At approximately 9:45 a.m. Monday morning, the Minnedosa Fire De-partment and Minnedosa RCMP attended a barn fi re on the property

of Bruce Betteridge at 126 4th Street S.E. (beach road). Th e owner was reportedly in the process of dismantling the barn when the accidental fi re broke out. No injuries were reported. Purchased by Herbert and Edith Graham in September, 1934, this property was once the location of the Graham Flour Mill. Th e fee for ‘gris-ting’ was 25 cents per bushel of wheat and Herb and his sons milled for farmers in this district and as far north as Mountain Road. After closure of the mill, Herb’s son Albert continued operating a blacksmith shop in the same location. Th e property later belonged to Bill Toovey who owned a Plumbing and Heating business there for several years. Th e cause of Monday’s fi re is still under investigation.

The Manitoba Breast Cancer Screening Pro-

gram was held in Minnedo-sa at the local health cen-tre from Wednesday, May 18th to Tuesday, May 31st Th e program had 200 ap-pointments this year. Katie Watters, Man-ager of the program said “In the near future the pro-gram will be renamed and referred to as Breast Check Cancer Care Manitoba.” Th e Well Woman Can-cer Care Program off ers three diff erent tests; colon, breast and cervix checks which will be available for women soon. Manitoba screens over 1,000 women per week and detect about fi ve can-cers per week. About 800 women in Manitoba are told they have breast can-cer every year. An average of 200 women die every year from this disease. It’s a well-known fact that as women grow older the chance of getting breast cancer increases. Research

has shown that regular screening mammograms can lower deaths in wom-en ages 50 to 69 by 25%. It is very important to get checked for breast cancer as it’s the most common of cancers. 80% of cases oc-cur in women ages 50 and over. Th e breast screening takes place every two years in Minnedosa. If you miss your local screening area you can go to Brandon and have the test taken there. Th e Brandon site is located at the Brandon Regional Hospital and is open Tues-day to Friday. Th e tests are processed at the Winnipeg site and the radiologist reads them the next day. “Our goal is a check-up for women to fi nd breast cancer at its earliest stage. Th ere are so many woman coming for the check-up that have no signs or symp-toms whatsoever,” said Ka-tie. “If there are symptoms the patient will not come to this clinic as they usu-ally go to their doctor and have a diagnosis test where

they will then be assessed. If implants are present they will also have to go for breast screening.” One of the questions asked when booking that fi rst appointment is, “Are there any breast problems, like changes in the skin of the breast or nipple area, or any new lumps or bumps that are of concern?” Some cancers can be as small as a grain of rice. Th is year the Cancer Care Pledge Ride marks its 11th anniversary. Last year, the ride had 600 people on over 500 motorcycles. Th ey raised an amazing $63,000 for a grand total of over $330,000. “Th e really nice thing about all of this is that the funds stay in Manitoba and go to the Cancer Care Man-itoba Foundation to help fi ght breast cancer,” men-tioned Katie. “We are very proud of the organizers of this event. Th is year we purchased two cancer care vans with the additional help of Manitoba govern-ment health department

and have the logo print-ed on the side of them.” Th is year’s pledge ride will take place this Sun-day, June 5th in Winnipeg.

Motorcyclists have ridden over 620,000 kms to help in the fi ght against cancer. For more information visit the Cancer Care Man-

itoba Foundation website at www.cancercaremanitobafoundation.com

Recently, during the oral question period in

the Manitoba legislature, Minnedosa MLA Leanne Rowat, questioned Pro-vincial Health Minister, Th eresa Oswald, on the government’s lengthy de-lay on an announcement regarding the proposed joint health care facility for Minnedosa, Neepawa and surrounding municipali-ties. Last September, elev-en municipalities signed a memorandum of under-

standing collectively sup-porting the construction of the joint health care facility between Minnedosa and Neepawa. In February of this year, Minister Oswald met with the group work-ing on this project and in-formed them she woudl get back to them in a cou-ple of weeks. Th ere has been no further contact in the past three months. Oswald responded by stating her government is going to continue to work with the municipalities involved with this project and when it comes to med-

ical facilities in the prov-ince, the government is go-ing to “build, build, build.”

Around

TownBy Darryl Holyk

By DARRYL HOLYK

Looking at this year’s Financial Plan for the Town of Minnedosa, one will notice there are no major pav-

ing or water and sewer upgrade projects planned for the year. Th ere is however $40,000 eartagged for street patching and $400,000 budgeted to purchase diesel backup generators for our water treatment plants. But that is basically it for big ticket expenditures for pav-ing and water. As stated in last week’s front page story regarding the Town’s 2011 Financial Plan, at least one local resident is concerned with Council’s decision to decrease the street paving budget. Over the past few years, we have seen the comple-tion of a number of major street repair and paving projects – over $1 million worth in the past fi ve years. Th ere is of course much more to be done to our streets as many are crumbling, full of potholes or have no pavement and are basically a gravel road. We have also seen an increasing need for water line replacements in the past few years, with service line breaks becoming more frequent each year. It’s to the point that almost weekly, we spot another hole being dug to fi x another break. Th is is due to the fact that our underground in-frastructure has simply reached the end of its regular lifespan; it’s worn out and in need of replacement. In a perfect world, all of our street and water is-sues could be solved in one year. It could be done if not for one major factor – cost. Both paving and water and sewer line upgrades come with hefty price tags. Last

year’s reconstruction of 8th Avenue S.W. came with a price tag of $247,084.While there are grant-in-aid programs available to help municipalities cover some of the cost of such major projects, the majority of the funds come from the community’s taxpayers. We all want our streets and water fi xed but we don’t want to see an increase in our taxes. Unfortunately, the reality is, that is almost impossible. I have seen fi rsthand how our elected offi cials struggle to resolve the many issues facing our community while ensuring tax increases do not skyrocket out of control. In many cases they are situated between a rock and a hard place and can only do what they feel is the most appropriate solution for the community and its residents. Over the course of the next year, the Town will con-tinue to repair and replace service lines as the old ones fail. I have been fortunate to only experience water dis-ruption or discolouration a few times, but have heard from many other residents who experience these un-fortunate water issues more frequently. It’s certainly inconvenient and frustrating when you have no water or the water you do have coming from your taps is dis-coloured and full of particles. If I had to choose between a newly paved street to drive on or clean, reliable water service in my home or business, I would pick the water. Once our water problems are more under control then we can focus on some more major road repairs. Until then, $40,000 worth of pavement patching will have to do!

A diffi cult balancing act

garter snake was spotted recently

outside the Newdale Community Hall.

Th e red sided species is quite common in

Manitoba and is frequently spotted, especially in rural

areas.


More bands added... Recent additions to the line-up for Rockin’ the Fields 2011 include Tom Cochrane, Sass Jordan, Th e Sheepdogs and Jonas and the Massive Attractions. Th is year’s festival will also feature Big Sugar.

Vote for the big stage... While on the topic of RFM, have you been voting for the festival’s portable stage project on the Pepsi Re-fresh website? Th e project is currently ranked #10 for a $100,000 grant. We need to get it closer to the top as only the project with the most votes will receive the $100,000 in funding support. Voting ends June 30th. To vote visit refresheverything.ca Voting for the NF MRI goggle proj-ect ended April 30th and came in 14th in the $25,000 cat-egory.

New position for Inky... Former local Member of Parliament, Inky Mark, has been acclaimed the Manitoba Director for Canada’s Na-tional Firearm’s Association. His political experience and understanding of Canadian fi rearm laws and the legis-lative process will be benefi cial to the association. With Inky on board, the association hopes to have the Liberal Firearm’s Act and Regulations repealed and replaced with sensible laws that allow fi rearm’s owners to freely enjoy the use of their property.

Wages on the rise... On October 1st, 2011 the minimum wage in Manito-ba will again go up. Th is time it’s increasing by 50 cents to $10.00 an hour. Looking back 20 years ago it was half that at $5.00 an hour. In 1971 the minimum wage was $1.50 an hour and 90 years ago, the hourly rate was a whop-ping 25 cents! Th e province’s minimum wage has been increasing yearly, usually by 25 or 50 cents, since 2001. At this rate, minimum wage in the year 2031 should be around the $20.00 an hour mark. I wonder what we’ll be paying for fuel in 20 years?

Letters to the Editor

COPS CORNERBy CPL. BRIAN HUFF

2001 – Th e Minnedosa area is seeing an outbreak of the forest tent caterpillar. Town employees have been out spraying trees on Main Street with Malathion.

1991 – Th e Main Street concrete bridge, constructed in 1932, has a number of ineffi ciencies (weight and width restrictions) and has outlived its usefulness. For the town to keep up with the times the bridge should be replaced with a four-lane structure.

1981 – Vandals have struck again, breaking a window at the Royal Bank and smashing three windshields. To-tal damages are estimated at slightly under $2,000.

1971 – A pharmacy consulting project has been started at the Minnedosa District Hospital. Th e proj-ect will give local medical staff a regular consulting service on new drugs, drug uses and other up-to-date drug information. Th is is a pilot project and the fi rst of its kind in Manitoba.

1961 – To date, more than 2,800 residents of Minnedosa and the R.M.’s of Minto and Odanah have submitted to the tuberculin skin test survey conducted by the Sanatorium Board testing team. Th e results will provide more conclusive evidence regarding those people who may be carrying the TB germ.

1951 – Lieutenant Ernest Delmage has been ap-pointed commanding offi cer of A Squadron, 18th Ar-moured Car Regiment of Manitoba Dragoons.

1911 – Th e railway company has a large building program here. Among the projects under consider-ation are a double track across Main Street, a coal dock and landing chutes, as well as nine tracks west of the roundhouse.

1901 – Work has commenced on the new Presbyte-rian Church at the corner of Main and Water Streets. Most of the young trees around Minnedosa have suff ered extensive damage from the weight of the wet snow which has been left as a result of an unseason-able snowstorm.

As most of you may have heard, we responded

to a very tragic motor ve-hicle accident last Tues-day on PTH #16 Highway, west of Basswood. It is diffi cult to put into words what goes through a per-son’s mind when they pull up to a scene such as the one we pulled up to that late afternoon. Carnage comes to mind. Senseless maybe? Whatever word is used won’t reverse what happened, nor bring that 23- year-old man back to life. It’s diffi cult to fi ll in the blanks for a grieving parent who only hours before, wished his son a safe trip. It was a straight stretch of highway...the sun was out and pavement was dry... no other vehicles were ivolved. We’re just not sure yet what hap-pened. You take the pic-tures, hold the measuring tape, fi ll out the forms, make the calls you’re sup-posed to make and in the end, hope it makes sense and try to help the fami-lies involved fi nd closure. Th e level of professional-ism and dedication I saw that afternoon by our lo-cal Fire and EMS staff was beyond exemplary.

Th e two Nurses from the Shoal Lake and Oakburn area who stopped to assist saved lives in my humble opinion and they all de-serve the opportunity to never have to do it again...but we all know we can’t have what we wish for...so I will say thank you instead. From the Police side of things, we were able to re-open the Yellowhead Highway by 11:30 that eve-ning. Th e formal report from the traffi c analyst will take some time to come in but we can safely say at this point that alcohol was not a factor in the accident. Was this a preventable ac-cident? You bet. Accidents don’t just happen in nasty weather. A long straight stretch with a warm sun can be worse than an ice covered highway. Parents, please talk with your kids about the long trips you’ve made and how important it is to pull over if your get-

ting tired. A walk around your vehicle can quite lit-erally make the diff erence between making it to your destination and not. Th e rest of the week for the Minnedosa area was relatively normal with 23 calls for service report-ed. Offi cers decided to pull over a car on the 29th after watching it weave from one side of the street to the other in Minnedo-sa. At three in the morn-ing, one thing sort of led to another when offi cers were informed that the ve-hicle was not insured, the driver did not possess a driver’s licence, he had in fact been drinking and to top it all off , there was an open case of Lucky Lager on the seat. Not so lucky I suppose, the 57-year-old male from Minnedosa was arrested for Impaired Driving. Normally, this is the part where I get to say how he was taken to the

Detachment and blew in the Breathalyzer. Th is fel-low decides he’s not go-ing to blow. Fair enough, now he’s got a refusing to provide a breath sample charge as well. A number of traffi c tickets were issued this week for passing on a sol-id line, passing a stopped school bus and using a ra-dar detector. Before I get to the Speeder of the Week though, I’d like to remind our fellow motorists that it is the season for Motor-cycles and Bicycles and although they take up a lot less space, we do share the road with them equally so please be on the look-out for our two wheeled friends. Now, the title of Speed-er of the Week is handed down to a 50-year-old man from Alberta when mem-bers stopped his mid-life crisis 2010 Camaro SS trav-elling 135Kph on Highway #10 in the R.M. of Oda-nah. Th e yellow “Bumble-bee” was on his way with a $494.75 welcome to the Province of Manitoba and a friendly request to slow down. Have a safe week.

Dear Editor,

Did you know that one in 300 Canadians

have the genetic marker that can cause an iron overload disorder? Es-timates are that 110,000 Canadians may have this disorder called hemochro-matosis, but are unaware.

If undiagnosed, the con-sequences are potentially fatal. Diagnosis is diffi -cult since symptoms are vague, often masking themselves as other more common conditions, such as liver disease, arthritis, heart problems, or even diabetes.

May is hemochroma-tosis awareness month -- I am on a mission to encourage Canadians to learn more about the warning signs of iron over-load disorder by visiting www.toomuchiron.ca, the Canadian Hemochroma-tosis Society website. Talk to your doctor because a

simple test may save your life, or your loved ones. If I can save even one life through awareness of iron overload, I have made a diff erence.

A three-day business planning workshop

took place in Minnedo-sa government build-ing Tuesday, May 24th to Th ursday 26th. Th e workshop was de-signed for new entrepre-neurs and people who are planning to start a busi-ness, or those currently operating a business. Kim Enns, Business Develop-ment Specialist worked with people individually and in groups. Th e topics covered ev-erything from starting your own small business, re-sources available, fi nancial information and also the components of a business plan. Th ere was also a very interesting introduction to marketing strategies for small businesses. Th e workshop included de-tailed information on ac-counting, bookkeeping, GST and PST and payroll requirements.

Th e workshop was sponsored by Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Ru-ral Initiatives (MAFRI), Manitoba Entrepreneur-ship, Training and Trade. Ten people from the surrounding area attended the workshop and found it

extremely benefi cial. Cory Johnston of “Johnston Yard Care Ser-vices” was one of the peo-ple attending the course. He explained that he has started a yard care busi-ness cutting grass, hedge trimming and general

yard care. “I found the workshop invaluable and learned a lot about the bookkeeping, GST and PST side of business,” said Cory. Sherry Lynn also at-tended the three-day workshop. She and her partner Robert Christian have established a very unique type of bed and breakfast business north of Neepawa at Waldersee. It’s unique becasue your lodg-ings are a traditional Mon-golian yurt along the Big Grass River. “Th e dream is ten years in the making,” said Sherry. “I have taken a lot of the courses through Manitoba Small Business and they have all been absolutely awesome. It’s a really great resource and what’s better is it’s free, you can’t get better than free.”

What are bed bugs? Bed bugs are flat, brown insects – about the size of an apple seed – that feed on human blood. They cannot fly or jump. They usually hide during the day where people sleep or sit. However, they can come out at any time of day if needing to feed. Reactions to bites range from no reaction at all, to itchy red bumps.

How bed bugs can get into your home. Bed bugs can enter anyone’s home. They are carried in on items like luggage, furniture and other household goods. If you find dark, reddish brown stains or black droppings on your mattress, box spring or pillow, there is a very good chance you have bed bugs.

How to keep bed bugs out of your home.Search any used items, particularly mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture for bed bugs before bringing them into your home. Look carefully in all seams and cracks. Use a magnifying glass and a flashlight. If you are unsure about whether or not bed bugs are hiding in a piece of your furniture, the heat from a hair dryer will force them out in the open.

What if you’re renting? If you find bed bugs in your apartment, your landlord is responsible for getting rid of them. You must co-operate with your landlord regarding instructions on how to prepare your home before and after any extermination.

Albert and Edith Par-sons welcomed family

friend and Masai warrior, Moses Samante, into their home for a brief visit from Th ursday, May 19th to Sat-urday, May 21st. Moses, who is the Managing Director of Ma-sai Adventure Safaris Ltd. in Kenya, was featured in a CBC documentary last year, entitled Africa On Th e Move, which detailed his journey from Masai war-rior to Nairobi business-man, and had been invited to Canada by the CBC to further his endeavours in acquiring Canadian cli-ents. Moses has always had a very strong bond with the animals of the Masai Mara. “I am someone who was born very close to the ani-mals. I remember when I was about 12 years old I found a lion cub and took him home, thinking he could be like my big dog. My father, who had several wives and children, did not like that. He told me to take it back. He said ‘when this lion grows up it will eat you, all of your 26 brothers and sisters, your mother and me, so take it back and if it eats you I don’t mind because I have another 26 children.’ So I took the cub back to the den and thankfully the mother was

not there. I felt so lucky that I didn’t get eaten,” he chuckled. Other animals that tourists are sure to see on a Masai Adventure Safari include elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, and rhinoceroses. “Instead of people killing and eat-ing the animals it is better to have them see how the animals live and take pic-tures,” Moses explained. “I tell the Masai the im-portance of having the animals and encouraging tourism.” A passionate philan-thropist, Moses has as-sumed responsibility for the education of not only his brothers and sisters, but several other children of the Masai who would not otherwise get a chance to go to school. He also helps families with medical bills and purchasing cattle, the biggest investment a Masai family can make. Th ere is

very little opportunity for young people in the Masai and Moses knows that as a successful businessman he is one of the lucky ones. He is always travelling home from Nairobi with his wife, Evelyn and their two sons to visit his mother and family and help on the farm any way that he can. Another reason Moses wanted to come to Canada was to visit his ‘Canadian family’, including Edith and Albert Parsons and family friends Keith and Anne Love. Moses fi rst met the Parsons through their son, Edward, who went to Africa in 2002 to work as a photojournalist. Moses had just moved to Nairobi from the Masai in order to pursue his dream of creat-ing a touring safari com-pany and Edward helped him to fi nish college and off ered him a place to stay. Since that time, the two men have been extremely

close. In 2005, Albert and Edith, along with Keith and Anne, went to Africa to meet Moses and he was their guide on their fi rst African safari. It wasn’t long before Moses began calling Edith and Albert his ‘Canadian Mom and Dad’. During their visit, Moses took them to the Masai where they met his family and off ered school supplies to the village from TCS and Douglas Elemen-tary School. Th e couples also used money they had collected and saved to pur-chase other items such as soccer balls for the chil-dren of the Masai while in Kenya. Th e visit was en-joyed immensely by both couples and Albert and

Edith have expressed their desire to go back to Masai one day. During this most re-cent visit, Moses arrived in Canada May 8th and spent time touring Toronto and Niagra Falls before fl ying to Winnipeg and seeing the legislature. What he en-joyed most about his visit, though, was being able to see the Parsons again. “It has been a big dream of mine for the last ten years to come to Canada and see Edward’s parents be-cause he has met my par-ents and all this time he has said good things about Canada,” Moses stated. “I have travelled to many dif-ferent countries but people in Canada and here are very friendly. People are

greeting neighbours and every time we pass other people they say, ‘good day’ and I think generally peo-ple in Minnedosa are very friendly. “I also love being next to the water,” Moses re-marked. “Some people say the water is because of fl ood but to me it is so very beautiful. I could live here like a second home be-cause it’s so beautiful and so nice.” Th e Parsons said goodbye to Moses at the Winnipeg Airport on Sat-urday and he planned to spend about fi ve more days in Toronto before fl y-ing home to Nairobi. He hopes that this visit is only the fi rst of many more to come.

Ag ReportBy ELMER KASKIW

The recent deluge of rain this past week has

many reminiscing back to 1999 when we had over 200 mm of rain in May. Th e diff erence between 1999 and this year is that we had virtually no measure-able precipitation in Janu-ary right through to the fi rst half of May in 1999. Th is year we were already saturated with well above average soil moisture re-sulting from the above av-erage snowfall and runoff . Weekly showers continued to slow seeding making us extremely vulnerable to a large rain event such as ex-

perienced this past week. In 1999 the MASC Annual Report mentions that over 1 million acres were un-seeded due to excessive moisture. June seeding sees our cropping options nar-rowed signifi cantly based upon the likelihood of pro-ducing an average yielding marketable crop. Canola is still likely your best cropping option since de-pending upon August tem-peratures canola can still mature in 85 days which based upon a June 10th seeding date takes you to the last days of August and early September. Th e likelihood of pro-ducing high quality milling wheat from a June seed-ing has a low probability.

Th e variety Intrepid is one of the earliest varieties however it will still need 90 days and you will still be fi ghting wheat midge and likely some signifi cant fusarium pressure. Feed wheat maybe a better op-tion given quality is not as critical especially if grown for the ethanol market. Th e feed wheat variety 411 has a maturity similar to In-trepid and is earlier than Andrew however the yield is somewhat lower. Oats are often June seeded however they actu-ally take as long as wheat to mature especially once the days get shorter and cooler in late August. High soil nitrogen will eliminate oats as a viable option on many pre-fertilized fi elds

for wheat since excessive nitrogen will delay matu-rity well into September. Oats can however tolerate a light fall frost better then wheat or barley maintain-ing its bushel weight and still producing an accept-able yield. Flax is also often seed-ed in June based upon its ability to tolerate light fall frosts however experience has taught us that given our shorter cooler growing season June seeded fl ax can take forever to mature in the fall often requiring well over 100 days to even approach maturity. Th is delay inevitably results in harvest delays well into late October and disap-pointing yields. Barley is most often

the last crop seeded and depending on the fall can be harvested or cut and baled as green feed. Feed supplies this fall may again be very tight as native slough hay will once again be minimal given present water levels.

Boosting Glyphosate Rates

Burnoff applications should see glyphosate rates boosted in order to improve effi cacy and speed of kill. A few calls regarding the boosting the glyphosate component of the product Clean Start. Clean Start uses Credit as its glyphosate component however some produc-

ers have inquired about boosting the glyphosate with the product Maverick. Th ese products can be uti-lized however the mixing order should be to add the Credit, add the Maverick and then fi nally add the Aim. Th is mixing will how-ever void any performance guarantees by the respec-tive companies.

The Minnedosa Mani-toba Youth Job Centre

(MYJC) has been operat-ing for three weeks, and is serving more clients ev-ery day. With our fi ngers crossed for better weather, excitement can begin to settle in for summer break. I have a lot of great ideas for events this summer with the Odd Job Squad, some of them being the dessert sale, kids carnival, car wash, and the annual strawberry pick. Th ere is so much that Minnedosa and surrounding communi-ties can off er young people aged 12-16 as they par-ticipate in the OJS. Th ese opportunities include at-taining essential skills and knowledge needed to en-ter the work force in the fu-ture. I encourage all mem-bers of this community to support the youth and stu-dents of our community. Lots of people forget that the MYJC doesn’t just deal with 12-16 year olds, but we also off er great services for students and youth aged 17-29. I can help you build or fi x a re-sume, create a cover letter, prepare for a job interview, and give you tips for fi nd-

ing a great job. I encourage anyone who is interested to call or visit me at my of-fi ce. I’ll help take away the stress that can be a result of job searching. Just remem-ber this is an easy and free way to potentially fi nd a job! I would also like to remind local homeown-ers and business owners that the MYJC also off ers the job referral program. I currently have a lot of qualifi ed and hardwork-ing students registered with me who are looking for casual, part time, and full time positions. As the weather warms up and the sun begins to shine, you might need help mowing your lawn, weeding your garden, or doing odd jobs around the house and I’d love to help fi nd you some-one who would be willing to help. Th e MYJC also ad-

vocates for volunteering within the community. If you need any volunteers this summer, please con-tact the MYJC. It is im-portant to remember the signifi cance, as well as the humbling experience re-ceived from volunteering. Volunteerism is quickly becoming the most impor-tant part of a young per-son’s resume, employer’s value volunteer experi-ence. Anyone who has vol-unteered in the past knows what a rewarding feeling you get, when you realize you’ve helped others. Re-member: volunteering is what you make of it! If you would like more information or have any questions about the servic-es off ered feel free to con-tact me at 867-3846 or drop by 133 Main Street South (YRESS) in Minnedosa. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Wes Huyghe came back to Minnedosa

last year with a fi rm belief that he could operate and maintain a giant market

garden. His plans were to grow and deliver produce to clients, but soon real-ized it’s alot of work and not exactly effi cient as food is ripening daily and there was a Farmers’ Market in

town only one day a week. Sitting around the breakfast table one morn-ing, chatting with his fam-ily, they had been looking at the site of the Gateway Carwash for a long time.

“We came up with the idea that we could buy it and open a market and it would be a fi ne farmers’ market,” says Wes. Th e idea is to be able to provide people with fresh, local food on a regular ba-sis by moving beyond the farmers’ market and into local and sustainable food production. “Th e carwash site is just perfect, we can bring in unwashed fruit and veg-

etables in the back area, wash and prepare it, and have a nice display area at the front of the store,” ex-plained Wes with a grin. What started as a breakfast conversation un-folded as a great project. Th is has been a dream of Wes’ for a very long

time. Th e location was purchased and renova-tions are being carried out at present. It will take some time to get the premises ready to meet certain stan-dards and health and safe-ty codes but plans to open are set for June 15th. Th e Minnedosa and District Farmers’ Market will be moving from its former location near the Legion Clubroom’s to Wes’ new business in the north

end of town. On June 24th the market kick-off party will take place, with music, and a variety of venders. Wes has partnered with a wholesaler from Winnipeg that is also de-voted to local and sustain-able food products and through that connection

the foods are all from Man-itoba farms, organic when possible, but always local. Th e fruit will be supplied from British Columbia and are all certifi ed organic. Also on sale will be pas-tured poultry, turkeys and pork all from the farm. Shoppers love farm-ers’ markets because they can buy top quality, farm fresh produce directly from the person who pro-duced it. Th ey can often

fi nd unique products they can’t fi nd anywhere else. Community vendors also love the market at-mosphere because they are fun and allow them to connect with the custom-ers who love what they sell and appreciate their hard work. A market is also an important source of in-come to help producers continue what they are do-ing. A venture like Little-path Farm combined with a local Farmers’ Market can bring people together, and can turn a once de-serted area, such as a for-mer carwash, into a hive of activity. Th is activity also attracts extra business for other stores and restau-rants in the community. Th at’s a great thing for the entire business district.

Carrying On A Tradition Nathan White Funeral Director Minnedosa Funeral Service

Is It Wrong To Cry? When a friend or loved one dies, it is only natural for you to give way to grief--and for you to cry. Tears are therapeutic in more ways than many of us realize. They give us an emotional outlet, providing us with specific physical action that we can perform. At the realization that a friend or relative is gone, tears may come easily for both adult and child--and this is good! Most people do not need encouragement to cry, since it is so natural to weep in sorrow. It is not unmasculine to cry at the death of a loved one or a dear friend. It’s a misconception that “big boys shouldn’t cry”. This is all a part of the “stiff upper lip” and “grin and bear it”. If there is an emotional hurt, then the pain should be recognized, acknowledged, and expressed -- in this case, through tears. Your questions and comments on this and other subjects are welcome.

What are the charac-teristics of a well-

rounded, civil society? What should governments be doing to enable its citizens to become more productive and creative members of society with balanced lives? Th e an-swer is not simple but it is obvious that government resources that are avail-able to foster well-rounded citizenship should not all be spent in one particular area. Many times sport be-comes the focus of funding eff orts and sometimes this happens at the expense of the arts. Although no one can doubt the value of sports and the many advantages that participa-tion in sports brings to in-dividuals and to society as a whole, the arts must be promoted as well. Th ere are many worth-while arts activities in our province, ranging from the well- known Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Winnipeg Bal-let to the lesser-known lo-cal music and speech arts

festivals held throughout the province. Th en there are the local live arts per-formances supported by the Manitoba Arts Coun-cil and organized by local performing arts boards. Local art galleries, dance ensembles, theatre com-panies, and music festivals all contribute to the rich artistic life of both rural and urban communities. Participation in the arts provides young peo-ple with many worthwhile life skills, including pub-lic speaking, confi dence in their own competence, and appreciation of the arts and the enrichment the arts can contribute to their lives. Participation in arts and cultural activities also improves creativity,

allows practice at work-ing with other people to provide a host of valuable interpersonal skills, and makes young people less likely to become involved in undesirable activity. Manitoba’s NDP Gov-ernment believes that government plays a vital role in encouraging and supporting the arts. Re-cently Premier Selinger announced the details of the tax credit for children’s arts and cultural activities that was announced in the May budget. Parents can receive a tax credit to cover some of the costs incurred for having their children involved in supervised arts and cultural activi-ties, such as dance, drama, theatre, and photography. Th is tax credit will allow many parents, who might otherwise struggle to fi nd the money to get their kids involved in such activities, to see their way clear to registering their children in some of these worth-while activities.

Many right-wing poli-ticians are not big fans of using tax money to fund such programs. Th eir mantra of “less govern-ment-lower taxes” means that funding for the arts is placed on the chopping block when they gain con-trol of the government. Th eir ideological mindset is that these activities are the responsibility of the parents and should not be a drain on government re-sources. Manitoba’s NDP Gov-ernment estimates that well over 150,000 children in Manitoba will benefi t from this government ini-tiative. Society will ben-efi t as these children learn valuable life skills from their involvement in these activities, which will make them better citizens in the future. Th is is just another way that the NDP Govern-ment is putting families fi rst, supporting children and building stronger communities, and that’s “the other point of view”.

Supporting “the arts”By BERYL PARROTT

Dennis and Irene Mag-wood spent the long

weekend visiting with Wade, Kerry, Tylan and Brooklyn Magwood at Morris, MB. Th e dance on May 14th, at the Franklin Hall was deemed a success. A general meeting was held at the Franklin Hall on May 25th. Upcoming events were confi rmed (Fun Day Picnic in June, Cancer Care supper and

dance in June). Other ren-ovations for the hall were discussed. Beryl Parrott and four other women from the Neepawa First Baptist Church attended a retreat on May 28th at St. Benne-dict’s Retreat and Confer-ence Centre, Winnipeg, MB. Th e Neepawa Baptist Women held a retreat at Valley View Camp, Mac-Gregor, MB on May 13th and 14th, of which I at-tended.

CARD OF

THANKSFREDERICK HERMAN BAYES FREDERICK HERMAN BAYES

JANUARY 23,1918

Fred was born on January 23, 1918 on the family farm at Riverdale, MB. He was the fourth of six brothers. Fred took his schooling at Cadurcis and remained on the family farm until 1941 when he enlisted in World War II and joined the Fort Garry Horses Regiment. Fred was very proud of his service and throughout his life he was a very active member of the Minnedosa Legion. After leaving the army, Fred returned to the family farm and on December 12, 1945, he married Florence Olive Moff at. Fred and Florence farmed together and in August of 1947, they welcomed their fi rst son Robert, followed in 1948 by another son, George. In 1949, Fred and Florence relocated their young family to Salmon Arm, where Fred owned and operated a service station. In 1952, they welcomed a daughter, Kathryn. Fred and Florence moved back to Minnedosa in 1954. Th ey bought a home on 1st Street NE where they lived for 54 years. In Minnedosa, Fred worked for a short time at the RoCo Service Station and Minnedosa Auto Sales. Shortly thereafter Fred decided to venture out on his own and began a tire shop called Minnedosa Tire. Fred and his partner Mac Davidson operated the Tire Shop together and in 1959, they added the John Deere Dealership. Due to growth in both businesses, Mac took over total operation of the Tire Shop and Fred commenced his career in the agricultural retail business, soon joined by Peter Olson. Over the years John Deere went by the wayside and Versatile and Morris became his main focal point. Fred was also very active in the community where he served as President of the Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce, Chairman of the Minnedosa Industrial Commission, and Trustee on the School Board. He was one of the founding members of the Minnedosa Minor Athletic Association and fundraising chairman for the fi rst artifi cial ice surface at the Minnedosa Arena. And this is just to name a few of Fred’s many accomplishments. In 1975, sons Bob and George returned home to operate two dealerships in Neepawa and Minnedosa. Fred then found the time to start enjoying life by travelling with Florence. Together, they travelled throughout North America, mainly spending their winters in Texas. During the summer they enjoyed golf and fi shing in their RV. Fred also found great joy in visiting with his Grandchildren. For many years, his car was recognizable on the streets of Minnedosa because of the bumper sticker that read: “If I had known that Grandchildren were so much fun, I would have had them fi rst.” Fred enjoyed life to the fullest; he could and would talk with almost anyone on any subject. He enjoyed sports, politics and a good laugh. After Florence’s passing in 2005, Fred spent a good deal of his time with family and he made many new acquaintances; however a part of him was missing. In December of 2008, Fred moved to Victoria Landing in Brandon. While in Brandon, he made many new friends and he became very involved in the social activities. One activity for which he was very involved was the organization of a bus trip to show off the many historic sites in his home, Minnedosa. Sadly, Fred left us on Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Fred was predeceased by his parents and brothers Levi and Ray. Left to mourn are his brothers, Ernie, Art and Cecil, as well as sons Bob (Deidre) Bayes from Winnipeg, George (Dianne) Bayes from Minnedosa, daughter Kathy (Bill) Cairney from Calgary, AB. Also, Grandchildren, Becky Bayes and Mike (Kim) Bayes from Winnipeg, Andrea (Leigh) Sawicki from Lockport, Chad (Cheryl) Bayes and Carrie Bayes from Sechelt, BC, Darcy and Colin (Jamie) Cairney from Sylvan Lake, AB; Great Grandchildren, Lacey Bayes from Winnipeg, Kaylene, Teryn & Layne Sawicki from Lockport and Hayden Cairney from Sylvan Lake, AB.
