Well we sure have
started the New Year off
with cold weather. Wind
chills are making it that
much worse, and some
events have had to be
cancelled because of it.
Make sure to bundle up
if you’re going outdoors
for any length of time.
Our cat wants to go
outside these days, but
sticks her nose out the
door and wants back in.
She must have a short
memory because she
does this several times
a day. I must say the
Sun Dogs sure did look
beautiful the other day
though! The cold is also
good for killing germs,
and this should help
the flu and colds from
spreading somewhat.
Wasn’t that a great
hockey game the other
night between the
Canadians and Russians,
in the World Junior
Hockey Tournament? I was on the edge of
my seat for most the
night but thrilled with
the outcome when we
finally won the Gold.
It was a very proud and
well-deserved moment
for our Canadian boys.
It was a disappointing
loss for the Jets against
the Sharks that same
night though, losing in

Mrs. Gertie Friesen
was held on December

on December 20th after
a short illness. The
Rosenort EMC church
was well filled with
many relatives and
friends. The family
gave tributes and had
special music. Pastor
Nick Klassen had a
short meditation. Mrs.
Friesen is survived by
5 daughters and 2 sons,
she was predeceased by
her husband Peter L and
one daughter. Members
of the Friesen family just
recently gathered at the

Condolences to all!
The school doors
have once again opened,
it was almost the coldest

minus 45 with the wind
chill factored before
school is cancelled, I
think today it was minus

over!!I must mention the
sad news of one of the
former staff at Rosenort,
Colleen Kachur- Reico

Dave Kirkpatrick (stick

If anyone hasn’t
had a chance to look at
the renovations at the
curling rink, you’ll be
pleasantly surprised. It
really is an excellent
improvement to the
facility and a very
welcome addition. It
has slowed the curling
season down quite a
bit as the ladies league
just got underway this
Wednesday. We are
pleased to have a ladies
team from Ridgeville
joining us this year, so
we have a round number
draw of 6. The men’s
and the stick-curling
league got a couple of
games in during the
Christmas season. The
men are down to 6 rinks
but the stick curling has
been well attended so
far. Spectators as well
as players are always
welcome.

“To the Point”
By Jeremy Bradley
This better not be an
I-told-you-so
It’s been a long time
since I’ve commented
about Justin Bieber
in this column. (I do,
however, talk about
him frequently on my
entertainment radio
show.) This time it’s
not about his arrogance,
though almost any sort
of commentary one
makes will have an
audience feel strongly
one way or the other
on that.
This time it is about
his crazed fans. In short:
they are psychotic. And
that’s not normally a
word you should use in
a newspaper to describe
people but I will prove
my point with quotes
from his crazed fans.
Bieber is seen halfnaked in a new Calvin
Klein ad. You might
recall, anytime Bieber
is rumoured to be in a
new relationship, his
flavour of the month
often gets harassing and
threatening messages on
social media. This time,
the girl in question is
a model pictured with
Bieber in the ads –
not even romantically
linked to the Canadian
wannabe thug. And as
gossip website TMZ
noted, the mob is out
for blood.
Posted by TMZ:
“One girl was direct,
tweeting, “I’ll kill that
girl.” In case it was
too subtle, the chick
followed the threat
up with emojis of 3
guns and a knife, and
a collage, featuring a
girl brandishing a gun.
Another girl was just as
crazy, saying, “hi bitch
i hate u. touch justins
d*** again and ill kill
u im not joking.”And
there’s this ... “back
off or i’ll kill you,
please and thanks. no
pressure :)”(Can we
agree that “psychotic”
is an appropriate word
now?)
So while teenage
Bieber might have loved
the attention from crazed
fans I can only imagine
how the grownup
Bieber is dealing with it.
Granted, he’s probably
too busy with his booze,
drugs and hookers to
pay much attention so
he probably just rolls his
eyes now.
Bieber has in the past
-- and now would be a
good time to continue
-- stuck up for the girls
in question through
playful posts on social
media. And maybe the
hate happens so often
that he just brushes off
the drama.
But all it takes is one
sad and desperate girl to
act on such threats and
this will turn into one of
those situations where
we can’t say, “Wow,
never saw this coming.”
That’s my point.

Delivering Long-Term Jobs for
Canadians
Our Government
remains focused on what
matters to Canadians:
creating jobs, economic
growth and long-term
p r o s p e r i t y. M a n y
employers and job
seekers agree that there
are too many people
without jobs and too
many jobs without
people. The goal of
our Jobs Agenda is to
fix this problem.
We h a v e b e e n
working with the
provinces and
territories to deliver the
Canada Job Grant, an
innovative, employerdriven approach to help
Canadians gain the skills
and training they need to
fill available jobs.
The new Canada
Apprentice Loan, for
instance, offers up to
$4,000 interest-free
per period of Red Seal
technical training.
We will continue to
provide further support
to youth by offering
tax credits, such as the
tuition, education and
textbook tax credits,
t h e t r a d e s p e r s o n ’s
tools deduction and
the Apprenticeship Job
Creation Tax Credit.
September 2014 marked
500,000 apprenticeship
grants issued to help
young Canadians
pursue careers in
the skilled trades, a
significant milestone in
our Government’s Jobs
Agenda.
In the coming
months, two new
innovative online tools
will be launched: the
Career Choice Tool
and an enhanced Job
Match service. The
Career Choice tool will
provide more and better
information on the
benefits of working in
various occupations and
promote good careers in
such high-demand fields
as science, technology,
e n g i n e e r i n g ,
mathematics and the
skilled trades. The Job
Match service will
connect unemployed
Canadians with
employers in their
region who are seeking
workers with their skill
set.

Canadian businesses.
By renewing and
expanding the Targeted
Initiative for Older
Wor ke r s initia tiv e ,
we are helping older
workers in communities
with tighter labour
markets develop the
skills needed to fill
vacant jobs.
Additionally, our
Government also
launched a new Panel on
Employment Challenges
of New Canadians as
part of the action plan
to improve foreign
credential recognition
for internationally
trained professionals.
As of 2014, we continue
to provide financial
support to improve
credential recognition
in 24 target occupations
that represent over 80
percent of newcomers.
This financial support
includes a microloans
pilot project to help
internationally trained
workers cover the cost of
having their credentials
recognized, benefiting
more than 1,400 skilled
newcomers.
Canada needs strong
economic leadership,
a n d t h a t ’s e x a c t l y
what our Conservative
Government is
delivering. We will
continue to work hard
on behalf of Canadian
families and our Jobs
Agenda will help ensure
that Canadians have
the skills and training
needed in the labour
market of today and in
the years ahead.

Manitoba RCMP Respond To Fewer Fatal Collisions
In 2014
One death on
Manitoba roadways
is one too many, but
2014 saw a significantly
lower number of fatal
collisions than average.
In 2014, there were
68 fatal collisions on
Manitoba roadways
resulting in 73 deaths.
In 2013, there were 81
fatal collisions resulting
in 95 deaths. The fiveyear average (20092013) for fatal collisions
is 82.8 with 92 deaths.
In the eastern part
of the province, there
were 27 fatal collisions
resulting in 30 deaths.
There were 29 fatal
collisions resulting in
30 deaths in the western
part of Manitoba, and
the northern part of the
province saw 12 fatal
collisions resulting in
13 deaths. Of the 68
fatal collisions, 59 were
roadway crashes (69
in 2013) and 9 were
off-road vehicle (ORV)
crashes (12 in 2013).
Many of the fatal
collisions RCMP
responded to in 2014
were preventable. In
56% of the collisions,

It Occurs to Me
What’s for dinner?
By Joanne Graydon
I must have over
thirty cookbooks.
Some are old and
tattered but some have
barely cracked spines.
I probably spend more
time dusting them off
and re-stacking them
than actually reading
them. But I always think
one day I might just look
for a recipe, find the
savoury ingredients and
prepare a delicious meal
for my family. There are
titles like, “Grandma’s
Home Cooking” and “A
Taste of Home”. I have
“The Joy of Cooking”
(printed in 1964) and
the Better Homes and
Gardens “New Cook
Book” seventh edition
from 1974. Some of
the pages are spotted
with crusty fingerprints
and some are dog-eared
for future reference but
to be honest, I haven’t
opened one of those
cookbooks in years.
“It Occurs to Me”
cooking is a chore I’d
like to ignore. But,
we have to eat... so I
have learned to prepare
simple basics with
reasonable skill. When
I make the trip to the
grocery store, with a
list in hand, the cart fills
up with the same foods
time after time. I stick
to the four food groups
choosing foods that will
be nutritious but I rarely
ever reach for anything
that might require

by alcohol or drugs
was involved in 43% of
the collisions, with the
average blood alcohol
content of tested drivers
being two and a half
times the legal limit and
the highest being almost
four and a half times
the legal limit. In many
of the collisions, more
than one of these factors
played a role.

of the deceased were

In ORV/motorcycle
crashes, 58% of the
deceased were not

and bake. I know how
to chop, dice and shred.
But when it comes to
combining different
foods, making hearty
sauces or applying
appetizing seasonings
I’m about as successful
as someone nailing jello
to a tree.
During the holidays
I hauled out my blank
book which holds handcopied recipes I’ve used
for years. At the back
there is a list of foods
I’ve prepared over
and over for the last
twenty holidays. Most
of the recipes are for
baking but there are a
few others that have
become my signature
dishes. I don’t stray too
far from success and the
family can rely on my
“usual” contribution to
the festive table. But
being comfortable with
a few chosen recipes
doesn’t make a good
cook. It just shows how
my interest in cooking
has become scrambled,
curdled and lumpy.
I remember an old
Weightwatchers saying,
“We should eat to live,
not live to eat”. And
my non-complaining
husband rarely utters a

One fatal collision is
presumed caused by a
driver using a hand-held
electronic device while
driving.
While the overall
number of fatal
collisions in Manitoba
was lower in 2014, the
fact remains that 73
Manitobans lost their
lives on our roadways.

plate of unremarkable
food on the table.
He might say, “What
is this?” or “Hmmm
this looks interesting”
but he finishes every
bite without objection.
Maybe I need to watch
a few cooking shows?
Or dust off one of those
cookbooks and open it?
The problem is, I really
am not very confident
in the kitchen and that‘s
my biggest hurdle!
I’ve been hearing
about new and unusual
ways of cooking but
have no idea what
they mean. “Molecular
gastronomy” seems to
be on the cutting edge of
food preparation lately
including experimental
cuisine as well as
emotional cuisine. If
experimenting means
substituting taco sauce
for chilli peppers then
I’m right on track. And
if I’m feeling blue or
overwhelmed with
kitchen duties then I’m
certainly an emotional
chef. “Haute Cuisine”
is far from arriving
anywhere close to this
kitchen with its lavish
plating and unique
cooking styles. My
comfort cuisine relies

on meat and potatoes
with a few green things
on the side!
I guess the only way
I’ll see beyond making
creamy casseroles,
stewed meat and
potatoes and a few pots
of simmering soup is
to crack open one of
those cookbooks and
find something I can
successfully create. In
the meantime, on a daily
basis, I hear the age old
question, “What’s for
dinner?”

THE SOUTHEAST JOURNAL
Manitoba’s Set Date
Election Moves To April
2016 Submitted by Elections Manitoba
Manitoba’s set date
provincial election is
now officially moved to
April 19, 2016. Under
section 49.1(3) of The
Elections Amendment
Act, the provincial
election date moves
from October 6, 2015
to the third Tuesday
of April 2016 if, by
January 1, 2015, the
federal election date has
not been changed. The
change to Manitoba’s
set election date was
adopted to eliminate
overlap between the
timing of provincial and
federal elections.
As a result of this
change, the calendar
year for determining
advertising limits in
the year of a fixed date
election will now be
2016. The Election
Financing Act (EFA)
imposes limits on
advertising by registered
parties and candidates in
the year of a fixed date
election. Under section
58(1) of the EFA, the
advertising limit is set at
$268,000 for registered
parties outside the
election period and
under section 58(2) of
the EFA for registered
parties and under section
58(2) the advertising
limit is set at $6,500
outside the election
period for candidates.
These limits are subject
to inflation adjustment
as per section 59 of the
legislation.
The advertising
limit for the fixed date
election year is separate
and in addition to the
limit for the election
period (writ day to
election day). There is
no limit for advertising
in a non-election year
or in the year of a nonfixed date election (e.g.
a by-election).
