The show had au- dience members visiting with all the characters in the Christ- mas story, includ- ing (clockwise from above) the three wise men; Mary, Joseph, and the Christ child; shepherds guard- ing their fl ocks, and King Herod, to name a few. People were asked to bring a tin for the bin as admis- sion to the show. As a result, the week- end collected 2,700 pounds of food for the Winkler Food Cupboard.

By Ashleigh Viveiros

The battle for supremacy in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League con- tinues as Winkler split their games last week. The Flyers headed into the weekend fl ying high with a three game win streak and sole possession of fi rst place in the standings. They cemented that lead with a 2-1 victory over the Fri- day night. The close match featured Winkler goals from Matt Krawiec at the end of the fi rst period and Coltyn Bates a few minutes into the second. Selkirk got on the board at 8:33 in the middle frame and that was it for scoring. Winkler’s Troy Martyniuk denied all comers, saving 38 shots on goal as Winkler narrowly outshot Selkirk 40-39.
