AAA Midget hockey player spearheads Pettinger fundraiser

Lance Laycock of the Norman Northstars (Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League) spearheaded a campaign to raise funds for Braden Pettinger. Laycock presented the cheque for $500 to Deanna Kowalchuk, one of the organizers of the Boxing Day social that raised $90,000 towards the ongoing costs facing 20-year-old Pettinger as he battles to overcome a life-changing spinal injury sustained in a Junior A hockey game in Portage last November.

Licence plate validation stickers being eliminated Licence plate validation stickers will no longer be required by Manitobans, or issued by Autopac agents, effective March 1, 2016. Gord Mackintosh, minister responsible for Manitoba Public Insurance, said for vehicle owners, this means greater convenience as they will no longer have to apply validation stickers. “Perhaps more importantly however, our police agencies are continually upgrading and enhancing their ability to deal with crime,” said Mackintosh. “Our front-line police officers have a challenging job. We can’t thank them enough for their service in keeping our roads safe.” “Customers who renew their Autopac policies will be issued blank stickers to cover up the existing stickers on their licence plates,” said Ward

Highlighted calls for service in Souris RCMP area were as follows: Souris RCMP is happy to report that the “stolen” purse from Subway was, in fact, picked up and stored by an employee. The purse has been re-

turned to its rightful owner along with all its contents. January 11 was a busy day for the Souris Detachment area. Police were called by MTCC to assist with a woman in medical distress. Police attended and the woman was transported to the hospital without incident. On the same date, police were contacted by a Wawanesa resident

Keith, vice-president, Business Development & Communications and chief product officer, Manitoba Public Insurance. “For those customers getting new plates, they will not be required to apply the month and year stickers.” Due to Manitoba Public Insurance’s staggered, five-year renewal system, the sticker transition will be fully completed by March 1, 2021. “The elimination of stickers was the result of collaborative discussions with police agencies, and will result in reduced costs to the Corporation, which will in turn, benefit ratepayers,” said Keith. “Our customers will also find it more convenient to not have to apply stickers to their licence plates.” Police vehicles are now equipped with onboard computers, which allow for real-time valiregarding a letter that he received in the mail, which he believed to be threatening in nature. Police reviewed the letter, but it did not meet the definition of threats under the criminal code. A second call came in from a Wawanesa resident. The resident was looking for advice regarding an unknown female that he had met on Facebook. Explicit video chats had been exchanged and the unknown female was now threatening to publish them. This file is currently unsolved. An attempted theft of two snowmobiles in

the rural part of SourisGlenwood was reported to police. This file is currently unsolved. On January 17 a call came in reporting a vehicle driving at a high rate of speed and into oncoming traffic. The plate came back to a dealer out of Winnipeg. Police patrolled the area, but the vehicle could not be located.

dation of a vehicle’s registration status, and now makes the need for licence plate validation stickers unnecessary. To complement these on-board computers, the major police agencies in Manitoba are now using automated licence plate readers. These devices are highly efficient and alert officers immediately if a vehicle’s registration and insurance has lapsed and is invalid. “The Manitoba Association of Chiefs of Police (MACP) Traffic Committee entirely supports MPI’s new stance on licence plate validation,” said Insp Joanne Keeping of the Manitoba RCMP. “With technology allowing instant validation of licence plates, police officers are better equipped to immediately address offenders driving unregistered vehicles.”

The Rach III submitted

A fascination with Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto began in 1996 when the film “Shine” hit theatres. The film is the true story of Australian pianist, David Helfgott, and his struggles with mental health and tackling the great concerto. In the film, the characters refer to the concerto as the Rach III, an apt nickname for one of the most technically demanding piano works ever written. The young Helfgott of the movie collapses onstage at the finish of his performance in a piano competition. It is so difficult that many concert pianists will never attempt to play it, and yet it also has some of the most haunting, beautiful melodies you will ever hear on the instrument. The musical score is 79 pages long, offering over

40 minutes of both intense, turbulent emotion and ethereal beauty in melodies that carry the heart to a higher realm. The first performance in New York in 1909 featured the composer himself, Russian pianist, Sergei Rachmaninoff, as the soloist. Our community has a rare opportunity to hear this epic concerto performed on two pianos at the home of John and Lara Mason on Tuesday, February 2. Russian concert pianist, Alexander Tselyakov, will be the featured soloist, accompanied on the second piano by his student, Tigran Saakyan. Refreshments will be served following the concerto with the possibility of a solo piece if the performers are not absolutely exhausted from the concerto. Please see the Coming Events section for details!

Cougars move into sixth position by Grant Moffatt The Southwest Cougars played a pair of home games and earned a couple of wins outscoring the opposition 10-3 on the weekend improving there record to 16-15-1-1 for 34 points. The two wins moved them a point up on Brandon and Kenora. Saturday night the last place Norman Northstars made a visit to the Cougar den. The Cougars skated away with a 6-2 win. Prior to the game Norman captain Lance Laycock made a presentation to Deanna Kowalchuk for the Braden Pettinger fund. Laycock started a fundraising effort at Norman home games and $500 was added to the fund. The game saw Norman open the scoring midway through the first period. Quin Hobbs tipped a Jay Webber point shot just over a minute later to even the score. Grady Hobbs scored a short handed goal with help from Carson Boyechko in the fourth minute and then Dexter Dalgleish scored a unassisted goal at the 14 minute mark. Lance Laycock then made it a 3-2 game when he banged the puck past Brady Gordon.

The third period saw three unanswered goals by the Cats. Michael Tilbury buried the biscuit with help from Jared McCorrister and John Patmore just over a minute into the third. Quin Hobbs scored his second of the game on the power play from Carson Boyechko and Zach Wytinck at 9:26. John Patmore finished the scoring a minute later when he hooked up with McCullough Park. Brady Gordon finished the night with 24 saves while the Cougars fired 31 shots at the Norman net. The game saw John Patmore return to the lineup and his play earned him the Subway player of the game. Sunday afternoon the second place Winnipeg Wild paid a visit to the Cougar den. Rylan Rommelaere returned to form and threw up a brick wall in a 39 save performance as the Cougars skated to a convincing 4-1 win. The effort gave Rommelaere the Subway Player of the Game. Ian Briscoe opened the scoring at 7:11 when he picked the top shelf for the lead. Jared McCorrister tied the game at 15:37 when he hooked up with Blake Jameson and Tanner Gaudry. John Patmore picked the far corner a min-

ute later from Zach Wytinck and Dexter Dalgleish a minute later for the 2-1 lead and the eventual game winner. The second period was a scoreless frame with the Cougars killing off a 2 man penalty to keep the lead. The third period saw the Cougars take the game away from the Wild. Dawson Waddell fired a wicked shot from the high slot from Quin Hobbs and Zach Wytinck for a two goal lead at 4:56. Tristen Cross then scored an insurance marker when he hooked up with Dexter Dalgleish and John Patmore to finish the scoring. Brian Harris missed his fourth game with an upper body injury and is expected to return this week. The Cougars said goodbye to Jared Janke who has returned to Alberta to finish school. The Cougars host Pembina Valley in a mid-week game and Parkland on Sunday this week with a game in Yellowhead on Friday night. Circle February 7 on your calendar as the Cougars will be hosting a Super Bowl brunch in the Kirkup Lounge prior to the Central Plains game at 2:00 pm. Watch for signs and more details.

Why everyone should own a foam roller Have you ever walked into a gym or even someone’s home and seen an object that looks like a PVC pipe with rubber around it and think, why would you ever need that? Foam rolling, also known as self-myofascial release, is a great way to release muscle soreness through trigger points. This method can be produced in different fashions, but foam rollers are by far the most convenient and easy to use. Best of all, they are relatively inexpensive for what you can accomplish with them. Foam rolling is much like stretching. It is important to take the time to do dynamic stretching before a work out and static stretching afterwards. Far too many people do this very little or NEVER, and they are hindering themselves. I want to change that. My top 3 reasons to buy a foam roller: Trigger Points The trigger points you are releasing while foam rolling are the “knots” in your body formed through tense and overworked muscles. Releasing the trigger points is your body’s natural response to pressure, which allows you to move freely through all planes or movement patterns and enhance recovery after doing so. The first time you do this you may feel discomfort. Just wait until you roll out your iliotibial (IT) band (found on the outside portion of your thigh) and you will know what I mean! It should feel uncomfortable, but not unbearable. Posture Posture can contribute to trigger points and tight muscles from very little to no movement throughout the day.

Foam rolling, also known as self-myofascial release, is a great way to release muscle soreness through trigger points. This method can be produced in different fashions, but a foam roller is by far the most convenient and easy to use. Best of all, foam rollers, like the one pictured above, are relatively inexpensive for what you can accomplish with them.

A foam roller allows you to relax overactive muscles such as neck, back, and shoulder muscles that are never allowed to fully relax while sitting at a desk all day. Foam rolling during or after work allows these muscles to fully relax and improves your posture. Here is one way to relieve tension in your neck: lie on your back with the roller under your neck. Allow your head to rest on

top of the foam roller, feel gentle pressure on your neck, and slowly turn your head to the side. Aim your chin towards your shoulder as you go from side-to-side at a controlled speed. Stress Management De-stress by using a foam roller even when you are not working out. Foam rolling gives you the ability to focus before a workout and gets the blood flowing and

allows you to cool down at the end of your workout. I used foam rolling before activity to get my self focused on the task at hand. It didn’t matter if it was a workout, practice, or game. Then, I used it afterwards as a time to reflect and cool down. So you may be asking yourself, how do I foam roll anyways? Let’s get started. You can use a foam roller on any part of the body, but it’s especially great for your calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and lats (back muscles). Do not roll out a bone or joint. No matter what part of the body you’re focusing on, your goal should be to roll back and forth for 30 seconds to a minute for each muscle group going the entire length of the muscle. Any time you find a sore spot (you’ll know when you do), you should give your best effort to stay there for around 15 seconds in order for the tissue to have time to release. To find those trigger points, improve posture, and de-stress, you should aim to foam roll on a daily basis for 10 to 20 minutes. Even every second day would work. There are multiple other uses for a foam roller including a Joga prop, adding difficulty to stability or strength exercises, and static stretching, but this will get you started and hopefully thinking of using a foam roller!

list.html) and the Canada Reads list (www.cbc.ca/ books/canadareads/index.htm). Today I’ll begin with the winter reading list. Two of the books on the list I have already cited in this column: His Whole Life, by Elizabeth Hay, and Poles Apart, by Terry Fallis. I started two others but did not finish them. Avenue of Mysteries, by John Irving, was the first. Despite the fact that I am just not a John Irving fan, I tried this book as it was touted as being good, but I quit after fewer than 100 pages. It is just not to my liking. Far worse, though, was A Brief History of Seven KillWell, it’s that time of year again when the CBC ings, by Marlon James.

yet rapidly becoming addicted to the medications prescribed for him – all, apparently, in an effort to salvage his marriage, retain his job, and so on. It doesn’t work, of course, and he rapidly spins out of control. Fairly early on in this narrative, he discovers his father’s old handgun and this seems to stimulate him, provoking him into more frenetic activity, risk-taking, and generally abhorrent behaviours. The final section of the book finds David off in some middle Eastern country – the hows and whys of it never really obvious – where the whole thing is finally resolved. For me, much of the book was unrealistic, David’s choices completely illogical, and David himself just thoroughly annoying. I was disappointed. Not to leave you thinking that I have been overcome with grumpiness in 2016, the next book I read from the list was good. The Golden Son, by Shilpi Somaya Gowda, is another book exploring East Indian culture. It centers on two main characters: Anil, the “golden son” of the title, and Leena, his childhood companion. As the eldest son, Anil is expected to assume the mantle of community wise man and arbitrator, but is released from his responsibility for the family farm in order to attend school. This ultimately leads him to medical school and thence to the USA for his medical residency. There the demands of work are compounded by discrimination and culture shock. Meanwhile in India, his friend Leena follows the traditional route for women, marrying and leaving her home for that of what instantly turns out to be an incredibly abusive husband. The dowry demands, and their sequelae, reduce Leena’s parents to indebtedness and penury, while Leena’s husband and in-laws increase her abuse. After being set afire by her husband, Leena does escape, but only to a community in which she is ostracized because of her failure to succeed as a wife. It is yet another description of the depressing status many women still suffer in some societies. Ultimately the two stories – of Anil, torn between all the west has to offer, and Leena, seemingly trapped in much of the worst the old world still clings to – come together, with the resolution perhaps not being exactly what one might expect. Overall I enjoyed the book, although much of it left me shaking my head is dismay.
