T
he Richardson Pioneer
Century Field was of-
fcially opened last Friday,
September 12th. Te new
baseball diamond, located
north of the former rodeo
grounds on the MREC site,
was developed as a re-
sult of a generous grant of
$100,000 through the Rich-
ardson Pioneer Century
Gifts program established
to celebrate the companys
100th anniversary in 2013.
Trough the program, three
communities (one each in
Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) beneftted
for a total investment of
$300,000. Te successful
candidate in Manitoba was
Minnedosa Minor Base-
ball.
Approximately 75 peo-
ple attended the opening
celebration which included
a BBQ and exhibition game
between Minnedosa and
Neepawa Pee Wee base-
ball teams. Not only did the
Minnedosa Pee Wee team
have the honour of playing
the very frst game on Rich-
ardson Pioneer Century
Field but they also walked
away with the felds f rst
winning game, defeating
Neepawa 10-6.
T e ribbon cutting
ceremony included Rich-
ardson Pioneer represen-
tatives Bruce Curle, Gerald
Bryson and Neil Miller as
well as Minnedosa Minor
Baseball representatives
Terry McLenehan, Colleen
Lewis, Krista Dillabough
and Val Dornn. Follow-
ing greetings from Minor
Baseball, Richardson Pio-
neer, Town of Minnedosa,
Minnedosa Chamber of
Commerce and the MREC
committee, local Rich-
ardson Pioneer Manager,
Bruce Curle, cut the large
red ribbon to of cially
open the feld for play. Te
f rst ball was pitched by
MREC committee mem-
ber Bob Graham to kick of
play on the new feld.
Plans are now under-
way for the development
of a second Minor Base-
ball diamond just north of
Century Field.

P
rincipals at Tanners Crossing School stepped up for
a good cause on Friday, September 12th. A few lucky
students got the privilege of dumping two buckets of ice
water on Principal James Sheppard and Vice Principal
Matt Rapsky for the ALS ice bucket challenge.
We gathered up the students following the Terry
Fox Run and did the challenge. It was certainly a chilling
moment but all for a good cause. We have been and are
continuing to gather donations at the school of ce, com-
mented Rapsky.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrigs disease, is a pro-
gressive neuromuscular disease in which nerve cells die
and leave muscles paralyzed. Tere is currently no cure
or efective treatment for ALS and every day, in Canada,
two-to-three people die from the disease.
ALS generally strikes those between the ages of 40
and 70 and eighty percent of those diagnosed die within
two-to-fve years. Currently, there are 2,500- 3,000 people
living with ALS in Canada.
Te Ice Bucket Challenge took of across North
America earlier this year and in Canada, the trend has
raised over $14 million dollars for ALS Canada.
We nominated Reg Klassen, the Rolling River
School Division Superintendent, and he has since com-
pleted the challenge and nominated all of the other
principals in the division, explained Rapsky.
For more information on ALS visit, www.als.ca,
donations can also be made at the of ce at TCS.

A
successful Terry Fox
Run was held again
this year with a number of
Minnedosa residents tak-
ing part on Sunday, Sep-
tember 14th as well as the
students of Tanners Cross-
ing School on Friday, Sep-
tember 12th.
Tere was certainly
good support and great
participation from the
community again this year.
We all had a nice walk and
were lucky to have some
decent weather as well,
commented Kathy Stone,
UCT member and event
coordinator.
Sundays run saw 30
participants come out to
take part and a few more
communi t y members
stopping in for the groups
afternoon barbeque.
We were able to raise
$3,300.00 from donations
as well as the barbeque
proceeds and merchan-
dise sales, added Stone.
Te local UCT chapter
sponsors the annual run
and plans to hold the event
in the community again
next year.
Students at Tanners
Crossing also made the
efort to get moving for a
good cause. At the end of
the school day on Friday,
all of the students from
kindergarten to grade eight
participated in the run.
Ever yt hi ng went
really well. All of the stu-
dents enjoy participating
in this event every year.
We generally raise around
$700.00 every year, com-
mented Matt Rapsky, TCS
Vice Principal.
Te Terry Fox Foun-
dation is responsible for
supporting $20 million in
discovery-based research
each year in Canada and
to date there has been over

O
n September 5th, Spruce Plains
RCMP executed two search warrants
in the R.M. of Odanah and Te Town of
Minnedosa.
Te search resulted in the discovery

grow operation involving 327 marijuana
plants as well as the seizer of approxi-
mately two-pounds of dry marijuana.
David Lyle Hartley, 36, of Minnedosa,
has been charged with several ofences
in connection to the drug bust includ-
ing production of marijuana, possession
of marijuana for the purpose of traf ck-
ing, possession of property obtained by a
crime.

M
innedosa Town
Council met for its
regular meeting on the
evening of Tuesday, Sep-
tember 9th in Council
Chambers. In Mayor Orrs
absence, Deputy Mayor
Wedgewood chaired the
meeting. All other council-
lors were in attendance.
Council accepted a
quotation from Acres In-
dustries Inc. (Acres Emer-
gency Vehicles) of Wawa-
nesa in the amount of
$280,195.67 plus tax for
a new f re truck for the
Minnedosa Fire Depart-
ment. Te order includes a
2015 factory-new Interna-
tional top-control pumper
fre apparatus expected to
be completed by August
2015. Local Fire Chief,
Dallas Brykaliuk and fre-
fghters Parry Burgess and
Mike Kowal have been
and will continue to be in-
volved in the design and
build of the new truck to
ensure it meets the needs
of the local fre depart-
ment. Te Town had bud-
geted $340,000 for a new
fre truck in its Fire Reserve
and after the tendering
process, Acres Industries
was the only company to
submit a quotation.
A public hearing was
held to deal with a clos-
ing of an undeveloped
road and public lane in the
southwest corner of town
required for the residential
subdivision north of Poplar
Park Mobile Home Com-
munity. As Te Town did
not receive any comments
for or against this closure
and no one appeared for
the hearing, Council gave
second and third reading
to bylaw #2537 to close the
road.
Council rescinded a
resolution earlier passed
pertaining to retroactively
charging Town and out
of-town residences lagoon
tipping fees. Tis issue
continues to be worked on
by Te Town and PUB.
As the registered own-
ers of the land being used
for the Stewart Hills Estates
residential subdivision de-
velopment, south of 9th
Avenue S.W., the subdivi-
sion application was ap-
proved with conditions.
Tese conditions include
the approval of any zon-
ing by-law amendments
required for Phase One of
the project, that required
variation orders be granted
and that a public hearing
be held for the discussion
of opening all required
public roads. Watch for
a Tribune update on the
Stewart Hills Estates de-
velopment in the coming
weeks.
In reports, Councillor
Luker indicated that due
to a tremendous decrease
in numbers, the Services
to Seniors Congregate
Meals program has been
suspended until January
at which time it will be re-
evaluated.
Councillor Skatch re-
ported a successful Sum-
mer Reading Program at
the Minnedosa Regional
Library with 81 Kinder-
garten to Grade 6 students
participating. Troughout
the program, the students
read a total of 1,156 books.
Before amalgama tion
occurs, the R.M.s of Minto,
Odanah and Saskatche-
wan have asked Te Town
for a f nal joint council
meeting. Joint meetings
have been something that
has taken place a few times
a year between Te Town
and R.M.s as a chance to
share issues information
pertaining to the area as a
whole.

V
By JOE SCHWARCZ PhD
Director, McGill University
Of ce for Science and Society
Tis is no joke! As soon as I see that phrase pop
up in an email, I know whats coming. Im going to be
warned about some nasty substance that is unraveling
the very fabric of society. Like margarine. It is one mol-
ecule away from plastic, a widely circulating email pro-
claims. Even fies are smart enough to stay away from it.
We also have to be on the lookout for mouldy pancake
mix, which apparently is lying in wait to kill us. Sodium
benzoate, a common preservative, can trigger Parkin-
sons disease. And the MMR vaccine for children? Better
forget it. Trading in mumps, measles or rubella for au-
tism is not an attractive proposition.
Tese warnings, often forwarded by good Samaritans
looking out for our welfare, are generally based on some
sort of misinterpretation of scientifc research, but not
always. Margarine being one molecule away from plas-
tic is just plain nonsense. Plastics are composed of long
molecules called polymers, while margarine is a blend of
fats and water. Tere is no chemical similarity between
the two. In any case, being one molecule away is a to-
tally meaningless expression. Substances are made of
molecules, which in turn are composed of atoms joined
together is a specifc pattern. I suppose one might say
that hydrogen peroxide, H
2
O
2
, is one atom away from wa-
ter, H
2
O, but even this is meaningless. Tat extra oxygen
atom changes the properties of the substance dramati-
cally. Stick your fnger into a bottle of pure hydrogen per-
oxide and you will quickly experience the efect of that
extra oxygen.
Even if margarine had some chemical similarity to
plastic, which it does not, its properties could still be dra-
matically diferent. Slight alterations in molecular struc-
ture can account for very signifcant changes in proper-
ties. As far as fies staying away from margarine goes, I
have yet to see a study confrming the allegation. In any
case, our dietary decisions should not be based on the
dining habits of fies.
I must admit that I do prefer butter over margarine,
but this has nothing to do with plastics or fies. Yes, Im
perfectly aware that butter has more of the bad fats,
but it also has more of the good taste. It comes down to
a matter of quantity. If you are eating so much marga-
rine or butter that the diference in saturated fat content
makes a diference in the ratio of your total saturated to
unsaturated fat intake, well, then you are eating too much
of either one!
Te warning about pancake mix is on a f rmer scien-
tifc footing. Te email refers to a Dear Abby letter in a
newspaper describing a 14-year-old boys severe allergic
reaction after eating pancakes made from a mix that had
been in a pantry for a while. In all probability the reac-
tion was to a mould that had contaminated the mix. Such
reactions are rare but very real. Te scientif c literature
does record a case of a young man who died after eating
pancakes made from a mix that had been sitting open in a
cupboard for two years. But the victim had a history of al-
lergies, including pets, moulds and penicillin. When the
pancake mix was analyzed, a variety of moulds includ-
ing Penicillium, Fusarium, Mucor and Aspergillus were
found. For the vast majority of the population, mould in
old pancake mix is not a life threatening situation. But
in general, it is not a good idea to eat food that has been
sitting around for years. Make pancakes from fresh ingre-
dients. Ten your only worry is whether to top them with
butter or margarine.
Sodium benzoate has been a controversial preser-
vative ever since Dr. Harvey Wileys Poison Squad sat
down to dinner in 1902. Wiley, then chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry, a forerunner to the FDA, enlisted volunteers
to dine on meals laden with some of the food additives
in common use at the time. He became alarmed when
large doses of sodium benzoate caused adverse efects,
but Congress refused to ban the additive after follow up
studies using more realistic amounts of the chemical
failed to reproduce Wileys results. Te controversy over
sodium benzoate reignited recently when Professor Pe-
ter Piper at the University of Shef eld tested the efect of
benzoate on yeast cells and discovered that the preserva-
tive damaged DNA molecules in the mitochondria, the
cells energy producing machinery. Tis kind of damage
has also been seen in Parkinsons disease patients, but
suggestions that the small amounts of benzoate used to
preserve certain foods can cause the disease are way of-
base. And lets remember that benzoate isnt added to
food for the fun of it. It can prevent moulds from growing!
And as we have seen, these can be nasty organisms.
Moulds can be nasty alright, but not as nasty as the
viruses that cause measles, mumps or rubella. Advising
people to shun vaccines that protect against these viruses
is a far more serious business than scaring them about
margarine, pancakes or benzoates. But back in 1998, the
warning appeared to have some substance to it. Dr. An-
drew Wakefeld, along with twelve colleagues, published
a paper in Te Lancet , one of the worlds premier medi-
cal journals, suggesting a possible connection between
autism and the MMR vaccine. Te paper described a
dozen cases in which children had supposedly devel-
oped autistic symptoms shortly after receiving an MMR
vaccine. Controversy erupted almost immediately, with
many parents refusing to allow their children to be vac-
cinated. But when Te London Times launched an inves-
tigation into the afair, a frightening picture emerged. It
turned out that some of the childrens parents had been
recruited for the study by an attorney who was prepar-
ing a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the vaccine, and
that Wakefeld had been personally paid handsomely by
the Legal Services Commission which was also funding
the potential lawsuit against MMR manufacturers.
Te London Times managed to unearth a number
of other irregularities associated with Te Lancet paper,
resulting in ten of the original authors publishing a let-
ter retracting the interpretation of the study and profes-
sional misconduct charges being brought against Wake-
feld by the General Medical Council in Britain. Anyone
deciding against MMR vaccination based on this fawed
study is making a mistake. Coming down with measles,
mumps or rubella is certainly no joke!

Dear Editor,
A
s President of the Association of Manitoba Mu-
nicipalities, I read with interest the Canadian
Federation of Independent Business latest report,
Manitoba Municipal Spending Watch. Te report
suggests municipalities in Manitoba have a spend-
ing problem. As the organization representing all of
Manitobas incorporated municipalities, including
the 24 spotlighted in this report, the AMM fnds the
methodology used in this report to be not only fawed,
but blatantly unfair.
It is an undisputed fact that only eight cents of the
taxes Canadians pay are collected by municipal gov-
ernments, while the other 92 cents are collected by
federal, provincial and territorial government.
With these eight cents municipalities are expected to
continually do more with less. Increasing responsi-
bilities and demands from citizens, combined with
downloading from other orders of government, mean
todays municipal governments are being squeezed
from both ends.
Te report also fails to mention that transfers
from other orders of government can be taken away at
anytime and often require matching funds from local
governments for projects that may or may not match
local priorities.
Interestingly, the report strongly criticizes labour
costs as the primary reason for a perceived rise in mu-
nicipal spending. But at the same time, municipalities
who contract out work in order to try to reduce costs
or operate more ef ciently are criticized. Who wins?
Te report also unfairly paints all municipalities
with the same brush, going so far as to highlight two
northern communities as being the worst ofenders.
Tis is breathtaking in its ignorance, when northern
communities deals with a host of unique challenges
ranging from geographic isolation, transportation,
communication, employment opportunities, social
conditions, infrastructure, and others. Scolding these
municipalities for excessive spending is irresponsi-
ble.
Te fact of the matter is municipalities do have
a problem they are forced to rely on an antiquated
property tax system to pay for local services and any
costs other governments choose to of oad.
It is time for municipal governments to get a fair
share of the taxes collected in this country. So in a
sense, the CFIB report gets one thing right this is an
issue that deserves attention.
Sincerely,
Doug Dobrowolski,
President, AMM
CFIB Report Unfair

T
he Minnedosa Grain
Growing Project re-
cently completed swath-
ing their land and look to
donate the proceeds of the
yield to the Canadian Food
Grains Bank.
Everything went re-
ally well. We had fve com-
bines and three trucks
come out to help. We were
able to swath 110-acres of
canola and got 37 bushel
an acre, explained Neil
Galbraith, chairman of the
Minnedosa Grain Growing
Project. Tere were ten
acres of land that didnt get
harvested as the land was
too wet.
Tis project has been
active in the community
for a number of years, co-
ordinating a patch of land
to seed, grow and harvest
every year. Te proceeds
of the yield are then donat-
ed to the Canadian Food
Grains Bank.
In this initiative the
Federal government
matches the projects do-
nation four-to-one. Last
year the group donated
$12,000. Tis years yield is
estimated to total $30,000
after expenses are paid.
Following the Federal
governments commit-
ment, $120,000 will be do-
nated from the Minnedo-
sa community.
Te Canadian Food
Grains Bank utilizes these
funds to help over 50
countries throughout the
world who are dealing
with famine due to various
issues, such as drought or
confict. T e Bank also
teaches these countries
about conservation, agri-
culture and skills to better
manage their own land.
In April of this year,
the group raised $6,700
during its annual ban-
quet, which was used to-
ward operating costs for
this growing season. Te
land for this season was
graciously donated by
Clint and Les Mofat, lo-
cated on the north side of
6th Avenue N.W.
Te committee is so
appreciative of all the sup-
port from the community,
both in volunteered time
as well as donations of
equipment and product.
Richardson Pioneer has
been very supportive of
the project and even do-
nated supper for all of our
volunteers and committee
members during the day
of swathing, added Gal-
braith.
Anyone who is inter-
ested in getting involved
is encouraged to give me a
call as we are always look-
ing for committee mem-
bers as well as volunteers.

T
he motorcycle restored
as a student project at
Tanners Crossing School
recently found its new
home following a raf e
draw.
On T ursday, Sep-
tember 11th, principal
and project leader, James
Sheppard pulled the win-
ning raf e ticket for the
1975 Yamaha XS 650 Caf
Racer.
T e winner was
Andrew Barbour of Win-
nipeg. I was able to deliver
the bike to him on Satur-
day. As you can guess he
was suitably thrilled and
had followed the project
on our blog, said Shep-
pard.
Interestingly enough,
Barbour actually owned a
similar model of bike back
in the late 1970s, so he will
be able to maintain and
enjoy it for some time.
Te bike had been a
student project for the past
two years, where students
learned about mechanical
restoration.
I intend to start up
our next project as soon
as September gets behind
us, added Sheppard.

T
racking the perfor-
mance of your business
is essential in making good
management decisions.
Over a number of years, this
will show trends on where
the business is going and
hopefully identify issues
before major problems oc-
cur. Its dif cult to change or
fx something efectively if
it hasnt been measured. In
addition to comparing your
own businesss numbers
from year to year, there are
industry benchmarks and
guidelines that can also be
used to see how things stack
up with similar operations.
Te f rst step is com-
pleting a net worth state-
ment every year-end. Its
important to do this at the
same time of year, generally
December 31st. Complet-
ing this statement has the
added beneft of gathering
much of the information
you require for AgriStability,
such as crop and livestock
inventory, accounts pay-
able, deferred income and
receivables and purchased
inputs such as fertilizer. In
basic terms, the statement
identifes your business as-
sets, debt and equity. Its
good to know if you are
gaining equity and whether
its earned or from infation
on assets. Once completed,
there are several fnancial
management measure-
ments that can be deter-
mined.
Solvency is def ned as
having enough asset value
to cover the liabilities of the
business. It can be calculat-
ed in several ways:
1. Debt ratio = total
farm liabilities/total farm
assets, which indicates the
number of dollars of debt
for every dollar of asset val-
ue. Generally a ratio of less
than 0.25 is considered very
strong, a 0.25 to 0.40 ratio is
satisfactory and more than
0.40 is weak.
2. Equity ratio = total
farm equity/total farm as-
sets. Generally a ratio of
more than 0.75 is consid-
ered strong and 0.60 to 0.75
as satisfactory.
3. Leverage ratio = total
farm liabilities/total farm
equity, which is sometimes
referred to as a debt/eq-
uity ratio. Usually a ratio of
less than 0.4 is considered
strong, with a 0.4 to 1.0 as
satisfactory and more than
1.0 considered weak.
Liquidity is def ned as
having enough current as-
sets to cover current liabili-
ties and can be expressed in
several ways:
1. Current ratio = cur-
rent farm assets/current
farm liabilities. A ratio of
more than 1.5 is considered
strong, 1.0 to 1.5 is satis-
factory and less than 1.0 is
weak.
2. Working capital =
current farm assets-current
farm liabilities. Tis calcula-
tion shows how many dol-
lars are available to cover
current debt owing and
what would be left after pay-
ing it. It shows what is avail-
able to operate the business,
so the higher the amount,
the stronger the business.
One last management
measure worth watching is
debt structure. It indicates
how much of the total busi-
ness debt is due in the next
12 months and can indicate
pending cash fow stress on
the business, depending on
the number.
Debt structure ratio =
Current farm liabilities/to-
tal farm liabilities. A ratio
of less than 20 per cent is
considered strong, 20 to 35
per cent is satisfactory and
more than 35 per cent is
considered weak. In other
words, the more total debt
due in the next 12 months
is harder on the business,
though this also depends on
the total amount of debt.
Once completed, this
work will be used to fle
AgriStability and can be
used to complete manage-
ment analysis and trend
analysis on your business.
If some things are going of
track, this is a good way to
identify potential problems
and look into corrective ac-
tion, if required.

O
ur community sends
out sympathy to the
family of David Steven-
son who passed away
last week in Victoria, BC.
David was the eldest of four
children born to Wilf and
Rene Stevenson and grew
up in Newdale. He spent 38
years in the Canadian Mili-
tary, retiring in 2000 as a
Lieutenant-Colonel. Most
of his career was spent
as a paratrooper with the
Canadian Airborne Regi-
ment. He travelled exten-
sively to many parts of the
world on training exercises
and peace-keeping op-
erations. He is survived by
his wife Sharon, brother
Hugh in Ontario and sisters
Pat in Stonewall, MB and
Lorraine (Lori) in Carman,
MB.
Shirley Pederson at-
tended the committal ser-
vice for Martha (Dunn)
MacGill last week, a family
friend from Alexander, MB.
Did you see the pic-
ture of Kalen Hiebert and
his dad Leo fshing, on the
front page of the Brandon
Sun? Kalen is Barb and
Dennis Pedersens grand-
son and a pretty good fsh-
erman already!
Congratulations to
new grandparents Willie
and Lori Voth on the birth
of a grandson. Best wishes
to f rst-time parents Dan
and Becky (Ardiel) Voth
and the aunts, uncles and
cousins who will welcome
him home.
Gwen Lee of Parksville,
BC visited for a day with
Shirley Pederson. Gwens
daughter Carolynne and
John Nickel of Solsgirth,
MB dropped her of on
their way to Brandon, MB
and picked her up later in
the day. She enjoyed meet-
ing with several Newdale
friends and neighbours
over cof ee. Les and Pat
Wood of Rivers, MB visited
with Shirley last Friday eve-
ning.
Friends of Jamesy St.
John were saddened to hear
of her death. Her son Frank
and his family lived in New-
dale for several years in the
1980s.
Many folks were sorry
to hear of the untimely
passing of Barb Cook of
Minnedosa. She had many
faithful Newdale customers
at the Dollar Store and we
were sorry when it closed.
Barb catered Newdales
125th anniversary celebra-
tions in 2010. She always
had a smile for everyone.
We send our sympathy to
her family.
T e United Church
congregation was pleased
to have Dan Jardine take
the sermon last Sunday.
Dan always spends a few
minutes playing his bag-
pipes in front of the ceno-
taph on Main Street.
