Healthy Active Minnedosa
By JENNIFER PAIGE
R
ichardson Pioneer,
who is recognized as a
global leader in agriculture
and food processing, has
recently donated $300,000
to three diferent Canadian
community projects.
Every year, Richard-
son Pioneer makes a point
of giving back to the com-
munities in which its cus-
tomers and employees live
and do business. Te com-
pany donates thousands
of dollars to support local
project and organizations
across the country.
Tis year marked the
companys 100th year in
business and to celebrate
the occasion the Richard-
son Pioneer Century Gifts
Program was created.
Minnedosa Minor
Baseball was one of their
lucky reciprocates of this
program, receiving a
$100,000 donation.
We knew that we had
been in the running for
the past month or so but
of cially heard that we
had been successful last
Wednesday, explained
Terry McLenehan, presi-
dent of Minnedosa Minor
Baseball.
Te program was an-
nounced last spring and
received 145 proposals
from communities across
Western Canada.
Along with supporting
Minnedosa Minor Base-
ball, Richardson Pioneer
also donated $100,000
each to, Falher, Alberta for
the creation of its Honey
Capital Playground and
Whitewood, Saskatchewan
for the creation of its town
water park.
We are very excited to
make a diference in these
three communities and
help create a legacy that
will beneft future gen-
erations, said Curt Vos-
sen, president and CEO of
Richardson International.
It was great to see the tre-
mendous interest in this
program and the spirit and
vitality of the communities
that came through in the
applications.
Minnedosa Minor
Baseball was thrilled with
the donation and plans to
utilize the funds to further
the creation of its two new
baseball diamonds.
Te baseball organiza-
tion just recently complet-
ed construction of the frst
diamond this fall at the
MREC site and were plan-
ning to slowly start con-
struction on the second
come spring.
McLenehan had men-
tioned previous to receiv-
ing this grant that funding
was still needed in order
to complete the second
ball diamond and that the
organization would con-
tinue with construction of
the diamond even if it were
just a grass feld. However,
with the recently acquired
funds the association will
now be able to complete
all aspects of the second
diamond.
As soon as the snow
is gone we will hit the
ground running. With the
assistance of this grant the
second diamond will be
able to be completed and
once we complete that,
we will start to dismantle
the existing diamond and
prepare it to become a full
fedge senior diamond,
explained McLenehan.
Minnedosa Minor
Baseball spent the past
summer months con-
structing the frst diamond
and feel that the creation
of the second diamond will
be easier as they now have
quite a bit of experience
working in the feld.
It helps us quite a bit
now that we have com-
pleted the frst diamond.
As they are twin diamonds,
the second diamond will
be quite similar in creation
as the frst. Construction
should move quicker as we
have a better idea of how
to approach everything
and have a better idea of
exactly what we are work-
ing on and how its going to
go, said McLenehan.
An exciting develop-
ment in Minnedosa recre-
ation, the outcome of this
funding will certainly be
able to be utilized by the
community in the coming
years.
Tis was a lot of
money, but we are still go-
ing forward with our other
applications and fundrais-
ing eforts as even with
the donation we will be a
few thousand short of our
goal. But we are defnitely
getting dangerously close
to having all of the funds
needed to complete the
project, added McLene-
han.

n early October, Manitoba Hydro announced its
plans to close a number of rural locations, includ-
ing the Erickson of ce in 2014 and the Minnedosa of-
fce in 2017.
It has since come to light that changes at the
Minnedosa of ce will begin sooner than expected.
A letter, dated October 30th from Manitoba Hy-
dro Customer Service operations states that as of Jan-
uary 15th, 2014 services including bill payments and

Rivers Edge voting
Over a two week voting period for the Aviva fund-
ing opportunity, Minnedosas Rivers Edge Park received
over 1,000 online votes. Tis put the local project in 39th
place and unfortunately means Rivers edge will not be
eligible for funding through the promotion. However, lo-
cal volunteers appreciate all who voted and helped raise
awareness of this project. Local fundraising eforts, such
as the raf e and telethon continue!
Walkers be visible
I have heard a few concerns from motorists about
people not being visible when out walking or jogging.
When going out for a walk or jog, especially in the early
morning or late evening when darkness falls, wear bright
coloured or refective clothing so that you are visible to
passing motorists. Its a quick and easy solution to avoid
a possible tragedy.
Volunteer garbage pickers
I understand there are a few local residents who
regularly clean up garbage from the former Rocco site,
across from the Husky Service Centre. Although there is
now a garbage can on site, it is unfortunate that people
are still making the careless decision to just drop their
garbage on the ground while at that site. To those re-
sponsible for this, shame on you for not taking the few
extra seconds to dispose of your garbage in the can pro-
vided. To those who regularly clean up the site and help
our community look neat and tidy thank you for your
dedication!
Dear Editor,
I
t would appear that the
NDP will not rest un-
til rural Manitoba has no
services left, even when
they are paying record
amounts of taxes to fund
them. Te latest attack on
the fabric of rural Manito-
ba is the closure of 24 Hy-
dro of ces, including the
of ces in Morris, St. Pierre
Jolys, Roblin, Minnedosa,
Shoal Lake, Erickson and
Altona.
Tis is a government
that has promised time
and again that they are
committed to what mat-
ters most to Manitoba
families. Manitoba fami-
lies want and deserve eq-
uitable access to services
no matter where they live.
Closing government of-
fces and raising taxes are
not the things that matter
most to Manitoba fami-
lies.
Tree things are clear:
a government that is com-
mitted to raising taxes to
fund their political proj-
ects, a government that
is committed to 192 com-
municators to spin false
messages, and a govern-
ment that is committed to
taking services away from
rural Manitoba is not a
government that deserves
your vote.
Sincerely,
Clif Graydon,
MLA for Emerson
CTF SUBMISSION
T
he Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has is-
sued a new report calling for changes to the Em-
ployment Insurance (EI) system that would allow Ca-
nadians to keep the money they and their employers
pay in EI taxes in a personal unemployment account.
Ottawa is using Employment Insurance as a
cash cow, said CTF Federal Director Gregory Tom-
as. Tey collected $3.3 billion more in EI tax last
year than they paid out in benefts, and their latest
forecast says they expect to collect $4.2 billion more
this year.
Under the CTF plan, EI contributions would not
go into government cofers, but into personal un-
employment accounts, that could be accessed if the
worker became unemployed. If at the time of retire-
ment there was money left over in their unemploy-
ment account, it would stay with the employee as
their own retirement savings.If youre a frequent EI
claimant, youre going to have to make your EI sav-
ings go further, or youre going to have to fnd work,
continued Tomas. And if youre rarely without
work, you would have a nice little nest egg once you
retire.
Te CTF report, titled Unmasking Employment
Insurance: How EI Increases Unemployment and
Steals Billions from Working Canadians also shows
that EI is widely abused by frequent claimants, and
grossly unfair to workers in cities, especially in On-
tario, British Columbia and Alberta.Workers in On-
tario, Alberta and B.C. and their employers paid $103
billion more into EI than they collected in EI benefts
between 1981 and 2009, said Tomas. Meanwhile
workers in Newfoundland and Labrador collected
$14 billion more than they put in.
Tax information from rural Newfoundland and
Labrador between 2008 and 2010, reveals that 89 per
cent of working-age tax flers reported EI income on
their tax returns, compared to 10 per cent in Estevan,
SK. Statistics from the federal department of Em-
ployment and Social Development also show 62 per
cent of EI claimants in Newfoundland and Labrador
made at least three claims in the past fve years, com-
pared to eight per cent in Alberta.
Ottawa keeps telling Canadians to save more
for retirement, said Tomas. If the government got
its hands out of the pockets of working Canadians,
a gainfully employed couple each earning $47,400 a
year could save a $67,000 nest egg in ten years from
keeping the EI contributions that are taxed away
from them now.
Rather than hiking CPP taxes, as some Pre-
miers are suggesting, why not let Canadians keep the
thousands in EI taxes they already pay and never see
again, concluded Tomas.
Let Canadians save their EI contributions

ayor Orr presided over the regular meeting to
Minnedosa Town Council on the evening of Tues-
day, November 12th. All councillors were in attendance.
Council welcomed Bob Manns from the Minnedosa
Community Complex Board, who brought an update
on recent happenings and future plans for the complex.
Manns also presented an $8,000 cheque as part of the
boards ongoing payback to the Town for its fnancial
loan on various maintenance and improvement proj-
ects over the years. He indicated that some $12,000 is
still outstanding to be paid of to the Town.
Last year, the board completed an addition of a
storage space on the south side of the building as well
as installing a new sewage disposal system which has
aided in alleviating the sewage smell that plagued the
basement of the facility for many years.
As for upcoming complex projects, Manns is cur-
rently working on a grant application for funding to as-
sist with the purchase and installation of a more power-
ful air conditioning unit for the kitchen to help fght the
heat during the summer months.
Another funding application is in the works for the
possible installation of a concrete pad on the exterior
east side of the curling rink.
As it was deemed a conf ict of interest, Council-
lors Wedgewood and Skatch excused themselves from
the meeting as Council gave frst reading to a bylaw
to amend an earlier bylaw to re-fnance the outstand-
ing amount of $1,729,558.20 to bear interest at a rate of

T
he R.M. of Harrison
hosted a public meet-
ing at the Newdale Com-
munity Hall on the evening
of Wednesday, November
13th to provide ratepayers
with amalgamation op-
tions available to the mu-
nicipality.
Deputy Reeve Doreen
Stapleton and Councillor
Bruce Dalgarno presented
a timeline of happenings
since the provincial gov-
ernment announced its
intent for municipalities
with a population less than
1,000 residents to amal-
gamate back in Novem-
ber 2012. Possible options
for the R.M. of Harrison,
which has a population of
864, were also presented.
In February 2013 Har-
rison councillors met with
the Town of Erickson, and
R.M.s of Clanwilliam, Park
and Strathclair in an in-
formal meeting to discuss
possible amalgamation
options. In July, Harrison
hosted another meeting
with all neighbouring mu-
nicipalities and following
that meeting Harrison sent
an amalgamation proposal
to the above mentioned
municipalities. From this
proposal, Harrison was
informed that the Town of
Erickson and R.M. of Clan-
william were investigating
their own amalgamation.
No replies were received
from the R.M. of Park or
Strathclair at that time.
Harrison also contacted
the R.M.s of Blanchard
and Saskatchewan as well
as the Town of Rapid City
regarding possible amal-
gamation. From this, Har-
rison learned that those
three southern municipal-
ities were considering their
own amalgamation.
On October 31st, the
R.M. of Harrison received
a letter from the Minis-
ter of Municipal Govern-
ment, Stan Struthers. Also
included was a amalga-
mation plan from the
province grouping the
R.M. of Harrison as one of
six municipalities in one
mega municipality. Other
municipalities named in
the governments plan in-
cluded the Town of Rapid
City with a population of
417, the R.M. of Saskatch-
ewan with a population of
570, the R.M. of Blanchard
with a population of 526,
the R.M. of Strathclair with
a population of 744, the
R.M. of Park with a popula-
tion of 935. Together, with
the R.M. of Harrison this
six municipality proposed
amalgamation would re-
sult in one large munici-
pality with a total com-
bined population of 4,056.
T e governments plan
noted the municipal of ce
for this large municipality
would be located in the vil-
lage of Newdale.
Struthers letter also
indicated the opportunity
for the involved R.M.s to
submit an alternate plan.
Te government will only
consider an alternate plan
if all six named municipal-
ities have at least one part-
ner to amalgamate with to
ensure no one is left out.
On November 5th, the
R.M. of Park passed a reso-
lution indicating its inter-
est in amalgamating with
the R.M. of Harrison. Also
on this day, the R.M. of
Blanchard informed Har-
rison of its intentions to
move forward with amal-
gamation with the R.M. of
Saskatchewan and Town of
Rapid City.
If the R.M. of Strath-
clair agrees to join the
R.M.s of Harrison and Park
in amalgamation, the three
will jointly submit that
proposal to the govern-
ment for review.

R
olling River School Di-
vision has made a sub-
stantial investment in its
future, spending 1.25 mil-
lion on fber optics instal-
lation through Westman
Communications creating
a wide-area network in the
division.
For 1.25 million dol-
lars Westman Communi-
cations have put fber in
the ground which connects
all of our schools, except
our four colony schools
and Oak River Elemen-
tary which are operating
on wireless because they
dont have as much traf c,
explained Reg Klassen,
Rolling River School Divi-
sion superintendent.
Previous to this invest-
ment Rolling River School
Division had been operat-
ing on a wireless network,
but found it to be limiting
and hard to rely on. Te
division also faced cost in-
creases every time they re-
quired more space within
the wireless environment.
We were utilizing a
wireless option that didnt
give us very much connec-
tivity. We knew, given the
direction things were go-
ing in our schools, we were
going to need something
that would give us a bet-
ter connection that has the
capacity to carry a lot more
traf c, said Klassen. We
just could not continue
with the wireless process.
We have gone from 5-10
mega bites in our schools
to 1 gigabyte (1000 mega
bites) of capacity with the
option of increasing that.
With the new wide
area-network, Internet
service to the schools has
increased in speed, reli-
ability as well as opened up
a number of options that
were not available through
the wireless network.
As a division we have
tried really hard to put to-
gether a package which
sees us well into the future,
gives us a whole lot of se-
curity as well as meets any
needs we can envision for
the future in terms of con-
nectivity. We have also
been able to begin install-
ing a unifed communica-
tion system, which means
new phones on every sin-
gle teacher desk, improved
level of communication
and increased security in
our buildings.
Rolling River School
Division reached an agree-
ment with Westman Com-
munications in 2012 after
a careful planning process
that oversaw a number of
diferent proposal options.
Now Rolling River
School Division and West-
man Communications
have two signed agree-
ments. One for $1.25 mil-
lion where Westman Com-
munications will install the
fber optics connecting the
division and the second
being a 10-year service
contract which comes with
two, fve-year renewable
contracts.
Tis whole process
has been very careful. We
arranged to have a consul-
tant work with us and we
explored numerous op-
tions before proceeding.
As a division we are quite
pleased with how we have
moved forward, added
Klassen.
While the installa-
tion cost may seem pricey,
Klassen notes that a num-
ber of school divisions
across the province have
also made the switch from
wireless service to a wide-
area network. We have
actually made an arrange-
ment at a lower cost given
our geographical span
compared to others.
Te majority of the
initial installation cost of
$1.25 million has come
from a reserve that the
school board has been
building for a number of
years in preparation of
having to make a signif-
cant investment in this
area.
Tat is quite a bit of
money committed to this
kind of a project and so
these decisions are not
made lightly, noted Klas-
sen.
Looking to the future,
this investment will even-
tually catch up with the
previously projected wire-
less options and in ap-
proximately ten years, the
division will begin to save
money on Internet service
costs.
Te impact on the
budget is that we are pay-
ing less for Internet con-
nectivity and we now have
more space. When we cal-
culate the installation and
the rental over the course
of time, at about 10 years
we begin to save quite a bit
of money. Tere are some
real long-range economi-
cal wins for us in the future
with this arrangement,
said Klassen.
According to the con-
tract with Westman Com-
munications, fber optics
installation will be com-
pleted by December 2014.
A number of Rolling River
schools are already con-
nected to the new wide-
area network, including
Douglas, Forrest, Rivers
and Minnedosa schools.
Westman Communi-
cations is currently con-
tinuing to work to connect
schools in Rapid City by
July 2014, Erickson by Oc-
tober 2014 and Onanole by
December 2014.
Tis really changes
the landscape of education
in our classrooms. It opens
up the world in a way that
hasnt happened before.
And education now is no
longer conf ned to that
hour in the classroom, it
brings the world into the
classroom with unlimited
availability to students,
commented Klassen.

Atoms
By GARY TOPHAM
T
he Minnedosa Atom
Bombers travelled
to Portage la Prairie over
the past weekend for a
three day tournament.
Tis tournament brought
teams from as far away as
Tompson, Moosomin,
Kenora and many Red
River Valley teams.
Friday afternoon, the
Atoms played their frst
game against the AA team
out of Tompson. T e
Atoms hung in with the
much bigger and faster
Tompson team for the
frst period, but could not
keep it up and Tomp-
son ended up winning by
a few goals. Congratula-
tions to Bryden McFar-
lane for scoring the lone
Minnedosa goal and to
Daylan Hunter for a strong
game in net and being
awarded the digger award.
Saturday morning
saw the Atoms play one
of the local Portage Atom
teams. Our Atom team
came out strong, but had
a hard time fnding a way
to beat the Portage goal-
keeper. Tis was a much
closer game than the fnal
score of 11-3 for Portage.
Scoring for Atoms were:
Cole Topham 1 G, 1 A,
Chase Miller 1 G, Callie
McGuire 1 G, Victor Lamb
1 A, Brooklyn Hedley 1 A,
and Bryden McFarlane 1
A. Digger award went to
Robert Tomlinson.
Te Atoms did not
play again until after sup-
per, which gave them the
whole afternoon in the
pool. Te team bonding
in the pool did wonders
as the Atoms played one
of their best games of the
year vs. the Altona team.
Tis was a fast paced, ex-
citing game with each
team getting over 30 shots
on net. Emma Austin net-
ted her f rst goal of the
year, late in the third to
seal a 4-2 win. Daylan
Hunter had a strong game
in net stopping just about
everything Altona threw
at him. Also scoring for
Minnedosa were: Cole
Topham 2 G, Chase Miller
1 G, and assists to Victor
Lamb, Robert Tomlinson,
Bryden McFarlane and
Austin Taylor. Emma Aus-
tin got the digger award.
Sunday we were lucky
enough to wake up to
closed roads and iced up
vehicles for the second
year in a row at this tour-
nament. Atoms played
against Teulon on the D
side f nal. Teulon team
came ready to play and
scored twice in the frst
three minutes of the game.
Minnedosa fought back
hard, but could not fnd a
way to beat the hard, back
checking Teulon forwards.
Eventually we were able to
climb back into the game
but a little too late. Teu-
lon won by a score of 7-2.
Scoring for Minnedosa
were Bryden McFarlane
and Cole Topham. Cole
Cibula had a great game
in net and was awarded
the digger award.
Congratulations to
the Minnedosa Atoms for
a fun flled weekend at the
rink and around the pool!

15th the Peewee 12s saw

ber 15th against the Mc-
Creary Mustangs. A prior
match up netted a win for
Minnedosa. With only
a minute into the game
Lucas Beatty scored for
Minnedosa. McCreary
scored early in the third
to make the score 3-2 for
the home town team. Te

Te second game took
us on a road trip to Dau-
phin. Dauphin opened up
the scoring in the frst pe-
riod. Te second period
Colin Robinson replied
for Minnedosa tying the
game at one at the end of
the second period. Ten
early in the third, Zane
MacDonald scored to put
Minnedosa ahead 2-1.
With six minutes left Dau-
phin scored . It was a nail
biter for the fnal fve min-
utes and the fnal score
was tied at two. Tender for

Bantams
By CRISSY KOWAL
M
innedosas Bantams
had only one game
on the schedule this past
weekend as Brandons
Heritage Co-op Wild trav-
elled to town on Saturday,
November 16th. Te home
team came out a little fat
and couldnt seem to fnd
the spark they needed to
get them into the game.
Pucks that didnt seem to
want to bounce their way,
missed chances, a strong
opponent and a bit of pen-
alty trouble resulted in a
5-0 loss for Te Bombers.
No points to report with
Joe Lane putting in a good
efort in net. Heads up
team - well be ready for
them next time! With no
regular season games on
the schedule this week-
end the team has entered
a three-day tournament
in Russell with their frst
action taking place on the
ice tomorrow (Saturday)
morning vs. the tourna-
ment hosts.

R
olling River School Di-
vision recently signed
a new collective agreement
with the teacher associa-
tion that will see a bonus
for local teachers.
On November 15th,
Rolling River School Di-
vision announced that it
had come to a fnal agree-
ment with the Rolling Riv-
er Teachers Association.
And while the contract is
almost identical to every
other division contract in
the province, Rolling River
teachers will be receiv-
ing a bonus that no other
teachers in Manitoba will
receive.
Tis was the last agree-
ment to be settled in the
province and was complet-
ed only two days before go-
ing to arbitration. Te sign-
ing of the documents came
41-months after the previ-
ous agreement lapsed. Te
four-year contract will run
from July 2010 to June 30,
2014.
Te contract stipulates
details in a number of dif-
ferent areas, but the most
notable change for teach-
ers comes in the form of
salary grid alterations.
An additional 0.4 per-
cent was built into the
contract, which will be
put towards the salaries
for new teachers starting
out or near the bottom of
the salary grid. Up until
this contract Rolling River
had been the lowest start-
ing salary grid in the re-
gion and with the increase
hopes to develop a more
competitive position to
attract the best possible
teachers.
We will be able to
build more equal steps in
each grid classifcation.
Down the road, this will
allow us to be more proac-
tive with our recruiting,
said Reg Klassen, super-
intendent of Rolling River
School Division.
Teachers will see an
overall increase as of June
30th, 2014, the fnal day of
the contract, which would
amount to a 0.47 per cent
raise.
No other bargain-
ing unit in Manitoba will
receive that salary bump
payable as of teachers frst
paycheque in September
2014, added Daniel Kia-
zyk, president of Rolling
River Teachers Associa-
tion.
Other than those slight
changes to the salary grid,
Rolling Rivers teachers
have agreed to the same
four-year package as every
other teachers association
in Manitoba. A package
that consists of two raises
of 1.5 per cent in the sec-
ond half of 2010, a two per
cent raises in September of
2011, 2012 and 2013.
Trough bargain-
ing, the Division was able
to increase the Divisions
competitive position and
equalize the salary scale
steps all the while main-
taining due fnancial dili-
gence and prudence, stat-
ed RRSD in an information
release.
Along with the f nan-
cial aspect of the agree-
ment the Division had
priorities in achieving a
collective agreement that
established a new lan-
guage around leave ben-
efts, ensuring that teach-
ers are available to parents
and students during school
events like parent teacher
interviews and exams.
Te Division also fo-
cused on ensuring that
teachers would be avail-
able for professional de-
velopment and in-service
days, in order to develop

an integral part of the

A
local Rapid City cou-
ple was recently rec-
ognized for their ongoing
dedication to community
service.
At the 26th annual
Manitoba Association of
Agriculture Societies, Ken
and Myrna Bayes were
acknowledged for their
long-time and ongoing
support in the community,
receiving an Honourary
Life Award from MAAS.
MAAS is an organiza-
tion dedicated to providing
Manitoba agricultural soci-
eties with the vehicles and
opportunities to develop
and promote vital Mani-
toba communities. Teir
2013 conference was fo-
cused on Winning Com-
munities and was held in
Brandon last month.
MAAS notes that Win-
ning Communities are
creative, innovative, inclu-
sive and vibrant and the
citizens are engaged, much
like their honoured guests,
Ken and Myrna Bayes.
Te Bayes are life-long
members of the Rapid City
community. Tey have
lived in the community for
years, farming and rais-
ing their three sons. Tey
are said to be a couple ev-
ery small town dreams of
having in their commu-
nity, strong volunteers and
community members who
are willing to give for the
betterment of the commu-
nity.
Over the years the
couple has been actively
involved in numerous
community organizations
and societies. Ken has
been an active member of
the Rapid City Agriculture
Society since 1964 and has
been instrumental in orga-
nizing and running the lo-
cal fair.
Myrna joined the Ag
Society in 1965 and after
years of involvement, she
took on the roll of secretary
in 1993 and still holds the
position to this day.
In addition to the Ag
Society, Myrna served as
vice chairman of the Mu-
seum board, and as the cit-
izen representative for the
Daly-Saskatchewan recre-
ation board for 14 years.
Both Ken and Myrna
are members of the Rapid
City Stock Car Club, they
are also a part of the board
that began the Rapid City
and District Co-op store,
served with the United
Church, assisted with the
125th celebration of the
R.M. of Saskatchewan, and
helped run the high school
rodeo.
Ken is a founding
member of the 4-H club
and involved on the 4-H
district council, he served
as councilor from 1998 to
2010, and sat on the little
Saskatchewan River Con-
servation District, he is also
highly involved with the
local Seniors for Seniors, li-
brary board, hospital foun-
dation and the Rapid City
Chamber of Commerce.
MAAS was honoured
to present the award to a
very deserving couple that
epitomizes the meaning of
community service.
