Seventeen-year-old Ryan Mansell is on his way to Sur-rey, B.C. in May to compete as Manitoba’s Top Senior

Boy Single against bowlers from across the country in the Youth Bowling Canada competition. With a personal best of 410, he’s looking forward to competing against bowl-ers who average about the same scores as him. “I’m just gonna try and hit the middle.” Ryan competed in the house league rounds at home here in Minnedosa in the Four Steps to Stardom Youth Bowling competition earlier in the bowling season. From there he advanced to the Zone round, where he compet-ed against bowlers in Zone D from Neepawa, Brandon, Killarney, Carberry, Carman, Dauphin and Portage.

Placing fi rst in the Senior Boys’ Singles category, Ryan then moved on to compete at the Youth Bowling Provincials which were held in Winnipeg this month at Windsor Lanes. Th e Provincial Singles’ Competition was a match play format where the single bowlers play each competitor three times. Ryan took seven out of the possible nine points that he could win, to place on top. With parents who owned a bowling alley, Ryan says he “grew up at the lanes”. He says new bowlers need to know to take it slow. “It’s just a game. You’re not going to be great right away.” While the Youth Bowling Canada Competition is run by bowling alley proprietors, Minnedosa will also be represented at the federation run the Canadian Five Pin Bowling Youth Challenge Nationals March 21st to 24th in Gatineau, Quebec by Tyson Capuska (17). Th e Gimli resident’s parents are Allan and Debbie Tarn who own Minnedosa Bowl. Capuska was selected to com-pete for placing in the top three at provincials, and will be heading east with the team of six. Capuska, whose personal best is 364 says he’s aiming to do his best, not-ing that this will be his fi rst out of province competition. Faith Clarke from Minnedosa also advanced to the Zone rounds and won her way to the Provincials in the Bantam Girls Singles Division and brought home a bronze medal. She was also competing at Windsor Lanes.

Local bowlers advance

Minnedosa Gymnast Isabela Onyshko competed in the Gymnix Invitational meeting Montreal last

With this week’s edi-tion we enter the

130th year of continuous weekly publication of Th e Minnedosa Tribune. As this grand paper’s current publisher, I am honoured to be at the helm of the oldest weekly newspaper west of Ontario as we mark this major milestone, along with being the old-est continuing business in Minnedosa. A newspaper is just that; a business. We survive solely on the fi -nancial support of our ad-vertisers, subscribers and commercial print custom-

ers. Without you we would not be able to pay our bills to stay in operation to report the happenings of Minnedosa and our neighbouring communi-ties week after week. Another extremely important key to our con-tinuation is the amazing support we receive from our volunteer correspon-dents who write and sub-mit news reports, whether it’s district happenings, sports results, or club re-ports, on a regular basis. While we do have a report-er on staff , with so much going on in Minnedosa and our neighbouring

communities, it is impos-sible for us to be every-where to cover everything that is happening. While some may think nothing happens in our communi-ties, we beg to diff er. Th ere is always something going on and often there are two or more things happen-ing all at the same time. At times when we are unable to be at a certain event, the contributions from our volunteer correspondents are greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work! As has been the Tri-bune’s tradition, we con-tinue to fi ll our pages with local content each week.

It is not always what we consider “big news” but I view this as a good thing. Personally, I would much rather fill the front page of our community newspaper with stories highlighting such hap-penings as the success of a local group in its fund-raising efforts or a local sports team winning a prestigious title rather than fatal accidents and murders. Certainly, when those horrific things hap-pen we have to report them, but I am thankful it is not on a weekly basis. That is one of the joys of living and working in a

small town! This week, as we mark 130 years of contin-ued publication, please join me in tipping your hat to Ye Olde Trib on another grand birthday! Since the first edition rolled off the press in 1883 at the hand of our founder, William Gib-bens, this publication has survived through thick and thin. There are chal-lenges ahead, but hope-fully, with some new ideas and changes from time to time, The Minnedosa Tribune can continue on for many years to come.

By BRION POLLONCouncillor, R.M. of Minto

I would like to take up a few lines of type in order to inform your readers as to the issue of aff airs with the

provincial government’s proposed plan for mandatory municipal amalgamation. Th e comments I am about to make are entirely my own opinion and do not necessarily represent the views of my fellow council members. Section 92 of the Constitution of Canada lays out the division of powers between the federal and provincial governments. One of the exclusive powers of the prov-ince is the regulation of municipalities. As most ratepay-ers are aware the premier has announced his intent to invoke this power and bring about unilateral and radical reform of the municipal level of government in this prov-ince. It would be reasonable to presume that some com-pelling motive would be at play which would require this unprecedented action, however, the reasons for it have been embarrassingly thin. Stories put forth by various ministers in favour of municipal amalgamation are: larg-er municipalities would save vast sums of money by elim-inating administration offi ces through amalgamation, an unknown study from 1964 recommending amalgama-tion, declining populations, too many municipalities, too many councillors, etcetera yet the benefi t of amalgama-tion to the province will be zero. Th e reason for this is that municipalities are mandatory under the Municipal Act to operate in a position of surplus and therefore re-quire no funding for their operations from the province. So it makes no diff erence to the fi nances or operations of the province whether there are 200 municipalities or as in the case of Saskatchewan, 900. Originally written in the 1880’s, the current Munici-pal Act was proclaimed in 1996 and contains several sec-tions, the most contentious of which is Sec. 4. Th at sec-tion deals with municipal amalgamations and simply requires any newly formed (i.e. merged) municipality will have a base population of at least 1,000 residents. As with most legislation, there is wiggle room provided in the form of exceptions so it is possible that an amalgama-tion could occur with less than 1,000 residents and the requirement amounts to more of a guideline. Th e current government is proposing to introduce an amendment to Sec. 4 which would fundamentally alter the previous intent by establishing the 1,000 person threshold for an amalgamation as a statutory minimum requirement for any municipality to actually exist. Th is provision would trigger automatic amalgamation of some 92 of the 197 municipalities who do not meet the population require-ment as determined by the 2011 National Census of

Canada. In addition, every subsequent fi ve year census would make future forced amalgamation a very real pos-sibility since populations change and the fi gure of 1,000 residents will be non-negotiable under the proposed leg-islation. In the past, there have been a small handful of amal-gamations, all combinations of two municipalities and all done with the consent of both parties. Th e proposed legislation would see combinations of two, three or more municipalities being amalgamated, some in hostile cir-cumstances. Ironically, one of the previously merged municipalities will not meet the 1,000 resident minimum requirements and therefore will be merged yet again. We are indeed entering into uncharted water and keep in mind that if the process turns out to be a disaster there will be little hope of turning back. For the past 130 years, the municipal and provincial branches of government have operated as a partnership with a good deal of success. In fact, it was so successful that the subject of wholesale amalgamation of munici-palities had never even been broached with the mem-bership of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities. Customarily, changes of this magnitude would be pre-ceded by a combination of a compelling need for change, lengthy consultations between the aff ected parties, the striking of a commission to issue some sort of feasibil-ity study or at least a report on future demographics fol-lowed by the formulation of a coherent plan of action. In this case, nothing, simply an ultimatum issued out of the blue in the Th rone Speech. Municipalities who are un-able to negotiate terms with their neighbours or refuse to participate in the process will be arbitrarily forced to-gether by provincial fi at. It may seem like a simple thing to view a map of 200 municipalities in this province and casually begin to erase boundaries and create new entities based on mere num-ber crunching, However, unless proposed partner mu-nicipalities are already heavily integrated, amalgamating them can be very complex and therefore a lengthy pro-cess, hence the reason only a few have been attempted. Over the past 50 years a bewildering spider’s web of in-ter-municipal agreements for various large projects have sprung up across the province. Amalgamating two or

more municipalities would create a lot of havoc with the local agreements since the old days of every municipality operating in its own little bubble are long gone. Certainly there are examples where amalgamation makes sense, however the arbitrary method being employed now does not. Most ratepayers are oblivious to the mundane day-to-day operations of the municipality in which they live. Th ose of us who conduct those operations are always looking to the future and doing our best to divine what may be coming down the road so as to make major deci-sions based on what may or may not happen. Part of the process is the fact that we have a stable environment in which to operate. If we are to embark on a path whereby municipalities cannot predict whether or not they will even exist after the next Census makes formulating long term plans, budgeting for major investments and forging inter municipal agreements exceedingly diffi cult if not virtually impossible. In municipal life, as well as in real life, times change. Th ere has been a lot of tinkering with the Municipal Act over the years and a lot of it done with the mutual con-sent and to the mutual benefi t of both the provincial gov-ernment and the AMM. Th roughout 13 decades of im-mense social and economic change the municipal form of government has retained its relevance and for better or worse is the best alternative we have, the other being that it should be abolished and our daily lives run from Winnipeg by the province. If ratepayers and their coun-cils feel that merging with another municipality is in their best interests then so be it. It is after all the democratic way; therefore I am not opposed to amalgamation per se. What I am opposed to is the unfocussed crazy shotgun approach being proposed now. If something isn’t bro-ken, why fi x it?

Dear Editor,

I agree with Brian Stone’s letter in the January 25th pa-per regarding the Sports Complex.

Where is the money coming from to build it and why buy seats for something that’s not even started plus all the good lumber that was burnt from the grandstand and barns. My taxes went up $309.20 last year, plus over $100.00 in 2011, which left me $36.17 of my pension cheque, which didn’t even pay the Hydro, let alone phone, gro-ceries for a month, or a ride to get there to pay them. My farm taxes only went up $133.85. No, I don’t have a crys-tal chandelier or a million dollar deck around it. Th is winter, they haven’t sanded their sidewalks, so people don’t slip and put their backs out, and have to get an ambulance to take them to the hospital, because they couldn’t move from the waist down. I have also slipped and jarred my back. I was in the present arena twice; once to a Ducks Unlimited supper and once before I was married to play Bingo. So if they think I’m helping to pay for this new one, I don’t think so. I’d like to know where my $309.20 really did go?

Shirley Cooper,Minnedosa, MB


Hydroelectricity is one of Manitoba’s lead-

ing exports. You would expect that if it is plentiful, Manitobans would have low Hydro rates. Th at is not the case. We are paying more for our hydro, an ex-tra 4.5% in 2012. Media re-ports suggest that the Pub-lic Utili ties Board panel is considering further rate hike requests from Mani-toba Hydro, such as a 3.5% increase eff ective April 1st. Manitoba Hydro says it needs the money and the NDP is to blame for this increase. Since 2008, the NDP said they intend to spend $21 billion to build a mas-

sive export power busi-ness to supply power to the United States. Th ese plans include the Keeyask and Conawapa power dams as well as Bipole 3, a transmission line that brings the power south. Th is plan is based on a premise that Manitoba Hydro will make money selling excess power to the northern United States. Th e NDP believes that they can recoup the costs of building these dams and Bipole 3 through con-tracts with Minnesota and Wisconsin. Th is might have been reasonable in 2008, but the market has changed.

Alternative energy sources to hydroelectric-ity have increased expo-nentially. Wind power capacity in the states al-ready buying power from Manitoba Hydro has in-creased 520 percent in fi ve years. In North Dakota, new technologies are be-ing used to extract natu-ral gas. Th is dramatically aff ects how much power these states would need to import from Manitoba, along with the price they would be willing to pay for it. NDP’s plan for Mani-toba Hydro will drastically increase Hydro’s debt to $29 billion if these proj-ects go forward and stay on budget. Th e Progressive Con-servative Party of Manito-ba believes we must take a second look at this plan to see if this benefi ts Manito-bans. Power export prices have been dropping as al-ternative energy sources become more popular.

Manitoba Hydro has cut its own forecasted power revenues by 33% since 2010. We have asked for a Needs for and Alterna-tives To Review of all three Manitoba Hydro projects to see if this plan is fea-sible. Th e NDP have re-fused. Th ey have tried to hide the true details from Manitobans through a piecemeal review process that leaves critical ques-tions unanswered. Last week, a mailer was sent to constituents called, “Don’t let the NDP Bankrupt Manitoba Hy-dro”. Th e headline is meant to get your attention. Let’s send the message to the NDP that it’s high time for the NDP to agree to a com-prehensive examination of this plan. Th is NDP mega-project is a gamble that Manitobans are not willing to take. Call or write Pre-mier Greg Selinger to de-mand that review.

Greetings and saluta-tions Tribune read-

ers. Welcome to Cops’ C o r n e r … M i n n e d o s a Style. Who is hoping for spring? I am hoping for a slow melt, but also warm weather soon so I can golf. I feel we’re more than a couple days away from golfi ng though. Alas,

enough of my jabber. Let us talk police business. Minnedosa RCMP responded to 37 calls for service. Police dealt with various things. Th ings like assault, break and enter, animal calls, speeders, liquor act stuff , more ani-mal calls, and some sus-picious folks. Th ere was

other stuff too. Th at’s just a highlight reel of a few things. Some pigs, not chick-ens, but pigs were trying to cross highway #16, or so it was thought to be. Po-lice looked into the mat-ter, and no such pigs were trying to get to the other side. Animal calls… my fa-vourite. Do you have time to read one more animal call? Well you can skip this part if you don’t, but a deer passed away when it got caught in a fence. Not sure how it managed this, one can only assume icy conditions and a funny jump. Anyways, the deer

was removed from the concerned house owner’s yard. For readers who were missing the animal paragraph, I hope this tides you over until next time. Be careful on the roads as the melt begins. Potholes are rising up, or sinking down. Either way, watch out for them. Blowing snow is caus-ing icy conditions around the area as well. It’s warm during the day, and cold at night. Th is equals more ice. You know the drill; take caution when going from point A to point B. A New Brunswick

male was charged $482.25 for speeding this week. He was slowed down from his lofty speed of 133km/hr in the R.M. of Odanah. Traf-fi c services took no mercy on the male and wrote the ticket promptly. Th e male was just passing through friendly Manitoba, and will think twice next time when rolling through. It’s expensive to speed here and you all know it, be-cause you love to read the speeder of the week. And this week, he earned the coveted title. Be safe. See you around town.

“One of the fi rst things Women’s Institutes did was open public restrooms in the towns. In those days people came to Minnedo-sa, and the men could go to the pub, but women were not allowed, and they were there with their chil-dren,” says Edith Parsons. Th e restroom was set up behind the present day pharmacy in Minnedosa, and was operated by the WI for 30 years before the Town took it over. Parsons, Lois Neabel and Marion McNabb channel Annie Lennox’s “Sisters are do-ing it for themselves ” as they talk about the work of Basswood Women’s Insti-tute since its 1910 launch. Th at was 13 years after Ad-elaide Hoodless in Stoney Creek, Ontario realized her baby had died from drink-ing milk. She then present-ed at the Farmer’s Institute to 35 women on what had happened, and how to pre-vent it, and then led a cam-paign for ‘clean milk’. It was the beginning of Women’s Institutes which quickly spread across Canada- groups that gathered rural women to promote edu-cation and ‘raise the level of homemaking’. “Sisters are doing if for everyone ” would be a more accurate lyric: early groups estab-lished six areas of focus: heat, light and sanitation; health including physiol-

ogy, hygiene, calisthenics and medicine; horticul-ture; music art and litera-ture; education; sociology, and legislation. Th e current local WI group includes nine women from Basswood, Minnedosa and Neepawa. McNabb and Neabel are past provincial presidents, along with one other member. And, Neebles, who joined in 1959, and also served on the na-tional board. “We’re quite an elite group, aren’t we?” laughs Parsons. WI continues to sup-port improvements in ru-ral communities, as well as advocating and organiz-ing at provincial, national (Federated Women’s In-stitutes of Canada), and international (Associated Country Women of the World) levels. Parsons believes that one of the concrete impacts for com-munities has continued to be health. “WIs brought in vaccination programs and trained women in safe food handling.” “Th ey even set up vet clinics for doing rabies shots,” adds Neabel. McNabb continues: “One that I’m glad about is about the cost of cancer drugs. When my son was receiving treatments, his pills weren’t covered. Th e Manitoba government re-cently decided to cover the cost of these cancer treat-ments. We weren’t the only

ones calling for this, but we were part of it. We sent the minister a letter thanking them for doing that.” Childcare is an on-going issue that McNabb took leadership on in 1990, chairing a national survey on the issue for rural fami-lies. It was hard to get the need for childcare in farm-ing communities taken se-riously. Says Neabel: “I re-member one woman cry-ing on the phone, saying that she and her husband kept the baby in the truck when they were farm-ing, but the baby cried all the time because didn’t like sitting in the basket on the fl oor of the truck. But she had to drive the truck to bring the grain in and dump it. Another lady got talking and she had no problem with daycare because she told the kids ‘alright now, you stay be-hind that hedge,’ while she backed up with the truck and dumped the grain. She trusted her kids to stay be-hind that hedge. I wouldn’t have trusted mine. But that was her answer. Everyone

had challenges with child-care.” Parsons adds: “It was a big story when a group of farm women opened their childcare service in Plumas. Th e plan was for it to be open all the time, and fl exible for the needs of the community, so it would be open late and on week-ends.” When asked whether

there has ever been con-troversy in their work, McNabb responds: I re-member we had a reso-lution on abortion that came probably from Bass-wood, and it never sur-faced since the provincial exec thought it would be too divisive. Th ere was also a resolution at one time about compulsory seat belts that was defeat-

ed. When I saw that, I said what?!” Laughing, Neabel fol-lows, “It can sometimes get pretty hot and heavy. We don’t always agree, but we have a good discus-sion. Th at’s a strong part of what we do.” International Wom-en’s Day was March 8th.

At 7:30 p.m. on Mon-day, April 15th, the

house lights of the Bend Theatre in Strathclair will dim and the orchestra will begin to play the overture. The curtains will part, the stage lights brought up and the story of Anne and Gilbert will be brought to life. The lighthearted and familiar story is sure to delight audiences from across Manitoba for six consecutive nights. At auditions in Nov-ember, directors Lori Voth, Beccy Ardiel-Voth and Barry McNabb were so impressed by the tal-ented people that came out, that they decided to double-cast a num-ber of the roles to allow more people to partici-pate. Robin Bell and Jes-sica McInnes have been cast as the feisty Anne Shirley, and Dylan Wood-cock will play Anne’s big-gest fan, Gilbert Blythe. Anne’s adopted aunt,

Marilla Cuthbert, will be played by Mary Dalton. Louise McInnes assumes the role of Rachel Lynde, Avonela’s resident busy-body. Anne’s best friend Dianna Barry will be por-trayed by Jillian Beever and Katie Woychyshyn, while Rowena Martin and Jessica McNish will play Josie Pye of Avonlea. The role of Anne’s friend Phillipa Gordon from Redmond has been assumed by Brittany MacDonald and Jessica Arnfinson. Zach Kosciel-ny will bring the role of Moody Spurgeon Mc-Pherson to life, and Shay Harms will play the role of Anne’s love interest, Royal Gardner. Tye Law-rie and Josh Butler will assume the roles of Phil-lipa’s suitors, Alex and Alonzo. A number of other supporting roles have been given to members of the talented chorus. They also make up Anne’s students, Avonlea Towns-

people and Redmond stu-dents. Anne’s students in Avonlea include Danielle Clark, Jacinta Doupe, Daniel Kang, Owen Kominko, Emma Jean Koscielny, Aurora Mik-kelsen, Milah Mikkelsen, Alex Pratt, Rebecca Taylor and Brooks Watson. Devin Allen, Bailey Baker, Zack Deschutter, Yukiko Doi, Grace Kang, Rebecca Kingdon, Shay-lyn Lamb, Kennedy Mof-fat, Emily Pratt, Connor Radcliffe, Gordie Sinclair, Andrea Usick, Heather Waddell, Brock William-son, and Rylee Wruth will be students in both Av-onlea and Redmond Col-lege. The Avonlea towns-people and Redmond students will be played by Brent Allen, Jody Allen, Beccy Ardiel Voth, Wayne Baker, James Comrie, Greg Kirk, Leonard Kos-tesky, Chris Martin, Luella Mikkelsen, Beryl Parrott, Andrea Playter, Sheila Runions, Stan Run-

ions, Joanna Tolton, Dan Voth, and Carlea Wooton. Be sure to check out the posters and the ad in this publication for more information about the upcoming ticket sales. See you at the Bend!

The Franklin Memo-rial Hall Association

is celebrating the arrival of a number of pieces of vintage Canadian Pacifi c Railway silverware, fl at-ware and crockery. Silverware pieces are engraved with CPR initials and are the style and de-sign which were common-ly used on the Canadian Pacifi c dining cars as early as 1910. Most bear the El-kington Plate hallmark. Th ey include: an 11” bread tray for bread and crackers service, a half pint coff ee pot for individ-ual coff ee service, a 9” oval platter for miscellaneous

table service, a 7”oval bak-er for entrée service and a sugar bowl for granulated or cubed sugar service. Th e donated silver-plate fl atware was used on Canadian Pacifi c dining cars as early as the 1890s. Th e service spoon, fork and knife are all engraved with CPR initials. Th ree pieces of crock-ery were also donated in-cluding a 9” brown maple leaf pattern plate. Luncheon plates were used in passenger train service in the 1930s and 1940s. Th e design incorpo-rates a bold art deco style Canadian Pacifi c script with stalks of wheat and maple leaves. Green baker

serving dishes for entrees were used in CPR station restaurants as early as the 1930s. Th e fl owing Cana-dian Pacifi c script appears on the reverse. Th e green band veg-etable dish bears the over-lapping CPR script design from the former Royal Al-exander Hotel in Winni-peg used in the 1930s. Keith Marley, now retired from the CPR, continues to maintain railroad memorabilia at Souris, and Franklin. He contacted CP archives to request a set which was mailed from Montreal. Th e set will be on display with the CPR presentation at the Hall.

Last week’s “Finaliz-ing Your Cropping

Plans 2013” meeting held in Minnedosa proved to be quite informative as producers updated their cropping budgets and fi ne tuned their marketing strategies for both old and 2013 new crop produc-tion. One of the more valu-able MAFRI crop plan-ning tools discussed was the Cost of Production interactive spread sheets available on the MAFRI web site. Th ese interactive spread sheets allow you to compare various cropping options by using suggest-ed values or by inputting your own numbers. New to the spreadsheet for 2013 are the Profi t Margin %, and the Operating Ex-pense Ratio which helps quantify the risk reward in growing a particular crop. RS Wheat at sug-gested values for example has an Operating Expense Ratio of 54% which means you need to spend $54 dollars in expense to get a potential return of $46 which would be available to covered fi xed costs, liv-ing, and service any new debt or expansion. One of the least expensive crops to grow was winter wheat which had an Operating Expense Ratio of 39% fol-lowed by malt barley at 43%, oats at 47% and fl ax

at 50%. Th e most expen-sive or high risk crops to grow include corn at 98% followed by durum wheat at 66%, RS wheat at 54%, feed barley at 55% and canola, ranging from 58-52% depending on the production system. Th is value can be infl uenced signifi cantly by the selling value of the commodity and therefore a pre-pric-ing or contracting strategy at a more profi table level can reduce these values reducing your exposure or risk proportionately. Th is ability to quantify exposure to risk provided a good segue to comments made by ProFarmer Can-ada market analyst Mike Jubinville, who noted that this growing season holds the potential for some ex-treme and what could be historic price swings. Th e range in prices could be from new highs to lows not seen since 2008. Such dramatic price variability leaves both producers and end-users extremely vul-nerable to growing season weather and is why a mar-keting strategy to mitigate risk is so important. Since most crops are still at prof-itable levels incrementally pricing a percentage of new crop production can help protect or off set some of this down side risk. Long term price charts for most commodities all will have old resistance price levels as support for the recent declines from har-vest highs. Th ese are criti-cal price levels to be aware of since a breach of these support levels will see prices move much lower. A supply problem or re-surgence in demand on

the other hand could see a bounce off these levels to what could be new highs. In either event it will be critically important to stay on top of grain and oilseed markets as we move into spring and the beginning of the growing season. One of the easier ways to follow markets and avoid the day to day noise is to use a charting service. If you are active on Twit-ter an excellent “follow” is Prairie Crop Charts @cropcharts or visit www.prairecropcharts.com

Snow Fall Levels and Spring Planting

What a diff erence a year makes. Most will re-call that weather a year ago was absolutely summer like with temperatures in the high teens and not a snow bank to be found. Th is year we have a gener-al three feet of snow cov-ering much of our fi elds with higher amounts in bushes and wetlands with temperatures struggling to reach the minus sin-gle digits as a daily high. One of the more frequent questions last year was how early was too early to commence seeding. Th is year seeding in April looks to be extremely unlikely as we will need a mini-mum of four weeks after the snow melts for fi elds to dry up suffi ciently for fi eld work to begin. Th e temperature outlook for the next 7-10 days contin-ues to point towards be-low normal temperatures and any precipitation to still be in the form of more snow.

The last race of the sea-son before fi nals saw

13 of our racers attend. Th e Barclay Snowbyrd is for rac-ers aged 5-14 and is based on individual performance and an all around team ef-fort. Racers racing for the fi rst time were Quinn Re-ville U6, Vicky Elgert U14 and Mareka Dewar-No-rosky, U14. Th e weather was per-fect, a little cloud cover in the morning but a beauti-ful sunny afternoon. Th e younger members started the race and looked in full control on a steep and often intimidating run. Brook-

lyn Perrett U10 of Neepawa fi nished in second place receiving the silver medal. Jodie Davis of Minnedosa U12 also fi nished in silver place. She had the fastest girls’ time of the afternoon but fi nished short by a tenth for gold. In the boys’ U12 category the fi nal placing were really being fought for with some close times. Neepawa’s Ben Perrett was lying third after the morn-ing run. Th e three contend-ers went all out in the after-noon and after the leading two crashed, Ben moved into the gold medal place. It was a great day of racing. Ben and Jodie will be heading to fi nals being held

in Asessippi next weekend. We had one member, Jodie Davis, attend the Pep-si Challenge in Bottineau, North Dakota, this week-end. Th e challenge is open to any skier with the young-est being two and the eldest a lady in her 60’s. It was a GS style race and Jodie won gold in her age category. She had the fastest ladies’ time and was just short of two seconds on the leading man, a race coach and pre-vious racer from Bottineau. Way to go Jodie. Th is was clearly her best run of the season. Congratulations ev-eryone on a great season of skiing.

On Saturday, March 2nd at the Erickson’s

Annual Mixed Bonspiel, a Mortgage Burning Cer-

emony was held at the Er-ickson Recreation Centre. Th e curlers that were play-ing the 6 o’clock draw, 19 of the 30 guarantors and the ceremonial rock partici-

pants were piped onto the ice by Heather Medwid, a bagpiper from Dauphin. In 2004, the Erickson Recreation Association was faced with two signifi -cant problems. Th e fi rst was the high cost of Hydro; the second was the lack of insulation in the walls, which had a negative im-pact on the ice surface. Th e decision was made to raise funds, and apply for grants to insulate the ceil-ing and walls of the rink, which would address both these concerns. To secure the funding necessary to commence the project it required 30 people sign a mortgage, each guaran-teeing $1,000. During the ceremony the Committee expressed their apprecia-tion, reading all 30 names

of the people with whose assistance, allowed this renovation project to move forward. Th e mortgage is now paid and Ernie Ull-berg, one of the guarantors and a longtime supporter, had the honour of burning the mortgage. Th e opening ceremo-nial rock was thrown by Mac Estabrooks. Mac was also one of the guarantors and in 2004 he spearhead-ed the grant writing and supervised the renova-tion project. Mac’s eff orts with the project and being a current regular curler, made him the perfect can-didate to throw the stone. Making her way down the ice to hold the broom was Leonna Gustafson. Th e honourary sweepers were Harold Stitt and Johnny

Gustafson, all dressed in their retro curling sweat-ers. See bonspiel results on Page 8. In small communities, it is a constant struggle to fi nd volunteers to be part of committees, make phone calls, bake goodies and do all the other work required to keep organiza-tions going. Without these volunteers, there could be no curling club or bon-spiels . It was 75 years ago the idea of having a curling club was fi rst conceived in Erickson, and 73 years since the fi rst bonspiel was held. With the continu-ing support and partici-pation of everyone in the future, we hope bonspiels will continue on for many more years to come.

PeeWee 12s

By CRISSY KOWAL

Minnedosa’s Pee Wee 12’s last hockey ac-

tion of the season took place on the weekend of March 8th-10th as they travelled to Sagkeeng for the Pee Wee “A” Provin-cials. Th e team faced some tough competition in their three games played and unfortunately were unable to record a win. Th eir fi rst and best played game saw Sag-keeng narrowly slip by them with a 5-4 win scor-ing the winning goal with less than three minutes to play. Braeden Good 2G; Matthew Kowal 1G; Jayden Kreller 1G; Single assists to Colin Robinson, Aus-tin Hall, Zane MacDon-ald, Jayden Kreller and Nathan Dornn; Joe Lane between the pipes. Th eir second game of the day vs Boissevain saw them down 4-1 after the second. Th e team found some life in the third but it would not be enough with the fi nal score ending 7-4. Zane MacDonald 2G/2A; Braeden Good 1G/2A; Na-than Dornn 1G; Jayden Kreller 2A; Lawson Yates 1A; Max Dowsett 1A; Jayden Morrice and Joe

Lane sharing goalten-der duties. Th e Bomber’s headed straight to the Consolation Final on Sun-day where they faced off with Beausejour. A tight game for the fi rst two pe-riods found the two teams tied at two apiece head-ing into the fi nal frame. Beasejour came on strong in the third and would go on to win with a score of 6-2. Zane MacDonald 1G/1A; Braeden Good 1G/1A; Jayden Kreller 2A; Joe Lane defending the net. Lots of fun and plen-ty of laughs over the week-end made it an awesome way to end the season. Enjoy your summer every-one!

Atoms

By JENN MERRITT

The Atoms team began their second round

of playoff s, on March 5th against the Ste. Rose Roy-als, with their fi rst game taking place in Minnedo-sa. It was a slow start in the fi rst period but the Bombers still managed to top-shelf two goals. Minnedosa would add an-other two goals in the sec-ond, to advance the score 4-0. Finally, the Bombers

would dominate in the third period, netting an-other four goals to solidify the 8-0 victory, over the Royals. Goals/assists were awarded to: Carter Hedley (2G, 4A), Kayden Suther-land (2G, 2A), Bryden McFarlane (2G), Rob-ert Tomlinson (1G, 2A), Chase Miller (1G), Lucas Parrott (2A), Aleah Mor-rice (1A), Chloe Kushner (1A), Ethan Adnum (1A), Kanyon Flick (1A), Gra-ham Bailey (1A) and Kon-lyn Nemetchek with (1A). Minnedosa goalie, Cole Cibula played an out-standing game, securing himself a well deserved shutout. “Well played, Cole!” As you can see the whole team pitched in for the win. Th ey didn’t let up for one period. Th ey had a combination of some great goaltending, paired with great defense play, paired with some great passing and scoring op-portunities. It’s so nice to see when a team comes together in such a way, that it displays all of their talents equally. Excellent team work, Atoms! Good job also goes out to Max Dowsett, for supplying the game with some fun, up-lifting mu-sic between whistles. I defi nitely think the music gave our kids a boost, to

play extra hard. Th e very next eve-ning, the Bombers team loaded up and travelled to McCreary, for what they hoped would be their fi -nal game of the season against Ste. Rose. Another win would knock out the Royals and advance the Bombers into the next stage of playoff s. Period one was an intense round, with both teams matched at one a piece. It would be an-other story in the second, as Minnedosa took off scoring four quick goals, bringing the score to 5-1. Each team would net one more goal in the third, which would secure the 6-2 win for the Bombers. Goals/assists were awarded to: Kayden Sutherland (4G), Cart-er Hedley (1G, 2A) and Bryden McFarlane with (1G, 1A). A pat on the hel-met goes out to Kayden Sutherland, for achieving a hat trick on his individu-al 70 sec. shift. Not some-thing you see to often. Great work, Kayden!

What a weekend for the Minnedosa Nov-

ice Bombers! In Round #2 of the playoff s we were up against the Neepawa Hawks, and after successfully win-ning two out of three pos-sible games we went onto Round #3 against Elkhorn. Elkhorn visited Minnedosa on March 8th and after much determi-nation we came out on top with a score of 9-4! Goals were scored by Cole Topham and Victor Lamb assisting these goals was Callie Maguire, Owen Kingdon, Luke Gugin, Kaylea Madill, and Kyler Sutherland. Excellent play-ing players! We took a break from playoff s on Saturday, March 9th and joined Mc-Creary for their home tournament. Th e Bomb-ers were defeated 7-10 against the Dauphin Red but won against the Ste.

Rose Royals 8-1. Both teams were challenging but lots of teamwork was shown by all! Good job Victor Lamb and Dayan Hunter who were excellent goalies for both games. All teams participated in a “Coaches’ Challenge” hav-ing to push their coaches around the ice as they were sitting on the goal net. Th e Bombers had the quickest time of 1 minute and 8 sec-onds and won a round of goodies for the team! March 10th the Bomb-ers travelled to Elkhorn and came out on top once again in Game #2 of Round #3 with a score of 5- 3. Goals were scored by Austin Tay-lor, Cole Topham, and Vic-tor Lamb. We fought really hard for this win and every player should feel proud that in the moment when they needed to pull to-gether they did! Good job Dayan, who was an excel-lent goalie! Off to the fi nals against Ste. Rose! Wish us luck!

Edith “Ede” EverittFebruary , -

March , Edith “Ede” Everitt of Newdale,

Manitoba, passed away at the Southwood Care Centre, Calgary, Alberta on March 6, 2013. She was born Edith Mary Elizabeth Tebb in Gerald, Saskatchewan, on February 14, 1920, the seventh of 14 children.

Ede married Roy Kenneth Everitt, October 4, 1941 and the

young couple spent the balance of the War in Kingston, Ontario:

Roy in the army; Ede employing her sewing skills making parachutes, uniforms

and other equipment. After the War, they returned to the Everitt family farm in Newdale, Manitoba, where Ede became part of the farming community, sharing Roy’s passion for the land and helping run the farm while raising four daughters. Ede learned the art of sewing from her mother at a young age; skills and talents she later bestowed in her daughters. She was renowned for crafting her own wardrobe, clothing for family members, and her quilts – many which became cherished gifts to family and friends. Ede was an avid reader; loved poetry and had a passion for travel that took her and Roy to the Caribbean, Europe, Egypt, Latin America and throughout North America. In 1999, after Roy’s death, Ede moved to Calgary, Alberta to be near her daughters. Ede is predeceased by her husband, parents, seven brothers, and six sisters. She is survived by daughters Carole Wilson (Woodstock, ON), Donna Hazelton (Digby, NS), Sharon Milner (Calgary, AB), and Brenda Everitt (Calgary, AB), eight grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. Funeral service was held at the Strathclair United Church, Strathclair, Manitoba, on March 11, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. with the interment following in the Strathclair Cemetery. Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to Minnedosa Funeral Services, Minnedosa, Manitoba. In lieu of fl owers donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

A big Th anks to our Pee Wee 12s Coaches and Manager for all of their hard work, time and eff ort put into the team over the past few months. Th anks to the par-ents for another fun winter. A huge Th ank-you to all of our players for providing all of us with another wonderful hock-ey year full of good times, ex-citing plays and great sports-manship! (x)
