Bantams win provincial title

By TERRY MCLENEHAN

In the fi rst bantam pro-vincial championship by

Minnedosa teams, and the fi rst provincial title since the pee wee team won in 2005-2006, the Minnedosa Bantams brought home the provincial champion-ship from Treherne last month, going undefeated

in the tournament. Th eir fi rst game was against the hometown team from Treherne where they won 5-3. Th e next day, they completed their pool play, defeating Teulon 3-1.Th en, it was on to the semi-fi nals where they defeated Th e Pas 4-1. The Championship fi nal came against East-

man’s representative from LaBroquerie. Minnedosa came out fl ying and Rees MacDonald didn’t take much time to open the scoring with two fi rst pe-riod tallies, his fi rst was came with an assist from Colby Ryznar the second from Connor English and Colby Ryznar. Th e team went up 3-0

in the second period on Brent Cardy’s fi rst of the game, that tally came with an assist from Nick Cam-eron. Eastman scored with the second period coming to a close to make it a two goal game.

The Rolling River School Division budget was fi -nalized on March 6th, 2013 with revenues and

expenditures at $22,326,640, a 2.8% increase from last year. A number of additions are planned, in-cluding an additional 0.7 full-time equivalent in teaching staff across the division. Superintendant Reg Klassen says that in recent years, enrollment decrease has led to a staffi ng surplus, meaning that some staff were reassigned to schools in other com-munities. Change in staffi ng is hard on schools, and diffi cult for the individuals who then need to travel to get to work, and adjust to a new environment. He is pleased to report that in the coming year, these transfers will be avoided. Enrollment has been de-creasing every year since 2000, except the last two. Klassen says that increases in kindergarten enroll-ment mean that this year, it will surpass the number of students graduating from grade 12, which is good news. “If we can get 140 students enrolling in kin-dergarten every year, this should be enough, over a few years, to stabilize our numbers throughout the division.” Th e division is well on its way to meeting the recent provincial promise for kindergarten to grade three classrooms to hold less than 20 students, hav-ing recently hired staff to accommodate the change. Th e one remaining class of 26 is currently split in half for half of each day. A curious increase in expenditure is on trans-portation costs. Klassen says that despite removing one bus route, and transitioning to low emission buses, the division will spend more on diesel fuel as low emission school buses actually consume more fuel. While provincial funding is set on a per capita basis, the province guarantees funding equal to the previous fi scal year. Th is helps to maintain stable funding and ensures quality of education.

The Minnedosa Cham-ber of Commerce held

its Annual General Meet-ing Wednesday at the Curl-ing Complex. During the election of offi cers for Chamber Ex-ecutive for 2013, Treasurer Callie Mashtoler, Secretary Ken Jenkins and Vice Pres-ident Darryl Holyk agreed to let their names stand and were re-elected to the executive. With no nomi-nations coming forward, the positions of Second Vice and Chairperson re-main vacant. Th e Chamber cannot continue success-fully without a chairperson and members are urgently asked to consider putting their name forward as the newest chairperson of Th e Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce. Looking back over the 12 months of activity for the Chamber in 2012, it’s safe to say the Chamber experienced another busy and successful year. Th e local Chamber

continues to have a strong membership. Last year, 14 new members were wel-comed to Th e Chamber to bring the total member-ship number to 148. A major focus of 2012 was to incorporate more guest speakers into the weekly Chamber lunch meetings. Th is goal was met and a total of 11 guest speakers have presented information. Presentation topics included River’s Edge Recreation Park, local crime statistics, Capturing Opportunities, Manitoba Chamber of Commerce, High School Apprentice-ship programs, Canadian Pacifi c Railway, the Grey Cup train, MREC Capital Campaign, Neepawa and Area Settlement Services, Frauds, Scams and most recently possible commu-nity marketing opportu-nities through radio and community newspapers. Again in 2012, Th e Chamber hosted a number of special events includ-ing the annual town wide garage sales during May

long weekend, the Ag Ap-preciation in June which supports two $1,000 bur-saries at MCI, the Fun Fest Parade, Santa Day, Shop Minnedosa Day, Chamber Christmas Party in sup-port of the local Christmas Cheer Board and co-spon-sored a Golf Night with MREC. Th e Chamber also off ered support to events such as the Grey Cup train visit and the Fun Fest mu-sic jam, street market and kiddies activities. Various promotions were also undertaken by Th e Chamber in 2012 in-cluding maintaining the retail showcases, coupon sheets, business of the month recognition, Christ-mas shop local campaign, giant stocking raffl e and window display contest. Chamber support was also provided to initiatives such as the Community Ambassador program, Val-ley Greetings new resident packages, Valley Snow Hawks Business Directory sign, and the MCU Christ-mas Loan Program.

Th e Chamber spon-sored the 2012 Manitoba Youth Job Centre and pro-vided a fi nancial commit-ment to having the Cham-ber Business Directory on display as a sign board at the Discover Minnedosa (former Esso) site at the south junction of High-ways 16 and 16A. As for the year ahead, Th e Chamber plans to continue its weekly lunch meetings, circulation of information through its member email database as well as initiatives, pro-motions and events that

have been successful in the past. Plans are under-way for a new town map to be printed for distribution to visitors and discussions will continue on ideas for promoting the commu-nity to a larger audience to attract visitors to the community which in turn

should boost activity with-in our business district. Anyone willing to step forward to fi ll the vacancy of Chamber chairperson please contact a member of the executive or email m i n n e d o s a c h a m b e r @gmail.com

Craig Cameron has been on the Minnedo-

sa Minor Hockey Associa-tion board for 15 years, and it sounds like the recent Bantam provincial win put the icing on the cake for him. “You shoulda seen our game against La Bro-querie! Th eir fans are just crazy, yelling, in a positive way, and then our fans are getting into it, and you had music between every stop-page of play, and then this announcer was a profes-sional- you thought you were in an NHL game and I’ve never seen that in any game I’ve ever coached.” He’s one of over 40 core volunteers, and many more hockey parents dedi-cated to maintaining and continuing the Minnedosa Minor Hockey Association. Th e Association hosts six teams in the Yellowhead region. It hosts tourna-ments throughout the year (this year, there was eight), including the Skate the

Lake hockey tournament. Barry Good is the MMHA president, and while Minnedosa’s num-bers are stable, he’s look-ing at ensuring that kids from surrounding areas have a place to play, as populations decline. Still, he says the Association has the highest participation in the Yellowhead Region. Cameron and Good praise parents for MMHA teams, which they say are supportive at games, and volunteer a lot- at the can-teen at the rink, and for tournaments. Most of the coaches are parents too, though Cameron notes that it would be great to have more non parent coaches. “Michael Birch is helping out with the ban-tam team- he’s in his 20s and the kids love that. Th ey get sick of listening to old guys like their dad’s eh?” Good and Cameron note that the Association strives to keep costs down to keep playing accessible-mostly through volunteer-

ing. Th ey talk about how their initiation program gives young players a good start, but also about how important it is to get good ice times for practices, and also provide fair ice time for the players, in terms of making things work for families, and making the time worthwhile for play-ers. Sounds like watching players develop and suc-ceed has been worth the eff ort. Cameron laughing about the bantam players again: “Th ey were a pretty rag tag group at ten years old, I’ll tell you that. But then, this year just before

Christmas, they peaked. I mean, this tournament was just one of those 1980 US Olympic things. It’s great to see.”

At a recent Minnedosa UCT Bingo, Olive Cameron presented $500 to Christina

Woodcock in support of the River’s Edge Recreation Park project. Th e funds are part

of the proceeds from the UCT’s weekly bingos which are donated back to the community

in support of various worthy causes.

Around

TownBy Darryl Holyk

Time change Sunday… It seems it was only yesterday we turned our clocks an hour back for those long, dark winter days and now it’s time to move them one hour ahead. While we lose an hour, the good news is (although this week’s blizzard doesn’t look like it) spring and summer are on their way and hopefully just around the corner! Remember, the time change occurs this Sunday at 2 a.m. when clocks move forward one hour to 3 a.m.

E-friendly council meetings… Minnedosa Town Council is doing its part to cut down on the amount of paper used in the old Town Hall. Th e recent Committee of the Whole Council meeting introduced the use of the laptops to replace the piles of papers and reports being stacked on each councillor’s desk. Now, the only paper being used at the municipal council meeting of Th e Town is the resolution forms for members of council to sign. It’s good to see these lap-tops being used at council meetings. Th ese eight lap-tops were purchased for council use at $640 plus taxes per computer back in November 2010.

Minnedosa in Winnipeg… As today’s paper hits the streets, our community is being promoted to potential visitors and possibly new residents at a trade show booth at the annual RV Show in Winnipeg. Th e show began yesterday, March 7th and wraps up Sunday, March 10th. Economic De-velopment Offi cer, Sandra Ingenmey is in attendance at the Minnedosa booth promoting our community and handing out information, trinkets and a special pro-motional material highlighting the many attractions Minnedosa has to off er.

Early deadline coming up… Although it’s still a few weeks away, I want to get the word out early that with Good Friday on March 29th, that week’s edition of Th e Tribune will hit the streets one day early on Th ursday, March 28th. Th at also means that our regular Tuesday at 12 noon deadline for news and advertising will also move back one day to Monday at 12 noon for that week only. If you need to get some-thing in for the March 28th Tribune, please get it in to us by Monday, March 25th.

Dear Editor,

So we get a glossy card in the mail that says “Don’t

Let Th e NDP Bankrupt Manitoba Hydro”. It’s really good to get some attention from our MLA who doesn’t actually live in our constitu-ency; but at the same time, we do need to question what she is talking about. Our NDP Government is the biggest supporter of Manitoba Hydro as an as-set for the Province. It brings us the lowest energy costs

for consumers and attracts business to Manitoba be-cause of that. Th e Government of Manitoba is now investing in making hydro electric energy more of an export product. How is that go-ing to jeopardize Manitoba Hydro’s position in the economy? What would the Conservatives do? So Ms. Rowat and her Party are somewhat off base. Do they really know what they are talking about; or is this all about political spin?

Th is card in the mail doesn’t tell us much about the Manitoba PCs’ under-standing of Manitoba Hy-dro. It’s simply an empty talking point. Our NDP Government has indicated many times that Manitoba Hydro is a very signifi cant factor in our economic fu-ture. Th ey have compared it to Alberta Oil as a genera-tor of jobs and prosperity. To think that the Manitoba Government would take a risk on Manitoba Hydro even slightly toward a fi -

nancial problem is living in a dream world. Let’s not be fooled by Conservative propaganda. We all know the record of Manitoba Conservatives is toward privatization of ma-jor provincial assets (Mani-toba Telephone). Is that what they have in mind for Manitoba Hydro?

Dear Editor,

It is too easy for many of us living in Canada to

take our wonderful wa-ters, our blood of life, for granted. Reading the grim mes-sage of what we can ex-pect, (Save lake or live by ‘open-air sewer’, Winnipeg Free Press, February 24th.) I must ask, “Has Lake Win-nipeg gone beyond the tip-ping point, and now, is it too late to recover?” Science has long iden-tifi ed the source of the problems with the Lake and many other Canadian lakes and waters experi-encing massive eutrophi-cation. For more than 40 years, study after study, ar-rived at a consensus: over-fertilization of our fresh waters. In 1974, co-author of “Th e Algal Bowl,” sci-entist John R. Vallentyne predicted that we would be living with an environ-mental disaster he called the algal bowl by the year

2000. Just as the Dust Bowl of the 1930s was cre-ated by misusing western farmland, he forecast that continued misuse of lakes would lead to water deg-radation. To-day, waters suff er from our ignorance and denial. His predictions have been realized. Science tells us Lake recovery is costly and takes time. Having failed to heed the warnings, the most cost

eff ective approach now is to reduce inputs and wait for decades, for the symp-toms of eutrophication to subside. Th e old adage “a gram of prevention is worth a ki-logram of cure”, fi ts Lake Winnipeg’s algae prob-lems perfectly. It is a hard lesson to learn. It is clear that govern-ments have ignored this basic principle of Water

Stewardship for many years in the pursuit of nar-row economic interests.Lake Winnipeg has be-come a horrid reminder of devastation, that we are leaving our children and their children to bear alone.

Re: Friday, March 1st edition

Dear Editor,

I beg to diff er Inky but I think you’re a little off

target on this one. I fully agree that the long gun leg-islation was nothing but a billion dollar boondoggle. It’s dead, it’s gone. How-ever the POL, PAL is a very important certifi cate and I’ll tell you why.

First of all the (POL, PAL) application itself. It requires each to state marital status and makes it somewhat more diffi cult to have approved without your spouse’s signature. In addition, Police have the ability to pull a POL, PAL licence if there’s ever a need. If pulled and if the holder has fi rearms then they can be pulled too if necessary. Lastly if your POL, PAL is pulled then that person

can no longer buy ammu-nition anywhere in Cana-da. I think we’d agree that anything that makes this country in any small way a little safer for all has got to be a good thing. Keep it.

Wendell Yager,

Folks around Erick-son met last month to

strategize on meeting the surrounding area’s food needs locally, with ac-cess across incomes, and making local options easy and convenient as a fi rst choice, before options from far away. For Valerie Pankratz, the idea is about creating a more economi-cally sustainable local community, while de-creasing our environmen-tal footprint. Working for the Riding Mountain Bio-sphere Reserve, she says that networking between producers, and between producers and consumers are easy fi rst steps that the biosphere is already sup-porting. “We began the At the Farm Gate eff ort about four years ago. One of our main activities is a farm-ers market in Onanole, which has become very, very popular.” She says it’s one thing to sell products to people moving through the region, “but there are plenty of people who come to the park and stay all summer.” She thinks this is a great opportunity for cot-tagers to get to know local producers, check out their operation, and buy prod-ucts directly from produc-ers. Pankratz recruited 13 participants to the meet-

ing including Andrea Dalle of Minnedosa. All partici-pants are active within 50 kms of Erickson. Support-ing groups to develop lo-cal food systems is a proj-ect of the Manitoba Farm Mentoriship, Manitoba Alternative Food Research Alliance, and the Harvest Moon Society and they pro-vided facilitation and sup-port to write up the results of the meeting. Jackie Avent was one of the facilitators and said that the meetings have also been held in the Interlake, Cypress River, Boissevain, and Steinbach regions. She says some is-sues are common to most of the communities, for ex-ample, how some provin-cial regulations can work against the establishment of truly local food systems. Th e Erickson group considered the develop-ment of a number of prac-tices, like relying more on animal and human waste rather than chemicals for fertilizers, connecting with

local grocery stores and restaurants, permaculture practices like seed saving, a seed library, and a win-ter greenhouse, as well as setting up more barter op-tions and non monetary trade schemes. In the fi nal summary of their ‘possible goals’ there is a lot of em-phasis on connecting and communication through an internet presence, education through tours, classes, and government meetings, and organiza-tional development, like a people’s co-op.

As far as Avent is concerned, the more communication the better. Funding has expired for her piece of the work, but if she were able, “I’d be interested in bringing these groups from across southern Man-itoba together.” Pankratz believes building the local food sys-tem could even work to in-crease the population. “We have a lot of people who are interested in moving here.” She says a strong local economy could increase confi dence that newcom-ers could make a living.

RRSD also receives funding from Riding Mountain National Park and Rolling River First Nation for tu-ition for students from both communities, and dollars for students transferring in from other divisions un-der Schools of Choice. Finally, like all school divisions, RRSD sets a rate for local education property taxes. Th is year, the RRSD mill rate, which is 1/1000th of the Divi-sion’s portioned assessment of property value and re-fl ects the rate of taxation increased by 2.2 percent. Th e RRSD portioned assessment adds 1.7 percent to this, adding up to a 3.9% increase in education property tax-es for 2013. Rolling River School Division operates 16 schools in southwestern Manitoba, and the Adult Learning Cen-tre in Minnedosa and supports just over 1720 students from kindergarten to grade 12. Th e division employs a total staff of 300, about half of which are teaching staff . Full details of the budget proposal are available on the School Division website.

In the business of farm-ing, everything counts-

either contributing to or taking away from the bot-tom line. Increasingly, farmers are making choic-es that refl ect a bottom line that’s about more than simple profi t, but includes measures towards soil and groundwater health, mois-ture capture, water table levels and habitat protec-tion and restoration. Still, Wes Pankratz says, “It’s a constant battle - I need to make money. I’ve got pay-ments to make. I’d like to retire at some point. So it’s a balance between always trying to be productive and profi table, but main-taining some conservation practices and ethics on the farm. It’s not easy some-times.” Eleven percent of his third generation grain and oil seed farm- a sec-tion and a half of land all together- is under some kind of conservation man-agement, either protect-ing elements that already exist like bush, tree lines and sloughs, or restor-ing natural elements like potholes that have been drained through water re-tention with an artifi cial

dam. “I think I’ve always had a conservation ethic- you try to maintain a bal-ance.” Pankratz’s choices have incurred some rev-enue loss, but all have been supported in some way by a diverse number of conservation programs, like Delta Waterfowl Adopt a Pothole, Whitemud Conservation District for small dams, tree planting, and grassed runways, and Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation for wetland restoration, riparian fenc-ing, and easements on pot-holes and bush. Soil scientist Don Flaten at the University of Manitoba, says set-ting natural land aside ‘is a wonderful thing to do’. “In parkland and dry land areas of the prairies, like Minnedosa, setting land aside complements other conservation practices that famers are already us-ing like conservation till-age, which has resulted in a tremendous reduction in soil erosion and loss of or-ganic matter in soil, and a lot less soil degradation in general.” Blaine Hjertaas has adopted holistic manage-ment at his cattle farm near Redvers SK; in part to

rebuild soil at a time where worry is mounting about the longevity of the land’s ability to support agricul-ture after years of increas-ing industrialization, and associated soil degrada-tion. For him, what really matters is working towards diversity, after years of moving towards mono-cultures. “A pothole is way more diverse than a canola fi eld, and will build soil to some extent. It’ll do it bet-ter if it gets grazed once in awhile and trees are great too.” As someone who walks the walk, Pankratz is a pretty good fi t for his role with Manitoba Heri-tage Habitat Corporation, recruiting and brokering agreements with land-owners. “I don’t have the luxury of condemning all drainage and develop-ment on farmland”- saying the programs he runs are about supporting better choices, not outlawing cur-rent practices. To date, the Manitoba Heritage Habitat Corporation has achieved 600 agreements in Manito-ba on the road towards, as Pankratz says “protecting as much natural habitat as possible”. An agreement involves setting land aside, out of active production for perpetuity, regardless of change of ownership. Th is can be a daunting scenario

for many landowners. Still, Pankratz signed his most recent agreement just a couple of weeks ago with Gord Hammell, on land just north of Clanwilliam. ‘We off er a onetime pay-ment for landowners as a part of the agreement. It works out to about $125 an acre.’ He encourages farm-ers to check out the op-tions, and there are many, some of which can be used in combination with oth-ers, like ALUS. “You have to make a conscious eff ort to leave some areas alone, but you don’t have do it for free.”

Barbara Cornish of Winnipeg studied piano with Dr. Lyell Gustin in Saskatoon and with Th om-as Manshardt at University of Regina. After teaching piano and theory in Saska-toon she moved to Caron-port, Sask. For 21 years she taught piano, music theory, piano pedagogy, accompaniment and im-provisation at Briercrest College; Barbara served seven years as chair of the

music department there. In January 1998 she moved to Winnipeg to teach pia-no at Providence College in Otterburne. Today she teaches with University of Manitoba Preparatory Di-vision (music) and main-tains a private studio in her home. Besides being a piano teacher, Barbara is a singer, accompanist, adju-dicator, choir director and church organist. Melinda Camplin obtained her bachelor of music in education and piano performance from McMaster University. She also has a master of music in piano literature and per-formance from Brandon University. While work-ing on her piano degrees, she played violin in the McMaster Chamber Or-chestra and Brandon Uni-versity Orchestra. She has also been concertmaster of Brandon Community Orchestra and frequently plays violin at seniors’ homes, hospitals, churches and weddings in the Bran-don area. Originally from southern Ontario, Melinda teaches piano, violin and theory in Brandon; she will be RRFA’s strings adjudica-tor. Margot Sim began her musical training in Win-

Th roughout her teach-ing career, Linda Clark has, among other subjects, taught English language arts and has trained in-dividuals and classroom speaking choirs. She be-lieves speech is a very important part of today’s language arts curriculum and she recognizes the value of festivals as anoth-er venue for youth to gain

experience in presenting themselves. Linda’s train-ing began as a young child participating at festivals; her training continues through her festival work with classrooms through-out her teaching career. For many years she has been a 4-H leader promot-ing youth taking an active role in leadership posi-tions and the 4-H public speaking program. Originating from South Africa, Amy Webb has lived and danced in Canada for the last 11 years. She has com-pleted all Cechetti ballet exams and was accepted into Royal Winnipeg Bal-let’s professional summer training program.

By JAYNE SOLTYS

March is a busy month for the students at

Minnedosa Collegiate. We’re now well into our second semester with mid-terms in some courses coming up after spring break. Spring is so close we can smell it (almost)! Th e Chancellor’s hock-ey team had their season cut short with a loss during the fi rst round of playoff s against Neepawa. Congrat-ulations on a great season! Th ere will be a lot of chang-es on the Chancellor’s hockey team next season as they will be losing seven graduating players. Th e girls’ basketball team had a good season but were defeated by Elton

during zone playoff s. With many younger players on the team this season we are looking forward to see-ing a strong girls’ basketball team hit the court next year. Amanda DeMontigny and Ken Surovy coached and Mrs. DeMontigny managed the team. Th e Chancellor boys’ basketball team is having a very successful season. A win against MacGregor on March 5th will lead the team to provincials in Th e Pas on March 14th to 16th. Th e team is currently un-defeated and fi rst in the league. Th e boys have de-feated every team in their zone by at least 40 points. Good luck boys! March is also busy for the C.H.A.N.G.E. group in

our school. Th ey are hold-ing a School Survivor Event as well as the Community Benefi t. Th e Benefi t will feature Ms. Lois McGill-horn as a guest speaker plus live and silent auc-tions and desserts. Th is is C.H.A.N.G.E.’s main fund-raiser, and everyone is en-couraged to buy a ticket and come out for the afternoon! Please see the ad in this edi-tion of Th e Minnedosa Tri-bune for dates and times as well as to fi nd out where to get your C.H.A.N.G.E. Ben-efi t tickets. Still to come in March are the start of badminton practices and lots of excit-ing and fun student council events, including green day and cookie eating contests.

Eye on MCI

Our sympathy is ex-tended to Jamesy St.

John and other relatives on the recent loss of her cous-in, Iris Perrin, nee Murray, of Napanee, ON. Iris was in her 90’s and was out and about until two days before her passing. Iris grew up

in Basswood and will be remembered by several in the area. Many of the Cadurcis families are sitting watch-ing curling these winter days. First there were the Scotties and now this week the Tim Horton Briar in Edmonton. Doug and Karen

Northam and their entire family have returned from a trip to Disney World in Florida. Temperatures av-eraged at about 33 degrees celcius. Get well wishes to Marie Fawcett who has recently been “under the weather”.

Bryce Stephenson (de-fence), Kyle Wahoski

(centre), and Wyatt Rapsky (forward/left wing) went to represent the Minnedosa Chancellors at the High School All Star Game on February 10th in Hamiota. Coached by Neepawa High School Coaches Mike Ad-ams and Landon Camer-on, the team lost in a shoot out. We had an email con-versation this week to re-cap the game, and review other important topics:

KS: How long have you been playing hockey?

Kyle: For 10 years since I was 6 years old.

Wyatt: I’ve been in skates ever since I can re-member, started playing minor hockey when I was 4.

Bryce: I have been playing for 12 years.

KS: When you are not playing hockey, what are you doing?

Wyatt: If it’s not hock-ey. I’d be doing probably another sport, hanging out with friends or my girl-

friend. Bryce: When I am

not playing hockey, I en-joy hanging out with my friends.

KS: Have you played in an all star game before? If so, which one(s)?

Kyle: Haven’t played in one before.

Wyatt: I played in last year’s all star game in Vird-en.

Bryce: I also played in the 2012 WHSHL All-star game held in Virden.

KS: Tell me about a play that you really loved, or really hated from the all star game, with as much detail as possible.

Kyle: Hated when the other team scored with a minute left to tie the game. Th en they scored in a shoot out.

Wyatt: It was a great game, we had a lot of chances but couldn’t fi nd the back of the net, all and all great experience.

Bryce: Th e thing that I hated from the all star game was when the other team scored with three seconds left to tie the

game, it sucked being so close to winning then hav-ing that happen.

KS: Were there any weird dynamics with play-ers from rival teams that you were playing with?

Kyle: No Wyatt: I’m pretty good

buddies with all the guys that were on my team. Th ere might be one or two that I may not see eye to eye with but they were all pretty good guys.

Bryce: It was diffi cult fi nding chemistry with players from other teams, but it was fun playing with some of my friends from other teams.

KS: What were you prepared for about the game? What were you not prepared for?

Kyle: Everything we expected.

Wyatt: Th ere was lots of skill out there so you had to be on your A game and give it your all at all times. Although the physical-ity and intensity might of been down a little it was still real great.

Bryce: I was pretty prepared for what to ex-pect since I played in this game last year, but you’re never 100 percent sure what the game is going to be like.

KS: Is there anything you wish you had done dif-ferently at the game?

Kyle: Score. Wyatt: You always

look back on a game wish-ing you would have done a few things diff erently, whether it’s making that nice pass or burying that puck.

Bryce: No, there wasn’t anything that I wish I had done diff erently at the game. I was pretty happy with how the game went even though we lost in a shoot-out. I think ev-eryone had lots of fun and it was a great experience.

KS: What went really well at the game/what was the best part?

Kyle: Fun game to play.

Wyatt: I just enjoyed chatting with the guys and playing on a team with lots of skill.

Bryce: It was a really close game, so that was great for the fans. It also went to a shoot out which was pretty cool because I don’t think that has hap-pened often.

KS: What’s next in

terms of hockey for you? Kyle: Neepawa Na-

tive’s Spring Camp.Wyatt: Nothing re-

ally planned, probably just play with the bombers.

Bryce: In terms of hockey I hope to make a good run in playoff s, and see what happens after that.

KS: If Bryce, Wyatt and Kyle were in a rock paper scissors tournament, who would win, and why?

Wyatt: Well me of course. Just kidding, I think it’s be a pretty fair battle.

KS: What is your pre game meal?

Kyle: Pasta and Chick-en.

Wyatt: My ideal pre game meal would consist if chicken and pasta but it tends to be just pasta.

Byrce: My pre game

meal is usually some kind of pasta.

KS: Who’s your favou-rite team?

Kyle: Philadelphia . Wyatt: Calgary Flames

since birth. Bryce: Montreal Ca-

nadiens.KS: Who’s your favor-

ite player? Kyle: Stamkos. Wyatt: Sidney Crosby. Bryce: Shea Webber.KS: Finish the follow-

ing sentence: Now that the NHL lockout is over…

Kyle: I watch the Jets play!

Wyatt: Now that the lockout is over you might catch me sitting infront of the TV a little more!

Another snow day left most of the schools in this area closed, as March coming in like a lion was slightly de-layed, arriving on March 4th. It’s always better if March goes out like a lamb! Newdale United Church hosted the annual Day of Prayer on March 5th. Th e women of all local denomina-tions joined together to celebrate this event with prayers, readings and hymns. Th e program this year was prepared by the women of France, with the theme being “I was a stranger and you welcomed me”. Th e world Day of Prayer off ering supports project grants to benefi t women and children around the globe. Th ere are eight of Canada’s 10 provinces that benefi ted from some of these grants, deal-ing with homelessness, survivor crisis centers, outreach programs and aboriginal healing projects. A social time over coff ee followed the program. Daylight saving time arrives early next Sunday morn-ing, March 10th, so don’t forget to put your clocks “ahead”, remember, we “spring” ahead in March and “fall” behind in November! It boosts the spirits when it’s still daylight after supper! Glad to hear that Gaylene Stimpson got home from Brandon Hospital, we wish you healthy times ahead.

Since 1983, the Strath-clair Drama Club has

annually presented mu-sicals that transport au-diences to another time and place. Th ese musicals draw people in with engag-ing characters, memorable music, beautiful costumes, and sets and props that make you feel like you are there. Th is year’s musical is sure to transport you back to a simpler time for an evening, a time when life was slower and simpler. Th e 2013 production, Anne and Gilbert, is based on Lucy Maud Montgom-ery’s second and third books in the Anne of Green Gables series. Th ose who are familiar the series will enjoy seeing many of the original characters from the novels in this produc-tion. Act One is based on Anne Of Avonlea (Book

Two), while Act Two is based on Anne of the Is-land (Book Th ree). Th e production will be pre-sented at the Bend Th eatre in Strathclair from April 15th to 20th. At the beginning of the fi rst act, Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe have recently fi nished teacher training and are waiting to see which school they will get for the next year. Gil-bert has been given Avon-lea School, but decides to give the school to Anne so she can stay close to home to look after Marilla Cuth-bert, her adoptive mother. As the story progress-es, Anne’s best friend, Di-anna Barry and her beau, Fred Wright become en-gaged and then married. Gilbert has been in love with Anne since child-hood, but she only con-siders him as a friend. He is adored by all of the

young women of Avonlea, but none of these admir-ers hold a candle to Anne. Gilbert proposes to Anne, but he meets with rejec-tion from Anne. Th ereaf-ter, Josie Pye decides make a move on Gilbert, but he rejects her in turn. Avonlea’s busybody, Rachel Lynde becomes a widow, and decides to move to Green Gables to live with Marilla. Th is al-lows Anne to realize her dream of attending Red-mond University. Th e second act takes place primarily at Red-mond College. Anne and Gilbert have both given up their schools to pursue higher education. Th ere, Anne strikes up a friend-ship with Phillipa Gordon. Phillipa is desperate to be-friend a girl, as she is con-stantly followed around by Alex and Alonzo, her two “beaus”. Anne also meets

millionaire Roy Gardener and they begin to date. At a dance, Anne goes with Roy, and Gil-bert brings Josie Pye from Avonlea. Gilbert is sure that it will make Anne jealous. After the dance, Roy proposes marriage to Anne, but she rejects him. Gilbert then gives Anne three letters as an early birthday gift. Th e letters left behind by her parents before they passed away. Th e gift makes Anne real-ize that she truly does love Gilbert. For ticket information, please see ad in this week’s edition.

Registration Deadline March 30

By ELMER KASKIW

With the expansion of soybean acres and

some renewed interest in growing fi eld peas this spring there have been numerous inquiries com-ing forward regarding the growing of these crops on canola stubble. Th is rota-tion has emerged or has been necessitated due to tighter canola rotations, the relatively lower profi t-ability of cereal crops in the rotation and the higher price of nitrogen fertilizer. Th e advantage of

growing these crops on canola stubble begins with a darker and typically drier warmer soil environment. Both of these conditions allow for quick emergence under adequate moisture conditions with a reduced incidence of root rot. Root rot is a concern when these crops are seeded on heavy cereal stubble and then are inundated with heavy rain and excess moisture. When under these types of conditions the plants are also more sensitive to any additional stresses such as herbicide application.

Another signifi cant advantage to this rotation is that canola producer’s utilizing Roundup Ready Technology have been able to do a good job of controlling a large per-centage of their perennial weed problems. Control-ling perennial weeds prior to growing these crops is critical since there are no control options available in the year of production. Volunteer Roundup Ready canola can be controlled by the imidazolinone group of herbicides in peas and with the product Heat

as a pre-seed burn off in soybeans. Th e concern to date with this rotation is phos-phate availability. Canola has a high phosphate uti-lization so reduced levels of phosphate are often found after canola. Th is is complicated even fur-ther by the fact that very little phosphate can be applied at seeding in the case of both peas and soy-beans. In addition canola is a non-mycorrhizal crop which means that there maybe reduced levels of phosphate available to the

developing seedling which may slow emergence. Th is means that in most cases front loading this rotation with high levels of phos-phate is necessary in order to ensure adequate levels of residual phosphate are available for the pea or soybean crop. If levels are not suffi cient this spring then begin front loading on crops where you may consider growing these crops in 2014. Diseases to date have not been a major issue. Sclerotinia has the greatest potential in aff ecting pro-duction on canola stubble. Since both fi eld peas and soybeans are more up-right crops for much of the growing season they al-

low for better airfl ow and lower humidity through-out the canopy. Sclerotinia disease pressure will be more heavily infl uenced by lodging and weather conditions then by rota-tion. Presently there are no registered fungicide treat-ments for sclerotinia in these crops. In summary peas or soybeans can be grown successfully on canola stubble however care must be taken to ensure ade-quate soil phosphate levels are present. Th is in most instances requires a front loading or building of soil phosphate levels prior to the canola crop typically in the cereal portion of the rotation.

Household hints and substitutionsHi Reena, What is the best way to store broccoli? Menno

Dear Menno, Refrigerate fresh broccoli in a plastic bag, use within three days of purchase since the vitamin content decreas-es the longer it is stored. Or, stand broccoli in a jar with water to keep it fresh longer. Kitchen Secret: Take the rub-ber band off vegetables before storing; they will last twice as long.

Dear Reena, My son had an old car that left grease stains on our cement carport and I have tried everything to clean it do

you have any suggestions? Stella

Dear Stella, You can purchase products formulated for cleaning concrete. Th e following are other options, always wear eye and skin protection when using chemicals. Option 1: Bleach, dilute as the directions indicate for cleaning. Let the solution sit on the stained area for several minutes,

then scrub and rinse. Option 2: T.S.P.: Dilute one cup in one gallon of hot water. Pour it on the area and let it sit for 15 minutes. Scrub with a stiff brush. Rinse off with hose and repeat if needed. Option 3: Muriatic acid is not a stain remover or cleaner. Th e acid actually etches away the concrete itself, and sometimes the stain as well. You will need to scrub and rinse this chemical also. Follow the directions carefully. Use muriatic acid only if you seal the driveway with masonry sealer afterwards. Remember that you will be altering the level of the surface if you re-move a lot of material. If you use a pressure washer, make sure you have the right nozzle. A jet that is too powerful can damage concrete. Use a nylon scrub brush.

Fabulous Tips of the Week Cotton sheets (especially high thread count Egyptian, Sateen etc.) come out of my dryer very creased. By acci-dent, I discovered that if I make the bed with damp fi lled sheet, and leave open to dry, the creases disappear! Th en I can put the damp top sheet over the dry fi tted sheet and tuck the sides in tightly (like in hotels). Putting the damp pillowcases on the pillows and hanging them from a pant hanger with strong clips until dry works great too!

TENDERS

Darrell Victor VaughanOctober 20, 1969 – February 14, 2013

Darrell Victor Vaughan passed away suddenly on Th ursday, February 14, 2013 in Brandon, Manitoba. Darrell was born on October 20, 1969 in Erickson. He was born with a condition known as spina bifi da and so was quickly transferred to Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg. Over the years there would be many more trips to Children’s Hospital and to the Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children. Still, Darrell managed to have a fairly normal life having fun with his siblings on the family farm. Out of the six Vaughan children, Darrell was the one with the best smile and the most contagious laugh, traits he shared with anyone who came in contact with him. Darrell completed his schooling in nearby Erickson, graduating in 1989. Darrell eventually moved to Brandon where he completed a practicum in business education at Cambrian Business College in 1992. His independence and ability to contribute to his community were very important to Darrell and so he gave almost 20 years to volunteering at Brandon’s YMCA. Th ere he met and touched the lives of numerous people. Darrell’s favourite activities included spending time with friends, listening to country music and reading. Darrell was still a teenager when he became an uncle, a title which he held in the utmost of importance. Each and every one of his nephews, nieces and great-nieces held a special place in the heart of “Uncle Darrell” and he felt the loss deeply of his fi rst great-nephew, Matthew Benoit (November 2005). Left to mourn the passing of Darrell are his parents, Wilfred and Veronica Vaughan of Erickson and his fi ve siblings, brother Donald (Donna) of Erickson and their sons Derrick (Natalie) and Devin of Minnedosa and Devin’s special friend Nicky Fayant of Brandon; sister, Darlene (Staff ord) Shewchuk and their three children, Corrine (Steven) Benoit, girls Jada and Jessica of Brandon, Jennifer (Richard) Brown, girls Hanna and Taylor of Rivers and Stephan Shewchuk and special friend Michelle Truijen of Brandon; sister Della (Steven) Friesen and their daughters Mikaela and Renee of Morden; brother Darrin and his partner Sherri Th eis of Medicine Hat; and sister, Daidre (Ian) Gent and their children Kendall and Madeline of Calgary, Alberta. Darrell is also survived by his aunts and numerous cousins. Also left to feel the void of Darrell’s passing are his many friends. Th ese friends held a special place in Darrell’s heart and so will continue to hold a special place in the hearts of his family. Darrell was predeceased by his grandparents, numerous a unts a nd u ncles, o ne c ousin a nd a g reat-nephew. A memorial service was held at Brockie-Donovan Chapel on February 22, 2013. A private family interment will be held at a later date. Donations in Darrell’s memory may be made to the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities. We miss you Darrell. Rest in peace. (x)

I would like to thank everyone in my ten towns that I do who shovel or snowblow me a trail to the hydro meter. With all this snow, is it ever a pleasure to have a trail to the meter. But there is one lady in Sandy Lake, Vicky Rich-coon that I really would like to thank. She not only shov-eled me a path to her meter but also to her neighbour’s meter. So thank you people, I really appreciate it and to the people that always say they are going to but don’t (Gord) maybe next year. ~Th ank you, Rhonda, Mani-toba Hydro Meter Reader. (x)

Th e family of the late Darrell Victor Vaughan would like to thank the many people who helped the family through a very diffi cult time. Th ank you to the staff at Brockie Donovan for your compassionate assistance in making the fi nal arrange-ments for Darrell. Th ank you to Elgin Hall for your guid-ance and beautiful service. We appreciate that you knew Darrell. Th ank you to the caterers at the George Brockie Fellowship Centre who pro-vided the lovely lunch follow-ing the service. Th ank you to everyone who travelled to the service, especially Darrell’s friends and neighbours from the Westman Kiwanis Courts. Your presence meant a great deal. Th ank you to everyone for the messages of condol-ence, cards, phone calls, gifts of food sent to our homes and fl oral tributes. Th is has been a very painful time and we very much appreciate all the support and compassion that we have received. ~Veronica and Wilfred Vaughan and their families. (x)

Patti, Stella and fami-lies would like to thank all the snowmobilers and the Minnedosa Fire Department for the generous donation to the Heart and Stroke Founda-tion in Kirk’s memory. (x)
