Over the past fi ve years (2011 to 2015) the

Tanner’s Crossing Plan-ning District has issued 403 building permits with a total value of just over $24 million within the Town of Minnedosa and RM of Min-to-Odanah.

During that time frame, there were a total of 92 New Dwelling Build-ing Permits taken out. Of those 56 were within the Town of Minnedosa and 36 in Minto-Odanah. Th e total value of construction was $15,581,825. Of that, $9.9 million was spent within Minnedosa and $5.6 mil-

lion in Minto-Odanah. When it comes to the number of “new dwellings” this can be broken down into a number of categories as well. For 2011, Minnedo-sa saw four new homes, one modular home, two mobile homes and eight residential units classi-fi ed as duplex or four-plex

(multi-family). Th at same year, the RM of Minto-Oda-nah saw fi ve new homes, three RTMs and two mobile homes. In 2012, Minnedosa saw one new home, three RTM’s and four multi-fam-ily units. Minto-Odanah saw three new homes, two RTMs and two mobile homes. In 2013, Minnedo-

sa had two new homes, two RTMs and one mobile home while Minto-Odanah had three new homes, four RTMs and three mobile homes. 2014 saw fi ve new homes in Minnedosa with two mobile homes and 15 modular homes a result of the Westview Estates de-velopment. Minto-Odanah

had one RTM and four mo-bile homes. Last year, 2015, Minnedosa had three new homes and three mobile homes. During the same 12 month period, Minto-Oda-nah had two new homes and two mobile homes.

A group of concerned residents have taken a

major progressive step by forming a committee to replace the existing play-ground at the Minnedosa Beach. K a y l a G r a h a m , spokesperson for the newly formed Minnedo-sa Beach Enhancement Committee (MBEC), ex-plained what inspired the formation of the com-mittee, “there were many concerned mothers of small children unhappy with the current condi-tion of the beach play-ground and we thought instead of complaining about it on social media we would step up and do something to make a pos-itive change.” The non-profit volun-teer committee consists of seven members and has formed a Facebook page to allow interested followers to be informed on their progress. The

current goal of the MBEC is to secure enough funds through various fundrais-ing efforts to take down the existing playground and rebuild it with a state of the art, safe and fun playground for not only our local community children to enjoy, but for the many children that visit our beautiful beach and campground every summer. Current esti-mate is around $180,000 to completely revamp the playground. Work is not expected to start for two or three years. Once the playground is com-plete the MBEC will fo-cus on other needs in and around the Minnedosa Beach area. The MBEC just wrapped up its first suc-cessful fundraiser ac-cepting orders from nu-merous residents and Facebook followers for delicious Steeped Tea packages. The Minnedo-sa Drama Club also made a generous donation of

$1,000 to help the com-mittee get off the ground. Next month, the MBEC will host the lunch at the upcoming Minnedosa Spring Craft and Vendor Sale. The Minnedosa Ki-nette Club and the MBEC will team up to present an evening to remember at the Minnedosa Golf and Country Club with the first ever ‘Through the

Decades Dance’ in May. In August the MBEC will also be a part of Minnedo-sa’s first ever ‘Colour Run’, a major fundraiser in partnership with our lo-cal Rotary Club, Lions Club and Kinettes. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer to help the MBEC achieve their goals and help make a better tomorrow for the

Minnedosa Beach area please visit and ‘Like’ their Facebook page to message them, or send

emails to mdsabeachenh a n c e m e n t @ h o t m a i l .com.

Th e average value of new homes was approxi-mately $239,000. Th is re-fers to only new construc-tion and does not include the value of modular/mo-bile/RTM homes or multi-family housing. Commercial Building Permits came in with a to-tal fi ve-year total value of $1,847,500. Th e majority of that value ($1,436,000 ) was considered new construc-tion to an existing busi-ness. Examples of projects

falling within this category include the new Heritage Co-op fertilizer distribu-tion plant in the Industrial park. Storage sheds, such as the one built for the Fire Department also fall under this category. New com-mercial construction proj-ects ranged in value from $5,000 up to $766,000. Of the total new construc-tion value, $1,277,000 fell within town limits with the remaining $159,000 in the RM of Minto-Odanah. Th e remaining $411,500 of the total commercial value was for renovations to ex-

isting businesses within the Town of Minnedosa. Th e value of commercial renovations ranged from $2,000 up to $20,000. Th ere is also a separate category for permits re-lated to cottages. Over the past fi ve years there have been ten cottage permits taken out with a total value of $875,000. 2013 saw zero cottage permits with 2015 seeing four, which was the highest number of cottage permits in the fi ve year time frame. Last year’s four permits totalled $360,000.

Minnedosa Bowl has been knockin’ down

pins since 1962 and re-cently two of their out-standing members each won a provincial champi-onship in their league and will advance to Nation-als. With approximately 215 league members now, Minnedosa Bowl not only off ers fun and excitement for people of all ages and abilities, but an opportu-nity to exercise and devel-op a skill while competing in Provincial and National league tournaments. One of Minnedosa’s youth bowlers, Kadence Madden, is having a tre-mendous year especially for her fi rst year of bowl-ing, winning the Youth Provincials (YBC National Championships) Bantams Division (age 6-10) which were held in Winnipeg March 5th and 6th. Ka-dence won seven of her

nine games and will be our Manitoba Singles Repre-sentative at the Nationals to be held in Calgary, AB, May 6th to 8th. What a tremendous opportunity for a 10-year-old to travel and experience the ‘big leagues’ while having fun and furthering her bowl-ing abilities. I spoke with Kadence’s mother, Charity and she said, “Kadence is so excited to compete in another province and trav-el to the big city!” On February 27th, lo-cal bowler Vivian Cullen really made some pins fl y at Th underbird Lanes in Brandon, winning the Adult Provincials (Inter-provincial MB 220) and also capturing the highly acclaimed Henry Timmer Award, for the top overall bowler who bowled the highest number of pins over their average (+443). Vivian, who has been bowling with Minnedosa Bowl since 2013, was nail-

ing strike after strike for some truly impressive high scores including two games over the 300 mark, one at 313 and the other 314! Vivian will travel with her other Central Division team mates to compete at the Nationals 220 in Ham-ilton, ON April 22nd and 23rd. Alan and Debbie Tarn purchased Minnedosa Bowl in the summer of 2012 and have made many positive changes in the last few years with the addition of new leagues, a website and Facebook page, ex-tensive renovations and exciting plans for the fu-ture. “I am always look-ing in various areas for new ideas for the leagues, open bowling, youth time as well as changes for the coff ee shop,” Debbie com-mented. Besides tradi-tional league bowling the Minnedosa Bowl off ers other exciting activities such as Bingo Bowl, Novel-

ty Bowl, Glow Bowl, Birth-day party and Staff party packages with theme op-tions, school packages and fundraising ideas.

DARRYL A.HOLYK - PUBLISHER AND EDITOR

VBy DARRYL HOLYK

With this edition we mark the Tri-bune’s anniversary and begin

Volume 134 of the oldest weekly news-paper in the Canadian West. Back in March 1883, when William Gibbons started The Minnedosa Tribune, it was the one and only source of news, in-formation and advertising for settlers in this area. Today, we continue to provide that information and service to local residents as well as our many faithful subscribers all across the prov-ince, across the country and even a few in the United States all wanting to stay connected to their old stomping grounds. However, 133 years after that first edition of ye old Trib rolled off the presses here in this very building, we are no longer the sole source for news and advertising. There are many

other methods such as websites, radio, facebook and digital billboards which challenge the power of the sometimes thought of “old fashioned” newspaper. While some, especially the younger generation, may feel those other op-tions for news and advertising are the best way to go, recent statistics from research compiled by our national organization, Newspapers Canada proves what we have known all along – the “old fashioned” newspapers still have power and success when it comes to news and advertising value. What was found in this recent round of research was that 87% of Ca-nadians read a newspaper each week whether it’s a print edition, on a web-site, phone or tablet. The traditional, print edition of newspapers continues to be the most popular choice for Ca-nadians with 68% choosing to pick up

an actual newspaper rather than view-ing it on an electronic device. So why are people picking up their local newspaper? What is in it that they crave and want to see? 91% in-dicated it was for local news followed closely 88% who responded by stating it was for local events. While many are choosing facebook and other online options to advertise events and sales, newspapers still provide one of the most effective ways to reach people when it comes to advertising. 62% of people said they read the local news-paper for the classified ads or adver-tisements in general. 60% read it for the editorial /viewpoint content and 55% read the flyers and inserts inside their local newspaper. Overall, six out of ten adults read the local newspaper for advertising, classified ads or flyers/inserts proving that the newspaper still

has a lot of power when it comes to choosing where advertisers will get the best bang for their hard earn advertis-ing dollars. The numbers prove the read-er’s choice – in today’s digital world, the old community newspaper, like Minnedosa’s historic Tribune, is still a valued source of information for news and advertisements. Next time you are looking at advertising an upcom-ing event or sale, remember your local community newspaper – you are not only supporting the sustainability of a local business but you are also getting your message out to the public. With the continued support of local adver-tisers and readers, The Tribune will carry on into the future, recording the history of our community each week within its pages. Happy Anniversary Minnedosa Tribune!

The Old Fashioned Newspaper Still Has Value

Dear Editor,

The prospect of more provincial NDP and

federal Liberal defi cits has many of my constituents deeply concerned, and rightfully so. Th e Trudeau Liberals defi cits will create hardships for the people of Manitoba who will have to pay even steeper taxes. While our Manitoba NDP Government has attempt-ed to raise taxes enough to keep up with their spend-ing habits, they have still managed to add billions of dollars of debt. Even knowing the failures of the Selinger government, our new federal Liberal Gov-ernment wants to emulate

the tax and spend ways of Premier Greg Selinger, and drive our entire nation fur-ther into debt. Like my family and yours, I believe in the im-portance of running a bal-anced budget. On those rare occasions when a gov-ernment should deliber-ately run a defi cit, like we did during the global eco-nomic downturn of 2008, there absolutely must be a plan to eliminate the defi -cits and return to balance in a reasonable time. It takes discipline and fi scal prudence. We cannot bor-row our way to prosperity – no matter what Trudeau`s Liberals and Selinger`s NDP might say. Th eir plan

of spending money we do not have, to pay for their political promises, will lead to massive defi cits. Th e Conservative government worked hard through tough economic times to ensure we did not create a structural defi cit. We left the Liberal govern-ment a surplus of $2 billion as of December 31st, 2015. Th e federal Liberals, like their cousins in Selinger`s NDP, are now beginning a reckless spending spree that jeopardizes the eco-nomic future of Manitoba and Canada, in order to

meet their defi cit goals and erase the Conservative surplus. In Manitoba, succes-sive NDP governments have caused our province to have the fastest growth in net debt in the entire country in the 2015-2016 fi scal year, after failing to meet their campaign promises to balance the budget, once again. Manitoba`s NDP have now had budget defi cits for the last eight years, with no real plan to return to bal-ance. Th is heavy fi nancial burden is leading Mani-

toba toward further credit score downgrades and in-creased strain on services and resources off ered by the provincial government. It led Selinger`s NDP to breaking their campaign promise and increasing the PST to 8%. For the federal Lib-erals, this demonstrates that once you get on the defi cit treadmill, it is dif-fi cult to get off , and it will come back to haunt you with higher interest costs, higher taxes, and no fi scal room to maneuver to meet the priorities of Canadians. We know that Manitoba`s NDP have been unable to rein in spending, and have only been able to come up

with one solution to match their out of control spend-ing, and that is to raise tax-es on Manitobans. Th e NDP have lost the faith of Manitobans after raising taxes and break-ing their campaign prom-ises. If the federal Liber-als choose to go down the defi cit path of Manitoba`s NDP, they too will un-doubtedly lose the confi -dence of Canadians, and rightfully so.

Sincerely,

Robert Sopuck, MP

What if I told you that there are folks not

that far removed from our own backyard that have no idea where Minnedosa is? While we pat ourselves on the back and do enjoy a favourable reputation among many visitors and alumni from our commu-nity, it is important to re-member that even travel-ers who regularly frequent the area have never been here, and worse – they can’t recall ever hearing about us. Last week, I had the pleasure to partner with Deb Pritchard to represent Minnedosa at the Mani-toba Golf and RV Expo in Winnipeg. While we greet-ed hundreds of visitors to our booth – some who had glowing things to share with us from their previ-ous visits here, there was quite a number of patrons that were royally confused about Minnedosa, and it took a little bit of hand holding to help them chart

the course in their mind to fi nd us. Now admittedly, some of their confusion may have been related to the layout of the event, with Minnedosa sandwiched between two colourful dis-plays promoting the golf adventures in the state of Minnesota. So, fi rst we had to bring them back to a local focus and remind them that in our com-munity, their dollar is still a dollar (not to dissuade them from a trip south of the border, but to get them on the right page). Add-ing to the confusion for some of the most travelled golfers that attended the show was that in Morden, Manitoba, they have a golf course called Minnewas-ta. Th at’s a whole lot of “Minne-something” desti-nations to digest. But here’s the impor-tant take away from the event. Among the camp-ers, recreational travelers and golfers that we spoke

to during four days on the trade show fl oor, there were many that seemed generally mystifi ed about Minnedosa, even though they admitted to making the trip annually from their home town to visit Clear Lake. True, we are at a rec-ognized disadvantage by not having highway visibil-ity on Highways 16 or 10, but we should be able to better attract attention for those who happen to fi nd themselves in the neigh-bourhood. So how do we best ad-dress this? Some might suggest increased and im-proved signage on High-way 10 that might draw people into town. Th at could work – but it also relies on someone fi nd-ing themselves already on the road that bypasses our community. Th at can work and we have made some investment in this regard in our highway sig-nage. But beyond that, we need to embrace op-portunities to reach out to the people in those 46 Manitoba communi-ties that we encountered at the expo and continue

that conversation. For us to attract targeted travel opportunities, we need to reach people before they even leave home so that they can plan to make us their destination – not just hope to infl uence a change in plans to pull people from the highway who may or may not be invested. Yes, a lot of people know about us, but not everyone. We need to ini-tiate those conversations with everyone we meet as though they have never yet been to our community and sell our attractions and amenities to each and every one of them. Chanc-es are, even those who profess to know about us will learn something new, which inspires that fi rst visit of what we hope could be many. Manitoba’s Valley Par-adise is created by its peo-ple and we need to talk. You can fi nd me under the Discover Minnedosa ban-ner on Main Street, reach me by e-mail at [email protected], call me at 204-867-3885, or keep up with the action on Face-book.

Minnedosa Town Council met for its

regular March meeting on the evening of Tues-day, March 8th. Mayor Orr presided with Councillors Luker, MacDowall, Skatch, Saler and Taylor in atten-dance. Councillor Wedge-wood was absent. Th e meeting opened with a delegation of Kayla Graham and Lacy Mail-man of the Minnedosa Playground Enhancement Committee. Th e ladies pre-sented council with their plan for a major upgrade at the beach playground. A second delegation included Joelle Saltel-Allard and Gavin van der Linde from Eco-West. Th ey have been contacted by the Southwest Regional Development Corporation to assist community part-ners applying for grants in

support of the gasifi cation trial project proposed for Evergreen Environmental Technologies. A third delegation in-cluded Rene Black and EDO Vern May in regards to a proposal to re-zone a property for commercial use. Rene currently oper-ates Brio Massage out of the small building locat-ed between the Pearson Block and MNP, which is scheduled for demolition as part of the Heritage Co-op administration offi ce development later this year. She has purchased a house located in the down-town area on 2nd Avenue S.E. with hopes of moving her business to that loca-tion but later found the property is zoned as resi-dential. In order to do so, Rene would have to apply for a request to rezone the property. Once this ap-plication goes through all

the proper government channels, addressed with a public hearing and comes back to Town Council for a fi nal decision, it could be a ten week process. Th e tender for recy-cling collection for the four year term from January 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2019 from K.C. Waste and Recycling was accepted. Th is tender, being the only one submitted during the Request for Tenders pro-cess, came in at $5,908.92 per month with an addi-tional fuel surcharge and annual increase of 3% for each subsequent year. Th e quote of $7,999 plus GST from Gold Busi-ness Solutions was ac-cepted for the purchase of a new copier for the Town Offi ce. Th e ACAO was au-thorized to execute the lease agreement for the Minnedosa Beach Pa-

vilion for the 2016 sea-son between the Town of Minnedosa and Jill Caines on the condition that all conditional requirements listed in the lease are met. Council nominated Councillor Pat Skatch for a three-year term on the Southwest Regional Devel-opment Corporation. It was decided to con-tinue with the Crown Con-trol program within the Town of Minnedosa for 2016. Council, the CAO and ACAO were authorized to attend the Municipal Of-fi cials Seminar being held next month in Brandon. Th e CAO and ACAO were also authorized to attend the Manitoba Municipal Administrators Associa-tion convention being held in Winnipeg in late April.

Twelve Credit Unions Serving Southwest-

ern Manitoba, includ-ing Minnedosa, Erickson and Strathclair, are once again pleased to announce their joint sponsorship of the second annual Cred-it Union Family Day on March 30th at the upcom-ing Royal Manitoba Winter Fair (RMWF). “Th e decision to work with other Credit Unions in our area was easy giv-en our shared vision of serving the membership

more eff ectively by work-ing together,” says Brad Ross, General Manager of Minnedosa Credit Union. “Th is is at the heart of the Co-operative movement.” Th e RMWF is one of Western Canada’s largest agricultural events where people see show jump-ing and heavy horse com-petitions, livestock sales and displays, hands-on agricultural awareness programs, live entertain-ers, over 300 commercial and agricultural exhibits and more. Year after year, around 110,000 people at-

tend the weeklong RMWF. “Th e goal of the Pro-vincial Exhibition of Mani-toba is to provide top qual-ity entertainment for the entire family at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair. Having the support of the Credit Unions allows us the fl exibility to source su-perior acts for the fair that appeal to all ages and at-tract people from across the Westman area and be-yond,” says Ron Kristjans-son, General Manager of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba. Staff representing

twelve of the Credit Unions will be stationed in the Main Concourse through-out the entire six-day fair, acting as CU Ambassadors for all attendees. For people who attend the fair on Credit Union Family Day, their hands will be stamped with the CU hands and globe logo, they will be greeted by CU Ambassadors at the main entrance and enjoy spe-cial activities taking place at the booth and witness signifi cant Credit Union signage throughout the 540,000 square foot venue.

Our meeting started on March 7th at 7 p.m. A thank you card to Enns Brothers will be sent from the club

for the sponsorship to attend the Wheat Kings game on February 12th. Jayden LaBelle gave a presentation on his PS2 (piz-za, public speaking and swim) experience. It was held at Elkhorn Resort and following the pizza supper a work-shop for public speaking was presented to the members. Afterwards everyone got to swim in the new pool/water-slide and had lots of fun. Ashley Magnusson and Meredith Erven reported about their winter adventure experience in Camp Wan-nacumbac. Th ey enjoyed meeting new people, cross country skiing, making bracelets and snowshoeing. Th ey would defi nitely go again! Our ice fi shing party was a success, NOT for catching fi sh but for the fun the kids had. Our next fun event for the club will be held at the Minnedosa Curling Club on March 18th.

A group of former New-dale school students

meet regularly to celebrate their birthdays during their winter holidays as they vacation down south. Trudy (Hyde) Podruchny (Allan), who does the or-ganizing, Warwick Reid, Eddy (Bonnie) Waddell, Terry Wareham (Ruth) and Carolynn (John) Nickel, who provided the birthday cake and refresh-ments, as they will all be celebrating their big 7-0 this year!! Th is is an annu-al event for this group, so wishing every one of you many more get-togethers! Happy birthday greet-ings are extended to Olive Waddell for March 2nd in Hamiota PCH and to Dot Wareham on the 19th. Also celebrating birthdays in March are Yvonne Gra-ham and Stan Marks who now both live in Winni-peg. Newdale Raven’s Glen WI hosted two coff ee par-ties last week so residents could view the travelling Art Show pictures before they’re packed up for an-other year. Th ere were many beautiful works and congratulations to Ruth

Wareham who had one of her paintings selected this year. Ruth’s love of fi sh-ing showed in the picture of several fi sh waiting to take that worm-baited hook. Th e red ribbon pic-ture this year was done by Ruth Smith of Minnedosa and it will be travelling to Minnedosa Library from Newdale. Make sure you check it out! Next year it will be in Newdale in Jan-uary. Congratulations to great grandma, Margue-rite Wareham, on the ar-rival of another sweet little girl. Proud parents are Chris and Jody Ander-son and grandparents are Debby and Murray Moff at of Strathclair.

Th e natural ice in the curling rink hasn’t toler-ated this beautiful weath-er very well. Fortunately the junior curlers got their bonspiel in and regular curling is probably done for this year. Of course it’s always possible we’ll get some more winter weath-er. Amazing how the snow seems to have just disap-peared and we don’t hear of anyone complaining! Th e restaurant in the Leisure Inn is under new management. We wish them well. Hardly seems pos-sible we’ll be picking up tickets for the Drama pro-duction already, sounds like it will be a great per-formance again!

What an action packed hockey game Sat-

urday, March 12th in the Minnedosa Arena as the Minnedosa Bombers bat-tled the Carberry Plains-men in the fourth game of the semi-fi nal playoff s for the Tiger Hills Hock-ey League. Th is was the Bombers fi rst season in the more competitive THHL and they defi nitely did much better than expected making it all the way to the semi-fi nals. Th e Bombers won the fi rst game of their playoff s against the Plains-men, but lost the next two, making Saturday nights game a do or die situation to stay in the playoff s.

Saturday night’s game saw the Carberry Plains-men take the lead early in the game with a score of 2-0 at the end of the fi rst period. Th e second period saw the Plainsmen score the fi rst goal, but then the Bombers came back with two goals making the score 3 - 2 for the Plainsmen. Carberry managed to get another two goals before the end of the period mak-ing the score 5 - 2 at the end of the second period. Th e Plainsmen somehow gained another two goals in the third period, but the Bombers came back scoring another two goals making the game fi nal 7 - 4 in favour of the Plainsmen. By ZELDA FIRBY

The Minnedosa Rotary Club’s 17th annual

book fair was held last week at the 50+ Centre and what an excellent selection of books as well as games and puzzles. Th e book sale is one of the Rotary’s major yearly fundraisers and was initiated in 1999 by late Rotarian John Nea-bel and his wife Lois. Book sales were up this year from 2015 with approxi-mately 3,500 books being purchased. Peggy Mullie, chairperson of the Rotary Book Sale, commented, “We have excellent sup-port from Minnedosa and neighbouring communi-ties in donating and pur-chasing books each year.” If you have any books you would like to donate for this great local fundraiser

you can drop them off at the Minnedosa Regional Library or call 204-867-2113 for pickup of large amounts. So far this year, the Rotary Club has raised about $3,200 which will be distributed back into the community to various organizations such as the Rivers Edge Recreation Park, Rolling River Festi-val of the Arts, Minnedosa Food Bank, C.H.A.N.G.E., various youth programs and the Minnedosa Han-di-Van, to name just a few. Th e next fundraising event will be the 400 Club dinner and draw in July at the beginning of Fun Fest weekend. “Rotary allows ordinary people to do ex-traordinary things” a truly fi tting slogan for a very valuable community club!

Another Successful Rotary Book Fair

A great variety of good, used donated books was once again available at the Rotary Club’s annual book fair.

The Gift from the Heart event is unique, as it

allows the profession of “dental hygiene” to come together from every cor-ner of our country in unity to work towards one com-mon goal. On Saturday, April 9th, registered den-tal hygienists across Cana-da are opening their doors

and their hearts to provide no-cost preventive dental hygiene services as part of a national campaign. For the eighth con-secutive year, the “Gift from the Heart” event pro-vides registered dental hy-gienists the opportunity to reach out to their commu-nities and help members of the public who may be fi nancially unable to af-

ford oral healthcare or have diffi culty accessing dental hygiene services. Th ere are more than 100 participating offi ces all across Canada where the public can register to re-ceive no-cost dental hy-giene services. Andrea Adamson, a local hygienist, will be participating in this year’s event. She will be off ering

free dental hygiene care to residents of the Minnedo-sa Personal Care Home. A limited number of spaces are available – see ad in Coming Events for ap-pointment booking infor-mation. “Th e profession of dental hygiene is forever evolving and this one day event, the “Gift from the Heart”, provides regis-

tered dental hygienists the opportunity to come to-gether and educate every-one on the importance of preventing oral disease for a healthy mouth and healthy body”, says Bev Woods, CDHA member, event founder and partici-pant. Last year, dental hy-gienists across Canada saw over 800 clients dur-

ing the one-day event. In the past seven years it is estimated that dental hygienists across Can-ada have provided over $400,000 worth of no-cost dental hygiene services during the “Gift from the Heart” events.

CECILWho left us 16 years ago

MARCH 19TH, 2000

A gentle wind blewcross the land,

Reaching out to take a hand,And on the windsthe angels came,

Calling out a loved one’s name.Left behind the family’s tears,Loving memories of the years,

of joy and love, a life well spent,

And now to God, a loved one’s sent.

To those who weep, a life is gone,

But in God’s love,you will live on.

You are the gentlewinds that blow,

You are the diamond glints on snow

You are the sunlight on ripened grain,You are the gentle

autumn’s rain.You are remembered.

Always remembered and sadly missed by wife,

Olga and family.x

WILLIAM CLARK ENDALL1921 - 2016

On Tuesday, March 8th, 2016 at Tabor Home in Morden, MB, Bill Endall, aged 94 years went to his eternal rest. Bill was born on a farm south of Minnedosa, the eldest of three children and farming remained in his blood for the rest of his life. His father had to go to the sanitarium in Ninette for treatment of tuberculosis when Bill was eight years old so he grew up very quickly and took very seriously his role as the man of the family. Th e twin ethics of hard work and respon-

sibility were driving forces in his life but he also learned to have fun. He played baseball, loved curling and later, golf. Bill grew up with music and

met Florence Baker at a dance. Th ey were married on December 20th, 1947 (he was fond of telling people it was the longest night of the year)

and worked together on the farm while raising their children until they moved to Brandon in 1957. Bill worked at the Hydro Generating Station in Brandon for over thirty years and Florence resumed teaching when their youngest child began attending school. Th e Endall home was known for its hospitality and generosity. Bill and Florence had many good friends and enjoyed count-less games of bridge, dominoes and aggravation over the course of their marriage of fi fty-seven years. After raising their children, they unhesitatingly took on the task of raising two grandchildren, Teena and Heather. Bill also served on several community boards and organizations over the years and was active in the Anglican Church. Following Florence’s death in 2005, Bill moved to Ruth and Brian’s home in Morden then subse-quently to Homestead South assisted living and a year ago to Tabor Personal Care Home. He retained his ability to make friends and his sense of humour until the end. Bill was predeceased by his parents, William and Della, his sisters, Kathleen and Alma, his wife, Flor-ence and his great grandson, Ethan. Left to remember him with gratitude and happy memories are: Ruth (Brian Minaker), Jack, (Linda), George (Jeanne) and Alan (Celine Pitre). Th ere are eleven grandchildren: Teena, Heather, Chris, Karen, Katie, Becky, Cathy, Sadie, Della, Clayton and Crystal and twenty-three great grandchildren to miss him and recall his strong, positive infl uence. Th e family would like to thank the many caregivers who helped him in his later years, especially Dr. Kevin Earl, Mary Benson and her indefatigable bank of Home Care workers, especially, Myrna and Linda and the loving, compassionate staff at Tabor Home. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held in the summer complete with a family picnic, as he wished. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made in Bill’s memory to either the CNIB, Tabor Home or to the charity of one’s choice. We can all learn from Bill’s personal motto: If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Rest in peace, Bill; job well done.

AUDREY ROBINA BRIESE (CHISHOLM)NOVEMBER 29TH, 1926 – MARCH 4TH, 2016

Audrey Briese passed away peacefully with family by her side at the Minnedosa Personal Care Home.

Audrey, the eldest daughter of Ralph and Hazel Chisholm, was born at Neepawa Hospital. Her early life was started in Brookdale, Manitoba and then moved with her family to New Osgood, Saskatchewan. After returning to Manitoba the family settled in Riding Mountain where with her young-

er sister Ila they drove a team of horses to and from school in Kelwood.Audrey attended Normal School in Winnipeg from 1945-46. She

went on to a teaching career in Dumfries, Central School and Hazel M. Kellington in Neepawa, followed by Tanner’s Crossing in Minnedosa.

In December 1949 she married a young man by the name of Ernie Briese. Th eir home in Neepawa became home to many boarders and foster children. Audrey and Er-nie adopted three children: Robert, James and Lois which fi lled their home and life with so much joy. Th rough the years Audrey enjoyed sewing, playing the piano and organ, directing the hand bell choir, gardening, reading, genealogy, golfi ng and of course politics. After retiring from teaching her interests took her to working at the pharmacy and furniture store in Minnedosa. Audrey and Ernie enjoyed travelling and camping in their travel van to all parts of Canada and the USA. Along the way they visited with many friends and re-connected with any relative that they could add to their family tree. When they weren’t “on the road”, time was spent planning numerous family reunions and get togethers. Along with her sister Ila, these two were the true historians of all family, leaving behind a wealth of photo albums and history books for the next generations to enjoy. Audrey is pre-deceased by her husband Ernie, son James and just recently sister Ila. Audrey is lovingly remembered by son Robert of Milton, Ontario and daughter Lois Eamer of Hartney, Manitoba as well as many in-laws, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Th e family wishes to extend personal thanks to Dr. Onyshko, Dr. Khandelwal, and the staff at the Minnedosa Personal Care Home for their wonderful, compassionate care. Our sincere apprecia-tion to Nathan and his staff at Minnedosa Funeral Home for their guidance and professionalism. Donations in Audrey’s memory may be made to the Minnedosa Personal Care Home Patio Fund. A graveside service will take place at a later date. Minnedosa Funeral Service in care of arrangements.
