T
his past fall Minnedosa Town Council engaged the
services of J. Harper and Associates to conduct a fea-
sibility study on the towns proposed MREC facility.
J. Harper and Associates prepared the feasibility re-
port and presented the fndings to Town Council and the
MREC committee prior to Christmas.
Much to the disappointment of the council and oth-
ers who have dedicated time and energy into perusing a
new recreation centre the report indicated a number of
issues with the Towns business plan and proposed de-
sign.
J. Harpers fndings indicate that while it is evident
the Minnedosa needs to update or replace our current
facility, proceeding with a two sheet complex is not fea-
sible. It is disappointing news for sure. We have had a lot
of people working on this, trying to do a good thing for
Minnedosa, but over the past fve years the landscape
around us has changed quite a bit and that has impacted
a number of factors, commented Minnedosa Mayor, Ray
Orr.
Jack Harper, who is an expert in the feld of recre-
ational facility development, prepared the report with the
best judgment in light of the information available at the
time of preparation.
Te objective of the feasibility report is to acquire a
third party review of the concept, building program and
business plan. Te study assesses the long-term feasibil-
ity, viability and sustainability and also provides a recom-
mended path forward in terms of implementing, post-
poning, staging or abandoning the project.
J. Harper and Associates approached the study by
creating fve questions that test the feasibility of the proj-
ect. Completion of the report showed four of fve ques-
tions receiving negative responses, further indicating
that, in its present form the proposed event centre is
not viable, feasible, or sustainable over the long-term.
Te consultants cannot support the project in its current
form, nor do they believe in abandoning the project.
1 - Local and regional market what is the market
and is it supported by the recommended components
and set of spaces?
Based on the current economic climate in the re-
gion, level of demand, supply of facilities and competi-
tion in the marketplacethere is no evidence that the
market for a MREC will support the components and set
of spaces for the proposed facility, stated the feasibility
report.

Finding a New
Path Forward
MREC Feasibility Study
By JENNIFER PAIGE
A
fter years of assess-
ment and consider-
ation, Rolling River School
Division has completed
the purchase of a new
building for its administra-
tive of ce.
Efective January 1st,
2014, RRSD is the new
owner of the building
located at 36 Armitage
Ave., known to most as
the Minnedosa Provincial
Building.
Te 14,300 square foot
building was previously
owned by a private compa-
ny which held lease agree-
ments with the Provincial
Government. As part of
the purchase agreement,
the school division will be
honoring the current lease
arrangements which are in
efect until December 31st,
2015.
We are excited about
this development and
the positive things it will
mean for the division. Te
building is in a great loca-
tion and it will allow us the
space to do everything we
need. Te previous owner
had lease agreements in
place, so we will not be
moving in until January
1, 2016, but in the mean-
time the building will be a
source of revenue for us,
explained Reg Klassen, su-
perintendent of RRSD.
Te decision to pur-
chase the building has
been a multi-year process
beginning in 2006. Since
that time a number of
studies have been under-
taken to assess the options
that would best address
the issues the division was
facing at its current loca-
tion.
Concerns with the
current administrative
building include an overall
lack of of ce space and in-
adequate space conditions
for some of the staf, spe-
cifcally lacking space for
the Information Technol-
ogy and Student Services
departments, structural
and mechanical issues due
to the age of the building,
need for repair and up-
grades, as well as lack of
space for the transporta-
tion bus storage and parts.
It has taken eight
years to make this deci-
sion and by the time we
get into the building it will
have been ten years since
the school division began
to look at this. It has been a
very careful and somewhat
tedious process to make
sure that we are making
the very best decisions that
we can with our fnances,
continued Klassen.
In 2006, the division
hired LM Architectural
Group to assess and create
a feasibility study on the
current division of ce. Te
study was presented to the
school division board of
directors in 2007, at which
time the Board Division
Of ce Space Review Ad
Hoc Committee was cre-
ated to coordinate the as-
sessment of options and
develop a plan.
Te committee along
with the assistance of
LM Architectural Group,
worked to assess all of the
divisions viable options.
Which included, renovat-
ing the current building
and building new main-
tenance shop; building,
purchasing or leasing
a new space for the ad-
ministration of ce and
moving the maintenance
shop to the current of ce
location; building a new
transportation garage and
maintenance shop and
renovating the current
of ce or building a new
of ce, garage and shop.
We had looked at the
provincial building as an
option a number of years
ago and after all this time
it is still the best option for
us, stated Klassen.

A
t the Manitoba Con-
servation Districts
Association Conference
held in December, the
Little Saskatchewan Riv-
er Conservation District
recognized Charles and
Meriel Tavernor with the
LSRCD Conservation
Award. The following de-
scribes their stewardship
practices.
Charles and Meriel
Tavernor emigrated from
England seven and a half
years ago. Coming from
a dairy, beef, and sheep
background, raising
cattle and/or sheep was
what they planned to do
in Canada. More impor-
tantly than finding a farm
already set-up for those
types of enterprises was
settling in an area that
had the natural features
that they had been used
to in England. The com-
ponents being natural
water features, trees, and
an undulating and pas-
toral landscape. Located
north of Basswood, their
farm lies along the south
side of the Little Sas-
katchewan River Valley.
The picturesque view is
comprised of an undulat-
ing tract of bush, slough,
and farmland that lies
along the valley edge and
runs down approximately
250 feet to the river in the
bottom.
When the Tavernors
purchased their 1,100
acre farm, 800 acres were
under cultivation, 200
acres sustained bush on
the steep valley walls, and
100 acres were comprised
of a mixture of sloughs,
bush and a lake. A Con-
servation Agreement was
completed with the Man-
itoba Habitat Heritage
Corporation to protect
the 300 acres of natural
features.
Early on in the farm
transition process, an
environmental farm plan
was completed. This
tool helped to identify
actions and have access
to expertise and funding
resources to complete
the transition. Guided
by detailed maps to help
them plan perimeter and
cross-fences and buried
water lines and troughs,
the Tavernors have used
a phased approach to
transition the 800 acres of
annual cropland. In turn,
each parcel is fenced, has
watering infrastructure
installed, and is seeded
down to permanent, pe-
rennial forages. Seed-
ing down the annual
cropland to rotationally
grazed forages has sta-
bilized the soil, reduced
water erosion, and at the
same time increased wa-
ter retention. Other ac-
tions taken have been the
restoration of wetlands
by plugging man-made
drainage channels, re-
pairing cuts and gullies,
and planting shelterbelts.
While we are not
necessarily doing any-
thing here that is not be-
ing done equally well or
better by others, we are
doing it against the back-
drop of a very beautiful
tract of countryside.
Charles Tavernor.
The Tavernors have
spent countless hours
fencing and being out
with the cattle. Their
farm is not only the place
where they make their
living it is also their oa-
sis where flora and fauna
abound. As Meriel put it
Our farm is a place that
lifts your heart and not
one that depresses your
soul.
It is for their pas-
sion to integrate farming,
wildlife, conservation,
and environmental stew-
ardship that the Little
Saskatchewan River Con-
servation District recog-
nizes Charles and Me-
riel Tavernor Parkland
Ridge Farm with the 2013
Conservation District
Award.

HIP
By SHAUNA SOTAS-
BURTON
T
he Minnedosa HIP
sure have been playing
on a fast winning streak!
Tey have been lighting up
nets all over the place!
On December 7th
they hosted Carberry in
Minnedosa where Car-
berry provided to be very
good opponents for our
HIP Team. Tey made
our Bombers work for the
puck, but our players came
out with a win of 13-6.
Game scorers were Zach
Lamb, Ryder Smith, Grady
Burton, Matthew Toews
and Colby Pentecost.
December 14th found
the HIP team in a tourna-
ment in Neepawa where
they played against Glad-
stone and Rivers and the
HIPs came out with two
more wins! A big congrat-
ulations goes out to Noah
Cornish who not only
scored his f rst goal, but
he kept scoring to get a hat
trick! Great work Noah!
On December 21st
they played the Rivers Jets
and put another win under
their helmets, winning the
game 16-8. Scorers were
Colby Pentecost, Zach
Lamb, Ryder Smith and
Gavin Smith.
January 4th found our
players in a tournament
in Souris. Our frst game
was against the Wawanesa
Wilds and our Bombers at
frst werent too sure about
the size of the ice surface,
but after they got their
bearings, the played an ex-
cellent game and took the
Wilds for a ride, coming
out on top with a score of
12-8. Scorers were Colby
Pentecost, Zach Lamb, Ry-
der Smith, Matthew Toews
and Gavin Smith.
Te next game in the
tournament our Bomb-
ers played the home town
team, the Souris Squirts
and this was a very close
game right to the end!
Both teams played excep-
tional well and each de-
sired the win. I am proud
to say that our Bombers
came up on top with the
score 10-9! Game scor-
ers were Matthew Toews,
Ryder Smith, Gavin Smith
and Zach Lamb.
Ten next action our
Bombers will see will be on

passing and keep having
fun on the ice!
Atoms
By GARY TOPHAM
T
he Minnedosa Atoms
played two games be-
fore Christmas against Ha-
miota and Neepawa Na-
tives. In both games, the
Atoms played hard, had
many chances to score but
seemed not to be able to
capitalize on their chanc-
es. Scoring a goal in each
game was Cole Topham.
After Christmas, the
Atoms played games
against Shoal Lake and
Neepawa Hawks. Te At-
oms must of had a little
too much turkey over the
break and could not score
in either game!
Over the January 4th
to 6th weekend, the Atom
Bombers played in the Ru-
ral Tournament of Cham-
pions over in Neepawa. Te
frst two games saw the At-
oms play against Killarney
and Gladstone. Congratu-
lations to Kyler Sutherland
for scoring our only goal in
these two games. Assists
going to Austin Taylor and
Victor Lamb.
Sunday morning, saw
us up against Shoal Lake
in the B-Side semi fnal.
T is was the Bombers
best game of the weekend.
Every time the Bombers
would get within one goal,
the opposition seemed to
be able to sneak another
one in. Final score of 7-5
for Shoal Lake. Scoring for
the Bombers were Bryden
McFarlane with the hat
trick, single goals by Chase
Miller and Cole Topham.
Assists to Cole Topham
with two and Callie Magu-
ire with one.
Our next action is this
Sunday in Straithclair.
Come out and cheer your
local team!

DATED this 10 day oI January, 2014
SANDY LAKE CREDIT UNION LIMITED
By Order oI the Board oI Directors
SUBMITTED
S
unrise Credit Union
and Sandy Lake Credit
Union are pleased to an-
nounce they have entered
into discussions and com-
menced due diligence ac-
tivities with the intention
to amalgamate by May
2014.
Sandy Lake Credit
Union CEO Iris Popple-
stone said in a statement
We feel that amalgama-
tion will strengthen our f-
nancial position and help
us continue to provide the
best products and services
to our membership. Also,
we want to give our people
the best tools for the job. A
merger with Sunrise Credit
Union will create the ca-
pacity to make that hap-
pen.
Because a merger
with Sandy Lake Credit
Union would account for
less than a 10% increase
in assets, the merger can
be approved by the Sun-
rise Credit Union Board
of Directors without a full
membership vote.
Sandy Lake Credit
Union members, however,
will have the opportunity
to vote at their next Annual
General Meeting to be held
in Sandy Lake on January
27th.
We warmly welcome
Sandy Lake Credit Union
members to the Sunrise
family. By joining togeth-
er and sharing resources
such as technology, f-
nance, knowledge and ex-
perience, ef ciencies will
improve, allowing access
to increased products and
services which will provide
greater value to our com-
bined membership and
communities, stated Har-
ry Bowler, President/CEO
of Sunrise Credit Union.
Sandy Lake will mark
the 14th community served
by Sunrise Credit Union.
Sandy Lake contributes
approximately $17 million
of assets to the organiza-
tion bringing the amal-
gamated total assets close
to $800 million serving ap-
proximately 22,000 mem-
bers. Both Sandy Lake and
Sunrise Credit Unions are
member owned commu-
nity focused organizations
dedicated to providing
personalized competitive
fnancial services for the
beneft of members and
communities. It is these
foundational and co-op-
erative philosophies that
bring these two like-mind-
ed Credit Unions together.
Tere are no planned
job cuts resulting from the
merger and Sandy Lake
employees will enjoy an
expanded range of de-
velopment opportunities
available through Sunrise
Credit Union.)
Sunrise and Sandy Lake Credit Unions intend to Merge

att Inglis, Vice-president
Tijs Vandelangemheen,
Secretary Drew Horner,
Treasurer - James Reid,

we still have some older
4-H members such as Ste-
phen Hinsburg, Laura
Horner, and Sean Horner
to help us. Our club lead-
ers are Allan Horner, Deb
Inglis, and Diane Van-
delangemheen .
At our December
meeting, each member
brought a secret Santa
present then each indi-
vidual got to choose a
wrapped gift which they
could keep or trade. Choc-
olate presents are always a
hit!
Our club had a weigh
day on December 14th and
we had a potluck after the
weighing. Our clubs next
activity will be completing
our annual estimates for
our beef projects which are
due at our January meet-
ing.
