A nearby outdoor gem, Ski Valley has nine diff erent ski runs off ering something for all level of ski and snowboard enthusi-asts. It is one of our greatest winter tourist attractions.

Minnedosa has been a regular stop in the Cana-dian Blood Services mobile donation clinics.

Last year, fi ve clinics were held at the Minnedosa Community Conference Centre. Over the course of the fi ve clinics, 265 donors walked through the doors and were able to donate 209 units of blood. “Th is is in contrast to 2013, where over fi ve clinics, we saw 337 donors attend and collected 275 units of blood,” commented Mike Choi, Event Co-ordinator with Donor Relations with Canadian Blood Services. Choi notes that the decline is attributed to the rise in no-show appointments. When a donor doesn’t call to cancel their appointment, we do not have an opportunity to open up that space to anoth-er donor who may want to donate. Th is fall the Canadian Blood Services inventory plunged to the lowest levels since 2008 due to simi-lar no-show situations across the country. “Th at being said, any amount of blood donation is benefi cial. With the units collected in Minnedosa in 2014, a cancer patient, who may use up to fi ve units weekly, could receive treatment for nearly 10 months,” continued Choi. Every year, Blood Services requires approxi-mately 85,000 new donors across Canada to keep up with patient needs. “In 2015, we hope to rise back up and collect close to 300 units in Minnedosa. With our exist-ing donor base aging, some of our most dedicated, long-time donors may come to rely on blood system themselves and this is where we hope our new do-nors can take the reins.” Any individual 17 to 71 can donate once every 56 days. Th e fi rst blood clinic of 2015 will be held on Tuesday, January 20th at the Minnedosa Commu-nity Conference Centre. For more information call 1-888-2-DONATE.

The Christmas Day Dinner Committee

By WOODMAN of the Christmas Day Dinner Committee

Christmas Day in Minnedosa is always

December 25th and for the past fi ve years it has also been the home of a special Christmas Day Dinner. Each fall, a group of Minnedosan’s start plan-

ning for the big day and this year’s event turned out bigger and better than ever. Even the weather co-operated this year! It takes more than just the com-mittee to put something like this on each year. Th e Town was gracious in granting us the use of the hall. Th e newly formed municipality kept an old tradition by helping fund

the Dinner. Several local businesses and service groups and individuals ensured our chequing ac-count was up to the task. It takes Volunteers to tie it all together and prepare and serve the feast. We had just the right amount of people shar-ing their talents and sto-ries on Christmas Eve as they prepared the food

and the hall. On Christ-mas Day we had a terrifi c team come out to prepare, serve and clean up! Anita sure knows how to make a feast and it’s not scientifi -cally proven but we think the calories consumed on Christmas Day don’t actu-ally count. Th e entryway of the hall was decorated like a winter wonderland with Greeters putting everyone in the Christmas spirit. Pointsettias and gifts were handed out to many that day. Santa’s last stop of the season is always one of his most enjoyable. He brings his whole family. Enjoyment was obvious by the amount of good conversations and miles of smiles that were seen around the hall for the en-tire event. Barb and Barry led the group in songs of the sea-son and some refl ections on Christmas. Wood-man the Butler was buzz-ing around greeting and serving and even became Woodman the Chauff eur as he was able to drive several guests home after the event. He heard from many that they were al-ready looking forward to doing this again in 2015. With the great sup-port of the community the Dinner committee once again had surplus funds. We will be forwarding

these to the Minnedosa Foundation, River’s Edge Recreation Park and the local Food Bank. Th is way we feel we can extend the smiles over a much longer period of time! If you see Anita Holdaway, Susan Hyde, B a r b H a n i s h e w s k i ,

Cheryl Orr, Barry McNabb, Tess Meadows, Jean Ha-chikowski or Ray Baloun tell them thanks for sit-ting on the committee and sharing their time and tal-ents for such a good cause. Th is is just one more step in making sure our town is also our home!

Deadline for Festival Entry Approaching

By JENNIFER PAIGE

The Rolling River Festival of the Arts deadline for entries is quickly approaching for the 2015 fes-

tival. “Th is festival certainly fosters the growth of art in our community and that is something that de-serves community encouragement and support. It gives anyone who is interested an appreciative and supportive audience to perform for,” commented Louise Uhryniuk, co-chair of the RRFA executive committee. Th is year’s festival will be held in Minnedosa from March 16th to the 20th with the entry deadline being January 14th. Th e RRFA is affi liated with the association of Manitoba Arts Festivals and is a non-profi t, volun-teer-based organization that provides a venue for student performance and adjudication in piano, speech arts, band, instrumental, vocal, choral and dance. “Participants are encouraged to get up and perform to the best of their ability, build their per-formance skills and develop confi dence in front of others. I know that my daughter has gained tremen-dous skills from her involvement in the arts over the years and looking at the big picture, having confi -dent performance skills is extremely valuable,” con-tinued Uhryniuk. Th is year the RRFA executive committee is hop-ing to increase participation in the speech arts cat-egory. “We have been putting emphasis on the speech category as we hope to regain some participation as it has seemed to diminish in recent years. I am not too sure what has lead to the drop in participation but I would imagine it has something to do with less involvement from the schools. Th ere is such a high demand on teachers that many of the extra or op-tional events they used to involve their students in, just does not happen anymore.” Entry for participation in the event involves a small entry fee but no age or skill limitations. En-try forms can be found on the Discover Minnedosa website, at any Rolling River School Division school, Minnedosa Pharmacy, Libraries in Minnedosa, Riv-ers and Rapid City. Th is year’s adjudicators include Arlene Baschuk for piano, Sarah Hall for vocal/choral/musical the-atre and speech arts, and Annette Hay for band/instruments and strings. Th e dance adjudicator has yet to be determined. “Getting up and presenting or performing in front of others is a diffi cult skill to learn but is greatly benefi cial later in life. Th is is an opportunity to prac-tice this skill and build confi dence,” added Uhryniuk.

On December 19th, Robert Sopuck,

Member of Parliament for Dauphin–Swan River–Marquette, on behalf of the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minis-ter responsible for Parks Canada, announced sub-stantial investments in Riding Mountain National

Park designed to renew infrastructure and support Canada’s National Conser-vation Plan (NCP). Sopuck announced more than $39 million in investments to support a number of infrastructure improvements in Riding Mountain National Park. $36.4 million will be in-vested over a fi ve year pe-riod for the resurfacing of Highway #10 through the

park. Th is will improve safety for visitors, enhance tourism for local and re-gional communities and businesses and promote wildlife viewing and sight-seeing along one of Mani-toba’s most scenic high-ways. Highway #10 was built in the 1930s and was seen as a major improve-ment for both visitors and the business community, as the driving distance be-

tween Dauphin and Bran-don was shortened by 75 km. An additional $2.7 million will be plugged into the Wasagaming Campground to expand the oTENTik rental facili-ties, add water and electri-cal utility services to ap-proximately 200 sites and improve washroom build-ings and picnic shelters for an improved visitor

experience. “Our Government is proud to be making re-cord investments in Parks Canada sites across the country,” said M.P. Sopuck. “Investments like these in Riding Mountain National Park are encouraging job creation and economic growth, while taking tan-gible actions to help Ca-nadians connect with this incredible national park.”

Th e NCP was launched by Prime Minister Harper in May 2014 to provide a shared and coherent vision to advance conservation eff orts across the country. Th e RMNP investments directly contribute to the NCP by taking concrete ac-tion to connect Canadians safely with nature.

Corrected Price… We have been informed that the numbers published in the December 19th edition regarding the purchase of the zamboni were not correct. Th e total price of the ma-chine (including tax) was $16,392.91. Th e minor hockey board put in $5,000, the commercial league put in $4,000 and the remainder came from the Town’s Arena Reserve. Our apologies for this mix up.

Election date change… Manitoba voters were supposed to be going to the polls this coming October to elect our next term of pro-vincial leaders and I think most were anxious to do so! However, it has been announced that the date of Mani-toba’s next provincial election has been pushed back to April 19th, 2016. Th e apparent reason for this delay is to eliminate any overlap between provincial and federal elections. Guess we are just going to have to wait a little longer for any possible change in provincial leadership.

Change, Change, Change…. Th e new year seems to be starting with a lot of em-ployment opportunities up for grabs here in Minnedosa. Yellowhead Employment Regional Skills and Services is looking for an Employment Service Co-ordinator, Th e Community Development Corporation is looking for an Economic Development Offi cer, Th e Recreation Commis-sion is looking for a Rec Director and here at Ye Old Trib we are regrettably looking for a new reporter/photogra-pher. I am sure there are numerous other positions avail-able as well so there does not seem to be any shortage of employment opportunities available here in our valley.

By ROBERT SOPUCKMP, Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette

The year 2014 has been an incredibly productive year for our Federal Government in Ottawa. Both

nationally and locally, Canadians and residents of Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette have a lot they can be proud of. In February, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty ta-bled a budget that fulfi lled our promise to return to balanced budgets by 2015. Th rough strong, princi-pled, conservative policies, Canada is able to return to balanced budgets on schedule, and we’ve done it without raising taxes or slashing transfer payments to provinces. Tragically, Jim passed away a few months later, but his legacy is clear: he made Canada’s economy the best in the world, the envy of the G7. His steady hands weathered the recession and created over 1.2 million net new jobs, and the overwhelming majority of those jobs are full-time. In May, I was pleased to attend the announce-ment of our Government’s National Conservation Plan with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Th is Plan provides signifi cant federal funding for programs that: conserve Canada’s lands and waters; restore our beautiful and natural ecosystems; and connect Cana-dians to our incredible natural habitat. We have al-ready seen tangible results from this program, such as the Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program. Locally, Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette has seen fi ve federal investments in 2014 under the New Building Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund. Th e federal Government has committed up to $1.4 million: for a new trunk sewer in Neepawa; to up-grade the Hayes Street Pump Station in Swan River; to renew the sewer line on 7th Street in Hamiota; to expand the lagoon in Minitonas; and to expand the Yellowhead regional water system in Westbourne. Over the summer, I accompanied my good friend and local MP Larry Maguire to announce up to $2.9 million in funding for upgrades to the Brandon Air-port. Returning in September, Prime Minister Stephen Harper gave a rousing speech that set the agenda for the coming year. Th e Prime Minister followed up his speech with action for Canadian families: in October he announced the Family Tax Cut, a series of tax cuts

for Canadian families. Starting in 2015 and applicable for your 2014 tax returns, our Government announced that it would: allow income splitting up to a maxi-mum of $2,000 for a couple with a child under age 18; increase the Universal Child Care Benefi t to $160 per month for children under age six; expand the Uni-versal Child Care Benefi t by giving $60 per month to families with children aged six to 17; and increase the Child Care Expense Deduction by $1,000 for the 2015 tax year. We have also announced that we’re doubling the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit to $1,000, and we’re making it refundable. In October, I joined Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and my Conservative Hunting and Angling Caucus colleagues as we applauded the introduc-tion of the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act. Th is legislation proposes to update a number of mea-sures in the Criminal Code and Firearms Act that will reduce red tape while keeping Canada’s streets and communities safe. Th e Liberals and NDP have already pledged to bring back the long-gun registry, demon-strating that we can never become complacent about defending our way of life. By November, Canada’s unemployment rate was 6.5 percent, the lowest rate in over six years (and ex-actly half of what the unemployment rate was under Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau). Th at same month, I tabled a motion in the House of Commons to study further expansions into wireless and broad-band services in rural Canada; and to increase private sector investment in rural wireless services and the relevant technology. Th is will allow our Government to determine the best way forward for bringing more broadband and wireless services into rural communi-ties, especially in Manitoba. Also in November, I was honoured to be asked to accompany Prime Minister Harper and a group of my colleagues to the G20 Summit in New Zealand and Australia. A few weeks later, I tabled a Private Mem-bers’ Bill (C-637) that would amend Canada’s laws to clarify that BB guns and airsoft rifl es should not be considered “fi rearms.” I am proud of our federal government’s invest-ments in Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette, and I look forward to further announcements in the future. 2014 was surely a year to remember, and it reminded me that being a team player and fi erce advocate for rural Manitobans has helped our communities sig-nifi cantly.

Hello, and welcome back to the Cops’ Cor-

ner. Happy New Year to you all and I hope 2015 brings you each more health and happiness. Offi cers con-tinued to work through the holidays, responding to 54 calls for service. Th ese ranged from impaired drivers, fraud, breach of

peace, mental health, ani-mal calls, threats, traffi c collisions, speeders, just to name a few. Recently, people have been scammed while trying to buy the highly sought after Winnipeg Jets Tickets. People are paying over $300 for tickets, and electronically transferring

people money, then the tickets never arrive. If you are not dealing through sites like Ticketmaster, StubHub, or other trust-worthy companies, it is not a great idea to transfer money to people without being able to see the tick-ets in person. When deal-ing with individuals selling tickets you run the risk of being scammed. People make a living by scamming others these days, it’s a sad world at times. It’s always good to deal with people face to face, or go through trustworthy sites. In cer-tain circumstances it can be diffi cult for police to

track down the individuals responsible. A local 19-year-old male was caught right in Minnedosa Town Lim-its for speeding. He was stopped for going 80km/hr in a 50km/hr zone on 9th Avenue S.W. He was handed a ticket worth $442.75. Due to the high amount of walking traf-fi c on this road, as well as deer, it is wise to go the speed limit or even slower. Hopefully a lesson was learned. Have a great start to 2015 and we will see you next time in the Cops’ Corner.

Dear Editor,

I wanted to thank all the volunteers who worked

so hard to make Christ-mas Day special for so many. The Minnedosa Community Christmas Dinner is now an event not to be missed! The beautiful and talented Mistress of Cer-emonies, Barb Hani-shewski, kept us enter-tained with stories and lead us with her lovely voice, singing Christ-mas Carols, while being accompanied on piano by Barry McNabb. The Mayor, Ray Orr, greeted

us at the door. Garry MacDowall gave a lovely prayer of thanksgiving. The dinner was superla-tive, with Anita Holdaway at the helm of an incred-ible team of chefs. All the people volunteering with setup and clean up were such a pleasure. We had just as much fun clean-ing up the dishes as we did filling our gullets! We

were also treated with Chipperfield’s signa-ture coffee - delicious! The Sims family brought along a surprise guest, Santa himself! That jolly fellow even gave me a present! What a surprise! This Christmas I didn’t miss my large fam-ily who live scattered across the continent. There were so many

friends in attendance I never had a chance to get lonely and I also had the pleasure of making some new friends as well. Thank you so much to all the volunteers and the sponsoring businesses who made Christmas Day so special for so many. May God Bless you all.

Sincerely,

Sally Pulford,Minnedosa, MB

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

I take issue with M.P. So-puck in a letter and an

article of December 19th, 2014 in the South Moun-tain Press and other papers where he claims “our Ca-nadian Armed Forces... are instrumental in protect-ing us from the violence of terrible regimes...” and “to please keep them in your prayers...”. Wait a minute. Hold on. Just where exactly are these terrible people attacking our coastlines

or bombing out cities? Sopuck and even Prime Minister Harper are in-fl aming fear where none is deserved. Why is this Conservative M.P. speak-ing fear of some boogy-man, then having the gall to have us please address our military in our prayers. Even the P.M., in his bland Christmas message, asked us to off er prayers to our military. Hold on, again. Since when is the state being paid by taxpayers to off er up religion? Or

prayers? Church and state are to be separate. As head of Canada, Mr. Harper is overstepping his job and stepping into his evangeli-cal church role. Sopuck likewise asks us to pray. On the CBC site on Harper’s Christmas mes-sage comments, I have never seen such a high number of comments (3,000 plus), most all say-ing the P.M. should keep his suggestion of prayer-getting to the public as wrong and not to badger prayers from taxpayers. 23.9% of Canadians de-clare no religious affi lia-tion. Sopuck claims 2014 was an “incredibly pro-ductive year for our federal government, “a lot they can be proud of”. Proud of? Proud of what? Proud of - the $800 million pur-chase by Harper (likely over a billion dollars at fi nal bill) of the US F-35 jet(the so called lemon jet

which could not fl y to a European air show as they were deemed unsafe). Th e purchase of fi ve jets was not announced by Harper, it was buried, having it an-nounced by some US gen-eral in the US. Th e original no-bid contract, the au-ditor general said, was at least $10 billion more than the government admitted. Is this the accountability Harper was boasting of? Harper transparency? Bah humbug. Canada now being the laughing stock of the UN as it sees Canada as a pro war US puppet, a pro war ‘tough guy’. Our gray mum-bling P.M. a war P.M. Oh boy. Selling the Canadian Wheat Board to some grasping US monopoly for pennies on the dollar(that taxpayers paid for). A billion dollars being spent on a new spy palace in Ottawa, when Harper cannot even fi x the roof of

Museum of Science and Technology (oh I forgot Harper hates science). CBC funding being cut to the bone (oh ya, Harper hates to meet the press, he might have to speak with-out a script). Environmental Lakes Area(ELA, a recognized world class water stud-ies area) being closed by Harper. Harper’s hate on for science, again. Harper poking the Russian bear in the Ukraine to aid the US in provoking Putin (or is it just to gain a few votes from Ukrainian Canadians?) On becoming P.M., Harper inherited a funding surplus, only to loose and spent it. (National Debt now at $670,000,000,000. and rising). Sopuck tinkering to have the BB gun taken off the fi rearms list. Wow. Amazing. A productive year for Sopuck indeed. On par with his free ride to the G20 in New Zealand and Australia. No wonder Can-ada has a defi cit. Harper hate on for women? Harper has cut funding for women’s ad-vocacy by 43 percent, shut

down 12 out of 16 Status of Women offi ces in Canada, eliminated funding of legal voices for women and mi-nority groups Mr. Sona, a Conserva-tive hack, who was respon-sible for directing 5,000 Canadians to wrong vot-ing stations. A Harper gov-ernment agent setting up Robo-calls. A criminal act Harper has not faced up to, yet apologized for. Harper has shut down Parliament twice. Once for several months to block an inquiry into Afghan detainees(torture) and to stall government bills, and a second time to avoid a vote of non-confi dence which he was expected to lose. P.M. Harper and M.P. Sopuck deserve from Ca-nadian taxpayers what they deserve this season - a lump of coal. A small one. I hope Canadians see how shallow this govern-ment is. Voting in any oth-er party would be a proper end to Conservatives mis-takes and manipulations in Ottawa.

Sopuck and Harper Get a Lump of Coal

Dear Editor,

In Robert Sopuck’s recent Letter to the Editor, this is what he said,” Farmers, hunters and sport shooters

shouldn’t be treated like criminals just for owning a gun”. Th ere is absolutely no truth to Sopuck’s statement. Th e lack of action by the Harper government does exactly the opposite. Under Harper all gun owners in Canada are potential criminals in waiting. Harper has broken his promise many times to repeal C-68. Other than the long gun registry, C-68 is intact. Harper refuses to decriminalize the possession of fi rearms. Under section 91 and 92 of the Criminal Code, possession of a fi rearm without a valid PAL will land you in court, paying a fi ne, or end up in jail, as well as losing all your fi rearms. If this happens you will have a criminal record and deemed a criminal. Th is is the truth. If Harper really cared about gunowners, he would amend section 91 and 92, decriminalize possession of a fi rearm without a valid PAL from a felon to a misdemean-our, with a reasonable grace period to renew the posses-sion licence. Instead of working to decriminalize the possession of fi rearms, Robert Sopuck parrots the Harper untruths. When will this MP start telling the truth about gun ownership in Canada.

Yours sincerely,

Inky Mark, Dauphin, MB

After travelling to Winnipeg for a tournament, Minnedosa’s U15 indoor girls’ soccer team brought

home a little post-Christmas gold. Th irteen players, team manager Genelle Bilcowski and coaches, Barry Dowsett and Chris Yuen travelled to the University of Manitoba to participate in an indoor soccer tournament on December 27th to 29th. Undefeated in the initial round robin, Minnedosa proceeded to the fi nals with a 3-0 record. Minnedosa met the Corydon Comets in the fi nal, claiming the gold medal with a dominate 4-0 win. “In the fi nal game the girls scored two quick goals, which really motivated them and took the wind out of the other team for sure,” commented Dowsett. Th e girls began practicing together every Wednesday at the beginning of November. Th ey will return to Win-nipeg on February 13th to 16th where they will be broken into two teams for a 6 vs. 6 tournament.

2015 is starting out to be a busy year! However, I would like to start by re-fl ecting on 2014. Minnedosa and Dis-trict Services to Seniors has been through some positive growing steps. In late June, our offi ce was relocated to the 50+ Ac-tivity Centre at 31 Main Street S. Th is has been very positive. Our door is open fi ve days a week and I have had the pleasure of helping and meeting many seniors. Jan Macey has joined me in the offi ce on a casual basis and we look forward to providing resources and assistance to seniors in Minnedosa and area. Victoria Lifeline con-tinues to be a well-used resource. Our client list sits at an average of sixty clients per month. Lifeline is so important and off ers peace of mind not only to the subscriber but also to family members who

care about the safety of their senior friend or fam-ily member. Th e service is available in Minnedosa, R.M. of Minto-Odanah and area. As long as you have MTS service to your home, Lifeline may be in-stalled. At this time, un-fortunately, Lifeline can-not be installed with only cell phone service. If you are interested in Lifeline, please call our offi ce or stop in for information. Last fall I organized the ‘Be A Santa To A Senior’ program and it was a huge success. Th is program has operated in Winnipeg for a few years and bringing it to Minnedosa was the fi rst time the program has op-erated outside of the city. Th e generosity of those who came and chose an ornament was wonder-ful. Seeing the reactions of those who received the gifts, was beyond words. Th e program will be back in the fall of 2015! Seniors have gath-ered at the 50+ Centre to enjoy a time of friend-

ship and fun while play-ing games with a group of grade 5/6 students. I hope to plan sessions with the students who belong to C.H.A.N.G.E. Th is group of high school students has off ered to come and help seniors with the world of technology. Any seniors who may be interested in getting some help with us-ing their computer, laptop, iphone, etc. please call me. Th e Westman Games are coming up again and there are tournaments coming up for 500, Whist, Cribbage, Spades and more. I have the schedule in the offi ce. Th e regular activities continue at the 50+ Cen-tre. Stop by and pick up a calendar, then come and join us. Th e Centre is open to all seniors. If you have an idea for an activity, speaker or pre-sentation, or if you would like to come and lead an activity, please call me. Th is Centre is here to pro-vide an opportunity for friendship and fun!

On December 20th, the Minnedosa Bomb-

ers hosted the defending league champions, the Miniota/Elkhorn C-Hawks. Th e Bomber’s Derek Cameron opened the scor-ing in the fi rst against the C-Hawks, assisted by Tra-vis Erickson and Brandon Taylor. Th e C-Hawks an-swered the goal half-way through the period to earn a short-lived tie. Bomber’s Sean Smith scored, assisted by Wy-att Rapsky and Taylor and Matt Saler claimed another with less than two minutes left in the fi rst, assisted by Wes Lewis and Russ Hu-gyhe. Bombers ended the fi rst period 3-1. Th e C-Hawks con-

trolled most of the second and third periods, claim-ing two unanswered goals, forcing overtime. After fi ve scoreless minutes the game was tak-en to a shootout that saw Th e Bombers come out victorious after Cody Pol-lon stopped both Miniota/Elkhorn shooters and Tra-vis Erickson and Michael Birch scored for Minnedo-sa, claiming the 4-3 win. On December 28th the Bombers travelled to Mc-Creary to take on the Mus-tangs. McCreary claimed the opening goal in the fi rst fi ve minutes of the fi rst pe-riod for a short-lived lead before the Bombers retali-ated with 15 goals. Matt Saler claimed three goals and three as-sists, Russ Hugyhe earned

one goal and four assists, Shane Jury scored two along with two assists, Brad Lewis had one goal and three assists, and Wy-att Rapsky contributed with four assists. Brendon Taylor scored one and assisted on two, James McCarville earned three assists, Derek Cam-eron chalked up two goals, Wes Lewis assisted two goals and both Brett McNabb and Shane Cam-eron earned an assist. In his debut game, Eli Halcrow put on an impres-sive performance scoring fi ve goals and two assists.

the scoring in the fi rst with a goal by Wes Lewis, assist-ed by Matt Saler and Shane Jury, followed by another Bomber goal courtesy of Brad Wilson, assisted by Saler and Russ Hugyhe.

Before the end of the fi rst Th e Bombers claimed two more goals by Mi-chael Nicholson, assisted by Michael Birch and Brett McNabb and Derek Cam-eron, assisted by Russ Hu-gyhe and Brandon Taylor, bringing the score at the end of the fi rst to 5-1 for Th e Bombers.

In the third, Russ Hugyhe scored an unas-sisted goal a little over fi ve minutes into the period. Grandview was able to earn two more goals in the third bringing the score to 7-5 before Hugyhe scored another with just 55 sec-onds remaining in the game, assisted by Michael Birch and Shane Jury. Minnedosa defeat-ed the Comets 8-5, a big win for Th e Bombers and handing the Grandview Comets their fi rst loss of the season. Th e game was certain-ly a physical one with offi -

cials handing out 110 pen-alty minutes between the teams. Cody Pollon was clutch between the pipes with 34 saves. Th e Bombers are cur-rently rolling on a six-game winning streak that they will look to continue when they face off versus Shoal Lake.

Senior Bombers Currently in Third Place

Bantams

By CRISSY KOWAL

Two road games started off the Christmas Break

for Th e Bantams as they travelled North to Gilbert

Plains on December 20th and Winnipegosis the 21st. A fast paced game vs Grand Plains saw Th e Bombers dominate for three full pe-riods, keeping the opposi-tion off the scoreboard with some fantastic off ensive

and defensive play. Even a six on three advantage for the hosts with well over a minute left to play didn’t slow them down as they popped in an empty net goal and left town with a 3-0 victory. Zane MacDon-ald 1G,1A; Matthew Kowal 1G; Nathan Dornn 1G. A well deserved shut-out for Brad Letain who stood strong between the pipes. A close game to follow Sunday in Winnipegosis as the two teams battled it out on the ice. Minnedosa opened up the scoring in the fi rst period and then the teams traded goals fi nding themselves tied at three apiece with only fi ve minutes left to play. Shortly after Winnipegosis scored the go ahead goal and then sealed the game on a power play as the puck found the back of the net one more time ending the game with a fi nal score of 5-3. Ri-ley Barrett 1G,1A; Nathan Dornn 1G,1A; Zane Mac-Donald 1G; single assists to Matthew Kowal and Curtis

Gamey. An excellent per-formance by Jayden Mor-rice in net giving his team a great chance for a win. Th e Bombers fi rst game of 2015 found them on the road again to Fox-warren on January 3rd. A slow start for the team after a two-week break as they found themselves down by four after only one period. Minnedosa found their legs in the third, keeping the play in Foxwarren’s end for most of the period. Th ey were unable to fi nd the back of the net on a few good chances until Riley Barrett broke the shut-out with just over a minute left to play. Final score 6-1. Good eff ort by Brad Letain in net. Th e two teams would meet again in Minnedosa on January 4th for what turned out to be a very close game. Minnedosa opened up the scoring early in the fi rst with Fox-warren tying things up just over a minute later. Both teams continued to hit

the mark and Minnedosa entered the fi nal frame with a one goal lead. Five minutes in Foxwarren tied things up and both sides battled it out for the go ahead goal which unfor-tunately was scored at the 1:57 mark by the visiting team. Unable to fi nd the equalizer Minnedosa suf-fered their fi rst home loss of 2015 by a score of 5-4. Riley Barrett 2G,1A; Zane MacDonald 1G,1A; Colin Robinson 1G; Austin Hall 1A; A great game for Brad Letain who played strong in his crease. Th e Bantams will be taking part in the Tour-nament of Champions tournament being held in Souris this weekend. Good luck Bombers!

Minnedosa-born ath-lete, Isabela Onysh-

ko was recently acknowl-edged by Th e Brandon Sun for her impressive year of breaking into the interna-tional world of competitive gymnastics. Sixteen-year-old On-yshko was recently award-ed the H.L. (Krug) Craw-ford Memorial Award from Th e Brandon Sun for her contribution to sporting excellence in southwest-ern Manitoba. As a member of the Brandon Eagles Gymnas-tics Centre, Onyshko’s past year-and-a-half has cer-tainly been a thing of ex-cellence. In 2013, Onyshko made the Canadian junior team and competed in her fi rst international event in Marseille, France in No-vember. From there she ad-vanced to the senior na-tional team and fi nished

in sixth place at the Elite Canada meet in February of 2014. Next, Onyshko went on to compete at the Ca-nadian championship in Ottawa, earning all-around silver, silver on the fl oor and gold in the beam event. After impressing on home soil, Onyshko pro-ceeded to collect badges in her passport and a few more trips to the podium. At World Cup events in Doha, Qatar and Osijek, Croatia, Onyshko earned a pair of medals that gar-nered her spot on Canada’s team for the further world championships. As the youngest mem-ber of the Canadian team, Onyshko placed seventh all-around, seventh on beam and contributed to team Canada’s fourth place fi nish in the team event. Onyshko’s fi nal event of 2014 landed her in Nan-ning, China at the Gym-

nastic World Champion-ships. On her biggest stage yet, Onyshko fi nished 29th out of 250 gymnasts in the qualifi cation round, just short of advancing to the fi nals. Onyshko’s head coach, Lorrie Henderson was also honoured this year with an induction into the Mani-toba Sports Hall of Fame for her long-time commit-ment and many contri-butions to sport through coaching. Moving forward into the New Year, Onyshko plans to press forward with her training, focus-ing on the goal of earning a spot at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Canada’s senior women’s team will need to have a successful showing and earn at least an eighth place finish at the world championship in order to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This year, Minnedosa’s most-loved annual

pond hockey tournament will be taking part in a province-wide hockey cel-ebration. “In addition to our ninth annual two-day pond hockey tournament, we are proud to have been selected as “a host site for Hockey Manitoba’s 100th Anniversary Out-door Series,” explained event co-ordinator, Tanis Barrett. Th is hockey season marks Hockey Manitoba’s 100th Anniversary and as part of the celebration an Outdoor Series will be held in over 35 communities spanning the province. “As part of this 100th Anniversary Celebration, there will be special activi-ties at the site throughout Skate the Lake weekend. Th is will include prizes and draws as well as mer-chandise available for

purchase. Minor hockey teams from around Mani-toba “that registered for the Outdoor Series will also be coming to Minnedosa to participate,” continued Barrett. Th e Outdoor Series was scheduled by Hockey Manitoba for February 15th, in perfect timing with Minnedosa’s annual Skate the Lake event, which is held every year on Febru-ary 14th and 15th. “Th e pinnacle of Hock-ey Manitoba’s Outdoor Se-ries events in Minnedosa will be eight, black vs. gold games featuring Outdoor Series Teams at noon on Sunday. Th is is a great op-portunity for our hockey community and our com-munity at-large to get in-volved in the celebration.” Over 300 teams and 4,000 players will take part in the Outdoor Se-ries games, each matchup being broken down into black and gold teams. At the end of the celebration,

scores from throughout the province will be tallied to determine a winner be-tween black and gold. As an Outdoor Series host site, Minnedosa is po-tentially eligible to receive one-of-five Scotiabank $5,000 awards. “Host site participants from across the province will compete for these awards. Communities will be judged based on how they celebrate during the 100th Anniversary Out-door weekend,” explained Barrett. Skate the Lake has been held annually for the past nine years on the nat-ural setting of Minnedosa Lake, which provides a venue that exceeds any other for an event of this nature. Leading up to the tournament weekend, the Town of Minnedosa will prepare a number of ice surfaces on Minnedosa Lake for the event. “Our 2014 tourna-ment was full with teams on the waiting list, so we have asked the Town of Minnedosa to add two

more sheets of ice, for a total of eight rinks,” ex-plained Barrett. “Based on early registrations for both lo-cal hockey players and from out-of-town teams we anticipate that all of the divisions—ladies, men and youth—will fi ll up fast again this year.”

Th e non-profi t, vol-unteer-run event is set with a four-on-four format with no contact, customized nets instead of goalies and special rules to ensure safety and fair play. “Meagan Smith and Kiersten McNabb have stepped up to champion the building of the ladies

division and have secured four teams already.” Skate the Lake will also feature a Team Spirit Award. Initially brought forward last year, the committee has decided to bring the award back again this year. Last year’s winners were the “Pretty Young Th ings” in the ladies division with their matching camo out-fi ts. Th e deadline for play-er registration is Febru-ary 1st. As well, this year the organizing committee is looking for community volunteers to help supple-ment minor hockey family volunteers. “We are particularly looking for help during the busy times, Saturday, Feb-ruary 14th from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Febru-ary 15th from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.” Please contact Tanis Barrett at 204-867-1942 if you would like more infor-mation on registration or are interested in helping out with the event.

Erickson Collegiate student and former

Minnedosa Chancellor athlete, Mallory Workman was recently selected to play on a national rugby team. Workman was select-ed by the Dog River Howl-ers, a national rugby team that was founded in 2007 and is made up of players for all parts of Canada. Based out of Dog Riv-er, SK, the team tours dif-ferent parts of the world, playing rugby and taking in unique cultural experi-ences. “Th e Howler’s alumni list is full of national level players. I was the only player from Manitoba that made the Howlers’ roster for this tour,” explained

Workman. Workman has been involved with rugby for a number of years, previ-ously playing at the U-18 Rugby Nationals in Cal-gary in the summer of 2014, the Prairie Regional Tournament in Regina and in the spring, played with the Minnedosa Chancel-lors in the Westman High School Rugby League. “I am very thankful for all of the guidance and support I have received at the school, division-al, league and provincial level. Gavin Roche, Kat Muirhead, Brian Yon and Shawn Sarkonak are a few of the many people that I feel have gone above and beyond to help elevate my skills, knowledge and love of the game,” continued Workman.

Th e Dog River Howl-ers are an invitational only team, meaning cur-rent Howler players must nominate candidates who are accomplished rugby players but also exemplify qualities of leadership, teamwork, selfl essness and community spirit. F r o m D e c e m b e r 14th to December 22nd, Workman travelled with the Howlers to Medellin, Colombia for the second Howlers tour. Th irty-two U-18 play-ers, 12 women and 20 men, along with 22 coach-es, management and par-ents travelled to Colom-bia to play against local teams, take in the culture and spend some time giv-ing back to the local com-munity. “Some really mean-

ingful memories were made when we got to spend time with the lo-cal children in the barri-os. Giving out the gear that we collected and brought with us was priceless. Sharing adventures with the other Howlers around our neighbourhood and on our various excursions will stay with me forever,” added Workman. Workman is also slat-ed to play in a three-day international sevens rug-by tournament that will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada this February.

We were saddened to hear of the death of

Gary Everatt of Oak Lake on December 15th with the funeral being held on December 20th. He leaves to mourn his wife Linda, son Darren of Brandon and daughter Tracey of Winnipeg. Gary was the Royal Bank manager in Newdale for several years. Congratulations to Ruby Reid who was a lucky $1,000 winner in the Dau-phin Kings Tractor Lottery. Congratulations to Strathclair School stu-

dents Jorja Pedersen, Brook Watson and Mi-chaela Kryshewsky, who were all recent winners in the Zone 25 Legion Poem, Poster and Essay Contest. Well done! We send birthday wishes out to Marge Os-borne who celebrated with family on December 28th. We wish you many more Marge. Eva Merry left on De-cember 20th to spend Christmas with her daughter Janice and fam-ily in Winnipeg. Hilda Davies has ar-rived home after spend-

ing three weeks over Christmas with Doris and Dwayne Waddell and fam-ily in Missaussaga, ON. Gordon and Enid Clark along with Dave and family spent Christ-mas Day at Donna and Brian Scott’s in Neepawa. Th e kids and grandkids all curled in the Neepawa Boxing Day Bonspiel on December 26th. Unfortu-nately, no winners! A large crowd gath-ered at the Newdale United Church for the Christmas Eve service where Helen Caird and Eric Lamb led the children in the story

of the birth of Jesus. In the specially decorated church, the laying of the Baby Jesus in the man-ger was heralded by the arrival of the angels and shepherds. Following the story, all the children sang Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus and sent balloons fl oating in the air. Favou-rite Christmas carols were sung with Carol Dalgarno on the organ and Doreen Stapleton on piano. A duet by Bruce Dalgarno and Garry Stapleton brought the service to the candle lighting. Candles were lit, lights were dimmed and

the service closed with the singing of Silent Night. A beautiful reminder of what the season is all about. A hearty pot-luck supper fol-lowed on a warm Christ-mas Eve night! Shirley Pederson cele-brated Christmas with son Del and Kim. Kim’s daugh-ters, Katelyn and Julia Or-mond, her mother Carol Vint and her sister Kathy with husband Jim and sons Robert and Steven Tomlinson of Minnedosa attended. Other guests for the day were Bill Sch-nell and Mitch Hengen. Shirley spent New Year’s

in Brandon with her sister Bernice and Art Atkinson and family. Our community was shocked to hear of the un-timely death of Rosemary Norwood in England on January 3rd. Rosemary and husband Phillip farmed south of town be-fore moving back to Eng-land in April 2010. She had been fi ghting cancer since last spring. Rose-mary sang with the Din-ner Chorus, belonged to the Curling Club and was very community oriented. Our sympathy to Phillip and his family

NEWDALE NEWS

According to the Ameri-can Heritage Diction-

ary the phrase “waste not, want not” was fi rst record-ed in 1772, but was de-rived from an earlier ver-sion: “willful waste makes

woeful want” recorded in 1576. In today’s world of credit cards, debit cards, and lines of credit, these terms take on a whole new urgency as bills roll in from our holiday spend-

ing sprees. One of the most easily infl uenced home ex-penses is our food budgets and a few tips in reducing food waste, and thus sav-ing money, is most appro-priate in a January food column. What if I told you that you could have free veg-etable broth? Currently whenever you work with vegetables (onions, car-rots, celery, etc.), the end trimmings are going into the compost, garburator or garbage. Dedicate a large food storage bag in the freezer for these end cuts and peelings instead, and keep adding to this fro-

zen mix until the bag is full. Empty the contents into a large pot, cover with cold water to the top of the veg-etables, bring to a boil, and then turn the heat to low and simmer for one hour uncovered. Strain and season to taste with salt and pepper and you have vegetable stock from in-gredients that would have previously been discarded. A great addition to this bag would be fresh herb stems. Th ere is a ton of fl avour in the inedible woody stems that will create complexity in your homemade vegeta-ble stock. Make a soup from

scratch with your broth, or pour it into ice cube trays and create a second freez-er bag of cubed stock: this is perfect when you need a small amount of broth to make or fi nish a sauce. Th e rinds from hard cheeses also tend to see the garbage bin as their demise, but they can, however, bring extra es-sence to soups. For ex-ample, whenever making Minestrone (Italian vege-table soup) we always toss a chunk of parmesan rind into the broth. At the end of the cooking process, the rind is simply removed and discarded. Leftover bacon fat, although not particularly healthy, can also be put to use in the kitchen. Mod-eration of this integrated into your diet needs to be practiced here, but on occasion a warm ba-con dressing on spinach greens is amazingly deli-cious. Add the following to the rendered bacon fat

from a half pound (227g) of bacon, but make sure that the bacon fat is not too hot or the fat will splat-ter when you add these in-gredients: 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syr-up, 2 teaspoons Dijon or grainy mustard, one half teaspoon dried thyme leaves, and a sprinkle of fresh cracked pepper. Heat over medium heat, while stirring together, until very warm, and then serve immediately. Basically what I want you to become is a con-scientious cook. Pay at-tention to everything that is being discarded in the kitchen and attempt to fi nd new and innovative uses for them. Th e inter-net makes a great resource when investigating ideas and answers any ques-tions you may have about food safety, which also needs to be emphasized here. Happy new year to you... and happy cooking!

The interest in growing more heat sensitive

crops such as soybeans has created some renewed interest in the concept of “Strip Tillage”. Strip tillage creates a tilled six to eight inch wide cultivated seed-bed between undisturbed crop residues. Th e soil in this region is allowed to warm up faster allowing for earlier planting and protection of the emerging crop from spring frosts.

In most instances fer-tilizer is banded in the fall using strip tillage and then in the spring these same strips are seeded in the ex-act same blackened strips using a precision guid-ance system. Th is seeding method has been utilized primarily for the seeding of corn and soybeans in the US mid west and On-tario however this seeding method would be applica-ble to much of Manitoba but especially in Parkland soils where producers can

benefi t from earlier seed-ing, warmer soils and the reduced threat of spring frosts. Strip tillage is not al-together a new concept in Parkland regions. Many producers will recall the Concord Air Seeder of the early 1990’s where “ribbon seeding” was being advo-cated as a means of plac-ing the seed into a four to fi ve inch band of black-ened soil. Th is blackened soil provided an ideal en-vironment for soil warm-ing and protection from late spring frosts to sensi-tive crops such as canola and fl ax. Th e Concord Air Seeder had openers on 12 inch spacing equipped with an opener that spread the seed and starter fertil-izer over the four to fi ve inch cut leaving the row spacing between plants

of six to eight inches. Th is blackened area was then on row packed using tires where air pressure could be adjusted to vary pack-ing pressure. Th e seeding system worked well and indeed provided for warmer spring soils however the system was limited in the amount of fertilizer that could be put down with the seed resulting in the necessity of a two pass system in order to get suf-fi cient nitrogen placed for the growing crop. Th e ne-cessity of two passes also created excessive tillage negating many of the ad-vantages of direct seeding. Guidance seeding systems where seed can be placed in the exact location of the fall fertilizer band would have certainly made this seeding system more vi-able at the time. Th e advantages of strip tillage in Parkland soils would be refl ected in both earlier seeding dates and crops which are quicker to emerge and are better able to tolerate spring frosts. Crops established sooner would take ad-vantage of the longer day lengths in early summer, fl ower prior to the exces-

sive heat in mid-summer, allow for better seed set and mature prior to an early fall frost. Strip till-age would allow for higher heat unit crops such as soybeans to be grown al-lowing for some much needed crop diversity for producers in Parkland re-gions. Although much of the interest and research to date regarding strip till-age has been in row crops the greater potential may very well be in its use in Parkland regions. Th e Manitoba Pulse Growers Association is now fund-ing research into various tillage types including strip tillage so stay tuned for some results going into the 2015 growing season.

Winter Wheat and Recent Cold

Temperatures

Th e recent cold snaps experienced in mid De-cember and then again earlier this week has re-sulted in some producer inquiries as to what was happening with soil tem-peratures and what aff ect these temperatures might have on fall seeded crops. Real time soil temper-ature probes that measure

and relay soil tempera-tures hourly placed this fall in South Parkland at depths of one to one-and-a-half inches saw soil tem-peratures reach -15 de-grees Celsius earlier this week. Th ese temperatures represented new lows for this winter but are still above levels which would cause signifi cant injury to well established winter wheat crops. Th ese new low temperatures are for-tunately also coinciding with the period in which most winter cereals are experiencing their maxi-mum cold hardiness. Most winter wheat plants for example would require soil temperatures in the -18 to -22 degrees Celsius range before we would begin to see some signifi cant plant mortal-ity. Hopefully recent snow falls will further help in-sulate soil temperatures from any future severe cold events.

MARION DIACHINSKYDECEMBER 9TH, 1923

– DECEMBER 13TH, 2014

Marion Diachinsky of Erickson and formerly of Sandy Lake passed away at the Erickson Personal Care Home at the age of 91 years. Marion was the second oldest child of William and Pauline Gregorash in Mossy River, Manitoba. Her older brother Jack died in infancy, and her three younger siblings, Helen, Willis and Frank have all predeceased her. Marion spent much of her childhood caring for her younger siblings and helping her parents on the farm. She took her responsibilities very seriously then, and continued to do so throughout her whole life. Marion spent her life working very hard, even as a young girl. In her early teens, she went to work on a farm in southern Manitoba, caring for the children and serving as the kitchen helper. She always worked at one job or another, and spent many years working in Neepawa, rooming with her cousin Mary. She worked as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant and then as a clerk at the bus depot in Neepawa. She also worked at several businesses in Sandy Lake, before marrying Harry Diachinsky on February 8th, 1964. Her marriage to Harry was the beginning of the happiest years of Marion’s life. Harry was her rock and together they worked hard to make the Diachinsky farm a success. Marion was an avid gardener, even after she and Harry retired. Th eir lovely fl ower garden in Sandy Lake won several awards from the Communities in Bloom Association, and many friends and neighbours shared in the bounty from their vegetable gardens. Th e funeral service was held on Monday, December 22nd, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. at the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church, Sandy Lake. Prayers were said at the church Sunday evening at 7:00 p.m. Interment followed in the parish cemetery. Father Emil Kardasinec offi ciated. Pallbearers were Raymond Zachary, Rick Richard, Peter Dmytriw, Leonard Gregorash, Tim Spaller and Murray Zuk. Crossbearers were Caitlynn Dmytriw and Dylan Dmytriw. Th e eulogy was given by Marion’s niece Donna Chaytors. Rae’s Funeral Service of Shoal Lake and Erickson were in care of the arrangements.

WALTER WASYLENKOMAY 28TH, 1933

– DECEMBER 19TH, 2014

Peacefully, Walter Wasylenko passed away at the age of 81 years. He was predeceased by his wife Lesia (Kowal), parents Fred and Annie Wasylenko, brother Steve, brother-in-law Mel Borody and his dogs and best friends, King, Prince and Benny. He is survived by his sister Audrey Borody. Left to cherish his

memory is his son Darrell, daughter Debbie (Dennis), son Dwayne (Tricia) and grandchildren Curtis, Pamela (Graham),

Marisa, Kayanna, Amelia and great grandchild Gwyneth. Walter was born and raised on the family farm in Sandy Lake, MB. He began helping with the farming at an early age but decided to venture beyond and was employed with Canadian Pacifi c Railway as a switchman, a salesman for Rogers Fruit and was assigned produce manager for Canada Safeway. However, he had to decline the position and return to the farm as his father took ill. Walter eventually took over the family farm, growing cereal crops and raising cattle. Walter married Lesia Kowal on August 7th, 1958. Th ey had three children Darrell, Debbie and Dwayne. Tragically, on January 31st, 1969, Lesia lost her life in an automobile accident. Walter then took on the responsibility of full time farming and raising three young children. Along with farming and raising the children he also served on the Local Farm Union, Board of Directors of Sandy Lake Co-op and was a school trustee for Rolling River School Division from 1973 – 1983. Walter continued to farm as years went by and the children moved away. Dwayne returned to help with the farming and continued to help as Walter’s health declined. Education and family experiences were important to Walter. He took the family to Expo in Montreal, Banff , Alberta and many camping stops throughout the states on the journey to Disney Land, California. Walter had a love for animals. Th e farm yard always had cats and dogs. His cattle were thought of as family. It was a diffi cult time for him when he realized he could no longer oversee his large herd and needed to sell. Over the years his dogs were his constant companions. Th ey enjoyed many trips to Clear Lake where they were treated to an ice cream cone. Walter enjoyed sitting in the comfort of his armchair, t.v. on and his dog lying next to him. Th ose who truly knew Walter, knew there was a kind, generous heart under that rough exterior. He had a keen sense of humour and enjoyed “teasing’ everyone he met. Th e funeral service was held on Tuesday, December 30th, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Michael’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Sandy Lake, with interment following in the Sandy Lake Municipal Cemetery. Prayers were said from the church Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. Father Michael Skrumeda offi ciated. Pallbearers were: Dennis Spitula, Graham Fediuk, Emil Kowal, Walter Spitula, John Kopytko and Kevin Fiarchuk. Cross bearer was Orest Shindruk. In lieu of fl owers, if friends so desire, a memorial gift may be made to Heart and Stoke Foundation of Manitoba or Manitoba Lung Association. Rae’s Funeral Service of Shoal Lake and Erickson were in care of the arrangements.
