The Minnedosa Regional Events Centre (MREC) committee has started its latest fundraising scheme

to raise funds for the proposed 40 acre facility. A tiered sponsorship package was released to the public last week in which corporations, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to participate in if they wish. “We are going after our capital moneys in order to build the project,” MREC co-chair Jon Lewis said. “I think we have put together a very good package to off er cor-porations/businesses something for their dollar which was very important to the committee. Currently, we have identifi ed 25 potential corporate entities that we will ap-proach to see what level they would like to come in at.” Th e committee has set a goal to raise the remainder of the full amount of four million dollars with the spon-sorship packages. “We think it is achievable. As we have raised what we have already without really pushing it, we have the potential to move to the goal that was set for ourselves,” Lewis said. MREC has already raised over half a million dollars locally through service club/group and individual donations over the last four years. Th e fundraising will be ongoing but hopefully most of the sponsorship packages will be wrapped up around end of November. Th is approach was taken after the MREC commit-tee worked with a partnership group from Calgary who helped them put together the package; evaluating the space that MREC has proposed and they put together a plan of how to properly approach a corporate entity or an individual for how they can be part of the project. People can donate by picking up a donation pam-phlet from numerous locations in Minnedosa that have been made available to the public in the last week or by fi lling out the form that appeared in last week’s Tribune. Th e donation sheets can be dropped off at John’s Tax Ser-vice and Accounting or through MREC’s mailing address. MREC has recently experienced public opposition to the project from some community members who are ex-pressing their concerns with the project. Lewis respond-ed to this by saying, “We’re in a democracy and people can speak to the issues as they wish. At this point in time, we will move forward and as we have always said, we will build within the parameters of what we raise.”

Author Esther Paul was back in her home-

town of Minnedosa this past weekend promot-ing her latest and third book, Mending Fences. She made an appearance at the Minnedosa Regional Li-brary Saturday afternoon and read from her new book during the library’s open house event. Mending Fences is a collection of short stories about everyday relation-ships between ordinary people. Four of the short stories featured in her lat-est book are award win-ning. “I like writing and tell-ing short stories,” men-tioned Esther. “I’ve been telling tales forever.” When she realized she had completed enough short stories for a book she approached her publisher and Mending Fences fell into place. “When we put them (the stories) all together

a theme sort of presented itself. It was about making things right. I think we all have regrets from our past, things that we should have done or should not have done. We wish we could go back and sometimes we can fi x it. So, Mending Fences title just emerged.” Th e stories showcase a wide spectrum of emo-tions; some are deep and heavy while others are light and funny. One story in the book is a “what if” story which Esther explains she wrote as a way to accept a hardship she was facing personally when one of her sons left the family over 35 years ago. “To my sorrow and regret he left the fam-ily and cut himself off from us. I fi nally came to terms with it, in that you can’t have a relationship with someone who won’t have a relationship with you.” Th e published story is about a woman named Elizabeth whose son suddenly reap-pears in her life. Currently a resident of

Ontario, Esther was born and raised in Minnedosa in the 1930s. She shared some of her early local childhood memories in her fi rst book, A Railway Kid, published in 2004. “Th at book just keeps sell-ing,” said Esther. “Prai-rie people like it, railway people like it, Depression people like it, small town people like it.” Her second book, In Spite of All Th at, is a fi cti-tious novel which the au-thor feels features “every woman’s story.” It’s a story of a woman struggling to realize her true potential through the diffi culties in life. “Having been a coun-sellor, I’ve realized we don’t change until we have to,” explained Esther. “If everything’s going along good we just keep going but if we come up against a brick wall of some sort, then we have to fi nd a way to deal with it. I think there are two kinds of people – those who triumph and move on and those who

just shut down.” Esther is currently on a cross-country tour pro-moting Mending Fences. Growing up a “railway kid” in Minnedosa, Esther is travelling by train as much as she can on this tour. “I’ve been across the coun-try and down to California by train a few times as we used to have a free train pass when dad worked for the railway.” A copy of Esther’s newest book has been do-nated to the local library. It is also available for pur-chase at Minnedosa Phar-macy, through McNally Robinson and through her website www.estherpaul.ca

The Milk Provincial Track and Field Cham-

athletes that we sent re-ceived a medal, all of them beat their personal results at this meet,” Chancellor Coach John Potter said. “Th e competition at this event is very tough.” Erickson Collegiate sent three athletes to the provincial meet after plac-ing in the top three in the Neepawa meet in late

May. Grade 9 student Mal-lory Workman, received a bronze medal after placing third in the Junior Varsity girls Javelin fi nal throwing 28.43m. Steph Hosman, a Grade 10 student, also re-ceived a bronze medal in the Junior Varsity girls shot put fi nal. Hosman threw 8.78m.

Minnedosa Collegiate Institute (MCI) are

following suit with many schools in the world by stopping the sales of bot-tled water. By September, at the start of the next school year, MCI will have removed bottled water from their coolers after a student group pushed for a change. Th e MCI Credit Union Youth Board (CUYB) led the school in making a change to become more sustainable and environ-mentally conscious. Al-though the purpose of the board is to learn how to run meetings and to run the sales of school cloth-ing, they wanted to take the initiative on themselves. Th e mission that the students set up for the month of April was to put up boxes in all of the class-rooms and the canteen to ask students and staff to put their plastic water bottles in them. Over the

course of the month, they were collected and count-ed. Once the group had fi nished collecting, the members dumped rough-ly 500 bottles on the gym fl oor at a school assembly for the students to see how many plastic bottles were used during April. While collecting the bottles, the CUYB put to-gether a proposal that was presented to MCI princi-pal, Martin Ingenmey. Th e proposal was presented to convince him to request a water bottle fi lling sta-tion to be installed in the school. Before the assembly in early May and once In-genmey knew about the CUYB’s proposal, he had already requested to the school division and their maintenance department to have a fi lling station put in place. Th e school division agreed to Ingen-mey’s request and a water bottle fi lling station will be installed sometime this summer. To fund the fi ll-

ing station, the Minnedosa Credit Union, CUYB, MCI Student Council, and MCI Canteen have all decided to donate towards the proj-ect. Th e students had full support from the staff at MCI to have their pro-posal turn into a reality. “I was behind them 100 per-cent,” MCI teacher Tanis Barrett said. She contin-ued, “As a teacher, for me seeing them stick to their proposed plan to collect the bottles, count them, and then display what had been done in front of the school, it showed me what leaders these students are.”Th e students also decided to have a video made of their project to be entered into the Manitoba Credit Unions video contest. Th e video was created by Grade eleven student Katie Woychyshyn. “I was really proud of what the students did be-cause I believe we have many that are very con-scious and aware of the en-

vironment,” Ingenmey said as he commended his stu-dents for their eff orts to see a change. “I really like how they took the initiative and made it real for the rest of the students so they could concretely see the con-sumption of bottled drinks in the school.” MCI is the fi rst to ban bottled water sales in the Rolling River School Di-vision, possibly leading the trend for all schools in the division to follow their move. “We are the fi rst school to do this as we have requested it but I imagine that between the schools requesting and

the division requiring, it will be a push to remove bottled water sales in all schools in the division,” Barrett said. Barrett hopes that the school will be able to receive funding to pro-vide a second water fi lling station in the future. Bottled water is be-lieved by many to be better overall than tap water but groups such as Th e Coun-cil of Canadians, Canada’s largest citizens’ organiza-tion, believe this is a myth and have determined fi ve reasons to ban bottled wa-ter. Th e fi rst is that bottled water leads to water short-

ages as it takes three to fi ve litres of water for every one-litre bottle produced. Bottled water contributes to climate change and our landfi lls cannot support bottled water which make up the second and third reasons. Th e fourth is that bottled water is not safer than tap water because bottled water plants are tested less frequently than water treatment plants. Th e fi nal reason to ban bot-tled water is that water is a human right and should be made available without having to purchase it.

MCI banning bottled water from school

To determine just how many plastic water bottles were used by MCI staff and students during a month, the Credit Union Youth Board

recently held an in school collection depot and roughly 500 bottles were collected. MCI students (L-R) Breanne Morgan, Kayla Betke, Kendell

Holmes and Jayne Soltys are pictured with some of the plastic water bottles that were collected.

By JIM IRWINPresident of the Manitoba Rural Tourism Association

The Federal Government, with their overwhelm-ing economically driven priorities, have decided

to shut down winter services in Riding Mountain Na-tional Park. However, when one considers the long-term business losses and consequent private-sector unemployment in the greater Riding Mountain Re-gion, I question their rational and doubt that the fi s-cal savings when compared to the losses of federal tax revenues will balance the Federal Leger. Austerity and prudent fi scal cuts in the name of operational effi ciency are totally understandable but deciding to eliminate the critical services that will destroy an established regional winter economy is another. Th e notion of economic destruction rather than proac-tively ensuring economies grow seems to fl y in the face of the current government’s message that eco-nomic growth must be fi rst and foremost. Economies in rural areas diff er greatly from the complex economies of urban areas. Rural economies are fragile, because they are much more simplistic, depending on a single or a small number of local resources. Being in the rural tourism business for almost three decades and operating within the con-fi nes of our fi nite local tourism-resource base, I know the constant challenge in maintaining the stream of customers that sustain us. Our winter business from skiers has been critical to our survival. Our business is but a minute part of the Regional economy but I know, if winter services are discontinued in the Park, many other businesses will be similarly impacted. I use the term “economic destruction” above, because in “destination tourism” it takes years to build the stream of visitors and the consequent re-gional tourism economy. Th e cost of advertising is prohibitive to attracting signifcant numbers of fi rst-time visitors, so the growth in the number of return visitors over the years is the process that allows the economy to grow by enabling new businesses to become established. Accordingly, this established “visitor stream” becomes the life support of the local established economy. Continuity of available activities and services, including those of the local businesses, is crucial to maintaining the stream of returning visitors who

have incorporated their destination activities into their annual routines. When the activities that are attracting and sustaining the visitor stream are no longer available, the visitors/customers will go else-where and domino eff ect of economic contraction will take place. With economic contraction, one can expect to witness the complete opposite to the “economic multiplier eff ect” of a growing economy. Th e de-struction of our winter economy will take its toll on the overall year-round economy. Local businesses will feel the pinch and some will go out of business. Th e area will be depopulated as people seek work or business opportunities elsewhere, making the area more economically depressed. Tragically, even if ac-cess to winter activities is restored some time in the future, it will become a long-term battle for the re-gion to rebuild the customer/visitor base again and restore the diminished private-sector services and the Region’s population. Accordingly, the expression “economic destruction” is a fi tting term. In summary, from the regional, economic-sus-tainability perspective the issue is “the critical con-tinuity of access by the public to winter activities in Riding Mountain National Park” and from the feder-al government’s perspective it should be “prioritizing the duties of their staff in the Park to insure the ski trials are groomed and parking lots cleared for winter visitors to insure a sustained resource-based econo-my versus the destruction of an established regional economy”. According to an article in the Winnipeg Free Press June 2, 2012, “Conservative MP Robert So-puck has pledged to fi nd a way to keep Riding Moun-tain National Park’s ski trails and skating rink open this winter”. I urge local businesses, local governments and the Provincial Government to come together and en-gage in a comprehensive study of the regional eco-nomic impact of these winter activities to support the Honourable Mr. Sopuck and convince the Fed-eral Government that the cost/benefi ts of retaining a small, winter staff to maintain winter services (rather than laying them off for the winter on employment insurance) are win-win for everyone in the long run.

Parade Marshall... After years of dedicated service to the community and our annual Fun Fest, Don Farr has been chosen as Honorary Parade Marshall for this year’s parade. Don is most worthy of this honour for his wholehearted love for this community, willingness to always lend a hand, off er support and for the outstanding strength and determination he has demonstrated through his re-cent personal health battle. Some years ago, when the demise of Fun Fest loomed due to lack of volunteers, it was Don who single-handedly stepped forward, rounded up some troops and ensured Fun Fest would continue. As Don rolls by in this year’s parade, be sure to tip your hat and holler out a cheer as a small token of appreciation for all he has done for Minnedosa! He is truly one of our community’s greatest citizens.

Dear Editor,

The contemptuous treat-ment of Canadian

farmers/citizens by the Harper Conservatives is unbelievable! It should make most who voted Tory cringe in shame. Harper, Ritz and An-derson destroyed the Canadian Wheat Board which was operated by a board of farmers elected by farmers, paid for by farmers and worked on the behalf of all farmers. Th ey reduced the role of the Canadian Grain Commission, which pro-tected farmers from un-scrupulous grading by grain companies. Th ey eliminated the Canadian Food Inspection

Agency’s role in protecting consumers from unsafe drugs and food products, false advertising, and en-forcing food labeling, all for the benefi t of consum-ers. More recently they cut the Prairie Farm Reha-bilitation Administration which operates 85 Com-munity Pastures, water management, grants for wells and dugouts and pro-vides trees for farms, com-munity development, mu-nicipal governments etc. Th ese pastures continually moved their bulls around, thus elimination the need for farmers/ranchers buy-ing expensive breeding bulls every few years. Ritz had the gall to announce that the gov-

ernment was setting up a 25 million dollar grant (All taxpayer money) to boost the amount of grain shipped through the Port of Churchill. Who will get this money – certainly not the farmers? It will go to the likes of Pioneer Grain (Richardson’s) with terminal at Vancouver, Th under Bay and Prince Rupert: Alliance Grain Terminal (Vancouver and Th under Bay); Parrish and Heimbecker (Vancouver and Th under Bay); Cargill (Vancouver, Th under Bay and Prince Rupert); Viterra (Vancouver, Th under Bay and Prince Rupert); ADM (Th under Bay) and Omni-Trax Rail. Is anyone naïve enough to think that these corporation will utilize

Churchill when they al-ready own terminals at other Ports? Add to this the thou-sands of people they have fi red, the changes to the Employment Insurance, and increased eligibil-ity for OAS from 65 to 67, they have proven, without a doubt that their loyalty lies with the Corporate sector of the world and not the Canadian citizen. At the same time they have reduced the corporate tax rate from 21% (2007) to 15% (2012). Small wonder they have defi cit budgets.

The school year is draw-ing to an end and that

means travel plans for many Manitobans. Often these plans include travel-ling on roads and highways throughout the province. Unfortunately, Manitoba’s roads are not up to par, nor are they equipped to han-dle increased traffi c that occurs during the summer months. All Manitobans will agree that last year’s fl ood was extremely diffi cult on highways and roads in the province. It has now been

one year since many were damaged and we have yet to see signifi cant construc-tion and improvement. Highways and roads in Riding Mountain are espe-cially in poor condition. I have been approached by many constituents asking for roads to be repaired and updated. Yet, each time I send a request to the Minister, it falls on deaf ears as many of the roads we’ve inquired about re-main untouched. Roads in Riding Mountain face a tremen-

dous amount of issues: some are riddled with pot-holes, some were washed out in last year’s fl ood, and some are saturated so bad-ly that large trucks cannot even make it through. In Infrastructure and Trans-portation Estimates on May 15th, 2012 the Minis-ter said, “But in some ar-eas - we’ve got signifi cant ground saturation of water, so they - I do acknowledge there’s a lot of concerns.” If the Minister understands and acknowledges road concerns, why won’t he prioritize improvements to Manitoba’s roads and highways? Th e NDP raised the gas tax by 2.5 cents per litre in May. Vehicle reg-istration will increase by $35 per vehicle. Th e NDP say that every dollar raised through these new taxes

will be invested in roads, bridges and other infra-structure. Of interest is that 2012/13 estimates for the Department of Infrastruc-ture and Transportation show a 13.2 per cent re-duction in capital spend-ing - or approximately $99 million. Most concerning is that funding for Provin-cial Roads within the Rural Municipality has been cut by approximately $6,000. In spite of hiking gas and motive fuel taxes with a promise to pay for infra-structure improvements, there appears to be less money dedicated to capital investment in infrastruc-ture. Th is is not good news for Manitoba, not to men-tion the numerous roads in need of repair and updat-ing in the Riding Mountain Constituency alone.

2002 – June McPherson has been awarded the Com-munity Caring Award from the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba in recognition of her dedication to community service through her career and volunteer ef-forts. Jacki Nylen was the recipient of a Canadian Home and School Federation Health Award for her outstand-ing achievements in both physical education and health promotion with youths.

1992 – Th e fi rst day or archaeological excavations at the Minnedosa beach site has revealed pottery sherds and archaic projectile points indicating the strong pos-sibility that a culture of people once populated the site some 3,000 to 4,000 years ago.

1982 – A giant fi ve acre greenhouse is a project pres-ently under consideration by Mohawk Oil offi cials and local businessmen. If it goes forward, the project would produce tomatoes and cucumbers for the Manitoba and Saskatchewan markets.

1972 – As a result of a query by a resident, Mayor Joyce Stevenson introduced to council the idea of pro-viding a pet cemetery in town. After several humourous comments on the diffi culties involved, the mayor insisted that she was serious and that the resident’s request was equally serious. It was decided that if there was a general need for such a facility, it could be discussed again, but one inquiry did not constitute such a need.

1962 – Two juvenile girls from Brandon were found guilty of shoplifting in Minnedosa. Th ey had lifted a blouse from one local store, found that the size was too large for them, and tried to palm it for a refund at another merchant. Th ey subsequently lifted a pair of nylons from another shop as well as a pair of sunglasses from one of the town’s two drug stores, again trying to get a refund at the other.

1902 – Some parties in Minnedosa have been keep-ing white rats and now some of the rodents have escaped and established residence under a dwelling.

Heather Hrymak of Erickson took first place again this year in the Female 18 and Over 5km category with a time of 27:30. Onanole`s Jen-nifer Workman took sec-ond (27:50) and Christa Veitch of Rivers came in third (31:13). Th e family with the most pledges was Lindsay and Aaron Willms of Bran-don and the top individual was Jeff Nykoliation, also of Brandon. Th e Willms’ and Nykoliation both have

a child that has NF. The idea for Run With Me 4 NF came after Gregorash ran in a mara-thon in the United States for the children’s tumor foundation. Tracy had a great time running in the marathon for a wor-thy cause and wanted to bring a bit of it back with her to Minnedosa. Since Run With Me started sev-en years ago, the charity has raised about $35,000. The event isn’t held without the support from the community. “I am blessed by the support that is provided by the sponsors and volunteers for the event,” Gregorash said. Steven and Ian Smith did an excellent job en-tertaining those in at-tendance following the run. The MBNF support group will be hosting a fundraiser golf tourna-ment at the Shilo Country Club which will be held towards the end of the summer.

Frontier Trading Com-pany has been servic-

ing the community for the past 15 years. Th e goal of the company is to provide assistance to their clients, who each have a disability. Th e main part of Frontier is their store which is located at 9th Avenue S.W. Frontier is a thrift store in which all of the items in stock are donated by people in the community. Th e store receives anything from furniture to dishware to pictures. Th e money that comes in from items that are sold helps cover the overhead costs of the store. It pays the store’s electricity and water, all of the wages for four full-time staff and nine part-time staff . Th e nine part-time staff are all individuals that

are clients of Frontier. Frontier is a commu-nity orientated program. Nearly all of the money that the clients receive is spent here in the community. Frontier’s Executive Direc-tor, Rita Creighton, said “Frontier’s client’s wages are spent in the commu-nity because clients do not have access to go to other areas very often.” Frontier holds regular sales. One of these is the “10 cents Sale” which takes place once every six weeks. Everything that is $5.00 or less is then priced for 10 cents excluding electron-ics. Frontier has had cus-tomers wondering why, once the sale has ended, clothes are priced at their regular 25 cents. Frontier wants to stress that they stand on their own two feet with operating the store

and prices do rise in accor-dance to wage increases, water and electricity rates. Th e store gets absolutely no funding to operate from the government. Frontier off ers ser-vices outside of the store. Th e company has a full-time truck person that does pickups and deliver-ies for items to be sold in the store, furniture, etc.., as well as dump runs for a nominal fee. Frontier has a board of directors that consists of six community members and their role as directors is to overlook the manage-ment of the store, come up with fundraising ideas, as well as ideas to attract cus-tomers to the store. Th e store has been at its current location for seven years. Frontier was previously located in the building that is now housed by Chipperfi elds, which they outgrew. Th e current Frontier was start-ed in 1997 by a group of individuals in the commu-nity who noticed that there was a need for a service for individuals with dis-abilities who were living at home but needed some-thing to do. Four of the nine clients are local peo-

ple whereas the other fi ve have come to Minnedosa from other communities. Frontier has two group homes which is where six of the clients live. Th ere is a staff member who spends time with the clients out-side of the store’s working hours to assist them with their banking, grocery shopping, paying bills, etc. Besides the store op-

eration, Frontier does re-ceive funding from the provincial government for some of its services. Th ey receive funding for their supported living program which is for their clients who live independently but also need some as-sistance. Some funding is also provided by the prov-ince for maintenance on the group homes.

Creighton empha-sised that Frontier Trading Company is encouraged to continue the store and that is a result of the sup-port they have received from the community. “We are extremely thankful to the community and with-out its support, our clients wouldn’t have a job.”

Fifteen guests from Vic-toria Landing Retire-

ment residence in Bran-don visited with Grade 5 and 6 classes on Friday June 1st. Th ey were at the school to visit with the stu-dents, who are research-ing for their social studies projects. Grades 5/6 King-don and Freeman classes studied WWI, WWII, the depression, the Winni-peg Strike, Women Suf-fragettes, and technol-ogy. After learning about each topic, students chose one of the topics to come up with a focus question which will be used for a display project. Th e classes

are holding a social studies fair at the school later this month. One of the guests was Archie Londry, who was a long-time Minnedosa resi-dent. Londry, along with another war veteran came dressed in their uniforms and talked to students about the medals that were on their uniforms. Th ey also discussed where they were from and how diff er-ent the schools and tech-nology are now to when they were growing up. Another of the guests was Mrs. Kingdon’s grand-ma Alice Wesley. Wesley was born in England and moved to Canada with her family when she was four years old. 86-year-old Alice

was only eight when WWII started and focused more about what her life was like when she was a child. She described that her family didn’t receive a television until the 1950’s and in-stead played cards on the evenings, which surprised the children. Other guests shared stories of what sort of chores they did as chil-dren, Hitler and the holo-caust, and what transpor-tation was used to get to school. Th e participating stu-dents will have a display of their work available for viewing by the public June 26th at 9:15 a.m. Anyone interested is welcome to attend.

The Minnedosa Golf and Country Club’s

(MGCC) driving range has undergone some changes. Earlier this week, the last of the sod was laid on the range in which the tee deck has been levelled, an irrigation system has been installed, and an addition of a practice bunker. Th e project, com-pleted by Pembina Land-scaping, is estimated to cost between $13,000 - $15,000, working into an overall plan of golf course improvements. Due to the fl ooding impact at the golf course in 2011, the staff was not able to address the issues that they would have liked to on the driv-ing range as well as the rest of the course. Th e driving range im-provements should bring

in more business for the golf course. “Th e recent upgrades will attract more people, which will in turn bring more revenue in for the golf course,” MGCC Superintendent Dan Bailey said. “In order to generate higher dollar amounts, you have to put money into improvement projects which is what we did with the driving range.” Once construction is complete, the driving range will close at 7:30 p.m. on Sundays and Wednesdays and open at 9:00 a.m. on Mondays and Th ursdays for staff to cut the grass on the grounds. Th e next major proj-ect for the golf course is an upgrade to the pump house which is planned to take place in the fall. Many smaller projects have been planned at the golf course

this season. A new fence has been erected to co-incide with the improve-ments to the entrance area, landscaping will take place on the 8th hole tee, and drainage upgrades on the holes aff ected by 2011 spring fl ooding. Th e course was hit signifi cantly because of last year’s spring fl ood-ing. MGCC General Man-ager and Head Golf Pro Deb Pritchard said, “Th ere was a lot of damage done to the course last year but the grounds crews have brought it back and it is in amazing shape.” Th e course experienced hole closures until late in the season which meant that maintenance and low golfi ng numbers had an eff ect on their over-all costs. “Th ere’s always an impact on the bottom line, being the budget, but

considering the amount of time we were impacted by the fl ooding last year, I think we did well and we are looking to move for-ward for 2012.” Golfi ng numbers are

up substantially this sea-son compared to the 2011 season. Pritchard said, “Th e numbers are very comparable to an aver-age year but hopefully this year we can continue

bringing golfers out to our course and also grow.” Th e rush that the golf course has experienced so far didn’t happen until the second half of August last year.

The building sitting at the corner of Main

Street and 2nd Avenue S.W. in the heart of downtown Minnedosa has forever been a local landmark. I am of course referring to the “clock tower” build-ing. Today, this grand his-toric building houses the administration offi ces and council chambers of the Town of Minnedosa but it was originally constructed as Minnedosa’s Dominion Post Offi ce and housed various federal agen-cies on the second fl oor. Th is magnifi cent build-ing is certainly unique to our community but has numerous similarities to other old federal postal buildings found through-out Canada, most often in smaller rural communi-ties. A quick search of the buildings showcased on Canada’s Historic Places registry located at least ten federal buildings with a similar and familiar exte-rior design as Minnedosa’s grand Civic Centre. While

some are almost identical, most seem to have some unique feature which sep-arates them from the oth-ers. Th ese buildings, with their grand facades and corner clock towers, were designed by David Ew-art, who served as the Chief Dominion Archi-tect for Federal Govern-ment buildings from 1896 to 1914. During the early boom years of many Cana-dian communities, these structures were built to refl ect a grand presence of the Federal government in small rural towns. Th e plan certainly worked as even today these buildings con-tinue to showcase a domi-nant eye-catching pres-ence in their community. It was 100 years ago, in 1912, that a building per-mit valued at $25,000 was issued for a new Post Offi ce in downtown Minnedosa and construction was soon underway. Th e building opened as a Post Offi ce and Government Services building in August 1914. Most of Architect Ew-

art’s federal postal build-ings of that time period, like Minnedosa’s, were constructed of red brick, but there were a few excep-tions. A similar building in Elora, ON, built in 1911, features a sandstone exte-rior. Another one, in Wa-terloo, ON is very close in appearance to Minnedo-sa’s with the expectation of the ground fl oor level which features a sand-stone exterior with upper storeys in red brick. From the buildings featured on the Historic Register, most

are a two or three storey building with a three to fi ve storey clock tower. Minnedosa’s is a three sto-rey structure with a mag-nifi cent fi ve storey clock tower rising high above the surrounding build-ings dominating our Main Street business district. Today, it is hard to imagine discussions sur-rounding the possible demolition of a building such as Minnedosa’s Civic Centre, but that was exact-

ly what took place in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the local Post Offi ce moved from its Main Street landmark to the current building one block east. It is reported in the January 23rd, 1969 edition of Th e Tribune that the Post Of-fi ce Department was look-ing at four downtown sites for a new Post Offi ce. One of these proposals includ-ed the demolition of the old building, straightening the jog at the intersection of Main Street and 2nd Av-enue S.W. and construct-

ing a new Post Offi ce just south of this straightened intersection, which would have put the building just north of the current Jack Adam Men’s Wear build-ing, where 2nd Avenue currently runs. Th ankfully, this plan was not chosen or we would have lost our historic landmark build-ing! Fortunately, the ma-jority of Town Councillors of the day saw potential in the old brick landmark and in October 1971 passed

a bylaw authorizing the purchase of the former Post Offi ce building from the Crown Assets Disposal Corporation for a sum of a mere $2,000. At the sug-gestion of then councillor Jim Burgess, it was de-cided to relocate the Town offi ces to the main fl oor of the building, which came to fruition after consider-able renovations. Th e offi -cial opening of the current Minnedosa Civic Centre was held 40 years ago this week on June 17th, 1972. While the interior of Minnedosa’s Civic Cen-tre has undergone some changes and moderniza-tion over the years, the exterior has gone virtu-ally unchanged since con-structed between 1912 and 1914. Th e one notable change to the exterior was the removal of the south window in the front foyer which was enlarged for a doorway in the 1980s to accommodate the in-stallation of a wheelchair ramp to make the building handicap accessible. As

seen just a few years ago when the new Civic Centre signs were installed, the building still features its original carved stone Post Offi ce signs above both the front and side entrance doors. Minnedosa’s Civic Centre was offi cially de-clared a historical Site by the Heritage Council of Manitoba on July 11th, 1987. A plaque marking this dedication hangs on the front exterior wall of the building. Communities which boast these landmark postal buildings are for-tunate to still have them, as so many grand historic structures, such as our Tremont Hotel and Bran-don’s Prince Edward Ho-tel, have been lost over the years. Such landmark buildings can never be re-placed and we should be proud to have one of the fi nest examples of David Ewart’s designs stand-ing boldly on display in downtown Minnedosa.

Minnedosa’s Dominion Post offi ce building is a fi ne example of the handsome grand postal

buildings constructed by the federal government in the early boom days of rural communities.

Although unique, Minnedosa’s landmark clock tower building has many similar features to other historic post offi ce structures across the country.

Carman’s Dominion Post offi ce is strikingly diff erent than most built during the same time

period, yet overall features a similar look. Notable diff erences include a domed clock tower rather than the common pyramidical roof towers

and the absence of the mansard roof on the main building. Th e Carman structure currently

houses the Boyne Regional Library.

Th e Morden Dominion Post offi ce building has many similar features to Minnedosa’s although

a scaled down version. Morden’s building, built between 1913 and 1915 is a two storey

structure with a three storey clock tower. Today, the Morden structure is home to the

Pembina Hills Art Council and Gallery.

Former Minnedosa resi-dent, Sean Perkins, is

seeing big things for his musical career. Perkins is a member of SitDownTracy; a fi ve member Indie Pop Rock band based in Win-nipeg. Perkins joined Sit-DownTracy in October 2009 being brought in as the tambourine player. He met two of the band members while he was attending college in Win-nipeg and through getting to know them better, they asked Sean to join their band. Previous to him joining the band, SitDown-Tracy was a four member band for two years.

SitDownTracy origi-nated as a school project. Th e lead vocalist, Janelle, was working on a proj-ect for her college class in which she was to start a band and record an elec-tronic playlist (ep). She re-cruited a bass player along with a drummer. From there, the trio continued with the band outside of class. Th e fi rst single that was released was the one made for the school proj-ect. SitDownTracy released a full length titled “Roaring

Noon” around the time that Perkins joined the band. Two and a half years later, on April 21st of this year, the band released “Twenty Something Win-ters” a full length featuring six songs.

SitDownTracy also re-corded a few ep’s at Agas-siz Studios, just outside of Teulon, MB. A couple of the songs from this record-ing made it to the recent full length release. Perkins and his band will be packing up their instruments to tour out West in August. Th ey are hoping to make stops in Regina, Saskatoon, Cal-gary, Edmonton, and Van-couver. SitDownTracy are also hoping to tour Eastern Ontario and the Maritimes later on this year. Th e band toured with their fi rst al-bum in Southern Ontario, Ottawa, and Montreal. Th e band practices at least two times a week. Th e writing process is organic in which the other four members who have writ-ten songs write by them-selves before it comes to the full band. Before go-ing on tour, SitDownTracyhope to have a few more new songs to take with them. Sean has a talent for

playing a variety of diff er-ent instruments. Perkins felt that once he joined the band, they had enough members to have more in-strumentation in the band. He brought in the saxo-phone which he recalls playing in elementary and high school concert bands in Minnedosa. Perkins also plays the bass guitar, har-monica, keyboards, tam-bourine and the shaker. Perkins is hoping and can see SitDownTracy ex-panding their audience base outside of Winnipeg. “We are at that point where we have fi ve professionally minded people who have jobs to sustain ourselves but there is that step we can now take to focusing more on our musical ca-reers.” Perkins continued, “Although we are not quite at the stage where we need to quit our day jobs and hire ourselves a manager, we hope that point will come in the near future.”

SitDownTracy were recently voted as the Best Local Band and Best New Local CD in the Uptown`s Readers` Choice Awards; a survey ran by Uptown, an arts, entertainment, and news magazine in Winni-peg. Away from the band,

Perkins keeps himself busy. He works casually for Macdonald Youth Services as a clinician for the mo-bile crisis team. During the CFL season, Sean works as a cameraman for all of the Winnipeg Blue Bomber home games. You can fi nd SitDown-Tracy on their website: www.sitdowntracy.ca, on Twitter @SitDownTracy, as well as on Facebook.

After three years of planning and many

weekends worth of volun-teer labour, the Onanole Trail, Onanole’s newest recreational attraction, is now ready for use. At fi ve kilometers in length, the multi-use trail leads from the heart of Onanole to Sportsman’s Park and Deer Road, before link-ing to the trails of Riding Mountain National Park. For those interested in getting a guided tour of the trail, introductory walking and biking tours have been scheduled for June 30th and July 1st. Led by trail committee volun-teers, the tours will start at the R.M. of Park offi ces in Onanole, with hiking and biking tours. Th e trail has been designated as non-mo-torized, and has been de-signed for both cyclists and walkers during the summer, and skiers and

snowshoers during the winter. It would not have been possible without the co-operation of the Ash, Bergeson, Dudman, and McDiarmid families, who have graciously allowed the trail to cross their land. Th e trail is the fi rst of several trails that will link the various housing devel-opments in the Onanole area. In addition to the main trail, several options for spur trails have already been identifi ed, includ-ing a fl oating boardwalk crossing Octopus Creek with links to the Elkhorn Resort. Other near-future links are planned for resi-dents in the Minty Drive, Timothy Road, and South Bay areas. Th e trail was devel-oped through a volunteer committee of the R.M. of Park. Following sev-eral consultation meet-ings with the public, the route was mapped out during the fall and winter of 2010/11. Most of the

trail bed construction was completed by the fall of 2011, under the care of two local construction compa-nies Beatty Construction and True Grit Construc-tion. A fi nal top dressing of gravel is expected to be applied in early summer 2012. Th e members of the Recreational Trails Com-mittee include Ed Mazer as Chair, and commit-tee members Sean Frey, Dave Tovell, Ken Kingdon, Fred and Ann Stevenson, Mike Lodge, Chris Phil-lips, James Gordon (Rid-ing Mountain National Park representative), Vern Jordan (Councillor), Lau-riellen Rumball (Council-lor), and Walter Sichewski (Councillor). Any of the members would be happy to discuss other trail link-ing options.

Dear Reena, My daughter has a new dresser and she doesn’t like the smell of the draw-ers. Th ey are some type of a particle board and make her clothes smell. How can she get rid of this smell?

Norine

Hi Norine, Chemical off -gassing can take up to a year to dissipate. In the mean-time, wash drawers with Murphy’s Oil and water or tea tree oil and water. She can put bars of soap inside the drawers or line each drawer with scented shelf paper. Another option is to make a coff ee sock. Fill a

clean sock with fresh coff ee grounds and close the sock with an elastic band. Toss the sock inside the drawer to absorb odours. Or put fabric softener sheets into each drawer. If the smell remains, fi ll containers of vinegar and place them inside of the drawers to take the odour away. Each container should have a lid with air holes i.e. parme-san cheese shaker to allow the smell to fi ll the drawer.

Dear Reena, Th ere is nothing bet-ter than a hot dish topped with melted cheese! Whenever I make cheese sauce, it becomes stringy

and the cheese won’t incor-porate into the dish with-out making a clumpy mess. What am I doing wrong?

Sincerely, Kathleen

Dear Kathleen, As you incorporate the cheese, be sure to stir con-stantly and keep the stove temperature low (or off ) so that the cheese does not heat too quickly. A double boiler is a great helper for making smooth cheese sauces. A little hint, when-ever you make cheese sauce, add something acidic to your pot i.e. lem-on juice, vinegar or wine. Doing this will break up the molecules and pre-vent clumping. Here’s a recipe for making yummy cheese sauce. Into a pot (or dou-ble boiler), melt 2 tbsp. butter and stir in 2 tbsp. fl our to create a roux. After 1 or 2 minutes, the mixture will turn golden brown and bubble slightly. Stir in 1 cup 1% (or thicker) milk and 1 tbsp. lemon juice (vinegar or wine) and sim-mer for one minute. Here’s the trick: Remove the pot from the stove and add 1 cup shredded cheese, stir until melted. Pour over; broc-coli, caulifl ower, potatoes, French fries or nacho chips. Did you know? In the past, cheese was used as money, until the late

19th century some people paid their rent with cheese.It takes 10 litres of milk to make 1 kg. of cheese.

Dear Reena, I have one of your Household Solutions books but can’t fi nd my problem. I have a coff ee peculator and forgot to put the water in and plugged it in. I had put the coff ee in the tray and I noticed af-ter 5 minutes that it wasn’t perking and then realized the water was missing. I washed it with mild soap as I usually do plus vinegar. Today there is still a kind of burnt taste especially in the last half cup. Anything else I should do or will it go away eventually? Many

thanks, Cecilia

Dear Cecilia, Instead of washing the percolator with vin-egar, run vinegar through the coff ee maker (as if you were making a pot of cof-fee) to give the entire ma-chine a fabulous cleaning. Th e taste will soon be back to normal!

Hi Reena, My condo was painted 9 days ago. On the kitchen fl oor I noticed a whole bunch of pink stuff ; one would think the painter spilt pink cream soda all over the fl oor. I wiped it up, but when I asked the

painter what it was, he said the marks came from my brand new stove. Either the wheels were sprayed with a solution or the stove plug in is leaking. Last night I noticed a pink mark on the linoleum near my kitchen table. I tried to re-move it with Vim, but no such luck. Any other sug-gestions to try and remove this 9 day old mark? Please

advise, Shannon

Dear Shannon, I have never heard of an appliance leaking pink solution onto fl ooring. So I talked with an appliance repair person and he said that if you had a gas stove installed, the gas person would put a liquid onto the line to test if any gas is leaking from the pipes. Normally the liquid is something as simple as dish soap and water. Other than that, the appliance repair expert had never heard of a pink liquid leaking from a stove. And if the pink dripped from the wheels, wouldn’t there be a line of pink across your fl oor instead of drips? Scrub the fl oor with either Oxyclean or a bar of Sunlight laundry soap (just in case it is primer or paint).

Hi Reena, When the wind blows a certain way, my wood

stove stinks! I am not talk-ing about while I am us-ing it; I am speaking about months after we have stopped using it. Why does

it stink? Emily

Dear Emily, Like everything else in our homes, maintenance is required for greatest and safest results. Take some time to clean out your stove. Remove ashes and dispose of them into a metal container with a lid. Never place ashes in with your regular garbage. It is important to keep your wood stove free of creo-sote to prevent chimney fi res. Have your chimney cleaned at least twice a year.

Fabulous Tips of the Week

* Stop yourself from getting shocks as you walk across your carpet. Into a spray bottle add: one part liquid fabric softener and four parts water. Lightly mist the carpet. * Homemade Do Not Disturb Cream: Into a small glass jar combine, one quarter cup sesame or grape seed oil, one tsp. jojoba oil and one quarter cup Aloe Vera gel. Shake. Massage onto face, before bedtime being careful not to get any in your eyes. Keep refrigerated.

AG REPORTBy ELMER KASKIW

This year’s growing sea-son continues to swing

from warm and dry to cool and wet with many produc-ers hoping our next move to warm and dry happens soon. Last week saw fairly large pockets receive excess moisture which will cause all kinds of problems espe-cially in regards to weed and disease control in the case of winter wheat. Aerial ap-plication in many instances will be the only option as a return to warmer and drier temperatures will see weeds and crop staging jump in-crementally as daylight hours soon approach the longest days of the year.

Cutworm Update

Th is last week has seen a lot of questions regarding cutworm injury in canola and why the diff erence be-tween one fi eld and anoth-er. Much of this diff erence will date back to last fall in early to mid August when the adult moths emerge from the cacoon and search

out fi elds to lay their eggs. At this time the moths are attracted to fi elds with a source of nectar. Th is can be weeds which are in fl ower or perhaps a late seeded canola crop or even a fi eld where previously drowned out potholes have a late fl ush of canola. Th e moths then lay their eggs in these fi elds and in the case of the dingy cutworm the eggs hatch and larvae will over winter. In the case of the red back cutworm the eggs over winter and the larvae will hatch in the spring. Th is is why we normally see late May and early June damage from cutworms typically at-tributed to the dingy cut-worm and later early June to late June damage attributed to the red back cutworm. Th e dingy cutworm will be brownish grey with V mark-ings on their back. Th e red back will as the name im-plies have a reddish tinge to its markings. Under warm conditions where day time highs reach 25 degrees Cel-sius the life cycle of the cut-worm will typically run its course in 29-30 days how-ever under much cooler conditions where day time highs only approach 15 de-

grees Celsius their life cycle can take up to 65 days to be completed. Given our present cooler and wet-ter weather pattern we are likely somewhere in be-tween but certainly leaning towards a longer cycle of perhaps 40-45 days which would have started in early to mid May. Th e major concern for those who have had to re-seeded canola due to cut-worm injury is will they once again experience cut-worm injury and will the cutworm actually eat the canola prior to the canola emerging? Much of the recently reseeded canola will likely be emerging late this week and fi elds should once again be monitored closely. Th e dingy cutworm should soon begin to pu-pate and therefore no lon-ger be a threat to the seed-ling canola. Th e red back cutworm will likely still be a threat till at least the end of this month since they over winter as eggs and start their life cycle later in May. In regards to feeding prior to emergence of the canola there is really no research to indicate that this is a real threat. In virtually all cases

the crop being damaged will have emerged prior to any feeding occurring. In many of the reseeded fi elds where damage was virtu-ally corner to corner there was likely a combination of cutworm and fl ea beetle damage especially in the case of early seeded canola.

Winter Wheat Update

Th e cool, wet condi-tions have led to some ex-cessive winter wheat growth as the crop approaches the fl ag leaf and early heading stage of development. Th is excessive growth has led to a continually moist crop canopy which along with the alternating cool and warm temperatures has led to an ideal environment for both tanspot and powdery mildew development. Un-less the current weather trend changes dramatically to warm and dry growers are advised to choose a fungicide with both pow-dery mildew and fusarium control and to get the fungi-cide on at the earliest pos-sible fusarium timing so as to limit the movement of powdery mildew up the canopy.

In Memory of Kevin BeattyJune ,

We wear the pain like a heavy coat

We feel you everywhere we goWe see your smile,

we see your faceWe hear your laughing

in the rainWe still can’t believe

you’re goneIf tears could build a stairway

And memories a laneWe’d walk right up to heaven

And bring you home againIt isn’t fair you died too young

Like a story that has just begun

But death tore the pages all away

God knows how very much we miss you

Th e only thing that gives us hope

Is we know we will see you again some day

Love,Mom and Dad

Devin and DebbieRyan, Jen, Myles, and Collin

In Memory ofKevin BeattyJune ,

Little did we know that dayGod was going to call

your name.In life we loved you dearly,In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,Th e day God called you home.You left us peaceful memories,

Your love is still our guide.And though we cannot

see you,You are always by our side.Our family chain is broken

And nothing seems the same.But as God calls us

One by one,Th e chain will link again.

A more responsive, streamlined regional

health authority (RHA) system continues to take shape with the appointment of Penny Gilson as the chief executive offi cer for Manitoba’s new Western Regional Health Authority. Gilson previously served as CEO with the Assiniboine authority. Th e other chief executive offi cers are:• Helga Bryant, Northern RHA – the former NOR-

MAN and Burntwood RHAs• Kathy McPhail, Southern RHA – the former RHA-Central Manitoba and South Eastman Health Authority.• John Stinson, Interlake-Eastern RHA – the former Interlake RHA and North Eastman Health Authority• Arlene Wilgosh continues as CEO of Winnipeg RHA, which has assumed responsibilities for Churchill Health. Th e new Western RHA was

created from the merger of the former Assiniboine, Brandon and Parklands health authorities as part of a provincial plan to reduce the number of RHAs in Manitoba from 11 to fi ve. Manitoba Health anticipates a reduction of 30-35 corporate RHA positions across the province through the mergers, with these administrative savings redirected into supporting front line care.
