his year, Rockin the

Fields of Minnedosa
will be rocking to the beat
of a new drummer. The
previous Board President,
Darcy Bialas has taken
leave, and left the previous
vice-president in charge.
This year, the new president of the popular August
long weekend music festival is Brian Wenham.
Wenham has been a
director on the RFM board
for six years now, and last
year was elected to the
position of vice president.
When Bialas stepped down
he did so feeling he had left
the festival in good hands.
As such, Wenham stepped
into the shoes that Bialas
left to be filled.
Wenham noted that
he considers being given
the chance at the new role
is defi nitely an honour
for him. Its an honour
for sure, for them to put
me in that position, said
Wenham. Having been involved with the festival for
six years, including years
when it had shrunk down,
only having about 500 people in attendance and very
few people helping with
the organization, it is safe
to say that his heart is in
it. Even when the festival
had fewer music lovers attending, Wenham said that
it is still a fun weekend, it
keeps me going out there
every year. I take holidays
from work to go up to it.
According to Wenham, there is a very good

charge of putting on the
festival, and so he remains
confi dent that this years
festival will be every bit
the success that it has
been in past years. There
are no major projects in
the works for the festival,
and Wenham noted that
the infrastructure remains
up to par. However, they
do plan on replacing the
main stage, which will be

an expensive endeavor for
the non-profit organization.
While he does not see
many challenges arising,
due to the competent and
efficient group of directors
that he will be working
with, he noted that a large
part of the festivals success will be dependent on
the weather. We are just

good weather, said Wenham, if its a rainy day,
nobody wants to come
out. He added that he
plans to simply continue
to do what they have been
doing already, and that no
major changes in the process are necessary.
Th ey have recently
started working with an
artist agency out of Win-
nipeg, and hope that this

will help them attract
some great bands, which
they hope they will be
able to announce by the
end of February. Wenham
would like to both attract
the younger demographic,
while still appealing to the
classic rockers.

Skate The Lake Returning For Year 11

By HILLARY CAMPBELL
he plans for this years

Skate the Lake are in
motion. This year will be
the 11th annual Skate the
Lake pond hockey tournament. The highly anticipated event is set to take
place on February 18th
and 19th this year. The
event will be held, as usual,
on Minnedosa Lake.
This year, proceeds for
the event will be donated
to the Minnedosa arena to
enhance the sound system,
as well as to the Minnedosa Beach Enhancement
Committee.
Once the
Minnedosa
Regional
events Centre is up and
running, the new sound
system will be transferrable from the current arena
to the new facility. The
Skate the Lake tournament
has made good use of the
beach area for their event,
and feel that the Beach Enhancement Committee is
a good recipient for their
proceeds.
In the past, the weekend-long
pond-hockey
tournament has given
proceeds to both the Community Daycare and to
Minnedosa Minor Hockey.

In the years between 2010
and 2016, the seven Skate
the Lake tournaments have
raised a total of $63,500 for
Minor Hockey projects at
the MREC.
Because of their efforts and donations in the
past, Minnedosa Minor
Hockey now endorses the
pond hockey tournament,
and no longer runs hockey
on the weekend of Skate
the Lake. This allows the
kids to participate in the
tournament.
According
to the organizers of Skate
the Lake, this partnership
made for a great event for
families and teams to work
and play together, while
celebrating the spirit of
hockey.
In addition to the fun
tournament, there will also
be a chili cook-off, which
will be put on by Nicole
Synchyshyn and the Rec
Commission. There will
also be a canteen and a
beer garden open, which
will serve delicious snacks
to people who attend.
The goals of the weekend event are, according
to Tanis Barrett and the
organizing committee, to
&ODQZLOOLDP6WRUH

promote Minnedosa as
a year-round tourist destination, to raise money
for local charities, to help
maintain pond hockey as a
part of our Canadian Heritage, and to bring people
together in a fun environment and to promote
healthy active living.
Barrett commented
that, the last five years or
so weve had lots of outof-town teams that come,
which is a pretty big deal
for minor hockey, especially because teams at
that time of year are going
into playoffs. This means
that teams and individuals need to plan this a few
months ahead of time, to
ensure that they are not
playing in another league
over the weekend of skate
the lake. Barrett also noted
that it is a good weekend
for families to come out.
There have been families
who are all registered on
different teams, so it is fun
for everyone.
Barrett added that,
we have had lots of people
who have grown up here,
who have moved away,
both adult males and females, who come back
and plan to meet friends
to play at Skate the Lake.
They plan that weekend as
a homecoming weekend.
We see lots of reunions
on the ice and in the beer
gardens. She encourages everyone to come out
and see their friends, both
old and new, at the pond
hockey tournament.

SUBMITTED
he Minnedosa Area
Community Development Corporation and the
Minnedosa Credit Union
have teamed up to create
a more welcoming environment for the launch
of small business in the
region.
The Business
Builder Loan program
is expected to help aspiring entrepreneurs with
some additional start-up
funding to help open their
new business or generate growth for their established enterprise.
While often, the eff

of economic development
agencies in rural areas focuses on investment attraction of large industry,
small business is recognized as the backbone of
the Canadian economy
and comprises 98% of enterprise in this country. In
fact, industry Canada reports that 41% of all Canadians work for a company
with 20 employees or less.
With the growth of online
commerce and homebased businesses that may
be ready to make the next
step to a store front location, this program could
provide the necessary support to help facilitate business development.
To qualify for the program and be eligible for
a business loan of up to
$5,000, applicants must
be Manitoba residents and
proposing a business to be
physically situated within
a 30 kilometre radius of
Minnedosa. In the case of

Council Renews Garbage Levy And Passes MREC Borrowing Bylaw

By DARRYL HOLYK
innedosa
Town
Council met for a
short, half hour regular
meeting on the evening
of Tuesday, January 10th.
Mayor Orr presided with
all councillors in attendance.
A public hearing was
held to renew the Towns
garbage levy. This is not
a new, additional charge
and has been in place for
a number of years. The
levy bylaw has to be renewed every three years
and only one change was
made to this years renewal. While all other garbage
rates will stay the same as
previously, mobile homes
will see an increase of $25
from the previous $75 levy

up to $100. This increase
was put in place as mobile homes are considered
equal to a house and the
single family dwelling garbage levy has been $100
for some time.
The estimated cost of
garbage collection for The
Town in 2017 is $50,000.
An additional $130,000 is
estimated for tipping taxes charged by Evergreen
Environmental technologies and nuisance ground
contract work. Under the
current bylaw, annual
garbage levy rates include
$100 for residential properties, mobile homes,
duplex and commercial
properties with light to
medium pickup. The rate
for a triplex is $150 with

$200 being charged to
commercial
properties
with heavy pickup and
apartment
complexes
with four to five suites.
Larger apartment complexes are charged a rate
of $300 with seasonal
properties (cottages, etc)
being charged $30. During
the Public hearing, ACAO
Yuen informed council
that three letters had been
received; two opposed
to the garbage levy and
one in favour of it. One
ratepayer also made a
brief presentation before
council asking them to be
careful with any future increases as it could serve as
a deterrent for attracting
new residents to the com-

munity. The ratepayer also

suggested garbage pickup
would have more desertion and regulations that
the in-town collection
service should only be for
regular household garbage and not larger items.
Th e ratepayer gave the
example of items such as
broken baby gates or old
toilets which she felt residents should be responsible for taking to Evergreen
themselves.
Second and third
reading was also given
to Bylaw 2541 which

sets the Towns borrowing authority for funding that may be required
to build the new area at
the Minnedosa Regional
Events Centre grounds
north on the north side
of 6th Avenue N.W. If and
when required, the bylaw
allows the Town to borrow up to a maximum of
$3.5 million over a 20 year
period. If a smaller portion of that borrowing requirement is needed from
the Town for the proposed
project, the bylaw can be

amended. First reading of
this bylaw was given back
in February 2015 and the
reasoning second and
third reading has been
given now is in regards to
a time requirement as set
by the Municipal Board. If
the time lapse is too great,
the Town would have to
start the borrowing bylaw process all over again.
The borrowing bylaw was
passed so that it is in place
for when and if it is needed.

including making sure
all of the sponsorship is
handled, and overseeing
the other tasks that are
handled by the other directors and volunteers. He
is optimistic about his new
role, and can see himself
continuing in this position
in future years. He will also
have support and guidance if needed this year, as

and will still be available as
needed.

organizers typically rely

on volunteers throughout
the weekend, and are currently looking for a service group to assist at the
front gate. He added that,
we appreciate everybody
that comes and puts their
time in, and we give quite
a bit back to the community afterwards, in lieu of
that time put in, and of
course, they get to enjoy
the weekend. The festival has enjoyed the help
of numerous community
service groups such as the
Minnedosa Rotary Club,
the Minnedosa Bombers,

and the Golf Course over
the years.
Th ere has typically
been a 2% growth each
year, and Wenham hopes
that this will be the case
again this year, if not a
greater increase. He commented that, its a beautiful site, the main stage
is overlooking the lake.
You have a good experience there too, compared
to other music festivals,
people are pretty well-behaved. They are just there
to have fun.

A Small Price to pay

Our justice system is sometimes like a slap in the
face. On Monday, in Brandon, the man responsible for
the fatal hit-and-run accident that cut Shawn Coopers
life short in August 2014 was sentenced to two years
house arrest. Christopher Palaschuck took a plea bargain
and pleaded guilty to failing to stop at the scene of an accident rather than the original charge of impaired driving
causing death. Such a minimal sentence is a tiny price to
pay for taking a young life and leaving a lifetime of grief
and loss of Shawns family and friends.
EDO Moving On
Minnedosa Community Development Corporation
will be searching for a new Economic Development Officer this year. Last Friday, it was announced that Vern May
had accepted a position as the new Executive Director
of Portage Regional Economic Development. Vern will
relocate to his new position in Portage in mid February
when his contract with Minnedosa is up. Vern has been
the EDO for Minnedosa since February 2015. In addition
to his many attributes as our communitys EDO, Verns
weekly viewpoint and other newsworthy articles will
truly be missed by The Tribune and its faithful readers.

Minnedosas next EDO.
Holiday Checkstop
The month-long RCMP Holiday Checkstop Program
wrapped up earlier this month with a total of 11,781 vehicles checked during 250 Checkstops. During the program
122 people were charged with a Criminal Code Impaired
Driving Off ence (Impaired, Over .08, Refusal, Impaired
by Drug). RCMP issued 60 alcohol - and drug-related
tiered administrative suspensions, 37 other Criminal
Code Driving off ences,48 Liquor and Gaming Control
Act charges and 2,633 other Highway Traffic Act off ences.
The most common of these off enses were Speeding and
Failing to Stop at Intersections. Sadly, there were six lives
lost in traffi c-related collisions including four involving
snowmobiles. Three of these six fatal accidents are suspected to involve driver impairment.

TRUSTED CONNECTED TARGETED
Five Unhealthy New Years

Resolutions to Break in 2017
Top Health and Fitness Expert
Reveals How to Forget the Trends and
Create a Foundation for a Healthy Life
ith 2017 officially underway, New Years resolutions

are at the forefront of many Canadians minds. This
year, instead of committing to unrealistic resolutions and
getting discouraged when they dont work out, health
and fitness expert Dai Manuel encourages Canadians to
break UNhealthy New Years resolutions.
As someone who is passionate about health and nutrition, I want to encourage Canadians to think more holistically and long-term about their habits in 2017, says
Dai Manuel, author, health and fitness expert and personal trainer. By adopting heathy eating habits, you can
set a foundation for living your most phenomenal life. I
recommend a diet made up of primarily whole and minimally processed foods. This straightforward approach
takes the focus off calorie counting, elimination diets and
other magic bullets to health and encourages us to enjoy nutrients the way Mother Nature intended.
Dais top fi ve unhealthy trends and resolutions to
break in 2017 include:
1. Unrealistic New Years Resolutions
Its time to let go of the impossible targets and start
setting realistic, long-term, SMART goals. These goals are
Specifi c, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely.
Instead of short-term weight loss goals, consider making a promise to yourself that you will begin to build the
foundation for a healthy life by fi nding the majority of
your nourishment from whole and minimally processed
foods. The long-term benefi t of creating a life based on
a foundation of health first is key to achieving so many
successes in other areas of your life maintaining overall
happiness.
2. Calorie Counting
Calorie counting can make people crazy especially
after a busy holiday full of indulgences. Instead of making
food a prescription, get back to enjoying whole foods that
are nutritionally dense. While a common trend today is
to fortify foods with added protein, it is important to remember that meat is one of natures original sources of
protein. From a nutritional perspective, beef is a protein
powerhouse and, as a single-ingredient whole food, it
delivers a protein and nutrient punch. And while many
might know beef is king for protein, what they might not
realize is that its also rich in vitamins and minerals such
as iron, zinc, selenium, and vitamin B12.
3. Convenience Eating or Overindulging When Eating

Out
Cooking at home doesnt have to be hard work,
theres tons of delicious options for easy ways to make
whole foods part of your convenience needs. Options like
Korean Lettuce Cups and Grab-and Go Tortillas are not
only good for you; theyre good for your wallet too and
can be made using your leftovers. If you do eat out, try
choosing foods that are nutrient-rich and minimally processed (it doesnt hurt to sub veggies for your fries once
in a while either).
4. UNmindful Eating
Bring focus to your food in 2017. Weve all heard of
mindfulness, but did you know this concept can also
be applied to meal time? Distracted eating can lead us
to overeat, so being mindful and taking part in focused
eating helps us manage portion sizes while letting our
senses and satiety cues guide our decisions. Try committing to eating your meals uninterrupted. That means no
screen time or desk-side lunches.
5. Eliminating or Restricting Foods from Your Diet
In 2017 fi
nd a dietary balance that works for you and
challenge the perception of what the word diet means.
Its meant to describe the way we sustain ourselves its
not just about weight management or loss. Eat real food.
When making meals, aim to fill half your plate with vegetables or fruit, then fi ll one quarter with lean protein
like beef and the other with whole grains for a balanced,
healthy meal.
A key learning in the last decade of nutrition research is that we need to replace the 60 per cent of calories Canadians are getting from highly processed foods
with whole, naturally nutrient rich, delicious foods like
beef, says Carol Harrison, registered dietitian with Canada Beef. I stand by Dais message to make healthy eating
a priority. Beef tastes delicious, is an excellent source of
hunger-curbing protein and is chock full of vitamins and
minerals too. Be good to yourself in 2017 and get back to
eating real food.

Minnedosa 4-H Report

By ASHLEY MAGNUSSON
here was a 4H meeting

at the MCI Cafeteria on
Monday January 9th, with
four of the Teen members
and eleven Multipurpose
members present. Roll call
was taken and each member was encouraged to say
what their favourite Christmas present was, instead
of just saying here. Even
the snowy blowy weather
couldnt keep us away!
Each member shared an
update on their project reports and many have been
busy!
Next we discussed
sub-committeesprogress.
So far the Communities in
Bloom and park clean up
committees havent met
due to there being no end
in sight of this snow or cold
weather! Only six weeks
till spring, we will see
about that! YIKES! Those
committees will meet in
the spring time. The subcommittee for swimming
at the Sportsplex reported
that it will take place January 27th, with a pizza party
too. The Minute to Win It
games will take place in
March with games and
a potluck. There are so
many fun times when you

are in 4-H!
As Canada turns 150
years old in 2017, RBC
was able to donate $150 to
some groups. They chose
the 4H Teen Club to donate $150 to, and in turn
the club decided to use the
money for random acts of
kindness. They knew they
wanted to use the money
locally. We reported last
week on the daycare donations of snow saucers,
and cookies to the hard
working staff at the hospital. They also bought and
delivered donuts to the
Minnedosa Fire Fighters,
paid for $20 worth of coffee for random people at
Rosies Bakery, and gave a
donation to the Minnedosa Food Bank. What a terrific idea and group of teen
members we have!
Opportunities in 4-H
are not just local, they
are country wide.
For
our intermediate members, who are aged 12-14
there is an opportunity to
go to Camp Manitou in
April and Alberta in August. Rayna Topham will
be going to Ottawa in July
to a 4-Hers Summit. She
had to fi ll out an applica-
tion and have an interview

and was a successful applicant. Great job Rayna!
There will be a swim night
in Elkhorn called PS2,
with pizza, public speaking, and swimming. They
are also working on a Museum sleepover, which all
sounds like terrific fun,
while meeting new people
and learning new skills.
Last but not least any of our
4-H members that want to
cheer on the Wheat Kings
will get to go to the February 10th game for FREE!
There are so many amazing opportunities when
you belong in 4-H!
The Annual Communications Night is slated for
February 8th, in the Ukrainian Hall. All public is welcome to attend and support our 4-H members. We
will be hosting the Zone
Communications
here
in Minnedosa, on March
10th.
At the end of the meeting Ashley Magnusson did
a fun Skittles get to know
you candy game. ,
Harrison Park Receives Funding

For Municipal Bridge Project
SUBMITTED
reg Nesbitt, MLA for

Riding Mountain, has
announced funding for an
important project that will
improve transportation infrastructure in the Municipality of Harrison Park.
Harrison Park is receiving $146,250 in funding through the Municipal
Road and Bridge Program
(MRBP) for the replacement of an existing timber
structure with a bridge
plate box culvert at the
Lake Audy Bridge. This
contribution represents 50
percent of eligible project
costs. The Municipality
will contribute the remaining costs.
Our Progressive Con-
servative government is
delivering strategic investments in infrastructure
that respond to local priorities and deliver long-term
economic benefits, said
Nesbitt. We will continue
to improve the municipal infrastructure funding
process to make it simpler
and more flexible in order
to ensure that provincial
tax dollars respond to the
needs of Manitoba communities.
Th e MRBP is a new
program that consolidated three previous grants.
This change enhanced the
level of provincial funding
previously made available
through Municipal Road
Improvement, Grant-inAid, and Municipal Bridge
Programs and resulted in a

simpler and more flexible
funding program. Benefits
of the new program include increased accessibility, more responsive funding, and a new streamlined
application process.
Applications for the
MRBP
were
received
through the Provinces
new Single Window infrastructure intake, which
delivered on the governments commitment to reduce red tape, allow more
effi cient access to funding
and ensure that all municipalities have a fair say on
how infrastructure funds
are invested in their communities.

Mens Shed Finds A Home
Photo by Hillary Campbell
The Mens Shed gentleman met in their new clubhouse

at Poplar Park Trailer Court on Tuesday afternoon.
By HILLARY CAMPBELL
innedosas
non-profit
newest
organi-
zation has found a new

home! The Minnedosa
Mens Shed has moved
to the community build-
ing in Poplar Park Trailer

Court. The building was
originally used as a laundromat for the trailer
court and since that time

has housed convenience
stores, hairdressing shop
and housing rental space.
In need of their own space,
the charming young men
will no longer be operating out of the 50+ Centre
in Minnedosa.
The men moved into
their new clubhouse on
Friday, January 6th, when
they brought the tables,
chairs, and the most important thing: the coffee.
However, Tuesday, January 10th was their first real
meeting in their new location.
Their new clubhouse
is paid for in part by themselves, and in part by the
Lions Club of Minnedosa. The Lions Club was
the group that initially
brought the idea of a
Mens Shed to Minnedosa. The Mens Shed group
plans to use their new

space as their base, as well
as their workshop. Here,
they will be able to work
on projects that come to
them.
Currently, their plan
is to make a birdhouse,
but the group is certainly
open to any ideas that the
community may have for
them. In the future they
plan to create raised garden boxes for the Personal
Care Home and they will
also be working together with Communities in
Bloom.
The new space will
be a place where, we can
dirty it up, said Warren
Pearson. As the group is
a non-profit organization,
they would like it to be
known that if anyone in
the community has any
scrap wood, plywood or
any tools they wish to do-
nate, the group would be

very grateful.
The group currently
has about 14 members,
but they are always accepting of anyone who
wishes to become a part
of their group. If anyone
is interested in joining the
group or donating material, they can reach Ken
Woodcock at 867-3532,
Warren Pearsen at 8680703, or Ed Bilcowski at
867-3125.
The collective skillset of the Mens Shed is
varied. There are men
who come from an array
of backgrounds, so that
each member is able to
both teach and learn from
any other member in the
group, as they work together on their projects.
An Inspiring Weekend Retreat Ahead

V
isitors to western
Manitoba have come
to recognize our region as
one with many great attractions to visit. But organizers of the upcoming Valley
Paradise Weekend Retreat
want people to know that
we arent just home to
great scenery, were also
reach in hand on activities
for an enriched visitor experience.
Marlies Soltys, the curator of the Inspire Studio
of Fine Art had the idea
for a womens weekend
retreat here in Minnedosa
which combines art, cuisine, yoga and an invigorating three days that focuses on womens health
and wellness. Partnering
with Allison Burgess of the
Corner Stone Grill, Heidi
Rae Yogini Lifestyle and
Kim Burgess from Valley
Art Therapy, the quartet
has assembled a weekend
with plenty of activities to
explore your creative side
and treat your taste buds.
The program is an
example of an emerging
trend in rural tourism, focusing on the visitor experience instead of the passive approach of simply
marketing a destination.
Increasingly,
travellers
are looking for an authen-
tic experience that allows

them to try their hand at a
local custom and discover
talents that they didnt
know they had. This new
approach to visitation not
only invites new people to
the region, but also sends
them home with a souvenir that they have created
themselves.
Eastman Tourism offers a slate of four programs of a similar nature.
One, called Jammin in
the Heartland invites
guests for a weekend to
pick berries in Grunthal
in the morning and then
turn your yield into jam in
the afternoon that you can

take home or enjoy on site.
Other sessions include
snowmobiling adventures,
a paddling safari and a
forest excursion through
Birds Hill Park. Given our
geography in Minnedosa,
Soltys feels that there is a
lot of potential to develop
a similar package of activities for those that are interested to fully experience
what the valley has to offer.
For the Valley Paradise
Retreat, the weekend begins on Friday evening with
a wine and cheese reception at the Inspire Studio
which will include a music
appreciation sound circle. Saturday begins with

a morning yoga session
with Heidi Rae followed by
a group art therapy session
led by Kim Burgess. The
afternoon includes an art
class sponsored by Inspire
Studio and the evening begins in the kitchen as Corner Stone Grill chef Allison
Burgess leads the group
in the creation of artisanal
pizzas for supper. Sunday
morning will include more
activities hosted at the Inspire Studio with breakfast
wraps and mimosas for all
patrons. There will also be
some open time through-
out the weekend for patrons looking to engage

in some retail therapy in
downtown Minnedosa.
What we really want
is for ladies to allow themselves the gift of time,
says Soltys. Come for the
weekend, and just let your-
self be creative and explore

new talents.

A Fistful of Finches: A Review of the Christmas Bird Count

Moments
in Riding
Mountain
By KEN KINGDON
his has been a crazy

year for finches this
year. We had brace
yourselves - a total of nine
fi nch species reported at
our annual Christmas Bird
Count, more than in any
other year.
Brand new to the
list was the inclusion of
house finches. While they
werent counted on the actual day of the count, they
were spotted at Celes and
Sue Davars feeder during
the count week (the three
days just prior to, and following, the count). While
house fi nches have been
spotted in the local region
a few times in summers
past, this is the first time

they have been counted
on the Christmas Bird
Count.
In addition to the
house finches, American
goldfi nch, purple finches,
evening and pine grosbeaks, both common and
hoary redpolls, pine siskins and white-winged
crossbills were all spotted
during the count period.
Th is means that the
only missing winter finch
were red crossbills. This
is not totally unexpected
as red crossbills are relatively rare in the area and
are more likely seen in
small numbers, feeding
on cones in pine trees.
Besides the house
finches, the other big deal
was the number of purple
fi nches hanging around.
Previous to this year,
purple fi nches had been

only counted a handful of

times, with a maximum
of 8 birds spotted. Thus,
having 30 birds show up is
quite a change. Coupled
with the other sightings, I
can hardly contain my excitement.
Im not the only one
excited. Winter finches
are a bit of a big deal for
birders south of the border. Americans like it
when Canadian birds dip
down into the States for
a visit. This happens infrequently, so folks from
Minnesota and North
Dakota will occasionally
track north to our area for
a winter visit just to see
these birds in their home
territory.
And in case you are
wondering what makes for
a year where these birds
decide to stick around all
winter, dont bother asking. Its one of those mysteries that only the birds
themselves can answer,
and to use prison vernacular, they aint singing
So, as a readers digest version of the results,
there were a total of 33
species seen during the
week, with snow buntings,
numbering 374, being the
most abundant, followed
by black-capped chickadees at 333, and evening
grosbeaks at 213.
Which actually raises
one issue. The count of
evening grosbeaks continues to be on the low
side, although their numbers were higher than last
years record low count.
In last years report I mentioned that evening grosbeaks are declining across
the country and, as a result, this year they were

added to the growing list
of species at risk in Canada, designated as a species of special concern.
On the bright side of
things, the spotting of two
northern shrikes and four
great grey owls was a delight (my editor suggested
I change this word, but I
WAS delighted). This is
an above average number
of sightings for both species. The shrikes are likely attracted to the larger
number of small finches
hanging around feeders as
these birds are one of the
shrikes favourite dining
treats.
The increase in great
grey owl numbers may refl ect a push-pull effect.
Voles and mice populations rise and fall irregularly throughout the boreal forest. As a result, some
forest areas will have an
abundance of small mammals while other areas will
have low numbers.
Th is year, our area
seems to be home to higher populations of both
red-backed and meadow
voles, judging from the
number of tracks in the
snow.
Thus, great grey owls
may be pushed from areas of low small mammal
densities, and are pulled
to this area because their
prey are abundant. This
wont last forever, so be
sure take some time while
in the Wasagaming area
to look for these beautiful
birds hunting in the ditches and in meadows.

YOUR
CLIENTELE
The
Minnedosa
Christmas Cheer Board
would like to extend sincere thanks to the many
individuals, organizations
and businesses that so
generously supported and
assisted us for the past
Christmas season. With all
your donations and help
we were able to prepare
65 hampers that included
food, toys and knitted
items. Thank you to all the
knitters for their time and
talent for the knitting. A
big thank you to the Valley Cruisers Car Club for
moving supplies, getting
tables and delivering the
hampers. Your help is very
much appreciated! Thanks
to Dave and Shannon Alexander for the great space to
use as our headquarters.
Last but not least a big
thanks to all the workers
who assisted in preparing the hampers and all
that goes in to organizing
things. x
It is with difficulty that
we express our gratitude for
the many kind deeds shown
our family as we dealt with
the death of Mom, Grandma,
and Sister Shirley Delmage.
Dr. Onyshko and the staff at
Minnedosa Personal Care
Home showed such compassion and respect, both to
Mom and the family in her
final days. She so enjoyed life
in the brief time she resided
at PCH. Thanks to them. The
leadership of Nathan and his
staff from Minnedosa Funeral
service was invaluable as we
navigated through the complex details of planning the
funeral. Minnedosa United
Church provided a wonderful, warm, inviting venue for
the funeral. Thank you to
Elgin Hall for leading the worship, to Eleanor and choir for
providing glorious music, to
the UC ladies for a delicious
lunch, and to Hilton for setting up and managing the
sound system. We so appreciated friends and family who
were able to join us and those
who were unable to be there
but showed their concern in
many ways. Cards, flowers,
gifts of food, yard clearing,
kind words, and hugs all combined to ease our pain. How
blessed we are to be part of a
community where grief is divided by so many acts of kindness. The Family of Shirley
Delmage.

MICELLANEOUS
Taken from A Medical
Point of View by Professor V.
Wright - HURRY, WORRY,
BURY has been the epitaph
suggested for many people
in this world. The increasing number of people taking
drugs, the rising incidents
of stress-related diseases,
the frequency of attempted
suicides reflect sadly on our
modern day society and do
demand an answer. No doubt
that a proper regard for the
Lords Day would help improve these problems. Speaking as a physician there are
good reasons physically,
mentally and spiritually why
we should set aside the first
day of the week as a special
day unto the Lord.. Visit our
website www.clda.ca
OBITUARIES
SHIRLEY JEANNE DELMAGE
DECEMBER 29TH, 1924 - DECEMBER 24TH, 2016
Shirley Jeanne Delmage died peacefully at Minnedosa Personal Care Home. She was five days short of her 92nd birthday.
She was born at Foxwarren, MB, the eldest daughter of Thorpe
and Donalda McPherson. Sister Sheila and Brothers Barry and
Jim followed.
After high school graduation she attended Normal School in
Winnipeg, training to become a teacher. She began her career
as a teacher in the Cameron District North of Minnedosa. It was
there that she met her future husband. She and Ray Delmage
were married in July 1946 and together they farmed and raised
four children on the Delmage family farm. In 1968 Rays failing health forced them to sell the farm and purchase a home in
Minnedosa. Ray died in 1970. Shirley remained in their home
until moving to Kin House in August 2016 and finally to PCH
in October.
As a 92 year old Shirley mourned the loss of many loved
ones (family and friends). She is survived by Sister Sheila and
Brother Jim (Rosie) and Sisters-in Law, June McPherson., Ruth,
Doreen and Gwen Delmage. As well she leaves her children,
Linda (Tom), Doug (Sharon), Ian (Colleen), and Colin (Debby).
She was blessed with 10 Grandchildren and 17 Great Grandchildren.
Family and Friends remember her fondly.
WILBERT CAMPBELL MCLEOD
Wilbert Campbell McLeod was
born at Shoal Lake, Manitoba on
January 29, 1917. Wilbert was
the youngest of a family of 11
children born to Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas McLeod of Shoal Lake.
Wilbert received his education
at Raven Lake Country School.
In 1934 the family moved to the
Strathclair District. In 1940 Wilbert went to Toronto, ON where he
worked for several years. While there
he met Eileen Loades who became
his wife in November of 1942. Wilbert, always
having a desire to return to Manitoba returned and settled in
Minnedosa in 1951; where he worked for the GM dealer Thoms
Motors Ltd. selling automobiles. In 1960 he purchased the business and operated it until 1974 when he sold the business and
retired.
In 1951 Wilbert and family had the opportunity and privilege
to attend some Gospel meeting that was held in Minnedosa by
two of Gods true messengers. As they listened in those meetings they realized there were changes needed in their lives and
they made the choice to follow Jesus and continued to do so
right to the end.
Wilbert was predeceased by his parents, five brothers, five
sisters and his wife Eileen in August of 2011.
Left to grieve his passing are his children Vinola Nonie McLeod of Minot, ND, sons Wayne (Debbie) of Brandon and Warren
(Connie) of Neepawa; six grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren
and one great great grandchild and several nieces and nephews.
A funeral service was held on January 5th, 2017 at the Minnedosa Community Conference Centre with interment following
in the Minnedosa Cemetery. Donations may be made to the
Heart and Stroke Foundation of MB.
Minnedosa Funeral Service in care of arrangements.

REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
I need a laundry stain
remover solution using
vinegar, water and baking
soda. Lynne
Dear Lynne,
Here is a spot remover that you can use
to pre-treat stains as well
as several other machine
washable, colourfast fab-
rics. Into a spray bottle

combine: Two third cups
ammonia (or vinegar),
two third cups Dawn dish
soap, one quarter cup
baking soda and 2 cups
warm water. Spray fabric
and wash with heavy-duty
detergent. Or boil fabric in
10 cups water and one cup
washing soda. Boil for five
minutes and hang outside
to dry (test on inconspicuous area first).
Dear Reena,
What is the best way
to clean my iron? The bottom plate looks brown as
if it has baked on residue
on it. Helen
Dear Helen,
Take two tablespoons
baking soda and add
enough water to make a
paste. Apply the paste to
your iron and scrub it with
an abrasive cloth. Rinse.
Dear Reena,
How does one get just
beyond where the brush
goes in cleaning the toilet where the bowl turns
back? There is some blackness there I would love to
boil out or whatever. Tina
Dear Tina,
The absolute best
helper for the area where
the toilet interior turns
black is to purchase a
small pumice stone. You

to the pumice stone and
gently scrub the toilet inside. Although pumice
stones will scratch bathtubs they dont normally
scratch toilet bowls but,
always test on a small area
first. Pumice is better than
an abrasive cloth; just as a
