GRASSLAND NEWS NOVEMBER 2015 Next deadline will be FRIDAY, December 4, 2015 Drop ads off at the Municipal Office or email NEWSLETTER [email protected]Message from Reeve Blair Woods This has been a busy council time as we are continuing to finalize recycling for the municipality. We started working this summer with other towns and municipalities in the southwest area of Manitoba to find a better way of recycling. A steering committee was formed. Three different contractors were selected to make a presentation to everyone. After listening to these presentations, one contractor was recommended. Each town and municipality could either choose this contractor or select one of the preferred. Grassland Municipality chose to accept the recommended contractor. This is Loraas Recycling based out of Saskatchewan. They have been servicing small towns in the southeast area of their province with great reviews. They can be found on the internet under www.loraas.ca for their details. We have signed a contact with them but it is still in the development stage and they are to inform residents of the details of their collection. There will be household collection in the town of Hartney and villages of Elgin and Minto. There will be 92 litre blue containers for each household. For Lauder, current landfill sites and other locations to be determined, there will be a 6 yard collection container. There will be no need to sort any of your recycling products, e.g. plastic, cardboard and glass. All items are to go into the collection containers. Every two weeks there will be pickup of these containers to be scheduled by Loraas. This is a five year contract we have signed at a fixed cost to the municipality. We will be able to offset the cost of this program because all material will be weighed and we will receive money back from Multi-Material Stewardship Manitoba. This organization receives money from the levy charged on recyclable items in Manitoba. The more we are able to recycle, the less it will cost. Also, since there is no sorting done by residents, hopefully everyone will make a valiant effort to recycle. This will keep unnecessary product out of the landfill and the environment. Along with this, we are committed to building a shed at the Hartney landfill to collect household garbage in. As needed, a mobile crusher will come in and process/crush materials collected. It is cleaner around the whole area and the pits last longer. For approximately every eight bags going into the shed, by crushing there is one bag going to the landfill site. This has been proven at the Fairfax landfill site as we have been managing the waste this way for the last four years. This is hoped to be operational at the Hartney site during 2016. There will be more detailed information received by residents in the near future. This is such a new effort by the council that all the details are being finalized. It is our responsibility to the future to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! Let’s all do our part. Blair Woods, Reeve Grassland Municipality

Congratulations!!
Congratulations to Darren and Trevor Hunt and mum Connie Hunt as winners of an iPad donated by the Association of Manitoba Museums! Darren, Trevor, and Connie visited 9 museums throughout Manitoba during the summer of 2015 and had their Museum passports stamped to authenticate their trips. The Hunts were surprised and pleased to be the winners of this great prize! Ask our 2016 student Museum curator about the passports and you too could work to match the trips taken by the Hunt local historians.
A big thank you to all who
attended our Grand Clairiere Fall
Supper! It was a great success.
Thanks to all who worked,
donated food, or made monetary
donations.

THANK YOU
Hartney-Lauder United Church Pastoral Charge
The committee for the Hartney – Lauder United Church Pastoral Charge would like to thank everyone who
helped and contributed in any way for the annual fall supper. It really does take everyone working together to
make this supper run smoothly. We had a very successful supper again this year, serving around 450
meals. We appreciate everyone making their own arrangements for replacement workers if they were unable
to work their shift or bring or cook food. If you have any suggestions or comments/concerns, or would like to
do something different for next year, please feel free to contact any of the committee members. If anyone
would like to be on the fall supper committee, please give one of us a call.
Royal Canadian Legion Branch # 26 Report-November 2015
President Turner would like to thank all members of the community who participated in the Remembrance Day
service. A special thanks to Hartney school students Amie Hunt, Cole Thomas, and Kristen Thomas for their reading
of the scriptures and the Honour Roll. President Turner would also like to acknowledge the role of Rev. Mel
Moorman in our program: leading the prayers, and giving the address for the past few years. Your contribution is
appreciated.
Our thank you would not be complete if we did not mention the work of pianist Karen Barrows, the community choir,
and the Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary for their lunch preparation.
Some interesting facts:
from the “Portraits and Sketches of Hartney District Veterans” Great War 1914-1918 book by Rev. Cecil A. Blay:
total enlistments 226, total deaths (all cases) 36.
from the “Hartney and District Veterans 1939-1945” edited by D. Isabey, 1981, showed total enlistments over 245,
total deaths (all cases) 18.
Participation in both wars shows a very strong commitment to freedom from our small community.

Well this is the first part of November and no snow yet! I hope everyone is keeping
well and had a great Thanksgiving with their families and friends.
We have been busy down at the Cameron Lodge with our October Activities; Some
residents went to the Lauder Cancer tea. We played checkers and played bingo at
HCHC. The Pre-K kids came for a visit and made pumpkin decorations with the
residents and read a story that was enjoyed by all, thanks Erin. We had a potluck
luncheon which was well attended and Karen Barrows came and played the piano. We also had card making
with Edna. Once a month we have a Movie afternoon and popcorn, this month it was a John Wayne western. I
had the Alzheimer’s Tea at the lodge and thanks to everyone that donated.
We decorated the lodge for fall and Halloween. Talk about Halloween decorations, we went to Susan and
Roland Peloquins to see their scary haunted house and graveyard and had tea, coffee and dessert with Susan.
Thanks Susan, it was well enjoyed. We also had a Tea party at HCHC with Carol and residents, it was great.
We have a few ongoing activities that include: Monday morning Hymn Sing at HCHC at 10.00am. Every

Bunclody News and Views Mysterious Disappearance of Water Leads to Furtive Search.
(Bunclody, Manitoba) The mysterious disappearance of a large body of water at Elgin, Manitoba has provided an opportunity for a team of highly skilled search analysts to conduct an intensive mud analysis of the lake bottom in search of any evidence of the existence of the legendary Bunclody Marching Band. There have been reports in the past of the Band roaming/roving around the region of Elgin, Hartney, Souris and Carroll but, as is the case with the Loch Ness Monster and the Abominable Snowman, no sightings of the Band have ever been confirmed.
The search analysts (see photo) stated that a variety of unusual sounds were heard emanating from the area around the lake and are undertaking the mud analysis in an effort to find footprints, sheet music or even abandoned instruments that would help prove the existence of the Bunclody Marching Band. Local residents have been advised to carry their cameras at the ready should there be an actual sighting of the Band.
The search analysts are using the latest technical device available (see photo) to explore the lake bed and surrounding area. The search analysis is funded under the local district community services and mysterious appearance/disappearance fund which, in the past, has provided funds for projects such as digging, filling in and covering holes in the ground - and the construction of straw-bale-rolling competition inclines.

Spot the warning signs of fraud before it’s too late
No one ever wakes up in the morning and thinks to themselves, “Today I’m going to become a victim of fraud.” We
assume we know the warning signs. We assume we understand the risks. We assume we’ll recognize a scam when we
see it.
And yet every day, many of us do fall prey to fraudsters. Educated, informed people — friends, family, neighbours — get
taken all the time. How? By being caught off-guard and not recognizing the signs.
With that in mind, here are some simple ways you can protect yourself from fraud of all sorts:
· Slow down
A common theme in many fraud attempts is the artificial urgency fraudsters employ to prevent you from thinking things
through. Don’t listen to them. When presented with an enticing offer, stop and think about it. Give it time to percolate.
Does it still seem wise?
· Apply the ‘Too good to be true’ test
Listen to your gut. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
· Question everything
Who is this person who contacted you? Do you know them? Is their request unsolicited? Would you trust them to watch
your wallet? Why did they approach you? What are the risks?
· Get a second opinion
If you’re being asked to do something — wiring someone money, for example — and you feel uneasy about it, bounce
the idea off of someone else. Contact a trusted friend, a colleague or someone at the credit union and run the proposal
past them. Do they think it’s a good idea, too?
· There’s no such thing as a free lunch
Many scams play on the appeal of quick, easy money. It’s easy to get blinded by the dollar signs. Don’t let that distract
you from making a reasonable, informed, cautious decision.

I want to thank the people of Brandon-Souris for once again trusting me to represent our region in the House of Commons. I pledge
to continue my work with Westman’s provincial, municipal, business, and community leaders over the next four years to make sure
that your voice is heard in Ottawa and our region continues to benefit from federal investment.Secondly, I want to thank Jodi
Wyman, Melissa Wastasecoot and David Neufeld for putting their names on the ballot. I commend them for their commitment to our
country and their passion to pass down a stronger Canada than the one we inherited. I firmly believe that Canadian democracy is
strengthened when various ideas are put forward and debated.While the national election result was not what I was hoping for, my
zeal for public service is stronger than ever. I can say that I am extremely proud of what has been accomplished here in Westman
over the 22 months since I was first elected as MP.The outgoing Conservative government’s commitment
to strengthening local communities is demonstrated by many construction projects going on in municipalities across Brandon-
Souris. Our work to tear down old trade barriers has and will continue to open new markets for Westman goods and services. I’m
particularly thrilled with the investments that we made at Assiniboine Community College and Brandon University. And most of all,
I am proud of our record of leaving more money in the pockets of hardworking Westman residents rather than in the hands of
government.Going forward, I believe that we cannot let partisan politics stand in the way of encouraging more economic growth
here in Westman. On November 4th, Manitobans will find out which Liberal MP or MPs from Winnipeg will be tasked with repre-
senting our province in Justin Trudeau’s cabinet. As soon as we do find out, I will be writing to invite the new minister or ministers
to visit Brandon-Souris at their earliest opportunity to meet with community leaders and start a discussion about how we can all
work together across party lines to advance the best interests of our region. In the House of Commons, you can be confident that I
will remain committed to supporting policies that encourage job creation and decrease the federal tax burden on seniors
and working families. I will also continue to work with local Veterans to improve the services and programs they and their families
rely on.Finally, I want to remind everyone that my office continues to offer assistance to all Brandon-Souris constituents regarding
questions or concerns with federal programs. As always, we will engage residents on legislation and seek the views of everyday
Canadians in our capacity as the Official Opposition. I will fight for Westman at every turn, because that is why you elected me. I
will not let you down.
Larry Maguire, MP-elect
Brandon-Souris
Brandon, MB - Larry Maguire, Conservative candidate for Brandon-Souris was re-elected Monday, October 19th after receiving
more than 50% of the vote. Maguire has pledged to continue to advance Westman's interests in Parliament.

HARTNEY SCHOOL STUDENT REPORT
This month’s report is from Michyla Turnbull
Hello, I hope everyone is ready for Winter! Christmas lights up and Winter tires on. I hope no one has their Christmas Tree up yet! As I write this, the snow is falling lightly, Winter is coming for sure!
This October our Student Council and Grad class of 2016 have been quite busy. We had a pyjama day early on where students and staff paid one dollar that would go towards student council. In return, we got to wear our pyjamas. In total, we raised $56.00. Thank you to everyone who
supported our student council. On Hallowe’en, our school was busy with a Sock Hop put on by Ms. Salamondra and the We
Day committee. Our student council went around the school and gave away prizes for costumes. Best dressed classes went to Kindergarten’s and the Grade 12’s. The Student Council also gave prizes to kids with best dressed homemade costumes, bought costumes and best dressed bus
driver, which was given to Larry McBurney. For the month of October, Hartney School was busy bringing in plastic bags so they could be
recycled properly. The student council and the grade 10’s spent their lunch hour and some class time counting. Our school brought in a total of 3306 bags!! Thank you to everyone for participating!
The Grad class helped at the annual Hartney Ladies night, on behalf of the Hartney Grad Class we would like to thank the committee for supporting us.
Our November and early December schedule is looking quite busy. On We Day, we have many
students representing Hartney School. As well, report cards are coming up very quickly. Michyla Turnbull
Greetings from the Municipality of Grassland! As the Chief Financial Officer there are a few things I’d like to pass on to all of our residents.
First of all, we are getting cheques and payments made out in all sorts of different ways. Cheques should be made out to Municipality of Grassland. After the rural municipalities of Cameron and Whitewater amalgamated with the urban municipality of Hartney we dropped the “rural” part and are now just Municipality of Grassland. Please also note that there is no “s” at the end of Grassland.
You can pay your bills at either the Minto or Hartney office, but please note the debit machine is only available in the Hartney office.
Also, for those of you that pay your bills online through the Credit Union, the Municipality of Grassland is now set up to receive payments. Please start using this option instead of Town of Hartney, RM of Cameron or RM of Whitewater. We will be deleting those options in the New Year.
Council will soon be starting the budgeting process for 2016. If your committee or organization will be looking for a grant for 2016 we ask that you submit your request before the end of the year so that council can budget accordingly. Thank you in advance for your cooperation! Lisa Scott, CMMA Chief Financial Officer Municipality of Grassland
The first snowfall brings such excitement to the air! The children took full advantage of the snow and built our first snowman of the season; we had a blast rolling out the body parts,
then went on an adventure to find arms, eyes and a nose. With the beautiful weather he did not last long, but I am sure there will be many more to come! And as the season changes to winter it opens up endless opportunities to explore and create!
I want to give a huge shout out to the ladies at Hartney Enrichment Programs! I am so glad to have them on my team, they have all been so flexible and adaptive with all the changes that have happened in the last 4 months. These girls are all wonderful, giving and creative, such a wonderful asset to this community! Hartney Enrichment Programs has seats on the Board of Directors that NEED to be filled; the center can only run with a board in place, and some of the current members terms will be coming to a close and we will need some people to step up and take their place! We meet once monthly, other additional time may be required to assist in fundraising or special events requiring board attendance. Please contact me if you are interested, our AGM will be held in April 2016
and a new board will be chosen at this time.
