J
anuary of 2013 marked
the addition of a new
member to the Tanners
Crossing School Commu-
nity. Tammy is only two
years old, in dog years,
which means she would
have already graduated
in human terms, but that
doesnt stop her from
coming to school to read,
which happens to be a fa-
vourite past time of hers.
Tammy really likes com-
ing to school and Tammy
really likes reading, com-
mented a student in Kin-
dergarten.
Tammy is the relative-
ly new TCS therapy dog.
Calm and loveable, she is
a great companion to stu-
dents as they experience
the unconditional love of
a dog. Coming to class one
day out of the six day cycle,
she attends Kindergarten
to Grade Six classes, and
helps with everything from
math to reading. She also
helps children to deal with
emotions and work on
their friendship skills.
Tis program was or-
ganized by Cheryl Beau-
mont, Lindsay Konsorada,
and Heather Emerson-
Proven. Tammy belongs
to Beaumont and was put
through the St. Johns Am-
bulance Terapy Dog Pro-
gram before being intro-
duced to the kids. Tammy
had to pass two diferent
assessments, one in Win-
nipeg and one in Brandon.
During this time, Tammy
was also able to work with
those at the Neepawa Care
Home. Tey wanted to
make sure that she was
easy going, and had ex-
perience working with
people, says Beaumont.
Beaumont is also respon-
sible for keeping Tammy
well groomed and ft. She
accompanies Tammy as
she moves from class to
class.

P
ie, thick cheeseburgers, and friends. Tese are just a
few of the things that come to mind when thinking of
the Clanwilliam Curling Club. Oh, and I guess I shouldnt
forget the curling. Curling has been an instrumental part
of Clanwilliam since it was admitted as a member to the
Manitoba Curling Association in 1914. In fact, curling has
been around Clanwilliam for so long that no one can re-
member the exact date or location of the frst curling rink.
Te Curling rink that you see today was built in 1972.
We are lucky to have it as a sudden gust of wind nearly
destroyed the building before it was even secured to the
ground. When the curling rink was being built, the la-
dies of Clanwilliam formed their own club. Not ones to
let men have all the fun, they used to curl at the rink in
the afternoon. For the women, it was all about cooking,
cleaning and curling! commented Dorothy Syslak.
Now, the rink has been recently renovated to include
a new area added on to the back for guests to eat, talk,
and play games. Te kitchen has also been updated, but
it is still stocked with all my favourites, including home-
made pie that has been donated by members of the com-
munity.
