In speaking with

I learned they were initially just planning on replacing the shingles, but
upon further investigation they discovered there
was no insulation in the
roof. This revelation drastically changed the budget and projected start

Minnedosa Soccer Scores Big


By JEFF PEARSON

n Thursday, October
1st Ken Jenner, President of Heritage Co-op,
presented Wes Barrett,
President of The Minnedosa Youth Soccer Association, a generous donation
in the amount of $10,000
for Minnedosas Soccer
Field projects.
Soccer, one of our
country's largest and fastest growing participation sports, is a big hit in
Minnedosa with over 350
registered
participants
ranging in age from 3 to 53.
Unfortunately, flooding in
recent years at the MCI and
TCS fields (owned by the
Rolling River School Division) has caused the cancellation of programs and
events, creating a real need
for better fields. In addition, the continued growth
of the sport in Minnedosa
and surrounding areas necessitates additional facilities as current capacity is
routinely exceeded.
Over 44% of Canadian

youth participate in the


sport of soccer, of which
40% are female participants. Soccer is truly an
inclusive sport without financial or gender barriers.
The Minnedosa Youth Soccer Association, under the
direction of President Wes
Barrett, has a proven track
record in the development
of players, coaches, officials and facilities over the
past 40 years.
The new fields at the
MREC site are multi-age,
multi-sport fields. Total
project costs are estimated
at $300,000.
From a multi-age
perspective, the movable
goals and variety of goal
sizes, means the fields will
be able to accommodate
all the soccer players in our
community. Having flexibility with age and field sizes provides The Minnedosa
Soccer organization with
the ability to host tournaments for youth players
and numerous games can
go on at once. It also gives
older and senior teams the

ability to host tournaments


throughout the season as
well as hosting provincial
and national events.
Minnedosas soccer
facilities are rented by regional youth and adult
teams from other communities for both practices
and games. They also have
area Colleges (Assiniboine
Community College) and
Universities
(Brandon
University) that rent the
fields for their programs,
training and games. The
University of Manitoba
Ladies team comes out to
Minnedosa for Spring Soccer Camps. In addition,
the Manitoba Soccer Association rents the facilities
to host Regional Games
Identification,
Training
Camps and clinics for players, referees and coaches.
From a multi-sport
perspective, the fields
have been built to also accommodate rugby. Movable, portable rugby posts
can be utilized to give our
community access to their
only regulation-size rugby

pitches. There are close to
200 rugby players at the
youth to adult level in our
community. Senior teams
from Brandon are also expressing interest in renting
Minnedosas fields due to
ongoing flood issues.
Thanks to a lot of
"heavy lifting" by soccer players and their
families, as well as help
from the Municipality of
Minto-Odanah, Town of
Minnedosa and a variety of fundraising efforts
new field #1 is complete.
A Grand Opening is being
planned for April 2016.
In the meantime, work

is moving forward on new


field #2. Moving the dirt
this fall and it will be irrigated, seeded and fenced
in early spring 2016. It will
be "game-ready" for Spring
2017.
The Minnedosa Soccer Association has also
done some maintenance
and minor upgrades at the
Beach Field during 2015.
New carpet was installed
in the player bench areas
and the field was aerated
as well as some re-seeding. In addition, with the
full support of the Town of
Minnedosa, we applied to
the Canada150 Program to

do some long-overdue upgrades to the field. The field


was originally built to accommodate Minnedosa's
hosting of the 1992 Manitoba Summer Games. It
has served our community
well, but is also in need of
some re-investment. Their
application is to upgrade
the irrigation system, fencing, player benches, goals
and washrooms/change
rooms at the Beach Field.
They are awaiting notification on this funding application. If successful, they
plan on doing these upgrades in 2016.

Homerun for Minnedosa Baseball

Photo submitted

By JEFF PEARSON

his fall season has


been another busy
one for Minnedosa Minor
Baseball. A long awaited
upgrade has been completed at the Mavericks
Ball Diamond. Since 1992
the clay infields have been
eroding away from the rain
and the pounding of the
many Mavericks victories.
In desperate need of replacement and with funding in place from grant applications, the resurfacing
upgrade project was a go.
Terry McLenehan, President of Minnedosa Minor
Baseball
spearheaded
the contractor side of the
project and Colleen Lewis
looked after the grant applications.

Shortly
after
the
Mavericks 10th consecutive championship victory with the Santa Clara
League in August, the excavation started to resurface the diamonds infield.
Clint Moffat and Sons Ltd.
removed the old clay right
down to the dirt below. A
new traditional grass infield with a clay base path
was ready to be made.
When the excavation was
complete new clay was
placed for the bases and
11 pallets of sod were laid
for the infi eld. The project was completed at the
end of September. The
new infi eld nicely compliments the recently upgraded pitching mound
and home plate, as well as
the new backstop.

support and help from the

Credit Canada and Richardson Pioneer and all the
volunteer hours put in by
the dedicated members of
Minnedosa Baseball and

Equality, Transparency, Openness And The Niqab

Letters to
the Editor

Dear Editor,

his past week I watched our


prime minister sink to new
lows in his no holds barred attempt
to hold onto power. With many
important issues such as youth unemployment, health care or any aboriginal issue not even mentioned and the election now
only two weeks away, Prime Minister Harper instead took
the low road, disguising racism as patriotism, exploiting
the fears of voters with his fear-mongering and intolerance towards a tiny number of women who wear the
niqab.
There is nothing wrong with being opposed to the
niqab but by going to such lengths to fight one womans
wish/right to keep it on while taking her citizenship oath
when she has every right to do so under our own laws,
Stephen Harper is putting all our anxieties and fears onto
how one Muslim woman chooses to dress. Our government has no right to tell this woman how she should experience her spirituality and how she should live her religion. He is attempting to win the election on the back of
womens freedom to choose and doing nothing less than
telling them how to experience their equality - his way.
Making this woman take off the niqab is not liberating
her. It is no different than making her wear one.
Harper has stated that wearing the niqab during the
ceremony does not reflect Canadian values of transparency, openness or equality. This comes from a man who
has been anything but transparent and open himself
and whose record speaks against equality for women.
Shortly after the Conservatives were elected in 2006 they
removed the word equality from the mandate of the
Status of Women Canada, only reinstating it after much
protest. He has referred to womens groups as left wing
fringe groups or a special interest group. Fifty percent of
the population does not represent a special interest. The
Harper government has silenced discussion on women
and womens advocacy, specifically targeting organizations that advocate for the rights of women (including
rape crisis centres), cutting their funding by 43% and
shutting down 12 of 16 Status of Women offices. Under
this government, Canada has fallen from 7th to 25th in
the world ranking of the economic gender gap. The gender pay gap in Canada is double the global average yet
Harper voted against the womens pay equity bill which
would have allowed complaints to be brought to the Human Rights Commission.
Stephen Harper cut the Womens Health Contribution Program which funded several womens health organizations across Canada. This government cut funding
for Sisters in Spirit, a data- base project which kept track

of missing Aboriginal women, who


are four times more likely to experience violence. Everyone should
be aware of Harpers position on
investigating any structural or systemic causes of the nearly 1200
missing or murdered as he ignores
repeated calls or an inquiry, saying
its not on their radar. Th
ere is actually no national strategy to halt violence against women. Canada is ranked last
among 25 developed nations for provision of child care.
The Harper cuts to Stats Canada and removal of the
mandatory long-form census mean there will be no public intervention to redress womens social and inequality.
The list of his poor record on womens equality goes on
and on. I cant even mention it all here. Nor have I even
touched on his transparency and openness record. Such
hypocrisy.
This is not about political correctness. It is about
simple human decency. In a pluralist Canada we should
respect diversity and diff erence. Muslim women are
now bearing the brunt of Harpers electoral strategy. We
are starting to hear reports of them being assaulted as
well as witnessing rampant hate speech on social media.
These acts are not undertaken in support of women. Th is
is not about womens equality. It is about driving a wedge
between Canadians and appealing to peoples worst instincts in a search for votes.
Looking across the border to a certain political race
taking place there, I cant help but make the comparison
- Donald Trump anyone?

Hunger And Poverty A Current Problem


Letters to
the Editor

Dear Editor,

m disappointed that our Conservative Member of Parliament,


Robert Sopuck, did not attend the
forum on child poverty here in
Neepawa recently. The four other
candidates were there, explaining
what their parties would try to do to make sure not as
many kids go hungry as is presently the case.
Not only does Manitoba have the highest rate of poverty among children of all the provinces, there are hungry
kids right here in Neepawa too. So its not just a problem
over there somewhere.
Neepawas Child and Family Services Worker, Dawn
Haines-Shaw told a church group recently, her case
load became so full, she was unable to handle the larger
Neepawa district to which she had initially been assigned
and now is responsible for the Town only. She said the
poor need better transportation, more affordable housing and often struggle with emotional problems which
keep them from going to appointments where they might
be able to get help.

An offi cial of the Salvation


Army in Neepawa, Amanda
Laughton-Gale, told the same
group, she estimates, by years
end, they will have helped one
thousand individuals - kids and
grownups - with food from the
food bank, clothing and, at Christmas, toys and food hampers.
Mr. Sopuck told me after the forum that his governments emphasis on economic development, is the way
to tackle the issue. Im sure he sincerely believes that. I
dont.
After 10 years of Conservative rule (and Liberals before that), those kinds of trickle down theories have
left more Canadian kids hungry today than there were
in 1989, when the House of Commons unanimously resolved to end child poverty by 2000. That was 15 years
ago, folks.
How much longer will we make them wait?

Helping Those Most In Need


By VERN MAY

n rural Manitoba, were


not people who relish
in seeing our friends and
neighbours struggle. No,
when theres a community
call to action to support
those in need, its something that we all rally behind to lend our support.
However, some of the battles are ongoing and take
place behind the scenes so
they sometimes evade our
radar. This may be the case
with the Minnedosa Food
Bank.
You may not be aware,
but the efforts of our local
co-ordinator and volunteers at the food bank supports families in not only
Minnedosa, but also eleven surrounding communi-

ties. Families in Bethany,


Clanwilliam, Basswood,
Newdale, Rapid City, Erickson, Onanole, Sandy
Lake, Elphinstone and
some of our neighbouring
fi rst nations communities also rely on support
locally. With the growing
number in need, it can be
a challenge to keep the
shelves stocked.
While there is often a
great surge of interest and
donations around Christmas when we may be
thinking more about the
season of giving, the need
exists throughout the year.
The solution requires that
we tackle the problem in
new ways, to keep the urgency of the situation at
top of mind.
Over the past few

weeks, the Minnedosa


Rotary Club has lent their
energy to the cause, challenging local businesses to
a Food Weigh Off Challenge to see which local
business can collect the
most food. The conclusion
of that campaign will take
place this Saturday at the
Co-op Food Market as the
donations will be collected
and weighed. The public is
encouraged to attend and
make donations as well.

Some of the items hardest


to keep in stock at the food
bank include pasta noodles, rice, canned soups
and stews, soup crackers,
canned meats, pasta sauce,
brown beans, canned vegetables and fruit.
To drop off
your donation, local Rotarians will
be on hand at the Co-op
on Saturday morning to
collect goods and transfer
them to the food bank.

Livescan: Fingerprinting Via Scanner


Police Beat
By

Staff Sgt.
BOB CHABOT

t has been a busy couple


of weeks for our area.
Usually we see the number of fi les decreasing as
the weather gets cooler.
This fall that doesnt seem
to be the case. Ill comment more on the files a
little later.
Over the past year
we have changed the way
we take fingerprints at
most detachments across
Manitoba.
We have a
new system called Livescan where fingerprints

are taken via a scanner


and sent directly to an
Ottawa based system for
comparison. This drastically speeds up the time
the prints are entered in
the national database system and compares them
with prints on fi le or any
outstanding crimes with
prints. It also speeds up
the time a persons criminal convictions are entered as well. Although
this speeds things up as a
whole it does take up time

at our office for a member


to take the prints and enter the data on the system.
We welcome that change
as it certainly beats the
old paper style of taking
prints. You will note in
the near future that anyone needing fingerprints
will have either a specific
day to attend or will have
a specificappointment.
Th e Livescan is located
at the Shoal Lake detachment and we dont always
have a member working at
that office. Once we have
the details worked out
you can expect another
message on this detailing
when and how this will all
work.
This past week we had
40 calls for service. The
Shoal Lake Golf Course
was the victim of a break
and enter where the members sheds were broken
into. 18 sheds in total
were entered and various
items stolen including
golf bags. One male was

arrested and remanded


into custody for uttering
threats and breaching his
probation.
Th ere were again
several thefts in the area
where ATVs were stolen and cabins broken
into.
We are diligently
investigating these occurrences and the number
of thefts are a concern for
our offi ce.
We encourage all property owners
to remove keys from all
vehicles and ensure your
property is secure. We are
also asking that if you have
any type of camera system or trail cam to mount
those in hidden locations
in an attempt to identify
the persons responsible
for these thefts.
There were two speeding tickets issued during
this week. The speeder of
the week goes to a male
from Minitonas who was
issued a ticket for $495.50
for being 34 km over the
speed limit.

Festival Of The Arts Staying


In Minnedosa For 2016
SUBMITTED

Rolling River Festival of the Arts usually alternates between the towns of Minnedosa and Rivers every two
years. Although the festival was to move to Rivers in 2016,
they were unable to put together a committee to organize
and host it. Not wanting to have a lapse, the Minnedosa
festival committee has decided to host the RRFA here
again.
Dates have been set for Monday, March 14th through
Friday, March 18th, 2016. The small Minnedosa executive
is looking for help with this unexpected but worthwhile
endeavour and would appreciate volunteers who wish
to work with us - contact Val Dornn or Louise Uhryniuk.
We had wonderful feedback about the RRFA last year and
hope to make the 2016 event another success.

Soccer Fields
Continued from Page 2
The upgrade of the Beach Field, combined with the
development of 17 new full-service campsites by the Town
of Minnedosa immediately south of the Beach Field, has
created a great tourism opportunity for our community.
Teams from other communities (as well as area college/
university teams and out-of-province groups) are interested in booking the campsites to hold tournaments and
training activities in Minnedosa. Town council has agreed
to have these new campsites dedicated as "non-seasonal"
to support this Sport Tourism activity.
The development of the two new multi-age fi elds at
the MREC site, combined with the upgrades at the Beach
Field will provide Minnedosa Soccer with the facilities required to support the growth and development of one of
Minnedosa's largest participation sports.

The Missed Opportunity


Living in
Paradise
By

VERN MAY

EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC

ts so obvious that
youre probably flabbergasted that nobody has
jumped all over it yet. In
your mind, its a sure winner and it fills a desperate
need. When you talk to
friends, they share your
outlook.
The lightbulb
comes on with co-workers as well, Yeah! I never thought about it, but
youre really onto something there.
In every community across the country, somebody is talking
about the missed opportunity in their town. It
could be someone local
who laments the commute to somewhere else
for a product or service
that could be available at
home. Maybe its a parcel
of land that sits vacant or
a hauntingly empty commercial store front that
screams for attention every time you pass by. The
worst circumstance is the
extended passage of time
which slowly erodes that
focus from our memory
until we cant see any op-

portunities anymore.
Since arriving here
in Minnedosa earlier this
year, I have found myself
questioning everything.
Why is this building vacant? What is the status
of this Main Street property? How can we shine a
spotlight on the potential
that exists here? Has local
enthusiasm dried up completely?
Maybe there are folks
in the community ready
to tackle some great business and service projects
but they just need a nudge
in the right direction and
some capital to bring their
vision to life.
Some of the things
that I see along this vein
include:Our beach is one
of our trademark attractions, bringing in visitors from far and wide.
Doesnt it seem a shame
that the Pavilion was only
open for one day this summer? If were not going to
operate it as a community,
should we entertain offers
from enterprising individuals who may see an op-

portunity for a seasonal or


year round venture at that
site? What if theres an opportunity to build anew at
that location, what possibilities does that create?
What businesses do
we have in town that are
under-publicized because
theyre home-based without public visibility? Are
there enough of them to
explore the development
of some affordable commercial space for them
to help their businesses
grow? Do we have seasonal businesses in the
community that have the
potential to diversify during their off season but
are held back solely by the
costs of pursuing growth?
What inventory do
we have of uninhabitable buildings that have
reached such a state of
disrepair that its time to
knock em down and start
from scratch? What ideas
do we have in mind to replace them?
What community facilities do we have that are
under used on an annual
basis? Do we have opportunities to increase rentals for those spaces or to
explore new uses for those
sites?
These are just a few
of the thoughts put on the
table as we developed the
framework for Whats the
Big Idea? to be hosted
here in Minnedosa on
October 22nd. We want
to see the innovative new
ideas, re-explore past
ideas that were unable to
generate momentum at
that time, and lets re-engage in our efforts to not
just maintain, but grow
our community. Were
also looking to hear from
current business owners
and our agricultural com-

munity to usher in expansion and diversification of


their current portfolios.
Registration is free for
those who would like to attend and make their pitch.
Your only investment is
your time and your passion for your project.
In addition to the
pitch portion, which features more than $50,000
in cash awards and real
estate opportunities, the

event will also include


participation from a number of resource and funding agencies such as Community Futures Westman,
FuturPreneur, Manitoba
Agriculture, Food and

RBC. A slate of rural entrepreneurs will also be on
hand to share their perspectives of the rural opportunity.

Mental Health Awareness Week


SUBMITTED

ental Illness Awareness Week includes


a public awareness campaign that aims to better inform and educate
Canadians about the issues surrounding mental
illness. The theme of the
week for 2015 is Mental
Health: Take Action Now.
The campaign runs October 4th to 10th and it represents many important
issues.
First and foremost,
it puts a human face on
mental illness by featuring the stories of people
living with mental illness.
Check out this years faces
at www.miaw.ca
The campaign also
highlights the incredibly
wide spectrum of those
touched by mental illness, including: families,
friends, care providers,
teachers and all manner of
health care practitioners.
It encourages all of us - including our governments
- to face and address the

issues.
Mental Illness Awareness Week brings us some
fundamental messages:
1. Reach out. Dont be
afraid to ask for help or to
ask how you can help. This
is a message for the family as well as for the person who is suffering alone
and for all of us who know
someone in trouble.
2. Get help early. Early
intervention and treatment can reduce long term
disability and enhance recovery.
3. Talk about it. Share
your stories to help others
understand.
4. Share the care.
Treatment and support
of people with mental illness involves many types
of caregivers; each has an
important role to play.
5. Hope. While there
are no cures for severe
mental illnesses, improved
treatments and community supports offer increased
hope for recovery from its
symptoms and a better
quality of life.

6. Respect differences.
People with mental illnesses and their families
are as diverse as the general population.
Its crucial that we educate Canadians about the
nature of mental illness
and reduce the STIGMA
associated with it. Unfortunately, the stigma surrounding mental illness
often prevents sufferers
from seeking the help they
need, impairs recovery, affects the quality and availability of care and needed
supports and even takes

lives. Stigma also continues to keep mental health


low on the health agenda.
Mental disorders can
result in a profound burden of illness, causing
suffering, disability, hospitalization and suicide.
The World Health Organization (2011)has affirmed
that mental illness is one
of the largest contributors
to disability worldwide.
Facts:
* 75% of the short term
disability claims across
Canada are related to
Mental Health.

* It has been estimated that by 2020 depressive illnesses will become


the leading cause of disease burden in developed
countries like Canada.
* One in three Canadians will struggle with
a mental health related
problem in any given year.
* One in five Canadians will experiencea mental illness over the course
of their lifetime.
* Approximately 4,000
Canadians die by suicide
each year.
* Mental illness knows

no boundaries; it can affect all people, regardless


of age, culture, income and
education.

events and opportunities to get involved or to

in quizzes like the name

there could be costumes,

Aggies Push A Bed For Cancer


By DARRYL HOLYK

f you were on Main


Street Minnedosa Saturday morning you may have
thought your eyes were
playing tricks on you, but
no, there really was an old
bed frame being pushed
down the street by a group
of enthusiastic university
students. What you witnessed was a fundraising
tradition by University of
Manitoba Faculty of Agriculture, known as the Aggies Bedpush.
Th is year marks the
34th year for the Bedpush
which began as a unique
and exciting way to raise
money for the Winnipeg
Childrens Hospital. The
Aggies set out pushing the
bed from Brandon to Winnipeg. It was a success and
has become an annual
event raising money for
various charities over the
years. The bed frame used
today is the very same one
used in that first Bedpush

and the Aggies have calculated that the old bed


has put on well over 200
kilometres over the years!
After safety concerns
arose about pushing the
bed along the busy Trans
Canada Highway, the format of the Bedpush was
revamped so that it could
continue. The Bedpush
is now held in numerous
Manitoba communities.
The 2015 Aggies Bedpush was held in partnership with a project called
Growing Support For
Cancer, in which Aggie
alumni Darcy Miller of
Oakville, MB is growing
90 acres of Soybeans and
donating all the profits to
Cancer Care Manitoba. In
addition to this crop, all
funds raised from the Aggies Bedpush will also be
donated to Cancer Care
Manitoba.
Last year, the Bedpush
raised $8,900 for Heart
and Stroke and organizers of this years event set

a goal of $10,000 for the


2015 Bedpush. Following Minnedosas Bedpush
on Saturday, that goal has
been surpassed with a
total of $12,750 being reported Monday morning.
Donations will continue to
be accepted until November 20th and can be made
online at www.uofmaggies.
ca.
Th is years Bedpush
stopped in Oakville, Portage, Gladstone, Neepawa,
Minnedosa,
Carberry,
Glenboro, and Carman.
Carlene Dmytriw and
Rachael Verwey are the
charity representatives on
Faculty of Agriculture Students Organization (FASO)
and are in charge of running the event. Th ey,
along with all of the Bedpush participants are extremely thankful for the
tremendous support this
unique fundraiser has received this year from community members, friends
and family.

Introducing The Tribunes New Reporter , Jeff


By JEFF PEARSON

way in Alberta for almost 30 years, my


family and I decided it was
time to move back home
to be closer to family and
live in a small friendly
community. I was born in
Minnedosa and grew up on
a farm just south of town
while I attended Tanners
Crossing School, graduating from Minnedosa Collegiate Institute in 1987.
Shortly after graduation I moved to Edmonton
to pursue a career at The
Edmonton Journal, with
a dream of one day drawing a cartoon strip. Well
it never happened, but I
did get close. I started as a
delivery driver on an overnight shift. What a great
way for a farm kid to get
to know the big city. My
route was the 24hr convenience stores in downtown
Edmonton. I definitely ran
into some very interesting
characters prowling the
streets in the wee hours of
the morning.
After a year of delivering papers I applied for
a job in the financial services department. I was
successful and landed a
real day job. Working in
the financial department
for almost seven years I
learned a great deal about
the business end of a large
daily newspaper. Still pursuing my dream of being a
cartoonist I was fortunate
enough to get some of my
illustrations published and
did the odd cartoon for our
promotions department.
Working with the talented graphic artists at the
Journal inspired me to take
some computer graphics
courses and eventually invest in a nice graphic computer and software. A position eventually came up
in the advertising department for a graphic artist
and I fit right in. I spent my
last three years at the Journal in graphic ad creation.
One evening when I was
on a computer course one
of my classmates asked me
if I had ever thought of illustrating childrens books,
her husband was an agent
for a publishing company.
I mulled it over and eventually took my portfolio in
for review. I was offered a
contract to illustrate eight
books right away. I accepted and was excited,
but overwhelmed with

the stress of working full


time at the Journal and illustrating books through
the night.
Not having
much time for sleep I ran
out of steam and eventually had to make a choice.
I resigned the Edmonton
Journal just before my 10th
anniversary to become a
full time childrens book
illustrator. I signed a twoyear contract and illustrated many books, puzzles
and games for Children.
One day I intend on writing and illustrating my
own childrens books.
After my contract as an
illustrator was up I decided
it was time for a new direction so I decided to get my
Class 1 drivers license. After a few months I was able
to get a job without experience, delivering steel for
a company in Nisku, AB
called Varsteel. I drove
for approximately two
years then accepted a job
in sales. The bustling oil
business was a fast paced
environment and you felt
like a stockbroker with
market prices changing
constantly. Seven years
on the sales desk and I was
promoted to outside sales
rep. Meeting with clients
and discussing their structural needs, while being a
liaison between them and
Varsteel was a challenging career requiring a fair
amount of travel.
While working in the
steel industry my wife and
I were able to save enough
money to start our own
photography business and
called it Storybook Photography. In the beginning

we did not have enough


customers to provide a full
time income, so I had to
continue working. With
a growing family my time
constraints were at an
all time high. I made the
choice to leave the steel
industry and become a
full time photographer.
We had a beautiful studio located in downtown
Leduc. Our specialty was
in wedding, newborn, toddler and family photos.
The market in the Edmonton area was good and
competitive, but as we all
know, with the falling price
of oil in Alberta tends to
slow down all over.
My wife and I had often considered moving
back to Minnedosa to be
closer to my family, and
with the slowing economy
in Alberta we decided now
was a good time. Moving
over the summer was very
challenging for us with kids
and wedding contracts to
finish. We made five trips
back and forth with trailers and eventually a Uhaul,

while photographing weddings on the weekends. I


was also working full time
in Brandon; needless to
say my summer went by in
the blink of an eye.
After working a cou-

ple months in Brandon


I was not enjoying the
long hours or commuting so I decided to take a
day off and look for local
employment. Where to
apply I thought to myself.
Not knowing where to
begin I decided I would
just drive downtown and
go for coff ee. Coming up
to Main Street I noticed
the Tribune offi ce. I had
seen they were hiring, but
heard the position had
been fi lled. I thought I
would drop off a resume
anyway just in case something came up in the future. Well that was my
lucky day. Two days later
on October 1st I started
my new exciting career as
a Reporter/Photographer.
I look forward to cov-

Removing Skunk Smell


Solutions and
Substitutions
By

REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
How can I remove
skunk odor from my clothing? Betty
Dear Betty,
Soak your clothes in
the following solution; fourcups 3% hydrogen peroxide, one-quarter cup baking soda and one tsp. liquid
dish soap (I prefer Dawn);
mix, soak for 30 mins. and
rinse.
Dear Reena,
I have no choice but
to park my vehicle under
trees. As a result it has accumulated a coating of aphid
excrement and dust. I have
tried a couple of cleaners,
but they require scrubbing
which would be hard on
the finish. Can you recommend a solution that will
not require the scrubbing
necessary for the others?
Obviously, I dont drive it
much which is my excuse
for not washing it as often
as I should have. Thanks
for any input you may have.
Clare
Dear Clare,
Cover the messed area
with paper towel or soft
thin fabric cloth. Spray the
towel with water until the
liquid soaks through onto
the car. Leave for 10 mins.
and gently wipe mess away.
The trick is to soak the area
to soften before wiping. If
the mess remains, treat the
area in the same way, using
Windex window cleaner.
Consider purchasing a car
cover, if the car is rarely
used.
Dear Reena,
I planted pumpkin
seeds this year and ended
up with nice looking flowering plants. Unfortunately,
no pumpkins grew from
the flowers. Where did I go
wrong? Alex
Dear Alex,
Its not you; pumpkins are notorious for pollination challenges (as are
squash, watermelon, cucumbers and cantaloupe).

taste and are a classic
ingredient for a proper
beurre blanc sauce. I am
not trying to sound pompous in anyway, but substituting onions for shallots
would devastate the original integrity of this beautiful sauce.
For my health conscious readers, this is not
one for daily eating. This
is a splurge. A divulgement into the model of
classic French cooking, if
you will. This is a chance
for you to raise your glass
in honour of the likes of
Julia Child, Jacques Pepin,
or any other French Chef
that you hold dear to your
heart. Enjoy and bon appetite!
Beurre Blanc
Beurre Blanc is a French
term for White Butter
Sauce. Excellent on fish or
vegetables!
2 shallots, minced
1/4 cup white wine
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2-3 tbsp whipping cream
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
into small pieces
Salt and fresh cracked
pepper, to taste

1. Add shallots, wine


and vinegar to a medium
size pan and place over
high heat. Bring to a boil
and reduce the liquid in
the pan to one tablespoon.
2. Stir in the whipping
cream.
3. Reduce the heat to
very low and start whisking the mixture while adding the cold butter pieces
one at a time. Make sure
that the butter is melting
slowly so you can whisk it
into a sauce consistency
- if it melts too quickly it
will just be a greasy mess.
If it is melting too quickly,
remove the pan from the
heat for a minute or two
and whisk it constantly
before returning it to
the low heat to continue
whisking in the remaining
butter. The addition of the
cream in the previous step
will act as a stabilizer to
help you to whip air into
the butter to become a
sauce.
4. When all the butter has been incorporated,
season to taste with salt
and pepper and serve immediately.
Makes approximately
3/4 cup.

Ag Report... Increasing Efficiency Of Applied Nitrogren


By ELMER KASKIW

here has been an increase in the number


of products now available
for increasing the efficiency of applied nitrogen.
In Manitoba, we traditionally presume the efficiency of nitrogen applied
for crops is 40-60%. This
means that 40-60% of the
nitrogen is not taken up by
the crop with losses attributed to volatilization, deep
leaching, denitrification
and some being temporarily tied up or immobilized
by soil microbes to decompose straw.
Crops will typically
obtain the balance of their
nitrogen needs from residual soil N, which can be
a result of previous pulse
crops and the mineralization of organic matter. Additives or enhancers do not
increase yields over traditional nitrogen products
but under loss conditions
will minimize those losses
so more is available for the
crop. There are three main
types of enhanced efficiency products based on their
activity.
Nitrification inhibitors: delays the conversion
of ammonia-form nitrogen (anhydrous ammonia,
urea and the urea fraction

of UAN solution) to the nitrate form which is vulnerable to leaching and denitrification.
Urease
inhibitors:
delays the breakdown of
the urea molecule into the
ammonia form (NH3) by
inhibiting activity of the
urease enzyme. It is this
free ammonia form that is
vulnerable to volatilization
loss from surface applications or causes seed-burn
when seed-placed.
Controlled release :
Urea form N can be bound
to molecules that are degraded slowly or enclosed
within coatings. The most
common is ESN urea (440-0), enclosed within a
polymer coating that allows urea to diffuse out.
The products ESN and
Agrotain have been available on the Prairies for
some time and have been
demonstrated to provide
protection against losses.
The NBPT and DCD containing products Agrotain
Plus and SuperU are relatively new, but both inhibitors are effective. Ammonium thiosulphate has
been evaluated as a nitrifi cation and volatilization
inhibitor with some success in North Dakota studies but without affect in
Canadian studies. It would

be considered inferior to
Agrotain in terms of reducing volatilization losses. NServe (nitrapyrin) was registered in the past but very
little if any was marketed in
western Canada. Instinct
is a newer formulation of
nitrapyrin and is currently
undergoing extensive testing.
Historically in Manitoba, growers have achieved
improvements in nitrogen
efficiency through application placement and
timing management. Fall
broadcast and incorporated urea based products
have a relative efficiency of
40% while fall subsurface
banded has an efficiency
of 50%. Spring broadcast
and incorporated is also
rated at 50% while spring
subsurface banded is most
effi cient at 60%. The temporary loss of nitrogen
to immobilization is also
minimized by these same
management
practices
where we have the place-

ment of nitrogen in a tight


band separate from the
crop residue.
The dilemma for the
grower is that when application timing and placement are optimum and the
weather is not conducive
to loss, these enhanced
products will provide no
yield advantage over traditional N sources.
If the placement and
timing is not optimum and
conditions are excessively
wet causing loss of nitratenitrogen, the cost of the
products offering nitrification inhibition or slow release are beneficial. Similarly for surface broadcast
urea or UAN, if rainfall is
not received after application, the protection of
NBPT containing products
like Agrotain is warranted.

harvest of the vast majority


of the soybeans grown in
the Parkland region.
The yield range seems
to be coming in at between
30-50 bushels per acre with
an average likely to come
in somewhere around the
40-45 bushel mark which
would be a record high
average for this relatively
new crop in South Parkland.
Th ese higher yields
have been a result of some
significant advancement in
higher yielding early maturing varieties and what
has been an ideal growing season for soybeans.
Excellent emergence, well
timed and frequent rains,
Growing Degree Days that
have surpassed long term
averages and an extended
frost free fall allowed for

most varieties to realize


their full yield potential.
These yields are what
are needed to make soybeans an alternative profitable cropping option in
most rotations.
This past summer the
Western Manitoba Soybean Adaptation Variety
Evaluation had several
new early and mid-early
varieties that were being evaluated all of which
reached physiological maturity by mid September.
It would seem that
with this additional effort
being put into variety development it will be only a
matter of time before soybeans do indeed become
an even more significant
part of our Parkland crop
rotation.

CARD OF THANKS
On behalf of the Mary Nielsen Family, we say thank you to all the close family and friends
that gave Mom constant love and support during her journey through life, particularly during the
autumn and end-of-life phases. Our thanks and appreciation go to:
Marys late mother Eva (English) and father, Harvey (of Scottish descent) who taught her the
strong values of: family, proper language and conduct, the difference between right and wrong,
common sense, frugal waste not, want not thinking, a strong work ethic, and encouraged her
love and joy of music, the outdoors, humour and fun. Her older sister, Annie, for being her best
friend and next door neighbour, who along with her brothers, John and Clarence, assisted her
after she was widowed by calling and/or dropping daily to ensure her well being, pick up her
mail, and assist with anything she needed. Rapid City Lions Club for providing a motorized
cart to enable Mary to easily move around her yard and the town to continue gardening, visiting
friends, and shopping in her latter days in Rapid City, and then to use in Minnedosa TVM.
Ken McNeill, as the son she never had, who did maintenance of her Rapid City house and
yard year round, and Jean Greenwood, like another daughter, who did cooking, and baking of
special treats, for Mary. Both made her part of their family circle by including her in meals on
some special holidays, sending cards for every special occasion, and many calls and visits. Garry
Nielsen for being part of our family circle like a son, after Mary and Victor ran a farm with Garrys
parents, and grandparents during his toddler years; he also stayed with Mary and Vic during a
summer he worked near Rapid City.
Home Care co-ordinator, Evelyn Neufeld, and her many staff, that provided daily home care
needs in Rapid City and then Minnedosa. Staff from the Brandon Mental Health Services for
the elderly, who provided support services of counselling, plus weekly visits and shopping trips.
Mary always looked forward to the weekly outing for groceries and refreshments with the guys.
Myrna Kartanson for welcoming Mary as her next door neighbour at Town View Manner
(TVM), checking to ensure Mary was all right, and providing meals and assistance as needed.
Lisa Nelstrop, her English girl, who provided laundry and cleaning to Mary in TVM; then after
Mary moved to PCH did laundry and pick up of any necessary items. Lisas English accent reminded Mary of her mother.
Minnedosa Hospital staff who worked diligently to save her life and get Mary back on her
feet in 2009, including Drs. Khandelwal and Bishay and nurses, such as, Susan Hyde, Teresa
Wareham, and Janice Dalton.
Minnedosa Personal Care Home staff - her girls and guys - for their labour of love of constant care and monitoring of Marys condition, especially as her End of Life Journey began in
May of 2013. The daily communication to the West Wing nurses and aides, and frequent discussions with the Charge Nurses, Melissa Griffin, Siobahn Meyer, and then Judi Hattersley, reassured us of Marys changing conditions. Particular appreciation to Holly Morrison for taking
time to educate us on medical terminology/processes, to be a friend who would listen to our
concerns, and offer suggestions on what options were available to assist mom medically, emotionally and cognitively as her physical well being and memory declined. Also for Hollys assistance along with Sandy Opruk to coordinate the disposal of moms clothing and wheelchair for
proceeds to be donated the PCH Patio Project. Brenda Hales and her activities staff for including
mom in as many activities as possible, as her ability to participate decreased; also for finding her
Zuki (stuffed bear) that mom deeply loved for comfort and who is resting with her now. A special thanks to Dr. Dan Onyshko for thinking outside the box to come up with alternative ways to
continually help treat Mom, extend her life, and maintain her in comfort, since she didnt want,
or could not have, some procedures.
Minnedosa Funeral Services and United Church for guiding us through the difficult process
of making decisions and arrangements for Moms final journey from life. Our deep thanks to Rev.
Natasha Pearen, for working with us to develop a funeral service based on a theme of love and
thanksgiving that captured the essence of Mary. Also the UCW ladies for the delicious lunch that
followed the service.
Special thanks to Pallbearers Bryan Bollman, Roy Forsyth, Lloyd Hopley, Ken McNeill, Garry
Nielsen, and Ted Wright, who immediately responded to serve for Mary, and Honourary Pallbearers Neale Daniels, David Wainwright and Harvey Wright, who were willing, but unable to
serve.
A heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation to Brenda Taylor, our Minnedosa mom, during
this difficult time, who provided us a home away from home. Brenda also catered a delicious
cold plate supper in the 50 Plus Activities Centre for our closest family and friends to gather for
fellowship following Moms burial in Rapid City; she was ably assisted by Bernice Olson, Celeste
Cashmen (Vancouver), Ihros Hopley (Virden) and dear friend, Holly Morrison.
Last and best my deep personal thanks and gratitude to my husband and partner moms
Wally who has brought so much support and joy into her life since 1996, and has been one of
her and my angels feeding her, teasing her, kissing her and being a son for her to love.
Thank you to those who were present for moms celebration of life, who sent regrets for being
unable to attend, who sent expressions of love and support from far and wide, and addressed us
personally in Minnedosa. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love displayed for
mom and ourselves. We dreaded Thanksgiving since mom passed before our intended visit, but
instead we have been wrapped in thoughts of care and support of all of you. Thank you for celebrating, remembering (and maybe learning more about) mom, sharing our love for and pride in
her; and enjoying fun, humour and good times with her. You all shared some part in her life to
get her to over 89 years of ages, which is amazing in itself. It took a village to get mom through
the rest of her life after losing my dad, followed by her independence and freedom in 1988, and
increasing health challenges.
She is now at peace surrounded by my dad, family and friends amongst the tall fir trees, and
outdoors of the Rapid City Cemetery. With sincere love and gratitude for your role in her life, her
daughter - Eroca (Waymen) and son-in-law, Wally (Mack), and other close family members.

MARLA JEAN ALEXANDER


MAY 12TH, 1955
SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2015
It is with heartfelt sadness, that
the family of Marla Jean Alexander announces her passing
at the Brandon General Hospital at the age of 60 years old.
Marla was born in Brandon,
MB and was the second of five
children born to Jim and Joyce
Alexander. In 1961, the family
moved to Minnedosa where
her father, Jim, purchased the
local drugstore, which became known
as Alexander Pharmacy. Marla attended Minnedosa North
School in her early years and then attended high school at
Minnedosa Collegiate Institute. After completing Grade 12,
Marla moved to Winnipeg where she worked for Manitoba Public Insurance for a number of years.
Marla later moved to Winkler, where she met the love of
her life, Ron Chaput, through the A.A. program. They married
in 1986 and took up residence just across the border in Walhalla, N.D. with their little sheltie dog, Amber, who was just like
a child to them. After Rons retirement, they bought a second
home in Minnedosa to be closer to Marlas parent, grandparents (Cliff & Rita Wiig), eleven nieces and nephews, and her two
sisters, Gerri and Patti. Marla and Ron were married for eleven wonderful years until Rons sudden passing in December
of 1997. After Rons passing, Marla moved back to Minnedosa
permanently and eventually began work as a Health Care Aide
at the Minnedosa Personal Care Home. She loved her job and
was so kind and compassionate to all of the residents. She left
a little piece of herself with those she had contact with. Affectionately known as Muk, Auntie LaLa, and of course, Marla,
everyone who knew her found out quickly what a kind-hearted
and caring person she truly was very genuine, nothing faked
or forced. She always put everyone before herself.
Marla loved her pets or should we say her children. Amber, Abbe, Ally, and Dee as well as taking in other animals that
needed a caring home. Marlas heart was as big as her smile.
Left to mourn Marla is her dear mother, Joyce Alexander, her
sisters, Gerri (Ron) Hodgson and Patti Woodcock all of Minnedosa, brothers Christopher (Janice) Alexander of Altona, MB
and Patrick Alexander of Winkler, MB, along with 11 nieces and
nephews, and 16 great nieces and nephews.
The funeral service for Marla was held on Wednesday,
September 23rd, 2015 at the Calvary Church in Minnedosa,
with Pastor Don Dragan officiating. Interment followed at
the Minnedosa Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can
be made to the Minnedosa Calvary Church, 52 2nd Ave. S.W.,
Minnedosa, MB a church and its members who were very
dear to Marlas heart.
Do Not Grieve For Me
Dont grieve for me, for I am free,
Im following paths God made for me
I took his hand, I heard him call,
then turned, and bid farewell to all.
I could not stay another day
to laugh, to love, to sing, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found peace at close of play.
And if my parting left a void,
then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened deep with sorrow,
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow.
My lifes been full I savored much,
Good friends, good times,
A loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Dont lengthen it now with grief
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wants me now he set me free.

OBITUARIES
MARY E. NIELSEN
JULY 26TH, 1926 SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2015
Mary Elizabeth Nielsen (nee Wright) was born to Harvey and Eva
(Davis) Wright in Hamiota and was the great-niece of Sir John A.
MacDonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada (brother to her
Grandmother, Margaret Wright (nee MacDonald).
Mary had a love of family and enjoyed life in Hamiota with
her parents and siblings, including her Aunt Mary Smith (Wright)
for whom she was named. Her family relocated to a farm south
of Rapid City in 1938 where Mary completed her grade nine at
Wallace School. Mary loved being outdoors with her father and
brothers.
Mary began her working life by assisting farm families with
their housework. She met Victor Nielsen at a dance where he played
the violin with the old time music orchestra. She and Victor married on
December 8th, 1944, and moved to Pettapiece where they worked on local farms. After leaving
the farm, they spent a brief period in Rivers, and then moved to Rapid City in 1950.
After her daughter, Carlynn (Eroca) started school, at age five in 1953, Mary returned to work
in the Rapid City cafes and convenience stores. Mary grew a large vegetable garden and berry
patches, and preserved much of the harvest for winter. She enjoyed their spacious yard, and they
filled it with spruce trees, and many flower gardens. She enjoyed homemaking, cooking, baking,
sewing, knitting, and crocheting.
Mary had a close and loving relationship with her family, particularly her daughter, Carlynn
(Eroca), who she said was the best thing that ever happened to me. She was a people persongenerous and giving. The door was always open and room at the table for coffee, and/or food, or
just conversation, as well as for any animal that her family or friends brought to her home, especially her Lab dogs, and later the cats who wandered in.
Mary was not religious in the conventional sense, but walked the talk of being generous, loving, kind and understanding to, and in service to people. She loved and respected not only those
who were in accordance with her way of thinking, but also loved people enough to allow them to
follow their own path. She modelled the golden rule of do unto others as you would have them
do unto you.
On September 30th, 1967 Marys daughter, Carlynn (Eroca) was married to Lance Waymen in
their Rapid City home and after their marriage of 13 years ended in 1980; Eroca remained to work
and live in Vancouver.
Following 43 years of marriage, Marys husband, Victor, died of cancer in 1986. Following his
death, Mary spent her biggest holiday for 3 weeks out west with her daughter in Vancouver.
Upon her return home, new health challenges, forced her to give up the job she loved of being
with, and serving people. Mary was able to keep her independence in her Rapid City home mainly through assistance from her siblings Annie Rollins, John Wright and Clarence Wright (wife,
Helen); in-laws Joyce and Floyd Campbell; and neighbours Ken McNeill and Jean Greenwood,
along with Home Care.
In 1996, Mary had a knee replaced, plus the Rapid City Lions Club provided her with a motorized cart to provide more mobility.
On her 70th birthday in 1996, Mary met her future Yankee son-in-law, Wally Mack for the
first time. In 1997, she travelled to Chicago with Eroca to celebrate Christmas and meet Wallys
immediate family.
In 1998, Mary visited Vancouver to assist her daughter in preparation for her wedding. With
marriage to Wally Mack, Mary became a grandmother and a great-grandmother. Due to declining health conditions requiring more Home Care, Mary left her Rapid City home she loved after
52 years and moved into Townview Manor in Minnedosa on March 8th, 2003. She quickly adapted to her surroundings, and the social environment. Mary enjoyed the weekly coffee mornings,
and dinners followed by games, such as, bingo, crocinole, shuffleboard, horseracing card game,
and cribbage.
In 2009, Mary suffered a life-threatening illness which sent her to Minnedosa Hospital. It was
determined that Mary needed to be panelled for Minnedosa Personnel Care Home (PCH). While
waiting to get into PCH, Mary purchased a motorized wheelchair for freedom and mobility at the
hospital and PCH.
On November 27th, 2009, Mary moved to PCH and although Mary had never wanted to go
there, within a few short months, she was calling it home, and attended all the games, activities
and musical performances, and especially enjoyed those that included her niece, Connie and
Wayne Sandstrom, and their daughter, Sherri. Marys love for music originated with her time
spent singing hymns with her mom on the farm, as well as the Old Time and country music her
husband played.
Marys terrific love of people, sense of humour and friendly smile put people at ease and
made her easily accessible to many, including the nurses and aides. She would often tease them
by gently tugging hair, asking them to take her pills (its your turn), being taught to stick out her
tongue as a greeting by one of her aides, and beamed with joy and happiness when her kids
would call her or send her a faxed letter with little smiley faces on them.
Marys End of Life Journey began in May of 2013 when her health started to deteriorate.
Eroca and Wallys visits from Arkansas became more frequent, with constant communication via
phone and/or faxed letters. Marys reputation for bouncing back from adversity inspired Dr. Dan
Onyshko and PCH staff to refer to Mary as the Energizer Bunny. Each time she would fall down,
she would bounce back up; however, now the beat of her drum was not as loud as before.
Early on the morning of September 24th, 2015, Mary passed away peacefully and comfortably
in her sleep. Her immediate family and PCH family were shocked and saddened by this sudden
and unexpected loss. Funeral services were held at Minnedosa United Church on October 1st,
2015 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Natasha Pearen officiating, and followed by a luncheon. Contributions to the Manitoba Lung Association were requested in lieu of flowers. Interment at Rapid City
was followed by a cold plate supper at the 50+ Centre for close family and friends.
Mary was predeceased in death by her husband, Victor; parents, Eva and Harvey Wright;
sister, Annie Rollins, and brothers, John and Clarence Wright (Helen), and her companion, Art
Dick. Mary is survived by her beloved daughter, Eroca (Carlynn) Waymen and son-in-law Wally
Mack; sister, Marie Hubbell, sister-in-law Joyce Campbell; and two grandsons and their wives,
five great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

DOROTHY JANE SYSLAK


NOVEMBER 12TH, 1949 SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2015
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our wife and
mother, Dorothy. Dorothy passed away with family at her side at
the Minnedosa Palliative Care Unit after a difficult battle with
brain cancer.
Mom was born in Minnedosa, Manitoba the third of six children to Marshall and Winifred Swift. She grew up on the farm in
the community of Bethany and attended school at Bethany and
Minnedosa Collegiate, where she completed grade 12. In 1968
she married her one and only true love, partner and best friend
Larry and they eventually settled on the farm in Clanwilliam. There
she dedicated her life to family and raised two daughters Tammy and
Theresa (Teri).
Mom enjoyed the outdoors, sewing, gardening, picking berries and being
up north at the cabin but her true passion was quilting. She always made sure there was one for
a new baby in the family or a special new couple on their wedding day. Although many of Moms
hobbies were things to help her relax on her own, she was always ready for a family game of cards
or scrabble, ice fishing, curling, camping with friends at a fiddling festival and most of all a social
night of dancing. Mom never missed an old time waltz or polka to Maple Sugar.
When Larry retired from his career, Dorothy didnt think it was a good idea to just sit around,
so together they purchased the Clanwilliam General Store and brought back to life a community
meeting place for coffee, lunch or to get your mail. After nine years, Dorothy reluctantly passed
the torch of running The Store. She found many ways to pass the time again sewing and quilting but also doing special projects for family and friends and her new special friends in Prince
George. Mom wasnt keen on travelling far but did make meaningful trips to see family and
friends in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Prince George. The family made their dream vacation to
Australia in February of 2014, where mom did mention she could definitely live there.
Mom was a dedicated member of the Erickson Legion Ladies Auxiliary for 38 years where she
received Life Membership and the second highest honour, the Meritorious Award on December
3rd, 2014.
Mom will be sadly missed by husband Larry, daughters Tammy and Teri, sister Evelyn (Rod),
brother Ron (Terry), sisters Betty (Bob), Donna (Morley) and little brother David (Dawn), brothers-in-law David (Arla) and Keith (Sandra), nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews,
many cousins and dearly loved friends. She was predeceased by parents Marshall and Winnie,
nephew Scott and sister-in-law Betty.
A service was held on Friday, October 2nd, 2015 at the Erickson Legion Hall. A private interment was held following the service at Clanwilliam Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be
made to your local Hospice or Palliative Care Unit, Minnedosa Palliative Care Services or Clanwilliam Cemetery Perpetual Care Box 146, Clanwilliam, MB R0J 0K0.
Minnedosa Funeral Services in care of arrangements.
