Over $100,000 Minnedosa Money Spent Locally

The nice thing about
Minnedosa Money is that
it is similar to a gift certifi-
cate, but is not limited to
a single business. People
can buy the coupons in
varying denomination,
and spend it at any mer-
chant they wish. some
people will use it and just
buy their groceries with it,
and so its free groceries
for a week, and others will
save it and buy something
big in town, just because
its like mad money, said
Ross.
The Minnedosa cur-
rency can also be used for
staff bonuses in the work-
place, which would once
again encourage people to
spend their money locally
in order to keep the econ-
omy strong. Everybody
wants to see a busy main
street and active, prosper-
spiels and hockey tourna-
ments, so its a way to give
back to ensure that those
businesses are able to give
those contributions.
According to Ross, the
currency could use more
advertisement, because
there are still places that
are unaware of it. This is
especially true with places
that might have a higher
staff turnover, where new-
er staff members might
not know about it. How-
ever, Minnedosa Money is a positive for them. It
has been advertised by the
Minnedosa Chamber of
Commerce. Ross also not-
ed that when a business is
unaware of Minnedosa
Celtic Power & Machining
Money, they can simply
call either himself or Carol
Taylor at the Credit Union,
and they will explain the
concept to the business,
to ensure that they are on
board.
Ross commented that
any of the merchants that
you talk to are happy that
its available. I dont think
the volume is making it a
significant difference to
them, but the idea that
townspeople shop local
is important to continue
to shop local, and sup-
port your neighbours, and

Moments in Riding Mountain: When Carnivores Clash
By KEN KINGDON
N ature, red in tooth and
claw. This phrase was
used, I believe, to describe
how meek and mild ani-
mals are slaughtered by fe-
rocious wild beasts.
However, sometimes
there is fighting between
the toothiest and claw-
i-est of the bunch. Now
why would one meat-eater
want to duke it out with
another?
Ecologists would sug-
gest two main reasons its
either caused by competi-
tion between species or
else its a case of one spe-
cies viewing the other as
lunch.
Over the Christmas
season, I was once again
reminded of how competi-
tion and hunger can make
for some interesting nature
observations.
First the hunger part.
Park employee Ross Rob-
inson was doing some
tracking when he came
across a site where a bear
had been killed and eaten
by wolves near Lake Audy.
Judging from the
scene, and the state of the
leftovers, it was pretty ob-
vious that the bear was
treated as a tasty morsel, as
there wasnt much left of
the animal.
The bear itself looked
72%(287%<$0
quite young, judging by
the few parts of the bear
that remained the skull
and one front paw. It had
been recently killed as
there were still a lot of fresh
tracks throughout the area.
Th e interesting point
is that the bear had been
killed within 6 to 8 meters
of its well-built den, so
it didnt get very far be-
fore being set upon by the
wolves.
How and why the
wolves killed the bear re-
mains a mystery. There are
a lot of bears in the Park,
yet it is rare that we find ev-
idence of them getting dug
out of their dens by wolves.
A previous bear study
in the Park suggested that
bears killed during the
winter were already suffer-
ing from some sort of in-
jury. It was hypothesised
by the researchers that the
wolves sensed these inju-
ries, and actively tried to

the bear was healthy, the cies killing another related around the midriff, the anger or disgust at the ac-

On paper this makes

O ne of the major
causes of disempow-
erment of girls in poverty
is their monthly cycle.
Many girls cannot afford
feminine hygiene prod-
ucts and as a result cannot
attend school.
A girl absent from
school due to menstrua-
tion for four days of ev-
ery 28 day cycle loses 13
learning days, the equiva-
lent of two weeks of learn-
ing every school term.
Studies show that every
year of schooling increas-
es a girls future earning
power by 10 to 20 percent,
allowing her to break the
cycle of poverty. There
are millions of girls and
women worldwide who
suffer days of isolation, in-
fection, and exploitation
due to this single issue-- it
will take all of us to reach
in 100+ nations. You can
help us reach the rest.
Every washable Femi-
nine Hygiene Kit gives
back up to six months of
living in just three years
of use. Thats 180 days of
education, health, safety
and dignity.
Each kit contains a
drawstring cotton bag, two
moisture barrier cotton
shields to hold the liners
in place, eight absorbent
tri-fold fl annel liners, one
wash cloth, one travel size
soap, two zip lock bags
for laundering items with

Congregate Meal Program In Sandy Lake
By HILLARY CAMPBELL
C ommunity members
of Sandy Lake have
joined together to orga-
nize a new congregate
meal program. While
there are many of these
programs around Mani-
toba that have started over
the years, this is only the
second week that the pro-
gram has existed in Sandy
Lake.
Doreen Stapleton,
Chair for the Age Friendly
Initiative Committee for
Harrison-Park said that
the congregate lunch will
happen every Tuesday at
the Sandy Lake Drop-In
Centre. Last week was
our first week, and it must
have been okay because
50-some people are back
again, said Stapleton.
The chef for the meals,
Helen Caird, comes from
Newdale, and also cooks
the congregate meals in
Newdale, which occur
three times a week. On
Tuesday, she was serving
roast beef and mashed
potatoes, among other
side dishes. Next week
the plan is to serve pork
chops. Stapleton noted
that We are very pleased
to have her, because she
has been doing this in
Newdale for 11 years. So
it is good for us newbies to
have her experience.
According to Staple-
ton, the benefi ts to the
congregate meal are two-
fold. Firstly, the meals
follow the Canada Food
Guide, which allows at-
tendees a healthy meal.
Secondly, and as Staple-
ton notes, more impor-
tantly, it gets them up, it option for meals to be

them with other people. It

is the whole idea of social
inclusion. With this in
mind, the Drop In Centre
also held a game of card
bingo after the lunch was
over, to allow people to
continue their social visit.
Sandy Lake is, in large
part, a retirement com-
munity so, its the perfect
place to have it. Weve
got a lot of elderly people
who are never going to
make a meal like this on
their own, for themselves,
so they can come out and
enjoy not only a meal, Photo by Hillary Campbell

friends, said Stapleton. meal itself costs only $8 had been awaiting fund- to members of the Sandy
