Brokenhead Foundation hands out grants

By Edna Barrie
The Brokenhead River Community Foundation (BRCF) distributed its 2025 fall grants to various community organizations on Nov. 10 at the Beau Head Senior Centre.  
The BRCF was established as a community foundation in 1998 to serve the residents of Beausejour and Brokenhead. All funds raised through donations to the BRCF are placed in various endowment funds, as per the donor’s request, and invested for perpetuity. All gifts – donations – are never spent, with a portion of the interest earned being gifted back to the community through grants to local community groups and organizations, or by way of scholarships and bursaries to graduating students at École Edward Schreyer School. 
To date, over $500,000 has gone back into the community, a number that will continue to grow.
Foundation chair Reg Black said earlier this year, less than 30 months after reaching its first $1 million, the BRCF has now surpassed $2 million in gifted funds – a significant accomplishment for the community. 
“To put the $2 million into context, it means a minimum of $80,000 will be going back into our community every single year,” Black said.
This year, several organizations were granted funds on behalf of the BRCF, the Thomas Sill Funds, the Michael Hamende Memorial Fund, the unrestricted community funds and several other individual funds.
The larger of the 2025 grants included $13,000 to the Brokenhead River Regional Library, École Edward Schreyer School in the amount of $11,000, $10,000 to the Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre, and the Green Cemetery Project Winnipeg and Memorial Woodland of Manitoba collected $8,000.
The Brokenhead River Game and Fish Association received $2,000, the Brokenhead River Recreation Commission netted $3,750 Brokenhead River Regional Library, $4,725; Interlake Eastman Health Foundation, $1216.87; Pioneer Village Museum/Broken-Beau Historical Society, $2,400; Royal Canadian Legion, $4,466.45; and Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre, $4,345.  
Other recipients include the Beauhead Arts Fest collecting $2,250, the Beausejour Brokenhead Minor Hockey Association will receive $2,010, the Beausejour Curling Club swept up $2,125, the Beausejour Slo-Pitch League received $4,500 and the Tyndall Curling Club, $4,381.
Beausejour Food Bank and the Beausejour Handivan will each get $1,920 and Beausejour Hospital/East Gate Lodge collected $8,263. The Big Beausejour Book Sale gets $1,500, Friends of Beausejour Daylily Gardens received $1,125 and the Survivor’s Hope Crisis Centre gets $2,000.

Vezina wins MB Country Music award

Singer-songwriter’s tune about Pine Falls named Song of the Year
By Andrea Geary
Singer-songwriter Brandi Vezina is honoured to have Paper Town, a deeply personal song she co-wrote with Scott Nolan, win the Manitoba Country Music Association’s Fay Walker Song of the Year award.
The MCMA awards were presented at Club Regent Event Centre on Nov. 8. This was the first time that Vezina was nominated in this award category.
“I was so excited,” she said. “My grandparents were there and that was the best part.”
Vezina hails from a seventh generation Métis family with strong musical roots. Paper Town captures the history of Pine Falls and its pulp and paper mill which closed in 2009. For the first six years of her life, Vezina and her mother lived with her uncle Norm in Stony Point near Pine Falls. Norm worked at the mill and was 46 when it closed. Vezina said the closure impacted him enormously.
Vezina met Winnipeg singer-songwriter Nolan at a music festival in Kenora. She said she told him about how greatly the Pine Falls mill closure affected her uncle, other workers and the entire community. Nolan said she had to write a song in remembrance of these people including her great-grandfather and great-uncles who had cut wood for the mill.
Vezina’s uncle Norm died in January 2022 and she and Nolan wrote Paper Town that October.
“We just talked about the story and went back and forth,” she said. “The song really wrote itself.”
Vezina said the song is a story of loss, resilience and remembering where she came from.
“I knew the song was special. I’ve really worked hard on my craft as a songwriter.”
Paper Town is one of six songs on Vezina’s EP Grit & Glamour released in October. The Manitoba Arts Council and Manitoba Film and Music recognized the cultural significance of this song through their support of Vezina’s Grit & Glamour tour that ended with a performance at Grey Cup Fest’s Coors Light Concert Series on Nov. 14.
She said she co-wrote the other songs on her EP between 2022 and 2024 with musicians she admires.
The video for Paper Town was shot in Pine Falls last May and features community members who formerly worked at the mill themselves and others holding photos of deceased loved ones who were mill workers. Vezina said her uncle’s friends Ray Bouvier and Grant Pachkowsky are shown holding Norm’s treasured Yankees jacket. Pine Falls resident Verla Fortier allowed parts of the video to be filmed inside her home.
Vezina is grateful for the support she’s received from the community and those whose lives were impacted by the mill’s closure. 
The recognition she and Nolan have received for Paper Town is giving her confidence and encouragement to keep developing her songwriting skills.
“I think authenticity is the way I need to move forward,” she said. “The idea is to be grateful for the songs and ideas that choose me.”
She added that 2026 will see her release more music and announce a tour schedule.

Protecting yourself against stolen credit cards

By Tony Zerucha
While the price of most things seems to be rising, the cost to acquire a stolen Canadian credit card on the Dark Web has dropped by 26 per cent in two years, according to new research from NordVPN. 
And that makes Canadians a more popular target.
In 2023, a Canadian credit card cost an average of $11.06. It has fallen to $8.20 in 2025. That’s the opposite of what many other countries are seeing. The cost to acquire a stolen New Zealand credit card has soared 444 per cent in two years. It’s up 368 per cent in Argentina and 221 per cent in Poland.
What factors go into stolen credit card prices? NordVPN said the law of supply and demand is the major factor. Criminals pay premiums for cards from countries with low supply and strong anti-fraud controls, like Japan. Conversely, Canada, the U.S. and Spain produce abundant data, making cards cheaper. Cards from these countries are usually sold in bulk, making them even cheaper.
“The strength of law enforcement and political stability also shape risk and price – where ‘risk’ refers to how advanced issuers are at detecting fraud and how quickly they respond,” said NordVPN cybersecurity expert Adrianus Warmenhoven. “Cards with longer expiration dates command a premium: about 87 per cent of the cards we observed remain usable for more than 12 months, which makes them easier to resell.”
Globally, the average stolen credit card costs $11.15. Japanese cards are the priciest at $22.80. The United States (60 per cent), Singapore (11 per cent), Spain (10 per cent), the United Kingdom, and Kuwait have the most stolen cards. Cards from Kazakhstan, Guam, and Mozambique cost around $16, whereas those from the Republic of the Congo, Barbados and Georgia go for a loonie. Antigua and Barbuda is the most expensive North American country at $14. Mexican payment cards cost around $9.26.
“On major marketplaces, a single stolen card often costs about the price of a movie ticket,” said Warmenhoven. “Cards are frequently sold in bulk, stay valid for long periods, and can be cashed out locally, so for a few dollars, criminals choose between a night at the cinema or a ready-made route to fraud, account takeovers, and outright cashing of someone else’s money.”
Warmenhoven said it’s important to note that the implications are beyond just the card number. Criminals also get names, addresses, emails, and other details that allow them to assume others’ identities. That’s crucial because criminals make their money through a process called “carding”, where they validate, monetize and launder the data.
Criminal outfits are highly organized with several specified roles. Harvesters find and steal data. Validators run bots that check thousands of cards every hour. Cash-outers convert validated cards into gift codes, goods, cryptocurrency or cash.
“The crucial step in carding is validation,” Warmenhoven explained. “Cybercriminals use bots to run tiny test charges or authorization attempts to see which cards work. Sometimes they use small payment providers or merchant sites they control to spread attempts and hide failures. 
“Once a card is validated, it can be used to withdraw cash from ATMs, buy gift cards or vouchers, or purchase travel and accommodation that can later be resold. Monetization and laundering are tightly coupled – multiple steps are used to obscure the origin of funds.”
 
Staying Safe
Warmenhoven said to regularly review your financial statements. Activate real-time transaction alerts so you can quickly catch strange charges and dispute them sooner. Protect your accounts with strong passwords, especially in e-shops that store your personal data.
Don’t save passwords and payment data in your browser. Malware can access local password storage and steal autofill information like passwords, addresses, and payment card details. Enable multi-factor authentication - it’s an extra level of security.
There are also tools offering extra protection. NordVPN’s Dark Web Monitor generates alerts if information associated with your email address is found on the Dark Web. With Dark Web Monitor Pro, users can add credit card numbers for continuous monitoring and instant alerts.

Springfield considers aggregate reserve fund

By Tony Zerucha
The RM of Springfield is considering creating a reserve fund to support future aggregate-related activities in the municipality.
On Oct. 14, Springfield’s council discussed creating an aggregate reserve fund. It would receive surplus funds from the sale of municipal aggregate, aggregate lands, provincial levies and aggregate leases. A council resolution is required to make a deposit into the fund.
If enacted, the fund and interest generated must be used for such activities as aggregate exploration, project development, resource extraction, material processing, storage, acquiring lands needed for municipal aggregate purposes, equipment acquisition, purchase of aggregates, aggregate transportation costs, and capital infrastructure upgrades related to aggregate operations.
Council members and some administrators recently attended a tour of municipal aggregate operations. On that tour, Public Works staff suggested creating a reserve fund to address future needs.
CAO Colleen Draper explained that when the municipality negotiates aggregate leases, they are based on a minimum extraction amount. Should additional material be extracted, a surplus would ensue. Currently, surplus materials are deemed general revenue.
“Having a reserve will allow us to have a savings account to do a proper analysis of what’s in the ground,” Mayor Pat Therrien said.
Therrien said several areas in Springfield’s east show strong extraction potential, but to know how good requires testing, and that costs money. That expenditure could come from a reserve fund. Any deposits or withdrawals from the fund would require a council resolution.
“If council feels a deposit isn’t warranted, they don’t have to pass a resolution,” Draper added.
Coun. Andy Kuczynski wondered if the reserve fund was needed and asked for more information on potential costs. The issue was tabled so council could discuss the issue with Public Works.

RM rolling out mixed recycling program

By Simon Ducatel
Recycling is about to become much more convenient for RM of Lac du Bonnet residents. 
The municipality announced earlier this month its intention to roll out a co-mingled recycling program at Transfer Station 520 effective Nov. 17. 
That means residents will no longer have to worry about painstakingly sorting through recyclable materials and can instead just toss them all into one bin in an effort to simplify the drop-off process. The RM hopes this will encourage more people to recycle and divert items that would wind up in the landfill.
“What we’re doing is exploring options that will increase our rebates while reducing our costs for recycling,” said reeve Loren Schinkel. “The more that people would recycle, the less our transportation costs would be. So this move to co-mingle is an attempt to get more people recycling plastic and aluminum cans.”
Schinkel said the RM spends over half a million dollars a year just on waste management, and part of that is the program for recycling, which remains far from ideal in Manitoba as there is no bottle depot to get any money back.
“We’ve been writing to Multi Material Stewardship Manitoba (MMSM) through our municipality as well as on behalf of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities to say you need to change your process and come up with viable markets and make it a true recycling program where the consumers are rebated,” he said.
Schinkel said MMSM controls all of the recycling within the province, adding the government needs to get into the 21st Century and implement a program similar to those in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario where consumers can more easily receive refunds on their deposits. 
“Politically here, they will not go down that route because Multi Material Stewardship Manitoba is a non-profit, but they’re protecting their own regime.” 
The organization’s own data from 2023 and 2024 refutes its claims that recycling is doing well in Manitoba, adding stats outlined in their reports indicate drops in rebates, and in some instances, a reduction of recyclables. 
“Our view has always been that the province needs to come up with a true, viable rebate program for our consumers, and that would increase recycling... it would assist with reduction of waste, because they have the waste reduction legislation here, which quite frankly, the province themselves isn’t adhering to.”
Under the RM’s new co-mingled recycling program, items can be placed loose or contained in a clear plastic bag and cardboard boxes must be flattened.
Acceptable items include newspapers, flyers, envelopes, office paper, egg cartons, cereal and tissue paper boxes, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, tubs, jugs, certain clamshell containers, steel containers for food and beverage, aluminum containers for food and beverage, milk cartons, juice boxes, soup cartons, as well as clear or coloured glass bottles and jars. Residents are asked to continue rinsing and removing lids. 
Among the materials that will not be accepted are black plastics, dishes and ceramics, highly-flexible plastics (bags, pouches, wrap), paper cups, paper towels, tissues, napkins, foam packaging of any kind, aluminum foil, pie plates, trays and food waste. 
Meanwhile, the transfer station’s wintertime hours of operation are now in effect and simply reflect reduced usage during the colder months. Hours are Friday through Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and closed on Wednesday and Thursdays as well as statutory holidays.

JEFF! comics in The Clipper

The Clipper will be providing some humour to its news pages with the help of a 14-year-old artists from Anola.
Jacob Pauls’ comic strip ‘JEFF!’ will begin appearing in this publication over the next few weeks. A fan of music, sports, rapping and making comics, Pauls says the latter interest is something he has done since he was six or seven years old
“I’ve had the passion for making comics and over the years they’ve led up to this,” Pauls said. “I really hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did making it.”
The main character in this family friendly hand-drawn comic strip is Jeff Morris, a young dinosaur who lives in a modern world, but he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to a lot of things. Whenever he has a problem he gets over it... eventually.
Jeff is joined by three friends – Ned Ferg, a scientist who also caddies for Jeff when he’s golfing, but that’s not a paid job; Otto Hart, an aspiring musician who works at the hardware store and likes eating at TubWay restaurants; Haely Rose, who works at the bakery, puts flowers in her hair and hangs out with Jeff; and Ruby Reeves, who works at the jewelry store and likes baking. 
Jeff also has parents, an enemy and others characters, but those will come later.
Pauls said one of the most frequently asked questions he gets when making these comics is where does he come up with these ideas?
“This one I got from when I was doodling during a lecture about dinosaurs, even though I probably should’ve been paying attention,” Pauls joked. “Long story short, I came up with JEFF! and with a little help from my friend James, we thought up some funny storyline ideas.”

Health workers recognized with IERHA awards

Beausejour Hospital clinical mentor Erin Hertz was one of six Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (IERHA) health workers to be recognized by the governing health body at their annual general meeting Oct. 6.
The AGM saw 124 staff and community members log in virtually to hear the region’s planned activities and a summary of the past year. Cyndi Typliski, vice-chair of the board of directors, was the master of ceremonies. Speakers included board chair Michele Polinuk; Dr. Tim Hilderman, medical officer of health for IERHA; Lorianne Kowaliszyn, IERHA’s executive lead of corporate services and CEO Marion Ellis.
Polinuk presented six IERHA Board Chair Awards, which recognize those who repeatedly go above and beyond to reflect the health region’s vision, mission and values through exceptional patient care, leadership or teamwork.
Hertz has been a dedicated nursing leader at Beausejour Hospital for many years. Nominator Tanya Cheetham said Hertz consistently contributes to nursing practice and policy committees and constantly strives to enhance health care quality. 
Hertz spearheaded IERHA’s first internationally educated nursing onboarding pilot project and has mentored three internationally education nurses to transition to permanent roles at Pine Falls Hospital. She has now taken on the role of clinical mentor in Beausejour, where her experience and approach will help to recruit and retain nurses in the region. 
Also receiving IERHA Board Chair Awards were Selkirk Regional Health Centre staffers Jaycee Seenie, an Indigenous Health skaabe, admitting clerk Ursula Hammerstedt and Michele Staszkiewicz, an ambassador for cancer navigation services. IERHA Selkirk corporate office receptionist Susan Gunderson and Gimli physiotherapist Brett Mason were also recognized for their contributions.
Formed in 2012, the IERHA was created from the merger of the previous Interlake and North Eastman regional health authorities. The IERHA plans and delivers a wide range of health care services, including hospitals, long-term care, mental health and addictions, palliative care and public health programs. Its jurisdiction covers about 61,000 square kilometres and services over 137,000 people.

The Eagles sealed the win with three goals in the final period.
Despite the loss, the Sabres outshot SJR 27-20 and kept pressure on throughout the game.
The next day, Springfield bounced back with a solid 3-2 win over the Beliveau Barracudas on home ice. Fiona Shewtchenko scored twice, while Sholdra added another power-play goal. The Sabres battled through a tight second period but shut the door in the third to secure the victory.
Springfield’s next game is set for Nov. 25 at 4 p.m. at the Oakbank Community Recreation Arena against the PCI Saints.
Barons Quiet
The École Edward Schreyer Barons girls’ hockey team did not have any games this week.
They were back in action on Nov. 17 at Stride Place to take on the PCI Saints but results were not available at deadline.
The Barons travel to East End CC Nov. 26 to play Murdock MacKay at 3:30 p.m.
WHSHL
Panthers In Tough
The Pinawa Panthers endured a tough week on the ice.
On Nov. 12, the Panthers battled hard in a tight defensive game against John Taylor, holding them scoreless through three periods. The game went to overtime, where John Taylor scored at 2:32 to hand Pinawa a 1-0 loss.
Travelling to Lorette Nov. 14, the Panthers were topped 11-0 in a challenging outing.
Pinawa continued to push through the full 60 minutes, but Lorette took advantage of their chances each period.
The Panthers hosted Windsor Park at the Lac du Bonnet Sports Arena Nov. 17 but results were not available at deadline.
They are back on the road, heading to the RINK Training Centre on Nov. 21 to take on Linden Christian at 4:45 p.m.
Barons Drop Pair
The École Edward Schreyer Barons boys faced a challenging stretch last week, dropping both of their games despite strong efforts and key individual performances.
On Nov. 12, the Barons opened the scoring early against Warren, with Brodie McDonald striking just 16 seconds into the game on the power play, assisted by Parker Jaculak and Nathan Gorski. However, Warren responded with a dominant special teams performance, scoring five unanswered goals, four of them on the power play, handing the Barons a 5-1 loss.
Two days later, the Barons battled in a much tighter match-up against Linden Christian, ultimately falling 4-3. Brayden Hummerston, Jaculak and Carson Specaluk all contributed offensively, with Jaculak leading the way with a goal and an assist. Despite keeping the game close, Linden Christian capitalized on key chances in the third to pull ahead and win. 
Looking ahead, the Barons host John Taylor at the Beausejour Sportsplex on Nov 20 at 3:35 p.m.
Sabres Silent
The Springfield Sabres boys had no games last week. They return to action Nov. 20 with a 4 p.m. road game at Dakota Community Centre to take on Dakota Collegiate.

Comets topple main rival Warriors

By Tony Zerucha and Mark T. Buss
Evan Groening’s two goals led the Beausejour Comets to a 4-2 home-ice win over the arch-rival St. Malo Warriors on Nov. 14. 
The victory moves the Comets to within three points of the second-place Warriors and six behind the first-place Selkirk Fishermen.
Merrick Hucul opened the scoring at 7:48 of the first period. His first of the season was assisted by Seth Hlady and Clint Thomas. Warriors’ sniper Keston Worley tied the score exactly nine minutes later. Late in the period, Groening scored a power-play marker with help from Hucul and Hlady to make it a 2-1 game heading into the first break.
Midway through the second period, the Warriors tied it again, but Groening stifled any momentum with his second of the night seconds later at 10:48. Carter Ramsden and Lavery Melsted assisted on the eventual game-winner.
A pair of Beausejour Baron alums paired up for an insurance goal at 8:32 of the third, as Crosby Liske connected off Rhys Bullman’s pass. The Comets outshot the Warriors 31-28 to make a winner of Alex Cavanagh.
The win was a positive step for the Comes considering the history of the two clubs. Beausejour lost to the Warriors in the CRJHL finals the last two years and were  likewise dropped 6-1 in their most recent clash on Nov. 2.
Beausejour GM Curt Ramsden said the Comets vs. Warriors has become “quite the rivalry” over time and the Nov. 14 win confirms the mindset that his team can compete and beat anyone in the league.
“We had just came off a two-game losing skid, so to go in there and handle them well in that game gives confidence that everything is okay,” he said. “It’s big message.”
Comets coach Troy Kennedy said it was a great win for his club and he hopes they can keep it going. 
“We had to go out and win battles, play harder than them and prove that we are a strong team,” Kennedy said. “(We) got taught a few lessons with a few lopsided losses and hopefully learned from them... that teams are going to be bringing their A game against us every time and we have to be ready for that.”
Kennedy added Beausejour’s leadership group took that to heart.
“Everyone else followed suit. It’s hard to not be successful without hard work and 100 per cent effort.”
Ramsden also commented on Groening’s efforts since joining the club. He said the former WHL player is finding his legs in Beausejour, noting that when he joined the club earlier this month he had been off the ice since April.
“When you haven’t done it in awhile it takes time to get your rhythm and your stamina... to get your hands and your head working together,” Ramsden said. “Every time out we see he is making strides and we see flashes. He will be a big contributor for us down the road.”
Beausejour hosts the Arborg Ice Dawgs on Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. before travelling to Selkirk for a key match-up on Nov. 23 at 3 p.m.

Xtreme win streak reaches eight games

By Tony Zerucha
The Springfield Xtreme stretched their winning streak to eight games with a 7-4 win over the Steinbach Huskies on Nov. 15 scoring five goals in the third period.
Owen Chmelnytzki opened the scoring just 36 seconds into the contest. Newcomer Broden Bush assisted Chmelnytzki’s third of the season. Steinbach then scored twice to take a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes.
The Xtreme had an even quicker start in the second, as Chase Janas began his hat-trick 24 ticks into fresh ice to tie the game 2-2. The Huskies regained the lead at 14:43 to make it a 3-2 game heading into the third period.
David Hazlitt tied the game at 3-3 1:48 into the third frame, but Steinbach replied again at 2:36. From there, it was all Xtreme as Janas scored twice, and Parker Fazio and Easton Crane added singles to make the final 7-4 Springfield.
Springfield dominated the shot clock 53-37. Josh Rach earned the win. The Xtreme scored twice on three power plays while killing five of six penalties against.
A rematch is scheduled for Nov. 21 in Steinbach. Springfield hosts the Grunthal Red Wings on Nov. 22 at 8 p.m.

Winterhawks split leaves them in third

By Tony Zerucha
The Springfield Winterhawks sit in third spot in the SEMHL with a 3-2 record after splitting a pair of games over the past two weeks.
On Nov. 8, they dug themselves an early hole, came back, but ultimately dropped a 3-2 decision to the Warren Mercs.
The Mercs scored twice within 40 seconds five minutes into the game to take a 2-0 lead into the first break. At 8:15 of the second, Owen Blocker connected off passes from Keith Grondin and Adam Hughesman. Five minutes later, Conner Grunsten set up Connor Barley’s power-play tally. The game was tied 2-2 after 40 minutes.
At 4:50 of the third period, the Mercs scored the eventual game-winning goal. Springfield outshot Warren 37-28. Steve Christie took the loss.
Special teams were key in a 3-2 win over the Notre Dame Hawks on Nov. 15. The Xtreme scored once on the power play while killing all five chances against.
On Nov. 15, the Hawks opened the scoring at 18:42 of the first period, but Connor Barley drew Springfield even at 19:22. Carter Barley and Andrew Blocker earned assists.
Dobie Unrau scored a power-play tally 44 seconds into the second frame, with Connor Barley and Dexter Kuczek chipping in. The Hawks scored in the final minute to tie the score 2-2 heading into the third.
The tie game only lasted 30 seconds into the third period before Owen Blocker scored the game-winner. Adam Hughesman and Trevor Weimer were awarded assists.
The victory gives Springfield a three-point edge over the Hawks. Directly ahead with eight points are the Morden Bombers. The Winkler Royals occupy first place with nine points in five starts.
Hughesman is tied for seventh in league scoring with eight points in four games. The Winterhawks’ power play is connecting at a 36.4 per cent pace, nearly double the next-best rate. Their penalty killing sits second at 93.8 per cent.
Springfield’s next home game sees the Ile des Chenes Northstars travel to Oakbank on Nov. 21 at 8:15. The Northstars return for a second tilt at 8 p.m. on Nov. 29.
