Free photos with Santa continue to be a hit
with participants of Santa Day.
he annual Santa Day
celebration hosted by
The Minnedosa Chamber
of Commerce was once
again a huge success.
For two hours on Saturday, December 3rd, a
steady stream of children
lined-up at the Minnedosa
Community Conference
Centre for their turn to
meet Santa, tell him what
they want for Christmas
and have their photo taken
on his lap.
Local Photographer,
Denis of Photoz by Dez
and his elf helper, Deb,
captured the children’s
visit with Santa with the
Chamber providing one
free 4 x 6 colour print for
families. Throughout the
event, a total of 74 photos
were taken. Photos can be
picked up at The Fashion
House.
In addition to photos
with Santa, children in attendance enjoyed holiday treats, colouring and
other festive activities.
People of all ages enjoyed wagon rides compliments of Minnedosa
Credit Union during Saturday’s Santa Day.
Christmas oranges were
provided to children compliments of Saler’s Backhoe and Trucking with
the Christmas tree used in
the photos on loan from
Minnedosa Home Hardware.
The horse-drawn wagon rides through downtown Minnedosa were enjoyed by people of all ages.
The wagon rides were provided by Bruce Sharpe and
compliments of Minnedosa Credit Union.
“It’s always so awesome to see the hayrides
going past,” said Chamber representative and local business owner, Beth
McNabb. “It really enhances the day.”
In the MCCC canteen,
students from the 2012
MCI Grad Class provided
lunch as a grad fundraiser
and raised a total of $83.00.
“The Chamber is happy to provide the grad committee with this opportunity to support their cause,”
mentioned Beth.
Besides the Santa Day
activites at MCCC, this annual event gives people an
opportunity to visit local
businesses and do some
Christmas shopping in the
Minnedosa business district.

opened Annie, its
13th musical, to a packed
house Thursday evening,
November 24th at the
WMCA in Brandon. The
story of precociously optimistic orphan trying to
fi nd her family in depression-era America, Annie
features the well-known
songs Hard-Knock Life and
Tomorrow, and is a story
everyone can relate to.
Annie ran from Thursday, November 24th until
Sunday, November 27th,
with a rehearsal matinee
for over 800 Brandon and
area students Thursday afternoon. Although Mecca
has staged Annie before,
the 2011 version features
many new aspects for audiences to enjoy, such as
a revised script and a new
song.
Performers from communities across western Manitoba including
Souris, Rivers, Minnedosa
and Erickson had travelled
for weekend rehearsals
since early September in
preparation for opening
night. More than 60 young
girls, from Grade 1 to
Grade 9, were members of
the orphan chorus and the
lead role of Annie went to
Jessica Granger and Avery
Praznik.
With two diff erent
casts, audiences were given
a glimpse into two similar,
yet unique interpretations
of the story. “It turns the
show into an entirely different experience,” agreed
Minnedosa cast member,
Janice Dalton. “For example, the character of Daddy
Warbucks was portrayed in
two very unique ways by
two people, and both were
incredible.”
Janice has been performing in community
theatre since she was a
child, but this was her first
time working with Mecca.
“Th at was my first time
on the Westman stage. It
was terrifying. I got the
shakes lots of times, but
the people there are really
supportive and encouraging.” Janice played Miss
Hanigan, the cruel owner
of the orphanage where
Annie lives. “That was fun.

Traditional cards preferred...
Shop local, shop Canadian
By DARRYL HOLYK
T
he frantic Christmas shopping season is underway
with everyone hurrying to fi nd the perfect gift for
everyone on their gift-giving list.
While Christmas has sadly, over the years become
more about the biggest, most expensive, commercially
bought gifts, remember the real meaning of Christmas
is simply giving back and caring for one another. Instead of high priced gifts, which only hurt the pocketbook, consider some of the less expensive and unique
gift ideas out there. Everyone can use gift certificates
from a local hair salon or restaurant. Homemade gift
certificates providing the recipient with a gift from you
throughout the years are another option some people
are leaning towards this season. Maybe this is a homemade gift card informing the recipient that you will
mow their lawn next summer or shovel snow off their
walk this winter. The ideas here are endless, get creative and have some fun with it.
Over the past few weeks, and again in today’s edition, the Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce is encouraging local shopping by providing shoppers with
a “Locally Found Gifts” two-page spread of Christmas
gift ideas. Gifts, in all price ranges and available right
here in our local Minnedosa businesses, are advertised as part of this annual promotion. I know there
are certain things which cannot be found locally, but
I strongly urge you to check what is available locally
before heading out-of-town to support out-of-town
businesses and communities. If you can buy it locally,
please do. Once you take your shopping dollars out
of our community, they are gone from our community forever. By spending those dollars here at home,
they stay in the community and are circulated to other
businesses, programs and fundraisers that support the
continued growth and success of our community and
its residents. Help support our local business district
so that our business owners can keep their doors open
providing jobs and the opportunity to give back to the
community through sponsorships and donations. If
you really want to support your community this holiday season, make a pledge to only exchange locally
bought gifts this holiday season.
Another option to consider this year is to purchase only Canadian-made products and supporting
our country’s economy. An email has been circulating
recently encouraging shoppers not to purchase foreign manufactured items, whether it’s the gift itself or
the wrapping paper and bows.
A printout of this email was recently sent to me
by a reader, obviously concerned about the number
of people who do not shop local throughout the year.
I will close with the words this citizen included in
their letter, “Thousands of dollars leaving the community while businesses struggle to keep going here.
Seems a real shame. Do people not care about the
town they live in?”
Pic of the week...
In this day and age of email and social media, I was
a bit shocked to read that 87% of young Canadians (ages
18 to 24) still prefer to receive traditional Christmas cards
over electronic holiday greetings. These are the fi ndings of a recent survey and I must say I agree. I would
much rather receive an actual Christmas card to open
rather than a message typed and sent from a phone or
computer.

only one? If they believed
the petition had no validity, it should also have
been disregarded in our
hearing. They have granted
every Conditional Use Application but ours. Is this
how they fulfi ll their Oath
of Office to make decisions
impartially and without favouritism? (We did receive
support from some ratepayers and Council Members and we thank them
for that support.)
I also wonder why
ratepayers who are so passionately opposed to our
Conditional Use Application are not opposing every
Conditional Use applied
for. Do they feel that they
have made their opinion
known to Council and that
after our Conditional Use
was denied, Council had
set a new precedent for denying Conditional Use Orders and would continue
to deny Conditional Use
Orders.
I must confess
that I am confused.
It is my understanding
in researching the zoning
by-law, the only issue that
may aff ect these types of
developments is with the
required (and reciprocal) separation distances
between livestock operations and dwellings. In
the case of my proposed
development, all the adjacent landowner’s existing
dwellings would have had
the same effect as they are
all in close proximity to
my land. The individuals
who “objected” had dwellings which would have
the same eff ect under the
by-law; was this taken into
consideration by Council?
Were the landowners who
signed the petition aware
of this? Was Mark Saler
aware of this? I think not.
It may be noted that there
were no large adjacent
livestock operations in the
assigned area (in the zoning by-law) which would
be affected.
I have been made
aware that some of the
petitioners did not realize
what they were signing.
They had been led to believe that they were signing
a petition against a multiple housing development.
TO BE CLEAR- there was
no intent to establish a
multiple housing development; just a request to
establish a dwelling in the
R.M. of Saskatchewan, on
our lawfully purchased,
already created parcel of
6.31A, which was created
long before the enacting
of the current zoning bylaw but, was required to
be “jumped through the
regulatory hoops” to bring
this existing parcel of land
and its proposed dwelling
into conformance with the
existing by-law. Not one
of the Council members
asked what information
Mark Saler had presented
to people when he was
soliciting their signatures.
If Council has also been
alerted to the possible dis-
parity between what Mark
Saler was presenting to
ratepayers and what had
actually been applied for,
would it not be prudent
to revisit the decision they
made in our Conditional
Use Hearing?
It was our understanding that in this great country called Canada a person
could lawfully purchase
property and build a home
to live in. Apparently not!
If you are in the R.M. of
Saskatchewan, when the
property is deemed to be
a “non-farm site” and the
applicant is Lynn Forbes.
We will be in attendance at the Thompson
hearing on December 8th
to see what unfolds. I am
often asked why I continue
to pursue this issue. There
is a quote my mom always
used that states it best.
“Th e ultimate measure of a man is not where
he stands in moments of
comfort and conveniences, but where he stands
at times of challenge and
controversy.”
Some people have
said that the decision
made by Council in our
hearing does not affect
them. I disagree. If you
say nothing now, what
happens when it is you?
How would you feel if this
was a family member or a
friend that had moved into
a new area? The appearance of “discrimination”
or personal intolerance in
this situation concerns me
greatly. IS IT NOT just this
type of discrimination that
was at the heart of the Second World War?

Vintage passenger
cars a nostalgic
reminder
Dear Editor,
D
espite the cold night that it was, the Canadian Pacific
Holiday train brought real excitement to Minnedosa
last Sunday night. The dazzle of all the fl ashing lights on it
was matched by Tracey Brown and company’s boisterous,
crystal-clear rendition of Jingle Bells to start the show.
I think that an over-looked area of the train is the four
vintage Canadian Pacific passenger cars at the end of it to
carry the performers and crew. Those four cars, dating to
about 1930, have enchanting names – Dominion, Banffshire, Killarney and observation car Van Horne. They’re
a reminder of what it was like when Minnedosa had passenger trains and they rolled through here on a regular
basis.

Regional Events Centre
(MREC) launches its website today, Friday, December 9th.
The website, found at
minnedosasportsplex.ca
will include all information
and updates related to the
MREC project.
“The website has been
set-up to communicate
the activities of MREC to
people beyond Minnedosa,” said Economic Development Officer, Sandra
Ingenmey. “MREC is a regional project that will benefit the whole region, not
just Minnedosa.”
The website, created by
IMG of Brandon, features
an area for sponsorships,
where the various sponsorship and naming opportu-

nities are explained.
The MREC committee has designed customized sponsorship packages
for individual businesses,
service clubs and organizations interested in supporting the project. The
sponsorship
committee
will meet with potential
sponsors and develop a
plan to meet each sponsor
needs for the best overall
return on investment and
return on opportunity.
There is also an interactive area for MREC
tours. Here, visitors can
see the layout of the MREC
grounds as well as the new
multi-use double arena
building. As you slide your
mouse over each area on
these maps, an informative description of the area
pops up on the screen.
Under the tours tab, visitors can also watch digital
video walk-through of the
MREC grounds and facility. This presentation was
created by the project’s architect and first shown at
this summer’s public information meeting. The entire
information package from
this public meeting is also
available for viewing on
the website.
Fundraising to date
($97,993.00), as well as information on how to donate to MREC is also available on the website, which
will be frequently updated.

Schools send delegates to We Day
By AMANDA BOYD
A
n awe-inspiring 16,000
people,
including
over 53 students and staff
from MCI and TCS, attended We Day at the MTS
Centre in Winnipeg last
Wednesday,
November
23rd. Based on the belief
that young people can create change, We Day began
in 2007. That year, youth
from across North America came together for the
fi rst time to discover new
passions, learn about the
world around them and
celebrate their successes.
We Day launches a
year-long program called
‘We Schools’. The program
inspires a generation of socially conscious and compassionate young leaders,
and provides them with
tangible life skills to become active members of
their local and global communities. We Schools is designed to enhance schools’
existing programs in service learning, character
education and volunteerism. Through the program,
school communities are
transformed by positive
changes in student behaviour, heightened student
engagement and the belief
that it’s cool to care. As
part and parcel of the We
Schools program, Free the
Children provides schools
with an expansive network
of support that includes
curriculum
resources,
school-based
speaking
tours, youth mentors, summer leadership academies
and international volunteer trips. The We Schools
program ensures that We
Day is not merely a oneday event but a full schoolyear program for change.
“We Day is about getting a bunch of people involved in a nation-wide
movement and going from
‘me’ to ‘we’,” explained Gillian Lewis, CHANGE Vice
President & Public Relations. “A whole bunch of
diff erent schools came together and as a group did
something big.”
“A lot of the website’s
projects include what the
CHANGE group was already doing,” added Mrs.
Alexander, who organized
the trip. “So the school administration really saw it as
an opportunity to get even
more students involved
and fulfi ll its mandate of
instilling local and global
citizenship.”
During the day, students and staff were able to
hear from some of the leading innovators in social
change, such as Al Gore,
Mia Farrow, Paul Martin
and Rick Hansen. Musical
performances were given
by Shawn Desman, Sierra
Noble and Hedley and the
energy in the building was
palpable.
“I thought it was
great,” remarked MCI Student Council Co-President, Gordie Ross. “Everyone was really excited
to be there, there were
some really moving speakers. Th ey made people
aware of what’s going on
in other countries around
the world and wanting to
help.”
“Not knowing much
about We Day going into
the city, I didn’t really know
what to expect,” Mr. Ridgen
remarked, “but to see the
energy in the building and
the motivation for students
to get involved and make a
positive change was not
only interesting to watch,
but also really inspiring
for me. To see our kids really excited about making a
change. Now the next step
is to put that plan into action and I’m excited to see
what the kids will come up
with.”
Mrs. Barrett’s pleasure was two-fold, she explained. “I got to watch
two different groups of students experience We Day.
Th e CHANGE group has
already been doing work
like this so We Day was
somewhat of a pat on the
back for them and the programs offer assistance and
resources for what they are
already trying to do. We’ve
had so much support from
the community that to add
another level of support is
just extra foundation for
them to build on. The other group of kids, who may
not have been involved
with CHANGE before but
want to help somehow, got
to see that they can make a

difference. As Mia Farrow
quoted, ‘This is the generation I’ve been waiting for
to make a lot of change.’ I
think she was right. The
things you see these kids
do, the money they have
raised for various projects,
is awesome.”
Students who were not
able to attend were able to
watch the We Day celebrations on TV in their class-
Minnagro would like to take
this time to wish everybody a
safe, happy and healthy

On December 21st we experience the
longest night of the year.
In contrast to all the Christmas bustle and
joy around us, this darkness makes some
people feel heightened feelings of
grief or sadness, pain or loneliness, stress
or anxiety that may be associated with past
experiences or present circumstances.
Come and join us for a quiet and
reﬂective time.

with what CHANGE is already doing,” said Gillian,
“so we’re just going to keep
doing what we do.”

Onanole School supports Fair Trade
By AMANDA BOYD
O
nanole Elementary
School held its annual Fair Trade fundraiser last Thursday afternoon, December 1st.
Junior High students
manned the booths while
students, staff and community members perused
the many handcrafted
and organic produce that
made for great holiday
gifts. The purpose of the
sale was, “to bring awareness to our community
about socially responsible buying,” stated Principal, Laurie Bachewich.
Grade 7 student, Jordan Kondratiew, sold
her homemade beaded
bracelets at the event.
The $70.00 raised from
these bracelets will be
donated to Free the Children. “Free the Children
is an organization run by
Craig and Marc Kielburger,” Jordan explained.
“They help free child labourers, build schools,
and help educate kids.”
Art with Heart by
Hayley and Josie Nichols
raised $65.00 for the Samaritan House and several fair trade products
were provided by The
Marquis Project, such as
organic chocolate, tea,
and coffee. The sale of
these items raised over
$1,000.00. “Half of the
money is going to go the
Marquis Project and half
will go to the school, remarked Grade 8 student,
Isaac Hoogstraten. “The
school will donate it to a
charity, but we haven’t
decided yet which charity
we’re going to give to.”
Thursday’s sale was
all about bringing awareness of fair trade to the
community and making
people cognizant about
how and where the products they buy are produced.
The students
working at the fundraiser
were extremely knowledgeable, not only about
their products, but also
why it is important to
support programs such
as The Marquis Project
and Free the Children.
Onanole School continues to encourage socially
responsible citizenship
and the students can only
stand to benefit from this
global perspective.

Holiday Train spreading festive holiday cheer
A large crowd of people, including a number of children in the front row,
enjoyed music and more during the Holiday Train’s visit to Minnedosa.
By DARRYL HOLYK
A
large crowd of people
of all ages, bundled
up and braved the brisk
weather Sunday night to
witness the 2011 Canadian Pacific Holiday Train as
it rumbled into Minnedo-
sa shortly before 8 p.m.
Featuring 14 cars
festively decorated in
thousands of illuminated
Christmas lights, the Holiday Train lit up the tracks
as it rolled through the
community following an
appearance in Portage la
Prairie Sunday afternoon.
A number of families of local CP employees enjoyed
the trek from Portage to
Minnedosa, riding along
in the train’s traditional
passenger cars. During
this journey, passengers
were treated to music,
cookies and hot chocolate.
The train arrived west
of Minnedosa’s historic
CP station to the cheers of
the crowd which gathered
to witness the Holiday
Train on its fifth visit to the
community since 2002. As
Christmas music blared
from the loud speakers, the north wall of the
stage boxcar lowered and
Canadian music legends
Valdy and Tracey Brown
appeared, performing a
number of festive tunes
which had the crowd singing and dancing along.
In addition to the live
music, the main purpose
of the CP Holiday Train is
to raise money and awareness for Food Banks and
their importance in communities. During Sunday’s
stop in Minnedosa, CP
presented the Minnedosa
and Area Food Bank with
a donation of $2,000.00.
Since 2002, the CP Holiday Train has donated a
total of $11,200.00 to the
local Food Bank. In addition to CP’s generous do-
nation, local Food Bank
volunteers raised money
and non-perishable food
items from spectators.
Th ese donations have
been passed on to the
Minnedosa
Christmas
Cheer Board to assist in
the preparation of this
year’s Christmas hampers.
Th e Holiday Train
made its first journey
across the country in 1999
and visits over 140 communities each year. Over
the years, this festive train
of lights has raised over
$5.6 million and 2.45 million pounds of food for
community food banks.
While he usually rides on a reindeer-drawn
sleigh, Santa hitched a ride on the CP Holiday
Train and visited with spectators in Minnedosa.

Minor Hockey Report
Rapid City Chutes ‘n’ Boots 4-H Rodeo Club
By JODIE DAVIS
Reporter
W
e met for our second meeting this
month and due to such
great weather we were
able to go outside in the
barn to do some horserelated activities. Susan
had made ten tasks for us
to do. We were split into
two teams to do it. Some
of the tasks were brushing in the right order and
cleaning feet out as well
as recognizing parts of
the horse. My favourite
was riding tandem backto-back bareback. Thank
you Susan for making it a
fun night.
Our business meeting also took place. Katie
gave us the area report
and matters of interest
were the sleepover at the
museum and the archery
planned for next year, as
well as Stock Fest being
reintroduced at Carman.
We are planning our
Christmas Party out at
Ski Valley with a fun day
skiing, a Christmas gift
exchange and a potluck
lunch. Westman Ski and
Board Club let us use
their Chalet.
We will be in Rapid
City on the evening of December 22nd carol singing. We are excepting donations for the food bank.
We finally came to
a decision on our Club
name. It is to be Rapid
City Chutes ‘n’ Boots 4-H
Rodeo Club. We are available for any jobs, small or
large to raise money for
our club. Contact can be
made through our Head
Leader Ann Hunter.
Books were handed
out so let’s not leave them
until the last minute. Try
and work on them a little
every week. We plan on
some book work at each
meeting but if we are to
get guest speakers in we
may not have enough
time.
Merry Christmas to
all!

e extend best wishes
to Irene Birch who
is presently in Minnedosa
Hospital. Her daughter,
Bev McPherson of Athabasca, is here visiting with
her Mom, and her Dad
Ronnie and brother Elvin
and Linda Birch and their
family. Our thoughts are
with you Irene.
Visiting with Eileen
Bradley and Hilda Davies
Sunday, November 27th
were Bernice (Gill) and Peter Olson of Rapid City and
Carol and Wallace Olson of
Bethany. They all enjoyed
the delicious pickerel fry at
the Leisure Inn and were
also visiting with several
other folks they knew from
the area.
Saturday, December
13
3rd had a good crowd out
to enjoy the Newdale Raven’s Glen WI Christmas
Bake Sale and Coffee Party
held at the Drop-In. It’s always a nice way to get an
early start on the Christmas baking and to enjoy a
visit with members of the
community who support
this worthwhile cause.
Winner of the door prize,
a musical Christmas snow
globe, was Margaret Ann
Howard.
Newdale friends of
Viola McCutcheon of
Strathclair were saddened
to hear of her passing last
week in Minnedosa Hospital. We extend sincere
sympathy to her family.
Congratulations
to
Randy and Heather Woywada and their children,
on the arrival of a new
baby daughter and sister.
Also congratulations to the
proud grandparents, Brian
and Sherry Woywada and
Janet (Mason) and Alan
Riley, a new “pink” bundle

Ag report...
By ELMER KASKIW
T
he recent severe fluctuation in temperature
is causing all sorts of problems for producers feeding freshly weaned calves.
Th is temperature change
along with high winds has
seen temperatures move
from the mid -30 degree
mark one day to above 0
temperatures within 24
hours. This change in temperature is resulting in increased reports of pneumonia in calves as well as
an increased number of
calves experiencing free
gas bloat.
Free-gas bloat generally occurs very rapidly and
provides little warning for
treatment. Free-gas bloat
is not unusual and typically accounts for less than
10 per cent of the cases
of feedlot bloat. Irregular
feed intake, inhibition of
the nerves controlling the
contractions of the rumen
walls, and physical obstruction of the esophagus
are the main causes of free
gas bloat. Irregular feed
intake usually results from
rapidly changing weather,
uneven feeding intervals,
illness such as pneumonia
resulting from mild grain
overload, a change in the
diet, unpalatable feed resulting from spoilage, or
an interruption in the supply of salt or water. Most of
these conditions result in
increased or excess acidity in the lower gut which
inhibits rumen movement. If rumen movement is inhibited freegas bloat might develop.
Th e vagus nerves,
which connects the rumen
wall to the central nervous
system, is responsible for
the proper operation of the
rumen. When functioning
properly the vagus nerve
conveys information from
the nerve sensors in the
rumen wall to the brain
centres and transmits signals from the brain for the
control of the muscles in
the rumen wall. If the vagus nerves are damaged,
information transferred to
and from the rumen can
be impaired. Depending
on the severity of the damage, rumen function can
FRANKLIN NEWS
be aff ected to various degrees. Mild damage may
not be visible in an animal,
whereas severe damage
may cause an animal to
suff er from chronic bloat,
feed impaction, lack of appetite, or a combination
of these symptoms. The
cause of nerve damage or
vagal indigestion is often
diffi cult to determine, but
is usually related to inflammation of the lining of the
rumen. Most often this is
a result of “hardware disease” where an ingested
wire or nail punctures the
rumen wall and inflames
the lining. Cattle that have
overcome or are suffering from severe respiratory disease can also suffer
from chronic feedlot bloat
as a result of damage to
the vagal nerve. This is why
we are likely seeing an increase in the level of free
gas bloat in feedlot animals over the last number
of weeks.
Calves are more prone
to chronic free-gas bloat
than are older animals. If
the attachment of the rumen to the esophagus is
not properly aligned, re- By BERYL PARROTT

HELEN POLLON
NOVEMBER 26, 2011
Helen Pollon, of Minnedosa, MB, passed away on November 26,
2011, at the age of 93 years.
Helen was born in Minnedosa, Manitoba and continued to reside
in Minnedosa until her passing. Helen devoted her life to her family.
Helen and her husband, Victor, farmed west of Clanwilliam, MB,
until they both retired in 1975. At this time they moved permanently
to the house in Minnedosa.
While farming, Helen and Vic enjoyed entering contests in the
annual Minnedosa Fair. Helen won many times for her beautiful
crocheting and embroidery work, while Vic won many times for his
barley and grain.
Helen loved to garden. She grew beautiful vegetables and flowers
on the farm, as well as wild flowers, rose bushes, etc. at their cottage
in Onanole, MB, and in the yard in Minnedosa.
Helen was pre-deceased by her husband Victor in 1998 and her
daughter Faye Burton (Pollon) in 2005.
Left to mourn her are her daughter Jeanette Kiraly (Pollon) and
son-in-law Ken Kiraly, of Winnipeg, MB, son-in-law Brent Burton
of Binscarth, MB, granddaughter Linda Dent and husband George
Taylor of Calgary, AB, grandson Mark Burton and wife Nikki of
Russell, MB, granddaughters Pam Burton of Russell, MB, and Carrie
Burton of Winnipeg, MB, brother and sister-in-law Charlie and
Lorna Hoggins of Minnedosa, MB, sisters Carrie Swift of Winnipeg,
MB, and Ruby Woodward of Pilot Mound, MB, sister-in-law Kaye
Pollon of Winnipeg, MB and many nieces, nephews and greatgrandchildren.
A private family service was held on December 1st, 2011 at the
Minnedosa Funeral Chapel, with Pastor Natasha Pearen officiating.
A special Thank You to Frank and Lorraine Kiraly and John and
Agnes Zushman for the flowers and baking sent to the funeral
chapel.
A very special Thank you to all the nursing staffs at the Minnedosa
Hospital and the Minnedosa Personal Care Home, who took such
wonderful care of Helen during her stay.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Minnedosa
Personal Care Home, or the Canadian Cancer Society. x

A
lthough there was no
snow on the ground,
holiday spirits were not
dampened at this year’s
Winnipeg Santa Claus Parade. Dating back to 1909,
this annual event draws
60,000 people from the
city and surrounding area
downtown to celebrate
the spirit of the season.
With an additional 50,000
households watching the
festivities on live television, the parade shows
no signs of slowing down.
Although Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP)
has attended many special
events over the years, the
Winnipeg Santa Claus Parade is a first. According
to Public Outreach Education Officer with RMNP,
Rosemarie Péloquin, the
Winnipeg parade seemed
to be a perfect fit this year.
“RMNP has gained experience in attending parades
in communities around
the park for the past few
summers. I thought we
could try an urban centre.
We interpreted their theme
- ‘Magic of the Season’ - to
fit with our centennial celebrations and the magic
of our parks and sites in
the winter. It was great to
work with the Manitoba
Field Unit and the Service
Center as well to make
it a Parks Canada float
and to build on that team
spirit,” explains Péloquin.
Ambassadors for Riding Mountain National
Park, Wapusk National
Park, Lower Fort Garry,
The Forks, St. Andrew’s
Rectory, Riel House, York
Factory, and the East Gate
Registration Complex were
joined by friends and family to share smiles and holiday wishes with the thou-
sands of spectators lining
the streets of downtown
Winnipeg. Of course not
to be forgotten, Parka, the
mascot for Parks Canada
also enjoyed the beautiful
weather and shared many
hugs and high fives with
young and old. A crucial
member of the team from
RMNP was Interpreter
Patrick McDermott. Not
only did he assist in organizing and preparing the
float for the parade, he
also captured many holiday smiles taking photos
all while keeping a close
eye on Parka, making sure
she was keeping up the
pace. “What a great experience... I was proud to
be a part of the team representing Parks Canada at
the 2011 Winnipeg Santa
Parade. It was great to see
Parka the beaver highfiving hundreds of smiling
kids, and the newly- ‘win-
terized’ float turned out
great - complete with the
northern lights! We eventually had around 20 volunteers, which was great
to see, young and old alike.
It was also great to see the
historic costumes from
the National Historic sites
of Manitoba. Overall, a
great festive way to contribute to the celebration
of Parks Canada’s 100th
anniversary,”
explains
a beaming McDermott.
Members of the float
building team captured
the magic of the winter
season in RMNP complete
with snow covered trees,
colourful northern lights,
winter wildlife, and of
course a warm and inviting
campfire perfect for roasting marshmallows. The
giant moose was a highlight for spectators young
and old, with many children’s eyes widening as
he made his way through
the crowd. In addition to
spreading a little holiday
cheer, the float also reminded thousands people
from Manitoban’s largest
urban centre that a number of National Historic
Sites and National Parks
are indeed open to visitors in the winter as well.
Winter in RMNP is truly
a magical time. Whether
sipping on hot chocolate
at the Friends Learning
Centre, skating under the
twinkling lights as you
wind your way through the
snow covered trees on the
skating path, of exploring
with friends and guides on
skis or snowshoes over the
holidays, there are many
wonderful winter memories waiting to be made.

Season’s thievings
SUBMITTED
T
he busiest retail season
of the year has already
begun and with an increase in
financial transactions comes
an increase in opportunities
for fraud artists. This year,
keep your holiday shopping
joyous by taking a few extra
precautions:
Shopping in person:
* Even though you will
be rushed and thinking
about a thousand things,
try to remain alert to your
surroundings.
* When paying with a
credit or debit card, never
lose sight of your card.
Whenever possible, swipe
your card yourself rather
than giving it to the cashier.
* Always shield your PIN
when entering it. Don’t be
embarrassed – you’re not
insulting anyone.
* Do not keep a written
record of your bank PIN
number(s) or your social
insurance number in your
wallet or hand bag.
* If you suspect anything
unusual when using a pointof-sale terminal (pin pad)
or an ATM, do not use
the machine and report it
immediately to the police or
the financial institution.
Shopping on-line:
* Shop only from your
home computer and equip it
with the latest web browser.
Using your home computer
is much safer than shopping
at a terminal in an internet
café or library.
* If you plan to buy
something, go directly to a
store’s website by manually
typing its address into your
web browser. Don’t click on
links in an e-mail message
even if you know who sent
it.
* Verify secure connections.
When shopping on-line,
do not enter any financial
information if you see a
broken-key or open padlock
symbol on your Internet
browser. This means the
transaction is not secure
and could be intercepted by
a third party. When the key
is complete or the padlock
is locked, your browser
is indicating a secure
transaction.
* Consider using a
reliable third-party payment
company such as PayPal,
a credit card with a low
credit limit or a single-use
payment card.
* Unlike secure order
forms on a web site, e-mail
messages are not private.
Do not send confidential
personal
or
financial
information by e-mail.
* When browsing auction
sites or unauthorized retail
websites,
be
cautious
of drastic sale prices on
sought-after designer items
and popular electronics. The
legitimate goods are rarely
discounted.
* Monitor your bank and
credit card and statements
on-line.
Electronic
statements allow you to
review your purchases and
payments as they happen
rather than waiting until the
end of the month to review
your
paper
statement.
Immediately report any
discrepancies to your bank
or to the company that
issued the credit card.
Other tips:
* Promptly remove mail
from your mailbox after
delivery and do not leave
pieces of mail lying around
your residence or office.
* Shred or otherwise
destroy pre-approved credit
card applications, credit
card receipts, bills and
any documents containing
personal information when
they’re no longer needed.
* Do not provide personal
information such as your
SIN, date of birth, credit
card numbers, or PIN over
the telephone or via e-mail.
There are more secure
methods for providing this
valuable information when
it is legitimately required
* Avoid mail or telephone
solicitations disguised as
promotions.
Criminals
involved in this type of
scam typically offer you an
instant prize or an award
for the purpose of obtaining
personal information, such
as your credit card numbers.
This holiday season, be a
Scrooge with your personal
information. If, despite your
best efforts, you feel you’ve
been victimized by a scam
or a fraud, you should report
it immediately to the police
service of jurisdiction in
your area.
