Blood Donors
Its In You To Give
By JENNIFER PAIGE
innedosa has been a regular stop in the Canadian Blood Services mobile donation clinics.
Last year, five clinics were held at the Minnedosa
Community Conference Centre.
Over the course of the fi
ve clinics, 265 donors
walked through the doors and were able to donate
209 units of blood.
This is in contrast to 2013, where over five
clinics, we saw 337 donors attend and collected
275 units of blood, commented Mike Choi, Event
Co-ordinator with Donor Relations with Canadian
Blood Services.
Choi notes that the decline is attributed to
the rise in no-show appointments. When a donor
doesnt call to cancel their appointment, we do not
have an opportunity to open up that space to another donor who may want to donate.
This fall the Canadian Blood Services inventory
plunged to the lowest levels since 2008 due to similar no-show situations across the country.
That being said, any amount of blood donation
is beneficial. With the units collected in Minnedosa
in 2014, a cancer patient, who may use up to five
units weekly, could receive treatment for nearly 10
months, continued Choi.
Every year, Blood Services requires approximately 85,000 new donors across Canada to keep up
with patient needs.
In 2015, we hope to rise back up and collect
close to 300 units in Minnedosa. With our existing donor base aging, some of our most dedicated,
long-time donors may come to rely on blood system
themselves and this is where we hope our new donors can take the reins.
Any individual 17 to 71 can donate once every
56 days. The fi rst blood clinic of 2015 will be held on
Tuesday, January 20th at the Minnedosa Community Conference Centre.
For more information call 1-888-2-DONATE.

Christmas Day Dinner
Committee
hristmas
Day
in
Minnedosa is always
December 25th and for
the past fi ve years it has
also been the home of a
special Christmas Day
Dinner.
Each fall, a group of
Minnedosans start plan-
ning for the big day and

this years event turned
out bigger and better than
ever. Even the weather cooperated this year! It takes
more than just the committee to put something
like this on each year.
The Town was gracious in
granting us the use of the
hall. The newly formed
municipality kept an old
tradition by helping fund
the Dinner. Several local

businesses and service
groups and individuals
ensured our chequing account was up to the task.
It takes Volunteers to tie
it all together and prepare
and serve the feast.
We had just the right
amount of people sharing their talents and stories on Christmas Eve as
they prepared the food
and the hall. On Christmas Day we had a terrific

team come out to prepare,
serve and clean up! Anita
sure knows how to make a
feast and its not scientifically proven but we think
the calories consumed on
Christmas Day dont actually count.
Th e entryway of the
hall was decorated like a
winter wonderland with
Greeters putting everyone
in the Christmas spirit.
Pointsettias and gifts were
handed out to many that
day. Santas last stop of
the season is always one
of his most enjoyable. He
brings his whole family.
Enjoyment was obvious
by the amount of good
conversations and miles
of smiles that were seen
around the hall for the entire event.
Barb and Barry led the
group in songs of the season and some reflections
on Christmas.
Woodman the Butler was buzzing around greeting and
serving and even became
Woodman the Chauffeur
as he was able to drive
several guests home after
the event. He heard from
many that they were already looking forward to
doing this again in 2015.
With the great support of the community the
Dinner committee once
again had surplus funds.
We will be forwarding

Thank you to the Community for helping make Christmas
Day a wonderful day for so many through the Dinner
served at the Hall. Thanks so much to The Town,
Municipality, Service Groups and individuals who helped
fund the event. Special thanks to the many volunteers
including Santa and his family, that came out before,
during and after the Dinner to make things run smoothly.
Thank you All for making Smiles and Memories!

Deadline for Festival

Entry Approaching
By JENNIFER PAIGE
he Rolling River Festival of the Arts deadline for

entries is quickly approaching for the 2015 festival.
This festival certainly fosters the growth of art
in our community and that is something that deserves community encouragement and support. It
gives anyone who is interested an appreciative and
supportive audience to perform for, commented
Louise Uhryniuk, co-chair of the RRFA executive
committee.
This years festival will be held in Minnedosa
from March 16th to the 20th with the entry deadline
being January 14th.
The RRFA is affi liated with the association of
Manitoba Arts Festivals and is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that provides a venue for
student performance and adjudication in piano,
speech arts, band, instrumental, vocal, choral and
dance.
Participants are encouraged to get up and
perform to the best of their ability, build their performance skills and develop confidence in front of
others. I know that my daughter has gained tremendous skills from her involvement in the arts over the
years and looking at the big picture, having confident performance skills is extremely valuable, continued Uhryniuk.
This year the RRFA executive committee is hoping to increase participation in the speech arts category.
We have been putting emphasis on the speech
category as we hope to regain some participation as
it has seemed to diminish in recent years. I am not
too sure what has lead to the drop in participation
but I would imagine it has something to do with less
involvement from the schools. There is such a high
demand on teachers that many of the extra or optional events they used to involve their students in,
just does not happen anymore.
Entry for participation in the event involves a
small entry fee but no age or skill limitations. Entry forms can be found on the Discover Minnedosa
website, at any Rolling River School Division school,
Minnedosa Pharmacy, Libraries in Minnedosa, Rivers and Rapid City.
This years adjudicators include Arlene Baschuk
for piano, Sarah Hall for vocal/choral/musical theatre and speech arts, and Annette Hay for band/
instruments and strings. The dance adjudicator has
yet to be determined.
Getting up and presenting or performing in
front of others is a difficult skill to learn but is greatly
beneficial later in life. This is an opportunity to practice this skill and build confidence, added Uhryniuk.
Feds Invests $39 Million for RMNP Improvements

SUBMITTED
n December 19th,
Robert
Sopuck,
Member of Parliament
for DauphinSwan River
Marquette, on behalf of
the Honourable Leona
Aglukkaq, Minister of the
Environment and Minister responsible for Parks
Canada, announced substantial investments in
Riding Mountain National
Park designed to renew

infrastructure and support
Canadas National Conservation Plan (NCP).
Sopuck
announced
more than $39 million in
investments to support a
number of infrastructure
improvements in Riding
Mountain National Park.
$36.4 million will be invested over a five year period for the resurfacing of
Highway #10 through the
park. Th is will improve

safety for visitors, enhance
tourism for local and regional communities and
businesses and promote
wildlife viewing and sightseeing along one of Manitobas most scenic highways. Highway #10 was
built in the 1930s and was
seen as a major improvement for both visitors and
the business community,
as the driving distance be-
tween Dauphin and Brandon was shortened by 75

km.
An additional $2.7
million will be plugged
into the Wasagaming
Campground to expand
the oTENTik rental facilities, add water and electrical utility services to approximately 200 sites and
improve washroom buildings and picnic shelters
for an improved visitor

Corrected Price
We have been informed that the numbers published

in the December 19th edition regarding the purchase of
the zamboni were not correct. The total price of the machine (including tax) was $16,392.91. The minor hockey
board put in $5,000, the commercial league put in $4,000
and the remainder came from the Towns Arena Reserve.
Our apologies for this mix up.
Election date change
Manitoba voters were supposed to be going to the

polls this coming October to elect our next term of provincial leaders and I think most were anxious to do so!
However, it has been announced that the date of Manitobas next provincial election has been pushed back to
April 19th, 2016. The apparent reason for this delay is to
eliminate any overlap between provincial and federal
elections. Guess we are just going to have to wait a little
longer for any possible change in provincial leadership.
Change, Change, Change.
The new year seems to be starting with a lot of employment opportunities up for grabs here in Minnedosa.
Yellowhead Employment Regional Skills and Services is
looking for an Employment Service Co-ordinator, The
Community Development Corporation is looking for an
Economic Development Officer, Th
e Recreation Commission is looking for a Rec Director and here at Ye Old Trib
we are regrettably looking for a new reporter/photographer. I am sure there are numerous other positions available as well so there does not seem to be any shortage of
employment opportunities available here in our valley.

TRUSTED CONNECTED TARGETED
Jets Hockey Ticket Scam

Cops Corner
By
Cst. JUSTIN
HUDDLE
ello, and welcome

back to the Cops Corner. Happy New Year to you
all and I hope 2015 brings
you each more health and
happiness. Officers continued to work through the
holidays, responding to
54 calls for service. These
ranged from impaired
drivers, fraud, breach of
peace, mental health, animal calls, threats, traffic

collisions, speeders, just to
name a few.
Recently, people have
been scammed while
trying to buy the highly
sought after Winnipeg Jets
Tickets. People are paying
over $300 for tickets, and
electronically transferring
people money, then the

tickets never arrive. If you
are not dealing through
sites like Ticketmaster,
StubHub, or other trustworthy companies, it is
not a great idea to transfer
money to people without
being able to see the tickets in person. When dealing with individuals selling
tickets you run the risk of
being scammed. People
make a living by scamming
others these days, its a sad
world at times. Its always
good to deal with people
face to face, or go through
trustworthy sites. In certain circumstances it can
be difficult for police to
track down the individuals

responsible.
A local 19-year-old
male was caught right in
Minnedosa Town Limits for speeding. He was
stopped for going 80km/
hr in a 50km/hr zone on
9th Avenue S.W. He was
handed a ticket worth
$442.75. Due to the high
amount of walking traffic on this road, as well as
deer, it is wise to go the
speed limit or even slower.
Hopefully a lesson was
learned.
Have a great start to
2015 and we will see you
next time in the Cops
Corner.

Sopuck and Harper Get a Lump of Coal

Dear Editor,
take issue with M.P. Sopuck in a letter and an

article of December 19th,
2014 in the South Mountain Press and other papers
where he claims our Canadian Armed Forces... are
instrumental in protecting us from the violence of
terrible regimes... and to
please keep them in your
prayers.... Wait a minute.
Hold on. Just where exactly
are these terrible people
attacking our coastlines
or bombing out cities?

Sopuck and even Prime
Minister Harper are infl aming fear where none
is deserved. Why is this
Conservative M.P. speaking fear of some boogyman, then having the gall
to have us please address
our military in our prayers.
Even the P.M., in his bland
Christmas message, asked
us to off er prayers to our
military. Hold on, again.
Since when is the state
being paid by taxpayers
to off er up religion? Or

Sopuck deserve from Canadian taxpayers what
they deserve this season - a
lump of coal. A small one.
I hope Canadians see
how shallow this government is. Voting in any other party would be a proper
end to Conservatives mistakes and manipulations
in Ottawa.
n Robert Sopucks recent Letter to the Editor, this is

what he said, Farmers, hunters and sport shooters
shouldnt be treated like criminals just for owning a gun.
There is absolutely no truth to Sopucks statement.
The lack of action by the Harper government does exactly
the opposite. Under Harper all gun owners in Canada
are potential criminals in waiting. Harper has broken his
promise many times to repeal C-68. Other than the long
gun registry, C-68 is intact.
Harper refuses to decriminalize the possession of
firearms. Under section 91 and 92 of the Criminal Code,
possession of a firearm without a valid PAL will land you
in court, paying a fine, or end up in jail, as well as losing
all your firearms. If this happens you will have a criminal
record and deemed a criminal. This is the truth.
If Harper really cared about gunowners, he would
amend section 91 and 92, decriminalize possession of a
firearm without a valid PAL from a felon to a misdemeanour, with a reasonable grace period to renew the possession licence.
Instead of working to decriminalize the possession
of firearms, Robert Sopuck parrots the Harper untruths.
When will this MP start telling the truth about
gun ownership in Canada.
Yours sincerely,
Inky Mark,
Dauphin, MB

fter travelling to Winnipeg for a tournament,

Minnedosas U15 indoor girls soccer team brought
home a little post-Christmas gold.
Thirteen players, team manager Genelle Bilcowski
and coaches, Barry Dowsett and Chris Yuen travelled to
the University of Manitoba to participate in an indoor
soccer tournament on December 27th to 29th.
Undefeated in the initial round robin, Minnedosa
proceeded to the finals with a 3-0 record.
Minnedosa met the Corydon Comets in the fi nal,
claiming the gold medal with a dominate 4-0 win.
In the fi
nal game the girls scored two quick goals,
which really motivated them and took the wind out of the
other team for sure, commented Dowsett.
The girls began practicing together every Wednesday
at the beginning of November. They will return to Winnipeg on February 13th to 16th where they will be broken
into two teams for a 6 vs. 6 tournament.

2015 is starting out to

be a busy year! However,
I would like to start by reflecting on 2014.
Minnedosa and District Services to Seniors
has been through some
positive growing steps. In
late June, our office was
relocated to the 50+ Activity Centre at 31 Main
Street S. Th is has been
very positive. Our door is
open five days a week and
I have had the pleasure
of helping and meeting
many seniors. Jan Macey
has joined me in the office
on a casual basis and we
look forward to providing
resources and assistance
to seniors in Minnedosa
and area.
Victoria Lifeline continues to be a well-used
resource. Our client list
sits at an average of sixty
clients per month. Lifeline
is so important and offers
peace of mind not only
to the subscriber but also
to family members who
care about the safety of

their senior friend or family member. The service is
available in Minnedosa,
R.M. of Minto-Odanah
and area. As long as you
have MTS service to your
home, Lifeline may be installed. At this time, unfortunately, Lifeline cannot be installed with only
cell phone service. If you
are interested in Lifeline,
please call our office or
stop in for information.
Last fall I organized
the Be A Santa To A Senior
program and it was a huge
success. This program has
operated in Winnipeg for
a few years and bringing it
to Minnedosa was the first
time the program has operated outside of the city.
Th e generosity of those
who came and chose an
ornament was wonderful. Seeing the reactions
of those who received the
gifts, was beyond words.
The program will be back
in the fall of 2015!
Seniors have gathered at the 50+ Centre to
enjoy a time of friend-

slow them down as they
popped in an empty net

after Winnipegosis scored

The Dog River Howlers are an invitational

qualities of leadership,

From December

Workman travelled with
the Howlers to Medellin,
Colombia for the second
Howlers tour.
Thirty-two U-18 players, 12 women and 20
men, along with 22 coaches, management and parents travelled to Colombia to play against local
teams, take in the culture
and spend some time giving back to the local community.
Some really mean-

made when we got to
spend time with the local children in the barrios.Giving outthe gear that
we collected and brought

Sharing adventures with
the other Howlers around
our neighbourhood and
on our various excursions
will stay with me forever,
added Workman.
Workman is also slated to play in a three-day
international sevens rugby tournament that will
take place in Las Vegas,

Reduce Food Waste to Save Money in 2015

Cooking With
CHEF DEZ
ccording to the American Heritage Dictionary the phrase waste not,

want not was first recorded in 1772, but was derived from an earlier version: willful waste makes
woeful want recorded in

1576. In todays world of
credit cards, debit cards,
and lines of credit, these
terms take on a whole
new urgency as bills roll in
from our holiday spend-
PUBLIC NOTICE
Effective January 1st, 2015, the R. M. of Blanshard, the R. M. of Saskatchewan,
and the Town of Rapid City will be amalgamated to form the new:
ing sprees. One of the most

easily influenced home expenses is our food budgets
and a few tips in reducing
food waste, and thus saving money, is most appropriate in a January food
column.
What if I told you that
you could have free vegetable broth? Currently
whenever you work with
vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, etc.), the end
trimmings are going into
the compost, garburator
or garbage. Dedicate a
large food storage bag in
the freezer for these end
cuts and peelings instead,
and keep adding to this fro-
zen mix until the bag is full.

Empty the contents into a
large pot, cover with cold
water to the top of the vegetables, bring to a boil, and
then turn the heat to low
and simmer for one hour
uncovered. Strain and
season to taste with salt
and pepper and you have
vegetable stock from ingredients that would have
previously been discarded.
A great addition to this bag
would be fresh herb stems.
There is a ton of fl avour in
the inedible woody stems
that will create complexity
in your homemade vegetable stock.

scratch with your broth, or

pour it into ice cube trays
and create a second freezer bag of cubed stock: this
is perfect when you need a
small amount of broth to
make or finish a sauce.
The rinds from hard
cheeses also tend to see
the garbage bin as their
demise, but they can,
however, bring extra essence to soups. For example, whenever making
Minestrone (Italian vegetable soup) we always toss
a chunk of parmesan rind
into the broth. At the end
of the cooking process,
the rind is simply removed
and discarded.
Leftover bacon fat,
although not particularly
healthy, can also be put to
use in the kitchen. Moderation of this integrated
into your diet needs to
be practiced here, but
on occasion a warm bacon dressing on spinach
greens is amazingly delicious. Add the following
to the rendered bacon fat
from a half pound (227g)

of bacon, but make sure
that the bacon fat is not
too hot or the fat will splatter when you add these ingredients: 3 tablespoons
apple cider vinegar, 1 to
2 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 teaspoons Dijon or
grainy mustard, one half
teaspoon dried thyme
leaves, and a sprinkle of
fresh cracked pepper.
Heat over medium heat,
while stirring together,
until very warm, and then
serve immediately.
Basically what I want
you to become is a conscientious cook. Pay attention to everything that
is being discarded in the
kitchen and attempt to
fi nd new and innovative
uses for them. The internet makes a great resource
when investigating ideas
and answers any questions you may have about
food safety, which also
needs to be emphasized
here. Happy new year to
you... and happy cooking!

Although much of the

the greater potential may
very well be in its use in
Parkland regions. The
Manitoba Pulse Growers
Association is now funding research into various
tillage types including
strip tillage so stay tuned
for some results going into

depths of one to one-anda-half inches saw soil temperatures reach -15 degrees Celsius earlier this
week. These temperatures
represented new lows for
this winter but are still
above levels which would
cause significant injury
to well established winter
wheat crops. These new
low temperatures are fortunately also coinciding
with the period in which
most winter cereals are
experiencing their maximum cold hardiness.
Most winter wheat
plants for example would
require soil temperatures
in the -18 to -22 degrees
Celsius range before we
would begin to see some
signifi cant plant mortality. Hopefully recent snow
falls will further help insulate soil temperatures
from any future severe
cold events.

OBITUARIES
MARION DIACHINSKY
SALER, SALLY ANN (nee Somerville)
DECEMBER 9TH, 1923

DECEMBER 13TH, 2014
MARCH 28TH, 1943

- DECEMBER 26TH, 2014
Marion Diachinsky of Erickson and formerly of Sandy Lake passed away at the Erickson
Personal Care Home at the age of 91 years.
Marion was the second oldest child of William and Pauline Gregorash in Mossy River,
Manitoba. Her older brother Jack died in infancy, and her three younger siblings, Helen, Willis
and Frank have all predeceased her. Marion spent much of her childhood caring for her younger
siblings and helping her parents on the farm. She took her responsibilities very seriously then,
and continued to do so throughout her whole life. Marion spent her life working very hard, even
as a young girl. In her early teens, she went to work on a farm in southern Manitoba, caring for
the children and serving as the kitchen helper. She always worked at one job or another, and
spent many years working in Neepawa, rooming with her cousin Mary. She worked as a waitress
in a Chinese restaurant and then as a clerk at the bus depot in Neepawa. She also worked at
several businesses in Sandy Lake, before marrying Harry Diachinsky on February 8th, 1964.
Her marriage to Harry was the beginning of the happiest years of Marions life. Harry was her
rock and together they worked hard to make the Diachinsky farm a success. Marion was an avid
gardener, even after she and Harry retired. Their lovely flower garden in Sandy Lake won several
awards from the Communities in Bloom Association, and many friends and neighbours shared
in the bounty from their vegetable gardens.
The funeral service was held on Monday, December 22nd, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. at the Holy Ghost
Ukrainian Catholic Church, Sandy Lake. Prayers were said at the church Sunday evening at 7:00
p.m. Interment followed in the parish cemetery. Father Emil Kardasinec officiated.
Pallbearers were Raymond Zachary, Rick Richard, Peter Dmytriw, Leonard Gregorash, Tim
Spaller and Murray Zuk. Crossbearers were Caitlynn Dmytriw and Dylan Dmytriw. The eulogy
was given by Marions niece Donna Chaytors.
Raes Funeral Service of Shoal Lake and Erickson were in care of the arrangements.
It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our dear Wife, cherished Mother
and Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and friend. Sally passed away at the Douglas Memorial Hospital.
Daughter of Ambrose and Josephine Somerville, she was born in Chippawa, Ontario. She
completed her RN training at St. Marys School of Nursing in Kitchener and worked as a nurse
in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Sally loved her family dearly and cherished family gettogethers and her time with her Grandchildren.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 47 years Emil Saler; her children Trevor (Kari),
Tammy (Darcy) and Darren (Vicki); brothers Rick (Pam), Randy (Nancy) and Mike (Donna);
sister Judy (John); as well her much loved grandchildren Eric, Shane, Brooklyn and Kasia Saler,
and many nieces and nephews.
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation for the care and support that Saint
Elizabeth provided for both Sally and family over the past few months, as well as Dr. Scher and
staff at Douglas Memorial Hospital
Arrangements entrusted to Williams Funeral Services 722 Ridge Rd. North, Ridgeway, Ontario.
A memorial service will be celebrated at St. Josephs Catholic Church in Snyder at a later date.
For those who wish, donations may be made to Douglas Memorial Hospital palliative care unit.
WALTER WASYLENKO
MAY 28TH, 1933
DECEMBER 19TH, 2014
Peacefully, Walter Wasylenko passed away at the age of 81
years. He was predeceased by his wife Lesia (Kowal), parents
Fred and Annie Wasylenko, brother Steve, brother-in-law Mel
Borody and his dogs and best friends, King, Prince and Benny.
He is survived by his sister Audrey Borody. Left to cherish his
memory is his son Darrell, daughter Debbie (Dennis), son
Dwayne (Tricia) and grandchildren Curtis, Pamela (Graham),
Marisa, Kayanna, Amelia and great grandchild Gwyneth.
Walter was born and raised on the family farm in Sandy Lake, MB. He
began helping with the farming at an early age but decided to venture
beyond and was employed with Canadian Pacific Railway as a switchman,
a salesman for Rogers Fruit and was assigned produce manager for Canada Safeway. However,
he had to decline the position and return to the farm as his father took ill. Walter eventually
took over the family farm, growing cereal crops and raising cattle. Walter married Lesia Kowal on
August 7th, 1958. They had three children Darrell, Debbie and Dwayne. Tragically, on January
31st, 1969, Lesia lost her life in an automobile accident. Walter then took on the responsibility of
full time farming and raising three young children. Along with farming and raising the children
he also served on the Local Farm Union, Board of Directors of Sandy Lake Co-op and was a school
trustee for Rolling River School Division from 1973 1983. Walter continued to farm as years
went by and the children moved away. Dwayne returned to help with the farming and continued
to help as Walters health declined. Education and family experiences were important to Walter.
He took the family to Expo in Montreal, Banff, Alberta and many camping stops throughout the
states on the journey to Disney Land, California. Walter had a love for animals. The farm yard
always had cats and dogs. His cattle were thought of as family. It was a difficult time for him when
he realized he could no longer oversee his large herd and needed to sell. Over the years his dogs
were his constant companions. They enjoyed many trips to Clear Lake where they were treated
to an ice cream cone. Walter enjoyed sitting in the comfort of his armchair, t.v. on and his dog
lying next to him. Those who truly knew Walter, knew there was a kind, generous heart under that
rough exterior. He had a keen sense of humour and enjoyed teasing everyone he met.
The funeral service was held on Tuesday, December 30th, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Michaels
Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Sandy Lake, with interment following in the Sandy Lake Municipal
Cemetery. Prayers were said from the church Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. Father Michael
Skrumeda officiated. Pallbearers were: Dennis Spitula, Graham Fediuk, Emil Kowal, Walter
Spitula, John Kopytko and Kevin Fiarchuk. Cross bearer was Orest Shindruk.
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, a memorial gift may be made to Heart and Stoke Foundation
of Manitoba or Manitoba Lung Association.
Raes Funeral Service of Shoal Lake and Erickson were in care of the arrangements.
