R
olling River School Division presented its 2014/2015
budget to the public in recent weeks, proposing a
modest increase.
Te Division focused much of its budget priorities on
maintaining quality educational programs that develop
21st century learning skills for all students in a safe and
positive environment.
After careful review of its programs, staf , technology
needs, building maintenance, transportation, vehicles,
and the school bus replacement plan, the Division trust-
ees proposed a budget with a 3.5 percent increase in the
Special Levy, an 18.6 percent increase in the Portioned As-
sessment and a 12.5 percent decrease in the Mill Rate.
Eighty percent of the budget goes into staf ng, and
ten percent into fxed costs. Te board has done a great job
with the budget that they have the ability to alter. We have
seen a moderate increase in the budget without sufering
on our initiatives, said Reg Klassen, Rolling River School
Division Superintendant.
Te division has labeled its top priorities to be excel-
lence in education, creating a sustainable future, healthy
living and community partnership.
Te budget outlines a number of increases to come,
including an additional ten hours a week in Education As-
sistance support for students, a 2.6 percent increase in full-
time teachers and clinicians as well as a continued focus in
upgrading the Divisions technology.

tions and safety improve-
ments that include replac-
ing the walkway, creating
a working platform toward

C
entral Plains Cancer Care is preparing for its an-
nual campaign in April.
As many of you know, the funding received from
canvassing stays local, with a large portion going
towards the much needed transportation to Winni-
peg or Brandon for cancer treatment. None of this
fundraising would be possible without valuable vol-
unteers. Recent years have shown a decline in vol-
unteers and the valuable services provided by CPCC
risk being terminated without your help.
If you feel you could be of help in any capacity,
from canvassing on your street ot calling recruits,
please call Myrna Charles at 204-867-5717. Tis is a
great way to meet people in your community as well
as helping those that desperately need these services.

A
fter hosting a suc-
cessful open house in
Minnedosa, the Canadian
Cancer Society is going
ahead with plans to host
a local Relay for Life event
this summer.
We were very pleas-
antly surprised by the
turnout we had at our
open house, said Lindsay
Cowling, fundraising co-
ordinator with the Mani-
toba division of the Cana-
dian Cancer Society. Te
group that stopped in was
fairly small, but extremely
enthusiastic. Tey were an
awesome group of people
that will certainly contrib-
ute to an exciting event.
Relay for Life is an
overnight fundraising
event where friends and
family get together to cel-
ebrate cancer survivors,
remember loved ones that
have been lost to cancer
and fght back in the hope
for fnding a cure.
T e 12-hour event
is usually held at a local
track, stadium or sports
feld and sees teams of 10
to 15 people take turns
walking laps all night. Te
event is meant to honour
and symbolize cancer pa-
tients journey and how
cancer never sleeps.
Relay for Life was
frst held in 1999. In 2013,
16,224 teams across Can-
ada raised $46.5 million
dollars. Donations col-
lected by the participants
are directed towards can-
cer research, advocating
policies that promote and
protect health and ofer
services and support to
those living with cancer.
Along with the fund-
raising aspect of the event,
organizers say that it is
just as much a celebration
for those who have been
afected or survived a bat-
tle with cancer.
Many of the celebra-
tions and ceremonies that
we hold during the Relay
for Life event surround
cancer survivors, contin-
ued Cowling. We want to
celebrate all of the strug-
gles that they have over-
come and so we strongly
encourage anyone in the
community that is a can-
cer survivor or even a
caregiver to get involved.
Te Relay for Life,
though in its initial plan-
ning stages, is scheduled
for July 5th and will be
held at the Rockin the
Fields site.
Te site for the event
was graciously donated
by the Rockin the Fields
group as well as Ted and
Diane Clark.
In the coming weeks
the Cancer Society will
be scheduling a meeting
with the committee that
was assembled at the re-
cent open house in order
to move forward with ar-
rangements.
Organizers will deter-
mine where they will be
needing volunteers, orga-
nizing team kits as well as
begin the process of en-
gaging teams to sign up.
The next big thing
will be finding teams to
participate. We are hop-
ing to get quite a few from
town involved as well as
hopefully draw out par-
ticipants from the sur-
rounding areas around
Minnedosa, added Cowl-
ing.
At present, organizers
are not too sure how many
volunteers they require at
this time as it is partially
dependant on the types
of ceremonies that they
community would like to
include in the event.
Anyone interested
in volunteering and par-
ticipating in the event can
certainly do both. You
dont have to choose one
or the other. We are very
supportive of our volun-
teers and would love for
them to participate at the
same time, explained
Cowling.
We will be planning
another meeting in the
community in the coming
weeks to nail down a few
more details and everyone
is encouraged to come and
get involved in whatever
capacity they wish.
Cancer has undoubt-
edly impacted all of us
whether it is directly or
through a family member
or friend. Relay for Life is
a great way to show your
support, encourage and
recognize those who have
had to face the treacher-
ous disease, won the bat-
tle as well as honour those
who have passed.

tion feel free to contact

T
he Minnedosa Legion
General Hugh Dyer
Branch #138 announced
the winners of its annual
poster and essay contest at
Tanners Crossing School
on February 28th.
Students gathered to-
gether in the schools pit
area where Legion mem-
bers presented the win-
ners with certifcates to
acknowledge their accom-
plishment.
We were just so im-
pressed with the responce
from these students. We
had 193 entries this year,
just from our Minnedosa
schools, said Dorothy
Jones, branch secretary.
Te Royal Canadian
Legion poster and essay
has been held in Canada
for over 50 years and is
open to all students within
the Canadian school sys-
tem. Te goal of the contest
is to foster the tradition of
remembrance amongst Ca-
nadians.
Every year around Re-
membrance Day, students
are encouraged to partici-
pate in the contest creat-
ing a colour or black and
white poster, essay or poem
which refects remem-
brance with a Canadian
theme.
Literary entries are
marked on the basis of orig-
inality of thought, expres-
sion, presentation, gram-
mar, spelling and Canadian
content.
Te contest is broken
down into age group cat-
egories, grouping students
from Kindergarten to grade
three, grades four to six,
grades seven to nine and
grades ten to twelve.
Te initial judging for
the contest takes place
at the community level
through volunteers at the
local legion. Te top pieces
then move forward to the
provincial level and if se-
lected from there are sent
to Ottawa where a national
winner is selected.
First place entries for
the four categories from
each division are displayed
at the Canadian War Mu-
seum from June to May the
following year. As well, the
names and work of the win-
ners is published in a book-
let and dispersed at legion
branches across Canada.
Entries winning sec-
ond place and those who
receive an honourable
mention are displayed in
the foyer of the Parliament
Building during the annual
Remembrance Day period
in November.
Te Legion also spon-
sors a trip to Ottawa for the
senior winners in all four
divisions where the lucky
few attend the national
Remembrance Day cer-
emony, place a wreath on
behalf of the youth of Can-
ada as well as get the op-
portunity to meet and visit
with the Governor General.
National prizes also come
with cash awards.
Tis was the frst year
that we had opened the
contest up to some of the
younger grade levels and
the response was great. We
even have our very frst stu-
dent who has placed frst
at the provincial level. Tis
entry will be forwarded to
the Dominion Level for
judging, boasted Jones.
Jillian Waskul was se-
lected as a Provincial win-
ner for her black and white
poster in the Kindergarten
to grade three age group.
Her submission will be sent
on to Ottawa for judging in
the next couple of weeks.

Spring ahead
Tis Sunday, March 9th, we move our clocks ahead
one hour to welcome back Daylight Saving Time. Te
of cial time change occurs at 2 a.m. While turning
our clocks forward, St. John Ambulance reminds us
that this is also a good time to check the batteries in
our smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
Smoke alarms have an average lifetime of ten years
but the batteries that power them should be checked
at least once a year. While you are at it, you might as
well also check your frst aid kits and make sure they
are fully stocked and updated if needed in the event of
an emergency.
Grade 11s go to work
On Monday and Tuesday next week, the Grade 11
students from MCI will be heading to work to explore
future career possibilities. Tis year, there are just over
50 students participating in the Career preparation
and Exploration days. Careers being explored include
such things as mechanics, culinary arts, nursing, ani-
mal health, speech therapists, fnancial and account-
ing, welders, painters and conservation. Te Tribune
will welcome a student journalist for the two-day pe-
riod and you never know she may be a future publish-
er after all that is how I got started with Te Tribune
back in 1996 as a career preparation student!
Wheres the bins?
You may have noticed the recycling bins have been
removed from your local Post Of ce. Canada Post is try-
ing to encourage people to take ALL of their mail home
rather than throw out unwanted fyers and free distri-
bution newspapers before leaving the building. From
what Ive seen, all it has really done is left a mess for staf
to clean up with people leaving their unwanted mail on
the counter at the Post Of ce. As a paid circulation, sub-
scription based newspaper Te Tribune does not have
to worry about a bunch of our newspapers ending up in
the recycling bin before leaving the Post Of ce. Just an-
other beneft to the time honoured tradition of having a
subscription based, user pay newspaper!

I
n seven months, Manitobans will be headed to the
polls to elect their next Municipal Council. Tis
years election will be held on October 22nd. With the
election coming up it is time for citizens to begin think-
ing about putting their name forward as a candidate for
a municipal council position.
Our elected of cials are regular human beings, just
like you and I. Tey have no special superpowers and
they cannot change the world in the blink of an eye. Tey
are sons and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers
and mothers, etc. Regular, everyday, family people who
are brave enough to try to do what is best for their home
community for one simple reason they care. Tey care
about their community, its people and its future.
Some ratepayers will complain that members of mu-
nicipal councils are paid too much, yet they most likely
dont realize the countless hours these individuals put
in on our behalf. Its not just a brief council meeting ev-
ery couple of weeks. Tere are numerous subcommittee
meetings, meetings which they appear as a council rep-
resentative and other engagements, not always within
their home community - some are early morning meet-
ings while others run late into the night. In addition to
council business, some of our councillors also work a
full-time job and all have sacrifced valuable, personal
family time for the betterment of their community.
As a reporter attending and covering Town Coun-
cil meetings for the past 13 years, I have had my eyes
opened to how local politics work. It has been a lesson
I wish more people could see unfold in front of them.
It is not always as simple as making a decision at the
local council table and following it through to comple-
tion. Tere are many rules and regulations to follow
and higher provincial and federal powers often have
to be involved in decisions and planning. As a citizen
watching this process from the sidelines I have often
been frustrated, I cannot imagine the frustration our
council members must experience in these situations.
Sometimes, there are things our local council wants to
do, but cant. In some cases, their hands are tied. Tere
are many tough decisions that have to be made. Sad-
ly, in the end, most residents never truly understand
what all took place before a decision was reached or
a resolution was passed. All the general public gets to
see is the fnal outcome and if they dont like it they
blame it all on local council.
Council members and municipal staf often have
to deal with more than their fair share of negativity
from local residents. Some things I have learned from
being a newspaper publisher in a small town you have
to have thick skin, be able to handle criticism and ac-
cept that you will never please everybody. Tese are
things I sometimes struggle with and are the parts of
my career I absolutely hate. However, they are things
I am faced with and forced to deal with whether I like
it or not. I think these same points are even more im-
portant for members of council. As a hometown boy,
born and raised right here in friendly Minnedosa, I
have at times, been outright appalled at the disrespect
shown toward our mayor, councillors and Town staf by
some of our very own citizens. During certain council
meetings, I have witnessed some of the most disgrace-
ful and ignorant behavior directed toward those sitting
around the council table. I think many of you would be
shocked, as I have been, at the name calling, false accu-
sations and horrible personal attacks fung toward our
town of cials. Sadly, we do have, what I consider to be
adult bullies right here in our friendly valley.
At other times, our Town Council members have
been accused of having a hidden agenda and being there
only for their own personal gain. Tere are only a hand-
ful of Town of Minnedosa council meetings I have been
unable to attend over the last 13 years and I assure you
all, I have never witnessed any of this behaviour from the
people around the council table. From what I know of
the individuals on Town Council in recent years, both on
a personal and professional level, they are good people,
each and every one of them. I trust their actions and de-
cisions for the betterment of our community and its fu-
ture. Tey are trying their best, thats all they can do. In
my book, Town Council is doing a fne job with the limi-
tations they sometimes have to work within.
For anyone who does not trust what goes on at a
council meeting please attend one. Council meetings
are open to the public however; very seldom do any ob-
servers sit in to watch what actually takes place. Also,
if you are unhappy with the job your current council is
doing, this is your opportunity to step up and put your
name forward as a candidate for the upcoming elec-
tion. Tere may be a spot for you on the next term of
council. Personally, no amount of money or persua-
sion could ever convince me to run for council. I fnd it
stressful enough dealing with the newspaper criticism
and complaints, I will gladly leave the municipal prob-
lems to someone else!
Now, I will prepare and brace myself for the nega-
tive attacks I am expecting to receive over this article.
You dont have to agree with what I have written; this
is just my own personal opinion. Last time I checked I
still had a right to state it!

Taxpayers of
Minnedosa:
M
any of you have stated that
the present arena should
be rebuilt . I do think that that
is an option that must be seri-
ously considered. In May of 2012
councillor Taylor graciously
toured me through the arena;
thank you Mr. Taylor.
What I saw was a very solid structure that has tre-
mendous possibilities. Te solidness of the structure was
confrmed by Associated Engineers in April 2013. After
65 years, and decades of neglect, the building shows no
serious structural defects; this would indicate that it will
likely outlast any new construction.
I commend Bob Manns for his article in Te
Minnedosa Tribune, February 28th, 2014. I fully agree
we must have rational discussions that involve more
LIGHT than heat. With that in mind, and no judgment
on Bobs ideas, I will share my thoughts.
Here, in point form, are my thoughts on what could
be done with the present arena, the order may vary.
* Conduct a more thorough engineering assessment
of the arena, in particular to identify areas that need
shoring up.
* Redo the roof; asphalt, metal?
* Insulate the ceiling (rafters); Styrofoam?, spray
foam?, insulated hanging ceiling?
* Gut the arena; remove ice, boards, and seating.
* Build an addition on the north end (approximately
ten feet) to allow for standard ice.
* Install ice surface with seating moved to one side.
* With the seating on one side there should be room
for change and storage rooms in behind the seating.
* Upgrade the canteen, viewing area, washrooms,
broadcast booth, and downstairs.
* Build an Entrance/Atrium shared with the Com-
munity Conference Centre.
Since the arena is vacant for six to seven months of
the year, by staging the redevelopment this could be ac-
complished in four to fve years without losing any hock-
ey season. Tis would also allow for time to use volunteer
labour and fundraising.
I would like to see an expe-
rienced builder put some ball
park numbers on the above sug-
gestions, and other items I have

T e all-wood building
(Minnedosa arena) Brandon
Sun, February 22nd, 2014. Who
supplied this misinformation?
Te extensive write ups about hockey in Minnedo-
sa, in Te Minnedosa Tribune , February 28th, 2014, had
a large number of unsubstantiated users of the arena.
Who are users? Why not publish the arena booking
schedule? Surely there is a booking schedule, and in-
clude in it the number of actual participants.
Yours truly,
Herman Klassen,
Minnedosa, MB
Ideas for the present arena
Editors reply;
A
t last Tuesday mornings brief Town Council meet-
ing, council directed administration to obtain esti-
mates from local contractors, etc to determine what the
actual, current cost of upgrading the present arena would
be. I recall back in 2007, Minor Hockey had a report com-
piled by a Winnipeg frm and at that time the fgure came
in around $900,000 and basically only focused on replac-
ing the ice plant, new concrete foor as a result of replac-
ing the in-foor pipes for the ice plant and replacement
of boards. Tat did not include the roof and all the many
other required upgrades for the building. I look forward
to the current estimates and will pass them on to our
readers once they have been obtained.
As for publishing the arena booking schedule, it is
simply too large and too detailed to print here in its en-
tirety however, it is available for viewing on the Minnedo-
sa Minor Hockey website. It shows the arena has been
used by multiple user groups since October 14th, 2013.
Te only days the arena was closed were Christmas
Day, New Years Day and January 8th, 2014. Te sched-
ule shows ice time being booked for a variety of activi-
ties such as skating, hockey practices, clinics, games and
tournaments. Many days, fve diferent user groups are
using the arena and some days as many as eight difer-
ent groups are making use of the facility. In addition to
regular use by our Senior Bombers, high school Chancel-
lors, and six minor hockey teams, other regular users of
the arena include commercial hockey, ladies hockey, rec
hockey, public skating, Can Skate and toddler skate.
As for the actual number of users, a quick tally of
last weeks hockey section I have counted over 160 play-
ers and coaching/support people pictured or mentioned
in just our minor and senior Bombers and Chancellors
teams. Tis number does not include players/coaches,
etc involved with the other teams and groups (mentioned
above) who regularly use the arena.
In addition to our Minnedosa groups, others, such
as the Yellowhead Chiefs, have also hosted games at the
local arena this season. Te arena has also played home
to seven multiple-team hockey tournaments drawing not
only players and coaches but also families and friends
from a wide area to our community for the duration of
the tournament. With the regular season wrapping up,
there are some plans in the works for some three on three
tournaments between our local minor teams and some
fun hockey afternoons to wrap up and celebrate another
great hockey season!
In regards to your question of who supplied the mis-
information to the Brandon Sun, I do not know, you will
have to contact that newspaper for that answer.

T
his year Manitoba has seen one of the coldest win-
ters on record, and with continued heavy snow, slush
and freezing rain, rural residents around the province
have been plagued with dangerous road conditions for
months.
According to Manitoba Public Insurance, this year
has seen more Manitoba drivers die in rural highway
crashes compared to an average Manitoba winter.
Since December 1st, 87 percent of all fatalities have
taken place on rural roads, up from an average of 70 per-
cent in most years, stated MaryAnn Kempe, MPIs vice-
president of community and corporate relations.
MPI recently noted that 13 people were killed in ru-
ral crashes in the months of December and January with
many of the incidents attributed to sever weather and
drivers not adjusting to quick-changing conditions.
Drivers need to adjust quickly to stay safe, Kempe
continued. Driving to road conditions could be a life-
saving decision. More than ever, we are asking motorists
to exercise road safety. When there is ice and snow on the
road surface, slow down.
MPI also encourages drivers to assume that every
surface is icywith the continuous rise and fall of tem-
peratures many times highways are covered in a very thin
sheet of ice that is extremely hard to see.
In the continuing winter weeks ahead remember to
leave additional distance between you and other vehicles
and give yourself plenty of extra time to get where you are
going. Prevention is better than recovery.
Rural Fatalities Higher than Average
By JENNIFER PAIGE
O
n Tuesday evening
the Minnedosa Unit-
ed Church invited the pub-
lic to come and take part in
their Shrove Tuesday cel-
ebrations.
Shrove Tuesday is bet-
ter known as Mardi Gras
which is French for Fat
Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday
marks the last day before
Lent, the season of prepa-
ration for the resurrection
on Easter Sunday.
Shrove Tuesday is the
last day of ordinary time
before Lent. It is typically
a day of fun and excess. It
is really just a celebration
and a time of gathering to-
gether in preparation for
the more serious time of
Lent, explained Rev. Nata-
sha Pearen.
Ash Wednesday marks
the frst day of Lent and is
always held 46 days before
Easter. Te celebration of
Shrove Tuesday originated
in the Middle Ages and
was derived from the word
Shrive which means to
confess and receive abso-
lution.
Traditionally, those
who observe Lent would
restrict themselves from
eating foods like meat,
cheese, and dairy in order
to demonstrate their dedi-
cation. Shrove Tuesday
was often used as a day of
celebration where families
would have large feasts
in order to consume the
foods that become spoiled
over the course of Lent.
In present times at
the United Church Lent
has become more of a time
of ref ection and a time
of then determining your
future and where you are
going in life, rather than
a time of fasting, added
Pearen.
Minnedosa United
Church opened its doors
to community members
on the evening of March
4th in order to take part
in a chili and bun diner, a
few family activities and
discussion.
We are hoping to ed-
ucate people on what the
day is all about, the season
of Lent and along the way
we hope to engage some of
the young families in our
community. We recognize
that Sunday worship is
not always accessible due
to a lot of other activities
and sports schedules that
these families might have
going on. At times it can
be dif cult to participate
in the Sunday component
of church so we are trying
to ofer an alternative time
for these families to get in-
volved.
T e United Church
plans to host three or
four other evening events
throughout the year in or-
der to be more accessible
to everyone in the com-
munity.

Te Divisions Tech-
nology upgrades include
the implementation of a
wide area network, con-
tinuing technology de-
vice ratio of 1:1 for all high
school students as well as
upgrades in teachers and
administrative technolo-
gies.
Tis budget will see
the increase of staf in a few
dif erent areas, which is
quite exciting because this
is the frst time in a long
time that weve increased
staf ng, explained Klas-
sen. Tere will be addi-
tions made in the areas of
reading recovery; added
guidance time for smaller
schools as well as a physi-
ologist to be added within
the division.
Currently the division
hires an outside physiolo-
gist, but Klassen notes that
having a physiologist on
staf will allow for more
time to be spent within the
school and allow for better
access for students.
T ese additions to
our student support staf ft
well with the divisions pri-
orities in healthy living and
the support of our students
mental health.
Te proposed budget
also notes additional rev-
enue which derives from
the lease agreements the
Division acquired in the
purchase agreement of the
provincial building.
Te payroll budget is
projected to decrease due
to savings in accounting
fees due to a software re-
placement.
Te budget also re-
f ects a decrease in the
school bus replacement
budget as the purchase of
three new buses utilized
the Divisions bus reserve
to ofset half the expendi-
ture.
Every year we are also
required to purchase new
buses in order to replace the
old. Tis is done through
the capital reserves and so
the cost of buses doesnt
hit as hard and leaves some
funds available to be put
into the classrooms, added
Klassen.
Te Di-
vi si on has
pl ans t o
maintain its
professional
development
budget for
instructional
staf as well
as maintain
the budget for building ren-
ovation and repairs.
Te board has cer-
tainly worked hard to sup-
port the divisions capital
reserves, which is used for
large purchases like that
of the provincial building.
And when they are able to
maintain these reserves
it enables us to move for-
ward without impacting
the yearly budget. I think
that they certainly deserve
kudos on that front.
Te portion of the as-
sessed value of a property
that is taxed depends on
the category of property.
T e percentage of the
propertys assessed value
that is taxed is 45 percent
for residential, 26 percent
for farmland and 65 per-
cent for commercial prop-
erties.

gram or get some addition-
al information, said Jolene
Young, recreation director
with the Minnedosa and
Area Recreation Com-
mission. Te majority of

I
ts time once again for the annual Rolling River Festival
of the Arts, taking place March 17th-21st in Minnedo-
sa. Performances will be taking place at the Minnedosa
Community Conference Centre (MCCC) and the United
Church. Schedules have been made and programs are
available for a cost of $2 at the Minnedosa Pharmacy, Rap-
id City Library, and Home Hardware in Rivers.
Adjudicators this year are Arline Collins of the Mani-
toba Interlake Region, Julianna Enns of Winnipeg, Aman-
da Dark of Steinbach, and Minnedosas own Barbara Dow-
sett. All of them have extensive biographies which are
available in the programs. Multiple areas will be judged
including vocal solos and duets, spoken poetry and mono-
logues, piano solos, school choirs and bands, and various
dance performances.
Te RRFA happens every year in March and we hope
to have good community support shown for these young
performers. Multiple studies show that children who study
a musical instrument or participate in the arts are more
likely to excel in all of their studies, work better in teams,
have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and
pursue further education. Come see and hear what those
in your community are doing.

O
n Saturday, February
22nd, the Bombers
were ready for their fnal
match against the 12A
Brandon Wheat Kings.
Tis was game three in the
best of three series. Both
teams came ready to play
with series tied at one
game each. Te f rst and
second periods saw many
shots on net for both, but
no one could fnd the back
of the net. Brandon scored
in the third period to take
a 1-0 lead. With just over
a minute left in the game,
Zane MacDonald scored
for the Bombers to force
overtime. Tey played a
f ve minute overtime pe-
riod four on four without
a goal. A second fve min-
ute overtime period of fve
on fve had the same re-
sult. Tis forced a 20 min-
ute overtime period. Early
in period on a power play,
Brandon scored to win
the game. Even though
the Bombers did not win,
they played an outstand-
ing game, never gave up
and should be proud of
their eforts! With league
play and playofs done,
the season is winding
down. Te Bombers have
provincials in Souris and a
tournament in Gladstone
coming up in the next few
weeks.
Friday, February 28th
the Peewee Bombers saw
home ice action against
the Rivers Jets in an exhi-
bition game. Rivers was
f rst on the score board
ending the frst period 1-0.
Te second period saw
Rivers fnding the net with
four goals in a span of four
minutes. Te Bombers
were not ready to throw in
the towel just yet and they
responded with two goals.
Te third period resulted
in a goal for each team,
with a fnal score of 7-3 for
Rivers. Zane MacDonald
1G/1G, Colton Guimond
1G/1A, Josh Good 1G and
Lucas Parrott and Ethan
Bruce each with an assist.
Te Bombers gear up for
the Provincial B tourna-
ment this weekend which
will be hosted in Souris.

T
he Minnedosa Se-
nior Bombers season
came to an end after three
straight losses to the Mini-
ota/Elkorn C-Hawks the
semi-f nal round of the
NCHL playofs.
Te series started in
Minnedosa which saw the
two teams play a high tem-
po game which required
overtime to settle. After the
Bombers opened the scor-
ing with a goal by Michael
Birch and the teams were
tied at one after the frst
period. Te second period
belonged to the C-hawks
as they scored three times
to take a 4-1 lead into the
third. Te Bombers battled
back with the frst of Shane
Jurys two goals midway
through the third and Jury
scored again with 2:43 left
in the third. Ten in dra-
matic fashion with the
goalie on the bench the
Bombers tied the game
with a goal by Russell
Huyghe with 14 seconds
left in the game.
Te Bombers contin-
ued to press in the over-
time but were unable to get
the winner and with only a
1:03 left in the frst over-
time Kyle McLeod scored
the game winner for Mini-
ota/Elkorn.
Te series then shifted
to Elkorn for games two
and three which saw the
Minota/Elkorn win both
games by identical 6-3
scores. Te Bombers again
had a period in both games
where they gave up three-
goals and got behind and
were never able to close
that gap.
On Saturday, Matt Sal-
er lead the Bombers with
two goals and an assist. Ty-
ler Jury had the other tally
for the Bombers.
Tuesday, the Bomb-
er goals came from Wes
Lewis, Matt Saler and Tyler
Jury.
Tis brings to the end
a very successful season
which saw the Bombers
spend several weeks of
the season in frst place
and saw them have at least
one win over every team
in the league. Other than
the last two games, the
Bombers played the de-
fending league Champion
Miniota/Elkorn C-Hawks
six times with four of the
games settled by only one
goal and two of them go-
ing into OT. Teir overall
record was 14 wins fve
losses and an OT loss for
29 points and fourth in
the standings. Tey then
proceeded to eliminate
Foxwarren Falcons in the
frst round of the playofs
in four games before drop-
ping three straight to Mini-
ota/Elkorn.
With a roster mix of
veteran and young players
we are already looking for-
ward to next season.
On a personal note I
would like to extend my
sympathies to the fam-
ily and friends of Jef
MacDonald who passed
away this week. Jef was a
friend of the Bombers and
through various coaching
positions had an infuence
on both Murray Birch and
myself as well as many of
the players. I will miss talk-
ing hockey with you Bucko!
Te Minnedosa Senior
Bombers would like to
thank all of the fans and
our supporters for their
participation in this
successful season.
THANK YOU!
Senior Bombers wrap up successful season on the ice

Coach the things that
you like. If you are going
to spend 100 hours doing
something, make sure you
enjoy it, advised John Pot-
ter, coach and teacher at
Minnedosa Collegiate who
was recently recognized by
the Manitoba High School
Athletic Association as Ru-
ral Coach of the Month.
Potter was born and
raised in Winnipeg has
been coaching basketball
for 32 years. His coaching
career began while attend-
ing the University of Mani-
toba in pursuit of a teach-
ing degree. During his
studies he spent his spare
time coaching basketball
players at Glenlawn Colle-
giate.
After completing his
teaching degree, Potter
left the city in the quest to
f nd a physical education
teaching position.
Getting a teaching job
in Winnipeg in the late 80s
was dif cult so you had
to go. Most of the people
I knew were in some sort
of rural location. I found
a position in Winnipego-
sis, North of Dauphin and
worked and coached there
for 12 years. Te longer I
was outside of Winnipeg
the more I enjoyed ru-
ral Manitoba to the point
where I didnt even want to
move back to the city.
In 1999, Potter made
the move to Minnedosa
where he began to teach
and coach at the Colle-
giate.
Tis year marks Pot-
ters 15th year in the com-
munity, coaching high
school students in a vari-
ety of diferent sports with
a focus on basketball.
I love coaching. You
have motivated kids, that
want to be there and would
go through a brick wall for
you. Tis is dif erent from
classes because the stu-
dents choose to be a part
of the team and want to
be there. You have a cap-
tive audience that wants to
work hard and get better at
a sport that I love.
Over the course of his
15 years at the collegiate,
Potter has hosted several
provincial tournaments,
holds regular practices,
shooting practices, plans
the teams seasons, orga-
nizes several fundraising
eforts and provides end-
less opportunities for his
players to excel.
If you have a coach
that is just going through
the motions you can tell.
You can see it in the way
that the kids commit. Te
students are not going to
have the same dedication
to the game. If you enjoy
it, you want to be there
and you are invested in the
game and the team, it has
a very big spin of efect on
the students, explained
Potter.
Along with coaching
basketball and teaching
physical education, Potter
also teaches chemistry, a
combination of responsi-
bilities that seems to work
well for him.
I really enjoy teaching
chemistry. In the high-end
science classes you have so
many motivated students
and kids that want to work.
I love to be in the gym but
the variety works well. It is
a nice teaching situation.
Over the course of
his time coaching Potter
has focused on basketball
and volleyball but has also
spent some time coach-
ing track and feld, curling,
badminton and fast ball.
When Potter made
the transition from Winni-
pegosis to Minnedosa he
noted one very big difer-
ence in this community.
Tere is something
dif erent about Minnedo-
sa. Minnedosa is a hockey
town. Tere are a lot of re-
ally good athletes in this
town that have been play-
ing hockey since day one
and they dont give other
sports much of a chance
or opportunity. I have seen
some extremely talented
athletes that are hockey
players and they dont
want anything to do with
basketball. Its not that
they dont like basketball it
is just that they are hockey
players and the seasons
are at the same time.
According to Potter
the highlight of his coach-
ing career in Minnedosa
was in 2006 when the MCI
boys basketball team
reached provincial playofs
and came extremely close
to taking home the title.
Tat particular year
one of my players was
named to the graduating
All Star team as well I re-
ceived the AA Coach of the
Year Award.
Potter has seen a num-
ber of students come and
go in his years at the high
school and always encour-
ages them to get involved
and to take advantage of
the opportunities that are
available throughout their
high school years.
You are only in high
school once and you have
the next 50 years of your
life to work. Tese days so
many of these kids have
jobs to help pay for their
cell phones or whatever
and it cuts down on how
much that they will par-
ticipate or if they partici-
pate at all. I like to remind
them to take advantage
of as many opportunities
that you can now. Being
involved with a team and a
sport has so many payofs.

The Clanwilliam Curling Club would like to extend their appreci ation for the support they
received in hosting a successful 100th anniversary of the curli ng club in Clanwilliam. The
list is endless. To those who took part in the July 6th Carnival, bought tickets and attended
the Street Dance. To those who supported the raffe and the Erickson 4-H Club for looking
after the canteen for the day. Special thanks to the numerous v olunteers who helped with
planning and preparations both pre-event and post-event, and to those who staffed the
various jobs and stations throughout the day and evening. Further, a heartfelt thank you to
all of the businesses and individuals who gave sponsorships of cash and/or merchandise in
order that we could host an event of such magnitude.
To the forty rinks that entered and participated in our Centennial Mixed Bonspiel, we thank
you for coming. t is evident that the true essence of curling and community spirit is alive
and well. To each and every one who donated food and/or volunte ered their time during
the bonspiel and to the Minnedosa Lions Club for hosting the pa ncake breakfast, we offer
our thanks. The dedication of the many individuals and volunteers was greatly appreciated
and allowed for a smooth and successful week. Not even a glitchin the weather on the frst
day of the bonspiel would dampen the spirits, as the Erickson Curling Club came to our aid
and allowed us to utilize their facility to ensure that we could catch up the games that were
cancelled.and we thank you.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to list each and every individu al who contributed in one form or
another to the 100th celebrations of the Clanwilliam Curling Cl ub without missing someone.
Hence, please accept our sincere thanks and know that we apprec iate the support and
commitment made on our behalf. Lastly, we would like to acknowl edge the following
businesses who provided sponsorships of cash, merchandise or equipment, without whom,
the success of both the summer and winter events would not have been possible.

ncluded in the top 10
most common New
Years resolutions are lose
weight, exercise more, and
eat better. Although I am
not a Dietician or a Per-
sonal Fitness Trainer, I can
assist you in the kitchen.
Having a backyard
barbeque is a popular
event during the summer,
but year-round it provides
a great low fat cooking
method. Grilled meats,
f sh, and even vegetables
always taste great because
of the distinctive fame-
licked smoky taste and
caramelization. Very little
fat needs to be added to
items to keep them from
sticking and there are no
pots and pans to clean up.
A low-fat cooking spray
applied to the cold grill be-
fore igniting can also ease
the cooking process and
help to make those won-
derful grill-marks. One of
the few health concerns is
the amount of carcinogens
when food is over-cooked
over a fame. Te black-
ened bits ideally need to
be removed if this is a con-
cern for you.
Poaching in a savory
broth or wine is a great way
to not only infuse favour
but also keep your chicken
or fsh extremely moist. I
fnd that poaching is very
misunderstood. It is not
the same as boiling. One
of the last things I would
want to eat is boiled chick-
en. Te culinary def nition
of poaching is to cook gen-
tly in water or other liquid
that is hot but not actually
bubbling, about 160 to 180
degrees Fahrenheit. Wine
poached salmon with a
dollop of seasoned no-fat
sour cream is amazingly
delicious and incredibly
moist.
Braising meats is an-
other way of reducing the
amount of fat in your meal.
Braising is the process
of quickly browning your
meat for favour and then
cooking covered with a
small amount of liquid. In-
expensive tougher cuts of
meat that are cooked using
this moist heat method
over a longer cooking time
will become very tender.
Te liquid (wine, broth,
beer, juice, etc.) helps to
break down the unpalat-
able connective tissue
found in these bargain
provisions at the butchers
counter. However, brais-
ing also works with lean-
er products like skinless
chicken breast or pork loin
- just dont cook them as
long.
We ha v e o nl y
scratched the culinary
surface, but hopefully this
will aid you in bringing
some enthusiasm to your
kitchen adventures. Dont
forget about the abundant
number of no-fat bottled
dressings in your local su-
permarket. Tey are not
only ideal on salads, but
also use them as mari-
nades, dips, and sauces
with certain dishes to help
add variety quickly... just
remember no fat doesnt
mean no calorie - always
read the nutrition labels.
Dear Chef Dez:
I am on a diet and
looking for ways to add
favour to my meals with-
out adding fat or too many
calories. Any suggestions?
Dawn
Dear Dawn:
Herbs and spices are
the way to go. Dry spice
rubs and fresh herbs add
a ton of favour without
adding a number of calo-
ries. Try cooking with fat-
free broths.
Stay away from con-
diments like ketchup and
barbeque sauce, as they
are loaded with sugar.

G
lyphosate has now
become an essential
component to virtually
every crop production sys-
tem on the prairies. Its use
ranges from perennial and
annual weed control pre
and post seeding to its use
as a desiccant.
Tis wide spread use
and reliance has many op-
erations becoming uneasy
with the increasing reports
of glyphosate weed resis-
tance. Te most recent re-
port is that of glyphosate
resistant kochia found in
southern Alberta. Prior to
this report giant ragweed
had been reported as re-
sistant in 2009 and Canada
feabane in 2011.
Te potential for de-
veloping glyphosate re-
sistance is a result of the
weeds biology, the inten-
sity of glyphosate use and
the rate of glyphosate be-
ing used.
T e biology of the
weed probably has the
greatest impact on the
probability of resistance
developing.
Weed species that
have already developed
resistance to other herbi-
cides are likely to have a
greater probability of de-
veloping glyphosate resis-
tance. Species that have
developed glyphosate
resistance based on resis-
tance to other herbicide
modes of action include
giant ragweed, kochia, and
ryegrass. Other potential
weeds that maybe prone to
glyphosate resistance de-
velopment include: lambs
quarters, pigweeds and
tougher to control weeds
such as wild buckwheat,
round leaf mallow, dan-
delion and hawks beard.
Since the trait for glypho-
sate resistance can be
spread by pollen or seed,
the spread of resistant
populations will be faster
for some weed species
than others.
T e intensity of
glyphosate use increases
the probability of resis-
tance. Increasing glypho-
sate use increases the
probability of selecting an
herbicide-resistant plant.
With continued glypho-
sate use, the number of re-
sistant plants will continue
to multiply and create a
resistant population. RR
Canola and RR Soybeans
have a greater reliance on
glyphosate and are more
likely to see resistance de-
velop with these cropping
systems.
It is less clear how
rate afects glyphosate
resistance development
in weeds. Several known
gl y phos at e- r es i s t ant
weeds require eight to 10
times more glyphosate
to be controlled than the
normal, sensitive biotypes.
It is unknown if reduced
glyphosate rates contribut-
ed to these plants becom-
ing resistant, or if resis-
tance would have occurred
at labeled rates. Tis is an
area of concern due to the
varied reduced rates that
are being commonly used
across the prairies. As a
result it is recommended
to be sure to use suf cient
glyphosate to ensure good
control and prevent hard-
to-control weeds from in-
creasing in any feld.
Adding diversity to
your weed management
programs is the key to
avoiding glyphosate re-
sistance. An integrated
weed management pro-
gram provides additional
benefts since these prac-
tices improve the overall
level and consistency of
weed control. Te follow-
ing weed management
practices avoid the con-
tinuous and exclusive use
of glyphosate and lessen
the potential for develop-
ing glyphosate-resistant
weeds:
* Rotate between
Roundup Ready and con-
ventional crops or crops
with other types of herbi-
cide resistance.
* Rotate glyphosate
with herbicides that have
diferent modes of action.
* Apply a residual her-
bicide before glyphosate
or tank mix another her-
bicide with glyphosate.
If glyphosate is used as a
burn-down treatment and
in-crop in the same year,
tank mix the glyphosate
applied in the burn-down
treatment with an herbi-
cide that has a diferent
mode of action. Te in-
crop glyphosate applica-
tion should still be rotated
with other herbicides in
other years.
* Apply glyphosate at
labeled rates and at the
correct stage of weed and
crop growth to reduce the
risk of poor control.

Te laziest man I ever
met put popcorn in his
pancakes so they would
turn over by themselves.
W.C. Fields
Burnt Popcorn
Hi Reena,
I look forward to read-
ing your column the min-
ute our paper arrives. I
need help!
I burnt a bag of micro-
wave popcorn in our new
microwave. I have tried
every imaginable solu-
tion to get rid of the burnt
smell (it is much better
but I can still detect an
odour). Worse than that,
I scorched the back of the
microwave wall, and have
tried and tried to get rid of
the yellow area but it is
still there. Any advice you
can ofer would be greatly
appreciated. Jackie
Dear Jackie,
You are not alone; this
happens all the time! Your
best bet is to overpower the
burnt smell with a pleas-
ant aroma. Soak a sponge
with water and a few tea-
spoons of vanilla for bak-
ing. Te more vanilla, the
stronger the smell. Heat
for two minutes, let sit for
a few hours. Wipe the mi-
crowave out with a gen-
erous amount of vinegar
and a few drops of lemon
juice. Dry the microwave
and unplug it. Stuf the
microwave with LOTS of
crumpled up newspa-
per. Te ink in newspaper
will absorb the stubborn
odour. Leave newspaper
for at least a few days. Re-
move the newspaper. Store
a bowl of baking soda in
your microwave when
not in use. Te odour will
eventually dissipate. In
terms of the stain, wipe the
interior with acetone free
nail polish remover. Next
thoroughly clean your mi-
crowave with dishsoap and
water.
Stovetop Popcorn
Heat stove to medium.
Melt 3 tbsp. butter or co-
conut oil or peanut oil in
a heavy pot on the stove.
When grease is hot, drop
one popcorn kernel into
the pot and cover with a
lid. After the single ker-
nel pops, add half cup
un-popped popcorn ker-
nels and half teaspoon
salt. Gently shake the pot
so that the kernels dont
burn. When popping slows
down, remove pot from
stove. Salt and butter to
taste, pour into bowl and
serve.
Popcorn with a Twist
Top of popcorn with
one of the following: Melt-
ed chocolate and salted
nuts, melted garlic butter,
hot curry powder, chili
powder, taco seasoning
salt, light drizzle of maple
syrup, Ranch or BBQ dress-
ing powder, cinnamon/
sugar, peanut butter or a
variety of grated cheeses.
Popcorn Trail Mix
Set out a table full of
treats at your next popcorn
party. Choices can include:
M&Ms (plain and with
peanuts), peanuts, raisins,
chocolate and caramel syr-
up, mini marshmallows,
ice cream and pretzels.
Carmel popcorn
Into a saucepan melt
1 cup butter. Stir in 2 cups
brown sugar, half cup corn
syrup and 1 tsp. salt. Stir
while mixture comes to a
boil. Stop stirring and al-
low mixture to continue
to boil for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and
add half tsp. vanilla and
half tsp. baking soda.
Toss sauce and popcorn
together. Spread onto a
parchment paper lined
baking sheet. Bake at 250
degrees for one hour be-
ing careful to stir every 15
mins. Cool and eat!
Popcorn for Packing
Because popcorn is
becoming a popular pack-
ing alternative when send-
ing fragile and breakable
items in the mail, theres
a good chance youll get
a parcel f lled with the
fufy stuf. If you do, dont
throw it out, simply add it
to your compost pile-its
biodegradable.
Soothing Popcorn
Fill a clean sock with
popcorn kernels. Close
with a rubber band. Store
in the freezer. Next time
someone needs a sooth-
ing icepack, give them the
popcorn sock!
Storing Popcorn
Popcorn kernels may
be stored in the freezer; the
secret to long lasting pop-
corn storage is to pour ker-
nels into a sealable bag or
container before freezing.
Freezing popcorn often re-
sults in less percentage of
popcorn kernels popping.
Popcorn Trivia
Without adding but-
ter and salt, popcorn is a
healthy snack, it is high in
protein, iron and calcium!

inside the tower and rotting the concrete. Last year, the
tower was roped of as it was identifed as unsafe.

Society after narrowly avoiding compaction at a landfll

ROBLIN REVIEW - Following a successful centennial
celebration in 2013, the organizing committee has found
itself with $24,000 to spend on a legacy project. Te yet-
to-be-determined project will be something that is ac-
cessible to everybody in the community, functional, use-
ful and refect the fun and community togetherness felt
during the centennial celebration.
SOURIS PLAINDEALER - Te Town has requested as-
sistance from Manitoba Conservation to reduce the
number of wild turkeys in the community. Te birds
have become quite a nuisance and live traps, which do
not hurt or detroy the birds, have been set up around the
community. Te turkeys will be relocated and released
north of Brandon. It is unlikely that the entire fock will
be captured but the estimated 50 to 60 gobblers will soon
dwindle down to only a few remaining birds.

Gently lay them in her hand
And tell her theyre from us.

In Memory of
Nellie Woychyshyn
Who passed away
March 03, 2007
Its lonesome here
without you,
We miss you more each day,
Somehow, life does not
Seem the same,
Since you have gone away,
We little knew that afternoon,
Tat God was going to call
your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
Te day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we
cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us
one by one,
Te chain will link again.

Save with the Tax-Free Savings
Account
The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a fexible,
registered, general-purpose savings vehicle that
allows Canadians to earn tax-free investment income
to more easily meet lifetime savings needs. The TFSA
complements existing registered savings plans like
the Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP) and
the Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP).
How the Tax-Free Savings Account Works
As of January 1, 2013, Canadian residents, age 18 and older, can contribute up to $5,500 annually to a TFSA.
This is an increase from the annual contribution limit of $5,000 for 2009 through 2012 and refects indexation
to infation.
Investment income earned in a TFSA is tax-free.
Withdrawals from a TFSA are tax-free.
Unused TFSA contribution room is carried forward and accumulates in future years.
Full amount of withdrawals can be put back into the TFSA in future years. Re-contributing in the same year
may result in an over-contribution amount which would be subject to a penalty tax.
Choose from a wide range of investment options such as mutual funds, Guaranteed Investment Certifcates
(GICs) and Cash.
Contributions are not tax-deductible.
Neither income earned within a TFSA nor withdrawals from it afect eligibility for federal income-tested
benefts and credits, such as Old Age Security, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, and the Canada Child Tax
Beneft.
Funds can be given to a spouse or common-law partner for them to invest in their TFSA.
TFSA assets can generally be transferred to a
spouse or common-law partner upon death.
