Cougars alone in seventh place by Grant Moffatt The Cougars split a pair of road games on the weekend dropping a 4-1 decision in Eastman on Saturday night before taking over sole possession of seventh with a wild 6-5 win over the Interlake Lightning on Sunday afternoon in Teulon. The Cougars opened the scoring in Eastman when Tristen Cross fired a shot from the point with the man advantage at 3:12 of the first period from McCullough Park and Garrett Sambrook. The Selects tied the game five minutes later when they forced a turnover deep in the Cougars’ end. The teams were tied at one after the first. The second period saw the Selects outshoot the Cougars 15-2 and came away with one goal when Will Middleton scored at 3:25. The Cougars hung on for dear life and had a couple of chances to tie the game but were turned away on two glories scoring chances. The third period saw the Selects finally put the game away when Middleton scored his second of the game on the power play when he banged a loose puck under Brady Gordon with just over two minutes left in the period. The Selects put the game away with an empty net goal with 31 ticks left in the game. Brady Gordon faced 37 shots for his first loss in four games. The Cougars stayed with the high powered Selects but did not get rewarded when they had the opportunity. Sunday afternoon saw the Cougars start the day with bus problems but earned the win in their 31st game to improve their record to 14-15-2 for 30 points, a point back of Brandon and just ahead of Kenora and Parkland for the eighth and final playoff spot. Tanner Gaudry scored his first goal of the year at 15:21 of the third from Dawson Waddell and Zach Wytinck when he fired the biscuit home for the win after the Lightning had tied the game at eight minutes minutes into the period. The first period saw four powerplay goals. The Lightning struck first at 7:32. Carson Boyechko hooked up with McCullough Park and Ben Hilhorst four minutes later before the Lightning scored two power play markers seven seconds apart with 20 seconds left in the period. The second period saw McCullough Park open the scoring from Tristen Cross in the second minute. Dawson Waddell tied the score four minutes later from Quin Hobbs. Josh Wiens then gave the Cougars the lead when he hooked up with Grady Hobbs and Jared McCorrister at 7:36. Carson Boyechko scored his second of the game and 12th of the year from

Dexter Dalgleish for the 5 to 4 lead after the second. The Cougars battled the rest of the way with the Tanner Gaudry finally putting the Lightning away. Rylan Rommeleare returned to the net and earned the win with 26 saves. The Cougars went into the weekend with John
Patmore, Brian Harris, and Jared Janke on the sidelines. Michael Tilbury left the Eastman game after a lower body injury. The Cougars play host to Norman and the Winnipeg Wild Saturday and Sunday and play host to Pembina Valley the following Wednesday.
Sexton receives CD Builder Award Continued from page 1 Sexton was a member of the TMCD Board that commenced and completed the first provincially approved Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP) for the East Souris River Watershed. A plan that led to other IWMPs being initiated by other Conservation District’s that set a course for future conservation programming. He was a dedicated member and supporter of the Conservation District program. He sat on the Elgin Creek - Whitewater Lake Sub-District from 1992-2014 as vice-chair and chairperson of Sub-District. He was also the Board vice-chairperson from 2012-2014 and Board chairperson for eight years from 20042012. Richard has also participated in various TMCD committees such as personnel and equipment. During his time on the Board he volunteered for many Provincial committees such as the Boundary Realignment Committee, Funding Formula Committee and the Surface Water Strategy Committee. During his eight years as Board chairperson for the TMCD he also acted as the TMCD representative on the MCDA Board. Sexton was also a Councillor with the Municipality of Winchester from 1992-1998 and 2006-2014. On Council he sat on various committees such as the Library, Swimming Pool, Theatre, Fire Department, Medical Housing, Public Works, Finance and Personnel. Sexton is a strong supporter of Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and of the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation (MHHC) programs. The TMCD Board was the first district to start a Conservation Agreement program with MHHC and DUCs. Sexton believed in the value of the Conservation District program and was proactive in lobbying for more funding for the program. Rick Andrews, DUC commented, “Richard is a staunch advocate in the protection and enhancement of TMCD’s watersheds. He was instrumental in the promotion and implementation of a DUC/TMCD partnership in the delivery of our habitat retention programs within the TMCD. For over a decade now this partnership has resulted in the securement and restora-
tion of valuable habitat in the District. Richard was a leader in promoting the concept of sound water management and was never afraid to speak up and take a stand for wetland protection.” Rhonda McDougal, former Director of Watershed Planning and Programs with Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship commented, “Richard Sexton is to be admired for his many years of hard work and heartfelt passion for the CD Program. When I first joined government in 2006 and became the Director responsible for the CD Program, Richard was one of the leaders on the MCDA Board who went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He made a special effort to explain the background and nuances of many of the issues and challenges that were part of CD business at that time, which was invaluable to me in my new role. One of the things that I have always valued and appreciated about Richard is that he speaks his mind, even when the subject is a difficult or contentious one. In that way, I always knew where Richard stood on the issues. We didn’t always see eye to eye, but with Richard, that was okay we were still able to move forward and to work together to accomplish great things. Richard’s influence with his Board and staff helped to foster a strong positive working relationship with provincial staff. His leadership and support has allowed some great collaborative projects to be accomplished over the years.” When asked what stood out the most for him during his time with the Conservation District Richard replied, “The people - the people you meet from all over the Province that I’d never had the opportunity to meet before if I hadn’t been involved in the program. Most that I wouldn’t have met on Council.” At a young age, Sexton’s grandfather told him - “If you look after the farm, it will look after you.” As a kid it took him a while to understand his grandfather’s meaning but later he realized it meant looking after the soil, the water and the wildlife and in doing that they will look after you. Throughout his life he has tried to live by his grandfather’s words. Congratulations Richard on receiving the CD Builder Award.

Canola Performance Trial results for 2015 now online submitted by Canola Council of Canada January 11, 2016 - Results are in for the 2015 Canola Performance Trials (CPT). Data from the science-based, third-party variety evaluations have been uploaded to the online comparison tool at www.canolaperformancetrials.ca. A summary booklet is also available for download at the site. The online tool includes interactive maps and the ability to refine searches by season zone, herbicide tolerance (HT) system, yield, days to maturity, lodging and height. The tool also has results from each of the past five years, which allows for important comparison across different growing conditions. “By structuring the trials with replicated small plot trials and numerous sites for field scale trials, as well as strict adherence to protocols and statistical analysis, CPTs provide growers with a fair third-party assessment of variety performance,” says Nicole Philp, CCC agronomy specialist and CPT co-lead. “Growers want this type of information when making variety decisions, which is why CPT results are such an important resource for them.” The three Prairie canola grower groups -the Alberta Canola Producers Commission, the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission (SaskCanola) and the Manitoba Canola Growers Association - provide funding for
the CPT program. The B.C. Grain Producers Association conducted trials in the Peace as their means of participation. The Canola Council of Canada delivers the CPT program. Line companies, independent retailers and seed companies, including Bayer CropScience, BrettYoung, Canterra Seeds, Cargill, CPS Canada/Proven Seed, DL Seeds and Syngenta participated in the 2015 trials. Haplotech, led by Dr. Rale Gjuric, coordinated the trials under the guidance of a governance committee that oversees approval of varieties, protocol design, data collection, analysis and reporting, and financial management. The CPT program includes both small plot and large field scale trials. Results for 2015 are based on 29 small plot trials and 33 field scale trials across the Prairies. In addition, to add more value to the CPTs, a pilot project was conducted this year in which varieties were both swathed and straight cut at the same locations for comparison. The Canola Council of Canada is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Keep it Coming 2025 is the strategic plan to ensure the canola industry’s continued growth, demand, stability and success - achieving 52 bushels per acre to meet global market demand of 26 million metric tonnes by the year 2025.
SAFE working procedures vital during cold winter months Deep freeze conditions in Manitoba mean that those working outside are especially vulnerable to cold stress. SAFE Work Manitoba encourages employers and workers to prepare for work in extreme cold weather conditions in order to prevent cold stress. Extreme cold is as serious as any other health risk in the workplace. Cold stress is the body’s inability to control its internal temperature. It can result in serious illness or death. Cold temperatures, high or cold wind, immersion in low temperature water, physical exertion, and improper or inadequate clothing are some factors that put you at risk. Frostbite occurs when skin tissue freezes. Frostbitten skin may produce a prickling or burning sensation, followed by numbness. In serious cases frostbite can lead to tissue damage, scarring, and even amputation. Hypothermia is another result of cold stress. Hypothermia occurs when core body temperature drops below 35˚C. Symptoms of hypothermia follow a progression. A sensation of cold is followed by pain, numbness, muscle weakness, confusion, drowsiness, coma, death. Preventing cold stress • Assess the weather conditions
before heading out to the worksite and monitor yourself and your coworkers once there. • Wear layered, dry and insulated clothing with a windproof and waterproof outer shell. • Take warm up breaks in heated shelters. When the temperature is -7˚C or lower, these shelters should be available nearby. • Stay hydrated with warm, sweet drinks. • Keep your body moving, but limit heavy work to avoid perspiration. If someone you work with is suffering from cold stress, move the worker to a warm area and encourage continuous body movement. Replace wet clothes with dry clothes/ blankets, and provide warm, (not hot) sweet drinks. If you think someone is experiencing hypothermia or extreme frostbite, call 911 immediately. SAFE Work Manitoba is the unified prevention organization responsible for promotion and delivery of services related to workplace injury and illness prevention. SAFE: Spot the hazard. Assess the risk. Find a safer way. Everyday. For more information refer to the Thermal Stress Guideline at safemanitoba.com.

Ads In Canada there are 112 daily newspapers and over 1,000-community newspapers representing a combined circulation of 54 million weekly.

Prior to that there was the Political Equality League, which campaigned tirelessly for the Liberal Party, which had promised the vote for women if elected. One of the highlights of their campaign was on January 18, 1914 when they presented a humorous play known as the Women’s Parliament or the Mock Parliament, in which women took the roles of power and men came asking for the vote, “Let Them Howl,” a play about Nellie Mc-
Clung and the Mock Parliament was first presented in Winnipeg on October 15, 2015. The first rural presentation will take place at the Manitou Opera House on January 29, 2016. CROSSROADS THIS WEEK Staycations are on the rise - Canadians looking to vacations closer to home as weak loonie increases travel costs. The weaker loonie and lower gas prices convinced Canadians to vacation closer to home in 2015 and this trend is expected to continue in 2016. • • • Pawsitive steps being taken by animal lover - Brandon citizen aiming to assist with First Nation’s pet problems. Aiming to get her pet care clinic rolling, a Brandon pet lover has her sights set on fixing the unwanted dog problem plaguing a number of First Nation communities in Westman. Since 2013, Farran Munn has been working hard to get he Pawsitive Communities Mobile Pet Care Program off the ground and into the rural communities including Waywayseecappo First Nation to offer a variety of vet services. The Pawsitive Communities project is a partnership between the Brandon Humane Society, the Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council and the Dakota Ojibway Police Service but it is mainly financed through Munn’s fundraising efforts and community donations. Whether they’re pets or strays most dogs on First Nations get to roam free and he unwanted puppies that come from their animal interactions form packs and can become dangerous to humans and animals. Unwanted dogs from elsewhere are also often abandoned on the land of indigenous people. Munn feels the spaying; neutering and vaccinating offered by the mobile clinic will make a huge difference in the health and number of dogs born on First Nations.

Odds & Ends by Judy Wells So we had a wintery blast this week! Seems about the right timing and it reminded me of the Napinka Mixed Bonspiel - a week long marathon, usually with about six events, great prizes, delicious homemade meals every night, -30° outside and out on the ice feeling like -50° with the wind-chill (the odd crack in the wall). Seriously, even though we were wearing ski pants to curl, it was the fun, hospitality and camaraderie that kept us coming back year after year. . .well that and the little lifesaving flasks that seemed to appear out of nowhere. If you survived the first half of the week, you often experienced the challenge of throwing the rocks with two feet in the hacks during a January thaw. Yep, the annual Napinka Mixed Bonspiel would have been the perfect venue for a “Survivor” series. • • • Congratulations to Richard Sexton who received the Manitoba Conservation District Builder Award at the MCDA Conference held December 8, 2015. Every year each Conservation District can nominate a person whose leadership and dedication has led to the growth and success of the Conservation District program. See article for more. • • • ‘Tis the season for various Tournament of Champion hockey tournaments (another time in which it is typically very cold). Congratulations to Nick Schoonbaert, goaltender with the Deloraine Atoms team. Nick won the Skills Competition at Elkhorn last weekend. Way to go! • • • Just a reminder. The deadline for Festival entries is Thursday, February 4. It’s only a few short weeks away so if you’ve been putting off planning your entries, now’s the time to forge ahead. You might wonder why the deadline is early February, more than two months before the actual Festival starts. Well, a great deal of organizing, scheduling, typing, recruiting volunteers and collaboration goes on. The various disciplines (Piano, Vocal, Speech, Dance, Visual Arts) gather their entries and start their own organizing. Once complete, the entries are typed up in the program format and checked and double-checked. This goes for all the disciplines. Meanwhile, although the adjudicators have been acquired months ago, the number of days they are needed is determined according to the entries. There are often adjustments made throughout the process. By the time the program has been typed, proof read a dozen times and changes made, it is a few weeks before festival time. All those weeks are needed to produce the festival program.

Solutions & Substitutions by Reena Nerbas Dear Reena, Have you any suggestions on how to prevent mildew from growing in closed mobile homes in Texas while we Snowbirds are back in Canada? Ours is closed up for 9 months every year. But very many had the same problem as it was so wet down here this year. The one logical idea I’ve heard is cat litter but I do wonder where that liquid would go. Thanks, Kathleen Dear Kathleen, Cat litter is effective for absorbing small quantities of moisture; however for wet climates this step is too small. Have you considered purchasing a thick polyethylene ground sheet to prevent moisture from rising?
Also, check to make sure that all cracks in the walls, floor and ceiling light fixtures are sealed. Is the insulation under the mobile home energy efficient? Some recommend leaving the rooftop vents open and installing specialized vent covers to allow air flow and prevent moisture from becoming trapped. • • • Dear Reena, I love to make homemade buns and they usually turn out light and fluffy but unfortunately some are big and some are small. Is there a trick to baking evenly shaped homemade buns? Thanks, Frankie Dear Frankie, Ensure that every bun uses equal amounts of dough by weighing each pre-baked bun on
a kitchen scale. The typical size for a dinner roll is 2 ounces per roll. Use the same rolling technique for every bun. • • • Readers Share Re: Deep frying turkey Dear Reena, Saw your recent response about deep frying a turkey. I thought it was important to note the importance of following all safety precautions when deep frying a turkey. And yes, it is totally worth the effort!

Manitobans will soon have access to a convenient, safe and secure all-in-one personal identification card (PIC), Health Minister Sharon Blady announced on January 11. “Response from the public was overwhelmingly positive,” Minister Blady said. “Not only do Manitobans embrace the convenience of carrying just one durable and tamper-proof card to access health care and other services, they also strongly believe the PIC will better protect against identify theft, forgery and fraud.” The PIC will integrate a person’s health identification number (PHIN) onto the back of driver’s licences and photo identification cards. The minister noted the PICs are expected to be issued starting as soon as the fall of 2017, and will be authenticated using industry-proven policies, procedures and practices currently in place at Manitoba Public Insurance. MPI already issues photo identification to approximately 92 per cent of health card holders. The minister said anyone who requires a Manitoba Health Card will transition to a new PIC at no charge. Once introduced, the minister noted the PIC will: • offer the convenience of a durable, all-in-one card; • use advanced technology to better protect cardholders
against identity theft, forgery and fraud; • ensure private information stays confidential; • improve access to photo identification for low-income and homeless Manitobans; and • help deliver the right services to the right person through easy photo identification of cardholder. MPI launched a comprehensive, five-week public and stakeholder consultation process last August. The minister noted that through public consultations, online feedback and telephone surveys, more than 4,000 Manitobans and 29 stakeholder organizations provided input. The full consultation report is available for viewing on the MPI website at www.mpi.mb.ca. “Positive feedback was provided by a wide spectrum of affected stakeholder groups,” said Attorney General Gord Mackintosh, minister responsible for Manitoba Public Insurance. “In addition to receiving feedback from thousands of Manitobans, we heard from many interested stakeholders including Manitoba’s francophone community, Indigenous representatives, social service agencies, health-care administrators and service providers. All of their suggestions will be considered as the initiative moves forward.” “Of the many suggestions re-
ceived during the consultation process, we are pleased to announce that we will be significantly expanding the life-saving capacity of organ donation services in Manitoba,” said Minister Blady. “By integrating the organ donor registry into the PIC issuance process, Manitobans will easily be able to state their preferences for organ donation if they choose to do so.” The minister also noted that while Manitoba Public Insurance will be accountable for establishing and verifying identity, Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors will retain full responsibility for determining eligibility for health services, assignment of personal health information numbers and approving family relationships under health registration numbers for health-care billing and pharmacare deductible application purposes. She also stressed that no personal health or drug records will be shared with Manitoba Public Insurance and no driver’s licence information or driver history will be shared with Manitoba Health. The minister noted the PIC initiative will have no financial impact on MPI ratepayers and will improve personal identification for all Manitobans, particularly for homeless and low-income citizens who may not necessarily have had access to proper photo identification.

Bell believes in Team Canada’s logo “Strong and Free” by Judy Wells As a member of Team Canada’s U18 Women’s hockey, Ashton Bell believes in the team slogan - to play “Strong and Free”. St. Catharine’s, ON, is playing host to the 2016 U18 Women’s World Hockey Championships. Hockey players in Canada grow up hoping to one day represent their country in an international tournament of some sort. Ashton Bell’s dream came true when she was named to the U18 Canadian Women’s team. “I was very excited and honoured to make the U18 roster as there are so many great female hockey players in Canada and to be selected as 1 of 23 players to make the team was pretty overwhelming,” said Bell. Bell says that her goal and that of the team is of course to win gold. Also a part of her individual goal is to “go out and play the best I can every game”. Is the calibre of play different from what you’ve experienced so far? What is your role on the team? Is there any teams that might be tougher than others? Bell says the calibre of play at this World championship is pretty tough. She likens it to what she experienced at Nationals in November with Team Manitoba especially coming up against Ontario in the gold medal game. “We are playing against the best players from all over the world”. What does she say about her role on Team Canada? “My role on the team is to go out and play whatever position I’m asked to play whether it be forward or defence and continue to be
a team motivator”. In their third preliminary round game, Team Canada faced USA. Bell said they were expecting the USA to be tough but she had confidence in her team’s talent to give them a great game. Note: US won 4-1 (empty net). Both teams advanced to the semifinal games on Thursday, January 14 - ( I am not sure who Canada’s opponent is at time of writing). “The whole experience has been so amazing! To play for Team Canada on home ice especially is a dream come true. The games have been pretty much sold out and the atmosphere in the Arena gives us so much energy and motivation on the ice every game and fan support is truly overwhelming. I feel very lucky to be a part of it all,” added Bell. Knowing that my family, friends and the entire community back home is watching and cheering me on is such great motivation; it’s been great growing up in such an amazing hockey community,” concluded Bell. Team Canada’s No. 26 Ashton Bell controls the puck as she skates around a Czech player at the World U18 Women’s Hockey Championships in St. Catharine’s, ON. PHOTO/COURTESY TERESA BELL

More than 40 science laboratories in high schools and universities across Manitoba will be upgraded to support cutting edge research and skills training, including a newly renovated lab at Fort Richmond Collegiate, as part of phase three of the province’s science action plan, Education and Advanced Learning Minister James Allum announced recently. “We’re investing in high school and university science labs to make sure the scientists of tomorrow learn the techniques they need to get good jobs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields,” said Minister Allum. “These targeted investments will help high school students get excited about science so they can bring their skills into university and the workplace.”
In 2011, the province launched the Action Plan for Science Education that included funding for science classroom renewal, teacher training and new strategic partnerships to promote the province’s science programming, Minister Allum added. Today’s announcement invests $20 million in new and renovated high school labs, as well as $5 million to ensure that students pursuing science and technology programs at university train on industry-standard equipment and in world-class facilities. “One of the hallmarks of a strong science program is the ability to nurture students’ curiosity, and modern labs with current equipment provide an excellent environment to foster interest and instill a love for learning. This leads to engagement, skill development, higher
thinking order and greater student success and graduation,” said Ted Fransen, superintendent, Pembina Trails School Division. “These new labs will play an important role in achieving those goals and we’re very pleased to be receiving this support from the Manitoba government.” Under the Action Plan for Science Education, the province has invested $25 million to upgrade 66 biology, chemistry and physics labs in high schools throughout the province, Minister Allum said. With today’s announcement, more than $45 million will have been committed to upgrade over 110 science labs in Manitoba high schools, along with the new supports for university science labs. “By ensuring stateof-the-art science laboratories in its high
schools and postsecondary institutions, Manitoba will produce innovative research that opens up new scientific horizons, improves health care and drives industrial development,” said Gabor Csepregi, president, Universite de Saint-Boniface. “At the Université de SaintBoniface, high-quality laboratories also inspire passionate teaching and make our stu-
dents see learning and research as a joyful adventure.” “We are committed to investing in our students because we know that parents want their children to get a good education that gives them the skills they need to get a good job here in Manitoba,” Minister Allum said. “Today’s announcement builds on a record of investing in our schools.”

Market Report Turbulent start to the year for stock markets by Robert Cey So far, 2016 has been volatile for global equity markets. Share prices fell as a result of developments in China and declining commodities prices. The week began with extreme volatility as weak Chinese manufacturing data sent the Shanghai Composite Index down 7% before trading was halted. This rattled global markets as concerns grew that slowing growth in China is hurting the global economy. A similar situation occurred Thursday as China allowed its currency to fall, suggesting that the country’s economy is weakening more than expected and that exports need help from a lower currency. This resulted in a 7% decline in the first half hour of trading, prompting another stock market halt. The shutdowns were triggered by a new “circuit breaker” mechanism, which China later suspended. Also contributing to volatility was a drop in the price of oil. The U.S. benchmark fell below $33 a barrel, the lowest in almost 12 years. Canadian and U.S. markets were pressured as investors reacted to China developments and as energy stocks fell. However, Canada’s S&P/TSX index fared better over the week than most equity market benchmarks. Weakness in base metals shares was offset by strength in gold stocks, limiting the negative impact on the key Canadian maDeloraine/Winchester
terials sector. European markets declined more than their North American counterparts owing to the impact of global worries on resource and manufacturing stocks. Japan had its worst yearly start since 1997 as it and other Asian markets were hit hard by China and global economy concerns. Emerging markets elsewhere tumbled on economic apprehension, commodities prices and currency volatility. Economic data in the US, the world’s largest economy, was largely positive. The economy ended 2015 with betterthan-expected employment growth of 292,000 positions in December. Job creation in the previous two months was revised upward. However, a key purchas-
