NVCI techniques] and, if yes, why the apparent reluctance in using them? Authors Note: The first female Security Officer hired at SMHC also asked this question. Authors Note: However, the security manager at SMHC never did reply to the first female Security Officer hired at SMHC [see 139b Part V, cited below]. Authors Note: Apparently Cory Degraves [and Bill Sinclair] pulled the same trick on another [senior] Security Officer Scott Smith [with years experience in security] where Cory Degraves bullied him out of the way when he was dealing with a patient and then Cory Degraves complained about Scott Smith not doing his job properly apparently because Scott Smith would not join Degraves cool kid gang? Authors Note: Scott Smith was apparently dealing with restraining a patient and Cory Degraves came in shoved Scott Smith out of the way and he and Bill Sinclair grabbed the patient leaving Scott Smith on the side-lines? Authors Note: After it was all over, Cory Degraves apparently said in a snide manner to Scott Smith thats how its done? The reason again? Authors Note: Apparently because Scott Smith did not want to join Cory Degraves cool kids gang at SMHC? Authors Note: Apparently, Scott Smith had had enough of Cory Degraves antics and he is no longer at SMHC? Authors Note: He apparently had enough of Cory Degraves harassment and is apparently with another Manitoba government department? Authors Note: Way to go management at Selkirk Mental Health Center, lose a security officer with 20 years experience for the likes of the cool kids gang? Authors Note: Is this further proof that neither Cory Degraves nor the security manager at SMHC truly believe in the positive effects of Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI) techniques?

After all, in McIntosh (2003) unpublished doctoral dissertation, it was concluded that Nonviolent Crisis Intervention training [was] credited for increasing staff confidence, which in turn positively affects intervention self-efficacy. D. McIntosh, Testing an intervention to increase self-efficacy of staff in managing clients perceived as violent, Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Division of Research and Advanced Studies, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, 2003 Authors Note: Seems like a very worthwhile side-effect of using proper techniques with psychiatric patients? This becomes especially true when Smalls (2004) found that with Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI) techniques, a 94% overall reduction of restraint use was noted over the 18-month duration of study and psychotropic medications experienced a 29% overall decrease over the course of the study. Y. Smalls, Utility of the implementation of programmatic systems to reduce and eliminate restraint use for the treatment of problem behaviors with individuals with mental retardation, Unpublished dissertation, 2004. Retrieved February 20, 2006 Authors Note: When the first female security officer hired at SMHC was hired, she described a mall she had worked, where bikers hung out, drug attics and traffickers hung out, most if not all carried weapons yet the first female security officer hired at SMHC dealt with them in her own way security manager Bob Lechow even called it the mall from hell during her interview for this security officer job at Selkirk Mental Health Center. Authors Note: In other words, instead of running rough shod over the patients [Cory Degraves style], the first female security officer hired at SMHC at 53 used finesse [Non-violent Crisis Intervention] and got her desired results. Authors Note: Had this apparent bully Cory Degraves who seems to be quite content to man-handle patients at Selkirk Mental Health Center [and apparently condoned by security manager Bob Lechow] tried this crap at the mall from hell it is surmised that the crack heads, the bikers would have had their fun with him! Authors Note: However, what better place to practice ones bullying behavior but in a psychiatric facility?

Dear Kelly, Nice speaking with you the other day. It all boils down to some of the male security officers [particularly Cory Degraves] at Selkirk Mental Health Center [SMHC] wanted it to be an all boys club and the security manager Bob Lechow has done everything in his power to appease them. Please remember it was security manager Bob Lechow that told me on 29 December 2010 about the complaints [by Cory Degraves] that I was not searching male patients / visitors and that these complaints stemmed back to October 2010 and that these complaints could lead to my dismissal. A more recent example of another complaint by Cory Degraves came on March 9th 2011 [see below]. Security manager Bob Lechow again did not reply to me!

RE: CSC Complaint - continued disrespectful work environment Hi Bob, I dont know about you, but Im getting tired of this guys antics? What should have been a simple process has, again thanks to Cory DeGraves, turned into another of his fiascos apparently because of his big mouth? I am really not surprised to find that Cory DeGraves is apparently again trying to downplay my role in an incident that occurred today [March 9th, 2011] involving one of the patients that was present at the Winter Games [as revealed to me by another security officer Jason this evening]. Apparently this Cory DeGraves said that I stood back while he and Bill S. handled the incident?????

39

A radio from Cory DeGraves, while I as on patrol, alerted me to an incident that began around 11:30am today when the Winter Games were coming to an end. The incident involved a female patient from A8, upon seeing other patients/individuals smoking but her escort didnt have her cigarettes, the patients behaviour escalated from a temper tantrum into a full blown incident where the woman repeatedly threw herself to the ground and refused to be moved. When I arrived on scene first the patient was on her feet, and the escort staff and I were using NVCI techniques to calm the patient from reacting more violently. We were having success with our NVCI techniques, the patient was calming down. However, when Cory DeGraves arrived on scene about fifteen minutes later in the security van, he immediately placed himself between me and the patient basically bullying me out of position and immediately grasped the patients arm attempting to get physical control over the patient. In response to Cory DeGraves man-handling her, the patient dropped to the ground [passive resistance]. Cory DeGraves then radioed for assistance from Bill S. and one of the working mobile units on site. Once Mobile and Bill S. arrived, I assisted Cory DeGraves and Bill S. in bodily getting the female patient into the mobile SUV. While Cory DeGraves went around to the passenger side as a means of hooking the female patient under the armpits and bodily hauling her into the truck both myself and Bill S. were pushing the patient into the van from the other side. It was during this period that the patient was really freaking out, kicking Bill S. and myself, trying to pull my hair, etc. As there was no means to straighten the female patient out in the Mobile unit and there was no room for anyone else, Cory DeGraves went with the escort staff to A8. Because Cory DeGraves still had the security van keys, Bill S. and I had to run over to A8 / Tyndell. Once at Tyndell, DeGraves and Bill S. grasped hold of the female patient by either arm while I followed behind [in case they needed assistance] to A8 where the nurses [Vivian and Terry] gave instructions for the patient to be taken to seclusion in A4. I dont know if this is the part of the incident that Cory DeGraves is talking about, where according to him, I wasnt doing much where I was following behind them, but
40

unless Cory DeGraves wanted me to grab the patients legs and carry her that way, it was impossible for me to be hands on at this point. Once we arrived at the seclusion room in A4, I assisted Bill S. in getting the female patient undressed and I assisted nursing staff member Vivian in getting the female patients undergarments [shoes and pants] off. The entire incident ended by 12:18 pm when I returned to the control room. If I was just standing by as this Cory DeGraves has told another SO, then why did I volunteer to handle another incident at 13:05? This second incident involved another female patient who is well known to security staff as someone who usually fights during almost every security-involvement with her. In this incident, however, it turned out to be a simple escort to self-requested seclusion as the patient knew she was on the verge of freaking out - it may have been due to my good rapport with patients, most refer to me as Patty that this patient went quietly. However, there are a few concerns I have with this Cory DeGraves and his apparent comments that I hadnt done much during the first incident: Has Cory DeGraves never been informed of the respectful workplace government policy or is Cory DeGraves just not interested in a respectful workplace when it comes to me - spreading bogus complaints bogus rumours? Isnt Cory DeGraves the guy that made bogus complaints to you that I was not searching male patients / visitors, apparently dating back to October 2010, as revealed by you when I saw you on 29 December 2010 even though SMHC has a same sex search policy? Arent Cory DeGraves bogus complaints the reason that I am not being appointed to the vacant full-time vacancy as all the male SOs were appointed from my competition unequal treatment of myself resulting [in part] for MHRC file # 11 EN 027 against the Ministry of Health? Arent Cory DeGraves bogus complaints the reason that, since I am not being appointed to the vacant full-time vacancy as all the male SOs were appointed from my competition, SMHC security is running short-staffed? Arent Cory DeGraves bogus complaints the reason that, since I am not being appointed to the vacant full-time vacancy as all the male SOs were appointed from my competition, a new male SO [N.A.] hired after me has apparently already been

41

recommended for the current vacancy although SMHC is running a Civil Service competition Advertisement Number 23730 for the vacancy? And because of Cory DeGraves bogus complaints, one might readily wonder how impartial the Civil Service competition Advertisement Number 23730 is going to be where it has been rumoured that a new male SO hired after me has already been recommended for the current vacancy? Arent Cory DeGraves bogus complaints the reason that, although SMHC is supposedly doing an investigation of my complaint to the DM in my email dated 05 January 2011, HR is apparently asking all SOs some apparent anti-female questions as one of the other SOs called them: -do you feel safe working with the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center [i.e., a female SO] isnt this a sexist uestion? -have you ever heard the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center refuse to search male patients isnt there a same sex search policy? -if the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center has refused to search male rooms and personal belongings never refused, in fact I have suggested this as outlined in my email to Bob Lechow dated 13 January 2011? And because of Cory DeGraves bogus complaints, one might readily wonder how impartial the internal investigation is going to be with apparent anti-female questions, as one of the other SOs called them? Arent Cory DeGraves bogus complaints and his cold shoulder [where he has incited others to do the same such as Jeremey Matovich] the reason behind my complaint to the Civil Service Commission under their respectful workplace policy which surely hasnt been my case with this Cory DeGraves bogus complaints and his cold shoulder and his constant efforts to spread bogus rumours such as his belittling my efforts in the first incident as cited above? - 08 January 2011, Jeremy Matovich when he found out I was coming in for a sick shift said: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors) [incident cited in another S.O.s evidence book, and mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. [Note: a call-in roster was implemented by the CEO to ensure everyone got an equal crack at available shifts, although people like Jeremy Matovich still seem to be circumventing it]

42

-08 January 2011 when I arrived on duty I was told by Jeremy Matovich to stay out of the control room because he was busy playing with his ipod and lap top [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. Hasnt SMHC had enough of Cory DeGraves antics yet?

Chapter 8 Selkirk Mental Health Center touts that it follows Non-Violent Crisis Intervention techniques what a crock? It was interesting to the author that apparently Selkirk Mental Health Center touts that it follows Non-Violent Crisis Intervention techniques [see Appendix 140 Part V, cited below]: Selkirk Mental Health Center provides Non-Violent Crisis Intervention training to all staff, and includes ward rehearsals of actual events in its training. Authors Note: Selkirk Mental Health Center touts that it follows Non-Violent Crisis Intervention techniques way back in its annual report for 2007 to 2008: Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, Suicide Prevention and Leadership Training/Mentoring were ongoing initiatives from the previous fiscal year. Authors Note: Even in Selkirk Mental Health Centers advertisement for security officers it says quite clearly: Will be able to handle difficult or stressful situations in an appropriate and safe manner using Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI) techni ues. Authors Note: That is apparently a crock! Authors Note: Apparently, however, security manager Bob Lechows preference is not for someone to use proper NVCI [non-violent crisis intervention] techniques with patients, although such is mentioned as a high priority at Selkirk Mental Health Center [see Part V, Appendix 139b cited above]. Authors Note: As mentioned by the first female security officer hired at SMHC in her email dated 09 March, 2011 to security manager Bob Lechow [see Part V, Appendix 139b cited above]: When I arrived on scene first the patient was on her feet, and the escort staff and I were using NVCI techniques to calm the patient from reacting more violently. We were having success with our NVCI techniques, the patient was calming down. Authors Note: It is apparently security manager Bob Lechows preference to have someone man-handle the patients, as demonstrated by Cory Degraves: However, when Cory DeGraves arrived on scene about fifteen minutes later in the security van, he immediately placed himself between me and the patient basically

44

bullying me out of position and immediately grasped the patients arm attempting to get physical control over the patient. Authors Note: If Non-Violent Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention are a concern of Selkirk Mental Health Center, which method would be more apt to cause a patient to self-injure themselves? Authors Note: The first female security officers proper use of NVCI [non-violent crisis intervention] techniques or Cory Degraves man-handling the patients? Authors Note: Obviously, it would seem apparent that Cory Degraves manhandling the patients would cause much more stress to the patient(s)? As cited: Impulsivity and aggression are not limited to any specific psychiatric disorder, or even to the presence of a disorder'. Mechanisms that lead to agitation also predispose to impulsivity, aggression and psychosis. These mechanisms include manic episode or mixed state of bipolar affective disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, agitated depression, anger attacks in patients with depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive spectrum of disorders, anxiety disorders, dementia, delirium, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, especially cluster B (antisocial, borderline and narcissistic), substance intoxication, including alcohol, stimulants and cannabis, or withdrawal from sedatives or alcohol. Managing Psychiatric Emergencies M. I. Ramadan The Internet Journal of Emergency Medicine, 4(1), 2007. As further noted, the findings suggest that respondents who attended training were positively influenced about using the techniques for controlling and preventing inpatient violence. Scores for the respondents showed a stronger intention to use the strategies. Calabro, K., & Williams, S. Evaluation of training designed to prevent and manage patient violence, Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 2002, 23, 315. Also see: Burnes Bolton, L., & Goodenough, A.

Authors Note: As asked, has Cory Degraves or the Security Manager been trained in such [NVCI techniques] and, if yes, why arent they using them? Authors Note: Or, does running rough-shod over a patient better suit their preference? Authors Note: Why then does Bob Lechow remain security manager when his preference is apparently for security for man-handling the patients? Authors Note: After all, Non-Violent Crisis Intervention techniques have been utilized in a variety of settings all, apparently, with positive results. In Fairchilds ( 99 ) unpublished masters thesis, it was found that participants reported a positive change in the learning climate, a reduction in the use of physical restraint, and an increase in staff confidence levels and effectiveness on the job.

Authors Note: Similarly, does the Selkirk Mental Health Center have to have a change of culture for some of the old-time-security guards that seem to be hesitant to embrace these tried true-and-true Non-Violent Crisis Intervention techniques? Authors Note: Some of them seem to be associated to the old security guards left over from the private outfit CORS that used to supply guard service to the Selkirk Mental Health Center? Authors Note: Apparently, including some of the cool kids gang? After all, a change in staff behavior was emphasized by McCue et. al. (2004) where the interventions used involved changing staff behavior, with the use of Nonviolent Crisis Intervention training, resulting in restraint use was reduced by more than 5 %. R.

With Petti, Somers & Sims (2003) finding similar results, the study specifically cites Nonviolent Crisis Intervention as a major part of the seclusion and restraint reduction effort10 with an overall reduction in restrictive practices was achieved over the course of the seven-year study. Petti, Somers, J., & Sims, L. A chronicle of seclusion and restraint in an intermediate-term care facility, Annals of Adolescent Psychiatry, 2003, 27, 83116. With Temple et. al. (2007) finding that with the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention training program, the study found that immediately after training, participants experienced greater comfort in facing a situation with a client exhibiting behaviors associated with motivation and adherence, and aggression, as well as when responding to other staff and client families.

47

Authors Note: Why then the man-handling of the patients, such as that by Cory Degraves [see Part V, Appendix 139b cited above]? Authors Note: Maybe Selkirk Mental Health Center should consider a change of some of the old-time-security guards to ensure a proper culture where Nonviolent Crisis Intervention techniques would be better accepted in the security department?

Chapter 9 Security manager Bob Lechow did not mention any of the first female security officers complaints about sex discrimination? Please remember too that SMHC would also like to protect themselves from a complaint of female discrimination and that is why HR Manager Debbie Kelly had asked all male SOs anti-female questions in her so called independent investigation of the first female security officers 5 January complaint to Deputy Minister Milton Sussman, such as this question: do you feel safe working with the first female security officer [hired at SMHC]? What???? Isnt this a sexist question? Authors Note: Similarly, security manager Bob Lechow wrote a letter dated April, 2011 to the first female security officer hired at SMHC in which he did not mention any of her complaints about sex discrimination as per her MHRC complaint EN [see Appendix 141 Part V, cited below]. Authors Note: In the first female security officers email dated 8 April, security manager Bob Lechow she indicates [see Appendix 141 Part V]: Your letter to me dated 11 April 2011 leaves an awful lot out? Why is that Bob? Dont want to admit your non-existent supervision? After all, you were my direct supervisor as per the position regs. Your letter failed to mention [as revealed to me on 29 December 2011] that you had received complaints [mainly from Cory Degraves] dating back to October [or earlier] that I was not searching male / patients and that these complaints could lead to my dismissal why did you wait several months before bringing these to my attention no supervision there Bob? This is sexual discrimination because I could not search male patients / visitors because SMHC has a same-sex search policy no supervision there Bob? Your letter failed to mention complaints by other male SOs [there were 4 in total] that I was not searching male / patients, who also made it perfectly clear that they did not want a female staff on duty:

to

Your letter failed to mention that, when the CEO Danah Bellehumeur heard about these incidents during my meeting with her on 11 January 2011, she forced you to implement a roster system so that all security officers [including myself] would be called in for shifts equitably because you had done nothing as a supervisor to correct this sex discrimination. Your letter failed to mention that, when the CEO Danah Bellehumeur heard about these incidents during my meeting with her on 11 January 2011, she forced you to implement a roster system so that all security officers [including myself] would have adequate access to the control room to practice door controls because you had done nothing as a supervisor to correct this sex discrimination behaviour no supervision there Bob? However, in spite of your lack of supervision you reference an incident about door controls [mid-October and November] in your letter to me dated 11 April 2011 instead of mentioning the fact that this occurred before I was finally given access to the control room in January 2011 thanks to the CEO intervention in forcing you to implement a roster system so I could finally have adequate access to the control room because you had done nothing as a supervisor to correct the problem Bob? Your letter failed to mention that you never told me anything about room search complaints [again from Cory Degraves], which was only revealed to me by the CEO Danah Bellehumeur when I met with her on 11 January 2011 again no supervision on your part Bob? Your letter failed to mention that, although I asked you in an email dated 13 January 2011 if my room searches were O.K. [see below], you never did reply no supervision there Bob [see Appendix 141b Part V, cited below]? Your letter failed to mention that, although I asked you again in an email dated 17 January 2011 if my room searches were O.K. [see below], you again never did reply no supervision there Bob [see Appendix 141c Part V, cited below]? Authors Note: Notice that, although security manager Bob Lechow was the first female security officers immediate supervisor he never once told her about any socalled incidents when they occurred and only depended on comments by Cory Degraves and other cool kids gang members in other words, on only 3 stoolies or, if this is too negative, on only three stooges!

Your letter failed to mention complaints by other male SOs [there were 4 in total] that I was not searching male / patients, who also made it perfectly clear that they did not want a female staff on duty: On 12 December 2010, senior security officer Scott Foster. also made a complaint to Security Manager B.L. that this new female Security Officer was not searching male patients / visitors at this facility [cited in evidence book]? On 08 January 2011, another senior security officer Jeremey Matovich when he found out that I was coming in for a sick shift say [cited in evidence book]: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors). This is sexual discrimination because I could not search male patients / visitors because SMHC has a same-sex search policy no supervision there Bob? Your letter failed to mention that, when the CEO Danah Bellehumeur heard about these incidents during my meeting with her on 11 January 2011, she forced you to implement a roster system so that all security officers [including myself] would be called in for shifts equitably because you had done nothing as a supervisor to correct this sex discrimination. Your letter failed to mention that I was being denied access to the control room: On 24 December 2010, senior male Security Officer Cory Degraves told me to stay out of the control room so to keep busy she spent a good number of hours doing patrols from 11:50 to 16:45 in the frigid cold [cited in evidence book]? This command by senior male Security Officer Cory Degraves was based on sexual discrimination because I could not search male patients / visitors. On 29 December 2010, senior male Security Officer Cory Degraves again told me to stay out of the control room so to keep busy she again spent a good number of hours doing patrols from 09:00 to 14:25 in the frigid cold [cited in evidence book]? This command again by senior male Security Officer Cory Degraves was based on sexual discrimination because I could not search male patients / visitors. 08 January 2011 when I arrived on duty I was told by senior male Security Officer Jeremy Matovich to stay out of the control room because he was busy playing with his ipod and lap top [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011].

This command again by senior male Security Officer Jeremey Matovich was based on sexual discrimination because I could not search male patients / visitors. Your letter failed to mention that, when the CEO Danah Bellehumeur heard about these incidents during my meeting with her on 11 January 2011, she forced you to implement a roster system so that all security officers [including myself] would have adequate access to the control room to practice door controls because you had done nothing as a supervisor to correct this sex discrimination behaviour no supervision there Bob? However, in spite of your lack of supervision you reference an incident about door controls [mid-October and November] in your letter to me dated 11 April 2011 instead of mentioning the fact that this occurred before I was finally given access to the control room in January 2011 thanks to the CEO intervention in forcing you to implement a roster system so I could finally have adequate access to the control room because you had done nothing as a supervisor to correct the problem Bob? Your letter failed to mention that you never told me anything about room search complaints [again from Cory Degraves], which was only revealed to me by the CEO Danah Bellehumeur when I met with her on 11 January 2011 again no supervision on your part Bob? Your letter failed to mention that, although I asked you in an email dated 13 January 2011 if my room searches were O.K. [see below], you never did reply no supervision there Bob? Your letter failed to mention that, although I asked you again in an email dated 17 January 2011 if my room searches were O.K. [see below], you again never did reply no supervision there Bob? One last item, Bob you mention in your letter that Manitoba Sheriff Instructors Peter Waldie and Ian Chipka told you I did not do very well in the course [although they issued me a certificate of completion dated 23 July 2010, see attached]. Are you saying Bob that Manitoba Sheriff Instructors Peter Waldie and Ian Chipka would jeopardize their reputations by passing someone who was not up to standard? Were you the one that requested that HR Manager Debbie Kelly to ask [during her investigation of my sex discrimination complaint to the DM on 05 January] all male security officers do you feel safe working with the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center? What kind of sexist uestion is that? Did these senior male Security Officer Cory Degraves, Scott Foster and Jeremey Matovich apparently reply that they did not feel safe working with me?
54

After all, you make reference to an incident again involving a complaint by Cory Degraves that I did nothing on 9 March 2011 [see email below]. It appears to me Bob, that you have made it a point of collecting complaints [mainly by Cory Degraves] without telling me anything about them until weeks or months after they have [allegedly] occurred in a concerted effort to prove that I [as a female] cant do the job: On 08 January 2011, another senior security officer Jeremey Matovich when he found out that I was coming in for a sick shift say [cited in evidence book]: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors). Thats definitely not much supervision on your part Bob? Regards, The first female security officer hired at SMHC

Danah Bellehumeur, CEO Debbie Kelly HR Consultant SMHC, debbie.kelly@gov.mb.ca cc. Tim Byers, MGEU -SMHC Union Rep timothyebyers@hotmail.com bod-area5@mgeu.ca Hi Bob, On the advice of my Union rep following my 11 January 2011 meeting with the CEO, he advised to cc copies to all concerned. The reason I write today is that the CEO during my 11 January meeting mentioned: are you searching the rooms also, with respect to my being a team-player indicating that this aspect is also something the other security officers have complained about. The CEO also uestioned if you search the bags and personal belongings of guests and visitors. This is the first Ive heard of these complaints. Isnt an employee supposed to hear about complaints at the time they happen? My reply to this information from the CEO is this:
56

I have been taught by the other security officers the general procedure with respect to body-searching is for one [same sex] security guard and one of the staff [usual a PNA] to attend to the patient or guest. Usually the PNA is the individual whom at this particular point in time will search any of the patients/visitors personal belongings - bags while the person is getting body-searched by a [same sex] security officer. If there are a number of patients to be searched and there are additional security officers around they may go and assist the original officer do body searches [if the same sex] otherwise they can do belonging - bag searches, which I always do to assist my fellow SOs. The only time I couldnt assist in doing belongings - bags searches [and this applies to my male SO counterparts] is when there is only two security officers on duty and one has to be in the control room [as per policy] in these situations the same sex SO leaves the control room and does the body searches, while the PNAs do the belonging bag searches. So, I dont see where the complaint is being made that I am not a team player and that I do not search belongings and bags? I might also add that I have never skirted my responsibilities, including my fair share of room searches. What I have even proposed to all the male SOs is that, if they have males to search, to even out the work I will do the room searches. This, however, has obviously not appeased those male SOs that do not want me on site because I cannot do male searched. If this is not correct procedure, please advise. In fact, if truth be told Ive been the brunt of double duty when it comes to some of these same male SOs that do not want me on site because I cannot search males. For example, on December 30th, 2010 one of the PNAs [C.] was annoyed that, although I had just returned to Area 15 after a 2 hour patrol, the other male SO who had sat in the control room for those 2 hours immediately told me to do a room search. What appears to be the case is that the same male SOs who have clearly indicated they do not want me on site because I cannot search male patients / visitors have embellished their complaints about this [you revealed their male search complaints

57

on 29 December 2010] with the above revelation that I am not searching belongings or rooms, which is not the case whatsoever! Jeremey Matovich [spelling?] on 08 January 2011: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches). We dont want any female SO on the weekend as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors). Cory De Grave [spelling?] still gives me the cold shoulder because I am not searching male patients / visitors. Scott Forester [spelling?] recently protested on 12 December 2010 that I was not searching male patients and even held everyone up because he had to email Bob Lechow right away to complain, while the PNAs were demanding he hurry up with his email to Bob Lechow. William (Bill) Sinclair [spelling?] recently said to me that if I couldnt do male searches than why bother (doing the job). Thanks The first female security officer hired at SMHC

The CEO questioned whether or not I was doing bag belonging - room searches properly during our meeting on 11 January 2011. I think it important to clarify whether I am doing these right, and I sent an mail dated 13 January 2011 about the matter. Im not sure if you received my email as I have not received a reply yet. Debbie Kelly says to wait, however, I wanted to repeat my email below, as it would be very crucial information for the next time you call me into work? I do and have done room searches whenever needed or asked to do them. We search bags and belongings as per my 13 January 2011 email below. Whenever needed or available [not on patrol or unable to come out of control room as per policy, the requirement of one security in control room at all times except an emergency] I do and have done belonging - bag searches. If my information is correct, then I assume this is a non-issue? The first female security officer hired at SMHC

Chapter 10 The apparent cool kids gang at Selkirk Mental Health Center? Now lets get this straight, the cool kids gang apparently instigated by Cory Degraves who also works for CORS while working at SMHC included: Cory Degraves [apparently also a CORS employee] Bill Sinclair Scott Foster [apparently also a CORS employee] Jeremey Matvichuk [he has since left SMHC] Louis Poitras

Authors Note: To confirm again that security manager Bob Lechow was well aware of this most senior security officers refusal to work with Cory Degraves because of the cool kids gang harassment, reference is made to this email: Sent: March 19, 2011 4:42:26 PM Next rotation re uested change To: Lechow, Bob (HEALTH) (bob.lechow@gov.mb.ca) Hi Bob, James has asked me if I could do his day shifts in the next rotation and he would take my night shifts? I have said I would be glad to, and James said he would contact you. I also wanted to touch base with you, to make sure you have approved this change. Im not sure how long this change will be for, as I think James has indicated he would like to go back to his 1700 to 0100 whenever that occurs. In any event, I will do James day shifts for as long as he wishes. Just let me know, Authors Note: In arranging this, its very clear that security manager Bob Lechow was well aware of the situation, as this e-mail indicates:

Chapter 11 Well, by geeze, who were security manager Bob Lechows main stoolies about the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center? Now lets get this straight, the cool kids gang apparently instigated by Cory Degraves who also works for CORS while working at SMHC included: Cory Degraves [apparently also a CORS employee] Bill Sinclair Scott Foster [apparently also a CORS employee] Jeremey Matvichuk [he has since left SMHC] Louis Poitras

Remember, the type of sex discrimination they pulled on the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center, as cited in her communications to SMHC management and to Deputy Minister of Health Milton Sussman: -12 December 2010, Scott Foster knowing full well that SMHC has a same sex search policy still protested to Bob that I was not searching male patients / visitors, and even held everyone up because he had to email Bob Lechow right away to make a [bogus] complaint, while the PNAs were demanding he hurry up with his email to Bob Lechow [incident cited in my evidence book, and mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -Around the same time, Bill Sinclair said to me that if I couldnt do male searches than why bother (doing the job) [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -On 24 December 2010 when Cory Degraves told me to stay out of the control room, go on patrol so to keep busy I spent a good number of hours doing patrols; I was on patrol from 11:50 to 16:45 in the frigid cold [incident cited in my evidence book, and mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. [Note: a control room roster was implemented by the CEO to prevent anyone, including Cory Degraves from hogging the control room]. -On 29 December 2010 Cory Degraves again told me to stay out of the control room so to keep busy I again spent a good number of hours doing foot patrols, from 09:00 to 14:25 in the frigid cold [incident cited in my evidence book, and mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -29 December 2010 Security Manager Bob Lechow mentioned that he had [bogus] complaints from Cory Degraves that I was not searching male patients / visitors,

some of the complaints apparently dating back to October 2010 and these could lead to my dismissal [see my emails dated 30 December 2010, 31 December 2010, 02 January 2011, 03 January 2011all sent to Security Manager Bob Lechow about these bogus complaints]. - 08 January 2011, Jeremey Matovich when he found out I was coming in for a sick shift said: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors) [incident cited in another S.O.s evidence book, and mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. [Note: a call-in roster was implemented by the CEO to ensure everyone got an equal crack at available shifts, although people like Jeremey Matovich still seem to be circumventing it] -08 January 2011 when I arrived on duty I was told by Jeremey Matovich to stay out of the control room because he was busy playing with his ipod and lap top [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011].

Sent: February 21, 2011 7:31:06 PM Important: Workplace Bullying To: Lechow, Bob (HEALTH) (bob.lechow@gov.mb.ca) Bob, I want to inform you that I have enjoyed working for you, SMHC, and with the other Security Officers as there was always a good atmosphere in the control room, however I believe at least since the beginning of this most recent daytime rotation I have been bullied or harassed as there have been a couple of incidents that are more than coincidental, I think based off of my minor involvement in a "discrimination complaint" laid by my sister which is in violation of new Manitoba Workplace Health and Safety regulations implemented at the beginning of the month. According to the Manitoba Government Labour and Immigration Workplace Health and Safety new safety regulations implemented just at the beginning of February 2011, I believe I have been harassed or bullied on the job based specifically and only on the fact that I am the brother of a fellow government employee who put a complaint into SMHC to investigate the fact that she was "being discriminated by other SOs because of her performance". I understand that the CEO got involved in my sisters complaint because my sister had a meeting with the CEO in the beginning of January and I know this because I was able to pick up my boots from you at the same time. With my sister's complaint I got involved only when I recorded "accurate" comments from Jeremey Matvichuk, as he was having a hissy fit, witnessed by the night-time Nurse in Charge stating he "did not want my sister coming in on a Saturday morning shift" I suspect, Jeremey Matvichuk, who had a Human Resources meeting before this daytime rotation, I assumed over him leaving SMHC but now I believe he was informed that I provided "minor information" to my sister's complaint targeted me by not speaking to me at all or providing me debriefing on all shifts that I replaced him during this daytime rotation which culminated with him telling me this morning as I was relieving him on February 21st, 2011 as he passed me (last day??) to "blow me", a sexually offensive comment which according to the Manitoba Government Labour and Immigration Workplace Health and Safety regulations. I believe that this comment was directed to harm my psyche as it was an extremely sexually offensive comment. And since I had an awesome relationship with Jeremey until his HR meeting and I provided comments in relation to a discrimination investigation I can only assume that this disgusting comment was directed at me because of my minor participation in
65

the "discrimination" complaint of my sister and it has upset me greatly which violates (2) Manitoba Government Labour and Immigration WorkSafe Policy regulations that were implemented at the beginning of the month. Authors Note: What kind of pig says blow me to another security officer? Authors Note: Security manager Bob Lechow was also well aware of Jeremey Matvichuks temperament and sexist attitude / derogatory comments because security manager Bob Lechow acknowledged this event, in his reply to the brother in an email dated 23 February: Sent: February 23, 2011 7:07:17 AM RE: Important: Workplace Bullying From: Lechow, Bob (HEALTH) (Bob.Lechow@gov.mb.ca) I would like to thank you for coming forward and providing this information I have recd. it and will be meeting with Debbie Kelly Director of Human Resources to discuss this matter will advise you as soon as possible of the course of direction decided upon... Bob Lechow Security Manager Authors Note: However, notice the date on this email to security manager Bob Lechow dated 23 February, 2011 about Jeremey Matvichuks rude, sexist comment to the brother of the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center! Authors Note: As far as the author can tell: For security manager Bob Lechow to deny any knowledge of sex-discrimination of the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center in his letter to her dated 11 April, 2011 [see Appendix 144 Part V, cited below] apparently simply shows, at the very least, complicity by Bob Lechow in ignoring and trying to cover-up the sex discrimination against the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center. Authors Note: On the other hand, a more honest impression of the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center is given by the most senior security officer at SMHC:

Authors Note: The first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center obviously has INTEGRITY and apparently security manager Bob Lechow, along with his cool kids favorites, especially Cory Degraves, have none!

Your letter failed to mention complaints by other male SOs [there were 4 in total] that I was not searching male / patients, who also made it perfectly clear that they did not want a female staff on duty: On 12 December 2010, senior security officer Scott Foster. also made a complaint to Security Manager B.L. that this new female Security Officer was not searching male patients / visitors at this facility [cited in evidence book]? On 08 January 2011, another senior security officer Jeremey Matovich when he found out that I was coming in for a sick shift say [cited in evidence book]: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors). This is sexual discrimination because I could not search male patients / visitors because SMHC has a same-sex search policy no supervision there Bob?

Your letter failed to mention that I was being denied access to the control room: On 24 December 2010, senior male Security Officer Cory Degraves told me to stay out of the control room so to keep busy she spent a good number of hours doing patrols from 11:50 to 16:45 in the frigid cold [cited in evidence book]? This command by senior male Security Officer Cory Degraves was based on sexual discrimination because I could not search male patients / visitors.

Louis Poitras, another apparent cool kids gang member.

Lets see what they had to say [see Appendix 46a, 46b & 46c Part V, cited below]? Authors note: In the case of Cory Degraves, the apparent cool kids gang leader, it appears that he was somewhat stupid [see Appendix 146a Part V]? Authors note: He made a blatant error! Authors note: Although he has dated his complaints against the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center as 23 October, 2010 he clearly refers to supposed incidents in November and x-mas [see Appendix 146a Part V]:

73

Authors note: So, in other words, Cory Degraves was told by SMHC management [most likely security manager Bob Lechow and/or HR manager Debbie Kelly] to remove all references to his complaints that the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center was not searching male patients / visitors [i.e., sex discrimination] and to make up a new list with all sorts of other crap in it? Authors note: However, in Cory Degravess zeal to stick it to the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center, he forgot to re-date his original complaints to security manager Bob Lechow that the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center was not searching male patients / visitors [i.e., sex discrimination] which Bob Lechow mentioned to the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center on 29 December, 2010! Authors note: And apparently security manager Bob Lechow goofed too by not telling Cory Degraves to re-date his contrived summary. Authors note: However, to apparently help protect himself, security manager Bob Lechow finally confirmed during a security staff meeting of 27 April 2011 SMHC that SMHC was having trouble with some of the CORS employees since SMHC tried to go to in-house during meeting to investigate harassment of another S.O. [i.e., the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center]! Authors note: And, as you will see in the next chapters, much of the wording from the cool kids gang stoolies is very similar indicating rehearsed witnesses same wording although supposedly different dates? Authors note: How can these stoolies have the same wording, if their so-called summaries regarding the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center were dated months / weeks apart [Cory Degraves 23 October, 2010; Bill Sinclair around 22 November, 2010; and Louis Poitras dated 28 December, 2010]? Authors note: Simply shows contrived complicity by security manager Bob Lechow, HR manager Debbie Kelly [as we will see]. Authors note: The supposed summary by the cool kids gang leader, Cory Degraves, supposedly dated 23 October, 2010 although he reports supposed events in November and x-mas [see Appendix 146a Part V]?
74

Authors note: How can this be, if his summary was dated 23 October, 2010 [see Appendix 146a Part V]? Authors note: One of the most interesting fabrications by stoolie Cory Degraves is [see Appendix 146a Part V]:

Authors note: On the other hand, a more honest impression of the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center is given by the most senior security officer at SMHC:

Authors Note: The first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center obviously has INTEGRITY and apparently security manager Bob Lechow, along with his cool kids favorites, especially Cory Degraves, have none!

75

Part V, Appendix 146a Authors Note: Heres the supposed summary by the cool kids gang leader, Cory Degraves, supposedly dated 23 October, 2010 although he reports supposed events in November and x-mas? Authors Note: How can this be, if his summary was dated 3 October, ?

Authors Note: In other words, complete fabrication! Authors Note: How stupid can you get cant even get your fabricated stories straight? Authors Note: As for security manager Bob Lechow, the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center phoned Bob Lechow specifically asking him her instructions for the tea party.

Authors note: In terms of Stoolie CoryDegraves comments, he clearly indicates that the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center is limited in what she can do she cannot search male patients / visitors and this is the crux of her sexdiscrimination complaint to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission file # 11EN027.

88

Authors Note: Stoolie CoryDegraves zeal in sticking it to the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center has clearly and inadvertently indicated the beef against the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center she is limited in what she can do she cannot search she cannot search male patients / visitors because of SMHCs same-sex search policy! Authors Note: And the only staff that have questioned the reason for why the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center is at SMHC, if she cant search male patients / visitors is Cory Degraves cool kids gang members! Authors note: For example: -Around the same time, Bill Sinclair said to me that if I couldnt do male searches than why bother (doing the job) [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. - 08 January 2011, Jeremey Matovich when he found out I was coming in for a sick shift said: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors) [incident cited in another S.O.s evidence book, and mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. Authors note: Remember what stoolie Cory Degraves writes - he clearly indicates that the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center is limited in what she can do she cannot search male patients / visitors and this is the crux of her sexdiscrimination complaint to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission file # 11EN027:

Authors Note: As for security manager Bob Lechow in helping to get the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center for having the nerve to complaint to Deputy Minister Milton Sussman [05 January 2011 and 11 February 2011] about sex-discrimination, Bob Lechow inadvertently missed this blatant error in Cory Degraves summary where Cory Degraves has readily admitted that the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center is limited in what she can do at SMHC - she cannot search male patients / visitors because of SMHCs samesex search policy! Authors note: Thus substantiating, the first females complaint to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission file # 11EN027.

89

Authors note: The first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center on the other hand, cites supporting emails and notations in her [and others] evidence books: -12 December 2010, Scott Foster knowing full well that SMHC has a same sex search policy still protested to Bob that I was not searching male patients / visitors, and even held everyone up because he had to email Bob Lechow right away to make a [bogus] complaint, while the PNAs were demanding he hurry up with his email to Bob Lechow [incident cited in my evidence book, and mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. -Around the same time, Bill Sinclair said to me that if I couldnt do male searches than why bother (doing the job) [mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011]. - 08 January 2011, Jeremey Matovich when he found out I was coming in for a sick shift said: Why is she coming in; She cant do anything; I have to do the searches (i.e., the male searches); We dont want any female SO as they cannot do the work (i.e., search male patients / visitors) [incident cited in another S.O.s evidence book, and mentioned in email to CEO dated 09 January 2011].

Chapter 16 Example #20 - The first bit of b.s. that SMHC HR Manager Debbie Kelly mentions is that she interviewed 21 employees although she only used the statements of the same three nutters as those used by security manager Bob Lechow, specifically Cory Degraves, Bill Sinclair, and Louis Poitras? Just as the previous chapters have indicated, it was very obvious in reading security manager Bob Lechows notes regarding his meeting with the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center on 29 December 2010, Bob Lechow relied only on three of the cool gang nutters at SMHC. Authors Note: They were again, the same nutters, those being Cory Degraves, Bill Sinclair, and Louis Poitras? Authors Note: Likewise, in looking at Selkirk Mental Health Center HR manager Debbie Kellys so-called independent investigation dated 22 April, 2011 for the Manitoba Civil Service Commission, it too becomes very obvious that she has also used the same nutters, those being Cory Degraves, Bill Sinclair, and Louis Poitras. Authors Note: What a crock of b.s.? Authors Note: The first bit of b.s. that Selkirk Mental Health Center HR manager Debbie Kelly mentions is that she interviewed 21 employees although she only used the statements of the same three nutters as those used by security manager Bob Lechow, specifically Cory Degraves, Bill Sinclair, and Louis Poitras? Due to limited space, we are going to jump to Example #20. Lets take example :

Authors Note: Selkirk Mental Health Center HR manager Debbie Kelly wrote:

Authors Note: This was actually the nature of the first female security officers complaint to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission file # 11 EN 027. Authors Note: This was the gist of the first female security officers complaint to the Deputy Minister of Health Milton Sussman on 05 January 2011.

91

Authors Note: It was also the gist of the first female security officers complaint to the Deputy Minister of Health Milton Sussman on 11 February 2011 [see Appendix 63, Part III], in which the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center expressly lists the Human Rights Violations codes: MHRC Code: 9(1) In this Code, "discrimination" means b. differential treatment of an individual or group on the basis of any characteristic referred to in subsection (2) Applicable characteristics 9(2)(f) sex [i.e., I as a female SO]. Authors Note: Notice, however, how Selkirk Mental Health Center HR Manager Debbie Kelly fails to mention this Human Rights violation and doesnt even refer to the first female security officers email to Deputy Minister of Health Milton Sussman on 11 February 2011. Authors Note: Instead, Selkirk Mental Health Center HR Manager Debbie Kelly bypasses this reference to sex-discrimination and goes to the first female security officers complaint to one of Debbie Kellys confederates, CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate [see Appendix 61, Part III]:

Authors Note: However, where Selkirk Mental Health Center HR Manager Debbie Kelly says the complaints are similar she again ignores the first female security officers complaint to the Deputy Minister of Health Milton Sussman on 11 February 2011 [see Appendix 17], in which the first female security officer expressly lists the Human Rights Violations codes: MHRC Code: 9(1) In this Code, "discrimination" means b. differential treatment of an individual or group on the basis of any characteristic referred to in subsection (2) Applicable characteristics 9(2)(f) sex [i.e., I as a female SO]. Authors Note: And, CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate has NOTHING to do with Human Rights complaints:

92

Authors Note: This was the trick pulled by Selkirk Mental Health Center HR Manager Debbie Kelly in her so-called independent investigation of the first female security officers complaint to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission file # 11 EN 027. Authors Note: Again, a conspiracy through and through, this time with Selkirk Mental Health Center HR Manager Debbie Kelly thrown into the mix, possibly with CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate in cahoots? Authors Note: And thats why the most senior security officer at SMHC made the very positive comments about the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center:

Authors Note: The first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center obviously has INTEGRITY and apparently security manager Bob Lechow and apparently HR manager Debbie Kelly and possibly CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate in the background co-ordinating this so-called independent investigation, along with their cool kids favorites, having none!

93

Chapter 17 Was CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate in cahoots with Selkirk Mental Health Center HR Manager Debbie Kelly who failed to mention any examples of the sex-discrimination / unequal treatment of the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center based on the statements of three nutters, specifically Cory Degraves, Bill Sinclair, and Louis Poitras? Was CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate in the background co-ordinating this socalled independent investigation by Selkirk Mental Health Center HR manager Debbie Kelly dated 22 April, 2011? Authors Note: Why else would CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate not reply to the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center [see Appendix 156, Part V]? Authors Note: Why, because CSC Commissioner Debra Woodgate knew the fix was in against the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center, as cited in the previous chapters?

94

Part V, Appendix 156 Authors Note: Manitoba Civil Service Commission guaranteeing a respectful work place is a sham! PERSONAL CONFIDENTIAL for Debra Woodgate, Civil Service Commissioner Sent: February 21, 2011 10:38:06 PM To: csc@gov.mb.ca 22 February 2011 Debra Woodgate, Civil Service Commissioner PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL Civil Service Commission 935-155 Carlton Street Winnipeg, MB R3C 3H8 Phone: 204-945-2332 Manitoba Toll Free: 1-800-282-8069 ext. 2332 TDD/TTY: 204-945-1437 Fax: 204-945-1486 Email: csc@gov.mb.ca Formal Complaint - Respectful Workplace Policy I dont see a personal email for you. I have been harassed for not violating Selkirk Mental Health Center same sex search policy, I have been the subject of false complaints because of this, I have had a reduction in my hours because of this, and I am not being promoted by SMHC because I complained to the Deputy Minister of Health Milton Sussman. I would like to make a formal complaint under the Manitoba Civil Service Act [Respectful Workplace Policy] irrespective of my Human Rights complaint, as the Manitoba Civil Service Commission can immediately address and remedy this treatment whereas the MHRC may take some time. My emails to the Deputy Minister of Health appear below to help highlight the extent of the harassment / unequal treatment / unfair treatment because I am female! In fact, after my first email to Mr. Milton Sussman on 05 January 2011 and my meeting with SMHC CEO Danah Bellehumeur / HR Manager Debbie Kelly matters at SMHC got a lot worse! For example, despite Security Manager Bob Lechow clearly indicating in an email dated 19 November 2010 that I will get any / all hours that come up until the next FT position to be filled
95

And regardless of my commitment to SMHC, they are apparently rewarding me by giving the available full-time shift promised to me by Security Manager Bob Lechow to someone else [Bob Lechow has apparently already told a new male SO Neil Alexander hired after me that he would recommend Neil for the available full-time shift] All the male SOs hired during my competition were simply appointed to the available full-time shifts, but when it comes to me as the first female SO at SMHC the CEO says I will not be appointed to the available full-time shift CEO Danah Bellehumeur in an email dated 18 February 2011 has confirmed that she / SMHC is treating me differently to my male SO counterparts hired during my competition who were all simply appointed to full-time status [some with no shifts at SMHC], but when it comes to me as the first female SO at SMHC I will not be appointed to the available full-time spot? Where I have well over 500 hours at SMHC, I have completed Mental Health First Aid, Hearing Voices Workshop, Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Responding to Psychiatric Emergency Calls / Incidents of Aggression / Seclusion Room Escorts at SMHC, as well as NVCI and Sheriff training [required for an FT position at SMHC], none of the SOs hired after me have completed this training]. I have bills just like male SOs who have all been appointed to full-time spots, so why should I have to put up being treated differently as a female? Because my union can do nothing for me Diana Delroy email dated 16 February 2011 makes it clear that the union is limited: The problem we are faced with is that due to the fact that you are a casual employee and Article 11 Recruitment and Selection is not listed as one of the Articles applicable to casual employees, we technically are on shaky ground for a selection grievance as the Employer is not obligated to provide you with work. Having said this, as I mentioned to you previously, the ability to grieve on your behalf is not clear cut. I am making a formal complaint to Debra Woodgate, Civil Service Commissioner. Thank you, The first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center

96

Chapter 18 Did Pam Roberts fib in her investigation with Manitoba Human Rights Commission? She kept referring to 21 employees interviewed by Selkirk Mental Health Center, however, what Pam Roberts failed to say that only statements from ONLY 3 COOL KID GANG MEMBERS were used and those three cool kid gang members were the very same male security officers that did not want a female security officer on staff because she could not search male patients!!! Like these two:

97

Chapter 19 Selkirk Mental Health Center did it to the first female security officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center, and they also did it to the second female security officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center that complained to CEO Danah Bellehumeur?

98

Chapter 20 CEO Danah Bellehumeur so anxious to get rid of first female security officer for complaining about sex discrimination she makes up things!!! Yah, Yah, Whatever! CEO Danah Bellehumeur so anxious to get rid of first female security officer for complaining about sex discrimination she makes up things!!! On page 3 of Pam Roberts so-called investigation report for the Manitoba Human Rights Commission she quotes the CEO Danah Bellehumeur saying if she was given direction or feedback from a more senior or full time officer she would say things like YAH WHATEVER!!!!!

This CEO Danah Bellehumeur at Selkirk Mental Health Center is a BIG FAT LIAR the first female security officer never says this however, that was a favorite expression of a male security officer at Selkirk Mental Health Center!! So, in CEO Danah Bellehumeurs haste to get rid of the first female security officer for making a complaint of sex discrimination to the Deputy Minister Milton Sussman and the Manitoba Health Minister Theresa Oswald, CEO Danah Bellehumeur was not averse to lying to Pam Roberts investigator with the Manitoba Human Rights Commission?? And, Pam Roberts was too stupid or too lazy to have read the 824 page submission to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission on behalf of the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center. Because in that submission it clearly says which male security officer used to say YAH WHATEVER all the time???? Authors Note: And, it wasnt the first female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center!!! Ironically, when the second female security officer hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center complained directly about sex discrimination to CEO Danah Bellehumeur, this second female security officer was soon gone from the Center too!!

99

Now to the email that proves that CEO Danah Bellehumeur is a BIG FAT LIAR!!! The person who says Yah Whatever is cited in this email dated 4 April, that everyone at Selkirk mental Health Center management was aware of and so was Pam Roberts at the Human Rights Commission!!! Cory Degraves Incident Yesterday From: TheGoodOnes Sent: April 14, 2011 5:49:10 AM To: Lechow, Bob (HEALTH) (bob.lechow@gov.mb.ca) April 14th, 2011 Hi Bob, From our discussion yesterday I just wanted to confirm what I wrote down in my notebook is accurate. I informed you yesterday that since I sent you an e-mail with regards to isolation a couple of months ago, I have not had any problems with Scott Foster or Bill Sinclair but that I have had continued issues with Cory Degraves, and one incident occurred yesterday. Incident; At 1033 I was requested by Nurse Mika A15 clinical nurse to provide presence while she and Dr. Kremer had meeting with patient D.L in lounge room while a male PNA Fredrico would provide clinical support inside the room. Just before 1100 Cory asked me to come to the control room which I quickly did and he re uested that I search patients who had returned. I informed him of my requested task and said he could radio one of the other guards. He said yeah whatever and rolled his eyes. This was disrespectful to me as I indicated to you in our discussion, as the request by Nurse Mika [and Dr. Kremer] was a very important security task that Cory Degraves should have comprehended. In our discussion you informed me that the first female security officers investigation is almost complete and during that investigation several other Security Officers brought concerns and complaints about an individual (Cory Degraves?) and that these complaints are of a general nature [about this individuals behaviour]. You also indicated that Human Resources will attempt to correct this issue with this individual that has come to light from the first female security officers investigation.
100

Therefore, you suggested that I should wait for the completion of the Human Resources investigation to be completed, and solutions implemented, but if any issues or incidents occur with this Cory Degraves [any that are tangible] I am to report them to you and if they continue to occur after HR solutions then you will step in to correct Cory Degraves behaviour. I am willing to wait for HR investigation to be complete and see if situation improves with this Cory Degraves. But if these incidents continue I will document and come back and report to you. Thank you Another male security officer WHATS THAT: He said yeah whatever and rolled his eyes. WHATS THAT, COY DEGRAVES [CO-WORKER A IN PAM ROBERTS REPORT] IS THE GUY THAT SAYS YAH WHATEVER AND NOT THE FIRST FEMALE SECURITY OFFICER AT SELKIRK MENTAL HEALTH CENTER AND ALL THE MANAGERS KNEW ABOUT THIS YET ALL SAID THE FIRST FEMALE SECURITY OFFICER AT SELKIRK MENTAL HEALTH WAS SAYING THIS AIRHEAD EXPRESSION!!!

Authors Note: Why do all the managers at Selkirk Mental Health Center support this guy [Cory Degraves] to the point of lying for him, and lying against the first female hired at Selkirk Mental Health Center? It was not the first female security officer that would say Yah Whatever it was Cory Degraves [Co-worker A] and all the managers at Selkirk Mental Health Centre knew this!! He said yeah whatever and rolled his eyes. And why does Pam Roberts, so-called investigator for the Manitoba Human Rights Commission pass-over this OUTRIGHT LIE by CEO Danah Bellehumeur at the Selkirk Mental Health Center??? Something very fishy going on at that place in Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada???

Chapter 21 Come on Manitoba Justice Minister Andrew Swan, what kind of frigging moron is your agent Jerry Woods? What kind of frigging moron a LIAR? Another Manitoba Moron?? And, another Manitoba LIAR?? How can this Jerry Woods send such a letter after reading the information submitted? Pam Roberts made it perfectly clear in her 5 January 5, 3 Investigative Assessment File EN that the CEO of Selkirk Mental Health Center was not pleased that the first female Security Officer complained to Deputy Minister Milton Sussman because nothing was being done about the unequal treatment / harassment / unsafe working conditions / isolation / sex discrimination commencing in October, 2010? Authors Note: This Jerry Woods confirms that the Manitoba Human Rights Commission is nothing but pure garbage!!
