For the second time in less than two weeks, a

Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) air am-bulance helicopter was in Minnedosa late Sunday afternoon, causing quite a stir for locals curious as to what was happening. A spokesperson for Manito-ba Health confi rmed that the patient transported to Winnipeg by STARS was from out-of-town and had arrived at Minnedosa Hospital by ground ambu-lance from another health care facility.

Th e bright red STARS helicopter landed west of the local hospital shortly after 5 p.m. and was on the ground for some time be-fore the patient was loaded through the helicopter’s rear doors. In preparation for STARS arrival, local RCMP and EMS closed a portion of 1st Street S.W. in front of the hospital. In April, the Prov-ince of Manitoba signed a service agreement with STARS to provide emer-gency response if needed during the severe spring fl ood. As a result of this agreement, the helicopter

has also been available to assist in other medical transportation incidents which benefi t from air ambulance service, such as Sunday’s incident and the May 24th incident in which STARS was used to transport a woman criti-cally injured in a car acci-dent to Winnipeg. STARS is a charita-ble non-profi t organiza-tion based out of Alberta. Started in 1985, STARS celebrated its 25th anni-versary last year. Its fl eet includes fi ve Eurocopter BK-117s with bases located in Calgary, Edmonton and

Grand Prairie. Th e heli-copters measure 13 metres in length and feature twin 727 hp engines. Normal cruise speed of the STARS air ambulance is 240 km/hr but can reach a maxi-mum speed of 280 km/hr in extreme emergency situations. Since 1985, STARS has fl own over 20,000 missions, including 1,453 missions in 2010. Patient transports by STARS in Manitoba to date have included a heart attack, strokes, trauma incidents and urgent pediatric cases.

During its Annual Gen-eral Meeting Monday

evening, June 6th, nine community members met at TCS to discuss the future of Healthy Active Minnedosa (HAM). Th e emergency meeting was called due to changing program criteria within the government and the fact that these changes must be made quickly if HAM is to retain its government-funded status. To begin the meeting, co-chairwoman, Jackie Nylen, provided a brief

history of HAM, which began as a fi ve-year pilot program through Chronic Disease Prevention Initia-tive (CDPI). Th e ARHA had invited anyone in the community with a vest-ed interest in preventing chronic disease to attend a preliminary meeting and this meeting was attended by 20-30 community mem-bers. Th e result was that Minnedosa would be the headquarters of the pro-gram and the board would advertise for a facilitator. Mandated by CDPI to address activity levels, nutrition levels, and to-

bacco reduction, HAM has addressed all these areas through their con-tinued programs. Th e fi rst initiative for HAM was the healthy canteen at TCS. “Th e thought was we would work from a captive audience, the kids were already there, and we’d off er them healthy food,” Nylen explained. Funded primarily through grants and the ARHA, HAM has partnered with many dif-ferent community groups over the years including the TCS Parent Advisory Council (PAC). While sev-eral of the original board

members were teachers and meetings take place at TCS, HAM board mem-bers want to stress that it is not a school or TCS group, but a group aimed at meet-ing the needs of the en-tire community. Indeed, HAM has helped several residents in all age groups (children, teens, adults and seniors) and the pro-grams have been 90% suc-cessful. Board members re-cently received a letter from Joceyln Dowden, the ARHA liaison for CDPI, informing the group that HAM’s fi ve-year program has reached its end and if the group chooses to continue being funded by the government it must review and meet specifi c criteria of the new national

program called Healthy Together Now (although the group would prob-ably continue operation as HAM). With this program, HAM would be required to address four areas: tobac-co reduction and staying tobacco free, active life-styles, healthy eating and mental well-being. Th e dilemma fac-ing board members and concerned citizens now is meeting the new crite-ria and fi guring out what programs HAM can con-tinue to off er on a reduced budget of $5,000 for three years. Th e fi nal decision must be made and the proper documents submit-ted no later than June 24th; putting HAM board mem-bers in a tight crunch. A review of programs

off ered over the last year, including the Active Teen Sponsorship, After School Munchies, Grocery Store Tour, Bike Safety Rodeo, Blue Light Project, and Skating Oval followed, along with discussion of regarding which programs were considered most im-portant to our community. “We did decide that there was defi nitely in-terest in carrying on, but we will be downsizing to about half of what we’ve done in the last couple of years,” stated HAM Fa-cilitator, Kathy Tomlinson. Th e group must obtain more support from the community. Th is support would come in the form of brief letters from willing partners and community commitments to in-kind or other contributions to the projects. Th ese let-ters must be submitted by June 24th. “If we cannot acquire these commit-ments by this date we will not receive funding and we will be unable to con-tinue,” Tomlinson said. “Th ese changes have come to us with very little notice and have caught us a little off guard. However, we do have some ideas as to how to approach this and are hopeful. In the past we have received many in-kind contributions from the community; it’s just a matter of getting them to “match” what is required for the applications.” Th e HAM board would like to stress that it is open to any new members, partners or contributions and would value any and all support from residents of all ages.

TownBy Darryl Holyk

By DARRYL HOLYK

As I drove down Main Street Sunday morning and noticed the 12 new large plant containers all tipped

over, a small part of me hoped that a huge, strong gust of wind had been the culprit, but I knew better. Th is was another intentional act of mischief carried out by some extremely small-minded people who had noth-ing better to do. While many in our community continue to say they would like to see more fl owers and plants to beau-tify the community during the summer months, there also appears to be someone or a group of people who seem to have something against plants and community beautifi cation. Sadly, this is not the fi rst time that anti-beautifi cation bandits have been active in Minnedosa. A number of years ago, the heavy concrete Main Street planters were tipped over just hours before Commu-nities in Bloom judges were to arrive to evaluate our community for competition. Over the past few years, a number of the community planters and private resi-dences have been targeted and had fl owers and plants removed, destroyed or stolen. Th is act has also just re-cently reared its ugly head when someone felt the need to pull and remove some of the freshly planted daisies from a planter near Tanner’s Park. Residents of our community take time out of their busy personal schedules to voluntarily plant fl owers, which have to be purchased and can be a sizable ex-pense, so that the community looks great for residents

and visitors throughout the summer. Th ese same volunteers were thankfully not beaten down by this mischief and stepped right back up to the plate giving even more of their precious time Sunday afternoon to clean up the childish mess left behind from someone’s prank. Additional volunteers pitched in to help right this wrong and used tires were generously donated by the local tire shop to provide sturdy bottoms to these new planters. A huge thank you is most deserving to these volunteers and community minded citizens who take great pride in trying to beautify our town. Please know that your eff orts are truly appreciated by many. To the person(s) responsible for this act of stu-pidity against our hard-working volunteers and com-munity beautifi cation, it would be interesting to hear your reason for turning over these planters and pulling fl owers from others. Do you get some warped satisfac-tion from committing such mischief and creating more work and added expense for others? I would encour-age you to try using your free time and energy to do something good for the community. When you volun-teer in a positive way you feel a sense of citizenship and pride that is not able to be described in words. One fi nal word to those who are responsible, I hope the se-curity cameras at the Credit Union captured some nice clear images of you in action! Although this past weekend’s act of mischief has been reported to police, if anyone has any information or know who may be responsible, please contact the RCMP at (204) 867-2916.

Parade deadline... If you have not yet registered but are planning to have a fl oat, vehicle, animal or other attraction in the July 9th parade, please let the organizers know so that a spot in the line-up can be saved for you. Entries are currently being accepted at Minnedosa Credit Union, Box 459, Minnedo-sa, MB, R0J 1E0. Th e deadline for parade entries is Th urs-day, June 30th.

Run 4NF... Th e sixth annual Run 4NF takes place tomorrow (Sat-urday) starting at the beach pavilion on the east shore of Minnedosa Lake. Th e 5km and 10 km runs are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Th is run usually raises about $5,000 in pledges and donations. Th e money raised is used to cover expenses related to the continuation of the Manitoba Neu-rofi bromatosis Support Group, MBNF.

Chamber BBQ... Th e Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce will hold its sixth annual Ag Appreciation BBQ “under the big top” in the Heritage Co-op Foodmarket parking lot Wednesday. Th is event is held in support of a scholarship at MCI for students pursuing an agriculture career after graduation. For the fi rst three years, the Chamber presented two $500 scholarships; this was increased to two $750 scholarships in 2009. Th is year, due to the continued generous support of the BBQ, the Chamber will be presenting two $1,000 scholarships bringing the grand total given back to local students to $8,000.

BISON CONCERNS... It’s great to know that there are citizens in this commu-nity concerned for the well being of our bison. A concern about the bison being in the fl ooded waters of the com-pound was reported to us Tuesday. We contacted the Town and it was checked out immediately. Th ankfully the bison were all fi ne and are quite strong swimmers. Th ey are being monitored and enjoy going for a swim regularly. Th ey have since been moved back into the compound parking lot.

Pic of the week...This photo of a coff ee break at the Bus Depot,

currently Main Street Cafe, in 1962 shows some of Minnedosa’s prominent businessmen of the time. Pictured (L-R) are Bob Stephenson; who ran Stephenson’s Service Station (located where Heritage Co-op Foodmarket is today), Gerry McMillan of Mr. McMillan’s Dry Goods (John’s Tax Service), Wallace Taylor of the Tay-lor Building (Sims Law Offi ce) and Jack Ruther-ford of Rutherford’s Electric (Minnedosa Insur-ance Services). Mr. Taylor and Rutherford both passed away the year after this photo was taken. Th anks to Wallace’s son, Don Taylor, for bringing this photo in to share with our readers.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

The year 1997 was the last time the Canadian

Union of Postal Workers hit the streets. Fourteen years ago, we put our jobs, our homes, our families and our bodies on the line. Now, we’re doing it again, not only for the people we work with, but also for the people who will be work-ing at Canada Post in the future. We are proud to be an organization of workers that fi ghts hard to improve the working conditions of its members. As such, we make no apologies for re-fusing unreasonable con-cessions demanded of us by a profi table company. While making 1.7 billion in profi ts for 15 years, Can-ada Post has kept one of the lowest standard post-age rates in the industrial-ized world. Canada Post has also contributed $1.2 billion to the federal gov-ernment in dividends and income taxes over the last 15 years. Some members of the public have the mis-taken idea that their taxes are paying for our wages. Th e truth is that we do not cost the public money. By keeping Canada Post profi table, our hard work actually saves the public money. CUPW has tried

during this round of bar-gaining to solve the prob-lems our members face ev-ery day at work. We want to fi x staffi ng problems, route measurement and forced overtime problems, deliv-ery method problems, and health and safety issues. We have off ered to ad-dress Canada Post’s con-cerns with our proposals but they are only interest-ed in their own demands for concessions. Negotia-tions are supposed to be about give and take. Postal workers want to negotiate but when the other side is taking instead of talking, we are forced to use our legal right to strike in the hope that when we with-draw our labour and picket our workplaces, the pres-sure will compel Canada Post to negotiate. Going on strike is no joke. It’s not a decision we are making lightly and we wouldn’t be making it at all if our employer weren’t so determined to aggressively cut labour costs. We’ve told Canada Post there are alternatives to strip-ping all workers of their sick plan and new work-ers of their wages. Other postal administrations are rising to the challenge of declining mail volumes instead of stooping to at-tack their workers. For ex-

ample, they’re using their networks for services such as banking. In 2008, 44 countries had post offi ces with banking services that accounted for more than 20% of the total revenue. A postal bank existed in this country from 1867 to1969 as a trusted alternative to the big commercial banks. In the wake of the fi nancial crisis, never has such an alternative been more rel-evant. With innovative ideas like this, Canada Post could continue to be a profi table, eff ective corporation that meets its universal service obligation and the needs of the public. It doesn’t have to take the lazy way out by squeezing its work-ers instead of improving its services. Unfortunately, it’s choosing to take advantage of the recession to demand workers pay for its projec-tions of future decline in-stead of working with us to fi nd solutions. Canada Post may be buying bil-lions of dollars worth of new technologies but its labour relations practices date back to the days of disco. What management is proposing rolls our wages and benefi ts back to the twentieth century even though the cost of living in the twenty-fi rst cen-tury keeps on rising and it is getting increasingly diffi cult for the national average income earner (such as a postal worker) to make ends meet. You can’t “modernize” a com-

pany with the regressive labour standards Canada Post is proposing. Nor can you look after your family with an 18% wage cut. But that’s exactly what the cor-poration is expecting new employees to do. Th eir in-sistence on this and oth-er rollbacks forces us to strike. We know that going on strike takes our fi ght to the public even though we are not fi ghting the public. As postal workers who care deeply about what we do, it’s an upsetting prospect to be facing angry people, including customers we have known and served for years. But we also know that we have support from many people who un-derstand that sometimes workers have to strike to fi ght for an important prin-ciple like decent jobs. We feel confi dent that many people will under-stand why we have to strike in order to get Canada Post to negotiate seriously. We especially hope that the young workers whose wages and benefi ts we are struggling to preserve will honour this fi ght down the road and resist future roll-backs just as fi ercely as we do now.

Denis Lemelin,

National President and Chief Negotiator for the CUPW

Why we strike

Dear Editor,

The Minnedosa Heritage Inc. committee (Station committee) met last Tuesday and have asked me to

update your readers on the C.P.R. station project. Since the inception of the committee, we have completed a new shake/shingle roof, new facia and soffi ting. As well, all new windows have been installed making the exterior of the building water proof. In addition, the installation of a de-humidifi er has been completed. Last summer, work began on the Railroad Park located on the north side of the building on the former Beddome property. Some initial landscaping was done, the rail maintenance equipment from the Main Street Park has been relocated and installed and the park seeded to grass. Th is summer our plans include replacing the cement pad on the west side of the building as a future display area, further grooming of the park area and we expect work to begin on the fencing along the street as well as a brick gate. Th e brick is matching to the original brick on the station building and was obtained from Binscarth when their station was demolished last spring. Currently the committee has in excess of $33,000 in cash in the bank which consists of monies donated by station patrons as well as sales of the railroad history book. Th ose funds continue to be used for the various projects around the exterior of the building and we antic-ipate that a good portion will be retained for the interior renovations, once they begin. Th e committee notes that vandalism is once again on the rise with the three pieces of equipment on display in the park being moved around the yard as well as a couple of broken windows. We ask those passing by the property to keep a vigilant eye out for any vandalism taking place and report such incidents to the police. Th e committee is always interested in welcoming new members and anyone wishing to come and lend a hand on any of our projects or become a member of our committee is welcome to join. We will keep you updated from time to time this summer through Th e Tribune.

In a May 24th meeting to review the recent reas-

sessment and 2012 tax im-plications for Minnedosa, assessors outlined that the Town’s total assessment increased by 15%. Th is amount is slightly above the provincial average of 13% and refl ects strong market value increases for single family residen-tial properties and farm properties. Single family residences have increased in value 24.5% and farm properties have increased 19.2%.

“Th e increase in value is attributable to strong de-mand due to economic de-velopment in the Neepawa area and province-wide increases in the value of farmland,” stated MAFRI Communications Coordi-nator, Diane Coble-Kend-all. “Residential property is in short supply due to de-velopment in the Neepawa area and farmland increas-es are refl ected in sales.” Th e 2012 reassess-ment was updated to re-fl ect April 1st, 2010 market values and was initiated by provincial legislation that would see assessments

updated every two years. Frequent reassessment that keeps up with real estate market will mean assessments are more pre-dictable and easier to un-derstand for property own-ers. Th e new assessments will be used to calculate 2012 property taxes; how-ever assessment increases don’t necessarily mean tax increases. Taxes increase only when a property’s assess-ment increases more than the average within the mu-nicipality or school divi-sion. Due to reassessment, municipal and school tax-

es are increasing on single family residences by 9% and on farm properties by 4.4%. Although all other property classes (apart-ments, commercial, etc.) also saw an increase in assessment, the increase wasn’t as great as for single family residential and farm so taxes on these proper-ties decreased. Off setting these increases, the gov-ernment also increased the Education Property Tax Credit to $800 and the Farmland School Tax Rebate to 80% in 2011 so overall property taxes will be reduced.

14-year-old Kyle Wa-hoski was drafted to the Neepawa Natives last Sun-day, June 5th after per-forming well at a hockey camp in Neepawa last month. “It feels pretty good,” Wahoski exclaimed. “I’m pretty excited about the whole experience.” Th e MCI Grade 9 stu-dent has been playing hockey since he was six or seven years old and prior to the draft played as a Centre for the Minnedosa Bantam Bombers. Cen-tre is a diffi cult position to hold as it demands the player be all over the place,

but Wahoski enjoys the challenge. He’s fast and he always works hard in the corners. Sometimes it’s tough being a slight young man in a rough game, but Wahoski says the payoff s are tremendous. “It’s not always the easiest to gain weight and the training can be pretty hard too but it’s worth it if you’re willing to try hard.” In the next week Wa-hoski and his teammates will be meeting with head coach, Bryant Perrier, and while he’s excited to be playing for the Natives, he’s already looking ahead. “Next year I may try out for the Yellowhead Chiefs.”

The current e-coli outbreak in Germany and its pos-sible origins in salad vegetables highlight the im-

portance of properly cleaning and preparing all vegeta-bles, says the Kidney Foundation of Canada – Manitoba Branch’s Executive Director Val Dunphy. “It is crucial to thoroughly wash all fruit and vegetables prior to serving, including those you cut or peel, as e-coli bacteria can be transferred during this action.” Optimal practice begins before you even take the produce out of the refrigerator. “Anyone coming into contact with produce should start by thoroughly wash-ing their hands with soap and warm water before touch-ing the food and should wash them after every instance of going to the bathroom, handling garbage or changing diapers.”

Tuesday night’s heavy rainfalls resulted in

fl ash-fl ooding in areas south of town. Several residents were reporting 2 to 2.5 inches of rain and this sudden deluge of pre-cipitation overwhelmed the system. Town Pub-lic Works foreman, Kevin Marcino, reported that all of the Town’s sewage and water systems are running at full capacity and there have been some issues of backfl ow in areas that have not had this problem before. Town crews con-tinue to monitor stations upstream and reports are those levels are still drop-ping. Th e lake is also be-ing monitored and if need be water may be released once more.

TCS welcomed its third Columbian student

from the Study Manitoba program last month. Grade 7 student, Julian Andreas Perez Baron, arrived in Minnedosa May 18th and is attending classes in Mrs.Branconnier’s classroom and learning English with ELA instructor, Mrs. John-son. “I think it’s a wonder-ful opportunity for both Ju-lian and our students here,” said Mrs. Branconnier. “We’ve been able to learn a lot about Columbia.” Eighteen Study Mani-toba schools are located in the southwestern corner of Manitoba. Study Mani-toba is not an exchange program and students are treated like family, not boarders. Th e focus of the program is to immerse stu-dents in Canadian culture and language. While at school, they are expected to behave and perform aca-demically just as any other student but they are not graded on their academic

performance. Rather, their host families and educators send back a review on how readily the student partici-pated in school and family life while in Manitoba. While in Minnedosa, Julian is staying with the Burgess family and has en-joyed the many diff erent sights, tastes and activities available in Canada. Gym class, canoeing on the play-ground, cooking in Home Economics class, and Li-ons Quest are just a few of the school activities Julian has really liked. “I tell my mom about the library,” he added. Julian, like his mother, enjoys reading and in an eff ort to learn English has signed out books from both the school and public libraries. Natural areas in Cana-da are quite diff erent when compared to the rainfor-ests of Columbia, and the contrast is not lost on Ju-lian. “Th ere is lots of nature here. Th ere is not as much in Bogota. It is really nice.” He has been taking many photos of animals, such as

the resident bison herd. In fact, on one of the fi rst days in Minnedosa Kim Burgess took Julian to see the bison, who at that time were located at the front of the compound. While tak-ing pictures of the herd, Julian extended his cam-era through the fence and a mother got upset with him and started to grunt and trot towards the fence. “Th e mom was going to at-tack me!” he exclaimed. “She didn’t actually get to the fence, but we went running for the car,” Kim chuckled. Also staying in Minnedosa last week was Julian’s staff chaperone from Jordan of Saxony school in Bogota, Liz Mari-lyn Diaz. Liz had previously spent 15 days in Winnipeg before coming to Minnedo-sa Monday, June 6th. While here, she stayed with Edu-cational Assistant Bridgett Doll and her family. “Wow, it has been a very nice experience. I re-ally like Canada,” Liz re-marked. “I had some prob-

lems with the weather at fi rst because it’s very cold; but it’s a beautiful place with delicious food and the people are friendly.” When asked why she feels Co-lumbian families choose to send their children to Canada, Liz answered,

“Families choose to send their children to Canada because they like it. We had two diff erent options to begin with; Canada or Lon-don, England, and all the students chose Canada.” “Canada is more beau-tiful,” Julian said. “Yes,” Liz

agreed. “London is a very large city, like Bogota. We do have parks and natural areas, but Canada is diff er-ent. “Canada also gives the students an experience to learn English and French. In Columbia we only speak Spanish and now English so coming to Canada exposes the students to another lan-guage and culture.” Julian and Liz, along with fi ve other Columbian students who are study-ing in Manitoba, will head home June 16th. With so many memorable experi-ences to share with fam-ily and friends in Bogota, Julian says he will always cherish his time here in Minnedosa and hopes to keep in contact with his host family and classmates. “I have made a lot of friends in Canada.”

The Minnedosa Mavericks have been battling the weather this season. To date, they have only been

able to play two of their fi ve scheduled games as three have been cancelled due to rain. Th e team fi nally got to play its fi rst game last Friday at the home fi eld when they took on the Neepawa Cubs. Despite a brief rain shower, that sent players and spec-tators running for cover, the game resumed after a short delay. In the end, our hometown boys defeated the Cubs 6-3. Monday night, the Mavericks travelled to Portage la Prairie where they beat the Portage Padres 11-2. Th e Mavericks are scheduled to play the Ste. Rose Brewers tonight at the fairgrounds.

Avid Harley Davidson motorcyclist Dwight

(DC) Boyd has raised over $2,000 in support of the Breast Cancer Pledge Ride, which took place in Winni-peg Sunday, June 5th. DC has a very special reason for supporting this rally; his wife, Michelle, was di-agnosed with breast can-cer in January and follow-ing surgery has begun the long litany of chemother-apy treatments necessary to regain her health. One of the side-eff ects of che-motherapy is hair loss and, not wanting to draw out the experience, Michelle opted to have her head shaved two days before the Pledge Ride by her niece, Anita Boyd at enJoy Salon. In honour of his wife, and to show his support for the

cause, DC had his goatee dyed pink as well. Together with 16 friends on 10 bikes, DC and Michelle helped to raise $14,000 during the Pledge Ride on Sunday. A total of 650 people regis-tered to ride 550 bikes and travelled from Assiniboia Downs to Stonewall, Win-nipeg Beach, Oak Bank, and back Sunday morn-ing. Th e event raised ap-proximately $80,000; an increase of $16,000 over last year’s $64,000, and the top male fundraiser was Brent Burton, originally of Franklin, who raised over $3,000. Th is year’s numbers bring the com-bined ten year total to over $410,000 that the Pledge Ride has been able to do-nate back to fi ghting breast cancer in Manitoba.

If you are from Minnedo-sa’s sister city, Ishii, Ja-

pan, you know what a shi-shi odoshi is and why it is important to have a chozu-backi in your garden. If you aren’t Japanese, however, some of these terms may have you wondering what they are and what purpose they serve. To help visitors better understand and ap-preciate all aspects of the Minnedosa-Ishii Japanese Garden, the board has commissioned an orienta-tion board to point out and explain various elements. A chozubacki allows visitors to customarily wash their hands and face before entering a Japa-nese Garden which would ‘wash away’ your cares and allow you to enjoy the tranquility of the garden. A Zen garden is a static gar-den surrounded by a bam-boo fence. Th e Friendship Rock was a gift from the Ishii International Com-mittee for the garden’s dedication, July 6th, 2008. A shishi odoshi (deer scare)

is made of water and bam-boo and these animal-de-terrent structures are very common in Japanese Gar-dens. Also featured in the garden are a sodi gaki, a lattice bamboo fence usu-ally located beside a build-ing or wall to create a divi-sion or screen, and a kusari doi (rain chain); a decora-tive Japanese rain gutter that provides a fountain-like eff ect. Th e orientation board is being purchased from Rapid City Memorials through a $1,335 grant from Th e Minnedosa Foundation. Shannon Baxter, one of the original university landscape ar-chitectural students who came and designed the garden in 2007, has been asked to sketch plans for

the board. Minnedosa and Ishii became offi cial sister cit-ies in October, 1996 and cultural adult and youth exchanges between the two communities have been ongoing over the years. Initiated in 2007 as a “Bridge of Friendship in Minnedosa,” the Ishii Gar-den is located on the north side of the Minnedosa Re-gional Library and is open May to September. Last week board mem-bers began their general spring cleanup consist-ing of weeding, fertilizing, and pruning. “Th is year the garden looks so much better than it did last year,” stated Jeannie Perkins. “We had such a rough win-ter in 09-10, and we lost quite a few plants. Th is

year it was a real delight to come in this spring and see everything growing and fi lling in nicely.” Th is

week volunteers begin regular maintenance of the garden; ensuring that it re-mains a pleasant, tranquil

place for residents and visitors to come and enjoy the beauty and serenity of a traditional Japanese Gar-

Ishii Garden features unique structures

Volunteers Pam Lewis, Terry Nylen and Jeannie Perkins work to repair the deer scare in the Ishii Garden last Monday.

Th e Ishii Garden features six points of interest that will be identifi ed and explained on an orientation board at the garden entrance. Th is board is

funded primarily through a grant from Th e Minnedosa Foundation.

This past week has brought new meaning

to the word air seeding as producers literally turned to the air and seeding by plane to complete a por-tion of their canola plant-ing. Experience with cano-la seeding by air has had mixed results due in large part to the reliance on the weather to ensure germi-nation and establishment. Th e key to establishment with seeding by air or for that matter any type of broadcast seeding is a con-tinuation of light and fre-quent showers and warm

temperatures that allows the seed to germinate and become established. Har-rowing or incorporation is usually recommended and is particularly necessary under high residue situ-ations where seed to soil contact is minimal. Under low residue situations in-corporation has little in-fl uence on establishment with the critical factor be-ing once again moisture af-ter seeding. Incorporation does become more critical if urea is being broadcast. Broadcast urea on a moist soil surface accompanied by warm windy condi-tions could see signifi cant

amounts of nitrogen gas off as ammonia gas. Distribution can be also be somewhat variable and is diffi cult to visual-ize due to the relatively low seeding rate and level of residue in the fi elds. Typically seeding by air would have seeding rates increased by 25-30% how-ever the increased cost of seed and the higher risk in getting the crop estab-lished is making higher seeding rates uneconomi-cal.

Compaction and Crusting Issues

Th e 90 + mm of rain last week has left the majority of the oilseeds planted prior to the rain experiencing crusting and compaction problems. Th e majority of these acres had already been seeded under wet conditions resulting in increased compaction. Th e excess rain provided even further compaction leaving a hard crust which is now hampering oilseed emergence especially if seed placement was be-low an inch. Ironically the only solution to mellow-ing this crusted topsoil is

more light rain until the plant reaches the three to fi ve leaf stage. At this point its root system will be suffi -ciently established to help aerate the soil and tap into fertilizer bands.

Cover Crop Options

Th e excess moisture to date has some fi elds destined to go unseeded prior to the Crop Insur-ance deadlines. Rather then leaving these fi elds in fallow situations produc-ers should consider a cov-er crop which will reduce

weed growth and utilize some of the excess mois-ture. Cover crop options should include whenever possible a legume such as fi eld peas to fi x nitrogen and some type of annual grass or cereal crop which in this area will likely in-clude barley, oats or per-haps millet. Feed supplies are likely to be once again limited by the lack of na-tive hay locally and the fl ooded or severely dam-aged tame forage acres throughout much of the rest of the province.

The Minnedosa Chan-cellors boys’ rugby

team wrapped up their season in Winnipeg last Saturday, June 4th, win-ning silver at the provin-cial high school rugby championship. Th e Chan-cellors lost the gold medal game to the St. John’s Ra-venscourt Eagles, 17-14. Trys during the game were scored by Brady Ingenmey and Jason Galbraith, and Sam Ross made two con-versions. “It was a very, very close game,” remarked Chancellors coach, Gavin Roche. “We were leading with eight minutes to go. Th ose boys left everything on that fi eld. Th ere were no regrets. It was a very clean, hard game between two really competitive teams, and we just came a bit short.” Roche’s son, Th omas, plays for the Eagles and

Roche said the experience was very emotional. “Th at was a surreal, odd feeling for me. It wasn’t easy to deal with, I think it took a chunk of my soul,” he joked. During the semi-fi nals on Friday, the Chancellors beat the St. Paul’s Crusad-ers 19-12. “Th ey had beat-en us in two previous fi nals in ’99 and 2000 so that was a nice bonus for us,” said Roche. Tomorrow (Saturday, June 11th), seven boys from the Chancellors team will be participating in the MHSR All-Star Game in Brandon; Brady In-genmey, Jason Galbraith, Dana Burgess, Th omas Parish, Mike McKenzie, Sam Ross, and Gordie Ross. “To me they’re all stars,” said Roche. “Th ose guys deserve it.” As for next year, Roche is looking forward to new challenges and successes with a slightly younger

team, comprised of mostly Grade 11 students. “We’re going to have to do some adjusting but these guys are well-versed in what they’ve got to do so it’s just a matter of stepping up to the plate and seeing what the younger guys will bring.” 2011 marks 14 years of rugby in Minnedosa and Roche is pleased that the sport has grown to the lev-el of skill and community involvement that it has. “Th e nice thing about this whole thing is we’ve got a senior mens’ team that’s a club of 30+ friends,” he said. “We’re affi liated with the Barbarians but it’s pre-dominantly Minnedosa guys on the division two team and they’ve kept playing over the years. You get to meet new people and I’m just happy it’s tak-en off . It’s a good thing.”

Harry Jackson was born in 1921 in the Em-

pire district, fi fteen miles northeast of Minnedosa. Harry went to the lo-cal school along with his brother and sister. It was a one-room schoolhouse with approximately 35 students. “We travelled to school in the wintertime with a team of horses and sleigh, in the summertime by wagon and horses,” re-calls Harry. He remembers his sis-ter falling out of the wagon one day while travelling to

school. Th e wheel of the wagon went right across her stomach, but luckily it did not cause too much harm and she survived. Th e winters were quite harsh back then, with snowdrifts as high as the top of the telephone wires.“It was not unusual to have anything from 35 or 40 be-low weather in the winter. Wood-burning stoves were the common method of cooking and also keeping the house warm. “As you can imagine it got pretty chilly when the fi re went out,” said Harry. Harry also remembers the house being so cold at night that often the pail of water would be frozen sol-id. “My dad and I would travel twenty miles with a doubled-up sleigh to pick up timber out of the bush to burn on the fi re. We would have a loaf of bread with us to eat and have to cut it with the axe because it was frozen solid, that’s what we called the good old days, we were happy and we sur-vived,” said Harry with a big smile. As a young man, Harry spent his days working with a tractor on the farm from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for $1.00 a day. “We would come to Minnedosa with 25 cents and think we had the world by the tail,” remembers Harry. “We would go see a show and have money left

over.” On July 14th, 1941 Harry joined the Royal Ca-nadian Air Force and was sent to Toronto then on to Hagersville, Ontario where he worked on aircraft elec-trical for over two years. During this time he met and married Eunice Childs from Winnipeg. “We were married 49 years and nine months, three months short of 50 years,” says Har-ry. After Harry got out of the Air Force in 1949 he moved back to Minnedosa and worked for CPR and Agristeel. “I worked for Minn-Toba Industries, a fi rm that manufactured farm machinery for 24 years and retired in 1986,” said Harry. Today Harry reisides at Town View Manor and recently celebrated his 90th birthday. Looking back on life of nine decades Harry says

“I may have a few regrets but I don’t dwell on them I think about how lucky I am and what a great life I have had. I also have a lot of great friends who visit with me and make sure I am okay.”

It was so diffi cult to let you goTh ough death’s left us no

other choiceWe’re mourning the loss of

never seeing you againOf never hearing your

precious voice

It seems that in life there are certain times

Which are more than “simply unfair”

When our hearts search out for better answers

But cannot seem to fi nd them there

And such is the case at your passing

Contemplating the briefness of your life

All the great things that you could have done

If only you’d been granted the time

It isn’t diffi cult to envision the possibilities

For look at what you’ve already done

Th e diff erence you’ve made in so many lives

We love you our little one

With all of our love, hugs and kisses

OBITUARIES

JOSEPH LENKEWICH

On May 14, 211 Joseph Lenkewich passed away at age 83. He was predeceased by his mother, Pauline (Nee Boss), father, Karl Lenkewich and brother Steve. He will be lovingly remembered by his brother John Lenkewich (wife Natalie), their daughter, Janice Dixon (husband Tim Ho) and his many colleagues and friends. Th e funeral service was held on Th ursday, May 19, 2011 at Erickson Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church. Interment was in Sandy Lake. Special thanks to the fourth fl oor staff of Brandon Regional Hospital for making his last days more comfortable; and to Shauna and Rae’s Funeral Service.

MARGIE LOU CASSIDY(nee BOYD)

It is with great sadness our family announces the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and sister, Margie Lou Cassidy on May 17, 2011 at the St. Adolphe Personal Care Home following a

lengthy struggle with Alzheimer’s. She was 74 years old.

Margie was the second eldest of seven children born to Blanche (Vann) and Norman

Boyd on December 31, 1936 in Minnedosa, MB. Th e family lived in the Bethany area then moved and settled in Selkirk, MB in 1942. Margie was raised and educated in Selkirk. She did well in school and was very athletic, softball and track being her favourites. After graduation she moved to Winnipeg with her sister Evelyn where she attended Success Business College. Th is diploma opened doors to many offi ce jobs that Margie had over the years. Margie married Doug Cassidy on October 12, 1957. Doug worked as a miner so this took them many places including Flin Flon, Elliot Lake, Th ompson, Saltcoates, and Esterhazy. In 1967 they moved to Minnedosa and made it their home. Margie loved being active. Her pastimes included fi shing with Doug, bike riding with her grandchildren, walking with friends, curling and bowling. Watching her boys play hockey and baseball fi lled her time for many years. Any down time she had was spent reading a book or a newspaper. Margie lived her life and faced challenges she encountered with a fi erce independence, pragmatic approach, and very strong work ethic. At times, while raising four children, she held up three jobs while also volunteering in the community. She valued friendships she made in the community as well as with co-workers over the years in Minnedosa and Neepawa. She ended her offi ce career at Co-op in 1993 and became Doug’s driving partner enjoying the next few years trucking across North America. Margie was predeceased by her husband Doug, her brother Bruce, her parents Norman and Blanche, and her in-laws, George and Jessie. She leaves to celebrate her life her four children and their families. Susan (Ron), Kirk (Martha), Greg (Marla-Rae), Troy (Connie), eight grandchildren, Jana-Rae, Aaron, Breanna, Taryn, Alexia, Clarke, Abigail, and Jenna and great-grandson Drew. As well she is survived by her siblings, Evelyn (Murray), Meriam (David), Terry (Carol), Basil, Norman (Donna), and sister-in-law Elaine as well as many nieces and nephews. We will always remember Mom fondly and with admiration for her strength, commitment to family, cynical sense of humour, and her banter with Doug. A memorial/graveside will be held at a later date at St. John Cemetery in Bethany, MB. Donations in Margie’s memory may be made to a charity of your choice. Arrangements made through Wheeler Funeral Chapel. x
