M
innedosa Colligate
has a special group
of students who have dedi-
cated much of their free
time to actively helping
out both local and interna-
tional causes.
Te C.HA.N.G.E.
Committee, which stands
for Citizens Helping All
Nations Grow Equally, is a
student-run group that has
raised funds and volun-
teered for many diferent
causes such as Minnedosa
Palliative Care, Minnedosa
Lions Club, Minnedo-
sa Food Cupboard, the
Christmas Cheer Board,
Run for NF, Philippine
Hurricane Relief, Opera-
tion Christmas Child, and
Blancos Children project,
as well as donating to a
school for underprivileged
kids in Liberia.
Tis Sunday, March
16th, Minnedosa Colli-
gates C.HA.N.G.E com-
mittee will be hosting their
2014 Beneft.
Te event, will host
both live and silent auc-
tions, cofee, tea and des-
sert as well as a variety of
speakers that will shed
some light on what the stu-
dents have been up to all
year.
Being involved in
a group like this is really
good. It is a good thing
helping other people in
our community and all
around the world, said
Josh Woychyshyn, student
member of C.H.A.N.G.E.
Te student group cur-
rently has 18 members and
meets every Day 5 to plan
fundraising and volunteer
eforts.
All of the funds that
we raise during our beneft
will be put towards our ef-
forts with Blancos Kids.
Tis month
we also have
the change for
C. H. A. N. G. E.
which is a
c o mpe t i t i o n
between our
home rooms
to see who can
collect the most
change to do-
nate, added
Woychyshyn.
B l a n c o s
Kids is a project
that provides
educational, nutritional
and health support to Hai-
tian orphans and other
impoverished children.
Te project is a collabora-
tive efort between the Do-
minican Republic Health
Outreach Project, the com-
munity of Costambar in
the Dominican Republic
as well as Canadian and
American supporters.
Te children that
beneft from the eforts of
Blancos Kids have all ex-
perienced extreme pov-
erty, hunger and lack of
access to school or health
care.
Many children that are
born of Haitian descent in
the Dominican Republic
are refused birth certif-
cates and therefore have
no legal status as citizens
of either the Dominican
Republic or Haiti.
Recent changes in Do-
minican law now permit
Haitian children to attend
public school
t h r o u g h
grade 8, but
for many this
is impossible
as students
are required
to buy uni-
forms, school
supplies and
pay subscrip-
tion fees.
C u r -
rently, this
initiative has
sponsored 35
children. Te children live
in Javillar, a poor commu-
nity located close to Cost-
ambar, in Amistad batey, a
Dominican Haitian com-
munity situated to the west
of the town of Imbert and
at Blancos Place in Cafem-
ba, a community adjacent
to Costambar.
Being involved with
C.H.A.N.G.E. really opens
your eyes to things that
are going on in the rest of
the world and helps to get
us prepared for life after
high school, added Woy-
chyshyn.
Many of the students
within the group agreed
that they would likely con-
tinue to volunteer and help
fundraise as they grow into
community adults because
they have seen the benefts
that it has for themselves
as well as the community.
Tis Sunday presents
a great opportunity for
the residents of Minnedo-
sa to engage with the
C.H.A.N.G.E. committee,
support their eforts and
encourage their dedica-
tion to helping out in the
community.

wan and Alberta at 3.7% followed by Newfoundland and
Labrador at 2.8%. Manitoba came in third at 2.7% fol-
lowed by British Columbia at 2.6% and New Brunswick
and Ontario both at 2.1%. Quebecs remained stable at

T
he Manitoba govern-
ment recently an-
nounced the dedication
of $7 million annually to
be allocated towards in-
stalling sprinkler retrofts
in personal care homes,
group homes as well
as health care facilities
throughout the province.
Te announcement
comes a little over a month
after a deadly fre at a nurs-
ing home in LIsle-Verte,
Quebec, where 27 people
were killed and fve more
are still considered miss-
ing after a fre destroyed
the nursing home that was
not equipped with sprin-
kler safety.
Along with a $7 mil-
lion annual fund, the
Manitoba government
will also be assembling a
task force to see if further
improvements need to be
made in other health care
facilities across the prov-
ince.
A f re safety fund will
also be created to set aside
$2 million to support ad-
ditional standards and
safety reviews.
Te task force will as-
semble with the goal of
reviewing f re safety in
facilities that care for vul-
nerable people. It will be
chaired by staf from the
Of ce of the Fire Commis-
sioner and will include
representatives from the
Manitoba building stan-
dards board, the Manitoba
association of Fire chiefs,
front-line fre services, re-
gional health authorities
and several provincial de-
partments.
Input is also being
sought from the Long Term
and Continuing Care Asso-
ciation of Manitoba, local
certif ed sprinkler system
installers, and municipal
governments.
Te task force will ex-
amine a range of fre and
life safety activities includ-
ing fre protection and ear-
ly warning systems, code
enforcement and inspec-
tions, education and pre-
vention as well as emer-
gency and fre planning.
Te Manitoba Gov-
ernment expects recom-
mendations from the task
force this fall.
Many of the health
care facilities in Mani-
toba, including personal
care homes, were built
to building standards in
place when they were
constructed.
Up until 1998, build-
ing codes did not require
sprinkler systems. In 1998,
building codes changed
and required new build-
ing construction or reno-
vation projects to have
sprinkler systems.
Te Minnedosa Per-
sonal Care Home built in
1973/1974 was opened in
1975 and currently does
not have a sprinkler sys-
tem.
Across Manitoba there
are currently 125-licensed
personal care homes. 54
of these have full sprinkler
systems installed, 35 have
no sprinklers and 36 have
partial sprinklers.

T
he Selinger government had promised a physi-
cian for every Manitoban. Minnedosa families are
scrambling to fnd adequate medical care. A recent an-
nouncement in Te Minnedosa Tribune revealed an-
other doctor is leaving the Minnedosa Medical Group
as of March 14th. Te ad notes the clinic does not have
the resources to accommodate all of his patients.
Te ongoing NDP mismanagement of our rural
health care services in particular doctor shortages
has caused recent weekend Emergency Room closures
at the Minnedosa Health Centre. Tis lack of rural
health care services is unacceptable. Te Minnedosa
and surrounding community deserves more - better
health care, better communication and action not
excuses.
Tis continues the shocking disregard for health
services outside of Winnipeg. Te NDP government,
when questioned about rural ER closures in the past
and the safety risks these closures cause for Manito-
bans who need emergency medical care, has said the
Shock and Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) heli-
copter ambulance is the solution for transporting rural
patients to emergency services. However, STARS was
grounded by the NDP government, and they have not
disclosed to the Manitoba public a rationale for mak-
ing this decision.
Clearly this government has lost focus as to what
matters most. Despite paying some of the highest taxes
in the country, rural Manitoba families are witnessing
the continued deterioration of access to health care
services including doctors in clinics and emergency
rooms service. Tis directly contradicts the hype from
the Selinger government, which ironically told Mani-
tobans, Ensuring every Manitoban has access to care
when they need it is not only good for patients and
families, its also vital for the long-term sustainability
of our public health-care system.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do
not hesitate to contact me. Please see ad in the Busi-
ness Directory for contact information.

Happy Anniversary
Another year has rolled around and with this edition
we recognize Te Minnedosa Tribunes 131st anniversary!
Todays edition marks number one of volume number 132.
Tere have been many changes to our operation and the
newspaper industry since our founder, William Gibbens
rolled the frst edition of Te Tribune of the press back in
March 1883. Times are certainly changing and more and
more we are seeing a trend heading over to online news,
advertising, etc. It is my hope that the actual printed news-
paper will still be around for readers to pick up and enjoy
for many years to come. With the support of our advertis-
ers and readers, the old Tribune will keep pluggin along!
Its about time
Great news for our province came late last week when
the government, on the advice of medical professionals,
resumed the Shock Air Rescue Society (STARS) air ambu-
lance service in Manitoba. Tis most valuable emergency
service was grounded last fall after a few patient trans-
ports had negative outcomes. A medical review process
has been completed and a number of new measures have
been implemented to enhance patient safety with STARS.
Since STARS frst arrived in Manitoba three years ago, it
has fown 676 missions which resulted in the transporta-
tion of 439 patients. I am extremely pleased to hear this
most valuable emergency service is back in operation. Its
important to each and every one of us!
Similar view
I have recieved more positive comments on my View-
point last week than ANYTHING I have EVER written for
Te Tribune ! Im sure there are others who disagreed and
thats perfectly okay. Everyone is entitled to his or her own
opinion. In order to make things happen in any communi-
ty, we dont have to agree but we do have to work together,
share ideas and opinions and go about it with a proactive
and positive approach. Nothing gets done when we take
a negative approach, point fngers and bash one another.
Lets try to work together, treat one another with some re-
spect and get things done for our community, its residents
and its future. Its the only way a community can survive!

H
ello, greetings and
salutations. Welcome
back to Cops Corner.
Manitoba pulled a bit
of a prank last weekend
by warming up to tem-
peratures above 0 degrees
Celsius. First time since
November? (correct me if
Im wrong, its only an as-
sumption) but she is cool
again tonight as I write the
article.
Police responded to 33
calls for service this last re-
porting period.
As I am writing the ar-
ticle this week I must say
that I have cold feet. It has
nothing to do with mar-
riageinstead let me tell
you a story. Another epic
animal call.
A concerned citizen
called about a deer in their
yard. Te deer seemed
to have given up. He was
stuck in the snow and
couldnt muster up the
strength to get himself out
of it. My initial thought was
that the deer was prob-
ably hungry and too weak
to move. He was however
stuck in snow that came up
to my waist when I walked
in it. Te house owner dug
a trench into the deer and
I encouraged the deer to
move a bit. He would hop
a few times then settle
into the snow again. In
the end I trenched a path
for the deer to walk out of
the yard. We left the deer
where he was. If he man-
aged to get some strength,
we had at least made an
easier path for him to walk
away. Cst. Sample is fetch-
ing me some dry socks as I
am typing this.
People are apparently
using guns to shoot at stop
signs in the Bethany area. If
you have any information
about this, or any other
crime, please contact the
Minnedosa RCMP. I know
we live in a rural area, but
come on folks, let us be
a little more responsible.
You can be charged with
careless use of a frearm,
so cut it out.
A 27-year-old female
from Swan Lake fetched
the top prize this week for
speed. She was travelling
134 km/hr in a 100km/hr
zone. So I guess it could
have been worse if that was
in a 70km/hr zone, but at
the end of the day she was
issued a $495.50 ticket for
her gross misuse of the gas
pedal. Next time she trav-
els Highway #10, I hope/
imagine she will keep her
speed a bit lower.
See you around town.
And as Cst. Sample likes to
say, have a good safe day.

M
arch is Fraud Pre-
vention Month and
Manitoba Public Insur-
ance is dedicated to re-
ducing this crime and
educating Manitobans
on how they can assist in
keeping auto insurance
premiums low.
Were encourag-
ing Manitobans to come
forward and speak out
against auto insurance
fraud, said MaryAnn
Kempe, vice-president,
Community and Corpo-
rate Afairs, Manitoba
Public Insurance.
Te Corporation has
a dedicated TIPS Line,
which is a valuable source
of information for our in-
vestigators. Auto insur-
ance fraud, if undetected,
has an impact on all hon-
est Manitobans.
Manitoba Public In-
surances TIPS Line is:
204-985-8477 or toll-free
1-877-985-8477. All calls
are anonymous. All suspi-
cious claims are handled
by Manitoba Public In-
surances Special Inves-
tigation Unit (SIU). Te
eforts of this special unit
resulted in fraud savings
last year of more than $9
million for Manitoba auto
insurance rate payers. Te
SIU will investigate about
3,000 claims yearly.
Tis fnancial f gure
is based on an estimate
of money recovered and
fraudulent claims denied,
said Kempe. Tese fraud
savings are the direct re-
sult of Manitobas public
auto insurer focusing on
all aspects of auto insur-
ance fraud, be it organized
groups, vehicle fres, hit
and run or bodily injury.
Kempe explained that
Manitoba Public Insur-
ances continually reviews
its anti-fraud strategies,
specifcally aimed at keep-
ing step with fraudsters.
Insurance fraud - au-
tomobile, home or health
care - costs Canadians
more than $3 billion a year
in insurance premiums,
according to the Insur-
ance Bureau of Canada.
Organizations around the
world lose an estimated
f ve percent of their an-
nual revenues to fraud,
according to a survey of
fraud experts conducted
by the Association of Cer-
tif ed Fraud Examiners
(ACFE).

A
few lucky students
from Rolling River
School Division will soon
be taking off for an ad-
venture of a lifetime.
Twenty-six grade 11
and 12 French students
from Minnedosa Colli-
gate, Elton Colligate and
Rivers Colligate will be
travelling on a study tour
to France from March
25th- April 2nd.
We began planning
this trip about two years
ago. This is the third year
that MCI has planned one
of these trips and the sec-
ond time that I have been
involved with the event,
said Sandra Enns, teacher
and chaperon with MCI.
Education First, a
study tour group from To-
ronto that plans trips like
these for school groups
has helped MCI plan the
trip.
Education First has
given us so much sup-
port and made planning
a study tour like this so
much easier than if we
were to do it on our own.
They offer endless sup-
port and advice, supply
our group with calling
cards and backpacks as
well as guide us through
the process of arranging
all of the flights, ground
transportation and ac-
commodations.
The students, who
are all involved in the
schools French program,
will have the opportunity
to experience what its like
to be in a country where
French is the native lan-
guage as well as take in a
number of historical sites.
Everything that we
will be seeing and doing
is built right into our cur-
riculum. The trip begins
in Paris where we will take
in a number of different
sites including the Eiffel
Tower, The Lou, Verse,
the Cathedral, and from
there we will travel to the
Ruins and the beaches of
Normandy, explained
Enns.
The study tour has
planned one teacher
chaperon for every six
students.
We are feeling quite
confident in that is a great
ratio to be travelling with.
The last trip was made
with 43 travellers so this
will be quite a bit more
manageable. I think the
biggest issue we will like-
ly have on the trip is not
having enough time to
see and take in everything
that we are wanting to.
There is so much to see
and only so many hours
in the day, continued
Enns.
Many of the students
embarking on the trip
have never travelled be-
fore. In preparation for
the trip organizers have
been meeting with the
student group once a
month in order to better
get to know one another,
review different safety as-
pects of travel, what stu-
dents should expect from
customs and packing tips.
I feel very good
about the level of prepa-
ration our students have.
People from rural areas
often make amazing trav-
ellers. They are very po-
lite and often very con-
siderate of what is going
on around them. The stu-
dents are very excited and
the excitement is certain-
ly building the closer we
get to our take off date.
Students have been
planning and saving for
the excursion for two
years. On average, each
student was required to
raise $3,000 for the trip.
There have been a
few snags along the way
and getting all of the stu-
dents organized in terms
of paperwork and pass-
ports has been a lot of
work but it has all gone
fairly well.
Enns notes that
she has received great
support from both the
schools involved as well
as from Rolling River
School Division.
Travel is something
that I am very passionate
about and I think that it
has so many benefits for
young people. Living in
small communities you
are sometimes fairly iso-
lated and travelling opens
their eyes to the rest of
the world and gives them
a better concept of where
we are in the world as well
as how many opportuni-
ties are truly out there,
she added.

Peewee
By LAURA GOOD
M
arch 7th was Pee-
wee B Provincials in
Souris. Te Peewee Bomb-
ers played Friday, March
7th at 10:00 a.m. against
the home team the Souris
Elks. Souris is a strong
team and the Bombers
knew they were matched
against a very strong op-
ponent. Te Bombers kept
pace for the frst period
down 2-1, but could not
keep the game close. Tey
ended the game at 11-1.
Lone goal scored by Zane
MacDonald. Next game
was not until 7:00 that
night against the Russell
Rams. Up 3-0 at the end
of frst period, the Bomb-
ers were of to a great start.
Te second period saw a
goal for each team and the
third period saw two goals
for each team. Bombers
won 6-3. Zane MacDon-
ald with a hat trick and 2
assists, Josh Good 2G/2A,
Kayden Sutherland 1G and
Carter Hedley and Josh
Kingdon each with an as-
sist.
Saturday, March 8th,
the Bombers versed the
Boissevain Border Kings.
Tis game would deter-
mine if the Bombers would
place second or third in
their pool. With only eight
seconds into the game,
Boissevain was frst on
the board. Two and half
minutes later, Boissevain
scored again. Te Bomb-
ers struggled to get shots
on the Boissevain net and
after the second period
Bombers were down three
nothing with only eight
shots on Boissevains net
compared to Boissevains
33 shots on Minnedo-
sa. Brad Letain played a
strong game in net to keep
the Bombers in the game.
In classic Bombers style,
they came out strong in the
third period. Tey man-
aged two goals in the third
period and put lots of pres-
sure on Boissevain, but
could not come out with
the third goal to tie. Final
score 3-2 for Boissevain.
Zane MacDonald 1G/1A,
Kayden Sutherland 1G
and Josh Kingdon 1A. Tis
would put the Bombers
third in their pool and to
the consolation fnals on
Sunday.
Sunday, the Bombers
played Lakeside for the
consolation f nals. Once
again the opposing team
was f rst on the board.
Bombers responded with
three goals and ended the
frst period with a lead of
3-1. Bombers continued
to skate hard and move the
puck. Some great passing
resulted in scoring chanc-
es and goals. Te Bomb-
ers won the consolation
f nal with a score of 9-2.
Zane MacDonald 3G/4A,
Kayden Sutherland 3G/2A,
Lucas Parrott 2G, Josh
Good 1G, Andy Peckover
2A, Ethan Bruce, Liam
Christopher, Lucas Beatty,
Devan Beatty each with an
assist. Brad Letain played
a strong game in net for
the Bombers throughout
the weekend. Great job
Bombers!

L
eague playofs be-
gan for Te Bombers
on Friday, February 28th
when the team faced of
with Brandons Kelleher
Leafs in what would be a
one-sided game in favour
of Minnedosa. Tey car-
ried a 4-0 lead into the sec-
ond period and despite be-
ing short-handed for most
of the middle frame on
what some might say were
questionable calls, the
team kept up the pace and
continued to put the puck
in the net. A couple more
in the third would result
in a 9-1 win for Minnedo-
sa. Hat-trick for Josh
Belcher plus 2A; Joel Hny-
bida 2G,4A; Dallas Loewen
1G,1A; Braeden Good
1G,1A; Hayden Crampain
1G; Austin Hall 1G; Nathan
Dornn 1A; Joe Lane in net.
Minnedosa contin-
ued their dominant play
on Sunday, March 2nd vs
Te Jets in what started out
looking like a tight game
as Brandon scored two
quick goals to tie things
up mid-way through the
f rst period. Te Bomb-
ers answered back just as
quickly with their fourth
goal hitting the mesh with
only three seconds left
in the frst. Te Jets held
them to only two goals in
the second but it would be
in the third frame where
Te Bombers would light
up the scoreboard as they
sent seven unanswered
goals past Brandons net-
minder. Minnedosa put up
their highest scoring game
of the season with a 13-3
win and placed them frst
in Pool B. Josh Belcher
was the scoring machine
this game with a double
hat-trick and 4A; Hat-trick
to Braeden Good + 2A; Joel
Hnybida 1G,4A; Hayden
Crampain 1G,2A; Nathan
Dornn 1G and Elmer Yew-
Gaywish with his frst of
the season which caused
both the stands and bench
to erupt (even though it
was already our 13th goal)
+1A: Single assists to Ri-
ley Barrett, Max Dowsett,
Dallas Loewen and Nick
Henry. Jayden Morrice be-
tween the pipes.
A win it or go home
game on Tursday, March
6th put Te Bombers back
on the big ice at Westman
Place vs Te Predators
who had given us three
close games in the regular
season. Minnedosa came
out a little fat in the frst
period but luckily only one
shot managed to slip past
goaltender Joe Lane, giv-
ing Te Preds a 1-0 lead
heading into the second.
As they had done so many
games during the regular
season, Te Bombers sud-
denly came to life and in
two minutes, 49 seconds
found themselves with a
3-1 lead and never looked
back from there. Brandon
managed one more goal in
the third but it wouldnt be
near enough as Minnedo-
sa tallied three more and
skated of the ice with a 6-2
victory. Hayden Crampain
2G; Joel Hnybida 2G; Josh
Belcher 1G,1A; Riley Bar-
rett 1G; Single assists to
Dallas Loewen, Austin Hall
and Max Dowsett.
T e win gave
Minnedosa a trip to the
League Championship
game which they played
on Sunday, March 9th vs
Brandons Heritage Co-op
Wild. Tese two teams had
met four times during the
season with each winning
two games so it was sure
to be an exciting match.
Brandon struck frst early
in the game and carried a
1-0 lead into the middle
frame. Te two teams bat-
tled in a fast paced game
and at the mid-way mark
T e Wild struck again.
Minnedosa answered back
shortly after but minutes
later a third goal found
its way past the goal line
giving Brandon some
breathing room heading
into the fnal 20 minutes.
Minnedosa never let up do-
ing all they could to try and
even the score but a tough
defense and a fourth goal
with just under 13 minutes
to play made it a tough
climb for our Bombers. At
the fnal buzzer a 4-1 win
rewarded Te Wild with
the title of League Cham-
pions. Minnedosa goal
scored by Hayden Cram-
pain, assisted by Braeden
Good. Goaltending duties
shared by Jayden Morrice
and Joe Lane. Well Bomb-
ers, it wasnt the ending
you were hoping for but
hold your heads high be-
cause you guys played an
awesome fnal and we are
proud of all of you!
Once again another
hockey season has come to
an end. Its been a season
full of fun and laughter,
loads of oohs and ahhs,
so many of how did that
not go in? followed up by
how did he even see that
shot? and of course the
odd whos kid is that in
the penalty box? (usually
their fathers).
THANK YOU
Te Bantam Bomb-
ers would like to send a
huge Tank-you to Mi-
chael Birch and Shane
Jury for their awesome
coaching this season! Our

Tanks also to our
Manager Barry Good
for all his time and ef-
fort in making the season

Mountain
By KEN KINGDON
T
here comes a time
when most Canadians,
whether they would admit
it or not, want to play hock-
ey. Tat was my dream,
too, until I turned 40 or so.
Ive played my fair
share of hockey, albeit not
the organized ice-hockey
type: street hockey, foor
hockey, and a bit of shinny
in the fall while the ice was
clear of snow.
But to play real hockey
hockey where you had
to wear equipment, use a
hockey stick that wasnt all
taped up and half broken,
and play on sharpened
skates, well that was an un-
fulflled dream. A dream
which, in the end, turned
out to be wholly attainable.
Because, like countless
communities across Can-
ada, Onanole is home to a
mens recreational hockey
league.
League might be a bit
too strong of a word. We
cant regularly muster
enough players to get more
than two teams out on the
ice, so its basically white
jerseys against black ones.
Which team you play on
is decided simply by what
you fnd in your hockey
bag, or which sweater
smells the least ofensive.
Te OHL, as it is
known, is made up of the
typical bunch of guys.
Most are men who played
organized hockey into
their teens, and then were
drafted straight into the
beer league. Others made
it to the Junior A or B lev-
el. Tese guys are the fast
guys, the guys with good
hands, the guys that make
it look easy.
And then there is the
next step up the pros
guys who literally got paid
money to play the game.
Tey are the guys whose
passes are always on the
tape, the ones who could,
if they wanted, score from
the blue line with impunity
(but never want to show
of), and the guys who take
one stride down the ice for
every three the rest of us of
take.
At the entirely other
end of the spectrum lies
... me. I am, I can say with
some degree of certainty,
the worst player on the
ice at any given time. Not
that you should feel badly
for me...I love it out there,
and can likely claim having
the biggest smile on the
ice. And, being the worst
player on the ice has left
me with plenty of time for
some observations on the
unspoken rules of beer
league hockey.
Te frst is that the
players only play as hard
as they have to. When the
ice is good, and the bench
is full, then the game is
fast and furious. If, on the
other hand, its been a long
weekend, then the pace is
slightly more bucolic.
Te second rule is
that, no matter the pace
of the game, its amazing
the way that the defence
seems to melt away when
the worst skaters (i.e. me)
come down on a one-on-
one.
Rule number three
goaltenders arent quite so
likely to ease up. Of course,
thats their prerogative, as
nobody likes to get scored
on.
Tere is one other ob-
servation that I have made:
a few years of formalized
hockey makes a diference
to your skills years later.
Ive watched with envy
the guys who quit playing
when they were 11 or 12
years old but then started
again 30 years later. Amaz-
ingly, after a couple of
matches, its like they nev-
er left the game.
Me, not so much. I
kind of skate like a stif ro-
bot. Ive noticed the same
thing with all the guys who
never played as kids legs
straight, inefective strides,
wooden hands.
Happily, I improve a
little bit more each year.
When I frst started, I
found my equipment
very useful to prevent
self-harm. Running into
the boards, running into
the net, running into my
own players all were my
standard hazards. I pretty
much played for the other
team for the frst three or
four years, mainly by get-
ting in the way of my own
team.
I am no longer as
much of a danger to myself
and others as I used to be,
and am competent enough
to avoid most people. Ive
also elevated my game
to a point that I am start-
ing to learn the nuances
of the game like know-
ing where to be, keeping
my stick on the ice and
keeping my head up. You
know, the things every
seven-year-old knows.
Ode to the OHL
By Dr. BETH EAGAN,
Chiropractor
I
have a number of people come into our
clinic complaining of pain frst thing in
the morning when they get up. A contrib-
uting factor to their pain is sleep posture.
I would like to review a few helpful tips
on sleep posture to minimize pain.
A very common sleep posture is
sleeping on one side with the knees and
hips bent and aligned. Tis position does
not support the upper leg and the top
knee tends to slide forward resting on the
mattress. Tis causes rotation through
the lumbar spine, maintaining the posi-
tion throughout the night can cause in-
jury to the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joints
and hip. To prevent this, place a pillow
between your knees, to keep a neutral
pelvis and lumbar position.
When sleeping on your back with
your legs straight out, it places tension
through the lumbar spine. By placing
a pillow under the knees it causes knee
fexion which removes the pressure
through the lumbar spine.
Sleeping on your stomach is one of
the worst positions for your spine. It does
not support the curvatures in the lumbar
spine and the neck. In order for you to
breathe in this posture you have to rotate
your neck, which can cause injury. I treat
a lot of stomach sleepers with chronic
neck pain. If you cannot sleep any other
way, place a pillow under your pelvis,
and a very thin or no pillow under your
head.
I have written previously about the
proper pillow for neck posture when
sleeping. Ensure that your neck stays
straight and is not pushed forward, back-
ward when sleeping on your back, or to
one side when sleeping on your side.
Finding a comfortable sleep posture
that does not stress the spine will go a
long way to minimizing pain and help
you wake well rested.

W
e send our sympa-
thy to Barb and Rod
Pederson and family of
Medicine Hat following the
death of her Aunt, Martha
Kroeker, in the house fre
that occurred in Boissev-
ain last week. Her Uncle,
Wally Kroeker, is in Win-
nipeg hospital with fairly
severe burns.
Ravens Glen WI held
their February 27th meet-
ing at Harrison House with
eight members braving the
cold weather. Te busi-
ness meeting was conclud-
ed and a motion was made
to hold our future meet-
ings at the Drop-In Centre.
Tis is a cost saving mea-
sure as our organization
does not have the fund-
raising events we former-
ly hosted. Lynne Tolton
gave a very informative
program on the increas-
ing risk of osteoporosis in
senior women and men.
For every four women di-
agnosed with it one man
is diagnosed. Studies have
shown that we begin losing
bone mass by age thirty,
so to decrease our chance
of developing osteoporo-
sis, we need calcium and
vitamin D. Women and
men need to be encour-
aged to drink milk (even
skim milk works) and take
at least 1000 IU of vitamin
D daily. Sheona Smith had
the closing followed by a
social time.
Te community sends
our sincere sympathy to
Jim and Peter Harvey and
families on the loss of their
father, Gordon Harvey,
last week, hed been in
Hamiota Hospital for over
a month. Te funeral was
held on March 8th at the
Bend Teatre. Many of our
Newdale residents have
sang and acted with Gor-
don during his 30-year ca-
reer with both the Drama
Club and Dinner Chorus.
Enid Clark, Joan Clem-
ent, MWI President and
Ann Mandziuk attended
the Manitoba Womens
Institute Board meeting
in Portage on March 3rd.
Following the meeting the
MWI Board travelled on
to Headingly where they
spent the night, with an-
other morning MWI meet-
ing held on March 4th. In
the afternoon of March
4th, the Board met with
Agriculture Minister, Ron
Kostyshyn, Minister Steve
Ashton and several other
Ministers at the Legisla-
ture, regarding many of
our rural area concerns.
Allistair and Sheona
Smith returned recently
from a working holiday
in California, where the
weather was a huge im-
provement over Manitoba.
T e consensus around
our area is that March
def nitely came in like a
lion! March 1st low tem-
perature was -38.5* with
a wind chill of -50!!! Te
glorious high for the day
was -28.3!
Te Leisure Inn has
fnally received their new
seating, tables, chairs and
booths for the restaurant
and had it all installed last
week. Looks great Dale
and Melissa!
World Day of Prayer
was held on March 6th in
the United Church with
members of several de-
nominations taking part.
Co-leaders presenting the
program were Enid Clark
and Lynne Tolton, with
women of the congrega-
tion then reading their
selected parts. Te 2014
program was prepared
by the women of Egypt
and a short flm followed
the program on the fer-
tile area along the Nile
River where most of the
population lives. Tis was
followed by lunch and a
social time. Linda Baker
and Carol Dalgarno were
in charge of the arrange-
ments this year.
Congratulations to
Olive Waddell of Hami-
ota Care Home who cel-
ebrated her 92nd birth-
day on March 7th. Your
Newdale friends wish you
many more, Olive. Dot
Wareham also celebrates
a birthday next week, on
March 19th.
We send get well
wishes to Tom Delgaty
of Minnedosa who spent
time last week in Brandon
hospital. Tom and Evelyn
were great friends of the
Newdale Horticulture So-
ciety and we all remem-
ber their beautiful glads
shown at many of the
Flower Shows in town.
We were also sad-
dened to hear of the
death of Melly Wade of
Minnedosa last week
and we send sympathy
to his family and also to
Darryl and Karen Holyk
on the loss of Darryls
uncle. Tere are many
people that will miss his
table at the Clear Lake
Flea Market where he al-
ways had the frst new
potatoes of the season
for sale! He received lots
of teasing about planting
them in the snow!
Last Sunday, March
9th, was the frst nice day
that Lay-Minster Dan Jar-
dine of Brookdale has had
this winter when coming
to Newdale to give the ser-
mon. January and Febru-
ary were very cold and of-
ten stormy. We appreciate
his visits to our Church.

THE OLDEST wEEKLY NEwSPAPER IN THE CANADIAN wEST
eintr 1883
Thr
By NICOLE DYCK,
MCI Career
Preparation student
W
hen I was in El-
ementary school,
teachers would tell me
and my parents that I was
a talented writer. I started
to write short stories in
my spare time and got my
mom to read them and
give me her honest feed-
back, in order to improve
my writing. Troughout
the years I have written a
few short stories; most of
the time a random idea
will pop up in my head, Ill
jot down more ideas and
write a story.
I personally think I am
a decent writer, but I know
my writing needs im-
proving and that is okay.
Practice makes perfect.
I think I enjoy writing so
much because its where
I can let my mind wander,
I can be as creative as my
mind wants to be and not
have to worry what people
think.
I am very grateful
that I have the opportu-
nity to spend two days at
T e Minnedosa Tribune
and see how everything
works. Its quite an amaz-
ing chance for a Future
Wanna-Be-Journalist.
Once I graduate from
high school, I would like
to go to college or univer-
sity and get my diploma in
Journalism and Photog-
raphy and perhaps have
those two as my profes-
sions.
I f nd writing to be
such an incredible thing.
You can be who you want,
say what you want, are
able to just be you, and
that is why I love writing.
