Officers from the Winnipeg police homicide unit are investigating after a body was found in the backyard of a Simcoe Street home. Area residents said officers had been at 797 Simcoe St. since Thursday evening, concentrated around an area in the vacant home's backyard. While police weren't calling the death a homicide, Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Jason Michalyshen said the body was found in " very suspicious circumstances." Michalyshen said he couldn't comment on whether the body was wrapped in plastic. The person's gender was unknown, but an autopsy was to take place to nail down details of how long the body may have been there. " We are in the process of, obviously, still examining the scene," Michalyshen said. " We're going to look at all possibilities with regards to the circumstances and certainly how long the body was there, but we need to allow the process of an autopsy to occur before we start speculating." Friday morning, an official from the medical examiner's office was on scene, as well as a police identification unit van. Plywood covered the front windows of the home. Maureen Lamoureux, a neighbour to the property where the body was found, said no one is currently living at the home. Lamoureux said she had noticed a " rotten" smell in the area for approximately two months. " This is too much for an old lady," said the 75- year- old, calling the discovery " hard to take." Another neighbour who lives near the property and didn't want his name used said he saw officers remove something from the backyard on a metal pan on Friday at about 10 a. m., hours after police arrived. Police tape surrounded the back alley area Friday morning. In March 2012, the body of Carolyn Sinclair was discovered in a back lane off Notre Dame Avenue and Toronto Street - about three blocks away - in a Dumpster. Sinclair had been missing for three months. No arrests have been made in that case. " There may be some similarities that are already being compared by members of the public and the media, and that's something we're looking into, and we're going to, again, explore all possibilities," Michalyshen said. " However, these are two separate investigations at this time." gabrielle. giroday@ freepress. mb. ca THE University College of the North community will hear presentations Monday from the two finalists for the vacant president's job. The two candidates are current interim president Konrad Jonasson and Helen Allen, whom UCN officials confirmed is a former vice- president of education and student services from 2009- 11 at Vancouver Community College. Allen's Linked- In website profile says she was formerly a dean at Sheridan College in the Toronto area from 2006 to 2009, and before that was a dean for four years at Thompson River University in B. C. She has a master of social work from McGill University. She left Vancouver Community College last year after two years on the job, VCC officials said, and she is now involved in the homebuilding industry. She could not be reached. UCN officials wouldn't release her resum� and couldn't say whether she's aboriginal - a key question for a northern school serving a largely aboriginal population. A member of Cross Lake First Nation, Jonasson has served as UCN vicepresident of community- based services since 2002. Jonasson has been with the institution since 1989, when it was Keewatin Community College. He is originally from Wabowden and is based at the Thompson campus. UCN has seen more than its share of turmoil. Its first president, Denise Henning, a native academic from Oklahoma, was let go early in 2011 after clashing with elders, some faculty members and the school's governing bodies over policies and direction. UCN is struggling to find aboriginal faculty who understand the north and are committed to staying. The first presidential search to succeed Henning chose a candidate who subsequently declined the offer. Academic sources recently claimed there is internal turmoil and tension driving both non- aboriginals and nonnorthern aboriginal staff out of the fledgling institution based in The Pas and Thompson and a dozen scattered remote communities. But UCN officials say the school will only succeed and serve the community if it develops teaching staff who come from the north and want to build their lives in the north. " We've had ( outside) individuals who, for whatever reason, couldn't align themselves with the mission and the mandate," Jonasson said in a recent interview. He acknowledged professors and senior administrators from other areas have left. Allen will speak to the UCN community by teleconference from B. C. at 1: 30 p. m. Monday, and Jonasson will speak at 3 p. m. from either the Thompson or The Pas campus. The process allows students, faculty and others to hear from them before the governing council selects the successful candidate. The candidates have been told: " Given the 2010- 2015 Strategic Plan ' Nikani Meskanaw: The Path That Leads Us,' please outline the course of action you would take over the next three years as the new president and vice- chancellor." nick. martin@ freepress. mb. ca UCN hears from two president candidates By Nick Martin Body found in backyard of empty West End home By Gabrielle Giroday BORIS MINKEVICH / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Maureen Lamoureux finds the events ' hard to take.'
