Over 900 people attend-ed the 14th annual

Little Valley Jamboree at the Erickson Fairgrounds June 18th and 19th. Each year, funds raised from the community event go to benefi t two children in need. Th is year’s recipi-ents are Porter Dunn and Adam Wiebe. Seven-year-old Porter Dunn lives in Brandon. On June 2nd, 2010 Porter was diagnosed with Ju-venile Diabetes. Juvenile

Diabetes is an autoim-mune disease that aff ects the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, Porter’s body can-not absorb sugar from his blood which would pro-duce energy and if the sug-ar stays in the blood it be-comes thick. High blood sugar results in lack of concentration, moodiness, fatigue and increases the risk of diabetic complica-tions such as going blind, heart disease and leg/foot amputation due to infec-tion. Porter is injected

with four to fi ve needles of insulin every day and he has to poke his fi ngers to test his blood sugar four to six times a day. He has to eat at the same time each day and his carbohydrates are strictly monitored. Porter’s family wants to purchase an insulin pump. Th is would mean he gets three needles each week instead of 30+ and his in-sulin would automatically run through the pump like an IV line. An insulin pump would also allow Porter to eat whenever he

wants, go on sleepovers again and even sleep-in. Porter says he is very ex-cited about the prospect of getting a pump but is kind of nervous about what his new regimen would be like. Adam Wiebe is also seven-years-old and lives in Brandon. At one-year- old, Adam was tested for, and diagnosed with, Cys-

tic Fibrosis (CF). CF is a hereditary condition that aff ects the lungs and di-gestive system. Th e mucus in Adam’s lungs and diges-tive tract are very thick and as a result he has diffi culty breathing and digesting food.

Celebrations took place at Tanner’s Crossing

School on Wednesday, June 15th to commemo-rate the local elementary school’s 40th anniversary. Staff and students, past and present, enjoyed the celebrations. On June 12th, 1971 TCS opened its doors for the fi rst time to staff and students. Teachers and students left the South School (located where Townview Manor current-ly sits) and walked through town, over the bridge to their brand new school. Offi cially, all the students were not placed in the new school until the following fall. Hilda Comrie was a Grade One teacher at the time of the opening. She recalls the day so clearly,

just like it was yesterday. “Th ree teachers, Ruth Ped-ersen, Sheila MacDonald and myself purchased a brown shopping bag for each child to put their personal belongings into,” said Hilda. “We then lined up outside, and walked the children in fi le down Main Street, crossed between what is now the Corner-stone Grill and the Royal Bank, across the little foot bridge, through the yard at the school and entered the brand new empty school. We found ourselves in what was called the grade one pod.” When it opened, TCS was an open concept de-sign, which was a new ex-perience for teachers and students. Th e pod area was set up for four classes combined together. It took almost a year to get the school into a comfortable

working position. “At the time it was very new to us to teach in an open area classroom, but we all worked together and enjoyed it,” said former teacher, Connie Alexander. “I remember trudging down Main Street with all the students,” said former teacher, Donna Shorrock. “It was so exciting to be fi -nally spending our fi rst day in our new school.” Enid Lochhead did not have a class to bring down on the day of the changeover, but did meet the superintendant there and he gave her a tour of the school. Longtime local teach-er, Marc Chisholm, had other commitments and was disappointed he could not be in attendance at the 40th anniversary celebra-tion. Marc was Vice Princi-pal at TCS for 26 years and remembers fondly plan-ning the move of 825 stu-dents to their new school in June 1971. It was a lot of work, but very rewarding, “We moved the students in stages, moving the young-

er grades fi rst,” said Marc. A numer of current TCS staff members and former principals also spoke at Tuesday’s cele-bration. Longtime TCS Phys. Ed. instructor, Mrs. Jackie Nylen spoke about how

proud she was to be part of the team for the past num-ber of years, with a lot of great memories. Current MCI Princi-pal, Martin Ingenmey, is one of TCS’s former princi-pals. He shared one of his greatest memories when in 2006, he and Glen McNabb spent a night in a quinzee (hut made of snow) that they built at TCS. TCS Vice Principal, Matt Rapsky, recalled great memories of many diff er-ent fundraising event he has been involved with at TCS including when he and Mr. McNabb had their heads shaved, much to the delight and chanting of the students. “I remember Glen and I being called to the school division offi ce,” Matt said. “I’m not sure if they were as happy as the students were about our

new haircuts.” Former Pr incipal, Glen McNabb, was also in at-tendance at the celebra-tion was very happy to see some of the teachers who taught him when he was a student at TCS. He also spoke about fond memo-ries of his years of being principal at the school. In addition to speech-es, the festivities also in-cluded music as well as a dance for the students. Current TCS Principal, James Sheppard, invited everyone to enjoy refresh-ments and cake. Eight birthday cakes were do-nated by Heritage Co-op for the anniversary cel-ebration.

I must state early in this piece that the comments I am about to make are not directed at or a refl ection of

our local Canada Post staff . Since becoming Publish-er of Th e Minnedosa Tribune , I have been extremely pleased with the service we have received from the Postmistress and staff at Minnedosa Post Offi ce. Th is can also be said for the postal outlets in nearby com-munities that we deal with on a weekly basis. Sadly, I cannot say the same for Canada Post as a whole. I know a number of other community news-paper publishers who share my anger and frustration regarding the treatment our publications receive from Canada Post, especially when it comes to delivery ser-vice. We continue to receive numerous complaints on a regular basis from our out-of-town subscribers re-garding the slow delivery of Th e Minnedosa Tribune . I continue to assure our faithful subscribers that every labelled copy of Th e Tribune leaves our offi ce each Fri-day before 12 noon. At that time, it is delivered into the Canada Post system and that is unfortunately when we no longer have any control over how long it takes our

paper to reach our subscribers. Many of you who live outside of our immediate readership area have told us you have experienced de-livery delays of two weeks up to over a month and that is absolutely unacceptable as far as I am concerned. Th ere should be no reason a huge corporation like Canada Post cannot deliver a newspaper in a much timelier manner. With today’s transportation, it should take only days to reach any location in the world, not weeks or months. You, as a subscriber, have paid to re-ceive your copy of our publication on a regular basis and you deserve to receive it in a timely fashion. Due to the current state of Canada Post, I cannot guarantee better delivery service of our newspaper, I wish I could. When we switched publication days from Monday to Friday, we also ran into delivery delays to our near-by communities. We quickly learned that readers in communities within a 15 to 30 minute commute from Minnedosa were not receiving Th e Minnedosa Tribune until Tuesday of the following week or in some cases, even later. Understandably, these readers were ex-tremely frustrated and we began losing subscribers. To resolve this problem, I have been hitting the pavement every Friday morning after our Minnedosa papers are

delivered to drop off copies of that day’s edition to the nearby communities of Clanwilliam, Erickson, Onanole, Sandy Lake, Newdale, Rapid City, Franklin and Neepa-wa. At least our readers in those communities can re-ceive their paper each Friday. I wish I could personally deliver Th e Tribune to more of our readers each week, but time and cost do not allow it. For the remainder of subscribers, we must rely on Canada Post to get our pa-per to you the best they can, and often it seems that ser-vice is far from being even close to “the best”. It was because of the poor delivery through Cana-da Post that I re-instated our online subscription ser-vice early last year. If you are frustrated with the slow delivery of your paper copy of Th e Tribune, and have access to the internet, I urge you to consider switching to an online subscription. Unless we are experiencing a computer problem on our end, the online edition is viewable on our website from anywhere in the world each Friday morning. Th roughout this current disrup-tion of postal service due to the strike, our online edi-tion is viewable to all at no cost at www.minnedosatribune.com Hopefully, once this strike is over we will all benefi t from improved postal delivery service, but sadly, I have my doubts.

Canada Post frustration builds

Pic of the week...Around town...MREC MEETING... If you have questions about the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre project a public meeting is be-ing held Wednesday, June 29th at 7 p.m. at Minnedosa Conference Centre. At this meeting, information on the project including cost, fi nancing and recent devel-opments will be discussed. Th ere will also be a public question and answer period. If you have questions be sure to attend.

POSTAL STRIKE... As we go to press, the latest on the Canada Post strike is that the CUPW and Canada Post have not been able to reach an agreement. Talks between the two have now broken off . Rural postal outlets contin-ue to be instructed not to accept any new mail. From a newspaper’s standpoint, our national association, Newspapers Canada, had asked Canada Post for spe-cial consideration for local delivery of newspapers, but Canada Post refused.Th e only mail being delivered is social assistance and pension cheques.

Letters to the Editor

COPS CORNERBy CPL. BRIAN HUFF

Minnedosa had a busy stretch with 27 inci-

dents reported last week. A couple of Grad students were celebrating early I guess when they were ob-served to be drinking in the grand-stands at the Fair Grounds on the 17th. We met them at the en-trance and dampened the celebration with a $200 li-quor ticket. Th e driver also got a lesson on how close he came to an Impaired Driving charge when he blew just under the limit. Ironically, they were also late for a Science test in the process. A thoughtful person called police when he came across a suspicious vehicle and a quad on the side of the highway. Af-ter stopping to see if the folks needed a hand, he was told to “mind his own business.” Turns out he was bang on and the quad

and truck had both been reported stolen. Police caught up with the ve-hicle which fl ed the scene but had to call off the pur-suit due to hazardous conditions. We did how-ever recover the quad. Th e truck was recovered East of our area the following day. It’s these “suspicious” calls that make the diff erence and had this person not called police, we may have never recovered the quad. Yet another con-cerned person reported a possible Impaired Driver on the 18th in the camp-ground. Offi cers made a patrol and located the suspect vehicle on 6th Av-enue in Minnedosa shortly thereafter. After determin-ing that the 46-year-old driver from Ste. Rose had been drinking, he was ar-rested for Impaired Driv-ing and subsequently blew over the legal limit at the

Detachment. Once the results were in, the fellow became very belligerent and abusive. Now I don’t know about you but if I was at the Police Station... being abusive towards the Offi cers would be the very last thing on my mind. Needless to say, he spent the night in the Queen’s Hotel (and I don’t mean Rapid City) and received yet another charge when Offi cers learned he was also on conditions to ab-stain from drinking alco-hol. An interesting inci-dent on the 19th had Offi -cers scratching their heads

for a bit. A number of calls came in regarding a dan-gerous driver on Highway #10. All of the calls have the same suspect vehicle description and are con-sistent with an Impaired Driver. Slow speeds, weav-ing in and out of traffi c, forcing oncoming vehicles to veer off the road...cer-tainly has the “earmarks” of someone who needs to be stopped. Sure enough, Offi cers come across the vehicle and observe simi-lar driving behavior to what was reported. Th ey stopped the person and af-ter investigating, arrest for Impaired Driving. Here’s

where things go weird. Th e 29-year-old male from Brandon blows zero. Nada...zip...not an ounce of liquor in his system. Af-ter investigating further, it turns out that he had been “partying” earlier but had not had much sleep in a long time. Th e dangerous driving was a result of him being tired. Instead of an Impaired Driving charge, he’ll have to answer for Careless Driving instead. Yet another call from a concerned citizen tonight (Tuesday) when they ob-served two vehicles pull up to the fountain on Main Street in Minnedosa and start racing side by side with each other. Obvi-ously highly dangerous and incredibly lacking in judgement, these two driv-ers continue north at high speed but not before a de-scription is obtained. In very little time, a vehicle

and driver well-known to police is apprehended for Street Racing. Under Provincial legislation, the vehicle is seized and the driver is charged which forces him/her to appear in court rather than receive a regular “fi ne”. Th e other culprit has also been iden-tifi ed and we’ll be talking to him very soon. When you gotta go...Offi cer’s pulled over a car on #16 Highway travel-ling 135 Kph at 9 a.m. on the 18th. Th e 34-year-old male with a young child in the rear seat explained to Offi cers that he was speed-ing because he had to “go to the bathroom”. After ex-plaining that a “bathroom” was not a necessity for car-rying out his business and not a worthy excuse, he was handed a $500 ticket and the title of “Speeder of the Week”. Have a Safe Week.

Unfortunately it has been a very wet spring.

It is disheartening to hear the stories of damage to homes, properties, busi-nesses and farms all over the province and in the Minnedosa Constituency. River and lake levels remain high in many re-gions, and tens of thou-sands of acres of agricul-tural land are underwater. Hundreds of homes and critical pieces of infra-structure like water and wastewater treatment plants are still protected by temporary dikes, or are in the process of being pro-tected. Manitoba’s Progres-sive Conservatives are

holding the provincial NDP government to ac-count for their response to and management of the fl ood. In the Legislature, we have raised dozens of questions on matters such as: the accuracy of the province’s fl ood forecast; challenges related to fl ood preparedness; the delivery of fair and timely compen-sation; and the pressing need for long-term fl ood mitigation strategies. Due to the fl ood-ing and excess moisture conditions, agriculture producers have found it very diffi cult to get their crops seeded. Th ousands of head of livestock have been evacuated from some

regions. Ranchers are al-ready deeply concerned about the availability of feed for the coming fall and winter. When the agri-culture sector is adversely aff ected by fl ooding, the eff ects are felt throughout the provincial economy. We have repeatedly asked the NDP government what their strategy is to deal with these serious chal-

lenges facing the crop and livestock sectors. Timely program announcements are needed so producers can prepare accordingly. I have also heard from horticultural producers such as strawberry farms and nursery farms aff ect-ed by fl ooding who have questions about whether they will be eligible for crop insurance or other

disaster assistance. Mean-while, many municipalities and towns are facing infra-structure issues such as taxed wastewater systems, compromised lagoons, and dam challenges like those seen at Minnedosa and Wawanesa. Th ese mat-ters need swift provincial government attention and municipalities are looking for answers. I want to recognize the tremendous amount of work that local govern-ments, the Canadian mili-tary, Hutterite colonies, agencies like the Red Cross and others, as well as the countless hours volunteers have undertaken during this lengthy fl ood event. Your eff orts are truly ap-preciated. Pulling together to help our friends, family and neighbours through the fl ood fi ght shows the true Manitoban spirit

throughout rural Mani-toba and in the Minnedosa Constituency.

As the mucus is thick, bacteria can live and breed in his lungs, which can cause serious infections. Due to the trouble with food digestion, Adam was losing all the nutrients he was fed and the de-velopmental delays were becoming more notice-able. Several years later, Adam’s CF is now under control with medication and therapy. His daily regimen includes using a

puff er to open his airways, taking an inhaled medica-tion that thins the mucus in his lungs, and having chest pummelling to help loosen the mucus in his lungs so he can cough it up and breathe easier. Th ese steps can take up to an hour a day, twice a day if he has a cold. Adam has to take anywhere between 20-30 pills a day when he eats to help him digest the fats and nutrients. Lately, he has been administering some of his medications

himself and learning to recognize potential warn-ing signs in his health. His family hopes to purchase a percussion vest so when he is older Adam can do his own physiotherapy and have more independence and freedom. Th is year’s Jamboree bands and artists included the Cookshack Shakers, Swamp Gas of Neepawa, George Anderson and Ray Krupa, Scott Corne-lius, Michael Campbell of Kinisota, Lori Larsen

of Erickson, May Vann of Alberta, the Chris Barker Band from Dauphin, El-vis (aka Dave Green of Moosehorn, MB), Geoff rey Gilmer, Cooked and Done, the White Lightning Band from Kinosota, Ronnie Anderson, and DagNab-bit of Minnedosa. Other activities that were hosted during the jamboree were a Sunday morning break-fast courtesy of the Erick-son Flying Club, rainbow and silent auctions, 50-50 raffl es, Th e Hodgson Fam-

ily Miniature Horses, the Money Mountain, and face painting. While attendance was down slightly this year, per-haps due to the wet weath-er, those in attendance had a great time dancing and singing along to the music. Stated co-organizer Evelyn Lewandoski, “We were very happy to see the sun-shine on Saturday. Sunday it was a little wet but every-one persevered and had a great time. Th ere were even people dancing in the

rain.” Kids especially en-joyed the Money Moun-tain, a sand pit that was donated by Riding Moun-tain National Park in which coins and tokens were hid-den. Children who found tokens could then turn them in for prizes. A fi nal tally was not available at presstime Wednesday and donations will be made to each child at a future point in time.

$1,598 made at Walk for Alzheimer’sBy AMANDA BOYD

The annual Memory Walk for the Alzheimer

Society of Manitoba was held at the Minnedosa Personal Care Home last Th ursday, June 16th. Resi-dents walked along with TCS students in Grades 5 and 6 and Frontier cli-ents. Participants collected pledges and raised a total of $1,598. Working in a personal care home, Activity Direc-tor, Barb Hales, knows the impact Alzheimer’s can have on an individual and their family. “We are fi nd-ing more and more of our clients are dealing with Alzheimer’s disease,” she said. “It’s very hard on

them and on their families; so the Memory Walk is just our way to contribute by making people aware of the disease and raise mon-ey to help fi nd a cure.” Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degen-erative disease. Several changes occur in the brains of people with Al-zheimer’s disease. Th e brain cells shrink or disap-pear, and are replaced by dense, irregularly-shaped spots, or plaques. Another indicator of the disease is thread-like tangles within existing brain cells. Th ese tangles eventually choke healthy brain cells. A per-son with Alzheimer’s dis-ease has less brain tissue than a person who does

not have the disease. Th is shrinkage will continue over time, aff ecting how the brain functions. As Alzheimer’s disease aff ects each area of the brain, certain functions or abilities are lost. Th is re-sults in specifi c symptoms or changes in behaviour. It is important to remem-ber that once someone loses an ability due to Al-zheimer’s it rarely ever comes back. Although the disease results in changes, it does not aff ect the per-son’s ability to appreciate, respond to, and experi-ence feelings such as joy, anger, fear, love or sadness. While it is not possible to restore function to brain cells damaged by Alzheim-

er’s disease, there are treat-ments and strategies that can help both the person with the disease and the caregiver. Around the world, the scientifi c community is devoting substantial eff ort and funding to Alzheimer’s disease research. Research-ers are looking for ways

of preventing the disease, treatments to improve quality of life for people living with the disease and ultimately fi nding a cure to eradicate the disease. Great strides have been made in early diagnosis, which results in immediate treatment that helps delay the onset of the disease.

Minnedosa Town Council met for its

regular June meeting on the evening of Tuesday, June 14th in Council Chambers. Mayor Orr presided with all councillors in attendance. Th e meeting opened with a public hearing to deal with a zoning amend-ment applied for by Rick Nylen to rezone a lot from residential single family to residential mutli-family. As there were no objections to this request, Council ap-proved the amendment. A second amendment was applied for to rezone an area in the southeast cor-ner of town from Agricul-ture Limited to Residential. As there are currently a few residential homes located in this area, the reason it was ever designated for agriculture is unclear. Th is zoning amendment was also approved by Council. Two delegations ap-peared before Council. Th e fi rst was Bob Manns on behalf of the Minnedosa Rotary Club. Bob brought an update on the Rotary’s billboard sign project. Th e club had originally hoped to locate the sign on the corner of Main Street and 2nd Avenue N.W. (in front of Minnedosa Community Conference Centre), but following discussions with the hall board, that option has been abandoned. Th e Rotary Club is now look-ing at placing the sign on the east side of Main Street between the CP track and Main Street Bridge (Where the Minnedosa Collegiate billboard sign used to be). To stabilize the sign from the wind in this location, the base will have to be drilled approximately eight feet in the ground and as this area along the river is quite rocky, the cost to do this could be fairly substan-tial. A second delegation to appear before council included Lori Harrison and Katherine Kingdon of the Minnedosa Perform-ing Arts Committee. Th e ladies were there to ask for Council’s permission to form a committee to work towards improving the acoustics of the main hall at the Minnedosa Com-munity Conference Cen-tre. Th is committee would hopefully include repre-

sentatives of organizations who use MCCC for events and understand the sound problems the facility cur-rently has. If this commit-tee is established it will hire a professional to measure and formulate the acous-tical needs of MCCC. Th e cost of this project is not yet known but it is felt this is a valuable undertaking that will benefi t MCCC and its many users. Councillor Taylor informed the dele-gation that acoustic baffl es were included in the origi-nal plans for MCCC, but

were cut out due to cost. Some investigation will be done to see if these original plans can be located or the buildings designer can be contacted to assist with this project. During the resolution portion of the meeting, due to confl ict of interest, Councillor Saler excused himself from the meeting during the resolution to deal with a gravel supply tender. Whereas the quote from Clint Moff at and Sons was the only one received for the supply of 2,000 cu-

bic yards of crushed road gravel at a cost of $9.95 per cubic yard and 600 cu-bic yards of A-base gravel at $11.95 per cubic yard, Council approved both quotes. An earlier request from Yellowhead Skills and Services for fi nancial support totalling $3,800 for fi ve weeks of facilita-tor training for a Youth at Work program being host-ed this fall was discussed. Whereas a number of other councils and organizations have been approached for

funding as well, Council approved $1,000 as a one-time payment for this proj-ect. Council approved the sale of a lot to Adam Wood-cock at the cost of $1.00. Th e lot is adjacent to Mr. Woodcock’s property and is currently being maintained by him. It does not meet the provisions of the town to be developed for a residence. A lot in the new mo-bile home designated area in the northwest corner of town was sold to Marion Memryk at a cost of $5,000.

Th is is the second last mo-bile home lot available for development. A lot on 1st Street S.E. was approved for sale to Leonard and Monica Curle at a cost of $7,500 subject to a development agreement being entered into between the Curle’s and the Town. Th is lot is located directly south of the Curle’s current property.

Phase One of a com-prehensive water and

sewer project began in the RM of Park May 3rd and as of May 31st, was reported to be 27% complete. Th e work is being done by Fan-set Construction Company

Ltd. of Winnipeg and in-cludes the laying down of core infrastructure that will connect Onanole with the Wasagaming Water Treatment Plant in Riding Mountain National Park. A main water line and grav-ity fl ow main sewer line will run from the north-

ern boundary of the RM, along Highway #10, south to the central core area of Onanole, in and around the junction of Highway #10 and Provincial Road #262. As well, a sewage force main to the exist-ing municipal wastewater treatment lagoon west of

Onanole will be construct-ed. Currently, Onanole residents are getting their water from private wells. Th e pump house and reservoir had to be cut from this year’s budget be-cause the tender came in higher than estimated and the RM didn’t have enough available funds. Th e RM is hoping to get funding for these items next year. As far as transporta-tion on Highway #10 goes, there should be no road

closures, but traffi c may be restricted to one lane at times. Th e construction ar-eas are clearly marked and fl ag workers are on-hand to direct traffi c. Construc-tion is scheduled to last until the end of summer. Th e RM asks that motorists remain patient and aware of workers on the highway while construction contin-ues. Crews have not started on the forced main to the lagoon yet. By today (Fri-

day, June 24th) they ex-pect to fi nish the southern portion of the phase. Next week crews will most likely begin working north of the lift station. Initial costs of Phase One were estimated to be approximately $2,000/lot; about $3.7 million in total. Th e entire water and sewer project, which encompass-es roughly seven phases, is estimated to cost around $17 million.

The original courtyard at Tanner’s Crossing

School has been in need of some TLC for several years. Now, thanks to a $2,000 grant from the Minnedosa Foundation, work has be-gun to revive the space. One of the most urgent areas of care was the state of the trees in the courtyard. Several of the trees, which are as old as the courtyard itself, were in need of a trim. Greg Marchischuk took an evening to come to the school where he cleaned up the bottoms of the living trees, letting the canopies continue to grow, while removing a tree that had died. “It was quite

a project.” said Kim Bur-gess, “To remove the lum-ber from the courtyard. Th ey had to chop all the wood into small enough pieces so they could get them through the door and down the hallway.” Th e Life Skills students at TCS have partnered with Mr. Gordon to assemble several new benches and picnic tables for the court-yard and Clint Moff at & Sons have donated fresh dirt to replace the old soil in the planters. Also planned for a wall in the courtyard is a mural or art piece of some sort. Burgess says staff are searching for an artist who would be willing to come and work with TCS stu-

dents on a joint project for the wall. A portion of the grant money has been set aside for this purpose.

The Manitoba economy, guided by the Selinger

team, faired better than many provincial econo-mies during the recent economic downturn. One reason that Manitoba’s economy is less subject to the severe ups and downs that some other provin-cial economies suff er is that Manitoba’s economy is quite diversifi ed. Mani-toba’s NDP Government understands the advan-tages of such a diversifi ed economy and continues to promote and assist vari-ous industries to expand to create jobs and wealth in the province. Recently the Selinger Government announced it is doubling the provincial investment in Manitoba’s fi lm and television indus-try by adding a $250,000 investment to the Feature Film Production Fund and the Television and Web-based Production Fund. Th e increased funding will enable Manitoba to attract more productions to the province, boosting both employment and spending in the province. In 2009-2010, over $75,000,000 of television and fi lm pro-duction took place in Manitoba in an industry that employs over 1000 people. Attracting another couple of productions to the province could boost that spending by as much as $3.5 million dollars. Th e president of Fran-tic Films, one of Mani-toba’s leading production companies, welcomed the increased funding for the industry, as did other industry heavyweights. Some of the productions shot in Manitoba during

the past year have includ-ed “We Were Children”, “Skeptics”, “Men with Brooms”, and “Less Th an Kind”. Manitoba has a solid labour pool for the televi-sion and fi lm industry be-cause programs have been developed at Manitoba’s post-secondary institu-tions to meet the needs of the industry, thus ensur-ing that when a production is lured to the province, skilled workers are avail-able to meet the demand. Reducing corporate taxes is the right-wing mantra of the Tories and they constantly harp on the need to reduce corpo-rate taxes. Developing and growing a vibrant and di-verse provincial economy, such as Manitoba’s NDP Government has done over the past decade, re-quires deliberate and tar-geted initiatives. Sweeping reductions in corporate tax levels might benefi t large wealthy corporations, but do little to foster employ-ment and growth in spe-cifi c industries. Premier Selinger was quoted as saying, “Th e government’s commitment to industry development, training and fi nancial incentives is a re-fl ection of the vital role arts and culture play in Mani-toba’s diverse and growing economy”. Th e Selinger Govern-ment will continue to en-sure that Manitoba’s econ-omy remains strong and diversifi ed, and that those industries that will benefi t from some moderate gov-ernment assistance will get it so that jobs and wealth continue to be created in our province, and that is “the other point of view”.

In honour of Elder Abuse Awareness Day

(Wednesday, June 15th) Onanole Elementary school

hosted Purple Explosion Day. All of the students wore purple, the colour of Elder Abuse Awareness, and seniors from the sur-rounding community were

invited to come to the school and share with stu-dents their knowledge on a wealth of topics. Activities were sched-uled throughout the school for the entire day, during which the 64 students ro-tated through fi ve diff er-ent stations. Children and

seniors worked together on a variety of projects, from pie making, churn-ing homemade ice cream, knitting, crocheting, card games, and calligraphy. In the library, students were regaled with entertaining stories from when the se-niors were young. “Th ey’ve all been hav-ing a blast,” remarked Onanole School Principal, Laurie Bachewich on the day. “Th is is a great way to interact with each other, create relationships and get past any stereotypes.” Th e school’s theme this year is ‘Honouring Our Elders’ and Wednesday’s student-lead program was a wonderful way to wrap up a year of sharing and learning. Th e seniors in our communities have many skills and a great deal of insight they are willing to share with us if we are willing to learn and the students and staff at Onanole Elementary School have started an ex-cellent course of interac-tion that they hope will carry on.

A large crowd gathered in the lounge of Har-

rison House on Friday, June 17th for an “unwrap” wedding shower honour-ing Tara Wight, daughter of Jean and Wendall Wight. Tara and her Mother, Jean welcomed all the guests as they arrived. Brianna McDonald gave the ad-dress, recalling many fond school day memories. A short Trivia Quiz was con-ducted about Tara’s life and times, by Krista Mof-fatt, that everyone enjoyed. Tara’s grandmothers, Edith Waddell, Jean’s mother and Wendell’s mother, Maisie Wight were both in atten-dance. Her aunts, Marjorie (Waddell) Patience and daughter Tamsen of Th e Pas and Audrey Waddell at-tended. Aunts Wanda, Syl-via and Melanie, Wendell’s sisters and neice Tammy were also in attendance. Tara thanked everyone for coming and the many gifts she received. Lunch and a social time brought the eve-ning to a close. Best wishes from the community to

Tara and Chris for a long and happy future! Saturday, June 18th saw a nice crowd attend the wedding shower held for Kendra Tolton in the community hall. Kendra is the daughter of Lynne and Garry Tolton. Karen Dalgarno welcomed every-one and presented Kendra with some “long distance reminiscing” from Kim Baker in Alberta, via laptop computer. Kendra had her Mother Lynne, Grandma Phyllis and bridesmaids, Misti Big Eagle of Oxbow, SK and Corley (Kent)Tolton of Winnipeg at the guest table with her. Th e many lovely and varied gifts were opened and sent around for viewing. Kendra very ably thanked everyone for com-ing and all the beautiful gifts received. Her Aunts, Lorraine Sleep and Gail Tolton, along with cous-ins Joanna Tolton, Nicole Wang and Haley all of Bran-don, and Deanne Lawn and Chelsea of Hamiota were there. Congratulations to Kendra and Kevin for many years of happiness as they make their new home in Somerset, MB.

Th e ladies of Mosaic Fashions were in town June 16th at the community hall. As they were on their return to Winnipeg, they didn’t have enough stock left to feature the Fashion Show, but the sale prices on every-thing made for a nice day of shopping without leaving Newdale! Newdale’s sale date was cancelled on May 1st because of the “Bliz-zard”! Mosaic will be re-turning in September with many brand new fall fash-ions, so mark your calendar now. Linda Birch of Minnedosa spent Satur-day afternoon visiting with Shirley Pederson. Congratulations to all the “dads” for Fathers Day last Sunday. Hope you were all treated to an out-ing. Several from Newdale enjoyed the “pickerel fry” at the Shoal Lake Complex for Fathers Day. As we move into “sum-mer” and the rain’s fi nally stop, beware of all the mos-quitoes and ticks in the long grass, as several cases of Lyme disease have al-ready been reported.

MARJORIE ANN DEWARMARCH 3, 1916FEBRUARY 2, 2011

 Peacefully, Marjorie Ann Dewar passed away on Feb 2, 2011 in Winnipeg at the Tuxedo Villa Personal Care Home at age 94 years. Marjorie was pre-deceased by her

parents Caroline and Athol Dewar and two brothers  William and Stewart of Basswood

Manitoba. She is survived by her two sisters Edith Stone of Surrey, B.C. and Ruby Mackay of Oakville, Ontario; nieces Connie, Laurie and Sharon Mackay and nephews Raymond, Stewart and Kenneth Stone as well as 5 great-nephews and 5 great-nieces.    Marjorie grew up on the family farm in Basswood, Manitoba which gave her a life-long farm girl’s work ethic, a sense of humility, humour and dedication to family and community. She left the farm in 1938 to attend Normal School in Brandon, Manitoba and from there she pursued a long career in teaching that took her to a variety of locations in Manitoba that included Westmount (near Erickson), Miami, Starbuck, Elm Creek and Winnipeg . Along the way she attained her BA in education and in 1978 she  retired from the Seven Oaks School Division. She was an avid curler and in 1998, she was honoured by receiving the Bill Lumsden Memorial award for her lifetime commitment to curling. She lawn bowled and curled right up until she was 85 years of age when health required her to retire from these activities. Marjorie was a member of the United Church at each teaching post and active with the Retired Teachers, Rebekah Lodge and Friendship Clubs in Winnipeg.    Marjorie will best be remembered by her family for her commitment to them. She took on the responsibilities of the farm household and her family at an early age and continued that commitment to her father, brothers and sisters throughout her life. She relished life, travelled extensively and met each day as an adventure to be embraced. She had a sharp wit honed from years in the classroom and rarely did a student, nephew or niece get the better of her. She was happiest though, spending time at the  family farm in Basswood picking berries with friends and neighbours in the Basswood area. Th e family would like to thank the staff at Tuxedo Villa Personal Care home for their care of Marjorie over the past 8 years and the many friends who continued to remember and visit her.  A memorial service will be held for Marjorie in Winnipeg, June 24, 2011 at 2:00 PM at Th ompson Funeral Home, 669 Broadway, Winnipeg with internment at 2:00 PM Saturday, June 25th in Basswood followed by a reception at the Basswood Community Centre.

MARION ALLAN

It is with great sadness that the family of Marion Allan announces her passing on June 13, 2011 at the age of 80 years; after a long battle with breast and then lung cancer. She was born on August 21, 1930, at the family home in McCreary, the

fourth child of Mary and James Zalizniak. Mary attended school at McCreary School and

Collegiate. In 1949, she met Lane Allan of Norgate and they married on May 8, 1950. Th ey were blessed with fi ve children: Pamela, Paula, Donna, Gordon and Kimberly. Lane and Marion lived in Winnipeg until 1952, when Lane joined the RCAF and took his training in Trenton, Ontario. From there they were posted to Winnipeg, McDonald, Portage la Prairie and Bagotierille, Quebec. In June 1967, Lane retired from the RCAF and they moved to Onanole, Manitoba. Th ere they fi nished raising their fi ve children. Marion also worked as a waitress in Clear Lake. In her retirement years, she canvassed for the Cancer Society and donated to various charities. She loved her garden, mowing the large lawn around her house and feeding the many birds and other critters (like deer, foxes and squirrels) that came around. All her life she enjoyed playing Bingo, especially with her daughter Donna and grandson Jordan Epp from Brandon. She liked to travel and would regularly come out to Alberta and Saskatchewan to see her three daughters, Pam, Paula, and Kim and their families. For shorter trips she would head out to McCreary to see her son Gordon and his family. She also was a spiritual person and went to church regularly. Marion will be remembered by her family as a very devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Her life wasn’t easy but she lived it with strength of character and courage. Her words were straight forward and to the point when something was on her mind. She was durable and enduring and her life’s story is about love, determination, courage and commitment to her family. Marion will be lovingly remembered by her children: Pamela (Keith) Worth, Paula (Calvin) McLaughlin, Donna (Wayne) Epp, Gordon (Bernie) Allan, Kimberly (Randy) Hopkins; and her grandchildren: Landon (Midori) Worth, Donovan (Crystal) Worth, Keith (Lila) McLaughlin, Penny (Rich) Balsiger, Jamie (Adam) McLaughlin, Dwayne (Susie) Epp, Jordan Epp, Nichole Allan, Laura (Troy) Allan, Kayla Allan, Kody Woloshen and Lane Woloshen; 11 great grandchildren; her sister Polly (Dan) Code, sister-in-law Mildred Allan and numerous nieces and nephews. Marion was predeceased by her mother in 1973, her father in 1978, her brother Pete in 1971, her husband lane in 1988, her brother Paul in 2002, and her sister Anne in 2002. Funeral services will be held at the Lutheran United Church in Erickson with Elgin Hall offi ciating. Marion’s fi nal resting place will be next to her husband Lane at Danvers Cemetery. Memorial donations to the Cancer Society are gratefully accepted. Minnedosa Funeral Service, Minnedosa, Manitoba in care of arrangements. 1-204-867-3868
