A
s doctor shortages
continue to plague ru-
ral communities across the
province, new legislative
changes have come into
efect giving patients a new
option in accessing their
health care needs.
As of January 1st the
provincial government
has implemented legisla-
tive changes that will see
new practice guidelines
for pharmacists, allowing
them the option to provide
customers with a broader
range of health care ser-
vices.
Te proposed chang-
es that have legally come
into efect at the beginning
of January have been go-
ing through the pharma-
ceutical association and
the government bodies for
a number of years and it
has dragged on much lon-
ger than anyone thought
it would take to imple-
ment, explained Wayne
Currah, Pharmacist at the
Minnedosa Pharmacy.
Under the new legisla-
tion pharmacists will have
the authority to prescribe
prescriptions for minor
alignments like acne, ath-
letes foot and smoking
cessation. Tey will also
have the ability to admin-
ister certain vaccines to
individuals over the age
of seven, such as publicly
funded vaccines for infu-
enza, pneumococcal, and
the Human Pamplona Vac-
cine.
Pharmacists will now
have the ability to issue
short-term refll prescrip-
tions for patients with
chronic conditions, give
out prescriptions in emer-
gencies, tweak doctors
prescriptions in terms of
dosage, strength and in-
tervals, order certain lab
tests, give advice on self-
administered tests and
can also prescribe and
demonstrate medical de-
vices such as, asthma in-
halers.
We are now also
able to fll continued care
prescriptions, which are
patients that have regu-
lar, ongoing prescriptions
dealing with chronic issues
like blood pressure, arthri-
tis or diabetes, continued
Currah. Tis is some-
thing that is extremely
helpful to the public here
in Minnedosa with the
ongoing doctor shortage,
but also for when unfore-
seen issues arise like last
week, for example, when
Dr. Hussain was stuck
at the airport in Toronto
and unable to be at the
clinic. Tis ability to fll
continued care prescrip-
tions gives people some
breathing room. Tey are
still going to have to see a
doctor eventually, but in
the short term or when is-
sues come up, we are able
to step up and help them
out.
Under the new phar-
maceutical act, pharmacy
technicians who are inter-
ested in providing these
additional services will be
required to undergo ad-
ditional training that will
educate them on proper
procedures, safety issues,
customer confdentiality,
and training on how to
handle possible allergic
reactions.
I am on the fence at
this point. Up until the last
few months I was against
the idea, but with the lo-
cal changes in doctors and
health care accessibility,
I am leaning towards it.
But there are certainly a
number of hoops to jump
through and it is uncertain
as to when the local situ-
ation will change again,
added Currah.
Currah brings up a
number of concerns from
the view point of the phar-
macists, including the
issue of patient safety,
compensation, training
expenses and how often
training will be required.
A big concern is that
when these drugs are ad-
ministered in health care
facilities, they have the
infrastructure to fall back
on, said Currah.

F
or the past 20-plus years
Anna Hofer has been
growing her Christmas col-
lection which all started
when she picked out her
very frst Christmas tree in
the late 80s.
Growing up on a Hut-
terite colony we never had
a Christmas tree. Christmas
celebrations there are kept
very simple and focused.
So my frst Christmas tree
didnt come until I was fully
grown with my own family
in the late 1980s. I wanted
something special, not just
your average Christmas
tree, said Anna who has
lived in Minnedosa with
her husband, James Hofer
for the past four years.
Over the course of col-
lecting a few hundred an-
gels the Hofer family has
upgraded their Christmas
tree a number of times
in order to have enough
branches to host all the an-
gels.
Most of these were
given to us as gifts. Once my
family and friends found
out about the collection
they would bring me an an-
gel anytime they went any-
where. Tey come from all
over Canada and all over
the world, Anna added.
Anna noted that every
one of the angels comes
with its own story and
special memory of who or
where it came from. Along
with receiving the angels
through gifts, the Hofers
would often stop in at craft
sales when their son would
be attending hockey tour-
naments and James would
often bring home angel
ornaments from all across
Canada when travelling as
a truck driver.
My favourite angel
is from when my nephew
was in a Christmas play
years ago. He was dressed
up as an angel in the play.
I took a photo and then
mounted it on a piece of
wood. He is all grown up
now, but he will always be
my favourite angel, said
Anna.
With hundreds of an-
gels to decorate with the
Hofers enlist the help of
their grandchildren, set-
ting the tree up on No-
vember 1st and keeping
it up until after Ukrainian
Christmas has past every
year.

T
he Winnipeg trio, Red
Moon Road stopped
in at Tanners Crossing
School on the evening
of Tuesday, January 14th
charming the audience
with a few smooth harmo-
nies.
Te trio, who has per-
formed for audiences all
across Canada, is made
up of Daniel Jordon, Dan-
iel Peloquin-Hopfner and
Sheena Rattai.
Pel oqui n- Hopf ner
brings a number of talents
to the stage, playing man-
dolin, banjo, guitar and
delay pedals. Jordon plays
the guitar and bass drum,
while Rattai compliments
the group with vocals.
Te pit at TCS came
alive with the groups lush
and lively take on mod-
ern roots and folk pieces.
Audience members were
equally amused by the
groups stage banter.
Te group performed
a variety of folk, pop and
country pieces, melding
great instrumentation
with beautiful harmonies.
Jordon notes that much of
their music is infuenced
by their love of nature.
Our favourite songs
are the ones we cant re-
produce. We are very
much inspired by nature
and campfre songs. Basi-
cally what we do on stage
is the same thing that we
do around the campfre,
just a little more polished,
said Jordon.
Currently, the group
has a self-titled album
released as well as an EP,
Tales from the Whiteshell
which they released in
March of last year.
Following up their
Minnedosa concert, Red
Moon Road will stop in
Neepawa for a perfor-
mance on January 16th
and have a number of fes-
tival concerts booked for
the summer months.
Te f nal presentation
from the Expressions con-
cert series will take place
on February 7th with
MTCs play, Miracle on

Bantams
By CRISSY KOWAL
T
he Bantam Bombers
faced of fve times over
the Christmas break with
four regular season games
and one exhibition. Sun-
day, December 22nd the
team travelled to Brandon
to face of with Te Police
Assoc. Jets. Te game was
close for two periods with
Minnedosa taking a 2-1
lead into the third. Te
Bombers opened things
up early in the fnal frame
and broke away from the
opposition taking home
a 7-1 win. Braeden Good
2G,1A; Joel Hnybida 2G;
Josh Belcher 1G,3A; Dallas
Loewen 1G; Austin Hall 1G;

Kowal and Nolan Bailey
1A each. Joel Lane almost
fawless in net.
Next action found T e
Bombers in Neepawa on
Saturday, December 28th
looking for redemption
after two one goal losses
to Te Natives earlier in
the year. Another close
contest between the two
as they headed into the f-
nal 20 minutes tied up at
four apiece. Minnedosa
came on strong outscor-
ing Neepawa 3-1 in the
third and took home a well
deserved 7-5 victory. Hat
trick for Joel Hnybida plus
2A; Josh Belcher 2G,1A;
Braeden Good 1G,1A; Dal-
las Loewen 1G; Nolan Bai-
ley 1A; Joe Lane strong be-
tween the pipes.
Minnedosa enjoyed a
home game Sunday, De-
cember 29th which was an
exhibition vs Wawanesa.
Missing a few players Te
Bombers held on for a close
frst period opening up the
scoring and heading into
the second period down
2-1. Wawanesa found their
legs in the second scor-
ing four unanswered goals
making it a tough climb for
the home team. Te Bomb-
ers held them to only one in
the third and skated away
after a tough battle and a
7-2 loss. Matthew Kowal
1G; Josh Belcher 1G;1A;
Braeden Good 2A; Jayden
Morrice with a good ef-
fort in net. Te Bombers
frst action of 2014 came at
home on Saturday, January
4th when they faced of with
Virden. Minnedosa con-
trolled the scoreboard this
game netting two goals in

Another home game
Sunday, January 5th saw
players, coaches and fans
braving the bitter cold to
watch a holiday re-match
between Te Bombers
and Te Neepawa Natives.
Despite a quick goal by
Minnedosa only eight sec-
onds into the game this was
another close contest as the
two teams headed into the
fnal frame tied up at three
goals each. A major pen-
alty just before the halfway
mark of the third would turn
out to be a costly one for the
visiting team as Minnedosa
took advantage and scored
three goals during the fve
minute power play. Te 6-3
score would hold up for the
remainder of the game giv-
ing Minnedosa their fourth
regular season win over
the Christmas break. A hot
scoring line of Joel Hny-
bida 4G,2A; Josh Belcher
2G,3A; Braeden Good 5A;

great defensive and ofen-
sive play from the rest of the
squad plus Jayden Morrice
in the net with some timely
saves to keep the team go-
ing.

sa goal by Braeden Good,
assisted by Josh Belcher
and Joel Hnybida. Jayden
Morrice between the pipes.

ers as the disappoint-
ment of the previous two

solation f nal later in the
afternoon. Josh Belcher
2G,2A; Braeden Good
2G,2A; Nathan Dornn 1G;
Curtis Gamey 1G; Joel Hny-
bida 2A; Austin Hall 1A; Joe
Lane strong in net.

loss. Jayden Morrice fac-
ing lots of shots on goal. No

Minor Hockey Report
By BRUCE McNABB
H
appy New year to all our fans. It has been awhile since
we updated you and I am glad to say the Bombers still
sit in frst place in the standings with wins over second place
Miniota-Elkhorn, McGreary and two wins over Kenton.
In our pre-Christmas game at the Minnedosa Arena
the bombers defeated Miniota-Elkhorn 4-3 in an excellent
fast passed game. Te Bombers lead 2-1 after one and 3-1
after two periods and held on for the 4-3 victory. Four dif-
ferent players scored for Minnedosa with Mark Willis and
Wyatt Rapsky scoring in the frst and Jonathon Kowal in
the second and Wes Lewis in the third period. Cody Pollon
stopped 25 of 28 shots fred his way.
Te Bombers started the New Year of on the right foot
with a 7-1 win over the McGreary Mustangs. Te Bombers
opened the scoring in the frst on a goal by Michael Birch.
McGreary tied it up with just four seconds remaining in the
frst period. Tis would however be their only goal as the
Bombers would answer with six straight goals, one in the
second and fve in the third period. Michael Birch added
another goal along with Shane Jury (2), and Mark Willis,
Wes Lewis and Cole Halliday adding singles. Cody Pollon
made 20 saves in net for the Bombers.
Te Bombers then took to the road with two away games
against the Kenton Cougars winning on Sunday, January
5th (7-5) and Wednesday, Januray 8th (9-1). Although the
temperature was sub -30 decrees the teams stuck it out for
three periods with the score tied at three after the frst and
tied at fve after two periods, before the Bombers scored
two un-answered in the third. Matt Saler lead the Bombers
with two goals and two assists followed by Tyler Jury with
two goals and singles from Shane Jury, Russell Huyghe, and
Brad Lewis.
On Wednesday, January 8th the Bombers travelled to
Oak River to again play the Kenton Cougars with the tem-
perature having risen to only -26 below, but the Bomber
scoring heated up with nine goals. Tey started with four
in the frst, three in the second and two goals in the third.
Leading the way was Shane Jury with three goals and an as-
sist, followed by Wes Lewis with two goals and one assist.
Other scorers were Brad Lewis, Russell Huyghe, Cole Hal-
liday and Wynn VanMeijl. Tyrell Heap was in net for both
the Kenton games.
Te Bombers next four games will go a long way in
determining the fnal league standings with the Bombers
facing the fourth place Russell Rams this Saturday Janu-
ary 18th at home, followed by third place Grandview in a
re-scheduled game from December 28th in Minnedosa,
Tursday, January 23rd. Tese games are followed up by two
against the second place Miniota/Elkorn. First in Minnedo-
sa January 25th and then in Miniota Tuesday, January 28th.

Kate Rice: Taking Her Rightful Place
By JENNIFER PAIGE
K
ate Rice was a wom-
an before her time,
a woman among men, a
prospector, a trapper, an ex-
pert canoeist. She accom-
plished more in her lifetime
that most women would
ever think of attempting
and things that some men
wouldnt be capable of car-
rying out. She was a hero-
ine of remarkable courage
and was said to be respon-
sible for the birth of mining
in Manitoba.
Rice holds special im-
portance to Minnedosa as
this is where she came to
spend her fnal years. She
relocated to Minnedosa lat-
er in her life, spending time
at the personal care home
before being laid to rest in
the local cemetery.
Rice had a life full of
adventure making numer-
ous contributions to our
provincial and national
mining industry along the
way and on January 16th
Rice was given her a right-
ful place in Canadas Min-
ing Hall of Fame.
Early Life:
Kathleen Creighton
Starr Rice was born on De-
cember 22nd, 1882 to Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Lincoln
Rice in St. Marys, Ontar-
io. Kates parents lived in
an upper class home and
owned St. Marys Milling
Company.
Once grown, Rice at-
tended the University of
Toronto. In 1906 she gradu-
ated from the facilities of
math and physics, earning
a gold medal in mathemat-
ics. She went on to teach in
a number of diferent com-
munities throughout On-
tario, Saskatchewan, and
Alberta from 1908 to 1911.
Rice was described as
a natural blonde, tall and
stately, a colourful charac-
ter that wasnt afraid of any
challenge.
Exploring the North:
In 1911, Rice began her
northern adventures travel-
ling to a Manitoba home-
stead four miles North of
the Pas.
At 29 years of age, Rice
spent the next two years of
her life building her home-
stead, studying geology and
the landscape around her.
She taught herself the Cree
language in order to better
communicate with the lo-
cal aboriginal people.
During her initial years
in the North, Rice devel-
oped a deep appreciation
of the First Nations people,
their culture and knowl-
edge. She accredited them
with teaching her bush
knowledge, the sounds,
sights, trails, how to trap,
hunt and mush dogs.
In 1914 with the aid of
her Cree friends, Rice em-
barked on her frst pros-
pecting trip. She travelled
500 kms by dogsled and
canoe navigating North
of the Pas to Brochet and
Reindeer Lake. It was on
this initial journey where
Rice made her frst mining
discovery, uncovering zinc
and vanadium.
In 1915 Rice continued
plying her newfound trade
staking claims for gold and
base metals in Beaver Lake.
At this time Rice construct-
ed her own prospecting
cabin along Sturgeon Weir
River.
Like many prospectors
who navigated the north-
ern region, Rice decided to
take on a partner and be-
came involved with Rich-
ard (Dick) Woosey, a retired
British Army of cer.
Rice continued to mas-
ter her trade and in 1917
made gold star claims and
staked nickel and copper
claims on Assessment Is-
land, which was later re-
named Rice Island in Kates
honour in 1920.
Woosey and Rice con-
tinued their partnership for
a number of years and built
a cabin together on Wekus-
ko Lake, near Snow Lake in
1925.
Although quite suc-
cessful in her feld, Rice
faced compromising obsta-
cles at every turn. In present
day mining womens roles
are few and far between,
but in Rices lifetime they
were unheard of. She went
places women were never
seen, had goals no woman
had dreamt of and took on
challenges that were rarely
even attempted by men.
In her journey to complete
these feats Rice had to con-
stantly combat a lack of le-
gal rights and faced a series
of scenes laced with sexual
violence.
Despite her many ob-
stacles, in 1928 Rice formed
her own mining company,
Rice Island Nickel Compa-
ny. Her key-mineral discov-
eries were nickel deposits
on Rice Island. At that time
these discoveries were said
to be worth $5 million and
to this day they remain an
important holding for a few
modern-day mining com-
panies.
Over the course of her
25 years in northern Cana-
da, Rice had an abundance
of adventures from earn-
ing her membership with
the Canadian Alpine Club
by climbing the Canadian
Rockies to taking on the
Stergeon-Weir rapids, an
extremely dangerous wa-
terway where many men
had died.
Her contributions to
the Canadian mining in-
dustry are plentiful. Not
only through her various
deposit discoveries, but
she was also credited with
introducing the use of bo-
rax crystals for determin-
ing metal types, pioneering
the way for other women
explorers, authoring a
number of scientifc jour-
nals and putting towns like
Snow Lake on the mining
map.
Later in Life:
Rice and Woosey con-
tinued to live on Wekusko
Lake spending their time
writing, gardening, pros-
pecting, fshing and trap-
ping until Wooseys passing
in 1940. Woosey was laid to
rest at the Lakeside Cem-
etery in the Pas.
Wooseys death was
said to have greatly impact-
ed Rice, but she continued
to work in the mining pro-
fession for another decade,
until the early 1950s.
After retiring from the
mining industry, Rice con-
tinued to live on Wekusko
Lake until 1962. During
which time she wrote a
number of articles and
thesis, particularly dealing
with Aurora Borealis. To-
day, all of Rices preserved
writings are in the posses-
sion of the University of
Manitoba.
Upon leaving the
North, Rice travelled to
Brandon and committed
herself to the Mental Health
Hospital as she thought she
had gone mad. After two
months of observations,
psychiatrists concluded
that Rice was unconven-
tional, not crazy.
It was at this time that
Rice relocated herself to the
Lady Minto Nursing Home
in Minnedosa.
During her time in
Minnedosa, Rice was
thought of as a loner and
a recluse. Very few in the
community knew her well.
She spent as much time as
she could outside, walking
downtown every day and
sleeping on the nursing
homes porch at night.
Rice died on January
3rd, 1963 at 81 years of age.
At that time a small grave-
side service was held. She
was buried in an unmarked
grave in plot #3, block #58
in the Minnedosa Cem-
etery. No obituary or death
notice was ever published.
Proper Memoriam:
At the time of their
deaths, Kate Rice and Dick
Woosey were both buried
with very little recognition
for what they had accom-
plished in their lifetimes.
Wooseys grave sat
for 70 years at the Lake-
side Cemetery in the Pas
marked only by a small
wooden stake. Rices grave
lay unmarked and unac-
knowledged in Minnedosa
for 45 years.
Tese two individuals
whose lives were so rich in
provincial historical value
were given very little re-
ception at the time of their
death, something that
bothered Marc Jackson, a
Snow Lake resident and
history student.
In 2009, Jackson decid-
ed to take it upon himself to
raise funds in order to place
proper headstones on Rice
and Wooseys gravesites.
On July 31st and Au-
gust 1st of 2009 ceremo-
nies were held in the re-
spective cemeteries and
proper headstones were
placed.
Canadas Mining
Hall of Fame:
On January 16th, 2014
Kate Rice was further hon-
oured for her accomplish-
ments by being inducted
into the Canadian Mining
Hall of Fame in Toronto,
Ontario.
Exploration as a ven-
ture, then as now, is not
for the faint of heart. At
a time when men barely
tolerated women in the
industry, Kate Rice shat-
tered the preconceptions
about what a woman could
achieve in the mineral
industry, said MaryAnn
Mihychuk, president of
Manitoba Women in Min-
ing. Although there are
those who would down-
play the relevance of her
gender with respect to her
accomplishments, it can
be clearly appreciated that
she accomplished what no
woman had done before in
Canada. We can fnally re-
store Kate Rice to her iconic
status in our Nations proud
mineral history.
Manitoba Women in
Mining was the driving
force behind seeing Rice in
the Hall of Fame.
WIM initiated the
nomination process in
2012 and gathered 15 nom-
ination letters from various
groups and organizations
that Rice impacted.
Te nomination
process underscored our
strong commitment at WIM
to help profle and recog-
nize the achievements of
women in non-traditional
careers, said Mihychuk.
Kates induction is a
much-deserved and long-
overdue recognition for her
extensive exploration work,
discoveries, and achieve-
ments as Canadas frst
woman prospector.
Canadas Mining Hall
of Fame was created in 1989
and holds 150 inductees. In
order to be considered for
nomination, persons must
have demonstrated out-
standing lifetime achieve-
ments in the mining indus-
try to the beneft of Canada.
On January 16th, the
26th annual Canadian Min-
ing Hall of Fame dinner and
induction ceremony was
held in Toronto, Ontario.
Rice is only the second
woman to ever receive this
honour, behind Viola Mac-
Millian.
Tere are very few
women in the mineral re-
sources industry. Rice is
only the second woman to
be inducted into the mu-
seum. We are thrilled to
see the industry recognize
contributions of women
like Rice, who had to strug-
gle against so much more
than the elements. Here
was a woman who struck
out on her own, and made
her own destiny, even be-
fore women were legally
persons, added Mihy-
chuk.
