at the Mavericks game
Saturday. Behind the plate to catch it will be his older
brother Gladwyn, who was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008.
When asked about his reaction to hearing that
the fi eld will be named in his honour, Scott said,
Quite frankly I was stunned. Quite an honour and
I felt just really humble I dont even know if I have
the words to describe the way I felt.
Born in McConnell, MB, Scott was a prolifi c athlete in Manitoba sports. He played both hockey and
football at Brandon College, where he was inducted
into the Brandon University Wall of Fame; his brother Gladwyn, whom Glennis played with at Brandon
College, is also an inductee.
Scott went on to play 15 years in the Manitoba
Senior Baseball League and also represented Canada at a number of international events. At one point
in his youth, he was invited to the spring training of
the St. Louis Cardinals, although Scott turned down
the offer to focus on his career as an educator.

board of the Minnedosa and District
Health Foundation have decided to
invest $100,000 toward the new Dr.

Foundation recently presented a
cheque to members of the Primary

Care Centre committee in front of

the Minnedosa District Health Centre.
The new clinic will be built directly across the street, to the west
of the current hospital and construction is hoped to begin in early 2017.
Local residents had an opportunity
to view plans and images of the proposed clinic during a public meeting
held Wednesday night.

of the Minnedosa District Hospital
and Personal Care Home. It was established in order to ensure that all
money donated to the local hospital
and care home is spent on the needs
of those local facilities and local
health care in general.
