M
innedosa Town
Council met for its
last meeting of 2012 on the
evening of Tuesday, De-
cember 18th. Mayor Orr
presided with Councillors
Taylor, Saler, Skatch, Luker
and MacDowall present.
Councillor Wedgewood
was absent.
Before the Commit-
tee of the Whole meet-
ing, a special meeting was
opened to formally ac-
cept, with regret, the res-
ignation of Karen Hunt, as
part-time municipal police
clerk at the Minnedosa
RCMP detachment of ce.
With Karens resignation,
this position is currently
being advertised.
During the Commit-
tee of the Whole meet-
ing, Councillor Taylor
informed his fellow coun-
cillors that the gen sets
which were purchased at
a cost of around $400,000
with 50/50 funding from
the Town and Province
of Manitoba were a valu-
able investment. During
the power outage a few
weeks ago, the gen sets at
the Water Treatment Plant
automatically kicked in as
as they are supposed to
and as a result the entire
town and Husky Ethanol
plant continued to have
water and wastewater ser-
vice throughout the power
outage. As a result of this
equipment, there was no
disruption in service and
no problems which re-
quired attention once the
outage was over.
Councillor MacDow-
all shared his view that the
LED lights currently adorn-
ing the Towns Christmas
street decorations are too
dull and he suggested that
for next year, Council look
at diferent lights so that
the decorations can be
more noticable and bring a
more festive feeling to the
downtown area. Mayor Orr
and the other councillors
agreed that this is some-
thing they will investigate
for the 2013 holiday sea-
son. It is also hoped that
the decorations can be
installed earlier next year.
Tis years delay was due
to the fact that the Towns
bucket truck was out of
order and being repaired.
Te decorations were in-
stalled, later than usual,
thanks to the use of a local
businesses bucket truck.
Some residents have
approached members of
councillors wondering
why the Christmas mu-
sic, currently being played
from the Town Hall, was
only being broadcast on
weekdays. It was played
the frst Saturday for Santa
Day and will be put on a
timer so that the music can
be played this Saturday.

A
s todays paper hits the street, we are winding down
for a few days of much needed Christmas holidays.
Looking back over the past year, 2012 has been a roller
coaster of challenges, changes, and mixed emotions
for the small, close-knit family of Tribune staf. We
have shared moments of great joy and happiness as
well as great sorrow and sadness throughout these past
twelve months. Trough it all, we have stuck together
and trodden forward as we advance on the paths of our
lives, both personally and professionally.
With this, our last regular edition of the year and
our annual Christmas greetings section, we close an-
other chapter in our communitys history. We look for-
ward to the new year with hopes that in many ways it
is a year better than the last and look forward to what
the next 52 weeks will bring, not only for us here at Te
Tribune, but also for each of you and your families and
for Minnedosa and our surrounding communities as a
whole. Hopefully, 2013 will be a year of happiness and
success for all!
Just a reminder that our of ce closes today at 12
noon and will reopen next Friday, December 28th at 9
a.m. Tere will not be a paper next week and our f rst
edition of the new year will be Friday, January 4th,
2013. Te deadline for advertising and submissions
for that paper will be Monday, December 31st at 12
noon.
From myself and the staf at Te Minnedosa Tri-
bune, I would like to send warmest holiday wishes to all
our readers, subscribers, advertisers, correspondents
and customers. Your support is greatly appreciated and
without you we would be unable to continue the tra-
dition of Minnedosas weekly newspaper. Heres hop-
ing you all have a great Christmas and we look forward
to serving you and working with you in the new year!
Merry Christmas!

Dear Editor,
T
he Harper government
has tabled the Fair
Rail Freight Service Act in
the House of Commons
to improve the ef ciency,
predictability and reliabil-
ity of rail freight service in
Canada.
Tis legislation is part
of our governments plan
to strengthen the economy.
We are working to ensure
that Canadas rail freight
system is better positioned
to support long-term
growth, resource develop-
ment, and our ambitious
domestic and international
trade agenda.
After a comprehensive
study, the Rail Freight Ser-
vice Review Panel in 2011
determined that there was
an imbalance in the ship-
per-railway relationship.
T ey recommended the
use of service agreements
to improve the perfor-
mance of the system over-
all.
In support of these
recommendations, this
legislation will give all com-
panies that ship goods by
rail the right to a service
contract with railways, and
establish an arbitration
process for shippers to get
a service contract if the par-
ties cannot negotiate one
together. Tis process will
be fast and inexpensive.
Our government be-
lieves that commercial ne-
gotiations are the best way
to achieve results, and the
goal of this legislation is
to encourage railways and
shippers to work together
to reach agreements.
Since the Rail Freight
Service Review was
launched in 2008, we have
seen notable improve-
ments in rail service in
Canada. We are taking ac-
tion to solidify those im-
portant gains so that our
rail transportation system
is well-positioned for future
growth.
Te Act will help ship-
pers to manage and expand
their businesses, while en-
suring that railways can op-
erate an ef cient network
for the beneft of all users.
A strong railway-shipper
relationship is vital to Can-
adas economy as a whole.
When shippers can
move more goods by rail,
this means more exports,
more revenues and more
Canadian jobs. Its not
just about volume, its also
about ef ciency and efec-
tiveness.
In Dauphin-Swan
River-Marquette, ef cient
and afordable rail service
in Canada is essential to
our grain producers, small
businesses, forestry indus-
try and virtually anyone
who exports or buys prod-
ucts. We are far from ports
and almost everything we
use or produce is transport-
ed at some point by rail.
Tis legislation is vital
to maintaining a competi-
tive rail network in Canada.
In these challenging global
economic times, all sectors
of the economy must work
together to drive economic
growth, job creation and
long-term prosperity.
Regards,
Robert Sopuck,
MP Dauphin-Swan River-
Marquette
Rail Freight Legislation to strengthen economy
F
or this Festive Season it gives me great
pleasure to extend Christmas Greetings to
our citizens on behalf of Council, Staf and our
families.
It is my wish that you will be able to en-
joy Christmas this year with your families and
friends.
I extend a special welcome to those who
have come back to Minnedosa to be with their
families and I hope that you have a wonderful
time.
It is my sincere wish that 2013 will bring
you good health, happiness and prosperity.

Ray Orr
S
easons Greetings! As another year comes to a close, it is my
pleasure to bring warm greetings to all those celebrating this
holiday season.
Te season presents us with an opportunity to ref ect on all
our blessings here in Manitoba. Vibrant communities, dedicated
workers and fourishing industries, and the ongoing conserva-
tion of some of the most diverse wildlife and natural landscapes
across Canada make this province a great place to live and work.
In this season of festivity and new beginnings, I would like to re-
new our commitment to continue working towards a better life
for Manitoba families and to invite all fellow citizens to join us.
On behalf of all members of the legislative assembly, staf
and government employees, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuk-
kah, and best of the season.
Greg Selinger
A
s the Queens representative in Manitoba, it is my plea-
sure to extend warm wishes to all Manitobans during the
festive season.
At this special time of year, there is always so much to see
and do. It is when our province comes alive with great variety
of celebrations and events for everyone to enjoy. Many peo-
ple participate in these activities as well as observe the long-
standing tradition of getting together with friends and family,
sharing meals and giving gifts. Troughout these busy days
and nights, it is worth remembering that the simple gifts of
hope, charity and kindness to one another are things we can
always give and are always appreciated.
Best wishes for memorable, meaningful holidays and
much happiness in 2013.
Te Honourable Philip S. Lee, C.M., O.M.

H
ello Christmas friends
of Minnedosa. Christ-
mas is in the air. I can hear
the music playing from
Main Street spreading the
good cheer. I cant wait for
the holidays. I especially
enjoy the good food that
comes along with it. I am
working through the holi-
days and cant wait to see
my family shortly after-
wards around New Years.
Tis will be my last
article until the New Year
and as for police work,
heres what has been hap-
pening.
Of cers responded to
38 calls for service. Tings
have slowed down a bit,
and I can imagine will pick
up in the New Year. You
just never know in this job.
Calls ranged from several
f res, suspicious people,
impaired drivers, mischief,
traf c collisions to name a
few.
Check stop season is
still in full swing. Spruce
Plains of cers have con-
ducted several check stops
now and hope to continue
throughout Christmas
and into the New Year. So
remember, if you are go-
ing to drink, please do not
drive. Its not worth the risk
to yourself or others on the
road.
One of our of cers
had an experience with
a deer on the road. Tey
are defnitely making their
rounds on the highways
lately. When you get fog,
the deer seem to gravitate
to the road for some rea-
son. I dont think the deer
saw the police car as it ran
head on into the left side
bumper. Te deers vision
must have been impaired
by fog. Te deer didnt sur-
vive the ordeal. Te of cer
escaped without injury.
Tis weeks speeder
was a young local male.
He was caught on Highway
#10 at a speed of 136km/
hr. Given the winter road
conditions, and general
fog during this time of year,
police did not hesitate to
write him a ticket totaling
$521.75. It is the holidays,
and there is no need to be
travelling speeds of that
sort. Terefore, he earned
this weeks speeder of the
week. I didnt speak to him
personally, but I can only
imagine that the ticket
money could have been
used elsewhere at this time
of year.
At this point, I would
like to wish everyone a
Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year from the
Minnedosa RCMP. It has
been a pleasure working
alongside you in the past
year and we look forward
to 2013 and all that it will
bring. You will hear from
me again shortly into 2013
after I come back from vis-
iting my family. I wish you
all a safe and happy Christ-
mas and New Years.

W
ell the Christmas
season is fnally here
and everyone at MCI is get-
ting ready for the Christmas
break! Tis year Christmas
break will start on Decem-
ber 21st and stretch all
the way to the 7th of Janu-
ary. But before everyone
goes home to eggnog and
Christmas songs there was
a busy week at MCI to get
through.
All of the students
started the week by com-
pleting a student health
survey that was given to
students all over Manitoba.
Te Grade 11 and 12 trip
to Ski Valley took place on
Tursday, December 20th.
Almost every year Mr. Pot-
ter plans a trip to the ski hill
for the grade 11 and 12 gym
class. Everyone enjoyed the
mild weather for this years
trip.
Tursday was a busy
day at MCI because there
was also ugly sweater dress
up day and the Christmas
dance in the high school
gym that evening. Luck-
ily everyone changed out
of their ugly sweaters be-
fore the dance! Santa even
found time in his busy
schedule to drop by for
some pictures and visiting.
Te Chancellors hock-
ey season is up and run-
ning and the boys are of to
a good start. Teyre record
is f ve wins, three losses
and two losses in overtime/
shootout. Tis leaves them
sitting in ffth for the league.
We said goodbye to
Ms. Linda MacDonald who
has left MCI to go back to
school herself. Good luck
Ms. MacDonald!
Grade 12s might be
wishing for some luck when
they get back to school in
January because they start
writing their Provincial ELA
exam on January 8th.
So thats a wrap for
this calendar year at MCI.
I hope everyone has a very
Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year! See you
back at MCI on January 7th.

T
he Horticulture So-
ciety and Ravens
Glen WI members joined
together on December
10th at Harrison House
for a combined Christ-
mas Party. We enjoyed a
rousing evening of cra-
zy whist and we thank
Boyd Waddell and Bill
Zahaiko who donned
their skirts to make up
the f ve tables! Partway
through we stopped for
snacks and punch and
socializing before fnish-
ing the cards. Some folks
had trouble with the no
talking hands, but lots of
laughter left everyone feel-
ing the Christmas spirit.
Ladies high went to Au-
drey Waddell and Ladies
low to Wendy St. John,
while Mens high went to
Boyd Waddell, Mens low
went to Xisra Lamb. Te
evening ended with des-
sert, cofee and good fel-
lowship. Members of both
Clubs wish everyone a
Merry Christmas!
Our community was
saddened to hear of the
sudden passing on De-
cember 10th of Fred Cre-
ber, 89 years old. Fred
and Irene had just taken
up residence in Harrison
House several months ago.
Te funeral service was
conducted on December
15th from Newdale United
Church. Fred and his fam-
ily farmed in the area when
he took over the family
farm east of Newdale. Tey
raised four children; Carol
(Dalgarno), Brian, Gordon
and Harold and we extend
our sympathy to them and
their families.
Stan and Ann Marks
of Winnipeg along with
Marge and Bob Drysdale of
Ingelow visited with Ger-
ald Pederson in Minnedo-
sa Hospital on December
14th. Tey had picked up
sister Barbie from the air-
port and driven her home.
Harrison House
Meals for Seniors held
their 24th Annual Christ-
mas Dinner for the seniors
of Newdale on Decem-
ber 19th. Te program
has had a very successful
year and its the seniors
of Newdale and area that
make it happen. Next year
well celebrate 25 years of
serving our Newdale se-
nior citizens! Reverend Jen
Dresser asked the blessing
and the Board members
served the delicious meal
to over 60 participants.
Several folks were lucky
and went home with one
of the door prizes.
Friends of Gaylene St-
impson of Strathclair wish
her improving health after
a stay in Minnedosa Hos-
pital, hope youll be home
to celebrate the holidays
with your family.
Word was received this
week of the passing of Car-
rie Wyton last October out
in BC. Carrie (Mason) and
Jack farmed south of town
for many years before re-
tiring to Salmon Arm, BC.
Tey raised three children
Paul, Keith and Marilyn
and we send our sympathy
to them and their families.
Carrie and sister Shirley
Hendry returned to New-
dale when Newdale Ra-
vens Glen WI celebrated
their 50th Anniversary in
2005. Shirley of Strathclair
and Carrie were Charter
members when the WI or-
ganization formed in 1955.
We have only one Char-
ter member left and thats
Jean Watson of Shoal Lake
PCH.
Several from town
braved the weather Friday,
December 14th to attend
the Frank Mills Concert in
Brandon.
Many folks enjoyed
the last 2012 Chinese
Smorg at the Leisure Inn
last Sunday.
We extend our Christ-
mas Wishes to all former

in the Care Home, Freda
Dalke, Phyllis Tolton, Bet-
ty Zahaiko, Clara Black-
wood, Shirley Bradley in

pleased to have a visit with
his former student from
Newdale.

NEWS
By ELMER KASKIW
I
n the weeks to come,
and in a lead up to the
many farm shows and
grower meetings in the
new-year, producers will
begin to be inundated with
promotional sales data for
a wide variety of products.
Assessing this data and
asking the right questions
is becoming an important
skill set for farm managers.
Asking the right questions
will help create a demand
for quality data and analy-
sis which will ultimately
make it more dif cult for
questionable products to
be successfully marketed.
T e traditional ap-
proach of justifying crop
inputs on an individual
basis has been the main
method in which new and
sometime questionable
products are marketed.
How many times have we
heard that the product will
pay for itself by preserv-
ing or adding a bushel of
production? In all likeli-
hood we have all fallen
guilty to accepting such a
marketing strategy since
it is simple and easy to
understand. If the ben-
eft exceeds the cost then
we accept the practice as
making economic sense.
Te problem with such
an analysis is that we can-
not evaluate crop input
responses independently
from one another since
these responses cannot
be added end to end. If
we did then we would all
be growing 75-80 bushel
canola. Te expected ben-
eft or increase in revenue
from an input cannot be
compared to the cost as-
sociated with purchasing
that input since such an
analysis assumes there is
no interaction with other
inputs or the environment.
Tis means that any addi-
tional yield or preventative
loss in yield must be statis-
tically signifcant after tak-
ing into account the inter-
actions with other inputs
and the environment. Te
reality for most producers
is that the benefts from in-
puts are most often diluted
while the costs of purchas-
ing these inputs are added
end to end. Te result is
that the promoted beneft
of an input is rarely fully
achieved while the costs of
the inputs are additive
Tis is why it is im-
portant to keep in mind
the relative importance
of each input and its dilu-
tion factor as it relates to its
contribution to fnal yield.
Early and timely seeding
is not a traditional pur-
chased input however the
costs associated with its
implementation are criti-
cal since it has the greatest
contribution to fnal yield.
Early and timely seeding
has a very low dilution fac-
tor in that dollars invested
almost always provide a
100% return on investment
and will also allow for oth-
er purchased inputs to ap-
preciate in value.
Once we move to other
purchased inputs the dilu-
tion factor becomes more
of an issue. Te more uni-
form the requirement over
an entire feld the greater
the contribution towards
yield and the greater is
the ability of the input to
maintain a positive net
return. Disease control
and fertility are two inputs
that provide a signifcant
contribution to fnal yield
due to their uniform re-
quirement at various lev-
els across a feld. Te more
uniform the requirement
the more likely the input is
to maintain its promoted
beneft. Variety choice will
also typically fall into this
grouping due to the dis-
ease resistance associated
with diferent varieties.
Dollars invested here are
associated with only mod-
erate risk and low dilution
and typically have a high
return on investment.
Weed populations on
the other hand are certain-
ly more variable within a
feld and can be mitigated
to some extent by tillage,
crop competition, crop
rotation and the growing
environment. Tis makes
the addition or absence of
weed control more dif -
cult to quantify in regards
to generating suf cient ad-
ditional revenue to cover
the investment associated
with their purchase. Tis
however does not and
should not diminish the
importance of a weed con-
trol program. Instead a sig-
nif cant level of manage-
ment is also necessary in
order to maximize dollars
invested in weed control.
Crop inputs must be
purchased as part of an
overall crop production
system based upon the fact
that the benefts from in-
puts are diluted while the
costs of purchasing these
inputs are added end to
end. Te net value of a crop
production input should
be evaluated in regards to
their level of dilution and
consequently their relative
importance and contribu-
tion towards fnal yield.

Pee Wee 12s
By CRISSY KOWAL
W
ell, the NHL players
may be sitting idle
waiting for some game
time action but the Pee
Wee 12s certainly are not.
Te team found them-
selves on the go four days
straight logging a lot of ice
team with parents putting
on plenty of miles as they
travelled out of town for
three of the four games.
On T ursday, Decem-
ber 13th the team headed
to Rivers to take on Tri-
Town. Down 3 - 0 going
into the third period Te
Bombers struck twice in
the frst two minutes with
a couple of quick back to
back goals. Tey made a
good push for the tie but
the third goal managed to
elude them and Tri-Town
would hang on for the 3-2
win. Jayden Kreller 1G, 1A;
Nick Henry 1G. Joe Lane in
net.
Friday, December
14th Minnedosa hosted
Carberry in an exhibition
game. Another close con-
test as the teams found
themselves tied at two
apiece after two periods.
Minnedosa would add
one more in the third but
it wasnt quite enough as
Carberry took a one goal
lead with less than fve
minutes left in the game
and then clinched it with
an empty netter in the last
second. Jayden Kreller 2G;
Elmer Yew-Gaywish 1G;
Max Dowsett 2A; Jayden
Kreller 1A; Joe Lane be-
tween the pipes.
Another road trip on
Saturday, December 15th
took the team a little fur-
ther out of town as they
headed North to Winni-
pegosis. Te long drive did
not seem to hurt the team
as they skated away with
an 8-1 win. Nathan Dornn
4G; Jayden Kreller 2G; No-
lan Bailey 2G; Matthew
Kowal 2A; Colin Robinson
2A; Braeden Good 1A; Na-
than Dornn 1A; Netmind-
er - Joe Lane.
Sunday, December
16th they headed West of
Dauphin to take on Grand
Plains in Gilbert Plains. A
much quicker paced game
saw Te Bombers battling
for some scoring chances
but they were not reward-
ed for their ef ort. Tey
held on strong to limit
Grand Plains to one goal
per period and Joe Lane
did a great job with lots of
incredible stops on what
looked like sure goals for
the opposition. Despite
the efort it would end in a
3-0 loss for Minnedosa.
T e 12s upcoming
weekend schedule is not
quite as full as the last as
they host Winnipegosis
tonight and then travel
through the park one
more time to face of with
Dauphin on Sunday. Two
home games next week-
end as Te Bombers meet
up with Tri-Town and Dau-
phin. Te Bombers will
then be hosting the annual
Tournament of Champs in
early January.
Excellent job Bomb-
ers! Good luck in your
upcoming games. Merry
Christmas Everyone - All
the Best in 2013!

orrection from last
week: Steve Dmyterko
returned home from visit-
ing with his son and family
for a week at St. Albert, AB.
Tis week:
Te Robert Mandzuks
of St. Catharines, ON, and
George Rush of Vancouver,
BC, have arrived for the
Christmas season already
and their families will be
joining them this week-
end.
Sunday afternoon was
spent with a nice group get-
ting together for the annu-
al caroling at the Drop-in
Centre. Tanks to Doreen
and Gary Stapleton who
lead the carols and music.
Following the singing, cof-
fee was provided by the
Sandy Lake Credit Union
and Christmas cookies by
the Age-Friendly.
Roseann Maluk of Sas-
katoon, SK, spent a week
in Winnipeg attending
seminars regarding her
work and is now here for a
months holiday.
Deepest sympathy
is extended to the Bileck
family on the passing of
Steve Bileck in Winnipeg.
Te Drop-in Centre
was a busy hive on Monday
morning as cofee, birth-
day cake and ice cream was
served in honour of Diane
Bachewichs 70th birthday.
She was surprised to have
sisters, Janice Duchomin-
sky and Angela Brookman
of Winnipeg spending the
day with her and returning
back to Winnipeg the same
evening.
Speedy recovery goes
to Bill Huston who had a
mishap of falling down
and fracturing his knee. It
will be a little while before
Bill will be able to do the
polka or dance around the
Christmas tree.
Merry Christmas and
best wishes for 2013 to Te
Tribune staf and all our

Once upon a time, long ago, there lived a jolly, fat man who
lived at the North Pole. Everyone called him Santa.
This was a name that parents made up. One day there
was no Santa. He didnt come until January the second.
My brother said, Is he dead?
I said Dont worry hes a millionaire.
After he came we had a big celebration and lived happily
ever after.
By Elizabeth Burton Grade 3
One Christmas Eve at night Santa was fast asleep and
forgot all about Christmas. The reindeer had to wake him
up. Santa got the reindeer ready. One time Santa got
stuck in a chimney so the reindeer gave him a push and
Santa went down to give the presents. After that San-
ta was on his last house. After that he went home late.
Mrs. Claus asked him how his night was. Santa said it
was horrible. Mrs. Claus said why? Santa said I got stuck
in a chimney. Mrs. Claus said thats too bad. Mrs. Claus
made him some hot chocolate.

One Christmas Eve there was a boy and a girl named
Carl and Donna, who wanted to help their mom get some
presents ready for Christmas.
When they were driving down the street something came
out of the sky, it was Santa Claus!
I guess he came early this year, said Donna.
Carl asked Santa, if they can have a ride on his sled.
Santa said, Want to come to the North Pole with me?
Why wed love to, they said.
When they got there Santa asked them if they wanted
to help him make some toys with him. They said, Why
wed love to help you but Carl doesnt know how to make
toys.
Thats O.K., Santa said, Ill help you. When they were
done they delivered the toys to the children and to their
house. Then they dropped them o.
When they got in their house, they opened their pres-
ents and played with their toys. Then they went to bed
as they were very tired.
Stories From
Christmas Past
1988
By Nancy Kartanson Grade 6
One Christmas Eve two boys were siting in the living
room looking at a wonderful Christmas tree and the
presents under it. They werent that excited about
Christmas because their grandma was in the hospital
and their grandpa was upset because grandma. Well, I
guess I beter tell you who the boys are, the older one
was Robert and the younger one was Michael. Well, that
night Robert phoned grandpa and asked if he was com-
ing over for Christmas, he said, probably, in a depressed
voice. Then I hung up the phone and went to bed.
Two hours later the phone rang, it was the hospital they
said, Your grandma is beter but we dont know if she
can come out tomorrow.
The next morning, Michael wanted to go see grandma, so
they went. While they were visiting, the nurse came in and
said I talked to the doctor and he said grandma is doing
beter and may go out for Christmas. Michael was very
excited and grandpa was the most excited of all. They
wheeled her out of the hospital very happy. When they
got home Robert was very excited. While they were at
home everybody was enjoying themselves opening their
presents. All of a sudden grandma felt really sick, it just
happened out of the blue. She had to go back to the hos-
pital for two more days and then said she could go home.
Mom went down to take her home. Grandma thought
that she was going home but headed in the direction of
her place. She asked Why am I going to your place? Mom
said Youll see. When they got home everybody was si-
lent. They were siting at the dining room table. Mom
wheeled her in and everyone screamed MERRY CHRIST-
MAS! Grandma was so excited Michael said Since you
had to go back to the hospital we all thought that we
should have another Christmas. Grandma said This is
the best thing that has ever happened to me, Thank you
all That day all of us had a wonderful time opening the
presents and eating a great turkey.

This story takes place in a town by the name of Minnedo-
sa. It was the winter of 1954. When my mother was in
the kitchen cooking Christmas cookies and my father
was downstairs xing the Christmas tree and my three
younger sisters were dancing and listening to a Christ-
mas record but me, I didnt know why they were doing all
this stu it was just Christmas, its not anything spe-
cial.
Today was Thursday, two days before Christmas. Our
cousins and uncles and aunts are coming today, to stay
for awhile. I was scared, because I didnt know what to
do if they came in and asked me Are you excited about
Christmas? What would I say? What would I do? So I de-
cided to talk to my mom but she was too busy, so I went
downstairs to talk to my dad and he was busy too. So
I decided to ask the Lord what to do, I knew he couldnt
be too busy to talk to me. So I asked the Lord if it was
wrong not to believe in Christmas. He said Why dont you
nd out yourself?
The next few days went by so fast, before I knew it, it
was already Christmas Eve. There were presents piled
up to the roof. And then I heard my mothers voice say
Tammy, time to go to bed or youre not going to get
anything in your stocking! So when everyone was in bed I
heard a noise downstairs so I went down and I couldnt
believe my eyes, I saw a man with a white beard and he
looked just like Santa Claus. I jumped with glory. And I
said Thank you for leting me nd it out myself, it helps
me believe in who I am too.
All that night I couldnt wait until morning. And nally
after it seemed like a year, morning came. I jumped out
of bed, ran downstairs, but of course, just like every
other year everyone was up, but I didnt care. I just went
straight to my stocking and looked inside.
I couldnt believe my eyes it was the doll house I have been
hoping for all year. I played with my doll house until it was
time to set the dinner table. And then we all sat down,
said the prayer, and ate our suppers, then came the
good part, Christmas pudding.
Then after all that, the day was over. And I was going to
remember it for the rest of my life. ZZZZ

Stories From
Christmas Past
1989
By Tyler Jacobson Grade 3
Once upon a time there lived an elf who didnt like to make
toys. The head elf was looking around and he saw this elf
wasnt even nished the train that he was painting and
the other ones were on their second one. The head elf
said You had beter hurry up and nish that train. The
elf said I dont like to make toys. The head elf said you
dont like to make toys? No I dont like to make toys!
said the elf. The head elf said Would you mind telling me
what you would like to do? The elf said Id like to be a
doctor. The head elf said, Okay, you can be a doctor. And
that was that!
By Andrew Wark Grade 3
A week before Christmas Santa said to Blitzen, Im go-
ing on a vacation, so you will have to help the elves do my
job. Okay, said Blitzen. As he went to tell the elves,
Santa went to pack his bags.
A week went by and the next day was Christmas. The
sleigh was loaded. Santa hitched up the reindeer before
he left to go to Florida. The elves took o into the sky
with the sleigh. Everything started out well until they
couldnt control the reindeer. The deer were trying to y
all over the sky.
Santa was enjoying Florida until he saw them ying all
over the sky. He thought of something to do to help the
elves so he whistled to his team of reindeer. They came
down and landed the sleigh right beside him. Santa
hopped in the sleigh and helped deliver the toys. Santa
decided never to go on a vacation at Christmas again.

Have you ever heard about Santas problem in Polonia?
Polonia is a small village with only one street and a church
and beside the church there is a hall. It was in this small
village Santa had his biggest problem of his life.
It was the night of Christmas Eve, 1989. The people
of Polonia were fast asleep. No one heard the jingles of
the reindeer and the soft landing of the sleigh when it
stopped on the rst roof. A jolly fat Santa rolled out of
his sleigh. It had been a very good year for Santa and
he had eaten too many cookies. Santa Claus was re-
ally fat! He went to a chimney and jumped down. Do you
know what happened? Santa Claus got stuck on the way
down. The elves tried to pull him out but they couldnt.
One of the elves got an idea Lets get a big rock and try
to stu Santa down. They tried it but the rock missed
Santa and that idea didnt work.
Another elf had a beter idea. He looked for a grease gun.
Then he looked on the top shelf of the garage and found
one. The elf ran back to the chimney and greased it. It
didnt work because Santa Claus got all greasy.
Then someone in the house started a re and then went
back to bed. One of the elves ran inside and blew the re
out. A big ame burnt Santas pants. So Santa took o
his pants.
Another elf had a good idea. He ran and got a tractor.
He took the tractor and pulled down the chimney. Santa
got free and he told the elves to go back and get Santa
Claus a new pair of pants. They did.
When the elves returned they gave Santa the pants and
Santa pulled them on. He thanked the elves for helping
him. So Santa delivered the presents after all and they
went home. He went on a diet and never got stuck in a
chimney again.

Once upon a time there was a family. They bought a
Christmas tree from a voodoo place. They brought the
Christmas tree home. The family decorated the tree be-
fore they went to bed. The tree moved. It moved again.
It sneaked into the kitchen and ate the fridge and he
burped. The Christmas tree ran back into the living room.
The father woke up and saw that the fridge was gone.
He looked in the living room. He found the Christmas tree
was fater then before. The father said Hmmmmm. He
went back to bed. Santa came. The Christmas tree ate
all the presents and Santa ran away. The mother woke
up and found that the tree was fater than before. She
went back to bed. The next morning the family woke
up and the tree was fater then before. They all looked
around and said Hmmmm. The father said that the tree
is bigger than before, so they tore it into litle pieces and
set it on re and the family lived happily ever after.

Christmas is wonderful and joyful. It wouldnt be Christ-
mas if there werent hot peppermints.
Once there was a boy named Ed. He woke up on Decem-
ber 25th and looked under the Christmas tree. Under
the Christmas tree he had seen some presents. He woke
his mom and dad up and told them there were presents
under the Christmas tree. They went to look and there
were some presents. The presents were all sizes.

othing compares to
the aroma of baked
Christmas goodies when
coming in from the cold
winter weather. Our olfac-
tory sensations (our sense
of smell) contribute up to
eighty percent to our sense
of taste, and thus is a very
important part of our abil-
ity to recognize and enjoy
favour. Te art of holiday
baking is a regular activity
in many households this
time of the year, and some
baking tips may be helpful
to you.
Flaky pie dough is
a pastry that has a mixture
of shortening and/or but-
ter that is cut in so that
there are small chunks still
left in the fnished prod-
uct. Tis aids in creating
steam pockets within the
crust, which helps with the
leavening process and thus
creating the faky texture. It
is best to keep pie pastry as
cold possible while mixing
and rolling to prevent melt-
ing the butter and shorten-
ing pieces prematurely.
Te best way of doing
this is to frst focus on your
ingredients. Make sure you
are using ice water instead
of cold water, and frozen
butter grated into the four
mixture is ideal. Te frozen
butter particles then are
already the required size
from the grater and will not
sufer from the warm fric-
tion of too much mixing or
cutting in. Secondly, try
not to touch the dough with
your hands too much, as
the warmth from them will
melt the butter. It is best to
form the dough by folding
it over consistently with a
chilled metal dough cutter.
Once the dough is formed
into a fat disk, wrap and
place it in the refrigerator
until thoroughly chilled.
Remove and proceed with
rolling, ideally on a chilled
marble surface.
Cookies and quick
breads are also very popu-
lar, and they both rely on
baking soda and/or baking
powder to rise. Baking soda
and baking powder are
considered chemical leav-
eners. Baking soda is so-
dium bicarbonate and it re-
quires liquid and an acid to
make a gaseous reaction. It
is usually added to recipes
that have a naturally occur-
ring acid in the ingredients,
such as buttermilk, yogurt,
sour cream, honey, molas-
ses, and fruits.
Baking powder on the
other hand is a complete
leavener, as it only requires
liquid for it to react in the
same manner. Te reason
for this is that it contains
a mixture of baking soda
and the balanced amount
of acid, along with starch to
help prevent lumping. Tis
is why you will see some
recipes that call for baking
powder and others with
baking powder and/or bak-
ing soda. A good compari-
son of this would be a pan-
cake recipe compared to a
buttermilk pancake recipe.
Whatever desserts
you choose to celebrate
with, I wish you all the best
of health and happiness
this holiday season.

I like Santa. I like presents. I like the Christmas trees be-
cause they are so prety when they are decorated.

I have a pup. His name is Sarge. This will be his rst Christ-
mas. Hell get lots of presents. Hell love the chicken. Hell
love chewing on the bones. Then well roll in the snow. Hell
jump in and out. Ill do the same!
On boxing day Sarge will box with my other dog Trigg.
Im sure Sarge will win. If he doesnt win Ill still give him a
bone. Hes a playful pup so well play games and thats the
end of Sarges rst Christmas.

Once there was a place called the north pole. Santa lived
there. But on Earth it was Christmas Eve and Erin and
Corinne were staying overnight and we were sleeping.
Santa came down the chimney Ho Ho Ho Here we are!
Then we woke up and had fun with Santa.

On Christmas morning kids wake up quickly and rush to
the presents fast. They try to get ready. They do all of
their chores as fast as they can. When they are nished
all of their chores, they go to wake up their mother and
father. Their mother sometimes gets the camera to take
pictures of the kids opening up their Christmas pres-
ents. When they are done opening Christmas presents
they might go to their Grandma and Grandpas house
and open their presents there, and sometimes everyone
gets together and they have a Christmas dinner.
Time to wish all oI our
loyal Iriends and customers
a Christmas season flled
with joy and happiness, and
express our sincere gratitude
Ior their patronage
