T
he long-awaited project to replace the waterline just
north of the Canadian Pacifc railway crossing on
Main Street began Monday morning. A 160 foot span of
steel encased line, running north and south beneath the
crossing was replaced by the Town, CP and a number of
local tradespeople.
Te Town f rst dug up a patch of Main Street north of
the CP crossing to locate the water break in early Octo-
ber 2011. Work was halted when it was discovered that
the break was located under the CP track. As a result, the
Town had to work closely with CP to approve the work
and to ensure it would not afect the rail line at the Main
Street crossing. Te waterline had been shut-of since the
leak was discovered in October as a precaution to not
undermine the rail crossing. Town CAO, Ken Jenkins,
indicated the Town has been extremely impressed with
the co-operation and quick turnaround time of Canadian
Pacifc on this project.

Provincial announcement of funding will not impact RRSD

By AMANDA BOYD
O
n Monday, January
30th, the Manitoba
government announced
its plans to increase fund-
ing for public schools this
year by $25.5 million, or
2.2%. Sound too good to
be true? It is. In fairness,
the government has in-
creased funding by scat-
tering the 2.2% throughout
various categories such
as numeracy and early
literacy. In order to fully
beneft from this increase,
however, school divisions
must be implementing all
the outlined categories.
In recent years, Roll-
ing River School Divi-
sion (RRSD) qualifed for
a guaranteed increase in
funding. Tis year, the di-
vision is guaranteed no
less than the same amount
of funding that it received
last year (formula guar-
antee). Te catch is that
RRSD already has a siz-
able part of its provincial
funding in the formula
guarantee category. Te
current years formula
guarantee (2011/12 school
year) is $803,000. Next
year (2012/13 school year),
the formula
guarantee is
estimated to
be around
$700,000. So
weve made
use of some of
the increased
funding in oth-
er categories
of the funding
formula, but
the formula
guarantee is
so much more
(than the actu-
al increase) that we wont
get anymore, explained
RRSD Superintendent, Reg
Klassen.
For a
school divi-
sion like ours,
the best part
of this fund-
ing agree-
ment is there
is a formula
guarantee to
maintain at
least the same
funding as we
had in previ-
ous years,
he said. Its
never a bad thing when
the Minister of Education
adds money to education.
Tats really positive. In
a society where costs are
ever increasing, they have
worked hard to keep pace
with that.
It is generally felt that
most divisions will be
happy to hear that the Tax
Incentive Grant (TIG) has
been removed from the
funding equation. Te TIG
forced divisions to choose
between it or raising local
taxes, but now that the TIG
is gone communities may
see some divisional and
local taxes go up.
When all is said and
done, then, even though
some of the amounts in
certain grants will change,
RRSD is still going to re-
ceive the same funding
as it did last year. In fact,
when one considers the
ever rising cost of living, it
means the divisions fund-
ing is actually going down.
T is funding an-
nouncement is not going
to signifcantly change
anything in our division,
Klassen reaf rmed. Its
nice that we arent losing
from last year, but its not
changing anything about
how we do our business.
This funding
announcement
is not going to
signifcantly
change anything
in our division

T
own Council met for
its January Committee
of the Whole as well as a
Special Meeting of Council
on the evening of Tuesday,
January 24th. Mayor Orr
presided with Councillors
Taylor, Saler, Skatch, Luker
and MacDowell in atten-
dance. Councillor Wedge-
wood was absent.
Jon Lewis and Scott
Burgess appeared be-
fore council on behalf
of Minnedosa Regional
Events Centre core com-
mittee. Te men presented
MRECs detailed budget
which comes in at a to-
tal cost of $21.8 million,
which was presented at
the recent public informa-
tion meeting. Te funding/
sponsorship committee is
anticipating a three way
split (approximately $7.2
million each) between lo-
cal, provincial and federal
funding. In order to apply
for funding grants, wheth-
er it is Federal, Provincial
or other grant opportuni-
ties, MREC requested a
letter of support from the
Town. For the past three
years, the Town has set
aside $300,000 in an MREC
reserve fund. Tis practice
is expected to continue
which will bring the re-
serve fund to $1.2 million
this year. Fundraising to
date (as of January 31st)
has raised $445,131.00
and the Town is prepared
to take out a long-term
(25 year) debenture for
$3.5 million. Te remain-
ing funds are hoped to be
raised through sponsor-
ship and continued fund-
raising. Following the
delegations presentation,
Council passed a resolu-
tion to continue to endorse
the MREC project, which
will provide ongoing so-
cial, recreational, wellness
and economic benefts to
the community and re-
gion, at a total cost of $21.8
million.
Council approved a re-
quest from Te Minnedosa
Chiropractic Centre to
pursue the installation
of a wheelchair ramp to
its main entrance on the
north side of its new loca-
tion (the rear of the former
MediPlan building at Main
Street and 2nd Avenue
S.W.).
Council accepted, with
regret, the resignation of
Ron Ludwig as the commu-
nitys Emergency Measures
Organization Coordinator.
Ron has agreed to remain
as the interim EMO Coor-
dinator until a new person
can be found to fll the po-
sition. Council directed ad-
ministration to initiate the
process of flling this posi-
tion immediately.
At the invitation of the
CanAlta Hotels, Mayor Orr
and a number of coun-
cillors toured the hotel
chains Mossamin, SK loca-
tion. Mentioned as a high-
light was the extra spacious
rooms, which the delega-
tion felt, would be suitable
to accommodate minor
hockey teams during tour-
naments if CanAlta was to
pursue establishing a hotel
in Minnedosa. Te local
delegation also toured the
new Virden Regional Multi-
purpose Recreation Facil-
ity to get a frst-hand look
at what could be expected
with MREC. A highlight of
this tour, which provided
rave reviews from users,
was the indoor walking
track, which is also being
considered part of MREC.

Councillor Luker indicated
the Minnedosa Commu-
nity Conference Centre
will be undergoing some
renovations this year. As
there have been some is-
sues with the facilitys
wood dance foor, the hall
board has decided to re-
place the dance foor with
tiles, similar to those cur-
rently in place throughout
MCCC. Te countertops in
both the Mens and Ladies
washrooms are also sched-
uled for replacement.
Councillor Skatch in-
formed Council that the
Minnedosa Foundation,
through the Community
Foundations of Canada
has been successful in its
research into the Benja-
min Moore Community
Restoration Program. Tis
project supports heritage
restoration and commu-
nity projects by providing
paint, expertise and fnan-
cial support to successful
applicants. Te Founda-
tion will forward this infor-
mation to the Minnedosa
District Museum and Heri-
tage Village Corp. as a pos-
sible support source for the
upkeep of the buildings at
the Heritage Village. Te
program is also available
to other community proj-
ects which ft its applica-
tion criteria. Pat also indi-
cated that Dean Wareham
has submitted his resigna-
tion from the Minnedosa
Foundation after many
years of dedicated service.
Bruce McNabb will serve
as acting chairman until a
new chairperson is elected
during the Foundations
meeting in April.

No family connection...
We must issue a correction from last weeks Chan-
cellors Hockey report. We had been misinformed that
one of the Chancellor players, Bryce Stephenson,
chosen for the All Star team, was a relative to the Dan
Johnson family. We have since learned the informa-
tion we were provided was incorrect and there is no
family connection between the two. Our apologies to
both families for this error.
Heart month...
February is Heart Month and the Heart and Stroke
Foundation in Manitoba wants to remind Manitobans
that volunteers will be going door-to-door raising
awareness and funds for heart disease and stroke re-
search. Each year, close to 3,000 Manitobans die from
heart disease and stroke, making it the provinces lead
loss-of-life disease. Individuals and businesses are
also asked to show their support by going red by
wearing red, putting red in your window or turning on
a red light. For more information, to volunteer or to
donate online visit www.heartandstroke.mb.ca
From a subscriber...
We received a friendly compliment from an on-
line subscriber this week. Te subscriber lives out-
of-town but was planning to relocate to Minnedosa
and purchased an online Tribune subscription last
year. Unfortunately, plans changed and she will not be
moving to our community at this time. However, she
did send this note by email, I was impressed by your
newspaper. It was probably the best small-town news-
paper that Ive encountered. It really gave us a feel for
your community. We wish this subscriber all the best
in the future and hope to one day welcome her as a
Minnedosa resident.

lsewhere in this edition there is a book review of
Lisa Sobrys Divorcing Amy. I have to applaud So-
bry for sharing this story, from a mans perspective, in
a bitter divorce and child custody battle. Tese are the
stories that are too often left untold.
I have always found it interesting that for years,
women have fought for equality (as they should) and
yet there are certain areas in which men are consid-
ered the minority. Take for example child custody
battles. Courts have commonly favoured the mother
when it came to child custody. Although this is still all
too common today, there does seem to be somewhat
of a revolution in which more fathers are being award-
ed custody. Its about time! While it may be true in
some families that the mother is the better parent it is
certainly not always the case. Many fathers are equally
or more capable of being a loving, caring, responsible
parent to their children.
In the best interest of the child, who is really the
victim in such disputes, the best solution would be
equal, shared custody between both parents. Children
need the love and guidance of both parents and the
time spent with each parent should be equal. Unfortu-
nately, when families are not living together under the
same roof, this seldom occurs and the child sufers by
missing out on quality time spent with one parent.
Not long ago, I learned that there are men who op-
erate home daycares, some right here in our province.
At frst I was surprised to hear this but then found my-
self asking, Why not? Why cant a man care for chil-
dren just as responsibly as a woman? Of course they
can. When I started researching male-run daycares or
men employed in careers where they care for children,
I was angered to read numerous online comments
from mothers who felt this was disgusting and wrong.
I found comment after comment from mothers mak-
ing it very clear that they would never leave their child
in the care of a man for fear of what may happen to
their child. Yes, sadly, there are still many people who
sufer from the small-minded view that men only care
about one thing and if they are left alone with children
they must be a creep or a pedophile and will sexually
abuse them. Tis mindset has to change. Men are not
always the bad guy or deadbeat dad.
For anyone going through a separation, divorce
or child custody battle, I encourage you to read
Divorcing Amy, especially if you are a man in an abu-
sive relationship or a father fghting for custody rights.
Tis book is a real eye-opener and sadly there are
many who can relate to this true story. It also features
a number of resources and references to turn to for
help and is defnitely a worthwhile read.
Fathers make good parents too
M
innedosa Fire Department re-
sponded to an alarm at the Town
View Manor Sunday morning, at ap-
proximately 9:15. After a thorough
investigation, local frefghters deter-
mined this to be a false alarm.
Just a few days earlier, the local f re
department had responded to a simi-
lar call at the same multi-unit housing
complex. On the earlier call, the alarms
had gone of as a result of burnt food in
one of the residents suites.
While some of the residents who
evacuated the building Sunday morn-
ing were chilled by the frigid morning
temperatures, there were no injuries
from either call.

2002 Tis May, when the rugby season starts, the
MCI Chancellors will introduce its frst girls rugby team.
Tere are currently 15 high school girls teams in the
province and all are situated around Winnipeg. Tis sea-
son, Minnedosa and Crocus will join the league.
1992 During Town Councils recent long-term plan-
ning session, building a new fre hall was chosen as top
priority for community projects this year. For the past 30
years, the fre equipment has been stored in the same
building that houses the Town equipment, making the
entire structure itself a high fre hazard. Cost of a new
building is expected to be between $60,000 and $80,000.
1972 Fires of unknown origin demolished two homes
during the past week, the farm home of John Kerluke and
the CPR house occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Church.

1962 Minnedosa Consumers Co-op advertises
Caselot Savings. Of note: a fve pound box of macaroni
for 49 cents, six tins of soup for 95 cents and three cake
mixes for 79 cents.
1932 Te Editor remarks that eggs sold on the Win-
nipeg market by local farmers at fve to 10 cents a dozen
are now retailing at 32 cents. It seems to be too much of
a proft for the middleman, says he.
1922 Black Bros. Hardware advertise that Minnedosa
would be a better town to live in, or near, if people gave
the local merchants frst chance on their purchase. What
they havent in stock, they can produce at competitive
prices they say. Te catalogue people, reads the ad,
dont help to keep our local roads, schools or churches.
1912 A Boston newspaper reports that Minnedosa is
the coldest place on the North American continent with
a temperature of 28 below.
1902 Mrs. Woodcock has an orange tree growing
in her house, a piece north of Minnedosa. Te tree is
blooming and has already ripened one orange.
1892 A debate in the Hazelwood Community Hall re-
solves that Manitoba is preferable to England.
T
here were eight calls
for service this past
week for the Minnedosa
area. Of cers dealt with a
few traf c complaints, a
Mental Health Act incident
and charged a fellow for
breaching his conditions
when they were called to a
location in Minnedosa and
found him intoxicated. He
sobered up in jail and will
now have to go to court
again.
I mentioned last week
about discussing a sensi-
tive topic that in my hum-
ble opinion, needs to be
brought up. I think its
very important that every-
one understands the law
in relation to Sexual As-
sault. Tere have been a
few changes to this law in
recent years and on top of
hearing about this more
and more in the news, I can
tell you that we have had a
number of incidents in our
very own community.
I guess I should start
by clarifying that the main
issues we have been deal-
ing with locally is with our
youth. So it is a plea to par-
ents I suppose to please talk
to your kids and try your
best to explain how impor-
tant this really is and how it
can impact their (and your)
lives. Please also know that
I will be only discussing
the Law. Your individual
beliefs or values are your
own and not to be judged
by me.
Sexual Assault, can
cover everything from an
invitation to touching (in
person or online ie: sex-
ting) through to the act
itself. Te ofender can
be any person or what the
law defnes as a person in
authority or trust which
could be anyone from a
parent, counselor, teacher
or babysitter.
Te elements of this
ofence have, for the most
part, remained the same
and are quite clear. A per-
son who is forced to do any-
thing without their explicit
consent. A person can also
withdraw their consent at
ANY time. No means no is
still very true to this day.
What is extremely im-
portant is the change to
the age of consent. Some
people are in laymans
terms, not allowed to give
their consent. A child un-
der the age of 16 is not al-
lowed to give their con-
sent. Te only exception to
this is if the other person is
within two years of age of
the child and they are not
in a position of authority
or trust over them. Lets be
clear: A babysitter, camp
counselor or tutor would
constitute a person of trust.
So... if a 15-year-old is
having what they believe
to be consentual sex with
an 18 year old, the 18-year-
old can and will be arrested
and charged with sexual
assault. Te same ap-
plies to a 13-year-old and
16-year-old. If convicted,
they will receive a criminal
record, be entered on the

much end your sports in-

over the border and any
employment requiring a
clear criminal record check
(which is increasing every
day).
If you are unclear or
are looking for clarifcation,
please drop by the De-
tachment. Better to have

have laid charges over the
past 12 months on more

several more incidents are

As quiet as it was,

No still means no
Dear Editor,
I
t seems all but certain
that Stephen Harper is
set to hike the qualifying
age for the Old Age Secu-
rity (OAS) from 65 to 67.
For our most vulnerable
seniors, that means they
will go without $30,000 of
much needed support for
two additional years. For
you, it may mean signif-
cantly altering your plans
for retirement.
And you are not alone.
Over the next 10 years,
more than 4 million Ca-
nadians will be turning 65.
Unless you
are set to re-
tire with an
annual pen-
sion of over
$ 1 1 2 , 0 0 0 ,
Harper is tell-
ing you to re-
think your plans. Harper is
blaming the baby-boom-
ers. But as the retirement
wave peaks in 2031, the
increase spending on the
OAS will only increase by
0.7% of Canadas overall
economy. So why is Harper
doing this? Because funda-
mentally, Stephen Harper
believes that the govern-
ment should
have no hand in
helping seniors
in their retire-
ment, and no
hand in helping
Canadians plan
for their retire-
ment. Hes still the same
guy who said the Canada
Pension Plan should be
scrapped back in 1998.
Government involvement
in the fnancial security of
Canadians stands counter
to Harpers ideology.
As Conservat i ves
choose to take benefts
away from seniors, Liber-
als will continue to fght for
balanced pension reforms
that will ensure Canadians
f nancial security in their
retirement. Liberals will
fght for a voluntary sup-
plemental Canada Pension
Plan that will provide a
low-cost, high-return, uni-
versal option that Canadi-
ans can rely on.

During the replacement project, the southbound
lane of Main Street was divided between Armitage Av-
enue and 2nd Avenue North to allow both north and
southbound traf c to pass the work zone.
Te old waterline provided many years of service
before last falls break due to the issue of aging infra-
structure which is plaguing many communities, not just
Minnedosa. With todays modern technology, this new
line is expected to last many years into the future before
it is in need of replacement again.
Te f nal step to complete this project will be a pav-
ing patch over the work area later in the year. Final cost
of this major waterline replacement project is not yet
known.

O
n Monday evening,
February 6th, the
Minnedosa Performing
Arts Committee will host
MTCs presentation of Te
Melville Boys, as its fourth
instalment of the 2011-
2012 Expressions Concert
Series. Te comedy will
focus on two brothers who
go up to a lakeside cabin
for some weekend fshing
only to fnd that they have
some very serious issues to
work out.
I think it will be a
good time, stated Direc-
tor, Chris Sigurdson. Tis
is a hilarious show. Tere
is a lot of physical comedy
and some really good one-
liners. Underneath it all
its got a really good mes-
sage.
Tis is the frst time
MTC has done this par-
ticular play. It is a Cana-
dian classic that gets pro-
duced an awful lot across
the country and MTC
was just waiting for the
right opportunity to do it,
Sigurdson explained. I
think they wisely decided
that this would make a
great regional tour show
because it is so Canadian
and involves family and
dealing with change, rela-
tionships. It does it all in
a really funny way but also
with heart.
Te four actors are
all from Winnipeg and
Sigurdson said they have
delved into the show so
audiences can really con-
nect with their characters.
I know the cast is really
looking forward to getting
a chance to see all of Man-
itoba. Some of them have
travelled Manitoba be-
fore and for a few of them
it will be their frst time.
So theyll get to enjoy the
scenery and I think more
importantly the people
you meet along the way.
Te presenters and the
audiences that come out
to this show are incred-
ibly welcoming and quite
eager to see and appreci-
ate the show that gets sent
out.
In choosing what to
present in a regional play,
Sigurdson said producers
look for a variety of quali-
ties. First and foremost
we want a play that audi-
ences are going to identify
with. You want something
thats entertaining, and
you also need something
that makes the play sig-
nif cant and memorable.
In the case of this show,
MTC has thrown all its re-
sources behind it. Teres
an elaborate set and the
costumes, sound and
lighting should help audi-
ences feel like theyve had
a real experience.
Sigurdson hopes that
the Minnedosa audience
enjoys the play but that
it also gives them cause
to stop and contemplate
their own lives. Its an
amusing way of looking at
some dif cult family tran-
sitions. Tis play looks at
that with a good sense of
humour and a lot of com-
passion for the people
involved. Audiences will
see that and hopefully
recognize how it relates to
their own lives.

cil expressed its concern with another department as
well as the positions and jobs that go along with it - being
removed from the Provincial Building in Minnedosa and
being transferred to the city.
Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation

Tips for keeping
your home warm
By AMANDA BOYD
R
educing energy loss
and ensuring our
homes are toasty warm in
the winter are major priori-
ties to homeowners in Can-
ada; where temperatures
can drop to -50 degrees
Celsius. Here in Manitoba,
we have been lucky so far
this winter; temperatures
have been unseasonably
mild. When the weather
does take a nasty turn,
though, we are thankful
to have warm homes and
following these guidelines
should help.
First and foremost, it is
important to ensure your
homes furnace is working
properly. Have it evaluated
by a professional, who will
check the fans and motors,
clean it, and make sure it
is running ef ciently. Ho-
meowners should also
take it upon themselves to
change the flter regularly.
Of course, the best time to
have your furnace inspect-
ed is before it gets cold out-
side; no one wants to wake
up in the middle of Febru-
ary to fnd their furnace has
stopped working. If you
have not had your furnace
checked yet, its better late
than never.

In terms of insulation, you
can rarely have too much.
You dont want it touching
the underside of the roof
and you have to keep vents
clear and open so the attic
stays cold (the attic should
be same temperature as
outside); other than that
feel free to be liberal with
attic insulation. Keeping
your attic well insulated
will keep your living area
warm.
Once a year, do the
rounds and check for
cracks and gaps. Any con-
nection between the heated
interior of the house and
unheated space is a poten-
tial leakage site, including
around doors and windows,
in masonry walls, ductwork
and plumbing openings,
recessed lighting fxtures,
and attached garages. Of-
ten, the biggest gaps are
in places out of sight, like
in the attic, crawlspace or
basement; so dont forget to
check these areas too.
Use caulking and
weatherstripping to fx
air leaks that do you fnd.
Both act as a type of wind-
breaker; they dont insulate
from heat loss, but they do
prevent cold air seepage.
Weatherstripping is used
around the moving parts of
a window, around exterior
doors, and along the bottom
of attached garage doors.
Caulking is used in places
that dont move much (win-
dow casings or cracks in sid-
ing).
Caulking should be ap-
plied wherever two difer-
ent materials touch (brick
house and wood window
frame). Tere are many dif-
ferent types of caulking, de-
pending on what you want
it to do and the material you
are applying it to. Caulking
has to stick to be efective,
so porous materials like
exterior masonry and ce-
ment require special types
of caulking. Rubberized
caulking is best to use for
exterior jobs because it al-
lows movement and lasts a
long time. It is the most wa-
ter resistant but also fairly
expensive, messy to apply
and needs mineral spirits to
clean up.
Silicone caulking is a bit
less expensive than rubber,
non-toxic, and can be used
for both interior and some
exterior jobs. It adheres
well to metal, glass and tile,
but not to wood or cured
silicone. Silicone caulk-
ings biggest advantage is
its resistance to UV light.
Sun can do a lot of damage
to caulking, causing it to
shrink, crack and become
useless.
Latex caulking is water-
based, making it the easi-
est to work with. It adheres
to most building material,
dries fast, cleans up with
water and can be painted.
Te drawback is that latex
has little movement capa-
bility. Unlike Silicone, latex
caulking will shrink, harden
and break-down over time
when exposed to UV light.
For wider cracks (over
half an inch wide), expand-
ing spray foam can be used
to fll gaps and reduce air
leakage. Tere are low-
expanding foams available
that f ll gaps around win-
dows without putting too
much pressure on the win-
dow frame.
Winter in Manitoba is
not for the faint of heart.
However, those who do
their due diligence in pre-
paring their residence
against the elements should
have a warm hearth to come
home to every night.
Keep Old Man Winter outside, where he belongs
Use caulking or weatherstripping to seal
air leaks around windows.
Ensure your furnace is in good working order
and change your furnaces flter regularly.

W
e held our January
meeting at M.C.I.
canteen where we dis-
cussed some upcoming
events and fundraising op-
tions. Our Christmas party
was postponed until there
is more snow, if we get
any more snow. We were
reminded that our speech
night is at the beginning of
February and we quickly
ran over how to properly
prepare a speech or vi-
sual. We also discussed if
we need to get anymore
4-H clothing for this years
members. A new fund-
raiser we are going to try
are the Pay-What-You-Pull
tickets and we will be hav-
ing an overnight trail ride
instead of a clinic. Hope-
fully this New Year will
be full of fun and success.
Good luck to all the mem-
bers and have a great New
Year!

R
olling River Festival of
the Arts (RRFA) will be
held in Rivers March 12th-
22nd; with only fve weeks
to go, the committee met
on January 23rd to make
more plans.
Entries in the festival
have continued to decline
with 16 fewer than last
years event in Minnedosa
and 66 fewer than when
Rivers last hosted in 2009.
Tere was much discus-
sion held on the future
of the festival as it exists
today, and what may be
planned for next year.
Adjudicated disci-
plines are vocal, piano,
dance, strings and instru-
mental. Band workshops
will be of ered by Ken
Hudson of Brandon who
will visit schools and ofer
instruction. Hudson has
been contracted to adjudi-
cate band and instruments
so he is well-qualifed for
this task; watch for his cre-
dentials to appear in an
upcoming edition of this
newspaper. Liz Markwart
of St. Agathe will adjudi-
cate the dance sessions;
she has also agreed to pro-
vide a workshop if RRFA
can successfully co-ordi-
nate the same in the small
amount of time we have
left. As previously report-
ed, Tanis Hofer of Delo-
raine and Derek Morphy of
Winnipeg will respectively
adjudicate piano/strings
and vocal/choral. All adju-
dicator biographies will be
printed at a later date.
RRFA has contacted
people regarding visual
arts and speech arts work-
shops.
Tough no details have
been confrmed, please be
aware your festival is work-
ing to co-ordinate this. A
vocal workshop by Morphy
has also been confrmed.
T e canvass letters
requesting support have
been answered positively,
including a donation from
Women in Harmony in
memory of their former
member, Dorothy Hart.
Running a festival is a cost-
ly venture with adjudicator

of any size are most wel-
comed and receipts suit-
able for income tax pur-
poses will be issued, along
with a season pass to at-
tend any session for free! If
you would like to support
the festival, donations can
be mailed to Box 101, Riv-
ers, MB R0K 1X0.
Many volunteers are
needed to run the festival
and even more may be re-
quired this year.
It was decided that in
2012, interested parties
could video tape and pho-
tograph any or all parts of a
session provided there are
no fashes and that the ef-
fort is not disruptive to the
session. Tis change was
welcome news by some
parents who expressed
their gratitude but now the
committee is faced with
having to fnd even more
volunteers, specifcally
those willing to run a video
camera. If this is some-
thing that interests you,
please contact me at 204-
328-7494 or 204-328-7693
and I will be in touch with
you closer to festival dates,
to see if your schedule will
allow you to volunteer at a
session.
Te programming has
been conf rmed as piano
and string sessions, March
12th and 13th with vocal
and choral March 19th-
20th, band/instrumental
March 21st and dance is
tentatively March 20th-
22nd though it could be
reduced to two days. An
advertisement will be
published in this paper to
announce the session lo-
cations and time so keep
reading future issues.
Our next meeting
is February 6th. You are
more than welcome to join
us! If you cannot come but
have a suggestion for the
committee, please e-mail

Allison Hamm at 204-328-

A
recently published
book tackles a topic
that there continues to be
great silence about psy-
chologically abused men.
Divorcing Amy by Lisa
M. Sobry is based on true
events and follows the life
experiences of a young
couple in which the female
is extremely controlling
and abusing toward her
male partner.
In the book, the reader
is introduced to the two
main characters, Amy
and Alex. Te characters
names and locations have
been changed to protect
the identity of the people
involved. Te reader learns
early in the book of the dif-
ferent lifestyles Amy and
Alex experienced growing
up and can somewhat un-
derstand the reasoning for
their adult personality dif-
ferences.
Te book follows Alex
and Amys involvement
from their frst meeting in
a bar in 1993 through their
marriage, separation, to
their divorce fnalization in
October 2009. Te divorce
and child custody battle
was a rollercoaster ride
of twists and turns which
were made worse by Amys
constant controlling, spite-
ful behaviour toward Alex,
as well as her manipula-
tion of her own children
and the legal system to get
what she wanted, when
she wanted it and how she
wanted it. Finally, after a 12
year battle and $25,000.00
in legal fees, Alex was fnal-
ly able to divorce Amy and
move forward with a new
and much more pleasant
chapter in his life.
Te main message of
Divorcing Amy is for par-
ents fghting over custody
of their children to step
back and look at their own
situation and realize how
their behaviour is afecting
their children, who so fre-
quently become innocent
pawns in the battle of the
parents. I hope Divorcing
Amy helps many people
understand their children
should come frst, states
Sobry.
At the back of the
book, following Alex and
Amys story are pages of
professional opinions, re-
sources and references
available to anyone deal-
ing with similar situations.
Lisa was born in Alberta
but spent most of her life
in Manitoba. She currently
lives in Ontario. A motiva-
tional speaker and author
focussing on helping oth-
ers deal with real life ex-
periences. She has faced
many tough challenges in
her life including abuse,
rape and divorce. She has
survived and now lives a

lief in living happily ever
after. She shares real life
stories to help others real-
ize they are not alone and

ileen Bradley, Shir-

and Xisra Lamb visited
Onanole on January 24th
for a day of whist at the Se-
niors Centre. Eileen and
Shirley tied for third place.
An abundance of good
food and good fellowship
made for a very enjoyable
day.
We were saddened to
hear last week that Shaun,
the daughter of Andy
and Mona Korpatnik had
passed away. Dr. Shaun
Lucash had spent time
working in Africa with oth-
er medical personnel over
the years. Shaun leaves
behind her mother Mona,
her sister Joanne and her
brother Grant and fami-
lies. Her dad, Andy grew
up in Newdale, the young-
est of the Korpatnik fam-
ily and he passed away in
2003. Her mother Mona
still resides in Winnipeg.
Newdale Ravens Glen
WI held their frst meeting
of 2012 on January 26th at
Harrison House. Of cers
for the coming two year
term are: Past President
Wendy St. John; President
Enid Clark; Secretary
Audrey Waddell; Treasurer
Ida Bradley; Directors
are Dot Wareham, Irene
Creber and Xisra Lamb.
Te business meeting was
conducted followed by
an agricultural article on
the contamination of milk
in India, with everything
from fertilizer to bleach in
it! One dairy had 100 sam-
ples tested and 72 were
found contaminated. Te
second article read was
about the fundraising go-
ing on for the cancer resi-
dence which will be built
on Frederick Street to ac-
commodate rural patients
needing cancer treatments
at the new facility. Sylvia
Mitchell, a Wheat City WI
member that many of us
know, provided a very gen-
erous donation towards
the building fund.
Shirley Pederson and
Shirley A. Pederson ac-
companied Enid Clark to
Portage on January 28th
where they enjoyed the
Strathclair Dinner Cho-
rus performance, A Cen-
tury of Broadway, at Trin-
ity United Church. While
there, Enid was able to
have a short visit with her
cousins, Dunc and Bev
Lamb. Following the con-
cert the ladies travelled
on to Winnipeg for some
shopping fun.
Shirley Wareham and
Diane Creber spent last
weekend visiting with
Grace Glanville of Oakville.
Shirley and Diane are the
sound people for the
Dinner Chorus perfor-
mance.
Several rinks from
Newdale were curling in
the Mens/Ladies Bonspiel
at Shoal Lake last week. A
great social evening with
banquet and dance was
held on Saturday evening.
Newdales Mixed Bonspiel
will be coming up in Feb-
ruary, so watch for posters.
A large contingent
of 24 youngsters, are do-
ing after school curling
in Newdale. Te wait-
ing room is usually full of
proud parents and grand-
parent, all able to see the
next champions in their
little ones! Its wonderful
how fast they catch on to
reading the ice. Ice is al-
ways a challenge in New-
dale!

O
ne group of students
from T.C.S. (plus a few
from M.C.I.) have existed
for the past three months
in anonymity, a situation
we intend to rectify right
now. Te Minnedosa girls
Ringette team has played
against Strathclair and
Shilo and, while not too
successful on the score-
board, more than make
up for it in enjoyment and
participation. Coached by
Grade 2 teacher Aynsley
Franks, the team plans to
host a Ringette Tourna-
ment during the month of
March and would appreci-
ate some support from the
old hometown. Ringette
is similar in play to hockey
with straight sticks replac-
ing hockey sticks, a larger
ring replacing the puck and
with girls replacing boys
as players. Well keep you
posted on the team and its
exploits in subsequent col-
umns.

P
arks Canada is taking
another look at Mount
Agassiz. Te ski area is lo-
cated on the East Escarp-
ment of Riding Mountain
National Park near Mc-
Creary, approximately 90
km northwest of Minnedo-
sa. An amendment to its
2007 Riding Mountain Na-
tional Park Management
Plan has been proposed
that would allow for the
redevelopment of a ski hill
operation and possibly
multi-season recreational
activities. Tis decision
comes after receiving in-
creasing pressure from
stakeholders and interest-
ed parties who have voiced
their support for the rede-
velopment of the ski hill.
Parks Canadas ruling will
be dependent on the result
of a series of public meet-
ings held this week in Mc-
Creary, Neepawa and Rus-
sell.
Mount Agassiz Ski
Hill was built in the 1960s.
Eight major runs meander
with length and vertical,
making the courses great
conditions for cruise-ski-
ing and snowboarding.
Steep runs arent the
norm for skiers and snow-
boarders anymore, ex-
plained Kelly Rose, Found-
er of the Agassiz Mountain
Devel opment Gr oup
(AMDG). Tey prefer f at-
ter runs because our skis
run so fast now. In 1978,
the Canada Winter Games,
hosted by Brandon, had
the choice to hold the ski
events in Tunder Bay or
at Agassiz and by invest-
ing some extra money into
installing a chairlift and ex-
tending the runs, Agassiz
was able to accommodate.
Te hill closed in 2000
when owner Hersh Le-
rner declared bankruptcy.
T e location was pur-
chased three years later
by a numbered company
out of Russell, but noth-
ing developed. In 2008
Parks Canada cancelled
the lease, with plans to re-
habilitate the area by re-
planting trees, taking out
the hydro, and removing
the road. Te initial cost
estimate of this rehabilita-
tion was around $200,000.
To date, however, it has
cost between $4-5 million
to keep the ski hill closed.
Tats money that could
have gone back into mak-
ing it function again, said
Rose.
After word got out
that the property was no
longer being monitored,
there was a great deal of
vandalism committed
on the large chalet and
its outbuildings. Broken
doors, shattered glass and
scattered trash litter the
f oors; but the damage,
Rose stresses, is superf-
cial and can be repaired
with very little expense.
Recent news reports have
estimated that it will cost
as much as $20 million to
redevelop the area, but
Rose disagrees. I dont
know why they would say
that. It could be done for a
lot less. Unless you want to
tear these buildings down
and build new, but why do
that when these buildings
are structurally sound?
Ive been to ski hills in the
Rockies that dont have
chalets like this. It needs a
new roof, but the building
itself has so much charac-
ter. Skiers do not come
for the indoor amenities,
anyways, he added. Tey
come for the outdoor ex-
perience, and the terrain
at Agassiz, Rose stated, is
the best in the province.
Yesterday I was in the
mountains; today, Im
at Agassiz. Teres not a
ski area I havent skied in
North America and this is
still as good as anything
there is.
With a population of
approximately 950, the
community of McCreary
has been abuzz ever since
the news release broke
last Tuesday (January
24th). Te general feel
is excitement, tempered
with caution. I was re-
lieved that they (Parks
Canada) even entertained
the idea of changing the
management plan, stated
R.M. of McCreary Reeve,
Larry McLauchlan. Four
years ago they didnt want
to even talk about it.
Te impact a ski hill
the size and calibre of
Mount Agassiz would
have on business in the
area is immeasurable for
all surrounding commu-
nities and business own-
ers who live and work in
these communities. It
means we might be here
another year, said Nancy
Hays who, together with
her husband Marvin,
owns and operates the
Agassiz Park Lodge. If
it stays this way, we just
cant do it; we need more
people. Im guessing (an
operating ski hill) would
double our room revenue
in a year, and it would em-
ploy more people.
Its hard to put a
dollar value on what im-
pact this will have on
the community, agreed
McLauchlan. It will be
overwhelming.
Although the f nal
decision of Parks Canada
rests on the outcome of
several open houses be-
ing held in the region this
week, AMDG members
and supporters are very
optimistic. Its a posi-
tive, progressive step for-
ward, Rose grinned. If
you would like more in-
formation or would like
to voice your opinion on
the matter, please visit the
Riding Mountain National
Park Website at http://

Parks Canada to re-evaluate Mount Agassiz

Closed your weary eyelids and whispered; Peace be thine.

W
hat better time
of year is there to
talk about aphrodisiacs
than at Valentines Day?
Aphrodisiacs can be foods
that psychologically and/or
scientifcally help us feel...
well in the mood for lack
of better words. Te search
of the perfect combination
is the desire for many on the
14th of February. Although
each persons own food
preferences play the biggest
infuence on this romantic
journey of cuisine, we
will focus on some classic
ingredients that fall into this
category.
Te frst ingredient
that comes to mind is
chocolate, and I am certain
that many will agree.
With its velvety smooth
melting texture, this sweet
addition to dessert choices
will usually win over any
other. Chocolate has been
scientifcally proven to
contain ingredients such
as phenylethylamine and
serotonin: two chemicals
that stimulate pleasure
senses in the brain. Tis,
plus the natural stimulant
efect from the cafeine,
makes for a wonderfully
seductive and addictive
ingredient. Fresh imported
strawberries are usually
available this time of year
and having them dipped
in chocolate makes for the
perfect fnish to a romantic
meal.
Oysters and caviar
have also been considered
aphrodisiacs for many years,
and some argue it is because
they are a good source of
zinc, which contributes to
maintaining male potency
and fertility. However, there
are many other foods high in
zinc that are not considered
aphrodisiacs such as lima
beans, lentils and spinach;
and I dont believe making
your Sweetheart a stir-fry of
these ingredients will give a
romantic impression.
Cayenne pepper
and spicy foods also play a
large role as aphrodisiacs
because they increase
heart rates, blood fow,
and perspiration. Some say
that endorphins are also
released during this process
and thus give one a natural
high and pleasurable
feeling.
C h a m p a g n e
or sparkling wine is
considered the drink of
lovers, but one can also
use nonalcoholic sparkling
grape juice as an alternative.
Alcohol can lower ones
inhibitions and thus be
regarded as an aphrodisiac,
but the tiny bubbles, even in
nonalcoholic alternatives,
are said to be very seductive.
Regardless of what
you choose to serve, staying
in for a romantic dinner can
be accomplished with little
efort and some creative
planning. Te menu you
decide upon does not have
to be complicated, however
it should be meaningful.
Your efort should refect
the compassion you have
for this person, and your
thoughtfulness will be the
most important ingredient.
Tere is one last
ingredient I should mention
that is believed to be an
aphrodisiac: garlic... when
eaten by both people. It
is, however, considered a
prophylactic when eaten by
just one.
