Magician entertains at community supper by Judy Wells

The spring supper and auction has become a tradition in Waskada. The evening is dual purpose - a nig ht to get together and raise funds, enjoy a delicious supper and great entertainment, as well as a night to celebrate and honour with special awards.

Magician, Anders Boulanger mingled with the guests during cocktail hour displaying some of his inter active magic. Boulanger hails from Winnipeg and he has been performing his special brand of magic for 15 years all over Canada, the US and parts of Europe. Recently, he attained the highest earned honour in the professional speaking industry when he was awarded the Certified Sp eaking Designation Award.

There were many silent auction items for the guests to check out and bid on throughout the evening. Following a delicious roast pork supper served by the Evening Circle, there were a few presentations:

• Margie Hannah, representing the Waskada and Area Chamber of Commerce, presented a cheque for $5,00 0 to Roland Hainsworth, who accepted on behalf of the Waskada & Area Recreation Centre;

• Don Wickham represented the Turtleview Drifters. He said since there was a lack of snow this past winter, the Turtleview Drifters had a sur - plus of funds. He presented a cheque for $2,500 to Roland Hainsworth for the Waskada & Area Recreati on Centre.

This annual supper is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate individuals who contribute greatly to the ir community, often going above and beyond the task at hand. Fran Dickinson and Pat Temple were on hand to introduce the recipient of t he volunteer Appreciation Award:

“This year’s recipient is a very deserving Donna Miller. Donna was very reluctant to accept this awa rd. She said ‘All I do is a bit for the church.’ Well that’s not quite accurate! Donna was a CGIT leader and 4-H Young People’s leader for y ears. Being very musical she has played

Tundra supports new Recreation Centre Representatives from Tundra Oil & Gas Partnership were on hand Thursday, April 9, to present a $200,000 cheque, on behalf of the company, to the Waskada & Area Recreational Facility Committee.

by Judy Wells “Since its inception in

1857 James Richardson & Sons have had a strong belief in giving back to the communities in which they serve,” said Tim Howell, vice-president of Operations for Tundra Oil & Gas Partnership.

Howell was speaking at a luncheon fundraiser on April 9 at the old Waskada Arena, which will soon shut its doors for the last time. The fundraiser was for the new facility to be known as Waskada & Area Recreation Centre.

Jason Wickham, new rink committee member, welcomed everyone and expressed his appreciation for the large crowd on hand.

“Welcome and thank you for coming to what maybe will be the last barbecue held at this rink. We’ll miss the old rink but it’s time to move on. I’d also like to welcome Tundra who contacted us with wishes to make a cheque presentation. They were very helpful through the application process. Nicole McGregor is to be commended for all her work in that process as well,” said Wickham.

Wickham introduced Tim Howell, “a former standout defensemen with the Waskada Comets.”

Howell had a bit of a laugh at this statement but did confirm that his last year in senior hockey was with the Waskada Comets in 1985 and that Lyle Spence was his defense partner (and that Lyle car - ried him all year). Howell also remembers when he was with Killarney and they came to Waskada to play. They had fear in their hearts to face Mr. Spence or Mr. Trewin in the corners.

“Seriously though, I’d like to congratulate the committee and the com - munity for all your efforts

in building the new facil - ity,” said Howell.

Howell continued by introducing some of the Tundra team: Dave Jordan - Operations Manager; Jeff Poppel - Surface Land Representative; Chris Masson - Surface Land Manager; Cam Turnbull - Production Superintendent; Murray Stewart - Senior Workovers and Maintenance; Jason Lewis - Surface Land Rep and Brent Lesy - Production Foreman.

He continued by giving some history about Tundra which is a pri - vately owned Manitoba company with offices in Virden, Winnipeg and Calgary. It’s core prop - erties are located in south - western Manitoba. In 1980 when Tundra com - menced operations they had purchased Ken Lee’s assets and had some prop - erties around Goodlands as well. At that time they were producing 100 bar - rels of oil/day.

Since that time and the recent purchase of EOG and the amalgamation with Red Beds Resources, Tundra operates 2,600 oil wells which produce 30,000 barrels oil/day.

“We have a good team of people and we plan on being here a long, long time. Tundra is the largest oil producer in Manitoba and we employ 250 peo - ple,” added Howell.

Howell again con - gratulated the rink com - mittee and the community on the huge undertaking of raising funds and get - ting the new facility built.

“It takes tremendous volunteer effort but the new facility will be the center piece of your com - munity and provide a great quality of life. On that note, I’d like to pre - sent, on behalf of Tundra, a cheque for $200,000 to the committee for the Waskada & Area

Recreation Centre,” con - cluded Howell.

This was followed by an appreciative round of applause.

“Thank you so much on behalf of the commit - tee. Be assured we’ll put the funds to good use,” said Wickham.

Roland Hainsworth, rink committee member, reiterated his gratitude to Tundra. He also thanked Jason Wickham and Nicole McGregor for their efforts in this initiative.

“We hope to have the new rink open by mid- October. It’s time to move on,” he concluded.

Magician entertains at community supper by Judy Wells (Continued from Page 1) for the Contemporary Singers and the Southwest Men’s Choir, which required a lot of dedication of both time and talent. Donna has been the Waskada Church organist for many, many years which is also a huge commitment. She is called upon to play for funerals, not only at Waskada but to other areas as well like Deloraine, Lyleton and Pierson. She also plays for services in the Care Homes in the area. She is also a member of our Evening Circle, serving most of the executive positions at one time or another. She is always the event organizer and always over seeing to make sure that everything is done and ready for the events they cater. Donna is a ‘silent doer.’ She does so many things that people don’t realize she has done, and always in her quiet manner, and always with a smile. Donna’s husband, Don, was a Lion’s member with the Waskada Lions Club, and she still to this day cares about the goings on of the Club and offers to help in any way she can. Donna is very much a community orientated person. “Volunteering is the rent you pay for space on this earth.” We feel Donna has paid a lot of rent!”

Sterling Jolly and James Shukin, Councillors for the RM of Brenda-Waskada, pre - sented Donna with the Volunteer Appreciation plaque and clock. Donna thanked everyone in her usual gentle and quiet manner.

The evening concluded with the announcements of the lucky “winners” of the silent auction items and visiting.

Odds & Ends by Judy Wells Wow! What a busy week. It seems there is a slight lull between winter and spring activities, and then look out! This week at the Festival it was Vocal and Visual Arts. Two weeks done already! Donʼt fret though if you havenʼt been able to attend yet, there is still a fun-filled week with Speech Arts and Dance. Check out the adjudicator profiles in this issue. And mark your calendar for the Hi-Lites Concert to be held Sunday, April 26, at 2:00 p.m.

• • • Since this week was busy and full of stories and pictures, not everything could fit in this issue. Look forward in upcoming issues for a story about the 1975-76 Royals hockey team who will be inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame this fall. Also, an article about the Southwest Prolife Conference held in Killarney last weekend, an article abut Nathan Nasby, an indie songwriter and singer from Deloraine, who recently received an invitation to perform at the Canada Music Festival in May and an article about Jillian Crowe and the special hockey award she won. And there will be more by then, too, Iʼm sure. Itʼs great how there always seems to be something to celebrate in our community!

• • • You will find an article about Don Dietrichʼs “Anything For Hockey” epic rink experience. It was a phenomenal time filled with many memories and a huge surprise that he can finally talk about. While the group was just skating around on the mountain top rink, a helicopter came over the mountain and lo and behold. . .the Stanley Cup was dangling from beneath it! Don says everyone was just ecstatic and couldnʼt get to the cup fast enough. If you want to see more about the Anything For Hockey go to Molsonʼs site - or to you tube anything for hockey as well as sportsnet site. Videos of five of the members can be found as well as a four part feature about the whole experience.

• • • The Waskada & Area Recreation Centre got a huge boost last week when Tundra Oil & Gas Partnership generously supported them with a $200,000 cheque. As the article states, James Richardson & Sons have always lived up to their belief of giving back to the communities in which they serve.

• • • And way to go Deloraine Sr. Royals! They are two games away from a second Manitoba Cup! They play Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. at the MTS Ice Plex and if they win, go to the finals on Sunday, April 19, at 3:00 p.m. Good luck, Royals!

• • • A farewell was held for TD Canada Trust branch manager Brad Missinne on Friday, April 10. Brad has been promoted and is moving to the Brandon branch. He is passing the reins onto Cathy Graham. Congratulations to you both!

• • • Thanks to sunny skies and dry conditions there are all kinds of ball practices taking place these days. Watch future issues for schedules.

Southwest Manitoba Health Auxiliaries meet by Francis Parker

Deloraine hosted the Assiniboine SW Region MHAA Regional Meeting on Tuesday at the Mountview Centre. Sticking to their theme of “ EMS Angels Who Walk On Earth ”, guest speakers from both the Deloraine EMS as well as the Deloraine Fire Department were invited to speak. The first guest speakers were Bev Huys and Mike Edwards, represent ing Deloraine EMS.

At the top of the discussion topics for EMS was the new stretcher that the MHAA has been fundraising for. Somewhat shocking for both the EMS workers, and those in attendance, was the fact the cost for the stretcher system, which was pre - viously understood to be around $19,000, was, in fact, going to be about $31,000. There are charging and safety modifications that need to be made to the ambulance to accommodate the new stretcher but it wasn’t totally clear w hy the correct price was not communicated properly in the beginning. One of the most common injuries to EMS and healthcare workers are back inju - ries, so this new stretcher system will greatly reduce the effort it takes to safely move and load a patient. A stretcher, equipment and patient can easily add up to 400 pounds or more.

Huys highlighted how fortunate Deloraine is, and always has been, to have a solid volunteer base, wh ich enables them to have almost 100% continuous coverage. When Bev and Mike come off their 96 hour coverage period - tha t is 12 hours on shift and then another 12 hours on-call, volunteers take over. Most communities are not as fortunate as De loraine is to have that

extended coverage when the EMS workers’ shifts end. Huys and Edwards are very active in the community in a variety of other ways. S ome of the activities they are involved in are putting on a Farm Safety Program, a Water Safety Course, Child Car Seat Safety Progr am and a Home Health Safety Inspection. Huys also collects toys to distribute to children in the hospital or for those being taken by ambulance. In her 13 or so yea r career, she believes the number of toys distributed is in the thousands.

The second guest speaker of the morning was Deloraine’s Fire Chief, Jerry Redden. He opened by apolo gizing for his presentation as he was running on about two hours sleep. The previous night the Department was out near Waskada dealing with a transformer fire. The Deloraine Fire Department is part of a very large mutual-aid area. Communities in the area can call on any of the other departments for assistance. The communiti es in Deloraine’s area are Boissevain, Minto, Elgin, Hartney, Pierson, Melita and Waskada. Redden said that because of the number of members and skills of the Del oraine Department, Deloraine seldom needs to call other depart - ments in but are more likely to be called out to help another community. The Fire Department and EMS are often involved in the same incidents and need to work together often, especially on motor vehicle accidents. Of the EMS members, Redden said, “They are a very good group of people to work with, no doubt about it”. The Deloraine Department currently runs at about 25 members, with a waiting list of people interested. A lthough there are people waiting to join, the Department tries to maintain the 25 member level. For each new member brought on, it costs the Department at least $2,50 0 to outfit a member. The gear only has a 10 year life so it has to be continuously replaced. The members are made up of Level 1 & 2 firefighters as well as a number of regular members. Redden says he is very pleased with the abilities and dedication of the current members. The Deloraine group does a lot of fundraising on their own, b uying items such as the jaws of life and new trucks. When local families suffer a loss, the Deloraine Fire Department also tries to put on a fundraiser for the fam ily as soon as possible after a fire. At one time the Department had one female firefighter but at present there are none.

It is evident from hearing the guest speakers just how lucky Deloraine is, and always has been, with the coverage received from EMS and the Fire Department. The presentations highlighted the importance of the volunteer base for these two groups . PHOTOS/ FRANCIS PARKER

New Crematorium set to open by Glen Kirby

The owner of a new crematorium opening on the outskirts of Souris says his neighbours are supportive and he believes any controversy about the operation has been defused.

“Some people did approach the RM (former Rural Municipality of Glenwood) with concerns when they fir st heard about it,” says Richard Gordon. “I phoned them and met with them before we went to the RM for approval and explained that this type of operation takes a lot of paperwork and a lot of regulations.”

Gordon has been working on the project since July 2014 and expects to be open within a month in a ne w building adja - cent to the Souris-Glenwood Cemetery, one kilometre north of town on Highway 250.

“We knew it would take a while to get all the necessary approvals,” says Gordon. “But there have been some unforeseen delays in getting hydro and natural gas to the site.”

In addition to the utilities inspections, Gordon must obtain environmental approvals from the provin ce of Manitoba and an operating license from the Funeral Board of Manitoba.

Funeral Board Administrator Denise Carriere says Gordon will be granted a license once Manitoba Cons ervation deter - mines the emissions from the cremation chamber, called a retort, are within operating guidelines.

Gordon’s retort was built in Florida and he will be travelling there within the next few weeks for t raining, although he is no stranger to the business.

“I ran the crematorium at Rosewood Memorial in Brandon from 1996 until 2009,” says Price. His father, also Richard Gordon, worked in the funeral business from 1960-1981 and purchased Rosewood Memorial Chapel and Gar dens in 1967.

With cremations more popular today than traditional burials, and the nearest crematoriums located in Brandon and Minnedosa, Gordon had been looking for the opportunity to start-up a service in Souris.

“When the property next to the cemetery became available, it fit right in,” he says, adding the cost of getting the business up and running will be “in the high six figures.”

Former RM Councillor Leslie Chudley supported Gordon’s rezoning request last fall and says any new b usiness in the community is welcome.

“It’s good to have different types of businesses,” says Chudley. “ It’s a suitable location and he did a lot of preliminary work before asking for the rezoning.”

“I have letters of support from nearby residents,” says Gordon. In anticipation of the amalgamation between the RM of Glenwood and the Town of Souris late last year , Gordon says he

also obtained support from Town Councillors. The Funeral Board currently lists 17 crematoriums in Manitoba and Carriere says it’s often that a ne w retort comes into

operation even though the number of cremations performed has been steadily climbing. She says cremat ions are a cost- effective alternative to a funeral and continue to gain in popularity as funeral plot space becomes an issue in many com - munities.

Gordon says he is working part-time with Kowalchuk’s Funeral Home and believes area residents will a ppreciate the opportunity to use local cremation services.

An open house is planned in May for interested residents to tour the new operation.

Royals report by Doug Whiteside, man - ager

Royals hand NCHL Champs Game 1 defeat -

Friday, April 10 Final score: Deloraine

Royals 5 - Grandview Comets 2

The Deloraine Royals began their defense of the Senior A Provincial Championship with a con - vincing 5-2 win over the North Central League Champion Grandview Comets Friday night in Rivers. Cory More was the offensive star for the Royals turning in a gutsy performance and recording the hat trick. He was fol - lowed close behind by line - mates, Jason Swyripa with 4 points, and Brad Twordik with 3 points. Grandview jumped out to an early first period lead but period two belonged to the Royals as they registered three goals to take a 3-1 lead after two. More’s first goal came on the powerplay,�assisted by Brad Twordik and Ryan Adams, at the 15:20�mark of the�second period.�The Royals took advantage of the only other powerplay opportunity they had when More got his second of the night, assisted by Jason Swyripa and Joel Whi t e s ide , �w i th �3 :33 remaining in the second. Soon after�this Tanner Waldvogel, one of the Royals’ affiliate players�ex - tended�the lead, scoring from Swyripa and Adams. Deloraine came out in the third period and wasted no time showing that they would not sit on a slim lead as More completed his hat trick�14 seconds into�the final period. Jason Swyripa�rounded out�the Royals’ scoring at 13:23 of the third period as he con - verted a nice 2 on 1 pass

from Twordik. The Comets got one back with 8 min - utes to play but the Royals successfully played out the clock to take the first of their pool preliminary games. Grandview took the only two minor penalties of the game and the Royals capitalized on both with a couple of powerplay goals. Royals’�goaltender Cody Matthewson was solid in net. Deloraine will now take on the Beausejour Beavers, the wildcard rep - resentative from the Manitoba Senior Hockey League on Sunday night, April 12 in Portage. Game time is 6:30 p.m. The Royals are grateful for the second straight year to have been able to enlist Blaine Jarvis and Tanner Waldvogel of the Gladstone Lakers as their two affiliate players�in this Tournament.

Final score: Deloraine Royals 9 - Beausejour Beavers 3

Despite running into another hot goalie, the flood gates finally opened

and the Deloraine�Royals skated away with a 9-3 vic - tory in their second prelimi - nary game of the Provincial A Tournament.�

The Royals opened the scoring on a powerplay goal by Brad Twordik, assisted by Tanner Waldvogel and Blaine Jarvis, at the 7:32 mark of the first period. Beausejour got a powerplay marker of their own 4 minutes later to tie the score at 1-1. Twordik bent the twine again with a minute left in the period to give the Royals a slim 2-1 lead going into the second frame.

Tanner Waldvogel put Deloraine up 3-1 a little over 5 minutes into the sec - ond period assisted by Blaine Jarvis and Joel Whiteside, but once again the Beavers kept pace mak - ing it 3-2 less than a minute later. At 11:25 of the period, Cory More scored, assisted by Ryan Marsh and Brad Twordik, to restore the two goal cushion but Beausejour responded with 1:54 left in the period to make it 4-3 after two. The Royals had constant pres - sure in the Beausejour end through the first two peri - ods but a hot Beausejour goaltender and some odd man rushes from Beausejour which caught the Royals pinching in the opposing end kept the game tight through two periods.

In the third period, the dam finally burst and the Royals wasted no time in recording five straight unanswered goals to salt the game away. Tanner Waldvogel added two more markers for a hat trick on the night while his Gladstone teammate Blaine Jarvis finally solved the Beaver netminder scoring twice. Cory More tallied his second of the night to make the final 9 - 3. Deloraine took two of seven minor penalties called in the game. The win will guar - antee the Royals first place in Pool B and they will play on Saturday, April 18, at 7:30 p.m. at the MTS Iceplex versus the second place team in Pool A, which will be either Minnedosa or Gimli as Morden has also secured first place in Pool A.

Ice causing spring port delays Above average ice buildup and slow melting time has commercial shipping delayed on the east coast.

The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System originally planned on the usual opening date of March 27, 2015. However, the new season hit pause earlier this month when it was announced that they wouldn’t open for business until April 2. The lakes opened on the March 28 last year, and on March 22 in 201 3.

According to researchers, this is the second spring in a row where the level of ice on the Great Lak es is higher than normal. Heavy ice coverage through the spring months makes transportation on the lakes problematic. This has resulted in delays in opening and postponed the movement of grain.

Ice breakers have been brought in to decrease jams and to get commercial movement on the way. The entrance to the Thunder Bay harbour was opened the first week of April. Positive temperatures and p re - cipitation have also been positives for water flow.

Although many locks, canals and now the St. Lawrence Seaway have officially opened, commercial movement remains very slow at this time. The push back in opening dates and slow start to the season has caused some delays and back-ups at the terminals. Railcar yards in Thunder Bay are completely full, resulting in multiple weeks of car allocation cancelled back in the prairies.

Shipments are approximately one month behind the earlier anticipated schedule, however many are expecting action on the water to pick up within the next 10 days. The Thunder Bay Port Authority ha s indicated that the first wave of nearly 20 ships, including the first sea-going vessel, are expected this week.

The authority also stated that volumes loaded will be larger than last year, as the port elevators a re full and a greater than average number of vessels are early in the line up. Improved logistics should pro vide more fluid grain movement in weeks to come, easing some of the downward pressure on crop values in t he country.

How to plant and rake without the ache (NC) Winter takes a toll on your garden, but spring takes a toll on the gardener. It’s true that gar dening season

and back pain often go hand in hand, but positioning your body correctly reduces the strain on muscl es and joints. Use these tips to enjoy your garden to the fullest throughout the season:

• Alternate your tasks. Switch between heavy chores such as digging and lighter, less physically dem anding tasks such as planting.

• Do the “scissors” when you rake. Stand with one leg forward and one leg back when you rake. Switch legs and hands every few minutes.

• Kneel to plant and weed. Constant bending can put strain on your back, neck, leg muscles and joint s, so kneel - ing is recommended. Use kneepads or a kneeling mat (with handles) to minimize the amount of bending required, and to make kneeling more comfortable. Keep your back straight.

• Change positions frequently. Make a point of changing position every 10 to 15 minutes. Move from k neeling to standing, from planting to digging.

• Pace Yourself. A minimum of three brief breaks each hour is recommended. Take a few moments to mov e around, stretch your muscles, have a drink or simply sit and relax. Spread the work over several day s - you will still achieve the same great results.

Once in a lifetime experience by Judy Wells

“If there’s a heaven on earth, I’ve been there,” said Don Dietrich, speaking about a once in a lifetime experience made possible by Molson’s “Anything for Hockey” contest. Dietrich was one of 11 Canadians chosen from 10,000 entries for the chance to play hockey on the epic rink in the Rocky Mountains.

In December, Rogers’ Sports Net, in conjunction with Molson’s Anything for Hockey, sent a camera crew to Deloraine to film Dietrch in action on the ice during a Breakfast Club session.

In February, Dietrich learned he had been chosen for the ‘epic rink’ expe - rience February 28 to March 5. Don’s wife Nadine accompanied him. The first few days was a get-to- know-each-other time.

“You could not ask for a better gro up of people. Hearing their stories and having the common passion

of hockey was great. They didn’t wait to ask if I needed help, they simply picked up my gear and went ahead. I didn’t feel judged, I felt right at home, like a part of a family,” added Dietrich.

The group were able to go to the rink two days straight. Talk about an epic rink, it’s an epic challenge to keep the ice in skating condition. You never know when the wind picks up or several feet of snow would fall. All the equipment needed for the rink and any other supplies (warming tents, bathrooms, mini zam - boni) had to be helicoptered in.

When the time came to bring in the players, the air was electric with excite - ment. Dietrich said the heli - copter ride itself was amaz - ing and then when they crested over the hill and could see the rink, it was phenomenal. Dietrich was overcome with emotion.

“We flew around the rink at lots of angles and Nadine, who was sitting in the tail seat (with virtually floor to ceiling windows) was able to capture a lot of incredible pictures,” said Dietrich.

Dietrich said they had been warned not to jump out of the helicopter and race to the ice - to work into it slowly.

The epic rink is situated at 9,200 feet above sea level. The air is thin, mak - ing any physical activity dif - ficult. For Dietrich, as the oldest participant and deal - ing with Parkinson’s was a challenge. The teams were comprised of five players each and when Dietrich had to rest, they went on playing 4 on 4.

“They were so good about it. They treated me very well. After a time, some of them were grateful for a chance to sit out a few minutes,” joked Dietrich.

Just being there was phe -

nomenal Dietrich said but a surprise awaited them all. They were just skating around having fun when they spotted quite a sight coming over the horizon - dangling from a helicopter was the Stanley Cup!

“What an incredible moment. Talk about a once in a lifetime experience! They had made a special holding device for the Stanley Cup on the ice and they lowered in onto it from the helicopter. We al l took pictures with the cup and met the keeper of the cup - Mike Bolt,” said Dietrich.

Actually, they had to keep Mr. Bolt hidden until the cup came in because Dietrich had met Bolt when the Stanley Cup was brought to Deloraine in 2001.

Another phenomenon that Dietrich noticed was the noise, or lack of it, up on the mountain. In one way, you could hear what people were saying 100 yards away

but the quiet stillness was unforgettable. And even though he was wearing No. 65 sun block, Dietrich said he still got burnt. The tem - perature would go from - 23°C to -3° in no time when the sun came over the mountain and the same thing happened, only in reverse when the sun went down.

“The helicopters only run in the daylight, so we had a set number of hours to be there. We were told that when it was time to go, there would be no dawdling or excuses or whatever, just get in the helicopter as the darkness sets in very quickly,” commented

Dietrich. The group formed a

strong bond from the very start. They did everything together and were naturally saddened when it all came to an end. Thanks to social media, they can still be together at least in cyber space. They have created a group facebook page.

One thing that happened might surprise anyone that knows Dietrich. He was actually speechless most of the time. One person who knew him well asked him what was up with that? Dietrich told him, “Talk to me in a week and I’ll talk your ear off.” He was sim - ply taking it all in.
