The penny went out of production Monday.

Th e same day, the Heri-tage Co-op began rounding their change to the nickel- down for a bill ending with .01, .02, .06, or .07; and up for a bill ending with .03, .04, .08, and .09. It’s up to retailers to decide whether they will round, or provide exact change. Rick Burgess

says Burgess Quality Foods will provide exact change, with the penny, until they run out. Pennies can be turned in at the Minnedosa Credit Union. Brad Ross says there is some confusion about their value. “Th ey are still legal currency. We will ac-cept them, we just won’t be distributing them.”

Minnedosa and Area E c o n o m i c D e -

velopment Officer San-dra Ingenmey says the Minnedosa Community Development Corporation Board has successfully met the recommendations of its 2004 strategic plan. So now what? Ingenmey says that the planning for the next few years of work could take a number of forms. She cau-tions that planning activ-ities needs to be balanced with current responsibil-ities of the offi ce which in-clude support for business plan development, linking of local entrepreneurs with the supports, support and training for local non profi t boards, tourism promo-tion and summer worker management. Recently, the Beause-jour Brokenhead De-velopment Corporation conducted a Regional Eco-nomic Analysis Process (REAP) in partnership with Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Iniatives (MAFRI). Anna Wolonciej is the marketing director for the Corporation. “My job is to identify trends, strengths in the regions, competitive advantages. And it’s my responsibility for attracting interest to the area,” said Anna.

She brought together the ‘keystone people’- CEOs, grant monitors, people from the banks, education, and political representatives for an in-itial meeting on Novem-ber 23rd. Over 55 people attended. Now they’re in stage two of their REAP where they’ve had a separ-ate meeting about retain-ing high school students. She says with the an-alysis they are seeing, they have an aging population, a strong need for health-care workers, and hous-ing. So they are looking at training opportunities for young people; perhaps to-wards working in health-care. Th e report shows the range of businesses, skilled trades, manufactur-ing present, but also the gaps, so she has a sense of what kinds of enterprises to encourage, and when it comes to immigration, what skills to attract. While the overall an-alysis included Springfi eld, she took the document and separated out the in-formation for Beausejour Brokenhead for a more tailored idea. Now, she says, she has a blueprint for her job going forward; and one that the com-munity has participated in and supports. Th e process takes time, and depends on the engagement of the

community, but she main-tains, “I would encourage other people to do this. It builds positive spirit. It’s about team work, and it provides an excellent base with which to set up and execute a strategic plan.” When asked why she relied on the province for the service, rather than employing a consultant, Wolociej was enthusias-tic about their decision. “We were looking for a way to do something like this anyway. We discussed what we were looking for with MAFRI. Th eir specifi c knowledge of statistics, regional economics and business development and what they were off er-ing was perfect. Plus, the service is free. We were the fi rst group in Eastman to sign up.” Ruth Mealy of MAFRI says that REAPs are really about regions, and depend on participation from a range of community mem-bers. REAPs have been completed by other com-munities including Swan Valley RISE Inc., Asessippi Parkland Economic De-velopment, East Escarp-ment- McCreary Econom-ic Development Board, and Dauphin Economic Development & Tourism.

Recent physician re-cruiting eff orts have

paid off for Minnedosa. According to Penny Gil-son, Chief Executive Offi -cer of the Prairie Mountain Regional Health Authority, Dr. Liz Lysack will be com-ing to practice full time in Minnedosa in July. Dr. Ly-sack comes from the rural Alberta family medicine residency program. Th is addition is un-likely to create a surplus of service in the region. While no formal notice has been off ered, Gilson reports that up to two doctors at the Minnedosa clinic will discontinue their prac-tice in the near future. Th e Minnedosa Clinic detailed

that while two doctors thinking of making chang-es, one is more certain than the other. Th e Clinic said they would make a formal announcement when fi -nal decisions have been made. Says Gilson: “Once we know formally of physi-cians leaving Minnedosa, we’ll be working with the existing physicians know-ing that Dr. Lysack is com-ing in July. We’ll be work-ing to sustain services in the short term while we determine if physicians need to be placed there.” Th ose interested to sign up under Dr. Lysack`s care are asked to hold their horses. Gilson says this will be an option closer to the summertime. Keeping Minnedosa

in good supply of medical practitioners is a matter of ongoing recruitment, communication, and bal-ance. Recruitment hap-pens in a number of ways, including: * Th e health author-ity keeps track of students from rural communities who go into medicine, and encourages them to prac-tice in their home commu-nities when they graduate. * Th e health author-ity is in regular contact with education programs to identify other students who may be interested in practicing in a rural set-ting. * Practitioners from rural communities who are practicing elsewhere are given the option of returning to their home community, at least for short periods of time. * Finally, internation-al medical graduates are recruited through a provin-cial assessment process; usually from other Cana-dian provinces. Th ey enter a term of service agree-ment with the region for a minimum of three years off ering the possibility of stability for both the town and the physician. Refer-ring to the region, Gilson says: “We actually always

just sponsor as many as we can because we fi nd that we always have places for more physicians. I’ve nev-er been in a position where we’ve had more physicians than we needed ready to practice and not enough spaces. I’ve unfortunately never had that happen.” Still, Gilson reports that Minnedosa is fortu-nate to enjoy a full comple-ment of six physicians. Lo-cal physicians work in a fee for service arrangement at the Minnedosa Clinic, and also practice at the hos-pital. Th is second piece is

a key part of ensuring the community is well served. “We want to make sure we have 24/7 emergency room coverage,” says Gil-son. Th ere is no set num-ber of physicians that Minnedosa must have, based on population or other factors. What mat-ters is open communica-tion with the physicians and community. Th e physicians evaluate how many patients they can/

want to handle in combi-nation with their duties at the hospital; a decision that usually factors in how much they are paid per vis-it. “Some communities op-erate with four physicians.” Gilson says. So, physicians might ask the authority to recruit more doctors if their workloads were too high. Alternatively, they could advise the authority not to fi ll a vacant position if they felt that they could handle more patients.

When I was a young man, I was involved in a 4-H program, and lived by the organization’s motto,

“Learn to Do by Doing.” What I learned from that experience is that peo-ple make a diff erence. I grew up in a rural community where our school was a community school. It was ac-tually built by the parents of the children that attend-ed that school. I coached and volunteered, just as my parents had done, because I knew that people make a diff erence in the lives of others. As an elected offi cial, I’ve learned that people matter greatly when it comes to developing policy that makes sense. Th e NDP doesn’t under stand that. Th ey are di-recting Manitoba Hydro to plow ahead with a $21 bil-lion megaproject plan gamble to build two new hydro dams and a hydro transmission line without giving the people of Manitoba a say in how that project should be structured, or if the project is needed at all. Instead of being open, transparent and including Manitobans in the decision process, the NDP hide facts and make it as diffi cult as possible for Manitobans to understand the project. Take for instance the review processes for these projects. According to Manitoba’s Sustainable De-velopment Principles economic and environmental decision-making should be integrated to create a clear picture of whether the project makes sense or not. Th e Wuskwatim dam was reviewed this way and the pro-cess worked well. For the megaproject however, the NDP created four diff erent review commissions to study individual pieces of the project. Th ese commis-sions complained they can’t do a complete job without more information and a better review process than the one dictated by the NDP. Th e NDP refused to provide it.

Many Manitoba Hydro offi cials and experts, both present and past, say that the NDP’s approach doesn’t make sense. Past NDP Cabinet Ministers like Len Ev-ans and Tim Sale – a previous Minister responsible for Manitoba Hydro – say the NDP need to rethink these plans to get the best bang for each taxpayer’s buck. I couldn’t agree more. But the NDP’s plan is diff erent. According to the experts Manitoba will not need new power generation for a decade. Th e NDP are directing Manitoba Hydro to spend $21 billion on the Keeyask and Conawapa dams and BiPole 3 hydro line on the gamble of selling profi table power into foreign markets. Th e eff ect of this megaproject gamble will be to triple your Manitoba Hydro debt and have your hydro rates double IF the NDP’s gamble on export sales pays off . Given the new supplies of energy like wind power and natural gas competing with Hydro this is not a sure bet. In the end, the NDP won’t have to pay up if their gamble doesn’t work, the people of Manitoba and their children will be forced to pay. Th e price will be higher hydro bills and increased taxes to cover hydro’s debt. Th at’s why it’s so important Manitobans demand a complete and open review of the megaproject plan by experts and not NDP Cabinet Ministers. Th is will only happen if Manitobans get involved and tell Greg Selinger the NDP must put their plans up for a complete and transparent review. Manitobans cannot aff ord an NDP megaproject gamble without full knowledge of the facts. Let Premier Greg Selinger know the NDP mega-project gamble needs to be reviewed. Write him at: Room 204, Legislative Building, 450 Broadway, Winni-peg, Man., R3C 0V8, or email him at: [email protected]. Or you can call him at: 204-945-3714.

In February 2013 Ser-vices to Seniors met an

all time goal of 60 Lifeline Units in Minnedosa and surrounding Rural Munici-palities of Saskatchewan, Minto and Odanah. Lifeline is a button you can wear either around your neck or on your wrist. If you have a fall and can not get to the phone to call for help all you have to do is press your button and someone will be right with you. Lifeline is not just for the elderly, many people of all ages use Lifeline for medical conditions. With 60 lifelines to ser-vice the Resource Coordi-nator is often in and out of the offi ce. Services to Seniors is a non profi t organiza-tion that receives a grant from the Prairie Mountain Regional Health Author-ity (former Assiniboine Re-gional Health Authority) to assist in funds for a portion of the project’s budget. Be-ing that the monies are in a form of a grant there are no benefi ts or pensions for staff . Services to Seniors also relies on grants from the Town of Minnedosa, and the R.M.’s of Saskatch-ewan, Minto and Odanah for operating costs such as rent, hydro, telephone, in-ternet, offi ce supplies and equipment, insurance, au-dit, mileage and training workshops. In 1989 (24 years ago) an application was sent for Support Service Fund-ing to the Support Service Coordinator in Winnipeg, MB by Dawn Erven and Audrey Briese. Th e Services to Se-niors offi ce is located in the Townview Manor, a

Manitoba Housing Build-ing. Many people believe because the offi ce is lo-cated in a Manitoba Hous-ing Building that we are Manitoba Housing or only deal with the clients of the Townview. Th is is not true. Our organization covers the Town of Minnedosa and surrounding R.M.’s. Th e reason we are locat-ed in the TVM is the rent is signifi cantly less than main street offi ce space and the congregate meal program is operated on the sixth fl oor of the Townview Manor. Th e Townview Manor has vulnerable citizens therefore having a keypad entry into the building for their safety. If you would like to discuss services off ered please contact the offi ce. If the Resource Coordina-tor is not in please leave a message and your call will be returned. Services to Seniors is always looking for volun-

teers. Volunteering may include lifeline back up coverage or helping with the congregate meal.

“We kept hearing that the cello is people’s favou-rite instrument. And also that the harp is so well loved. So we thought we’d put them together,” said Ariel Barnes on Tuesday night; referring to him-self and his collaborator in Couloir, Heidi Krutzen. Barnes and Krutzen are well known and respected on their own in the North American classical music scene. Krutzen is Princi-pal Harp for the Vancou-ver Opera, and Barnes is Principal Cello for both the Vancouver Opera and Vancouver Symphony. Both are former principles of the CBC Radio Orches-tra, and members of the Turning Point Ensemble. Harp and cello duos are rare, so Couloir is a project of research and creation; fi nding pieces that they want to play that also align with their in-struments, with Krutzen taking on transcription duties to adapt pieces for their use. And, of course, outreach. Two of their pieces were commis-

sioned- one premiered on this tour- by jazzman Brad Turner, and another by Jocelyn Morlock. Barnes said they were ‘enchanted’ with Minnedosa. After rolling by the clock tower and stopping in for coff ee at Chipperfi elds, they set up for their snowy Tuesday night performance at the United Church. Does this enchant-ment mean Minnedosa can take some of the credit for Couloir’s per-formance? Maybe, maybe not. It didn’t hurt that Barnes brought along and played a one of a kind cello built by Joannes Francis-cus Celoniatus in 1730 of black Italian poplar. Cur-rently on loan to Barnes from the Canada Council of the Arts, the piece is val-ued at $750,000. Still, there was a sense in the comfortably fi lled sanctuary that the pair had made an impression well before this informa-tion was shared. Th e mu-sicians are skillful, deeply connected to the moment of creation both with their own instruments

and each other, and also playful; making the most of timing with the sharp points, the long stretches, the pauses. Th eir treat-ment of diff erent styles was equally enthusiastic and respectful, off ering a diversity that spanned old, accessible dance pieces, Debussy’s more symbolic/placeholder style, and a recent jazz inspired piece. And they laughed with the audience when we didn’t quite predict the end of the piece. Th e show was pre-sented by Prairie Debut and Expressions Concert Series.

Following the opening ceremonies, Mary Fenske of Brandon gave a history lesson on the league. In 1983, a number of women had reached age 60, the cut off point for the Mani-toba Ladies Curling As-sociation; but wanted to continue playing. After

trying to form a 60+ group with the league, and being turned down, Iris Carroll, Marguerite Hood, Eileen Marsden, Marg Ritchie, and Betty Simpson recruit-ed teams from the existing 12 divisions. Th ey drew up a constitution, bylaws and standing rules, and set up chair people for each district. Fenske says that

by 1992, the league had 52 registered teams; and this number grew to 67 in 2001. Th e group does some fundraising to cut down entry costs, including sell-ing a calendar in partner-ship with the Riverview Curling Club in Brandon. Fenske remarks that though numbers seem to be declining, there is in-terest from baby boom-ers coming along. What’s more, now with the stick, people are able to play as they get older. Th e eldest

player at the tournament this week was 89, but she knows of a 95-year-old player in Winnipeg. Sunday night also fea-tured poetry from Law-rence Ruddick, and music from the Cameron Con-nection. J e a n G a r b o l i n s k y chaired the local organis-ing committee. Lewis re-ports that just over a dozen volunteers pulled off the event, along with generous support from the commu-nity and local businesses.

Dear Reena, I have been trying to clean out some excess items in my house and have some old (dead) Christmas lights that I would like to recycle. I know that the copper wire is valuable, but if there isn’t a place that will pay for them, I would just like to fi nd a place that will re-cycle them as I don’t just want to put them in the garbage. Barb

Dear Barb, You have a couple of options: Depending on the lights that you own, you can take a small work knife or an old paring knife and carefully strip the plastic from the wire. Check out a variety of places that buy and sell copper on-line or in your area. Another option is to donate your Christmas lights just as you would old clothes. Even if the lights don’t work, someone might want to use them as craft supplies. It beats tossing them!

Dear Reena, I have burnt a pot very badly. It had red cabbage in it and I cannot remove the black from the bottom. Can you give me a solution for this? Jean

Dear Jean, Soak the pan with dishwasher detergent and hot water for a couple of hours, scrub with a steel wool pad. Or (and this is what I like to do) into your pot pour baking soda, dish soap and enough water to cover the bottom. Boil the contents for 5 mins. Let sit just until cool enough to handle and scrub with an S.O.S pad. Some people use oven cleaner for this purpose and leave it over-night, but I prefer baking soda.

Dear Reena, Would you be able to tell me how I can get mold off of the white rubber seal around our fridge door? Th is is on a bar fridge that was stored in a base-ment where the humidity was very high. I am not sure if someone tried to re-

move the mold before, so I don’t know if any cleaning products have been used. Donna

Dear Donna, Sounds like you need to begin by checking to see if the seal needs replacing. You should not be able to slide a piece of paper be-tween the rubber seal and the wall of the refrigerator (or freezer). If the piece of papers slips between the seal and the wall, the seal is not tight enough and the gasket requires replacement. To clean the seal, combine 5 drops tea tree oil, and white vinegar. Spray and scrub.

Feedback from Reader Who Cares:

Hi Reena, With regards to clean-ing ‘Kitchen Craft’ cabi-nets: “For clarifi cation we do not recommend any-thing except as you noted mild soap and water (just a damp clean cloth and not excess water, drying imme-diately). Th e Murphy’s Oil, Cabinet Magic, detergents and abrasive cleaners can

have a deteriorating eff ect on the fi nish over time and is not recommended and will void warranty. Over time waxing and polishing compounds may build up on the surface and cause a hazy streaking appearance.” Submitted by: Kitchen Craft Cabine-try

Fabulous Chocolaty Tip of the Week!

For your teacher, friend, spouse, brother, sister, mom or dad, de-sign a special Chocolate Floral Bouquet. Glue two Chocolate Kisses together (bottom to bottom). Insert a piece of 6” (15 cm) wire into one of the pointed ends of the double kiss. Th e wire tip may need to be heated using the fl ame of a candle. Wrap a 4” (10 cm) square of cellophane around the Chocolate Kisses “roses”. Cover the stems with fl oral tape and attach artifi cial leaves to stems. Tie all of the “roses” together with a bow. Tip: Coloured cellophane will look even better.

Riding Mountain MLA Leanne Rowat presented Moon Carter-McDermott with a framed copy of

the Christmas card that she designed for Leanne in 2012. Leanne asked Grades 4-8 students at

Onanole Elementary school to design a picture to be used as her Christmas card in 2012 to be sent to over 500 friends and supporters. Moon received 10 cards to give to family and friends,

along with the framed card.

By ELMER KASKIW

Most cropping plans for the majority of

producers have been de-termined last fall while harvesting the 2012 crop. Th ere are however in most operations a certain per-centage of acres where a traditional rotation is not suitable for a variety of rea-sons. Th ese are often con-sidered “fl ex acres”, and are often targeted specifi cally based upon an agronomic need. Historically these acres had been seeded to forage however the dra-matic jump in grain and oilseed prices saw these acres pulled out of forages and put back into grains and oilseeds. Th e rotation-al benefi t from this move has seen little in the way of a yield penalty however the yield curve will soon turn downward sharply as

the long term productiv-ity of these acres becomes evident. Th e loss in forage acres combined with a per-sistent US drought has cre-ated a demand for forages that cannot be replenished quickly suggesting that perhaps now is the time to once again place these challenged acres back into forage. So what type of forage would be most suitable? Th is will depend some-what on the agronomic challenges these acres possess and also in what forage market you are tar-geting. Export hay mar-kets typically require high percentages of alfalfa in order to maximize protein and energy levels. Th is will mean that production will typically have to occur on acres that have only mi-nor limitation to produc-tion. In a typical hay mix

one can use the following blend as a guideline in lbs/acres: 6-8 lbs of alfalfa (de-pends upon end use), 4 lbs Meadow brome if second cut to be grazed, Smooth brome if not grazed, and 2 lbs Timothy. As limita-tion increase and if salin-ity is present then brome can be decreased with Tall Fescue being added de-pending on the severity. If land is prone to temporary fl ooding then brome can be decreased and Timo-thy rate can be increased and Creeping Red Fescue included. If soils are light and prone to drought con-ditions then brome can be decreased and Crested Wheat Grass can be add-ed. Some growers have also had good success in replacing some brome with Intermediate Wheat Grass in that it yields simi-lar to brome but seems to

dry down and even out bale moisture better then brome.

Fertilizing Forage Stands

One way to take a more immediate advan-tage of the increase in hay prices is to fertilize es-tablished forage stands. Forage stands with a high percentage of alfalfa will require no nitrogen and somewhere between 25-30 pounds of actual phos-phate and approximately 15 pounds of actual sul-phur. Coarse soils may also require potassium at 45-90 pounds per acre. If the stand is predominant-ly grass and there is a low percentage of alfalfa then 40-60 pounds of nitrogen should also be applied.

Congratulations to Britiny Judd and Kyle Ogibowsky who were married on January 23rd, 2013 in Mayan

Rivera, Mexico. A number of family and friends attended the wedding. Th e Legion Men’s 50/50 monthly draw for January was won by Ronald Mendro of Flin Flon, MB. Frances Kuzmak and Sonia Hasiuk spent the week-end in Winnipeg, where they visited with brother-in-law Chub Lewandoski who had heart surgery at the St. Boni-face Hospital and is doing well. Th ey also attended a 40 day memorial service on Monday for their cousin, Mor-ris Zemliak, who passed away in Prince George, BC. Dennis Derhak visited with mom, Helen Derhak, for a luncheon and returned back to Winnipeg. Ron Appleyard was back in Minnedosa Hospital for a few days last week. Sympathy to Ed and Julie Alexiuk (Proskin) on the passing of Ed’s sister, Nancy Alexiuk, aged 53 years. A memorial service was held in Winnipeg and a burial will take place at a later date. Recently one evening, Lorrie and Ollie Lewandoski, who live north of Sandy Lake, were suddenly frightened by a very loud roar and bright red light above their house. Th inking it might be something from “outer space” about to crash into the house, but landed in the garden. Imme-diately the doorbell rang and lo and behold it was a heli-copter pilot and his son. Th ey stated they had to land be-cause of the darkness and fog. Th ey were on their way to the park from Fernie, BC, to net, take blood samples and tag approximately 90 animals, which would take three days. After making some phone calls, the Park Warden picked them up in his truck and took them to Elkhorn Ranch for the night. Th e helicopter was parked closer to the house, it was covered and a heater was plugged in to keep it warm. Early the next morning, they lifted and took off . “Friendly Manitoba” – eh. Barry and Jan Fawcett attended the funeral of Barry’s cousin in Estevan, SK, this past week.

“Stay relaxed. You can’t be tight. You have to stand a certain way that feels comfortable. Usually the dominant foot in front of the other, and I usually

lean onto that foot. Th at way it’s more comfortable.” “Some vowels are easier to say on diff erent notes than others. Also, as you approach higher notes you have to sing diff erent-ly. Same when you go to

lower notes. You have to move your mouth diff er-ently, and use diff erent ways of blowing air.” Stevie Onyshko shares pointers from his 93-year-old voice teacher Doris Mayoh. I’m paying atten-tion. Have you heard this kid sing? All I can say is, it’s working. Onyshko is 12 years old. Last month, he sang Oh Canada for the Pee-wee tournament at the Minnedosa Arena. He may be in danger of not being invited back, on account of him just about stealing the show! He’s into classical music. Musical theatre is not his bag, although he does travel to Winnipeg fairly regularly to catch shows at Rainbow Stage. Right now, he’s working on a few pieces for the lo-cal festivals. It’s the vocal work that attracts him. “I just like singing and trying to get the purest tone pos-sible.” H e a p p r e c i a t e s

the history of music in Minnedosa, even though sometimes he thinks that what he does can be very diff erent for other people to hear. Of course sup-port for classical music in Minnedosa is not as powerful as in Brandon. “Brandon has more re-sources,” he says. He goes over to the pi-

ano, drums up a Sonatina in G by Muzio Clementi. He seems as conscien-tious about his piano play-ing as singing. “Most of the time I’m thinking ‘Please, I don’t want to screw up!’. But otherwise I’m listen-ing for the dynamics. For this song I need to work on the dynamics. Th at little trill part didn’t go so

well. I should have played it slower actually.” Onyshko competes in the Rolling River Festi-val of the Arts, and will be singing solo for the fi rst time in the Brandon Festi-val this year. He also sings with the Brandon Chorale, and plays clarinet in the Tanners Crossing School band.

The federal Liberal lead-ership race continues.

Justin Trudeau, Member of Parliament for Papineau, was at the Neepawa Chick-en Corral on January 30th to convince over 80 attend-ees to elect him as Liberal leader in April. Trudeau was intro-duced by Chief Morris Shannacappo of Rolling River Reserve who wel-comed Trudeau, Provin-cial Liberal Leader Dr. Jon Gerrard, and participants to Treaty two territory. In his opening remarks, he encouraged support for Idle No More, and respect for the Treaties, and also congratulated Trudeau on his boxing match win over Senator Patrick Brazeau last March. A number of Minnedo-sans were there to support Trudeau. Th ey were ex-cited to see Trudeau, and talked about his youth and energy as part of the rea-son for their support. Trudeau was endorsed by Ralph Goodale, MP for Wascada on January 29th. On agriculture, Trudeau said: “Our primary market for agriculture will always be ourselves. And there is a greater and greater inter-est in trying to make sure that we have less geneti-cally modifi ed foods, that we eat more organic, and that needs to be the prior-

ity. Of course in numbers, outgoing trade is always more important (than in-coming) and our relation-ship with the American market will always defi ne Canadian prosperity in ag-riculture. Still, on a person-al level as citizens, we can and must start demand-ing better. Th e business of food, getting away from family farms, getting away from what I’m fortunate about in Quebec where there is a huge focus on local produce and echoed right across the country. People are starting to de-mand more and what I think we really need is a government who is will-ing to encourage that. Not only focusing on the single bottom line. Now, it’s going to require a big shift. But I think that that shift actu-ally starts with being mind-ful of some of the problems that come from various ag-ricultural habits. Canadi-ans are literally hungering for better options. We need to make sure we are pro-viding our farmers with the

capacity to off er Canadians more of what they want.” On Water: “Th e bulk water export trigger in NAFTA is something that must concern us. Th e idea of bringing water outside of a watershed is some-thing that I don’t think we should ever engage in. I do not want to commodify water at all. And it is also a problem when we talk about importing from parts of the world where they re-quire more water than they have to grow their crops. We have the potential to take a real role on water issues because we are so rich in water resources. So far that’s exactly the kind of broad leadership that seems anathema to this administration.” On a national housing strategy: “We are the fi nal OECD country that doesn’t have a national housing strategy. We need to talk about social housing, and housing for the most vul-nerable. If we’re going to allow people to lift them-selves out of poverty and vulnerable situations, they need a base with which to make it grow. We also have to realize for the middle class that the rising cost of mortgages and household debt, the lack of equity in homes, the increasing diffi -culty in fi nding good rental properties, this is putting an awful lot of pressure on housing right across the board. So we have to start looking at seriously engag-ing the provincial partners, reinvesting in social hous-ing infrastructure. What that looks like is working with the Canadian Mort-gage and Housing Corpo-ration and making invest-ments. To do this, we need to create more prosperity by investing in education, understanding the impor-tance of trade, making the most of our natural re-sources, being good fi scal managers, and being in-novative with the solutions we bring forward.”

Atoms

By JENN MERRITT

On the morning of Feb-ruary 2nd, the Atom’s

team travelled to Rivers for their annual tournament. Th e Bomber’s fi rst game would be against the Bran-don Green Battalions. First period both teams were tied, with a score of 1-1. Th e Bombers would net another goal in the second, to bring the score to 2-1. It was a nail-biting third pe-riod but the Bombers came out on top and skated away with a 3-2 win, over the Battalions. Goals/ assists went to; Kayden Suther-land (1G, 1A), Bryden Mc-Farlane (1G), Konlyn Ne-metchek (1G) and Chloe Kushner with (1A). Player of the game was awarded to Minnedosa’s goalie, Cole Cibula. Great work, Cole! Since the Bombers won their fi rst game, they got to enjoy the rest of their Saturday. Th ey would head

back early the next morn-ing, for their second game of the Tournament. Next, the Bombers would face-off against the Russell Rams. Th e fi rst period the Rams took a 2-0 lead. Th e Bomb-ers try as they might were un-successful in scoring, in the second and unfor-tunately by the end of the third the Bombers would take a 6-0 loss, against the Rams. Player of the Game this time was awarded to, Kayden Sutherland. Well done, Kayden! Th is would now place the Bombers, into the C Finals game. Th e third game for Minnedosa would be later that day, against the Por-tage Atom #3 team. At the end of the fi rst period, both teams were matched with one a piece. It was again very evenly played in the second, with a score of 3-3 but it would be the third that would seal the game for the Bombers. Th ey slapped in three more goals in the third, to defeat Portage 6-3.

It was a very intense game, which for awhile was very closely matched; however the Bombers pulled out all the stops to hold onto the win. Goals/ assists went to: Kayden Sutherland (Hat trick), Carter Hedley (2G), Konlyn Nemetchek (1G) and Bryden McFarlane with (1A). Th e fi nal Player of the Game was given to, Carter Hedley. Good job, Carter! I’m so proud of our kids, for playing a hard and clean game against Por-tage. Th is game was proof that if you play with Pride, you’ll always be on top in the end, for; “It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but how many time you get back up” ~Vince Lombardi. Great playing Minnedosa Atoms, you should all be very proud of yourselves!”Overall, the Atoms team did their best and came in fi fth out of eight teams. Th ere was some tough competi-tion so fi fth was quite re-spectable. Th e Atoms will now be gearing up for their league Playoff s to start. Wish them luck.

It was an excellent nail biting game to watch! Our scorers were Cole Topham (7), Vic-tor Lamb (1), Austin Taylor (1), and Brooklyn Hedley (1). Assists went to Patyon Burton, Cole Topham and

Victor Lamb. Th e dig-ger award went to Cole Topham. All of our players had excellent games during the tournament, they all worked hard and most of all enjoyed themselves while on the ice.

Census division 15, which includes Minnedosa and Neepawa and stretches pretty clear to the Saskatchewan border has been seeing more deaths than births for the 14 years between 2006 and 2011.

In terms of workforce, farmers have been in the minority since 1971 as the workforce shifted to more numbers of wholesale and retail trade, and heathcare and social assistance than farm based workers.

N a t i o n a l l y , Canada will see deaths exceeding births by 2030, so the only population growth will be from immigration.

Even though Minnedosa is a part of the same division as Neepawa, the area came 111th out of 288 divisions nationally in terms of attracting immigrants. Division 3 which includes Winkler, Morden, and Altona was number one in all of Canada on a per capita basis in attracting immigrants.

Finally, he noted what many business owners already observe;

that our marketable area (and here, he includes municipalities of Odanah, Rosedale, Harrison, Strathclair, Clanwilliam) the population has been very stable at under 10000 for some time, meaning that fi nding markets is more of a challenge, or could involve fi nding demand further away.

In seeking to grow the economy, Bollman observes that a number of local industries sell to national or international markets. For example, the ethanol plant and other local industry, farms, and Canadian Pacifi c Railways. As far as he can see, this is a model that works. You’ve got to keep thinking of things you can do to export elsewhere, and bring in money from elsewhere. Perogies or pizzas or orchestra services; and that has to grow at the same pace that you’re losing people on farms, due to industrialization in agriculture. In considering Minnedosa’s relationship vs. Neepawa and Brandon where more growth is happening, it’s worth it to do something new, to encourage growth, and that acting as a bedroom community is not ideal. Dreaming up ideas, he says “Maybe you could develop a community orchestra program that draws people in from other communities. Or what about being the curling capital of Manitoba?” He also strongly encourages partnerships between towns and First Nations Reserves, since Aboriginal c o m m u n i t i e s a r e experiencing population

growth. He also posits niche expertise as another way attract attention and residents; and encourages thinking about meeting many needs with an initiative. MREC is on the go, and he thinks it’s worth considering regional population changes as a part of the plan. You want to see how many kids are coming up, and also whether there will be coaches and folks to support the teams. Th erefore, the current Rolling River School Division review of elementary schools in the Erickson catchment area due to low enrollment may be cause for concern. He thinks it’s w o r t h c o n s i d e r i n g i m m i g r a t i o n a s a n opportunity since overall the Canadian population is set to decline. “What if people in Minnedosa started learning Mandarin. Th en you start up English as a second language program, and attract kids from China who want to learn English. Th ere is a market for this. Parents want their kids to speak English. To do this, you need language teachers, who make an ok wage.” He sees this as an opportunity to sell a service to international folks who bring dollars from elsewhere, with value added to the community of more jobs, and increased skill levels. Th en, maybe there’s the opportunity to engage in other types of development with folks from China.

Mandarin, anyone? Ideas for

growth from a demographer
