D
ue to a lack of hospital staf, Minnedosa and sur-
rounding area will be without emergency room ser-
vices for a number of days throughout the holiday season
this year.
Prairie Mountain Health recently dispensed a letter
informing residents that the emergency room and acute
care services in the community will be temporarily sus-
pended due to physician resource shortages.
From Saturday, December 28th at 8 a.m. until Mon-
day, December 30th at 8 a.m. and again from Saturday,
January 4th at 8 a.m. until Monday, January 6th at 8 a.m.
there will be no emergency room or acute care services at
the Minnedosa Health Centre.
Te practicing physicians in Minnedosa are doing
everything possible to try and provide 24/7 coverage, but
they are well-below full complement. Tere may also be
instances in the New Year where not all services can be
sustained given the current resource base, explained
Penny Gilson, CEO of Prairie Mountain Health.
Prairie Mountain Health will do everything pos-
sible, in working collaboratively with the local physicians
and staf to keep as many services available as safely as
possible. It needs to be noted that there are also consid-
erable nursing vacancies in Minnedosa and the region is
monitoring that situation closely as well. Te region ap-
preciates the eforts of all the Minnedosa physicians and
staf to provide as much service as possible.
During the times of suspended emergency services,
individuals that require emergency care are asked to call
the Minnedosa Health Centre to determine the nearest
open emergency room. Prairie Mountain Health EMS
services will continue to provide emergency response
and residents requiring service will be transported to the
nearest open emergency department.
If it is a true emergency people are encouraged to
call 911 and the ambulance will transport them to the
closest open emergency department with an on-call phy-
sician and will provide care while en-route to that loca-
tionthis is the quickest access to needed care. In other
instances, residents location and the type of service they
require will determine where they are directed. In addi-
tion to Brandon and Dauphin, there is also the Neepawa
Health Centre in close proximity to Minnedosa, Gilson
continued.

T
he results from a sur-
vey Manitoba youth
participated in last year
were recently released. Te
Study, which was conduct-
ed by Prairie Mountain
Health Authority, provides
a snapshot of students
health behavior.
Te Youth Health Sur-
vey saw Manitoba students
in the 2012-2013 school
year in grades seven to
twelve take part in the
questionnaire.
Te health authority
utilizes this study to assist
in both health and educa-
tion departments in devel-
oping future plans, policy
making and to support ef-
forts to improve the health
of students in schools.
Te f rst Manitoba
Youth Health Survey was
conducted in 2008 and in-
cluded grades six to twelve.
Te new 2013 survey was
similar to the original sur-
vey but had been expand-
ed and removed grade six
students from participat-
ing.
Schools and Parent
Advisory Councils have
used the survey fnd-
ings from the 2008 Youth
Health Survey to improve
physical activity strategies
and nutrition policies, ex-
plained Jody Allan, Prairie
Mountain Health regional
manager of planning and
evaluation. Health part-
ners, and our health pro-
motion team members
involved with the Healthy
Together Now initiative,
are working with this re-
port to identify opportuni-
ties for improving health in
our communities. In terms
of our regional health
planning, we will contin-
ue to assess and enhance
our health programs and
services based on some
of the results. In addition,
the survey will support our
next comprehensive Com-
munity Health Assessment
which is due to be released
in the fall of 2014.
Te survey included
grade seven to twelve
students in the following
school divisions: Beauti-
ful Plains, Brandon, Fort
La Boss, Frontier, Franco-
Manitobaine, Indepen-
dent schools, First Nations,
Prairie Spirit, Mountain
View, Park West, Swan Val-
ley, Southwest Horizon,
Turtle Mountain, Turtle
River and Rolling River
School division.
T e Youth Health
Survey is important data in
that it provides the school
division with recent and
relevant information that
informs our ongoing con-
versation about student
health, which is part of the
divisions Healthy Living
priority, said Reg Klassen,
superintendent of Rolling
River School Division.
Te survey is used
to help understand what
youth are thinking, what
their motivations are and
what is important to them.
Prairie Mountain Health
believes that children and
youth can achieve their
fullest if their physical,
mental, intellectual and
emotional health needs
are met and this survey
supports the improvement
in student education out-
comes while at the same
time addressing school
health plans in a planned,
integrated and holistic
way.
Te results presented
within the survey refect
the responses of the youth
themselves, said Allan.
Asking questions about
youth health behaviors
can help us learn about
their risks for chronic
disease and how we can
work with communities to
help young people make
healthy choices.
Te complete outline
of the survey results can
be found on the Prairie
Mountain Health website
at www.prairiemountain-
health.ca

T
he Town of Minnedosa
recently announced
advancements in the
plans to develop the new
residential subdivision.
Town council has
been working on plans
to create a 15 unit single-
family subdivision, south
of Ninth Avenue, devel-
oping approximately 2.72
acres of land into 9-three
bedroom and 6-four bed-
room single-family de-
tached dwelling units.
In February, the town
announced initial nego-
tiations with the Stewart
Hills group.
On the morning of De-
cember 12th at town hall,
Mayor Ray Orr announced
that the town has recently
come to an Agreement in
Principal with the Stewart
Hills Group in regards to
the project.
We are proceeding
with the development of
the Stewart Hills estate.
Tis Agreement in Princi-
pal is a high-level devel-
opment agreement, it has
been a long-time coming
and we are thrilled to have
progressed to this step,
said Mayor Ray Orr.
Orr notes that the
town is happy that the
Stewart Hills group has
stepped forward to take
on the project and hopes
that communication will
be smooth as all of the
members of the develop-
ment group are local.
Stewart Hills Estates
consists of nine local
residents, Clint Mofat,
Ken Kane, Norman Sims,
Bruce and Chad Bur-
ton, Elvin Birch, Andrew
Lankin, Glen Newton, and
Stuart Lewis. Tis will be
the f rst time these indi-
viduals have come togeth-
er to work on a project.
We are now into the
initial planning stages of
the project. We will be sit-
ting down with all of the
involved parties to de-
velop a design plan in the
New Year, said Stewart
Lewis. Once everyone
agrees on a design, we will
move to get the plans ap-
proved by the various gov-
ernment agencies, in re-
gards to water and sewer,
that sort of thing.
All parties involved
agree that this has been
quite a slow process and
are happy to see the proj-
ect advancing. Once the
design plans have been
conf rmed and approved
by all involved, the group
will be looking to sit down
with local contracting
companies.
At this point we have
just begun the process
of developing the design
plans which further hinge
on approval from govern-
ment agencies and there-
fore we really have no frm
timeline for construc-
tion or completion at this
point, added Lewis.

I
dont know about you, but for me it seems every
year fies by quicker than the year before. With this
edition we close the chapter on another year of hap-
penings in our community.
2013 marked Te Minnedosa Tribunes 130th an-
niversary and as Christmas approaches, I am once
again reminded how fortunate I am as a newspa-
per publisher to have tremendous help and sup-
port from many who assist in flling the pages of this
grand old paper each and every week. I have stated
it before, but it is worth repeating there is no way
I could single handily put this paper together and
get it out to our readers on my own. Te Tribune is
the true defnition of a community newspaper. In
addition to our small, four person staf, we have a
tremendous group of volunteer correspondents who
submit news items and photographs each week. I
will not name anyone for fear of leaving someone
out, but please know that if you have submitted any-
thing that has been published in Te Tribune this
year, whether its district news, sports results, a letter
to the editor, a photograph, etc. your contribution to
the success of this publication is greatly appreciated.
As we wrap up this weeks edition, the Christmas
edition and another year, we will be closing up shop
for Christmas holidays. Tis year, we will be taking
an extended holiday so that Ye Old Editor with the
help of a couple elves, can do some long overdue
touch-ups and changes in the back shop. Te end
result will hopefully be a brighter; more eye appeal-
ing workplace for our staf.
I would like to remind everyone that our of ce
will be closed for holidays today, (December 20th) at
12 noon and reopen for business at 9 a.m. on January
3rd, 2014. During that time, if you have a submission
for the frst edition of the new year, you can drop it
of in the drop slot in our front door, mail it or email
it.
Wishing you and yours all the best this holiday
season. Tanks for reading and well be back in Janu-
ary! Merry Christmas!

R
esidents of Rapid City
watched helplessly as
their town hall and fre hall
were consumed by fames
on October 20th. Two build-
ings, valuable emergency
vehicles and equipment
were lost in the devastating
blaze. But while rebuild-
ing will take time, Spectra

move closer to that goal.
Spectra Energy knows
when communities come
together, great things hap-
pen - and they wanted to be
part of a community so de-
termined to rebuild.
On December 4th,
Spectra Energy presented
the Town of Rapid City, with
a cheque for $5,000 to help
rebuild its fre department.
It was -17C with a

was a heart-warming pre-
sentation.

A
number of students
from Tanners Cross-
ing School were celebrated
for their participation in

test on December 12th.
Every year the Lions
Club holds the interna-
tional peace poster con-
test where over 350,000
kids from schools and
youth groups around the

ers depicting their vision of
peace.
Tanners Crossing

art students created their
peace posters throughout
September and October.
Te Lions Club peace
poster contest has a difer-
ent theme every year. Te
theme for 2013-2014 was
Our World, Our Future.
Te students can uti-
lize a variety of mediums
from crayon to charcoal.
Te posters are supposed
to express what peace
means through images
and without the use of
words. Once all of the art-
work is complete it is sent
to the Lions Club for judg-
ing.
Each poster is judged
on originality, artistic mer-
it and expression of the
theme and broken down
into judging levelslocal,
district, multiply district
and international.
Internationally there
is one grand prize win-
ner chosen along with 23
merit award winners. Te
grand prize is $5,000 and a
trip to the award ceremo-
ny. Te 23 runners-up are

Ambulance services in Manitoba are not an in-
sured service, however, a few years ago the previous
Assiniboine Regional Health Authority changed the
ambulance fee structure from one of a base rate plus
a loaded kilometer charge, to a fat fee so that indi-
viduals who had to be transferred longer distances
due to circumstances such as this were not disadvan-
taged.
Given the change to the ambulance fee struc-
ture there is no increased cost associated with using
this service and having to be transported longer dis-
tances. If individuals face the cost of an ambulance
bill, which they are unable to pay all at once the re-
gion will work with them to set-up time payment
plans based on what they can aford, said Gilson.
In the New Year, the Health Authority will con-
tinue to search for solutions to the staf ng shortages
and reassure residents that maintaining a high-level
of health care in the region is one of their top priori-
ties.
Te region is sponsoring four international
medical graduates through the provincial assess-
ment process who should be practice-ready some-
time in late winter/early spring. Closer to that time
the region will examine all vacancies to determine
the top priorities for the placement of these physi-
cians, recognizing that all vacancies are a priority
however, there will not be enough physicians to fll all
the current and potential pending vacancies, Gilson
explained.
According to Gilson, there will also be another
international medical graduate who should be prac-
tice-ready in the summer and the same process re-
garding placement will apply.
During the time of emergency room closure, res-
idents are also asked to make use of the Health Links
telephone information service. Individuals can call
1-888-315-9257 anytime for health advice from reg-
istered nurses. Te Minnedosa Clinic will also con-
tinue to operate regular working hours, Monday to
Friday.
Prairie Mountain Health asks for continued pa-
tience as we try to address the human resource chal-
lenges being faced and again we would like to express
sincere appreciation to the local health care provid-
ers who are working hard to ensure as much service,
as safely as possible, remains available as close to
home as possible, added Gilson.

THE TOWN OF MINNEDOSA
By DARRYL HOLYK
F
or those interested in the history and hap-
penings of the Green Valley Drop-in Centre, a
book has been compiled and is available for read-
ing through the Minnedosa Regional Library or the
50+ Centre. A copy has also been donated to the
Minnedosa Regional Archives. At this time, no cop-
ies of the book are available for purchase.
Te 44-page soft cover book was compiled by
Donna Brown with the help of Maxine Woodcock.
Donna spearheaded the project flling the book with
gleanings from her collection of Green Valley News
articles which were written by her mother, Wil-
helmina Kartanson, and appeared in Te Minnedo-
sa Tribune from 1980 to 1996. Troughout the book
are mentions of Green Valley members and inter-
esting happenings from that time period including
whist drives, birthday parties, holiday celebrations,
entertainment, meetings and more. Near the back
of the book, Donna has included some of her fam-
ilys history and their connection to the community.
Te Green Valley Drop-in Centre was a seniors
centre located in the basement of the Civic Centre.
Green Valley began with a meeting of interested se-
niors back in December 1975. Te centre of cially
opened in May 1978 and continued to operate until
the opening of the 50+ Centre fve years ago.

T
own Council met in
Council Chambers on
the evening of Tuesday,
December 17th. Mayor Orr
presided with all members
of council in attendance.
Te f rst order of busi-
ness was a public hearing
regarding the special ser-
vice levy for garbage col-
lection. Mayor Orr opened
the hearing by apologizing
for any misunderstanding
residents may have had re-
garding the public notice
that was sent out by mail
regarding the levy. It may
have suggested to some
that this was a brand new
proposal when in fact, this
is not a new levy, but the
continuation of the same
rates ratepayers have been
paying for garbage collec-
tion since 2009.
Te Town received 12
names objecting the gar-
bage levy. Tese names
appeared on a form pre-
pared by Herman Klassen.
In addition, three residents
attended the hearing. Two
of them presented con-
cerns and suggestions;
Robert Marks requested
that Council consider a
fairier approach for charg-
ing for garbage collec-
tion. He suggested limit-
ing the number of bags of
garbage each household
is allowed for pickup and
also encouraged council to
better promote recycling
which would decrease the
amount of garbage resi-
dents would have for dis-
posal.
Jan Macey shared a
concern that residential
properties pay $100 per
year for garbage collection
while residents residing
in mobile homes pay only
$75. She felt this was un-
fair as some residents liv-
ing in mobile homes could
have a greater amount of
garbage than a resident
residing in a house. A fam-
ily living in a mobile home
could certainly have more
garbage to dispose of than
a single person living in a
house.
As objections to the
garbage levy were re-
ceived, the Town will now
forward all evidence to
the municipal board for
review and recommenda-
tions on how to proceed.
As there was a mis-
communication between
the Town and Husky Ener-
gy regarding the Board of
Revision held earlier, the
board reconvened Tues-
day night to ofer Husky
an opportunity to present
its case. Heather Abel pre-
sented a letter on behalf of
Husky Energy asking for a
reduction in the 2014 real
property assessment for
the Minnedosa Husky En-
ergy Plant. Tom Instance
from the local Assess-
ment of ce confrmed the
determined 2014 assess-
ment was correct without
any reduction. Husky will
be notifed of this by regis-
tered letter.

Seasons Greetings
Dear Reena,
I made a collection of
sugar cookies for a Christ-
mas bake sale. I cut them
out and put them onto
my baking sheet and they
looked great. However,
as they baked in the oven
their shape became pufy
and misshaped. What can I
do so that my cookies look
the same going into the
oven as coming out of the
oven? Heather
Dear Heather,
Make sure that your
dough is well chilled. In
fact whichever dough
you are not working with
should be in the fridge.
Even after cutting the
shapes and putting the
cookies on your pan you
may want to refrigerate
the pan because the colder
the dough the better you
will keep your shape (well
not your shape, the cookie
shape. Keeping our shape
at this time of year is a
challenge in itself espe-
cially when delicious sug-
ar cookies are calling our
name).
Dear Reena,
Any uses for old stale
bagels besides making
bread crumbs or throwing
them out? Lana
Dear Lana,
Cover bagels with pea-
nut butter and throw some
birdseed on top. Place or
hang bagels outside for
birds to feed on.
Be a Breakfast Hero!
Instead of getting up
early to make cinnamon
buns, make them the night
before. Make your dough
as usual. I knead my dough
for extra time to activate
the yeast and then I make
the cinnamon buns, cut
them and pan them imme-
diately. Close the pan with
the purchased pan cover or
loose plastic wrap and rise
dough in the refrigerator.
Te next morning, take the
buns out of the fridge then
preheat the oven. When
the oven is at temperature,
put in the risen buns. Ab-
solutely YUM!

W
hat if instead of wor-
rying about fnding
your child the perfect gift
this Christmas you were
consumed with worry that
your child might not have
anything to open at all?
How do you explain that
Santa doesnt think youve
been naughty, Mom and
Dad just cant aford to fll
the stocking.
Christmas, while a time
of merriment with fam-
ily and friends, can also be
very stressful for those who
may not have the funds to
fll the Christmas dinner ta-
ble or place anything under
the Christmas tree.
Many residents right
here in our own commu-
nity struggle with holiday
fnancial stress every year.
But the Minnedosa Christ-
mas Cheer board has been
on a mission to ensure that
no ones Christmas dinner
table is left bare.
We have prepared 51
hampers. Not quite as many
as last year, but the generos-
ity in this small community
is still very overwhelming,
said Rhonda Prettie, chair
of the Christmas Cheer
Board.
Every year the Christ-
mas Cheer board gathers
food and monetary dona-
tions from the community.
Te board, which is made
up of community volun-
teers, then sorts the goods
and prepares hampers for
families that need an extra
hand through the holiday
season.
Each hamper is cus-
tomized according to the
family that would be re-
ceiving it. Te size of the
family determines the size
of the hamper. Each ham-
per includes turkey, ham,
carrots, potatoes, marga-
rine, oranges, Christmas
cake from the Rotary, buns,
bread, and milk. Each child
in the family is also given a
gift. Tose over the age of 12
are given $35 Minnedosa
money each.
Te Christmas Cheer
saw a number of food and
money donations this year,
especially during the visit
from the Canadian Pacifc
Holiday Train.
I had a single, young
man come in, he was 32
years old. He wanted to
make a donation. So I
thought good for him but
when he gave me $250.00
for the Cheer Board I was
just a little shocked com-
ing from a young, single
man. I had to ask, that is
a generous donation, what
made you feel like you had
to make this donation? He
said that life has been good
to him and he remembers
struggling in his earlier
years and he now is able
to help those struggling
people, and he will. He just
felt so grateful for his family
and home town. I was quite
impressed by this young
man, Prettie said while de-
scribing the generosity she
has seen this season.
Te Cheer Board also
saw one of the youngest
volunteers in the commu-
nity make a big impact.
Eleven-year-old Shawnee
Inkster took it upon herself
to get involved and collect
pajamas to add into the
Cheer hampers.
Ive gotten pajamas
for Christmas every year
and I thought that there
are probably kids that dont
get any or even have any.
Tats how I came up with
the idea to gather some up
to give to them, explained
Shawnee.
With the help of fam-
ily and friends, Shawnee
set-up donation bins at a
number of local business,
involved her school and
spent three weeks canvass-
ing the community.
My Grandpa calls me
a social butterfy because I
like to be involved in a lot
of things. I have also vol-
unteered with Santa Day, I
have helped with the stock-
ings for the Christmas Din-
ner for the past three years
and I also spend some time
at the Personal Care Home
every now and again. I just
really enjoy doing things
that give back to the com-
munity, I think it is impor-
tant, added Shawnee.
Over the course of her
pajama drive, Shawnee
was able to gather 58 pairs
of brand new pajamas that
were then dispersed into
the Christmas Cheer ham-
pers.
Te Christmas Cheer
board was again over-
whelmed with the gener-
osity of Minnedosa resi-
dents and has completed
dispensing their hampers
for another year. Te board
has had enough donations
to f ll all the hampers as
well as donate some toys
and knitted items to the
Minnedosa Christmas Din-
ner. Any items that are not
donated will be stored to
begin next years Christmas
hampers.
Te Christmas Cheer
board accepts applica-
tions for hampers at the
beginning of December.
Applying for a hamper is a
simple process with very
little requirements. In the
past, there have been times
when this service has been
used by persons who are
not in a position to need as-
sistance.
Te board asks that
those who apply be honest
about their situation and if
you are not in need of assis-
tance, dont take the place
of someone who is. Tere
are many in the community
that could greatly beneft
from this program.
Minnedosas Christ-
mas Cheer initiatives dis-
play a number of aspects
that residents should be
proud of. Not only does it
showcase the willingness
to donate food, money and
time but it also illustrates
the dedication this com-
munity has to ensure that
every family and child gets
to experience Christmas.

C
hristmas is a special
time reserved for
spending with friends and
family, sharing in good
food and great memo-
ries. But for some, family
and friends have aged or
moved and the thought of
cooking a turkey dinner is
a lot of work when there is
no one around to help you
eat it. Alas, the Minnedosa
District Christmas Dinner
has created a gathering
place for any and every-
one looking to fll their
bellies with a little turkey
this Christmas.
On December 25th
the Minnedosa District
Christmas Dinner would
like to extend a warm
welcome to anyone look-
ing for a Christmas meal
served with a side of com-
radely.
T e doors of the
Minnedosa Community
Conference Centre will be
open to all at noon. Te
dinner is free and also
comes with some holiday
entertainment.
Bring your friends
and family, come and
make some warm memo-
ries on a cold day. Even if
you have family around,
maybe you have too much
family aroundcome and
join us for dinnerwe
have lots of room and even
more food! said Wood-
man, local English butler
and Minnedosa District
Christmas Dinner host.
Tis year marks the
events fourth year in op-
eration and with driven
committee members and
successful turnouts ev-
ery year, the event should
continue for a number of
years to come.
Te dinner will con-
sist of all the traditional
turkey dinner fxings plus
a few perogies for good
measure. Meals will also
be made available for
takeout and transporta-
tion can be arranged in
advance.
Barb Hanishewski
will be gracing the stage
with a few Christmas
classics along with Barry
McNabb on the piano. I
have also heard rumour
that Santa may be stop-
ping by. For some Christ-
mas can be a sad day, we
love to brighten it up,
added Woodman.
Every year this event
sees 600-1,000 people
gather together to enjoy
and afternoon of delicious
food and the company
of others. Tere is no fee
to anyone interested in
joining, but donations are
gratefully accepted.
A number of people
donate as they think it is
a great event and want
to see it continue. If you
cant make it out on the
day of the dinner, but still
want to make a donation
you can donate at the
Minnedosa Credit Union.
We can always use volun-
teers as well, said Wood-
man.
The district dinner
committee is still looking
for a few helpful hands.
Volunteer shifts are short
and look to be quite a bit
of fun. If you are inter-
ested in helping out host-
ing, setting up, preparing
food, serving or cleaning
up, please contact the
committee.
The Minnedosa Dis-
trict Christmas Dinner
is offering anyone inter-
ested a warm place full
of holiday fun and a spot
at the dinner table. If you
are interested in attend-
ing, call 204-867-3425.

The Town oI Minnedosa
By JESS MCINNES
H
ello everyone! Anoth-
er month has come
and gone here at MCI and
were already getting into
December!
Student council had
some exciting events this
month. We had a dress
up day called Grey Day
where everyone was sup-
posed to wear grey on grey.
By the amount of partici-
pation for this event, it was
obvious that teenagers
love a day where they dont
have to worry about colour
coordination. Student
Council also had a Mul-
ticultural Day where stu-
dents were able to wear an
outf t to represent either
their own culture or a cul-
ture they wanted to recog-
nize. Just before lunch we
all went down to the gym
for a presentation from
our Brazilian exchange
students. Tey showed a
powerpoint about Brazil
and then they performed
a traditional dance for the
students. It was an event
that students wont for-
get and multicultural day
could become a great tra-
dition for MCI.
T e basketball sea-
son is getting underway
for both the boys and girls
teams. We are all excited
to see how the season un-
folds for both teams!
Te Chancellors Se-
nior Varsity Girls volleyball
team fnished their season
of in early December by
travelling to Steinbach for
Provincials. Tey made it
there by winning an action
packed wild card game
against Roblin. Tey met
the team halfway in Shoal
Lake, bringing a fan bus
along with them. A whole
busload of students came
to cheer the girls team
on and boost their spirits
as they played! Te girls
placed seventh in Provin-
cials. Good job girls!
Te Chancellor Hock-
ey team is well into their
season and have been
playing games for a while
now. We all look forward
to seeing where the team
goes this year! Good luck
boys!
MCI T.A.D.D. mem-
bers have been getting
ready for the holiday sea-
son by selling Christmas
wreaths around town to
fundraise for their group.
Tey did well to get their
message to the buyers of
the wreaths and will con-
tinue spreading the Dont
Drive Distracted message
throughout the holiday
season.
Well, thats all for now!

M
innedosas Ban-
tams played two
regular season games at
home this past weekend.
Neepawa visited the local
rink on Saturday, Decem-
ber 14th in what turned
out to be a very close
and exciting game. The
teams traded early goals
in the first period and
they would head into the
second tied at one apiece.
Neepawa scored the lone
goal in the middle frame
and then jumped out to
a two goal lead early in
the third. Minnedosa
came back to tie it by the
mid-point of the period.
The two teams battled
it out for the go ahead
goal which unfortunately
came with only 3.5 min-
utes left to play, scored
by the opponents who
held on for the 4-3 win.
Josh Belcher 2G,1A; Joel
Hnybida 1G,1A; 1 assist
each to Matthew Kowal
and Austin Hall. Jayden
Morrice putting in a great
performance in goal.
Brandons Kelleher
Leafs ventured into town
on Sunday, December
15th to challenge The
Bombers. Minnedosas
bench was a little short
this game, but it seemed
to have no ill effect on the
home team as they came
out strong from the first
puck drop. Minnedosa
moved the puck well and
skated hard for three full
periods giving them a
much deserved 10-3 vic-
tory. Joel Hnybida and
Zane MacDonald both re-
cording a hat-trick; Josh
Belcher 2G,4A; Nathan
Dornn 1G,1A; Hayden
Crampain 1G,3A; Nolan
Bailey 2A; Nick Henry and
Elmer Yew-Gaywish with
single assists. Joe Lane
in net saw limited action,
but made timely saves to
keep the momentum of
the game in Minnedosas
favour. Great job Bomb-
ers!
Next action for the
team will be this Sunday
as they head out on the
road to Brandon to face
off with The Police Assn.
Jets. Merry Christmas ev-
eryone - have a great holi-
day season!

OBITUARY
HARRIET ALEXANDRA (TOMMIE) WEIR
APRIL 22, 1923 NOVEMBER 26, 2013
Harriet Alexandra (Tommie) Weir (ne Tompson,) age 90, passed
away peacefully on Tuesday, November 26, 2013 at Hillcrest Place
in Brandon, Manitoba, with her family by her side.
Tommie was born April 22, 1923 on the family farm near
Davidson, Saskatchewan the ninth of Harold (Harry) and Olivia
Tompsons fourteen children. Raised in Davidson, she trained
as a Registered Nurse at the Regina General Hospital. Tere she
became better known by her nickname Tommie, a derivative of
her maiden name. Te name stuck; her given name common only
among her extended family.
While nursing at the Regina General Hospital, Tommie caught the
eye of Walter Weir, a young man from High Bluf and Portage la
Prairie who was apprenticing as a funeral director with Speers
Funeral Home. Walter informed his parents, Maude (Christina Maude Cox-
Smith) and Dick (James Dixon) Weir, who then resided in Winnipeg, that he was bringing his
friend Tommie home for Christmas. Much to their shock, Tommie turned out to be a young
woman. Maude quickly changed the sleeping arrangements while Dick poured Tommie her frst
drink!
Tommie and Walter married at the United Church in Davidson on November 3, 1951. Tey
moved to Portage la Prairie where Walter began work at McMaster Funeral Home and Tommie
worked as a nurse at the Portage General Hospital, residing in a suite over Hills Pharmacy. Teir
frst child, Leslie Enid, was born shortly after and the young family moved to Minnedosa shortly
after as the new owners of Weirs Funeral Home (complete with local ambulance service, fower
shop and furniture store, a common combination at the time.) Tree sons came along over the
next few years; John Dixon, James Patrick and Hugh Cameron.
Walter was elected as a member of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly in 1959 under Progres-
sive Conservative Premier Duf Roblin, requiring him to be away from home a great deal. Tommie
kept the family and their business on an even keel. Walters appointment as a Cabinet Minister
led to a move to Winnipeg in 1963 and eventual sale of the funeral home to Hugh Sanderson, a
long-time employee, but developed the cottage as a connection for family and community.
In November, 1967, Walter succeeded Duf Roblin as Leader of the Progressive Conservative
Party of Manitoba, hence becoming the Premier of the Province, a post he proudly held when he
presided over the of cial opening of the Red River Floodway in 1968 and when together he and
Tommie participated in hosting Manitobas Centennial celebrations, including the historic visit
of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1970.
Tommie weathered the highs, lows and stresses of many election campaigns by Walters side.
Tey were partners in public life. Teir home was a gathering place for political colleagues and
respected opponents, Minnedosa constituents and people from all walks of life who enjoyed
their friendship and hospitality.
Retiring from public life in 1971, Walter and Tommie made their new home in Mississauga,
Ontario, where Walter became President of Service Corporation International Canada and later
joined Memorial Gardens. Teir three sons kept life interesting and they enjoyed new friendships
with neighbours and more frequent visits with eastern relatives. Five years later they decided to
return to their roots, moving home to Minnedosa where Walter established a fnancial planning
and insurance business. Tommie became involved in the community, particularly enjoying her
leadership role in celebrating Minnedosas Centennial in 1983 and the Canada Summer Games
in 1997. She tended a large garden for many years that kept her busy pickling and canning things
that she loved to share with others. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting and crafts which will remain
family treasures.
When Walter passed away unexpectedly in April, 1985, Tommie rose to the challenge of be-
ing family matriarch. She continued to be interested and involved in the lives of her children,
grandchildren and her extended family. In earlier years Tommie enjoyed walks around the
dam and beach road near her home in Minnedosa. She took care of and remembered countless
relatives, friends and neighbours throughout the years, always fnding ways to show kindness
to others, whether it was funny cards, gag gifts, her Halloween goodie bags, gifts of Christmas
baking, decorated Christmas brooms or home-made antipasto, candy or fudge. In recent years
crosswords kept her mind sharp and her vocabulary impressive. She enjoyed following sports,
especially favourite players, always pleased to win a few dollars from Cam on their friendly bets.
Tommie was predeceased by her parents Olivia and Harry Tompson, husband Walter, his par-
ents, Maude and Dick Weir, and her brother-in-law Bill Weir; her sisters, Nettie Frances, Gladys,
Bertha Paintin and husband Claude, Lillian Bigg and husband Robert, Helen Hrubetz, Olivia Gil-
lespie and husband Harold and brothers Stanley, Leslie, Alex, Robert (Barney) and his wife Mar-
garet and their son Dale, who always had a special place in her heart.
Tommie also cherished the memory of beloved pets that were part of her family over the years,
Mike, Tinkerbelle, Tufy-Lin, Tuk, Brando, Quinn and Kayla and more recently time with Lynx,
Patches and Comet.
Mom will be missed by her children, Leslie, her partner Terry Cheater and his family, grand-
daughter Kara Frain and husband Gord Dowhan, great granddaughter Victoria Mary Dowhan
born after Moms passing), John Weir, J.P. (Pat) Weir, his partner Teressa Treloar and her family,
Cam and his wife Alison Weir and their sons Nigel and Tyler as well as her sisters May Gill and
her husband Bev (Unionville, ON,) Grace Halstead and her husband Ludwig (Skip) (Tomasville,
Georgia,) brother Glenn Tompson and his wife Jesmond (Gimli, MB) and Leslies widow Eliza-
beth (Betty) Tompson in the United States in addition to many nieces, nephews and her vast
extended family.
Leslie, John and Cam extend heartfelt appreciation to Pat and Teressa for always being there
for Mom.
In accordance with Moms wishes, a private family service will be held and her remains will be
interred next to Walter at the Minnedosa Cemetery. Flowers are gratefully declined. Should you
wish to honour Tommies life please show kindness to someone who may be lonely or alone or

Dear Santa...
Dear Santa,
I have been good this year because I have
been sharing things with my sisters, Avery and
Leah. I have also been helping my Mom with
some chores.
How are you doing, Mrs. Claus? Are you baking
lots of cookies? I hope the elves are not too
tired from making lots of toys!
All I would like for Christmas is a Christmas
Cabbage Patch Doll with some Christmas and
winter outfits. Id also like some Christmas
clothes and some cozy Christmas pyjamas.
My sister would like a Tablet and my youngest
sister would like some Doc McStuffins things.
Thanks!
Love, Madeline Penner

Dear Santa,
We have been very good boys this year!
How are Mrs. Claus and the elves?
For Christmas I would like a new Lego dump
truck, a Lego Coast Guard kit and Mega Blocs
Power Rangers. I would also like a Switch
and Go T-Rex Dino!
My brother Ryese would like some Home De-
pot tools, a Tractor Tom DVD and a John
Deere tractor! My puppy, Tessa, would re-
ally love a new bone to chew!
I am so excited for Christmas in our new
house this year! Ryese and I have been
helping Mommy decorate it with Christmas
decorations and we just put up our Christ-
mas tree. Christmas Eve we will leave out
some cookies for you and some carrots for
your reindeer. Hope you have a safe flight!
Love,
Devin and Ryese
Dear Santa,
My name is Bella Willis. I live in
Minnedosa, Manitoba and I am 4 years old. My
Mommy and Daddy say that I have been a
very good girl this year!
This year for Christmas I would love
leg warmers, Lego, a Bar-bie, a real
magic wand, a fairy dress
and a sleigh bell.
Can you please say hi
to the elves for me?
I hope they have a
fun time making all the
toys.
Thanks Santa,
Merry Christmas!
WISHING YOU A WHITE

All I would like for Christmas is a Tablet 3 and

would also like a Santa doll and a Mrs. Claus

Thank you!

The traditional three
colours of
Christmas are
green, red, and gold.
Green has long been
a symbol of life and
rebirth; red
symbolizes the
blood of Christ, and
gold represents light
as well as wealth
and royalty.
This note is trimmed with best
wishes, and gratitude too, plus a string of
good tidings to each one of you!
Happy Holidays and all the best in 2014!

C
ome along Tribune
readers as we turn back
the hands of time for another
trip down Minnedosa Main
Street for a local shopping
spree of Christmas past. Tis
year, we look back 40 years to
Christmas 1973 and share
with you some of the holiday
gift ideas that were being ad-
vertised by local businesses
that winter.
We will start with the big
old movie house just south
of the river. Te Lyric Teatre
will not be open on Christ-
mas Day but will be play-
ing the feature flm, Pulp
starring Michael Caine on
Christmas Eve and Box-
ing Day. Other upcoming
f lms at the Lyric include
Emperor of the North star-
ring Lee Marvin and Ernest
Borgnine; Country Music
starring Marty Robbins and
Innocent Bystanders star-
ring Stanley Barker and Ger-
aldine Page. Show times are
8 p.m. weekdays with three
shows on Saturday; a 2:30
matinee followed by evening
shows at 7 and 9 p.m.
Further north, we fnd
Chipperfelds Clothing Cen-
tre which is advertising as
Your Christmas Gift Head-
quarters. Seasonal specials
can be found on luggage, ski-
doo suits, mukluks, curling
sweaters and curling shoes.
Over at the Trade and Bar-
gain Centre there are Christ-
mas gifts galore. Here we can
fnd a huge selection of K-Tel
records and tapes including
Don Messer, Hank Williams
and Donny Osmond to
name a few. Tis busy store
also has a stereo consoles
with built-in 8-track play-
ers, a large selection of fur-
niture, musical instruments,
party games and novelties.
Wilton Mercury Sales,
featuring Minnedosas frst
automatic carwash, is ofer-
ing a complete exterior wash
and wax in less than ten min-
utes for $3.00. As a special
Christmas ofer, buy a mini-
mum $5.00 worth of gas and
get an exterior car wash for
only $2.50!
Down on the west side of
Main Street, across from the
United Church, Boyds IGA
has some grocery specials
to help with your holiday
meal. Farm fresh turkeys are
selling at 87 cents a pound.
Mincemeat at $1.29 for a 44
ounce can, whole hams at 99
cents a pound, one pound of
cranberries for 39 cents and
a nine pound box of Manda-
rin oranges for $3.59.

Barry Delmage at Ma-
cleods Hardware is having a
special Christmas sale. Here
are some of this weeks deals;
six foot Christmas pine trees
for $21.99. Girls parkas, reg-
ularly priced between $14.99
to $21.99 are now selling at
half price while Mens Club
jackets, regular $19.99, are
now ofered at $9.99.
In addition to Christmas
Trees, Ericksons Green-
houses has Christmas pot-
ted plants including Mums,
Azaleas, Poinsettias and Cy-
clamen. Tese are starting
at $2.85 a pot and there is a
good selection of colours.
Shipleys Te Jeweller
suggests a watch, Christmas
Charm, mens hair dryer,
wallet, cuf links, tie tacks or
a pen and pencil desk set as
the perfect gift this holiday
season.
You will want to capture
this years Christmas mem-
ories to f ll your photo al-
bum so be sure to drop in at
Shamrock Studios. Here, co-
lour flm is selling at 99 cents
a roll or pick up a dozen fash
bulbs for $1.25.
Carters Radio and TV
your local Admiral dealer,
is showcasing gifts for ju-
nior! How about a portable
cassette player with micro-
phone for recording or may-
be an eight-track car player
or an apartment size colour
television which is now sell-
ing at $459?
For the snowmobilers,
Walter Jacobson up at the
4 and 10 Esso Service is of-
fering a good selection of
Skiroule snowmobiles this
winter.
I hope you have enjoyed
our wander down memory
lane as we remember some
of the Minnedosa Merchants
who were meeting all your
Christmas shopping needs
in 1973.

Dear Santa,
I have been good this year because I play
nicely with my sisters, and I listen to my
Mommy and Daddy. How are you and Mrs.
Claus? I am sure the elves are busy making
lots of toys! Are Rudolph and the other rein-
deer ready for their big night?
All I want for Christmas is a Doc McStuffins
doctor bag. I really would like a real puppy
but I dont think Mommy and Daddy would
approve so a soft toy puppy that barks
would be okay!
I hope you like the milk and cookies that I
will leave for you! I cant wait for Christmas!
Love,
Leah Penner xoxo

Dear Santa Claus,
Have you and your elves been busy this year?
For Christmas this year I would like:
1) Thomas the train stuff
2) Race Track
3) Chocolate
4) Spider man socks
Hope you and mrs. Claus have a good Christmas this
year.

And she will have a
son, and you are to
name him Jesus,
for he will save his
people from their
sins. -- Matthew
1:21, NLT
H
ave you ever had
some awkward family
tension around Christmas?
You know the kind Im talk-
ing about. Te kind of ten-
sion where Uncle Fred
and Aunt Susan havent
been on talking terms
since the late nineties. Te
kind of tension where ev-
eryone kows there is a fam-
ily problem but everyone
sets it aside because its
Christmas. In every family,
there is always some kind
of tension.
When we talk of Christ-
mas, we often hear the
words peace on earth and
goodwill to humanity and
often we think that these
are great ideals. But in re-
ality, we struggle to have
goodwill to certain family
members that have ofend-
ed us; to have peace with
those who have wounded
us; to have joy in the midst
of grief. Te peace, joy and
love of the Christmas sea-
son seems like nothing
more than a sentimental
dream. We wish everyone
could get along but we sim-
ply can not create peace in
our family.
We need someone to
step in and to make peace
for us. We need someone
to save us from our confict.
Tats why the Christmas
message is so important.
Te angel announced to
Joeseph that Jesus would
save his people from their
sins. Tis is the reason Je-
sus was born: to save us
from ourselves. Te Son of
God lived a perfect, sinless
life and went to the cross
where he was... crushed
for our sins... beaten so we
could be whole... whipped
so we could be healed.
(Isaiah 53:5) Tis is why the
church celebrates Christ-
mas. Only faith in the death
and resurrection of Jesus
can heal our soul, our fam-
ilies, and our world.

S
everal thousand per-
sons, from tiny tots
to young-thinking grey
beards, lines Main Street
and 2nd Avenue S.W. to
greet Santa Claus and his
parade on Saturday, De-
cember 7th.
Te Parade
Te Strathclair Major-
ettes led the way with their
bright Christmas coloured
uniforms and with their
completed and much
admired marching steps.
Tey were followed by
more than 20 foats spon-
sored by various individu-
als, businesses and orga-
nizations and fanked by
a number of clowns to the
great delight of the small
fry and some not-so-small
young ladies.
Prize Winning Floats
Prizes for foats were
awarded by judges, Rev.
Clif ord Campbell, Mrs.
Edgar Franks and Miss
Dorothy English, as fol-
lows:
1st prize for drawing at-
tention to the true mean-
ing of Christmas went to
the Beta Sigma Phi foat.
2nd prize was won by
Minnedosa Auto Sales for
their Night Before Christ-
mas.
3rd prize was taken by
Alexanders Pharmacy
with Te Old Woman who
Lived in a Shoe , a foat
which showed much fne
workmanship and imagi-
nation.
Prizes were worth $25,
$15 and $10 respectively.
Honourable mentions
Honourable mentions
were given to the Towns
foat for the plain presen-
tation of Te Spirit of Giv-
ing and to the Legions
Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs. Te judges
also felt the Strathclair Ma-
jorettes deserved a special
mention for their fne per-
formance.
Sponsored by the Kins-
men Club and organized
to the smallest details by
them, the parade, by uni-
versal agreement, was de-
clared an outstanding suc-
cess.
