February a busy month for varsity girls submitted The Varsity Girls Basketball team travelled to Moosomin for tournament action. The ladies worked hard all weekend battling injuries and some adversity to sealing the tournament title with a 48-40 victory over Rocanville. During the round robin tournament the team also played Mossomin and Redvers. Paige Eissner average 17 points per game throughout the tournament. Michelle Perez, Amee Butterfield and Carina Punay played well at the guard position and Erica Luptak continued her terrific play on the perimeter. The ladies will hit the practice court over the next week to get ready for a big tournament in Niverville February 1/2. Zone 9 League Play The ladies split a pair of league games. The

girls’ rivals from Boissevain payed a visit. The game was close throughout. With only a couple seconds remaining the ladies missed a shot that would have sent the game into overtime as they lost 43-40. Paige scored 15 points in the loss and had 9 rebounds while Erica added 8 points and 7 rebounds. On Thursday the ladies powered through a slow start and came away with a 50-26 victory in Killarney. Paige again had 15 points and Catherine Punay added 5 points and 3 steals. The Varsity Girls Basketball returned to action after surviving the deep freeze and exams! The girls travelled to Niverville for tournament action last weekend. In their opener the ladies had the offense rolling as the team put up a season high 79 points in a 79-16. Every

player hit the scoresheet with a basket as the girls were on fire from the 3-point line making seven in the game! Mac Matiowsky scored a career-high 17 points to go along with 12 rebounds. Paige Eissner added 16 points and Megan Simon, Kaedynce Tuttosi and Catherine Punay chipped in with 8 points.

Later in the semi-final a poor opening half to the first quarter hampered the ladies as they missed several defensive assignments falling behind by 12 points. The team rallied to only trail by 4 at the half to Calvin Christian. Unfortunately they wouldn’t get any closer as a poor shooting third quarter cost the Sabres and they fell

51-36. Carina Punaly lead the attack with 9 points and 3 steals. Michelle Perez added 5 points and 4 steals. The third place game was a close affair through three quarters. Another Winnipeg school, Springs Christian was the opponent. After leading by one point going into the fourth quarter the ladies stepped

up their game and pulled away to 51-36 victory. Tournament All Star Paige Eissner led all scorers with 20 points and 15 rebounds while Amee Butterfield added 8 points in the victory. The ladies travel to Wawanesa for league play February 5 before hosting Virden Thursday, February 7.

EDITORIAL Those who oppose pipeline laughing all the way to the bank Letter to the editor; All the time there are new discoveries of oil resources, and every country is keen to explore these resources. Canadian governments (2 provinces and the federal government) seem to be the only ones who make it as difficult as possible. Recently new discoveries were made under the Caspian Sea and it is estimated there are 25 billion barrels of oil and huge reserves of natural gas locked up. All five countries surrounding the Caspian Sea agreed to exploit these resources. If Canada doesn’t deliver its oil, other countries will. BC claims they don’t need the oil or

the pipeline, their economy is doing well (service industry and tourism). Both are secondary industries, in other words, the money you spend there has to be generated first in other industries before you can spend it there. Quebec is not any better. Both provinces get billions of $s in transfer payments. Where do they think this money is coming from? The US build pipelines left and right even under the Obama administration yet in Canada just one pipeline has been approved and it is only to replace an 50 year old one. Every year about $100 million are sent from the US to Canada to support

the environmentalist and prevent the building of new pipelines under the pretense of saving the environment. The real reason however is, certain companies and wealthy people want to prevent Canada from delivering its oil to the world market. They don’t care about Canadian jobs, the only thing they are interested in is the profit they are making from the difference of the world market price and what they pay for Canadian oil, which was about US $50 not to long ago and that adds up to $30 - 40 billion a year (US $40 to 50 bill. Can). That is a really good investment; spend $100 million to make tens of bil-

lions. There are people who believe they are saving the environment but the lawyers and some indigenous people (for them it is tax free money) getting very well paid to oppose these pipelines and laughing all the way to the bank and my opinion is it borders almost on treason. Quebec and BC claim their economy is doing well, so if they are doing so well why does BC need $4 billion + some tens of millions for infrastructure and Quebec $11 billion + an extra 2.5 billion this year in transfer payments? Worse yet, they use this money to buy all of their oil from the US and overseas from

countries which are ruled by dictators who live like kings. These monies could be used to invest in alternative energies and other improvements, but of course our governments have lots of money to spend and public debt is going up and up. In case of the US they buy the oil in Canada at a huge discount and sell it slightly for less than the world market price. BC claims they are worried about oil tankers sailing through their costal waters. The eastern Provinces don’t seem to have any problems with that, since almost all their oil is delivered with tankers. Besides,

one shouldn’t have drunk captains on any ship. Two tugboats accompany these tankers until they reach open water, which brings extra revenues to the BC Economy. Ralph Goodale mentioned not that long ago his government would make a decision regarding the 5G Internet concerning the Huawei technology on the basis what is right for Canada. When is this government doing the same thing for the energy sector? There are 100,000 good paying jobs lost in the energy sector, but they are crying about 2,800 lost jobs in the Ontario auto sector. Detlef Eissner Souris Mb.

2019-20 funds not nearly enough to maintain programs For the third year in a row, the Manitoba government has announced a real dollar drop in funding for public schools. And the prospect of doing more with even less next school year against the background of a major K-12 education

review does not sit well with Manitoba teachers. “No matter how you slice it, a .5% “increase” doesn’t even play catch up to roughly 2% inflation and increases in student enrollment,” says Manitoba Teachers’ Society President

Norm Gould. “Teachers face more diverse student needs than ever. This announcement will not help.” In addition, Gould says the province is once again directing divisions to cap increases to their local education property tax at

two per cent for the 201920 school year and will ask divisions to continue to cut administrative costs. A detailed backgrounder sheet distributed along with today’s government news release detailed winners and losers among in-

dividual divisions, “with fewer getting increases”, said Gould. As for yesterday’s announcement of the K-12 Education Review Commission, the MTS President says the Society is onboard. “We are pleased to see

the education review getting underway and we’re hopeful that the recommendations will address funding shortfalls for public schools so that students can get the resources and help they need in every corner of the province.”

Local man receives nod from ACC Continued from Page 4 distinguished themselves in both their chosen profession and their community. A lifetime of work in the grain industry started with a decision to pursue a diploma in Business Administration at Assiniboine. Jeffrey (Jeff) Johnston, a 1981 graduate of Assiniboine, used a combination of education and personality to launch a career that would take him to the role of Assistant Vice-President of the AgHorizons Canada business unit of Cargill Limited, and would see him recognized as a leader throughout the Prairies for his visionary initiatives, and personal connections with clients, colleagues, and most importantly, friends. Brice Perkins is this year’s co-recipient of the One to Watch Award, which recognizes a graduate who is 30 years of age or younger at the time of nomination and has made exceptional achievements and significant contributions to their profession and community. As a young man growing up in Brandon, like so many other Canadians, Brice would dream of one day being in the NHL. His acumen in television production would get him there. Brice is a graduate of the Interactive Me-

In 2017, Brice joined Dome Productions, to serve as a Technical Director for broadcasts including NHL, IIHF World Juniors (for the NHL Network), CHL and pre-Olympic hockey, curling for clients such as Sportsnet and TSN, as well as working for Fox Sports and AT&T Sportsnet in the United States. Now primarily based out of Alberta, Brice has travelled internationally to switch content in Indonesia for the 2018 Asia

Games, and FIVB World Volleyball for IMG Productions in London, England. Martin Raupers is this year’s other co-recipient of the One to Watch Award. Raised on a farm in Otze, Germany, you might say agriculture was in Martin’s blood, but mechanics was something that came naturally. Ultimately, something that would blend the two would be a place where he would truly find his success. Martin enrolled in Assiniboine’s pre-employment Heavy Duty Equipment Technician program in 2009. Following the completion of his certificate in the program, he joined Toromont CAT, where he completed his apprenticeship as an Agricultural Technician in 2014.

Martin is currently recognized as one of the top management talents within AgWest Ltd. He manages a significant portion of the dealership’s employees, physical assets and profitability. He is a member of the senior management team, a key player in the selection, recruitment and hiring of all service staff, and the youngest Operations Manager in Toromont history. The Excellence in Teaching Award honours a faculty member for extraordinary contributions to teaching and the student experience. Automotive Technician instructor Mark Malyon is the recipient of this year’s award. Raised on the family farm in Glenboro, Mark came from a background of mechanics and farming. Starting part-time

in the local repair shop after school, he gained his interest and knowledge as an automotive technician. Over the next 32 years, he worked as an automotive technician, receiving his Red Seal Certification. Mark became an instructor at Assiniboine in 2012. He currently serves on the Skills Manitoba planning committee and judges at the yearly Skills Manitoba competition, an event that recognizes and celebrates student excellence at the college level. Award recipients will be formally recognized at the Alumni Advancement Dinner on April 4, 2019, at Prairie Firehouse. Those interested in event details, sponsorship information, or tickets may contact Shaun Cameron, Alumni Relations Co-ordinator, at 204.725.8700 ext 6617.

This year’s Distinguished Alumni Award is presented posthumously to Jeffrey Johnston. The award is presented annually to graduates of the college who have distinguished themselves in both their chosen profession and their community.
