New numbers from the Interlake-Eastern RHA show there are 24 vacancies in the region, while 18 months ago there were just three. Progressive Conservative Health Critic Myrna Driedger said she was shocked to hear about the spike in vacancies. “Are you serious?” Driedger asked at the start of a phone interview. The Tribune asked Driedger to comment after it discovered the new numbers, but Driedger was initially hesitant to respond, saying she thought there may have been an error. “I’m absolutely stuck for words as to what to even say,” Driedger said. “I’m floored.” Driedger said she’s never heard of a health authority having so many new physician vacancies in such a short period of time. “To me that raises red flags, and tells me that there’s something seriously wrong,” Driedger said. “Those numbers are just absolutely staggering.” Driedger said although the Interlake-Eastern RHA is short 24 doctors on paper, it would actually take 30 physicians to fill all vacancies in the Interlake, because many doctors are only working on a part-time basis. Driedger accused the province of allowing the Interlake’s doctor shortage to get out of control. She said Interlake residents have good reason to be worried about the quality of care they are receiving. “With that kind of a shortage, obviously there is going to be a profound effect on patient care,” Driedger said. Health Minister Sharon Blady said she was disappointed to hear about the rise in vacancies over the last year-and-a-half. “We are disappointed there has been an increase in vacancies, but are committed to continuing to work with the region to ensure Manitoba families in the Interlake have quality health care,” Blady said in a emailed statement to the Record. “I know the region has been working very hard to recruit new doctors and we support their ongoing efforts.” The Health Authority said its vacancy numbers are now higher due to a more robust reporting system it has enacted. “The way in which we report vacancies now is a little different than the way we did it before,” said acting chief executive officer Ron Van Denakker in a phone interview. “It’s just a tighter way of reporting.” The Health Authority’s regional manager of physician services said the Interlake-Eastern RHA’s old reporting system was changed, because it didn’t include doctors who were working on a fee-forservice basis. “We didn’t feel it was an accurate enough picture for our communities and the public to look only at the contract physicians,” said Lorri Beer in a phone interview. The Interlake-Eastern RHA disputes Driedger’s claim that 30 doctors are needed to fill vacancies in the region. Beer said physician vacancies fluctuate regularly, which makes number reporting a tricky task. “It’s very difficult to really, mathematically do a head count of the number of physicians required,” Beer said. tribune file photo by dave baxter Progressive Conservative Health Critic Myrna Driedger said the number of physician vacancies in the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority is “staggering.” Michelle Gawronsky, president of the Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union said emergency medical staff are directly impacted by the doctor shortage. She said increased pressure is placed on paramedics when there are no doctors in emergency rooms, because they have to drive patients further. “It’s got a major affect on our EMS members,” Gawronsky said. Van Denakker said the Interlake-Eastern RHA has plans to hire doctors in communities like Ashern soon. “We recruit everyday,” he said.

Brass is a Grade 12 student at Warren Collegiate Institute (WCI) and wants people to know because he is in foster care, and has been since before he turned one year-old, says there is nothing he needs to be ashamed of or feel different about. “My main goal to share my story to other people and I want to let people know it is alright to be in care. There is nothing wrong with it and there are people out there that are willing to love you and have you in their family and treat you well,” said Brass. “I really want to make a change in how people see the foster care system.” Staff at WCI, which have several students currently in the foster care system, have been taking steps to offering support for their students. In October the school hosted a play about by Voices: Manitoba’s Youth in Care Network the foster care system brought to the school.

Get to know your heart during heart month By Marney Blunt It’s important to look after your health 365 days a year, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation highlights that during February’s ‘Heart Month’, which aims to raise awareness and funds for life-saving research on heart disease. And in recognition of Heart Month, the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (RHA) wants Interlake residents to know the key factors in prevention, warning signs and heart disease management, so you can work towards having healthy heart year round. “The importance of educating on heart health is important anytime of the year, while February is a good Stephen Breton target month, it’s important all year round.” said Beryl Dziedzic, a nurse practitioner with the Interlake-Eastern RHA in Lundar and Eriksdale. “The heart is the pump that drives our bodies, so if we can keep it healthy, it’s the biggest part to keeping everything working.” Dziedzic says being aware of and implementing healthy lifestyle tactics is the best way to prevent heart disease. Diet, exercise, watching and controlling your blood pressure levels and cholesterol levels can all help to keeping a healthy heart, she says. There are also certain heart disease warning signs people should be aware of, although Dziedzic says the signs and symptoms often vary from person-to-person. “They sort of differ in some ways, the Realtor® Buying, Selling, or Building… “We’re with you all the way” D Y N A M I C R E A L E S TAT E INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED 204-999-2460 [email protected] Living and serving the Interlake and Winnipeg! heart attack is sort of the heart muscle not getting enough blood and then becoming damaged,” said Dziedzic. “It can be chest pain that people recognize, it might not be chest pain; and women do show up differently then men. Very few heart attacks are the traditional symptoms. The most common that people think of is clenching chest pain and down they go. Sometimes it could be anything from just that indigestion feeling to a sore tooth.” The nurse practitioner says in her previous practice she has seen cases where the only symptom the patient was experiencing was a sore elbow, which turned out to be a heart attack. Other symptoms that are mostly likely to be noticed include chest pain, nausea, sweating and generally feel- ing unwell. Dziedzic says the symptoms of a stroke can also be extremely varied, and some of the more common symptoms include sudden weakness in a limb, difficulty moving that limb, uncoordination, dizziness, difficulty speaking or garbling words, drooping of one side of the mouth etc. “The Heart and Stroke Foundation does put out advertisements for what warning signs are,” added Dziedzic. “It is a very personal sort of disease, in terms of how they show up. It’s very individualized.” If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or think you may be experiencing a heart attack or stroke, Dziedzic says to call 911 immediately. “People might look at the cost of the ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION STONEWALL BRANCH - 467-2261 Lic #418 CHASE THE QUEEN ON WED NIGHT held in the HALL 19,831 – as of February 12th $ 2400 McPHILLIPS ST.

After the federal government announced in April 2012 that they would no longer control management of community pastures on the prairies through their Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) program, the provincial government formed the AMCP to continue with the management. In other provinces, such as Saskatchewan, the community pastures were available for sale or lease to patrons but the Province of Manitoba wanted to ensure that producers would continue to have a place for their cattle. “When the federal government made the announcement, we met with the beef producers two years ago to come up with a plan to see how we would proceed. They brought patrons from all the different organizations; producer groups and community pasture groups from across Manitoba. They allowed us to go ahead with an umbrella group that would allow the community pastures to move forward,” said Ross. Funded with $1 million from the province to get AMCP up and running, they have three years to be fully operational. Ross presented the benefits of the AMCP and to get the RM’s commitment in the Woodlands Community Pasture joining AMCP; without it they cannot move forward. Ross said that for the most part the AMCP would continue to operate as the federal governments PFRA program ran. The biggest difference is that under AMCP management the community pastures will not have a breeding program that ran in the winter. “In Manitoba we didn’t have a lot of demand, patrons preferred to bring their own bulls. So a lot of pastures didn’t have a breeding program anyways because patrons brought their own cattle. It was a program for PFRA as a way to keep staff during the winter,” said Ross who added they already have nine pastures operating under AMCP and another five are planned to join this year. The only pasture that so far has decided not to join AMCP is the Portage Community Pasture. They opted instead to working closely with their RM and have formed a co-op. “We were late in getting started so we did lose Portage. They were in on the agreement up until last minute and then they weren’t; they were mad at the government for taking so long to make a decision,” said Ross who added it is not imperative that all community pastures in Manitoba join AMCP but the majority need to in order for the organization to run ef- tribune photo by natasha tersigni General manager of the newly-formed Association of Manitoba Community Pastures Barry Ross, pictured right, met with Woodlands community pasture patron and board member Darren MacMillan and the Woodlands council to discuss the future mof the pasture at last week’s Feb. 10 meeting. ture patron and member of the board fectively. “Woodlands is one of the larger told The Tribune that for the most part more profitable pastures in Manitoba. patrons are on board with joining When we did the business plan it was AMCP. “I think we are basically supportincluded, and we ask a commitment from you guys to know what we were ing this.

Since Vincent can remember she has been around horses and from a young age she began riding her mother’s horses. At 15 years old, Vincent owned a rescue horse and the two of them went on to be successful at horse shows across the province. Vincent credits her equestrian success with the Stonewall 4-H Equine Club. When she found out that the club had not been operating for the past five years, Vincent wanted to make sure children and youth could have the same positive experiences she did. “I was in 4-H when we used to have it here in Stonewall. Since I stopped going to 4-H they hadn’t really had a club, for the past five years or so. I was actually helping out with the Manitoba Equine Expo and that is how the whole idea came up. We were trying to contact someone for 4-H and found out it is no longer running out here,” said Vincent. > N FAITH ACADEMY SCHOOL “4-H definitely cemented my love for horses. I learned so much through 4-H that I felt I needed to give back and that I needed to share my love for horses with other kids.” The cost for students to join the club will be very minimal. For the entire season it is $60 along with a few fundraising opportunities to help offset any additional costs. “Without 4-H I know a lot of kids would not be able to afford the lessons and the regular up keep of buying or leasing horses,” said Vincent Continued on page 11 CONTACT US Stonewall Teulon Tribune - Interlake Graphics 74 Patterson Drive, Stonewall Industrial Park Phone 467-5836 Fax 467-2679 Letters to the Editor: [email protected] Classified: [email protected] Advertising: [email protected] News: [email protected] STONEWALL CEMETERY MANITOBA HYDRO “We appreciate the advertising support we receive which enables us to print, publish and distribute our community newspaper.

The Stonewall Teulon Tribune Thursday, February 19, 2015 Fire agreement with Woodlands remains in limbo By Natasha Tersigni Non-responsive fire agreement Once again the agreements between the Teulon-Rockwood and StonewallRockwood fire departments and the Woodlands Fire Department are in limbo. Upon receiving the signed agreement from the RM of Woodlands, the town of Teulon’s CAO reported to council that Woodlands had changed the fee schedule of what was originally included in the non-responsive fire agreement between the three fire departments. “When we received the agreement with the RM of Rockwood it was found that the Schedule A, which included the fee rate for the fire service that was included in the agreement was not the Schedule A that we had provided. We had provided a break down in our original discussions on the different fire services based on different kinds of equipment,” said Precourt. The RM of Woodlands included just a flat rate for non-responsive calls, which Mayor Burt Campbell does not agree with considering the amount of equipment the Teulon-Rockwood Fire Department sends to non-responsive calls. “Our fire chief said that when they respond to a virtually unknown situation they go with the ‘whole ball of wax’ and that is the way it is or they don’t go; unless it is a mutual aid call but that is not what we are talking about here,” said Campbell. The agreement will be on-hold until the town can discuss it further with the RM of Rockwood, which will be at the end of the month. Public delegation regarding loader purchase Teulon resident Ted Hodgkinson appeared before council as a delegation regarding the town’s purchase of a new frontend loader with a blade for $141,334, which was approved by council in 2013. After the passing of the by-law in 2013, the by-law went before the Municipal Board as many of the council’s by-laws do for regular oversight. The board found that due to the fact the purchase was not previously stated in the capital budget a public hearing should have been held. The board found that since it was an administration oversight and the town was fiscally sound and the purchase was substantiated, they allowed the by-law to pass. Hodginkson appeared in front of council regarding the report and its outcome. “Unfortunately this is the biggest expenditure that town has paid in the last 15 to 20 years and it was basically done incorrectly,” said Hodgkinson who added with an expenditure such as this which was not stated in the capital budget during that year’s budget meeting an additional public hearing should have been held to address the purchase. 7 While Hodgkinson said he does not have an issue with the town’s purchase of a loader to be used for snow removal he did not approve of how the town conducted the purchase. “I think it was a fantastic deal. It is just a process,” said Hodgkinson. The council took Hodgkinson’s information under advisement. Sidewalk plans Councillor Jim Dola, who chairs the town’s public works committee, announced plans for new sidewalk construction that will begin in the spring. The sidewalk construction, which will be implemented as part of phase two of the town’s active transportation plan, includes a sidewalk on Beach Road from First Street North East to Third Street North East; on Eight Avenue South East to connect to the sidewalk on Main Street and on First South East from the park to connect to the already existing sidewalk. Manitoba road fatalities continue to decline By Jeff Ward Manitoba road fatalities have been steadily decreasing over the years, with 2014 being the lowest year in three decades, according to traffic accident data released today by Manitoba Public Insurance. A total of 70 people were killed on public roadways last year ─ 58 per cent lower than the 30year high of 168 in 1986. “It’s important to remember that these 70 fatalities are people and their loss had a profound impact on countless individuals,” said MaryAnn Kempe, vice-president, Business Development & Communications and Chief Product Officer, Manitoba Public Insurance. “They were wives, sisters, mothers and daughters. They were husbands, brothers, fathers and sons. “While we are very encouraged to see these numbers trending in a positive direction, we must also be very aware that one person dying on our roads is one too many. That’s why we are so committed to doing everything in our power to raise awareness, educate motorists and provide dedicated programs designed to reduce risk on the road.” Education and technology are playing a key role in reducing the number of deaths, whether that education is about distracted driving, being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or just insuring that drivers are aware of how to drive in certain conditions. The RCMP has taken notice as well. “Some of this technology has also created a distraction, but we’re seeing more good than bad right now,” said Paul Human, Community Police Relations for Selkirk RCMP. “Technology has changed impaired driving as well. I volunteer with Operation Red Nose over the holidays and we saw the majority of our clients in the ages of 20-35. They’re staying off the roads after a party and the way we’re connected with our phones, now makes it easier than ever to do so.” Human explained that distracted driving is something he see’s often and that most cars having a screen for a navigational system and people having their phones that the same technology that can help keep you safe, can also be your undoing. Additional preliminary data collected by Manitoba’s public auto insurer also showed there were 10 people killed in 2014 as a result of nine off-road vehicle crashes. That was two fewer deaths than in 2013. “We will continue working with like-minded agencies and partners to advance a message of safety on our roads, added Kempe. “We want to see this downward trend continue. Motorists can be proactive to ensure they arrive at their destination safely. “High-risk driving behaviour is dangerous to everyone. Slowing down, driving to road conditions, refraining from driving while impaired and putting away mobile devices when behind the wheel can truly be the difference between life and death.” Road Safety Stats • 25 people are killed yearly in Manitoba due to distracted driving • About one-third of road fatalities are alcohol related A person is 32 times more likely to be killed and five times more likely to be seriously injured when not wearing a seatbelt. 15023gg13 8 The Stonewall Teulon Tribune Thursday, February 19, 2015 Rockwood Festival of the Arts donates piano to TCI By Natasha Tersigni ers and other logistical items.” When the piano is not being used for the festival in Teulon, where it is held every second year, students under the direction of band director Brandy Bilenki will be able to use it. Currently in the school’s various band programs an electric keyboard is used, but Bilenki explained that does not provide the true authentic sound of a piano does. “This donation means that students that are in the jazz band can have a more authentic jazz experience because you don’t always use an electric keyboard, sometimes you want a real piano instead. An electronic keyboard is trying to mimic the sound of an actual piano. It means that students that are playing piano for jazz band, choir or other band program are going to have a fuller sound,” said Bilenki who added that it would have taken band boosters years to raise the money required to buy a piano of this calibre and that would have not been feasible with all the other equipment and funding needed for the program. Last week students and staff got their first look at the piano when it was unveiled in a school-wide ceremony hosted in the gym. At the Feb. 12 event, also in attendance were festival board members and special guest Claudia Campbell, who the piano was dedicated to at the ceremony. Campbell was part of the first-ever board of directors for the festival in 1956 when the festival first started; she was only 19-years-old. The former Teulon elementary School music teacher then became the president of the festival board in 1957. Over the years Campbell has served on the board as president for 19 years and eight years as vice-president or first president; but her service over the years adds up to more. “Claudia has served on the festival board in some capacity or other, whether it be president, vice-president, piano convener, patronage convener and in other capacities, for a total number of 54 years that she has been participating in the festival,” said Fleury. “I don’t think Claudia has ever thought about it but it is 87 per cent We believe in cherishing of your adult life the age of the small moments in life from 18 years-old that because they make the you have been involved with the lasting memories Rockwood Festival of the Arts.” After the dedication left Campbell speechless, 204-467-2525 • [email protected] she was unaware Band students at Teulon Collegiate Institute (TCI) have reason to rejoice this week Ahead of the Rockwood Festival of the Arts (RFOTA), which will be held in Teulon this year Apr. 8 to 23 with the awards night on May 3, the festival’s committee has decided to donate a brand new acoustic piano to the high school.

Along with providing the venue the high school’s students, staff and parents have played a major role in the success of the festival on the years it was held in Teulon and this is the organizations committee recognition of their contributions to the festival. As well, this year the TCI Band Boosters parents and students will be responsible for setting up chairs, running sound systems and other logistical items for the performances taking place at the high school. “We thought it was a good investment for the festival to buy a brand new piano. We are getting a brand new Yamaha p22, which is going to be donated to TCI. That will be there for the high school to use along with the festival anytime we are back here in Teulon. In past years, we have had to rent a good piano and we figured it was time to put our money into purchasing something rather than put out rentals fees and have nothing at the end of everything” said RFOTA president, Debbie Fleury. The organization has been saving money, through patronages and donations, for the past five years to be able to make this purchase. Last year the festival was able to donate a piano to the Quarry Park Heritage Arts Centre and the RFOTA committee thought it was time to do the same in Teulon. “The TCI Band Boosters will be helping us out this year, and in turn we are making an additional donation to their organization. With having the four venues at the collegiate there is just so much more work involved in setting up chairs, taking down bleach- Tribune Photos by Natasha Tersigni After volunteering with the Rockwood Festival of Arts for 54 years the festival board decided Claudia Campbell’s commitment and dedication must be honoured.

SCI students give back By Natasha Tersigni Preparing and serving meals, chatting with clients, and sorting donations are just a few of the tasks that Stonewall Collegiate Institute (SCI) students complete on their monthly visits to Siloam Mission in Winnipeg. Organized by SCI staff Cathy Chalmers and Christylee Munch once a month the two teachers along with a maximum 13 students travel to the mission to give back to their community. “SCI has been volunteering at Siloam for a number of years now. It is a great way for students to learn about community service, poverty, and how an organization like Siloam runs. Students are always amazed at the scope of services provided at Siloam, as well as how clean and organized the mission is,” said Chalmers in an e-mail. “Some students are interested in completing community service work in order to qualify for scholarships, but I find that almost all students who volunteer at Siloam are truly interested in doing humanitarian work.” Siloam Mission is located in downtown Winnipeg and provides their homeless clients with a multitude of services including daily meals, donations of clothes and toiletries and emergency shelter.

Instead Troy would gather up the stock of family books and read to her brother. Making funny voices and changing characters names not only made the stories fun but also helped Troy to find a lifelong love for reading. Now the Winnipeg radio host, best known for co-hosting the 103 Virgin Radio Winnipeg morning show with Ace Burpee and Lloyd the Intern, Troy is sharing her passion for reading with Manitoba students during her favourite month of the year; I Love to Read Month in February. Last week Troy visited Brant-Argyle School to read one of her favourite books, ‘Enemy Pie’ by Derek Munson. The students laughed along with Troy and enjoyed hearing the book, which follows a young boy who turns his enemy into a friend with help from the boy’s father. After reading, Troy answered some of the student’s questions and shared with them the importance of reading in her job.

Council reviewing fine points of Quarry Ridge Park By Marney Blunt The Town of Stonewall Council said they are reviewing certain details regarding the Quarry Ridge Park Development agreement that have recently come to light.

Installation not included. town. During the meeting it was made clear by Tim Comack, the vice-president of Ventura Developments, that the company was disappointed with council’s decision to not accept the agreement for the $30 million development and wished that council would reconsider. Comack stated that the subdivision would benefit the town greatly, and that Ventura Developments has already invested $1 million into the developments based on the assumption that the company had reached an agreement with the previous council and CAO. If an agreement is not reached before the May 30, 2015 deadline, or Ventura will have to reapply. The town is currently seeking legal counsel on the matter, and chief administrative officer Anne Burns says they will be proceeding openly with the public once certain details are resolved. “Town council considers every de- veloper and potential development equally important to the town, and the same applies for Ventura Developments and the Quarry Ridge Development,” said Burns. Burns said that upon reviewing the Quarry Ridge Park development agreement, council found that there were certain financial aspects of the agreement that were in question. “When we were reviewing, we realized that there were certain items that need to be confirmed that the previous council had not been made aware of,” she said. Burns indicated that two particular concerns have come up, including that the town solicitor had not reviewed the agreement, and there were several financial matters that were of concern. Burns said that there were over 70 items in the agreement that needed to be identified or confirmed and that the Town of Stonewall Council will be proceeding openly with the public, once the current items in question are confirmed. The Stonewall Teulon Tribune Thursday, February 19, 2015 11 Interlake School Division taxes set to rise again School division hosts budget meeting Feb. 19 By Natasha Tersigni Although it’s not as bad as the proposed 10.86-per-cent increase in education taxes that Interlake School Division (ISD) ratepayers were presented with last year, school trustees are looking to increase school taxes once again. With a zero per cent increase in their provincial funding for the 2015-2016 school year, ISD senior administration and trustees have a tough budget ahead of them; one that includes a 3.069 per cent increase in the education tax mill rate for 2015 tax year. Ratepayers will have a chance to view the full ISD draft budget and ask questions to ISD staff and trustees at their annual open-house budget meeting event, which takes place on Thursday, Feb. 19 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Ecole Stonewall Centennial School, located at 573 2nd Ave. North in Stonewall. For a property with an assessed value of $250,000, education taxes are expected to go up $49. And for the ratepayer it’s approximately an annual cost of $1,624 for their education taxes. No increase in provincial support from the previous year; the cost of installing fibre to connect all schools to high-speed internet; aging school buildings; maintaining small class sizes; uncertainty of provincial support in future years and the cost of technology and meeting students needs are cited in the draft budget as reasons for the mill rate increase. “Year after year the provincial government increases the funding to school divisions as a whole by two per cent, but from last year to this year the Interlake School Division itself saw the same level of provincial funding. They might be spending more province-wide but the Interlake School Division has not seen an increase,” said ISD Board of Trustees Chairman Alan Campbell. “By raising the special levy by 3.069 per cent we feel that we are able to continue to provide the best education we can for the students of the division while at the same time being as responsible as we can to the taxpayer.” The ISD’s total operating expenditures for 2015-16 is projected to be $36,346,000. Of the total budget, salaries and benefits will account for approximately 83 per cent of operating costs; with a price tag of $27,702,843 for salaries and $2,206,735 for employee benefits. The Feb. 20 budget meeting is a chance for ratepayers to provide feedback on the draft budget, so that modifications can be made before the budget is finalized and passed which will be on March 9 at the ISD regular board meeting. “The whole point in being elected by the public is so the public can be represented at the board table. We represent the taxpayer and this is the single most important opportunity that the individual taxpayer has to meet with the trustees, to discuss why we are raising taxes and what we spend our money on,” said Campbell of the open-house being held on Feb. 19.

The club is open to anyone between the ages of 6 and 25 and to all levels of experience. Some members have never been around horses while others are very experienced riders. All members will start off in level 1, but will be able to challenge levels if they have previous riding experience. Levels 1 to 3 will focus on basic horsemanship principals and riding techniques. In level 4, students will start specializing in one of six different riding disciplines: dressage, jumping, reining, rodeo, cattle events and ranching. The club will meet and prepare students to be around horses beginning March 9 at 7 p.m. The first three months will be classroom work teaching students proper horsemanship, identifying different types of horses and proper procedures in the barn such as how to tie horses and saddle them. In late spring the meetings will be moved to a barn where the students will begin to work directly with horses. For a level 1 student the horses that will be used will be six of Vincent’s personal horses. To keep the cost down for the higher levels, horses from Birds Hill will be donated to the club to be used for lessons. The location for the lessons will either by at the South Interlake Rockwood Ag Society grounds or at the North 9 barn, both within a 10 minute driving distance of Stonewall.

Good dental hygiene is a gift for life Brushing our teeth is part of our daily routine so why shouldn’t it be the same for our pets? If you care about your little fluff ball, then you should know that its general state of health is directly related to its oral health. And when it comes to a pet’s teeth, prevention is always the best option. According to the results of a study on this subject, barely 1 percent of pet owners brush their animals’ teeth at least three times a week, even though veterinarians highly recommend the practice. But don’t worry; it is not too late to start following this recommendation. PERIODONTAL DISEASE Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease in pets. It results from an infection due to an accumulation of plaque, which contains large amounts of bacteria. When it accumulates and begins to harden, plaque forms tarter. WARNING SIGNS Does your animal have a dental disease? DOES YOUR PET HAVE A BAD CASE OF Dog Breath? Check for the following signs and symptoms: • bad breath, also known as halitosis — of course, most animals don’t exactly have what we would call “fresh” breath, but if their breath becomes truly offensive it could be a sign of periodontal disease • a tendency to rub the face or mouth • a reluctance to eat hard foods • a swelling of the gums along with reddishbrown stains on the teeth Be sure to consult your veterinarian if one or more of these symptoms appear. A vet will be able to diagnose the problem, carry out any necessary treatment, and give you some tips in order to improve your pet’s dental hygiene. Bad breath, pawing at the mouth, and difficulty eating or chewing food are just a few of the symptoms of poor oral health. Ignored, they can lead to gum inflammation and periodontal disease. Periodontal disease affects 85% of adult pets. Ensure your pet enjoys good dental health by scheduling a dental exam today.

You may have had a few hard knocks, but you can improve your credit standing with a bit of patience and discipline. It won’t change overnight, but it’s important to take control of things right now; your efforts will be well worth it if you want to have a more secure financial future. Here are three tips to get you pointed in the right direction. 1. PAY YOUR BILLS ON TIME Get into the habit of paying your bills before the due date. Even if you can only manage the minimum amount due on your credit card this month, make sure you pay it on time. You’re much better off paying the minimum on time than the full balance late. 2. DON’T MAX OUT YOUR CARDS Don’t push the set limits on your credit cards. Experts believe that you should keep your credit utilization ratio (what you use versus how much you have to use) below 30 percent. This rule applies to each individual card, and to the cumulative debt of all your cards. 3. LIMIT YOUR APPLICATIONS FOR CREDIT Each time you apply for a loan — a line of credit, personal loan, car loan, or credit card — your application appears on your credit rating. Multiple requests can negatively affect your score, as creditors wonder if all your credit queries are hiding a serious financial problem. Are you wondering if you should go to one of those companies that promise to improve your credit rating? Be careful; Industry Canada’s Office of Consumer Affairs says that only your creditors themselves have the power to change the information that is recorded in your credit report. One thing you can do is order a copy of your credit report before you apply for a loan to ensure there are no errors. To do that, all you have to do is contact one of the Canadian credit bureaus, either Equifax (www. equifax.ca) or TransUnion (www.transunion.ca). RRSPs – Something to consider! Using the over-contribution limit is designed to provide a buffer in case you make a mistake in calculating your RRSP contributions. The Canadian government lets everyone contribute $2,000 more than their individual lifetime contribution limit without penalty. The $2,000 over-contribution allowance is not an annual allowance, but a lifetime maximum. If your total lifetime overcontribution adds up to more than $2,000, you’ll be penalized heavily with a 1% tax on the amount over $2,000 each month. This will continue until your next notice of assessment comes out, when you will be eligible to contribute your usual amount - less the amount over $2,000 of your previous over-contribution. You can use the $2,000 over-contribution to get ahead of the game and take advantage of tax-deferred growth and compounding in the RRSP. But as you get closer to retirement and withdrawals, make sure that you eventually claim the $2,000 as part of your deduction limit to avoid double taxation. Need help – call Linda at 467-8490.

Some folks go all out on this day with maybe a meal, movie, and/or flowers and gifts, while others may just take the family out for a nice dinner. It seems like Valentines plans range from the extravagant to the mundane. It’s all good fun! But Valentines is also one of those rare occasions which, as a pastor, leave me feeling conflicted. If we observe Valentine’s Day in church, for example, we are affirming love between a couple (the traditional intention of the day) but many people in church aren’t a “couple.” Often it’s a significant and negative event – or series of events – that’s made it that way. And so we work hard to make sure no one feels left out. But does that single person really need to come to church and see the flowers and finery, overhearing people talk in the church foyer about all their special plans together? Certainly not. In fact, I’ve known such people to avoid church on Valentine’s Day (and Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, for that matter). Furthermore, these ‘holidays’ have no Scriptural origin that I am aware of. (Before you ask, yes, I celebrate with my wife and family on all these special days – but we also try to include people who might be lonely and hurting, to show them they are equally loved.) Paul talked about freedom and its (self-imposed) limitations. He said that if eating meat sacrificed to idols gave any Christian friends cause for concern, that the answer was simple: don’t eat it, especially in front of them. He said (in 1 Corinthians 8:9), “Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling-block to the weak.” Truthfully, I’m not against celebrating great things like sweethearts and family; I’m simply using Valentine’s Day to make a point. My point? Let’s be sensitive and aware of those lonely and hurting around us. Let’s make sure that we consider (and even include whenever possible) our fellow believers when we celebrate. After all, isn’t that what love is all about? And hey, remember, i <3 u!

Interlake won both of its games last weekend – pounding the Yellowhead Chiefs 8-2 on Saturday and then edging the Eastman Selects 4-3 in a shootout on Sunday. “It’s a nice way to go into the playoffs,” said Lightning head coach Dwayne Swanson. “I actually wish the playoffs were starting tomorrow as opposed to waiting two weeks. “We’re playing really well and that win against Eastman came despite a variety of issues.” Braden Groot and Zach Odwak scored for Interlake in the shootout, which went to an extra shooter. In regulation time, the Lightning scored all three of its goals in the first period. After Eastman’s Brad Goethals opened the game’s scoring, John McCammon, Trenton Kornelsen, and Aiken Chop scored to stake the Lightning to a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes. Devon Skoleski pulled Eastman to within a goal in the second period and then the Selects tied the score at 3-3 when Kolten Kanaski scored a shorthanded goal midway in the third. The Lightning then held off the Selects despite taking three consecutive penalties (some would say of the questionable variety) during the latter stages of the third period. “Our PK was outstanding,” Swanson stressed. Riley Bannerman made 39 saves for the win. Last Saturday, the Lightning blasted the Chiefs by six goals in Teulon. “Sometimes our team is a little offensively challenged but that type of game really brings the confidence up for our guys,” Swanson said. “I’m very happy with the win.” Chop scored three goals for the Interlake while Groot had two goals and three assists. Odwak, recently named the DEKALB Rookie of the Week, scored twice and added an assist while Wayde Johannesson netted the Lightning’s other goal. Dane Derewianchuk had three assists. Brody Smith and Colin Van Kommer scored Yel- lowhead’s goals. Nathan Cvar made 26 saves for the win. On Feb. 11, the Lightning were shut out 3-0 by the Winnipeg Thrashers at Gateway Arena. Cody Glass snapped a 0-0 tie at 4:27 of the third period to score the game’s eventual game winner. Chase Brakel made it 2-0 at 14:47 and then Ryan Sokoloski put the Thrashers up 3-0 with 42 seconds remaining in the game. Jeremy Link made 28 saves for the shutout. Cvar stopped 39 Thrasher shots in the loss. Interlake finished the regular season in seventh place with a solid 22-19-0-3 record and 47 points to place seventh in the 12-team league. The Lightning’s reward is to play the second-place Brandon Wheat Kings (32-12) in a best-of-five first-round series. “We excited to be in the playoffs but we’re not just excited to be there,” Swanson stressed. “We played (Brandon) four times this year and we beat them once. Both games we had in Brandon, they beat us 2-1 and 3-2 and both times their goaltending won it for them. They have outstanding goaltending that we’re going to have to find a way through. “If we can score any goals at all, I feel we have a really legitimate chance to knock them off.” The playoffs, however, will not begin until March 2 due to the Canada Winter Games taking place currently in Prince Georg, B.C. Swanson isn’t too pleased with the lengthy break before the playoffs but he’s thrilled with the way his team is playing heading into the post-season. “Any time you can fight through adversity, it’s going to make you a better team,” he said. “I’m thrilled to death with these young men. I think they have done an outstanding job and I’m looking forward to the playoffs. I think we’re going to give Brandon everything they can handle and then some.” The Lightning, meanwhile, would love to get some fan support from the community for their playoff games. “We would like to see people come out and support these young guys,” Swanson encouraged. “They’ve busted their (butts) all year long and have done a great job.

Stonewall clinched a playoff berth Sunday with a 2-0 victory over the Transcona Railer Express. Hunter Ploszay made 34 saves for the shutout while Tyson Lodge and Jeremy Brooks provided the offence. Lodge’s goal came in the second period while Brooks tallied in the third. Last Friday, the Jets were edged 4-3 at home by the St. Vital Victorias. Robert Smith and Barret Schlag scored for Stonewall in the first period and then St. Vital’s Danick Levesque and Jordan Ivanyshyn tallied in the middle frame. Levesque scored his 28th goal of the season on the power play at 9:11 of the third but the Jets’ tribune photo by lana meier Victor Knaub tied the score at 3-3 just Jets’ forward Jeremy Brooks (7) scored in the third period to give over three minutes later. The Vics’ Raymond Allard then Stonewall an insurance goal in their 2-0 victory over the Railer Express. scored the game winner with just under six minutes remaining in the game. On Feb. 11, the Jets were defeated 5-1 at home by the St. Boniface Riels. Lodge gave Stonewall a 1-0 lead midway in the first period but it was all Riels after that. Michael Gorrie and Brett Charette scored for St. Boniface in the first period and then Nick Doyle and Gorrie made it 4-1 visitors after 40 minutes. Trevor Slama then closed out the scoring midway in the third period. The Riels outshot the Jets 59-29, including 27-4 in the final frame. Ploszay made 54 saves in the loss. The Jets (18-22-1) host the Raiders Jr. Hockey Club this Friday (7:30 p.m.) and then play at the River East Royal Knights on Sunday (2:45 p.m.). Stonewall will wrap up its regular season Feb. 27 when it hosts the Ft. Garry/Ft. Rouge Twins. Flyers still alive, Mercs out of SEMHL playoffs By Brian Bowman During the South Eastern Manitoba Hockey League regular season, the Stonewall Flyers won just one game. But they have already matched that total in the post-season. The Flyers are proving that the playoffs are, in fact, a totally new season as they trailed the Winkler Royals 2-1 in their best-of-five quarter-final series. Game 4 was played last night in Winkler but no score was available at press time. Winkler took a 2-1 series lead with a 6-2 home victory on Sunday. No scoring summary was posted on the league website at press time. The Flyers evened the series at a game apiece after a 5-2 win Saturday in Winkler. Tied at 3-3 late in the third period, a pair of former Selkirk Steelers went to work. Blair Hawes scored the eventual game winner at 14:06 of the third and then Craig Scott secured the win by scoring with 11 seconds remaining in the game. Winkler’s Riley Dudar had tied the score at 3-3 midway in the third period. Stonewall had grabbed a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes as Patrick Dawson, Cody Hunter and Matthew Varnes tallied. Varnes also added two assists for a three-point game. Mark Hildebrand replied with a power-play goal for Winkler in the first period and then Brendan Hep- pner tallied in the second period. Justin Harris made 54 saves for the well-deserved victory. In Game 1 of the series last Thursday, the Royals edged the Flyers 3-2 in Stonewall. Brock Couch scored a pair of firstperiod goals for Stonewall but Winkler’s Marlin Froese cut the lead in half at 14:14 of the second period. Phil Letkeman then scored a pair of goals for Winkler in the third. His first came just 12 seconds into the period on a power play and then he scored the game winner at 15:44. The Warren Mercs, meanwhile, saw their season abruptly end with a 3-0 series loss to the Altona Maroons. The Maroons clinched the series win with a 3-2 victory last Saturday in Altona. Angus Klassen scored the game winner at 6:40 of the third period. Tyler Dittmer and Shea Hamilton, on the power play, scored Altona’s other goals. Brenden Luschinski scored both Warren goals. In Game 2 of the series, Altona won 4-1 last Friday in Warren. Dittmer (two), Klassen (shorthanded), and Nolan Martens (power play) scored for Altona. Chad Deprez scored the Mercs’ lone goal at 16:58 of the third period. Game 1 of the series on Feb. 10 saw Altona edged Warren 4-3 in overtime. The Mercs led 3-1 late in the third but Matt Dyck and Dittmer scored to tribune photo by lana meier The Flyers’ Jeff Sonnenberg (20) and Ryan Elliot (23) take down a Royals player in front of the net while battling for the puck last Thursday. force the overtime. Josh Froese then won the game in OT. Klassen gave the Maroons a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes but it was all Warren in the second period. Eric Delong scored twice in the first 4:25 of the second period and then Luschinski made it 3-1 at 17:38 of the middle frame. In the other SEMHL first-round series, Carman swept Notre Dame 3-0. The Morden Redskins had a bye after finishing the regular season in first place. 22 The Stonewall Teulon Tribune Thursday, February 19, 2015 Rams ousted from WHSHL playoffs in first round By Brian Bowman The problem with a best-of-three playoff series is that it is over very quickly. And now, unfortunately, the Stonewall Collegiate Rams’ hockey team’s season is also over. The Rams were eliminated from the Winnipeg High School Hockey League Platinum Promotions Division playoffs after a 4-2 loss to the College Jeanne Sauve Olympiens last Thursday in Winnipeg. With that win, CJS won the series 2-1. “It was a funny game,” said Rams’ head coach Kyle Nixon. “They scored those three goals on 4-on-4 situations after a couple of penalties and we just didn’t adjust to that.” The Olympiens jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead and held on the rest of the way despite Stonewall outshooting them by a wide margin. Ethan McMahon and Bryce Stovin scored second-period goals for Stonewall. CJS opened the series with a 4-3 overtime win on Feb. 10 but the Rams came right back the next day with a 4-2 triumph to stave off elimination. “We felt like we kind of got robbed in Game 1 with a couple of tough shifts and some bad breaks,” Nixon lamented. “We were winning and lost in overtime and then in Game 2 we played well and won. “For the most part of the series, I thought we were the better team, but it just didn’t work out for us.” In Stonewall’s Game 2 victory, Reid Boyer led the Rams with two goals while Sam Mandryk and Bryce Stovin also tallied. The Rams held leads of 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2. “It was nice to see our group come back because Game 1 was as heartbreaking of a loss that I think that you could have, especially in the playoffs. To come back with a good effort and give us a chance in Game 3 kind of speaks to the character of the group.” That Game 1 win by CJS saw the Olympiens tie the score at 3-3 late in the third period and then win it late in OT. That loss was very difficult for the Rams to digest. “It was real tough,” Nixon admitted. “For all three games, the boys played super well and worked really hard. We were up 3-1 and they scored with about three minutes left to make it 3-2 and then with 15 seconds left off a faceoff, (the puck) was fumbling around and hit about three sticks and a shinpad and went post and in and they tied it with six seconds left.” McMahon scored twice for the Rams while Mandryk added a single. When the Rams return to the ice in the fall for next season, they will have a much different look. Eight players will be lost due to graduation from this year’s team, which finished with a respectable 7-12-0-1-2 regular-season record in the WHSHL’s top division. “We’re going to have some holes next year,” Nixon admitted. “It’s going to be tough. The Grade 12s were a big part of our success this year and there’s a core there that went through our little run (a couple of years ago) and they are going to graduate. Those guys are a special group and they put tribune photo by jo-anne procter Rams’ captain Sam Mandryk scored twice in the first round of the WHSHL playoffs.

And, once again, the Saints made it look very, very easy. Teulon won the Elton tournament last weekend, handily defeating Neepawa 102-54 in the championship game. Neepawa is currently No. 3 in the MHSAA “AA” rankings. “Our girls played really well,” said Saints’ head coach Jason Darragh. “We played really well on defence and our offence was going well.” Meghan Osbak led Teulon with a game-high 45 points.

The Warren Wildcats varsity girls’ and boys’ basketball teams were both victorious last weekend, winning tournaments in Dominion City. The girls defeated Roseau Valley 5022 in the final. Warren earlier beat Shevchenko (Vita) 46-26 and Rosenort 46-22. The Wildcats’ Kristen Olson was selected as the tournament’s most valuable player while Kelsey Manchulenko was named a tournament all star. The Warren boys’ team, meanwhile, defeated Grunthal 59-51 in overtime of their championship game. The Wildcats earlier beat Shevchenko (Vita) 75-51 and Rosenort 65-41. The Wildcats’ Ethan Garrett was named the tournament’s MVP while Jason Peltz was selected as an all star. Wildcats begin hockey playoffs From the hardwood to the ice, Warren lost its regular-season finale 6-1 to firstplace Springfield last Friday in Oakbank. Warren’s Brett Goertzen, assisted by Dylan Heidinger, and Springfield’s Trevor Weimer traded first-period goals but it was all Springfield after that. Nate Renooy and Tanner McGean scored in the second period and then Renooy, Riley Thomsen, and Tyson Roland tallied in the third. With the loss, Warren finished in third place in the Winnipeg High School Hockey League’s Price Division with a 17-3-0-1-1 record and 36 points. That record left Warren four points back of Springfield (20-2) and just a single point behind Linden Christian (18-3-0-0-1). The No. 3-ranked Wildcats hosted No. 14 St. Norbert in Game 1 of their best-of-three series Tuesday but no score was available at press time. Warren will then play at St. Norbert today with puck drop at 2:40 p.m. Balmoral mixed bonspiel event winners The Balmoral Curling Club hosted 15 teams this past weekend at their annual mixed bonspiel.

You bid no one a last farewell, No chance to say goodbye; You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. It broke my heart to lose you, But you did not go alone; For part of me went with you, The day God called you home.

I spent the war years in Portage la Prairie and Roland. Following the war my father, Russell, married Elsie Patzer, who began her married life with an instant family of me and my three brothers, Bill, Doug and Kingsley. The family then increased by two more boys, Bryan and Greg and one girl, Sandra. During school years in Winnipeg I joined the sea cadets, played baseball and hockey. Spending monies came from delivering the Winnipeg Free Press and weekend work at Sair Tire Shop. During High School years I met Barbara Pennycook, the love of my life. We married in 1956 and became soul mates through the valleys and mountain tops of our lives for the next 58 years. I started my working career as a butcher at Dunn’s Meat Market on Osborne Street, then as a fire fighter with the City of Winnipeg Fire Department which I retired after 35 great years in 1991. As our family grew we decided to have a house built in Stonewall in 1961 and to this day we live in the same home. I always had a large vegetable and flower garden. Boys all had their turns doing the weeding! In the early years of our marriage many trips were made to Grandma and Grandpa Harmon’s and then Uncle Jack and Aunt Joan’s in Melita. Blessings to all the Harmon kids that gave up their beds for us and our kids! My last trip was in October. Sports during my adult life included curling which I got pretty good at as a skip over the years. As a fire fighter I was a Canadian Champion for four consecutive years. In Stonewall we teamed up with Nick and Joyce and started the Junior Curling Program. Every Friday from 4 – 8 p.m. found us at the rink for the next 20 years. Great times were had with the four of us at mixed bonspiels, zones and provincial play downs and club curling. To the guys that curled with me, it was a blast at the MMCA bonspiels in Winnipeg along with zones, men’s provincials and club curling. A few trophies were collected along the way. Camping and fishing became family events on my days off and holidays. I was so blessed when my sons allowed us to take the grandchildren on trips East and West across Canada and the U.S. We visited National Parks along the way and lunch was always at a school playground or park. What memories and joys those trips have given me over the years. Hope you grandkids have lots of memories also. My travels outside of Canada included a couple of trips to both Alaska and Hawaii, central Europe, Amsterdam and Norway. I spent last August and early September driving to Newfoundland doing Gros Mourne National Park, the Fjords and Cows Head. More memories with mother nature and visiting with family along the way. Over the years I participated in the work and committees of the Stonewall United Church. I joined the choir which lead to the Cantatas. I loved every moment of both and enjoyed the friendships made. Gary passed away February 11, 2015. Celebration of life service was held on Tuesday, February 17, 2 p.m. at the Stonewall United Church. He was predeceased by son Derrick Fenske, father Russell Fenske, step father Holger Sorenson, mother Marjorie Sorenson, sister-in-law Doreen Fenske. Left to cherish the memories are his wife and soul mate Barbara; sons Randy, Garry (Reena), Philip (Dawn), grandchildren Zach (Lindsay), Austin, Jake (Ashley), Michaela (James), Raisa and Davis. Stepmother Elsie Fenske, brothers William (Joan), Douglas (Elaine), Kingsley (Gloria), Bryan, Gregory (Cheri), sisters Sandra Waldner and Bette Lou Ballard, Mary Fenske. Also many cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews in the Fenske, Harmon and Patzer families. Honourary pallbearers are his sons: Randy, Garry and Philip and his grandchildren Zach, Austin, Jake, Michaela, Raisa and Davis. Interment will take place at a later date. If family and friends so desire donations to the Winnipeg Fire Fighters Burn Fund or the Stonewall United Church would be appreciated. Thank you to the family, friends, church members and ministers for all the wonderful visits, cards, phone calls, baking and lunches, hugs and prayers during the last few months. Also to the nurses and home care people that allowed Gary to stay at home as long as possible. Wes Frankemolle February 26, 1920 – February 14, 2015 With heavy hearts, 12 days short of his 95th birthday, we announce the passing of our Dad. Dad was predeceased by his first wife Adolphina and second wife Margaret. His siblings Louis, Jan, Carl and Catherine. He was a butcher in Holland, immigrated to Canada in 1954. When he arrived he became an orderly. After that dad was known as The Handyman, some of what he did was lawn care and built children’s furniture. He loved to garden, started his own plants in the greenhouse that he built. He loved to have family over, nothing made him happier. Dad was well known for teasing everyone and his singing. In the nursing home, aides would hear him sing and join in, even down the hall. Funeral Service will be at 11:00 a.m. prayers will be before the service at 10:30 a.m. at Church of the Annunciation, Woodlands on Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Rev. Father Michel Nault will officiate. Honorary pallbearers are all the grandchildren. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to a charity of one’s choice. The family would like to thank all the staff at Red River Place Nursing Home in Selkirk for the wonderful care. Survived by six children and their families: Maria (Larry), Micheal; Amber (Phillip) Brandyn, Camry, Vienna; Leah (Jamie) Kaedyn; Ashley: Carl (Kathy), Chris (Gen) Kai, Aurora; Lisa (Mike); Cazden: Judy Anne (Keith), Jennifer (Rob): Norman (Thelma) Matthew, Jeremy: Margaret (Brian), Ben, Adam: Wes (Shayla), Teersten.
