Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: The Manitoba Lung Association recently received donations from the Melita Donor’s Choice in the amount of $670.53 and the Deloraine & Area Donor’s Choice in the amount of $2,548.00. Thank you to these generous communities! The funds help to provide education and awareness programs to keep our lungs healthy. You also help to provide support for the one in five Manitobans who cope with lung disease every day and research for better treatment options. While The Manitoba Lung
Association runs a support group in Brandon called Best Breathers, we realize that not everyone can make the journey into the city to attend the monthly meetings. Did you know we have another option called Better Breathers on Air? No travel required, this support group is as close as your phone. The group is facilitated by an experienced health care professional over the telephone on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. The topics include chronic lung disease, treatment, symptom management and how to improve quality of
life. This is an excellent chance to learn coping tips from others who live with chronic lung disease.To join the support group, contact our partner Age and Opportunity at 204-956-6440 or 1-888-333-3121.

Dear Southwest Horizon School Division Constituents, The Southwest Horizon School Division Annual Budget process for the development of the 2016/17 Operating Budget has commenced. Please accept this letter as an invitation to attend our Annual General Meeting and Preliminary Budget Presentation to be held on February 10, 2016, at Hartney School in Hartney, MB, at 6:00 p.m. Over the past year, Southwest Horizon School Division has consulted with our constituents in several ways. The Division has collected feedback from school satisfaction surveys, student advisory council meetings as well as from an extensive process entitled ThoughtExchange. The ThoughtExchange process invited our community to share their thoughts about what we
are doing well and where we can improve and then prioritize these thoughts. The end goal for this process was to get a sense of shared values and priorities within our schools and across the Southwest Horizon School Division community. The feedback received has been instrumental in setting school improvement plans, the renewal of our Division’s Strategic Plan and budget priorities. The Board of Trustees will be considering the feedback arising from the ThoughtExchange results in its upcoming deliberations for the 2016/17 Operating Budget. At this time, we invite all of our constituents to review the ThoughtExchange results at www.shmb.thoughtexchange. info/ or directly from our website at www.shmb.ca If you feel the Division should
be focusing on other priorities, not specified in the ThoughtExchange results, or if you would like to provide further comments on the results, contact Carolyn Cory, Superintendent at 204-483-6248 or carolync@shmb. ca or contact Kevin Zabowski, Secretary-Treasurer at 204-4836261 or kevinz@shmb.ca to provide your input. Please provide your initial feedback by December 31, 2015, so we can consider it before the Annual General Meeting and Preliminary Budget Presentation on February 10, 2016. We hope that you can join us on February 10, 2016. Please RSVP your attendance to Michelle Blades, Executive Secretary, at 204-483-6249 or michelleb@shmb.ca Sincerely, Southwest Horizon School Division Board of Trustees

Odds & Ends by Judy Wells Ashton Bell is a member of the U-18 Team Manitoba Women’s hockey team that won silver at the Nationals held recently in Ontario. She graciously answered a few questions for me: Q: Can you tell me about the teams you’ve played with to date? A: After Deloraine Minor Hockey, started with Westman Wildcats in 2013 to present, played with Team Manitoba for 2015 Canada Winter Games and then for U18 Nationals November 1, 2015. Q: You have developed amazing hockey skills. What do you attribute that to? A: I attended the Breakfast Club Program from a young age and several skills sessions such as Botchko. I’ve had many great coaches and hockey mentors over the years. Q: What has been your hockey highlight to date? A: Winning silver with Team Manitoba at U18 Nationals in 2015. Q: What are your goals concerning hockey in the future? A: Play university hockey and hope to someday play for our National team. Q: How do you balance school and hockey? And sometimes high school rodeo as well? A: I really have to stay on top of schoolwork as I usually miss several days of school throughout the year. High school rodeo has had to take a back seat over the last couple of years but I continue to ride every chance I get. • • • I’m not sure what happened with last week’s paper. Odds & Ends was somehow missed. Anyway, the Municipality of Deloraine-Winchester had an announcement - “Council is proceeding with a Local Improvement Plan for a proposed Community Hall/Curling Rink Complex. Please stay tuned for next week’s paper where there will be an official news release”. • • • The Christmas season is upon us and that means lots of special suppers, School Christmas concerts. The K-3 concert is on Monday, December 7, at 7:00 p.m. at the Deloraine-Winchester Theatre and the Grade 4-6 concert is Tuesday, December 8, same time and place. • • • A big shout out to Scott McDonald who won the honour of being one of three Canadians representing the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy at the World Championships in Thailand next year. Check out the article and photos in this issue. Scott is the son of Lynn and Bev McDonald and brother to Bonnie. Congratulations Scott and good luck at the Worlds! • • • The Town is so pretty at night - lots of great Christmas lights, snowmen, Santa Clauses and blow up characters. It’s fun to take a ride around town and view it all. Way to go everyone! • • • Fish fry anyone? The Delodaze Committee is hosting a fish fry and Christmas baking auction on Friday, December 18, at the Deloraine Legion from 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. The auction starts at 7:30 p.m. It’s a good chance to get some delicious baking for Christmas and support a local event at the same time. Also, the “Stock Your Bar for Christmas” draw will be held this night. Mark your calendar!

Turtle Mountain Bible Camp update submitted by Howard and Kathy Weir, Directors, TMBC RISE UP & BUILD Capital Campaign has kicked off at Turtle Mountain Bible Camp as they prepare to begin construction in 2016 on their new kitchen/dining hall/chapel facility. Weir said, “Although it was disappointing not having the stamped drawings to begin construction in the fall as anticipated, we know these set-backs are not a surprise to God and His timing is perfect. It has allowed us to continue to raise the needed funds so things will be able to really move ahead once construction begins. It was another exceptional summer with full camps and a number of school, church and rental groups in the spring and fall. TMBC’s first College and Career retreat also turned out to be our first ‘Snow Camp’ due to the unexpected blizzard we had in May. Despite the weather, it was a tremendous success and is scheduled to happen again next spring.” TMBC believes that ‘Every child is a story yet to be told’. The ministry is ecstatic with the involvement of area communities investing in the lives of campers through their generous donations. There have been so many exciting developments. • Individual and church donations; • Boissevain Lions Club - $1,000; • Boissevain United Commercial Travellers of America (UCT) $2,000; • Brandon Area Community Foundation $25,000. Last fall, a former camper/staff member in Killarney initiated a “Canola for Camp” fundraiser. Matt went to farms with his grain truck and individuals made donations of canola towards the new facility. This fall, Landon (another former camper/ staff member) in Crystal City had a large bin and weigh station set up for farmers to contribute canola. A total of nearly $60,000 has been raised in these endeavours. On Saturday evening, a gala was held at McDiarmid Alliance Church in Brandon with 150 people in attendance. Victor Pak and Priscilla Lee provided special music throughout the evening and Steven Janz spoke. There were also two short DVD presentations of campers and staff highlighting the impact that camp has had on their lives. Fifteen of the youth staff came to serve
tables. We marvel at the incredible and generous response, as $31,000 was raised. An authentic Jonathan Toews autographed hockey jersey was donated and also on display. We are now needing to find someone who is knowledgeable to help us auction and sell this safely on-line. “Words can’t adequately express the incredible encouragement and help each gift has meant. To date, a total of $652,000 has already been raised towards our $1.4 million goal to complete phase one of this urgently needed new facility. We are grateful for each one who desires to partner with us, enabling us to continue to make a difference in lives”, Weir said. Another new development has been having Paterson, Cargill, Viterra and Pioneer elevators come on board by creating accounts for Turtle Mountain Bible Camp. This will enable anyone to give bushels of grain to the camp in exchange for a tax receipt. They only need to let the elevator manager know they wish to donate a portion to TMBC. The new camp facility will be 106’ x 102’, providing ample room for growth, meet health and occupancy regulations and offer an extended camping season. Phase one will include an approved kitchen, 240 seat dining hall/chapel combination. There will be a full basement and recreation area to enjoy indoor activities during inclement weather. We will also be able to replace the old faltering equipment (fridge, freezers, stoves and air conditioner), with new cost efficient units. Phase 2 will include registration/office wing, nurses quarters, tuck shop, staff lounge, laundry and accommodations. The goal is to build the entire structure and get occupancy so the kitchen/ dining hall can be operational as soon as possible. TMBC hopes that businesses and others will continue to be involved by helping to provide some of the needed materials and labour to reduce expenses. The addition of gaga ball and two new carpet ball games were fun additions to camp activities. A new skills camp was also offered, providing campers the opportunity to receive specialized coaching in a chosen skill. Additional skills such as culinary, photography and swim instruction were also
taught at this session. The camp boat has been replaced with a larger inboard motor boat that will pull tubers and skiers more easily. “It is always exciting to hear how the things campers and staff experienced still lingers and resurfaces in conversations. The passion and enthusiasm of the staff makes camp an important and memorable part of a campers life”, said Weir. The new camp brochures are at the printers and will also be available on-line at tmbc.ca and mailed out in January to assist parents as they line up their summer holidays. Gift certificates for specialty (J.O.Y. (55+); Family; Horse Clinic; College & Career) or summer children’s sessions are available and can make a lasting and meaningful Christmas gift. Contact the directors at 204-534-6844 for more information.

The day kicked off with a spaghetti luncheon organized by the Social Justice Club. They raised over $750 to go towards adopting local families for Christmas through Deloraine & Area Christmas Cheer. Principal Tony Franklin welcomed the School Board members which included Janice McDonald, Michelle Edwards, Linda Phillips, Scott Perkin, Cindy Cassils, and Superintendent Carolyn Cory. This was followed with an Athletic. Mr. Franklin invited Ashton Bell and Grady Hobbs to the front where they were recognized for their contributions as members of U-18 Team Manitoba and U-16 Team Manitoba respectively. Both teams earned silver medals at their National Championships held earlier this fall. “We’re very proud of Ashton and Grady. Even though it was a heartbreaking loss in the finals, it is always quite a feat for Manitoba teams to medal at Nationals. Ontario has more players eligible for their team than Manitoba has total hockey players. Ashton traditionally plays defence, however, she was asked to play forward for half the tournament due to a teammate’s injury. Grady’s U-16 team also made the finals, and again Alberta has more players eligible for their team than Manitoba has total hockey players. Congratulations to Ashton and Grady!” said Franklin. The varsity girl’s volleyball team earned the right to go to Provincials. Coach Jill Patmore thanked everyone who helped the team including parents, scorekeepers and the school secretary, Mrs. Revet.
There was even more to celebrate Manitoba Volleyball Association named Ms. Patmore the ‘A’ Schools Coach of the Year. Abbey Franklin presented Ms. Patmore with some flowers. “The team congratulates you on this honour. We appreciate the time and effort and countless hours you give for us. We are very grateful,” said Franklin. Ms. Patmore had a few words to say about each member of the team: Abi Wilkinson - This is Abi’s first season. She has a lot of enthusiasm and understands the game well and perhaps, most importantly, she laughs at my jokes. Tori Maxwell - She may be tiny but she puts up some huge blocks. She is always positive and she has great flexibility and a strong work ethic. Olivia Raes - She has natural athleticism and is never afraid to swing. Olivia has a huge vertical and she is a tremendous player. Jessica Goethals – Jessica is always smiling and singing. She brings a light and joy to the court with her enthusiasm and kindness. She has terrific down the line shots. Kelly Temple - She works hard and puts in a lot of effort. Kelly rises to challenges, she quickly adapts to the opposing team and is a dynamic player. Jill Crowe - She is smart and adjusts to the play. She has a lot of enthusiasm and skill and a good combination of offense and defense. Abbey Franklin - Abbey plays with confidence and never gives up. She remains positive no matter what the situation and will be remembered for serving 24 straight points - twice! Skyla Vanmackelberg – Skyla is known for her reach, which dance training helped to develop. She was named Rural Athlete of the Week. She leads in kills and blocks
and virtually lays herself out to get the ball. Riley Mills - Riley is the captain of the team. She shows great leadership and is the voice for the team. She plays with passion and goes after her goalsAnd has a big block. Cassidy McCausland - She is the cocaptain and always gives her best. Ms. Patmore showed a video presentation about the volleyball team’s season. This concluded the Athletic Recognition and the School Board members continued on to an Art Smart tour of the Grade
2 Science projects, the Grade 5 and 6 Peep Shows and the hallway Art Gallery. Next stop of the tour was in the music room to listen to the Grade 7-12 choir, under the direction of music teacher David Heilmann, rehearsing for Christmas. The tour continued in the Grade 9 Human Justice class where the students were making presentations about their human justice projects. Keiman Olson was the first presenter and his topic was Korean Gulags. The tour wrapped up at the Art Smart Finale in the gym. (See separate article).

K-Grade 8 ArtSmart program wraps up by Judy Wells Deloraine School was successful in its application for an ArtSmart II grant. The theme of the 10-week project was “Making Conservation Connections through Creativity.” Joan Trott who has facilitated several successful ArtsSmart Programs in the past delivered it. The Kindergarten - Grade 8 portion of the program concluded on Wednesday, November 25, with an ArtsSmart Showcase in the gym. Many parents, grandparents, friends and members of the Southwest Horizon School Division were in attendance. Tony Franklin, principal, gave words of welcome. He thanked the two staff members, Donna Moore and Donna McGregor, who were instrumental in bringing the ArtsSmart program to the school. “Literally, all I did was approve the project proposal and sign a paper, they did all
the work”, said Franklin. The Kindergarten to Grade 4 students presented some musical creations keeping with the project theme: Kindergarten presented “Hug a Tree”; Grade 1: presented “Inch By Inch”; Grade 2: presented “Little Drops of Water The Water Cycle Song”; Grade 3: “A House is a House”; Grade 4: “The Rock Cycle Song” and “Rock Cycle Readers Theatre.” The Grade 9 class presented an ArtsSmart slide show reviewing activities from the past 10 weeks. The projects included: Kindergarten - Tree paintings related to a Science unit on trees. Grade 1 - Colour mixing, colour wheel and tile painting.

18 annual Memory Tree th th
A Christmas tree is situated in the waiting room of the Deloraine Health Centre. We invite all of you to hang an ornament on our tree in memory of someone dear to you and your family. The person can be anyone whom you wish to remember. You can also hang an ornament “in hope” for someone. Gift tags will be available to identify the person on your ornament, if desired. You are welcome to pick up your ornament by January 5, 2016. All remaining ornaments will be stored to decorate the tree next year.
A donation is not required to hang an ornament on the tree, but anyone wishing to make a donation to the Palliative Care Program may do so at the Business Office. The residents of our area have been generous to our Palliative Care Program. This is our way of saying “Thank You” and helping you to remember with love and hope at Christmas!
tion with Solar System unit in Science. Respecting the spiritual dimension of Nature. Grade 7 - Graphing pictures of water invasive species; French impression paintings. Grade 8 - Ancient Egyptian pizza box dioramas. Grade 10 - Water testing on Medora Creek. These projects were made possible with the support of Manitoba Art Council and Turtle Mountain Conservation District. Trott also worked with staff at the SAGE in-service for teachers on October 23 showcasing ways to integrate art into core curriculum subjects as a teaching strategy. The K-8 portion of the ArtsSmart program has wrapped up. Fortunately Joan will be returning to Deloraine School to work with the Grade
9 and 12 classes. Two Grade 6 students, Hillary Kelm and Kenzie Wells, thanked Mrs. Trott for all she has done with the students and presented her with a gift of appreciation. Principal Franklin also gave words of thanks, “You’ve inspired many students, right from the Water Festival kick-off to today’s finale”. Mrs. McGregor had some final words, “Mrs. Trott is creative in art and music, she’s positive offbeat and flexible and a great person to work with. Thanks for being at Deloraine School.” Joan replied the students were great to work with and she, too, enjoyed the time a great deal. “I’ve been to many schools and I just want to say Deloraine School is a wonderful school,” concluded Trott.

The regular meeting of the Southwest Horizon School Division was held on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at 2:00 p.m at the Elkhorn Conference Centre. Trustees present were Scott Perkin (chair), Sven Kreusch (vice-chair), Cindy Cassils, Allan Downey, Michelle Edwards, Chris Page, Linda Phillips. Administration present were Carolyn Cory and Kevin Zabowski, and recording secretary Michelle Blades. Regrets: Janice McDonald and Penny Oliver. The chair called the meeting to order at 2:08 p.m. Downey/Page: Be it resolved that we adopt the agenda, as presented. Carried. Kreusch/Edwards: Be it resolved that we approve the minutes from the Regular Board Meeting of October 28, 2015, as circulated. Carried. In Camera: Edwards/Downey: Be it resolved that the Board move into in-camera session. Carried. Kreuch/Phillips: Be it resolved that the Board move out of in-camera session at 2:17 p.m. Carried. Phillips/Edwards: Be it resolved that we approve the staffing report as presented. Carried. The superintendent report to the Board included the following: • School Review Visits - Once a term, our Senior Administration Team (Student Services Coordinator, Curriculum Coordinator, and myself) visited school teams (consisting of principal, vice-principal, resource teacher, literacy coach, and numeracy coach) to review all class profiles, all school related data (provincial results, divisional results, school results), as well as school and classroom goals. This is a collaborative approach to review strengths
and needs, and then to identify strategies and next steps. These visits took place during the past two weeks. • Truth and Reconciliation - High school students and staff from Wawanesa, Hartney, Waskada, and Pierson took part in the Education Day of Celebration with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on November 4 in Winnipeg. Participants heard from and met survivors of the Residential School System, Chief Justice Murray Sinclair, Clara Hughes, and many others. It was a very emotional and inspirational day! Students have been asked to provide brief written feedback which we will post on our website shortly. • Mental health and well being for Grade 9 and 10 students with Rob Nash. All students in Grades 9 and 10 will travel to Souris Community Hall on December 14 to participate in a workshop with Rob Nash on the topic of mental health and well being. This workshop is sponsored and presented by Prairie Mountain Health. • Mental Health First Aid Training, April 20/21 - We offered this training to administrators and middle years staff in October. Due to the very positive feedback we will offer it once again in April. Administrators reported that the information was extremely helpful. • Assessment Committee - I have asked principals to nominate staff to take part in an Assessment Committee for SHSD. The purpose of this committee is to research best assessment practice in order to gain greater consistency between classrooms and schools. Some of the topics to be considered include what is the purpose of assessment, what is the difference between assessment and reporting, what is the best way to report progress, what do we mean by feedback, should we give zeros, what do we do with late assignments, etc. Continued on page 9

Southwest Horizon School Division Munchkin Minutes
Continued from page 8 • Grad review - School administrators plan to review our awards and grad practices across the Division. We have found over the past few years that there are many differences in how awards are tabulated/determined, what awards we have, when and where we present awards, etc. For example, some schools include PE marks when tabulating marks for proficiency awards and some don’t. Does this matter? What is our rationale? The goal of this review is to provide a belief system for consistency of recognition and celebration while also allowing for differentiation across communities. •Restitution Facilitator training - Diane Gossen and Judy Anderson will return to SHSD to provide Facilitator training for interested staff. This training will assist staff in leading and assisting their peers in moving restitution forward. It is our hope that these facilitators will also be able to provide workshops for our parents. • Numeracy Sessions for principals - The Student Achievement Support Unit is offering three half-day sessions for principals on becoming a numeracy leader. Currently these sessions are all scheduled in Winnipeg but we have requested an alternate location or a webinar/go to meeting because our principals are very interested but feel that three half days in Winnipeg is not practical. • Manitoba Career Development Website - The Department has a new website at www.manitobacareerdevelopment.ca. The secretary-treasurer report to the Board included the following: • Financial Statement - an update for the current school year was presented to the Board. • Accounts Payable were reviewed. Kreusch/Phillips: Be it resolved that we approve the following accounts for payment: Payroll for the month of October - $1,137,023.07. October 30, 2015 Accounts Payable: 31154 -31184 - $156,060.89 Direct Deposit: 7528 - 7575 - $27,566.02 Manual Cheque: 852 - $75.00 November 6, 2015 Accounts Payable: 31185 - 31234 - $298,885.11 Direct Deposit: 7576 - 7675 - $100,333.58 November 13, 2015 Accounts Payable: 31235 - 31272 - $234,780.26 Direct Deposit: 7676 - 7705 - $30,177.15

New business • Accessibility for Manitobans Act - The secretarytreasurer discussed the Accessibility for Manitobans Act (AMA) which became law on December 5, 2013. The Manitoba government will develop mandatory accessibility standards to address barriers for Manitobans. These standards will apply to Manitoba’s private and public sector organizations including school divisions. The Accessible Built Environment standard will address access into and within buildings and outdoor spaces and is expected to build on Manitoba’s Building Code. The standard could include things like counter height, aisle and door width, parking and signs. The Accessible Transportation standard will address aspects of accessible public transportation. Access to transportation is needed for going to work or school, shopping and other aspects of daily life. School Divisions, which come under the public sector, must comply with these standards by November 1, 2017. Southwest Horizon School Division plan is for key staff to attend information sessions in November, to develop an Accessibility Plan by November 2016 and to ensure we are compliant with the Customer Service Standard by 2017. • Band Aid Grant - the superintendent advised the Board that she had written a letter of support for the Deloraine Music Teacher who has applied for a $10,000 C.A.R.A.S MusicCounts Band Aid Grant to develop the Deloraine School Music Program. • Souris Early Learning Program request - A letter was received from the Souris Cooperative Early Learning Program regarding renovations to rooms 14 and 16 in Souris School.

The next regular meeting will be held on November 25, 2015, at the call of the Chair in Deloraine School. Carried. The meeting adjourned at 3:20 p.m.
submitted by Wee ‘R’ Daycare staff We have had another fabulous month weather-wise considering November is over. We have been able to continue to enjoy the outdoors. We learned a lot about dinosaurs and did lots of different activities and crafts including dino prints and pretending to be dinosaurs. Remembrance Week we talked about why we wear poppies and made different crafts including poppies and Canada flags. We also attended the school Remembrance Day Service in which all the children were very interested. November 20 was National Child’s Day where we recognize the rights of all children. Blue ribbons were worn to show our support of these rights. We also learned about he different types of transportation in our “Things That Go Week”. We made boats and had mud bogs in paint with our cars. Everyone was very excited about the first snowfall and we all enjoyed playing in it until it melted again. At the Centre we are getting geared up for Christmas. We have all our decorations up and we were given a Christmas tree. We’ve also been working at making our own decorations to put on the tree. We have written our Letter to Santa and walked up to mail it. Hopefully the Big Guy in Red will come have a visit with us. We held our annual general meeting and our 25th anniversary on November 25 at the Centre. We had some very tasty cupcakes brought for the children for snack that day, too. We would like to congratulate Glenys Bertholet on her 25 years of quality childcare and Courtney Aitchison on 10 years of service as well. We are wishing everyone a happy holiday season and a great New Year. We will be back in 2016 with the next Munchkin Minutes.

St. Antoninus celebrates 100th anniversary of Archdiocese by Judy Wells Sunday, November 29 was a day of celebration at St. Antoninus church in Deloraine. Parishioners gathered for a potluck supper to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg and Fr. Paul Bisson’s 10th anniversary of priesthood. A delicious potluck supper was enjoyed, including a special anniversary cake. Following the supper everyone enjoyed a power point presentation of pictures of St. Antoninus parish through the years. These included the transformation of the actual church structure, the list of priests who have served the parish, weddings, baptisms, celebrations, and much more. Many people recognized their younger selves in First Communion and Confirmation pictures. The trip down memory lane was very interesting.
