T
he CP Holiday Train arrived in Minnedosa on
Tuesday evening, welcomed by a crowd of resi-
dents. Despite cool temperatures many came out to see
the 14 decorated train cars roll through town.
Tose in attendance gathered around the f re pit to
stay warm, enjoyed some hot chocolate and looked
on as Doc Walker and Melanie Doane took to the
travelling stage car to perform a few Christmas tunes
for the crowd.
Tis is such a great thing for our town and we are very
fortunate that we are one of the only places in Westman
to have this visit our community, commented Mayor Ray
Orr.
Troughout the evening donations were made to the
Christmas Cheer Board as well as the Minnedosa Food
Bank. Te local charities received approximately 1,000
pounds of food as well as $443.50 in monetary donations.
All of the donated food and money will stay on the shelves
of these Minnedosa charities before being distributed to
families in need in our community.

H
ealth regions through-
out the province con-
tinue to work toward the
provincial governments
strategy of providing bet-
ter primary care services
and working to ensure that
all Manitoba residents will
have a family doctor by
2015.
Currently in Minnedo-
sa, emergency room and
acute care coverage con-
tinues. Dr. Kathryn Stitt
who hails from Brandon
and completed her family
medicine residency in Brit-
ish Columbia in July, has
been in town providing lo-
cum service coverage since
October and will continue
to do so until the end of De-
cember.
Prairie Mountain
Health continues to ad-
dress the doctor shortage
through a number of re-
cruitment initiatives. Te
region recently recruited
new specialists to the Bran-
don General Hospital,
which includes, Nuclear
Medicine Specialist, Dr. Sa-
lem Yuoness, Dermatolo-
gist, Dr. Jason Sneath and
Psychiatrist, Dr. Femi Afo-
labi.
Te health region has
several other leads that it is
following up on, however
further information will not
be provided until details
are fnalized.
In addition to constant
recruitment, the region is
continuing to expand its
use of physicians assis-
tance. Twelve physicians
assistants graduating this
coming year recently ac-
cepted positions within the
province.
Physician assistants
are providing capable and
compassionate care across
the province and we are ex-
tremely pleased to see this
profession grow in Mani-
toba, said Health Minister,
Erin Selby. Manitoba has
led the country in training
physician assistants, rec-
ognizing the important role
they play in making health
care more timely and ac-
cessible, and this is great
news for Manitoba fami-
lies.
Seven of the accepted
positions are with the Win-
nipeg Health Authority in
the emergency, primary
and cardiac departments.
Other positions throughout
the province will include
the surgery wing of Bran-
don Regional Health Cen-
ter, a primary care position
at the Winkler facility as
well as one position in the
emergency department of
the Tompson health facil-
ity.
Physicians assistants
work collaboratively with
physicians and have the
ability to conduct exams,
order tests, perform minor
procedures and prescribe
medicine and other health
services. Tere are cur-
rently physicians assistants
working in every region of
the province.
I am thrilled we have
successfully trained and
retained 12 physician assis-
tants to continue their work
in Manitoba, said Dr. Brian
Postl, dean of medicine at
the University of Manitoba.
Tese newly graduated
physician assistants will
provide much-needed care
and attention to families in
every corner of our prov-
ince.
Since 2008, 46 people
have graduated from the
physicians assistance edu-
cational program and 87
percent of those graduates
have continued to work
within Manitoba after grad-
uation.
Prairie Mountain
Health has also recently
sponsored four interna-
tional graduates. Currently,
the graduates are complet-
ing their one-year program
to achieve conditional li-
censing requirements.
Regional directors will
not know the assessment
status of the physicians un-
til February 2014. Follow-
ing the assessment, the re-
gion will review placement
options based on priority
areas.
Along with doctor
shortages the region has
also been combating press-
ing nursing shortages, in
particular in the Neepawa
and Virden centres.
Prairie Mountain
Health recently sent repre-
sentation to a nursing ca-
reer fair in eastern Canada,
coming back with over 250
applications. Te region
will also send representa-
tives to a nursing recruit-
ment tour in western Cana-
da at the end of November.
Te Province is also
making an efort to reach
rural communities, launch-
ing the frst of three mobile
clinics last week. Te inau-
gural mobile clinic began
to see patients in the Prairie
Mountain Health region on
November 28th. Te Prov-
inces mobile clinic pro-
gram will of cially launch
in 2014.
Each mobile clinic is
stafed with a nurse prac-
titioner, a registered nurse
and a primary care assis-
tant. Tey will be equipped
with two exam rooms,
medical and diagnostic
equipment, and informa-
tion technology in the form
of electronic medical re-
cords. Tese clinics will of-
fer regular checkups, assist
in managing chronic pain
and minor ailments.
We are extremely
pleased the mobile clinic
will begin seeing patients
in our health region, said
Penny Gilson, chief ex-
ecutive of cer with Prairie
Mountain Health. Tis
will provide for further out-
reach opportunities allow-
ing health-care profession-
als to see patients close to
home and will improve ac-
cess to primary care service
in many communities.
Initial clinics routes
will include San Clara,
Binscarth, Birdtail Sioux,
McAley, Tootinaowziib-
eeing and Ojibway frst
nations. Routes will be
expanded to visit more
communities in the future
and two additional clinics
will provide service to the
southern health- Sante Sud
region next fall and the In-
terlake region in the sum-
mer of 2015.
Once in full service
each clinic is expected to be
the primary care home for
1,000 Manitoba residents
who currently do not have
their own family doctor.

T
he municipality and the Town of Eriksdale are not
unlike many small towns in the Interlake and in
rural Manitoba. Tey struggle to exist and grow slowly,
sometimes falling back, sometimes moving forward.
Often growth is measured in the initiatives of a
municipalities people and its elected representatives.
In Eriksdale, we measure our growth with enthusiasm
when an entrepreneur builds a restaurant, an insur-
ance of ce is established or a new family moves to
town. Recently, ten two and three acre lots were made
available for sale with the provision to build within
two years of sale. Presently, many have been sold and
fve or six have homes.
Tirty-six years ago my wife and I settled in Er-
iksdale. Te community had what we wanted: a good
school, active community centre, many services and
a busy hospital. Even today, much remains the same
only now the tree-lined streets are paved, a busy
health centre has been built as well as a number of se-
nior housing facilities. We enjoyed the fact that we got
to know most everyone very early after our arrival and,
to this day, we can go to the cofee shops or to commu-
nity events where everyone knows your name and
has time for you.
Our municipal of ce is stafed with local people
and our elected councillors and reeve are committed
citizens who are charged with seeing to the welfare of
our community. Trough the years they have steered
us on a course that kept Eriksdale thriving. Trough
prudent management of fnances they have operated
in the black while providing us with road upkeep, snow
removal, garbage pick-up, a well-stafed and equipped
fre department and many other services. I liked the
fact that I could always go to council either as a former
president of our Chamber or as a private citizen and
would always get a respectful hearing and a yes or
no answer to my plans or questions.
Now, I see this suddenly changing by a simple
stroke of a pen with the introduction of Bill 33 by the
NDP. I asked our local MLA, Tom Nevakshonof, for
his input and was told he supports Bill 33 because a
merged municipality can compete at a higher level.
He says amalgamations will enable improvement to
infrastructure. Well, I would like to know exactly how
this will be done and who will decide what improve-
ments will be done and in which community. As it
presently stands, Comrade Struthers has decreed that
we will be amalgamated with our neighbour to the
north. Te R.M. of ce will be in that community and
any council will likely have the voting power over what
developments go to which community - good for the
larger town, bad for us. To date, no one from Selingers
gang has been out to meet with us to address our con-
cerns. It seems that power has corrupted the NDP and
they feel they need answer to no one. In our commu-
nity, the sentiment is that this is how life must be un-
der communism.
I asked Mr. Nevakshonof if he, as the representa-
tive of the people who elected him, had visited smaller
communities afected to assess their position regard-
ing amalgamation. His reply is he supported Bill 33.
Upon reading some comments by other communities
and resolutions at the 2012 AMM, I fnd it dif cult to
believe that it is only a small number of communi-
ties against Bill 33. One of the most eloquent stands
against Bill 33 comes from Mayor Eileen Clark of
Gladstone in September of this year - it is worth a read
(Google it).
Rest assured, I am not opposed to amalgamation
of municipalities for the greater good of both provided
both see it as benefcial to all members of their com-
munities and are in agreement. What I am vehement-
ly opposed to is a government running rough-shod
over the rights of its citizens. Te NDP has used its
majority to trample on our rights like some banana-
republic assuming it knows what is best for the peas-
ants. Where are the consultations, government of -
cials meeting with community? People like Struthers
should be explaining to us exactly how a smaller com-
munity like Eriksdale would beneft. Until such time
as small afected communities receive serious com-
mitment from the likes of Selinger, Struthers and Ne-
vakshonof may I suggest that these communities so
afected stage a revolt and refuse to amalgamate? Lets
see what kind of punishment they dish out to make us
fall in line. Im certain if that were to happen, every
newspaper, television and radio station in Canada
would follow this very closely.
Remember the words of T omas Jef erson: A gov-
ernment big enough to give you everything you want,
is strong enough to take everything you have.
Amalgamation:
the beginning or the end?

Letters to

R
ecycled commitments
and no progress to-
wards balancing the bud-
get were highlights of the
T rone Speech which
opened the fall session of
the Manitoba Legislature
on Tuesday, November
12th .
Although the speech
was the longest in memo-
ry, the abundance of words
did not hide the misman-
agement and lack of lead-
ership demonstrated by
the NDP government over
the past 15 years.
Manitobans are very
clear about the following:

* Tere is no justifcation
for the increase in the pro-
vincial sales tax. Tere is
no evidence that the dol-
lars raised will go to core
infrastructure that is so
important in all our com-
munities.
* T e government
continues to fail Manito-
bans. Despite more than a
decade of unprecedented
revenue, our key public
services are deteriorating
under the Selinger watch.
Record spending has
somehow resulted in fewer
front line health services,
less access to day care
and deteriorating roads,
bridges and other key in-
frastructure.
* T e NDP spending
spree is costing Manito-
bans today through lost
jobs and higher taxes and
tomorrow, where the bur-
den will be passed on to
our children and grand-
children.
Tere is only commit-
ment to spending not to
efective delivery of public
services and clearly not to
balancing budget which
received no mention in the
Trone Speech.
Te result is clear
Manitoba continues to
fall further behind other
provinces and Manitobans
continue to pay, includ-
ing families paying $1,600
more this year alone due to
tax increases.

Taxpayers of
Minnedosa,
B
y now you will have re-
ceived the letter from
the Town of Minnedosa
advising you of a public
hearing in regards to the
garbage collection levy.
Te proposal is a fat tax
bypassing the assess-
ment of properties. It is
directed at low income/
low assessment properties.
Minnedosa Town Coun-
cil had no problem fnd-
ing $1.3 million to spend
on MREC (now classifed
as fund raising), and al-
locate $300,000 annually
to the arena reserve; all
this for the benef t of 88
hockey players, many of
whom are not even resi-
dents of Minnedosa. Yet
they cannot fnd $166,000
for an essential service
garbage collection that
will serve 2,500 residents
of Minnedosa.
For the last six years
council has allocated
$300,000 to the arena re-
serve, which now has over
one million dollars in it.
Council can reallocate
funds to cover the cost of
garbage collection. Tere
is no need for the Special
Services Levy!
T e public hearing
will be held on December
17th, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. in
council chambers. Tis is a
small room and uninviting
to the public, and the time
is most inconvenient. It is
obvious that council does
not want taxpayers to at-
tend.
Taxpayers may f le a
written objection as direct-
ed in the mailing. Council
may give f rst reading of
the proposed by-law and
provide notice to each
person who fled an objec-
tion to the plan / proposal
of councils intent to pro-
ceed with the proposal,
and a persons right to fle
a notice of objection with
the Municipal Board. If at
least 25 objectors or 10% of
the potential taxpayers ob-
ject, the Board must hold a
hearing.
T e Special Service
Levy will have a signifcant
impact on low income /
low assessment properties.
Tere is no need for this
tax! Council has suf cient
funds, it is just a matter of
setting better priorities!
I urge taxpayers to
exercise your democratic
right!

T
he f rst of December
marked the deadline
for Manitoba municipali-
ties to present their amal-
gamation plans to the
Government of Manitoba,
a change that has been
said to alter the shape and
identity of Manitobas ru-
ral communities.
While many of the
provinces reeves and
councilors oppose the
mandatory amalgama-
tion, the Government
of Manitoba says that it
comes down to dollars
and cents. Having fewer
community governments
means less overhead. As
well, communities with
larger budgets will be
better positioned to ben-
ef t from infrastructure
spending grants.
Te R.M. of Blan-
shard, the R.M. of Sas-
katchewan and the Town
of Rapid City have submit-
ted an amalgamation plan
which would see the three
municipalities amalgam-
ate as of January 1st, 2015.
Te Council of the R.M.
of Blanshard is opposed
to forced amalgamations
and the timeline that was
given for the same but
have completed the amal-
gamation plan as required
by provincial legislation,
commented Diane Kucu-
lym, Chief Administrative
Of cer with the R.M. of
Blanshard.
Along with the R.M.
of Blanshard (population
526), R.M. of Saskatch-
ewan (570), and Rapid
City (417), the nearby
R.M. of Odanah (644) and
the R.M. of Minto (533)
have also submitted their
required plan to the pro-
vincial government for
review. As well, the Town
of Erickson (487) and the
R.M. of Clanwilliam (414)
will be amalgamating and
have submitted their pro-
posed plan.
T e December 1st
deadline was drawn out in
May, 2012 when the Gov-
ernment passed Bill 33,
the Municipal Moderniza-
tion Act, which requires
any municipality with a
population of fewer than
1,000 residents to amal-
gamate with a neighbour-
ing municipality.
Te Province boasts
that the amalgamation
will allow for more ef -
cient delivery of services
and more economic op-
portunities. However, the
plan has seen quite a bit of
opposition of rural com-
munity leaders, who say
that the governments plan
is both rushed and ill-con-
ceived.
Everyone involved in
this process is extremely
frustrated about the way
that things have been
handled. Many feel that
the way the government
has gone about this pro-
cess with no consultation
of these communities, is
a blatant disregard for our
opinion about our own
communities. I am not in
favour of making decisions
in haste, but that is what is
happening because of the
pressure from Te Prov-
ince. It is a very stressful
situation for everyone in-
volved, commented Do-
reen Stapleton, Deputy
Reeve with the R.M. of
Harrison.
Government of cials
insist that the amalgama-
tion is necessary in order to
update municipal bound-
aries that were drawn up
a hundred years ago, and
at that time, borders were
created based on rudi-
mentary needs. Needs that
have very little in common
with todays rural lifestyle.
In Manitoba there are
197 municipalities and in
accordance to Bill 33, 87 of
these communities will be
forced to comply with the
mandatory amalgamation.
Communities that
struggle with the Decem-
ber 1st deadline may be
granted an extension, but
the government stresses
that Te Province will shift
to the newly-amalgamated
borders by the 2014 gener-
al election date of October
22nd.
Te R.M. of Harri-
son along with the R.M.
of Strathclair, the R.M. of
Shoal Lake and the R.M.
of Park have yet to submit
their plan and have been
granted an extension until
December 10th.
We are currently in a
hiatus period until it can
be determined who we
will be partnering with.
Currently discussions are
continuing with the R.M.
of Park and the R.M. of
Strathclair, but no fnal de-
cisions have been made,
explained Stapleton.
Once the required
plans have been accepted
by the provincial govern-
ment, council seats that
have been representing
a handful of citizens will
transform into those that
represent hundreds. Te
entire rural government
landscape will be recast
and the single largest re-
gional re-imagining in
Manitoban history will be
underway.

A
public hearing will be held in Minnedosa on
December 17th to give the public an opportu-
nity to weigh-in on the proposed garbage Bylaw.
Bylaw #2526 will see the cost of the towns
garbage services covered through a special ser-
vice levy.
Garbage services were altered to this form of
payment in 2009 when Bylaw #2486 was passed.
As the previous Bylaw was on a five-year-term,
the Town is now looking to renew the law which
requires them to hold a public hearing.
Town authorities say that collecting the ser-
vices fees for garbage collection through this
route is a more fair method of charging ratepayers
for the service as opposed to collection through
the general mill rate.
Previous to 2009, garbage costs were includ-
ed in the general mill rate, which means that rate
payers with higher-assessed properties were pay-
ing more for the same level of garbage pickup
than those with lower-assessed properties.
This is intended to even the cost for everyone
in town. If you are in a highly-assessed property
you wont have to pay a lot more than someone
who is in a lower-assessed property who maybe
has five times the amount of garbage that you do,
explained Mayor Ray Orr.
Garbage collection costs for 2013 is estimat-
ed at $166,000 and it is estimated that the special
service tax will recover approximately 75 percent
of these costs, leaving an estimated $42,930 to be
raised through the general municipal mill rate.
We have to provide this service and to do
so it takes employees, equipment, a landfill site.
Whether it is on the tax role or not, it is a bill that
has to be paid for. Town Council thinks that this is
a fair way to do it and that is why the change was
made in 2009 in the first place, continued Orr.
As stated in an article in the October 18th
edition of The Tribune, the new Bylaw displays no
dramatic changes from Bylaw #2486 but will be
open to public commentary none the less.
Bylaw #2526 is proposed on a three year term
running from 2014-2016. The Town of Minnedosa
provides weekly garbage collection within town
limits that is then disposed at the Evergreen Tech-
nologies Ltd.

Atoms
By GARY TOPHAM
O
n Saturday, November
30th, the Atoms host-
ed their arch rivals from
Neepawa. Tis was a very
close and exciting game
from the drop of the puck.
Both teams exchanged
chances back and forth all
game. At the end of two
periods, Neepawa lead by
a score of 2-0. Minnedosa
came out hard in the third
and narrowed the gap to
one with just a few min-
utes left in the game. With
the goalie pulled and on
the power play in the dying
seconds, the Minnedosa
Atoms could not fnd the
equalizer and Neepawa
won by a score of 3-2.
Scoring for Minnedo-
sa: Chase Miller 1G,
Bryden McFarlane 1G,
and Cole Topham 1A. Cole
Cibula had a great game in
net, stopping many close
in chances. Also to our
bravest player of the game
- Payton Burton for block-
ing one of the hardest shots
all year with her head!

Bantams
By CRISSY KOWAL

T
he Minnedosa Ban-
tams hit the road to
Brandon on Friday, No-
vember 29th to take on
Te Kelleher Leafs. With
no goals scored in the frst
the stage was set for a close
game. Brandon opened
up the scoring early in
the second, but it didnt
take long for Minnedosa
to even things up and at
the 3:00 minute mark of
the frame they added an-
other to take the lead. Te
Bombers gave themselves
some reassurance at the
halfway mark of the third,
but Te Leafs didnt quit
and managed to come
within one with less than
four minutes to play in the
game. A late penalty for
Minnedosa gave Brandon
a two man advantage with
the empty net, but they
were unable to fnd the
equalizer and Te Bomb-
ers came home with a 3-2
win.
Josh Belcher 2G,1A;

scoreboard 3-2 after the
frst period and 5-3 after
the second. It was in the
third when Minnedosa
came to life and began
to send them over the
goal line. With just over
fve minutes to play Te
Bombers took their frst
lead of the game and were
able to keep Brandon from
adding any more, skating
of the ice with a 6-5 vic-
tory.

Winners of the November, 2013
Lions Club 200 Draw

By JENNIFER PAIGE
L
ast week many
Minnedosa residents
spent the evening chuck-
ling in the audience of the
Minnedosa Drama Clubs
inaugural production.
Sin, Sex and the CIA,
a comedic play written by
Michael and Susan Parker,
came to life on stage at the
Minnedosa Community
Conference Centre in the
evenings of November
28th and 29th.
During their debut
event, audiences were
transported to a safe house
in the mountains of Virgin-
ia. Te production, which
was produced by Lorraine
Russell and directed by
Mary Dalton, decorated
the stage with colourful
characters played by re-
lentless actors who bore
it all for an audience reac-
tion.
Josh Butler displayed
his knack for comedy act-
ing in the role of clumsy
and not-so-reliable C.I.A.
agent, Luke, who forced
the audience into stitches
almost every time he made
an appearance on stage.
Dylan Woodcock
played the role of Daniel,
an unassuming bad guy
with little patience for the
awkward C.I.A. agent or
the unexpected company
of the preaching, liquor-
loving, Reverend Aberna-
thy, played by Art Dalton.
Brittany MacDonald
played the role of Heather,
Daniels secret partner-
in-crime and fountain of
womanly advice for the ev-
er-naive, Millicent, played
by Katie Woychyshyn.
Woychyshyn depicted
Millicent as the Reverends
innocent secretary who
quickly became romanti-
cally interested in Luke.
Looking to Heather for ad-
vice on firtation, Millicent
made the audience cackle
with her realistic portrait
of an inexperienced girl
discovering her womanly
curves.
Jackie Birch played
Margaret, a United States
Secretary of State sent to
the Virginian safe house
for an-ever important and
confdential meeting with
a representative from the
Chagos Islands. Margaret
drew laughter from the
crowd as she struggled to
concentrate on the task at
hand with Daniel around.
Wyonne Baribeaus
flled out the cast playing
the role of Ranger Don, a
local ranger whose true
identity came to light at
the end of the play as the
undercover representative
from the Chagos Islands.
Tis year, even though
it was our very frst year,
was a roaring success. Our
initial play turned out be-
yond our expectations. It
was well attended, and we
were overwhelmed with
how positive the audience
response was, said Donna
Alexander, assistant direc-
tor with the Minnedosa
Drama Club. Because of
what a tremendous suc-
cess this play was and how
quickly we were sold out of
tickets, we are going to con-
sider running next years
production for an extra
night.
T e production was
transformed into an out-
ing for those in attendance,
ofering both a dinner and
desert theater with cater-
ing courtesy of Heather
Brazeau. Guests were also
ofered cof ee or tea from
Chipperfelds.
Servers for the eve-
ning were the Rivers Edge
Recreation Park Commit-
tee members, who also re-
ceived a donation from the
Drama Club for assisting in
the delivery of the evening.
We were able to raise
enough funds to cover costs
of this years play, set aside
some for upcoming pro-
duction expenses as well as
make a $2,500 donation to
the Rivers Edge Recreation
Park, explained Alexander.
Te Drama Club will
now move on to develop-
ing plans for next years
production, hoping to have
a play selected sometime
in late January and plan to
host the production in No-
vember once again.
Hosting the produc-
tion in November seemed
to be a really good time for
the community. We want-
ed to be cognoscente of
other community produc-
tion, harvest and the holi-
day season, so that people
wouldnt have to choose
which to attend. Te No-
vember date was well at-
tended and we will likely
keep with that schedule
next year, added Alexan-
der.
Te club plans to keep
the cast size around fve to
10 people and enjoyed tak-
ing on a comedy produc-
tion, but are certainly not
opposed to looking at their
dramatic and musical the-
ater script options.
It really just depends
on which plays we can af-
ford the rights to and what
is feasible in terms of cast-
ing and set design. One of
our biggest challenges in
the coming year is going to
be to fnd rehearsal space
as well as space to build
and create our sets. Tis
year we were very lucky to
have one of the local busi-
nesses donate the use of
their building, but that will
not be available to us next
year.
T e evening came
together with help from
a number of community
members, who donated
time to create every aspect
of the evening including
the set and stage.
Te drama club is re-
ally quite thankful to the
community and to so many
people for so many things.
It is really an attest to our
town at how well this came
together. And the positive
response we have received
has been so gratifying and
very encouraging, added
Alexander.
It is safe to say from the
community response and
successful ticket sales that
live theater has been estab-
lished in Minnedosa. Te
club encourages anyone
interested in participating
in any capacity to get in-
volved.
Tis is really a great
thing that everyone can
partake in, no matter what
their age. Productions like
this bring people together
and are a ton of fun to work
on and to watch. I hope this
will continue for a number
of years. Its a great addition
to our community, said Art
Dalton, actor with the club.

W
hen I suggested in
September that we
fundraise in November to
raise money and have a toy
drive for children that are
sick in the hospital over
Christmas, I never realized
how amazing it would be.
I am the staf advisor for
Tanners Crossing School
and at our September
Year at a Glance meeting
we decided that this year
we would raise money
for sick kids. I was proud
that the kids once again
wanted to raise money
for kids in Manitoba. Last
year we raised money for
Movember and Te Heart
and Stroke Foundation,
but this year we wanted to
do something for kids and
people we knew.
We discussed our idea
and I spoke to a friend who
has a young son who is sick
and asked what would be
the best thing for us to do.
When Bryce told me about
the great work at the Ron-
ald McDonald House and
how it helps sick kids in
rural Manitoba and other
areas, I talked to the kids.
Tey were totally into the
idea of making a difer-
ence for the sick kids. We
met and decided that we
should make cookies in
the shape of a teddy bear
and have a teddy bear/toy
toss.
Ms. Radclif e who is
our Home Ec. Teacher was
a great help and organized
the baking of the cookies.
She had all of the kids and
me too making 18 batches
of cookies. We made sugar
cookies. One of the stu-
dents brought their recipe
and we baked for three
hours on a Tuesday after
school. Te cookie cutting,
rolling, baking, and icing
was a blast. We had 14 kids
and two adults working to
make a diference. We end-
ed up making 415 cookies.
Some were broken, some
had turned to have difer-
ent shapes, but we did our
best and they were made
with love.
We sold the cookies
for the next two days for a
dollar a piece. We sold all
but ended up with $409.25
and we did get to eat a few.
We were really excited
that we had sold all of our
cookies. I called the Ron-
ald McDonald house and
they were really impressed
that we had raised so
much. I asked if we could
bring the money to the
Ronald McDonald House.
Wendy, from the Ronald
McDonald House, was
awesome and said that we
could come and she would
give us a tour as long as we
were healthy. I decided
that I would drive the two
presidents in and they
could present the cheque.
On the Friday, we had
our teddy bear/toy toss.
We ended up with 33 ted-
dy bears, lots of stuf es,
games, activities, etc. We
loaded up the toys, games,
and activities for the Ron-
ald McDonald House. We
decided to give the teddy
bears and stuf es to lo-
cal hospitals and EMS to
give to sick kids or kids
who faced tragedy over
the holidays. We contacted
the RHA and they gave us
contacts. We have spoken
to a few people and are
awaiting a response to tak-
ing our teddy bears and
stuf es. It has been really
amazing and people are
so amazed at the fact that
Tanners Crossing School,
a K-8 school, has been so
generous. (But that is a re-
fection of the community
we have).
One week later we
were in Winnipeg and
had a great opportunity
to drop of toys and the
cheque for $409.25 for the
Ronald McDonald House.
Te students were amazed
that 14 families could stay
there and that they share
a bathroom. We were glad
to hear that they had fve
tvs donated so now fve
rooms would have tvs, but
hoped that one day they
could all have a tv in their
room. Tere was only one
computer for all 14 fami-
lies to share too. We got
to see the common areas
and the basement with the
kitchen and living room
area. We were surprised
they shared a kitchen and
had a tub for their food.
Wendy, our tour guide,
told us that some compa-
nies come and make meals
for the families and that it
is appreciated. We thought
that was truly an awesome
idea. On our tour we met
another lady and she told
us that next year was the
Ronald McDonalds 30th
anniversary. Tey are go-
ing to have a block party
for the community at the
end of May. Tey hope
to get enough new Teddy
Bears so that the kids in
the area can have a free
teddy and enjoy the bar-
beque. We are hoping to
help them out with this
activity as well.
Te folks at the Ron-
ald McDonald House were
very welcoming and kind.
Tey were so caring and
inspiring that we couldnt
help, but want to do all
we could to help out. Tey
talked about the area they
have in the Health Science
Centre for families to stay
at when the kids are in the
ICU. Tree families can
stay there and they can
be from anywhere, but to
stay at the Ronald McDon-
ald House you need to be
from out of town.
T e two presidents
will be presenting the in-
formation to the rest of
the Student Council and
showing them a video of
the Ronald McDonald
House. We were surprised
and impressed. It was not
what we expected yet it
was so much more. It re-
ally is a house of love and
we are so pleased we had
the opportunity to be part
of it.
Congrats to all the
students at TCS for all
their hard work! All of the
students at TCS would like
to challenge other schools
to help out the Ronald
McDonald House and to
make a diference in the
lives of children in Mani-
toba.

OBITUARY
MCNA PROVINCE WIDE CLASSIFIEDS
Eunice Viola (Oman) Johnson
October , - November ,
On November 25, 2013, Eunice Johnson quietly slipped into
the presence of her God and Saviour. She was 94 years old.
Eunice was born on the farm of her father and mother,
John and Anna Oman, just north of Clanwilliam, Manitoba,
on October 29, 1919. She was educated at Grey School,
Clanwilliam, Angus Business College, Winnipeg, Prairie Bible
College and Childrens Ministries Institute of Santa Monica,
California. Growing up, she attended Immanuel Lutheran
Church near Clanwilliam and accepted Christ as her Saviour
when still a young child.
Eunice went to Brazil as a missionary with Child Evangelism
Fellowship Mission in 1950, where she lived and worked for 32
years, training Brazilian teachers and translating Bible lessons
for them to teach to boys and girls in Home Bible classes, Bible
camps, and in public schools. In 1951, she was married in
Brazil to Manfred Johnson, also of Clanwilliam, Manitoba. He
predeceased her in 1960 in Brazil. She is also predeceased by
her parents, fve sisters and three brothers, and survived by
several nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
She retired to Winnipeg in 1982, but in 2001 returned to
her roots spending her fnal years in Minnedosa. While in
Minnedosa, she enjoyed the company of family and friends,
spending many an evening playing scrabble with those who
were brave enough to tackle her competitive nature. Family
was very important to Eunice as she readily travelled to many
parts of the country to assist them in their time of need and for
family celebrations.
Funeral service was held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, November
30, 2013 at the Covenant Church in Minnedosa, of which she
was a member, with burial at a later date at the Immanuel
Lutheran Cemetery, Clanwilliam.
THINK
Of stepping on shore and fnding it Heaven,
Of taking hold of a hand and fnding it Gods hand,
Of breathing a new air and fnding it celestial air,
Of feeling invigorated and fnding it immortality.
Of passing from storm and tempest to an unknown calm,
Of waking up and fnding it HOME!

MCNA PROVINCE
WIDE CLASSIFIEDS
By ELMER KASKIW
L
ast week it was men-
tioned that with a
return to stronger cattle
prices and continued
proftability in the grain
and oilseed sector there
is some renewed interest
in investing in the beef in-
dustry both as a tax man-
agement strategy and as
a straight forward invest-
ment. Since most investors
do not have access to infra-
structure and labour much
of this investment occurs
through various cattle
lease agreements.
Most cattle lease
agreements have historic-
ally been calf share agree-
ments and have typically
broken down during the
lows of the cattle cycle.
Usually during this phase
returns from the calf are
not suf cient to cover the
cash operating expenses
of the cow while the owner
still receives their percent
share of the calf. Tis dis-
parity is not sustainable
and eventually leads to a
breakdown of the agree-
ment. One alternative has
been an annual straight
cash lease since the lease
amount for the cow could
be negotiated annually to
refect the anticipated re-
turns from the calf much
the same way as land rent-
als fuctuate with the re-
turns from grains and oil-
seeds. Te disadvantage
to the straight cash lease
is that it does not have the
ability to adapt to the ex-
treme volatility that can
occur in livestock prices
and expenses due to un-
foreseen external events.
Tis can leave the owner
or the operator exposed to
huge losses in unforeseen
expenses or potential re-
turns on investment. Tese
short comings in the share
and cash agreements have
led to the development
of the fexible cash lease
which tries to address
the necessity of covering
operating expenses and
the volatility of the market
place for both the owner
and operator.
Te fexible cash lease
is similar to a calf share
lease agreement since calf
revenues are shared based
on contributions to cost of
production. Under a fex-
ible cash lease agreement
the calf sale revenues are
frst used to cover cash
operating expenses which
is typically100% the re-
sponsibility of operator.
Tis requires an under-
standing and agreement
into how the cattle will be
wintered, calved and pas-
tured and will typically
be capped at a pre-de-
termined level. Remain-
ing revenues are then ap-
plied to fxed costs such as
depreciation on buildings,
equipment and herd re-
placement and split 70% to
the operator and the 30%
to the owner. Remaining
revenues are then applied
to the opportunity costs
and are paid out 90% to
the owner and 10% to the
operator. Surplus revenues
beyond this point are then
divided equally between
owner and operator.
Although this type of
agreement appears to be
more complicated it does
provide a means whereby
a lease agreement can
survive the lows in the
cattle cycle. Operators are
guaranteed their operat-
ing costs will be covered
frst, followed by fxed and
opportunity costs. In ex-
change for this added pro-
duction and market risk
the owner receives a high-
er percentage split of any
excess during the upside
of the cattle cycle. Owners
would typically only enter
such an agreement if they
have a high degree of con-
fdence in the operators
management so that dur-
ing the low of the cattle
cycle there would be suf-
fcient revenue to at least
cover all operating and
fxed costs. As with most
investments it is often
better to put cattle out on
shares when bred cows are
low and then sell them of
when prices become prof-
itable allowing one to cap-
ture the capital gain in the
cows.
Some other points
that often get over looked
in beef lease agreements
include: death loss, heifer
development, open cows,
bull responsibility, and
agreement termination.
Death loss of 1% in the cow
herd is considered normal
and is typically absorbed
by the owner; rates of 2-4%
would be shared equally.
Calf death rates of 5-10%
are considered normal
and are split equally with
percentages above 10% be-
ing absorbed by the oper-
ator. Heifer development
should be done outside the
agreement either by a 3rd
party or through a separ-
ate contractual agreement.
Open cows should be re-
moved at preg-check or al-
ternatively a separate feed-
ing agreement would be
put in place. Breeding costs
are typically absorbed by
the operator for cow num-
bers in the 5-10 range after
which point additional
bull power would be cost
shared with the owner.
Lease termination should
be pre-determined and is
often easiest at weaning
and preg-checking where
additional feeding costs
can be minimized and rev-
enues are maximized for
both parties.

Attention Farmers!
Many of our farming members will soon be receiving a request from us to complete an
Agripac to enable us to complete their annual line of credit review. We ask that you
complete the net worth statement as of December 31 and bring in a copy of your 2013
income tax return once it is completed.
If you are running the Microsoft Excel program and are connected to the internet you can
download a computerized version of the Agripac that will save you countless hours when
completing this statement. This program is available on the Manitoba Agriculture, Food
and Rural Initiatives web page and is called Farmplan-Financial and Production Software.
http://www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture/business-and-economics/fnancial-management/
farm-software-and-worksheets.html#farmplan
You will have a permanent record on your computer of your fnancial statement that is
quickly and simply updated or changed year after year.
If you have any questions in regard to completing the Agripac or using the computer
software, Farmplan, contact Lori, Terry or Harvey.
