C
hildren throughout
the province have re-
turned to the classroom
this week as the 2014/2015
school year begins.
As classrooms settle
and the learning begins,
there are a few exciting
changes in the Rolling Riv-
er School Division this year
including a new hockey
academy program, further
investment in teachers
professional development
and a new focus concen-
trating on mental health.
Parents may have al-
ready noticed one big
change this year in the way
of purchasing school sup-
plies.
Rather than doing
their own back-to-school
shopping, students and
parents will now be re-
quired to pay a set price at
the beginning of the year
for the required school
supplies, which will be
purchased and handed out
by the teacher.
Troughout the en-
tire division, we have de-
termined a set price for
each grade and the schools
are then responsible for
getting a list of supplies
that will f t within the
numbers, explained Reg
Klassen, superintendent of
Rolling River School Divi-
sion.
It is generally costing
less to parents, saves them
the task of shopping for the
supplies and the money
that is being spent stays lo-
cal.
In a number of com-
munities throughout the
division there has been an
arrangement made with a
local vendor to supply the
schools with the necessary
classroom equipment. In
the Minnedosa communi-
ty the school supplies have
been ordered through the
Minnedosa Pharmacy.

T
he Minnedosa Handi
Van continues to ac-
tively run in the communi-
ty, providing transportation
for those who have dif cul-
ty getting around.
Since its conception,
the Handi Van program
has been plagued with the
challenge of keeping vol-
unteer drivers as well as
general confusion of who is
able to use the service.
When the Handi Van
was incorporated with the
Town of Minnedosa, there
was an agreement made
between the Town and the
Handi Van Association that
the Handi Van would not
take any business from a
taxi service in town. Tere-
fore, there is some confu-
sion in the community
about who can and cannot
use the Handi Van, ex-
plained Brenda Hales, sec-
retary of the Handi Van As-
sociation.
It is a real grey area.
We are hoping to meet with
Norm Sims, our lawyer, to
try and arrange a time with
him that we can meet with
the board members to re-
view our by-laws and pos-
sibly make some changes
to expand the present ser-
vice.
Te transportation ser-
vice is designed to provide
mobility for those in the
area who are unable to use
normal methods of trans-
portation with the order of
priorities being work and
education, medical ap-
pointments, business and
social outings.
Our mandate has al-
ways stipulated that we will
not provide a service that
the Taxi service ofers. So
anyone that is capable of
travelling by Taxi or regu-
lar vehicle cannot utilize
the service, explained Ross
Mackling, chairperson of
the Handi Van board.
Currently, due to the
lack of volunteer drivers,
the Handi Van is running
three-out-of-four weeks in
a month. Within the pri-
orities, appointments are
taken on a frst-come, frst-
serve basis.
Te service runs sev-
en-days-a-week with the
capability of transporting
four seated passengers as
well as four wheelchair
passengers. Te passenger
is responsible for getting on
and of the bus and an es-
cort is mandatory for those
who are at risk travelling
alone.
I could see where
there are additional uses
for the Handi Van and that
is certainly something that
we would like to explore
as it may enable us to hire
a driver, continued Mack-
ling.
Currently the Handi
Van has three active vol-
unteer drivers but aims to
retain eight drivers in or-
der to ofer the service full-
time.
With our volunteer
situation we cant ofer
any further services at this
time. It would take some-
thing like a weekly, regular
ongoing program that we
would get compensated
for to really afect any
change.
Over the next while,
the Handi Van board will
be looking to sit down with
their lawyer, in order to ex-
amine their by-laws with
the hopes of expanding its
usage capabilities.
Basically, if a person
is having dif culties getting
in and out of a vehicle, they
are more than welcome to
use the Handi Van service.
Many times individuals
who use the van are re-
ferred to us through a med-
ical professional. But, it is
certainly not limited to the
elderly or persons in a per-
manent state of disability. If
you have had an accident
or are temporarily unable
to get around, this service
is certainly available to you,
regardless of age or length
of disability, added Hales.

Confusion Surrounding Handi Van Use

A
group of students at
TCS completed the
restoration of a motorcy-
cle last year and will soon
announce the lucky new
owner of the 1975 Yamaha
XS 650 Caf Racer.
James Sheppard, TCS
Principal, was the leader
of the restoration project
and acquired an old mo-
torcycle for the group of
interested students to ex-
perience mechanical res-
toration.
For two years, students
met weekly, two-at-a-time
to work on the motor-
cycle. In the process they
learned a number of skills
including hydraulics, wir-
ing, electrical, reading ex-
panded diagrams and the
inner workings of a power
mechanics shop.
In early June, the com-
pletely restored bike was
unveiled. After many gen-
erous donations from both
local and national ven-
dors, project costs totalled
$3,694.42.
Since then the group
has been selling raf e tick-
ets to recoup costs and
gather a little seed money
for the next project. Now
with ticket sales almost
complete, the raf e draw
will soon take place.
Sheppard is planning
to start another bike proj-
ect with students again
this fall, which will likely
take another two years to
complete.
Martin and Andrew
Gugin at Minnedosa Colle-
giate are on board to lend
us some space in the shop
again, and it appears a few
kids are interested in sign-
ing up to participate.

As this is our f rst
year doing this across the
entire division we will ex-
amine the process and im-
prove it as time goes on,
continued Klassen.
For some families it
is a challenge to get to the
store and pay for the sup-
plies. We hope that the
numbers we have given
are reasonable and by
buying in bulk we expect
that our schools will get
better prices.
Klassen notes that
this process will also avoid
comparisons in schools
by students about who has
the better supplies.
Tere is something
about sustainability in
this as well. We are trying
to buy what is required
and use up what we buy,
as opposed to in the past
many students would buy
more than what they need
and there would be a level
of waste.
Tis year RRSD has
seen a decline in enroll-
ment in its rural areas,
which has resulted in the
elimination of a few bus
routes. Last year the divi-
sion had 32 routes, drop-
ping to 29 this year.
Tis is not because our
school population is de-
clining, but because our
rural population is de-
clining. I believe that our
school population num-
bers are levelling of from
last year and our Kin-
dergarten to grade three
numbers are now our
largest group of classes. If
that trend continues we
should actually encounter
a bit of an increase.
RRSD has increased
its professional develop-
ment fund this year in or-
der to be intentional about
a professional develop-
ment initiative to support
teachers who are involved
in multi-age learning.
Most of our classes
throughout the division
are multi-age. So we have
determined that it would
be incumbent upon us to
support teacher learning
by adding money to our
professional development
and I know that we have
started a number of initia-
tives on that to work with
our teachers.
Tis year the division
will also place a greater fo-
cus on mental health, ini-
tiating a number of events
for staf and students.
We will be taking
more time to look at men-
tal health. Not only for
our students but for our
staf and everyone who
is involved in our school
environment. We need
to look after each other
and understand what the
stressors are around men-
tal health. It is a pretty big
project but it is an impor-
tant conversation, con-
tinued Klassen.
During the divisions
frst in-service day a guest
speaker will be coming to
speak on mental health.
Later in the fall, a group
will be travelling to Win-
nipeg to participate in a
mental health conference.
We are hoping that
the speaker and confer-
ence will begin to spark
a conversation on what
mental health looks like,
the areas that need to be
focused on and how a
plan can be put forward in
order to move on improv-
ing mental health.
Similar to past years,
the division will be once
again putting an empha-
sis on developing literacy
and numeracy skills in the
early years.
Our focus on literacy
is beginning to show divi-
dends in terms of student
success. And we are cer-
tainly looking forward to
continuing that.
A brand-new and ex-
citing program will also
be starting up this school
year in Rivers Collegiate
with a Hockey Canada
Skill Academy.
Tis program is the
only Hockey Canada Skills
Academy in Western Man-
itoba between Portage
and the border of Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba.
It is a program with some
real potential, not only for
our own students but for
students from other divi-
sions as well.
Te Hockey Canada
Skills Academy ofers stu-
dents more of a student-
athlete approach to high
school. Students from
grades 7 to 10 can register
at Rivers Collegiate and
take part in the hockey
academy for the duration
of the year, every second
day.
High school students
can gain credits from their
participation in the pro-
gram and these can be
used towards graduation.
T e younger students
will use the program as a
physical education class,
explained Klassen.
Te program will be
run out of the new recre-
ational facility in Rivers
with the Town of Rivers
graciously donating the
ice time free of charge.
Tis has enabled RRSD to
ofer the program to their
students at no extra cost.
Interested students from
other school divisions are
more than welcome to
sign-up but will incur a
$500 registration fee.

W
ith the recent announcement of Burger Kings
interest in buying Tim Hortons and moving
their Head Quarters to Canada for our more favour-
able tax treatment, it is becoming clear that the Ca-
nadian advantage built up through many years of
hard work are starting to pay off. Canadas tax ad-
vantage is attracting major international companys
attention.
We have also seen news this month that Canada
had a surplus in June of 1.6 Billion dollars; 40,000
new jobs were created, and Canadas annual growth
rate in the second quarter reached 3.1 percent ac-
cording to Terry Pedwell of the Canadian Press and
Statistics Canada; which beat the analysts expecta-
tions. The government is on track for a surplus in
the coming year, we have guided Canada out of the
global economic recession to be in one of the stron-
gest positions amongst the G7 nations, while many
other countries are still mired in deep deficits.
Canada is positioned to be a strong and credible
voice on key issues in our global community. Our
prominence and global influence on the world stage
continues to grow under the leadership of Prime
Minister Stephen Harper.
In a time of global economic uncertainty, our
Conservative Government has prioritized Cana-
das economic recovery and resulted in significant
measures of economic success. With the creation of
over one million net new jobs since the depth of the
global recession we have the best job growth record
among all G7 members. Our Governments invest-
ment in jobs, growth and long-term prosperity has
enhanced the resilience of the Canadian economy,
our economic credibility and in turn demonstrated
to the international community that Canada is a
great place to invest.
Our Government has remained focused on pur-
suing an ambitious and balanced trade agenda that
will help Canadas economic recovery and ensure
long-term prosperity. In October, our Government
reached a free trade agreement with the European
Union, a historic accomplishment for Canadas trade
relations. It will boost Canadas economy by $12 bil-
lion annuallythe equivalent of 80,000 jobsand
Canadian businesses will have preferential market
access to the EUs half a billion consumers. We also
reached an agreement for free trade with South Ko-
rea which is expected to help grow our economy by
$1.7 billion per year.
In addition to increased jobs and economic ac-
tivity, expanding Canadas free trade agreements
also provides hard-working families more choice at
a lower cost for everyday household goods.
In contrast to the Federal governments pru-
dent economic management that is attracting in-
ternational investment, creating jobs, and lowering
taxes we have seen here in Manitoba what an NDP
government would do to our public finances. The
recent downgrading of Manitobas credit rating by
Moodys is going to cost every Manitoban more
money with the increase cost of borrowing and fi-
nancing of the provinces massive debts. The NDP
have already begun to raise taxes with their hike of
the PST, dipping into every Manitobans pockets.
The Liberals in Ontario are also facing a fiscal
cliff because of years of fiscal mismanagement and
have also faced a recent credit rating downgrade
which means the cost of their borrowing will go up.
Both provinces economic potential is being squan-
dered by the Liberals and NDP.
Budgets dont balance themselves and what
governments do impacts the economy despite what
the NDP and Liberals will try and sell us in the com-
ing year. We cannot allow them to have the fis-
cal reigns federally or we will get the same result,
higher costs of government and higher taxes with a
poor economy. That means every Canadian will be
worse off.
As we strengthen ties and promote economic
prosperity, Canada is positioned to lead on the
world stage and promote Canadian values. Our
Conservative Government is delivering on these
priorities of Canadians.
Canada Positioned to Lead on World Stage
Letters to
the Editor
Dear Editor,
I
was born missing my left leg below the knee and I am
a member of Te War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP)
Program. Recently, I had the opportunity to attend Te
War Amps 2014 Western CHAMP Seminar in Winnipeg
as a Junior Counsellor. Te seminar brought together
child amputees from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al-
berta.
Junior Counsellors are representatives of the Asso-
ciation and role models for younger Champs as they too
grow up in the CHAMP Program. I am able to help out
with the seminar during the many sessions, and talk to
the parents of new child amputees.
I became a Junior Counsellor because Ive always
liked playing and working with kids. I want Champs to
know that theyre not the only ones, and that having an
amputation is not a barrier to living a full and active life.
My favourite part of the seminar is when I can spend
time with the kids and answer their questions about
growing up as an amputee.
As someone who has benef tted, I would like to
thank all of you who support Te War Amps Key Tag Ser-
vice, which has made these programs possible for young
amputees like me.
Sincerely,
Silas Penner, age 16

Back in Custody After Ignoring Rules
SUBMITTED BY MPI
H
arvest season is upon
us and its important
that farmmachinery is prop-
erly marked and clearly vis-
ible when traveling on pub-
lic roads.
After their son Brandyn
was killed in a collision with
farmequipment, Sandra and
Ken Falk are campaigning
to get that road safety mes-
sage out to Manitobans.
Brandyns parents vowed
to keep their sons memory
alive and hopefully save the
lives of others with the cam-
paign B Aware B Seen.
B Aware B Seen is de-
signed to raise awareness
about safety on Manitoba
roadways for both produc-
ers and motorists. In fact,
the rst roadside sign was
recently placed alongside
Highway #325, west of Ash-
ern.
We want to make sure
producers take the time to
put proper lighting on their
equipment before heading
out on the roads, Sandra
Falk said. If we can save
even just one family from
the devastation weve expe-
rienced its worth it.
According to the High-
way Trafc Act, farmequip-
ment is required to have a
slow-moving vehicle em-
blemclearly visible to traf-
c approaching from be-
hind, with red reectors on
the back as close as possible
to the left and right sides. At
night, farmequipment must
have headlights, red tail
lamps and ashing amber
warning lamps.
Farm equipment is
large and slow moving. Pro-
ducers need to ensure their
equipment is properly lit
when traveling on the road-
way and motorists have to
be fully aware of their sur-
roundings particularly in
rural areas where harvest is
underway, said MaryAnn
Kempe, vice-president,
Business Development
and Communications and
Chief Product Ofcer, Man-
itoba Public Insurance.
If both producers and
motorists do their part, they
can help keep each other
safe on the road.
Watch for farmequip-
ment. While farmmachinery
needs to be clearly marked,
all road users have a respon-
sibility to safely share the
road. Motorists should keep
a safe distance fromthe larg-
er machines and recognize
their slower speeds.
Farmequipment gener-
ally travels well below the
posted speed limit, so its
easy for drivers to approach
much quicker than they an-
ticipate. When you encoun-
ter farmequipment, be pa-
tient and only pass with your
vehicle when its safe to do
so.

A
fter decades of being
known as squatters,
a group of Sandy Lake cot-
tagers are fnally getting
the opportunity to own
the land they have sum-
mered on for years.
It has certainly been
a long time coming with
many obstacles along the
way, but I am happy to say
that the project has moved
into the tender process
and this long-awaited
milestone has fnally
come, commented Do-
reen Stapleton, councillor
with the R.M. of Harrison.
Twenty-three cot-
tages along the middle of
Beach Road in Sandy Lake
have been sitting on CN
Railway land for the past
number of decades.
Te Manitoba Rec-
reation Trails Association
owned a $1.00 option to
purchase with CN. Tis
was a ten-year-deal which
we were able to transfer to
the R.M. in the fnal year.
Once we owned the prop-
erty, we began to create a
development plan which
took us approximately
four years to complete,
Stapleton continued.
With the land now
owned by the R.M., a de-
velopment plan has been
put together that will see
the Trans Canada Trail
moved, a new road creat-
ed on the old rail bed and
an expansion of these 23
cottage properties.
Te new arrangement
will give the cottage own-
ers up to 105-foot backing
to their waterfront prop-
erty with the lot frontages
remaining the same.
Te R.M. and Cabin
Owners Association held
a ribbon cutting ceremony
on Saturday, August 30th
on the newly acquired
land.
We were able to re-
lease tenders for infra-
structure last week and
hope to begin work this
fall. Tis is a huge step for-
ward for this community
as there have been gen-
erations of cottage owners
who have not been able to
own their property, add-
ed Stapleton.
Not owning the land
your home is on, there are
a number of things that
you are not able to do. Tis
is a great milestone for our
community and will only
bring good things to all in-
volved.
Te twenty-three cot-
tage owners have signed
an agreement to purchase
with the R.M. that will be
fulflled once the tendered
infrastructure work has
been completed.
As the frontage of the
lots are all diferent, once
the construction is com-
pleted the frontage size of
the lots will determine the
price that each individual
owner will be responsible
to pay, explained Staple-
ton.
Many of the local cot-
tagers were on-site for the
ribbon cutting ceremony
on Saturday morning,
including Russ and Jean
Hawkins who have owned
a cabin on the land for the
past 44 years.
We are so very happy
that this day has fnally
come. We have always
wanted to own the prop-
erty but werent sure if
it would ever be pos-
sible, commented Jean
Hawkins.
Te Hawkins have spent
countless summers at
their cottage, raising their
children and grandchil-
dren. Twenty-six years
ago the couple built a
new cabin, all the while
keeping in mind that they
might one day have to
move the structure of the
land.
We cant express how
happy we are to know that
we will be able to leave
this property to our kids
and grandkids that have
grown up on this lake.

O
ver the course of the
summer, Rolling Riv-
er School Division was ac-
tive throughout the region
upgrading various aspects
of its educational facili-
ties.
In Onanole, the
school has received new
exterior siding. Te west
side of the school had
been previously re-sided
after experiencing some
fooding. Following ap-
proval from the Public
School Finance Board the
division has completed
the remainder of the sid-
ing replacement.
Erickson Collegiate
has received an upgrade
to its band concert stage.
Tere is a new stage
door, fooring, and baf es
installed in order to bet-
ter manage the sound. As
well, there is new fooring
in a number of the class-
rooms and the library as
we continue to work to re-
place the rug throughout
the facility, explained Reg
Klassen, superintendent
of RRSD.
Rivers Collegiate has
received new desks and
fooring in the of ce area
as well the division has
been working diligently to
replace the gym foor.
When we peeled
back the old tile that was
on the gym foor we real-
ized there was a levelling
concrete used over the
whole foor. Tat all had
to be chipped of and then
re-poured before we could
install new fooring. We
are hoping that the gym
will be ready for use by
September 30th.
As in previous years,
there has been a lot of
painting taking place at a
number of schools. Some
may also notice, between
Minnedosa and Erickson,
there are orange cables
and machines in the ditch.
Tat cable will provide
better internet connectiv-
ity for the Erickson and
Onanole schools.
Installing the cable is
going slow because of the
terrain. We were hoping
that we would have inter-
net connectivity by the be-
ginning of the school year
but we are not sure that is
going to happen.
At Tanners Crossing
Elementary, new shelving
has been installed in the
band room. Tis state-of-
the-art shelving will better
protect instruments and
allow easier lock-up.
Kindergarten to grade
four classrooms through-
out the division have re-
ceived new sound sys-
tems. All kindergarten to
grade four teachers, along
with the music and physi-
cal education teachers,
have microphones, which
will amplify their voice to
students over a sound sys-
tem.
What we fnd is that
some students dont al-
ways hear all of the in-
structions and then fall
behind in class. Te oth-
er piece of the research
would indicate that it im-
proves student learning
particularly for early years
students because instruc-
tions and expectations are
much more clear, con-
cluded Klassen.

D
uring the last bit
of heat in August, I
rather enjoyed watching
my dad, Charlie, while
he picked raspberries. I
could have been helping
him, but instead found
myself just sitting and
studying him as he me-
thodically searched the
bushes.
He was picking with
the utmost patience, care-
fully scanning each rasp-
berry cane, sometimes
going back to areas previ-
ously picked to grab any
ones he had missed.
Earlier in the day, I
had watched him unload
the dishwasher too, care-
fully taking each cup,
plate, and piece of cutlery,
putting them away in its
correct spot. Once in a
while, though, he would
get stumped by a cou-
ple of dishes that he just
couldnt remember where
they went.
Charlie is slowly fad-
ing away from us. He has
lost much of his short
term memory, and his
long term memory has
been gone for over a year.
Its hard to say, from
day to day, who he rec-
ognizes in his family, but
hes always friendly, and
though there are times
when you can sense his
frustration when he is
struggling to remember
something, he seems gen-
uinely content most of the
day.
He is still able to play
crib down at the 50 Plus
Centre in Minnedosa, and
he does word puzzles dur-
ing the evening, sitting in
his chair by the window.
He shuf es about
with the aid of a cane and
walker, and while watch-
ing him going down the
stairs contains enough
suspense to fll a B-grade
horror movie, he still gets
around well enough.
Which brings me back
to my watching him as he
worked. I know, if I was
a good son, Id help him
out, but these simple tasks
seem to bring him plea-
sure, and help fll his day.
So, instead, I sit and watch
and refect on the changes
I see.
Im not saddened by
these changes. Or at least
not as sad as I thought Id
be. Charlie worked hard
all his life, and now his
body seems to be saying it
wants a little rest.
Te biggest dif culty
I have is trying to fgure
out what verb tense to use
when I refer to him. Its
pretty easy to say that he
was a farmer, as he retired
from full time farming
more than 20 years ago.
However, what can
you say about all his skills
that he likely has tucked
away in his brain some-
where do I say he is one
of the last of a breed of do-
it-yourself farmers, or do
I have to say he was...
I personally f rst no-
ticed the changes several
years ago when I asked
him to help me wire our
garage. It was a job that I
had expected he could do
in his sleep. I would do
the heavy work of running
the wires and do most of
the connections, and he
would tell me which wires
needed to be connected in
the panel and the fxtures.
Well, after blowing
two fuses in the box, we
realized something was
wrong, and I did a quick
review of the job. It was a
simple matter to fx, and I
was surprised at the time
that he had made such
an elementary mistake
(which also refects that I
knew even less than him!).
Since that time, his
memory has gotten pro-
gressively worse, he now
has trouble remember-
ing the days of the week,
or who close family and
friends are.
When I ref ect on
what he used to be like, Id
say that he had the traits of
a classic Type A personal-
ity, but not the character.
What I mean is that he was
seldom idle, with some-
thing always on the go, but
he never showed the more
negative side of a Type A
personality.
Besides running a
medium sized mixed farm
full time, he also volun-
teered for the local Pool
Elevator, served the local
United Church in Bass-
wood for many years, sat
on the local R.M. council,
and even found the time
to bowl during winter
weeknights.
Yet, unlike many of
the Type As Ive met, he
was the most patient man
I know. He had lots of ex-
cuses to lose his cool, giv-
en that he had to teach all
seven of his kids the basics
(and more) of farm life.
Over his farm life, he had
to show each of us kids the
best ways to jump start the
W6, remove the shovels
from a cultivator, when to
start swathing, or how to
milk a cow.
He also let us make
our own mistakes, and
was patient enough to let
us practice all the things
that are learned only by
hands-on learning. From
my own experience I
know there are few more
frustrating things than to
watch someone struggle
to hammer in a nail yet
Charlie had to watch it
happen seven diferent
times over the years. As
far as I know he never
once said, in frustration,
here, give me that ...
He was the f rst
grandchild on both sides
of his parents families, so
I think he always felt a cer-
tain obligation to family.
Family, both our immedi-
ate one and the extended
family, was very impor-
tant to him. It seems that
a month wouldnt go by
without some sort of large
family gathering, or a joint
project that required a
Kingdon family work bee.
Interestingly, I think
this is one of those frus-
trating issues he now faces
he knows he should be
able to recognize those
closest to him, but his
brain is letting him down.
Yet, he was never a
nostalgic man, and never
dwelled in the past. He
was an innovator in many
respects, and unlike me,
never seemed to view the
pace of change with re-
gret. In fact, he would
likely view these ram-
blings of mine as a bit too
much.
In the end, as I watch
my father methodically at-
tend to his chores, I realize
that I can use both verb
tenses. He was a mas-
ter farmer, fxer of things
structural, mechanical
and electrical, and a pil-
lar of the community. He
is also humble, kind, and
gentle. You cant ask for
much more than that in a
dad.

A
group of local quilters
are using their hobby
to raise money for a good
cause as well as spark con-
versations about breast
cancer.
Quilters 4 a Cause
is a group of four local
women - Nancy Flynn,
Diana Gilleshammer, Tami
Johnson and Brenda
Hodges, who have created
a one-of-a-kind keepsake
quilt which they are raf-
fing of to raise money for
a good cause.
All of the money
raised through our raf e
will be donated towards
the Erickson and R.M. of
Clanwilliam endowment
fund as well as Cancer
Care Manitoba, explained
Gilleshammer (pictured
above).
We have already sold
$600 worth of raf e tickets
and this quilt has also be-
come a conversation start-
er. It is truly amazing how
many peoples lives have
been touched by breast
cancer.
Raf e tickets are avail-
able at the Minnedosa and
Erickson Credit Union and
Minnedosa Pharmacy.
Te draw will be made in
Erickson on October 25th.

T
he Province of Mani-
toba passed legis-
lation in 2012 forcing
municipalities with popu-
lations of less than 1,000
to complete a plan to
amalgamate by Decem-
ber 2nd, 2013. Te R.M.
of Blanshard, the R.M. of
Saskatchewan, and the
Town of Rapid City have
agreed to amalgamate to
become the Rural Munici-
pality of Oakview.
Due to amalgama-
tion, there will be many
changes in the upcoming
municipal election.
Te f rst council of
the R. M. of Oakview will
be composed of a head of
council and six council-
lors. Te head of council
will be elected at large
from the current mu-
nicipalities of Blanshard,
Saskatchewan, and Rapid
City (one reeve will be
elected as opposed to two
reeves and one mayor).
T e councillors of the
new municipality are to
be elected on the basis of
two councillors elected at
large from the following
wards:
Ward 1 Currently
the Town of Rapid City
(two councillors elected at
large instead of six)
Ward 2 Currently
the R. M. of Saskatchewan
(two councillors elected at
large instead of six elected
by ward)
Ward 3 - Currently
the R. M. of Blanshard
(two councillors elected at
large instead of six)
A Local Urban Dis-
trict of Rapid City will be
formed efective Janu-
ary 1st, 2015. Te L.U.D.
of Rapid City will be the
boundaries of the current
Town of Rapid City. Te
committee of the L.U.D. is
to be composed of a coun-
cillor (one elected in Ward
1 will be appointed to sit
on the committee) and
three committee mem-
bers. Tree committee
members of the L.U.D.
are to be elected by vot-
ers of the current Town of
Rapid City at the munici-
pal election on October
22nd, 2014. Te Local Ur-
ban District of Oak River
will continue to operate
with three members of the
committee of the L.U.D.
elected by voters of the
Village of Oak River.
Terefore, assuming
that more candidates are
nominated than there are
positions to f ll, an elec-
tion will be held and vot-
ers could be asked to vote
as follows:
Ward 1 electors could
vote for a Reeve; up to two
councillors for Ward 1;
and up to three committee
members for the L.U.D. of
Rapid City
Ward 2 electors could
vote for a Reeve and up to
two councillors for Ward 2
Ward 3 electors could
vote for a Reeve and up to
two councillors for Ward
3.
However, electors in
the L.U.D. of Oak River
would also be entitled to
vote for up to three com-
mittee members for the
L.U.D. of Oak River.
Nominations are be-
ing accepted as per the
advertisements published
below and it is hoped that
anyone having questions
regarding the election
process for the new mu-
nicipality will contact Di-
ane Kuculym, SEO of the
R. M. of Oakview.
R.M. of Oakview Changes Due to Amalgamation

We thought of you

But thats not something new.
We thought about you
yesterday and every day
before that too.
Tough your smile is gone
forever and your hand we
cannot touch,

memories of the one we
loved so much.
Te fowers we plant
upon your grave,
they wither and decay.
But our love for you who
sleeps beneath will never
fade away.
If fowers grow in
heaven Lord,
please pick a bunch
for us, gently lay them
in her arms and tell
her, theyre from us.
Always loved and sadly
missed by Mom and Dad,

February th,
- August th,
Barbara Ann Cook of Clanwilliam, Manitoba passed away on
August 19th, 2014 at the Health Science Centre in Winnipeg,
Manitoba at the age of 50 years.
Barbara Ann Johnston was born at the Erickson District
Hospital. She attended Erickson Elementary and graduated from
Erickson Collegiate. Barb also attended Assiniboine College and
graduated from the Business/Accounting Program in 1984. She
was confrmed in the Erickson Lutheran Church. Curling was also
a big part of her life.
Barb worked at a number of jobs before opening up her childrens
store, Little Boutique, in Erickson.
She met and then married Ken Cook in April 1988 and they settled on Kens
uncles farm near Clanwilliam. Teir son, Brendan, was born in February 1989.
After working a few years at Riding Mountain National Park, she went into partnership and
opened a Dollar Store in Minnedosa. Later she bought out her partners and became the sole
owner of the Minnedosa Dollar Store which she operated for 19 years. She loved people, evident
in what lengths she would go to fnd what her customers needed.
Barb was involved with the local Chamber of Commerce, on the Minnedosa Credit Union
Board, and the Clanwilliam Hall Board. She volunteered her time and talents to many events:
the curling club and bonspiels, safe grad, and any cause she could participate in some way
defnitely a community supporter. Tis led her into a catering business known as Cookins
Catering. She loved to cook for, and feed people.
Barb was well known in the community; she loved children, helped the elderly, and always had a
smile, kind words and a listening ear. Her family loved and adored her, especially grandchildren,
nieces and nephews. As one niece said, It was always an adventure going to Aunty Barbs house .
Tese are some of the kind words that have been said of Barb on Facebook: willingness to help,
beauty, grace, kindness, wonderful smile, awesome, caring, humorous, cheerful, fun loving, ray
of sunshine, uplifting, earth angel. We agree, and as someone said, youve earned your wings.

appreciation for wildlife, quite often he would be working on some type of mount for either
himself or a friend. Shawn was also an avid hunter, trapper and loved to go fshing in his boat. In
the of season he would be found working for hours in his work shop mastering his craft of wood
working. He had a keen interest in antiques, coin collecting and hockey memorabilia. Just this
year Shawn and his dad have been in the process of obtaining parts to restore his 1966 Beaumont
to its original condition.
In the fall of 2013 Shawn decided to pursue his secondary education at the Red River College
in Winnipeg. A two year course in Aviation Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. Shawn was to begin
his fnal year in August.
He is survived by his parents Dave and Cheryl and his sister Jennifer, a special grandpa Jack
Gibbons and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins who had a special place in his heart.
