Mixed Feelings About Education Funding
By HILLARY MILLER
T he provincial gov-
ernment’s education
funding plan has been
released, and there are
strong opinions reflecting
both sides of the plan.
The plan proposes
to invest $1.323 billion in
public education for the
2018-2019 school year,
which is an increase of $6.6
million or 0.5%.
Education and Train-
ing Minister Ian Wishart
said, “we continue to pro-
vide significant funding
to give students the best
education possible while
we carefully steer Mani-
toba back onto a respon-
sible fiscal track.” The de-
cision comes with hopes
that school divisions cre-
ate their budgets accord-
Ladies Bonspiel Sees Increased Registration
By HILLARY MILLER
T he Minnedosa Ladies’
Bonspiel was held
from February 9th to Feb-
ruary 11th at the Minnedo-
sa Curling Club.
There were 15 teams
entered, which is an in-
crease from the last two
years, when the bonspiel
saw only a dozen teams
participating. The bon-
spiel was sponsored by
Minnedosa Credit Union,
ingly and responsibly, and
consider the impact their
decisions have on local
ratepayers and Manitoba
taxpayers.
For the 2018-19 school
year, Wishart has directed
school divisions to limit
increases to their local
education property tax to
two percent. He noted that
the Public Services Sus-
tainability Act wage freeze
would alleviate some ex-
penditure pressure on di-
visions. This also includes
a 15% reduction to the ex-
isting administration cost
caps, which include the
board of trustees, super-
intendent and secretary
treasurer’s departments,
which have increased by
$5.6 million (nine percent)
over the past three years.
“It is imperative we re-

when they finished their
games. Heritage Co-op

were also major sponsors
for the event. Winder not-

lot of donations from local
businesses in the Rainbow
Auction.
In addition to the Na-

while protecting front line
services,” said the minis-
ter. “This new approach
does not unfairly penal-
ize divisions who have al-
ready made the effort to
streamline administrative
costs, as budgets show all
divisions were below their
respective caps in the past
three years, and many
spent well below the limit
on administration,” said
Wishart.
Keystone Agriculture
Producers (KAP) feel that
this plan is in line with the
needs of many. “Farm-
ers pay a disproportionate
amount of education taxes
because they are billed on
their land, and an aver-
age size farm these days
is about 1,200 acres. Our

Missy Inkster and her staff
and music provided by
DJ Niccilea, also known
as Nicci Inkster. This also
allowed bonspiel partici-
pants the opportunity to

friends and competitors.
According to Amanda
Winder, one of the orga-
nizers for the bonspiel, “it

tion funding was devel-
oped in an era when the
average farm size was 160
acres and there were one-
room schoolhouses,” said
Dan Mazier, President of
KAP. He noted that un-
less school systems reduce
their mill rates, the educa-
tion tax bills that farmers
pay would continue to rise,
and they would struggle
to absorb any additional
costs.
The plan also wishes to
see teacher collective bar-
gaining streamlined to a
single provincial bargain-
ing table. Currently, Mani-
toba is the only province
where teacher collective
bargaining is negotiated
locally and separately be-
tween each school board
and its local teacher’s asso-
ciation. Wishart claimed,

“we want to put teachers

The recent announce-
ment does not sit well with
our province’s educators.
Manitoba Teacher’s Soci-
ety (MTS) President, Norm
Gould, believes that the
funding announcement
is a huge disappointment
and does not reflect the
needs of the students or
the teachers. “Teachers

A nother new business

has recently opened in
Minnedosa. Shay McLe-
nehan and his father, Terry
opened Special FX Pro-
ductions in January, and
they are very excited about
the new venture.
The new business pro-
vides various video film-
ing and editing services.
Shay noted that they do
not only deal in videos,
but that they want to help
people with social media
and getting engaged with
their desired audiences.
“Essentially, our company
is to help people out with
video production,” stated
Shay. So many websites to-
day use video content, and
he has the skill set to help
them make effective vid-
eos for their purpose.
Currently, the McLe-
nehans are working out of
their home. Terry is work-
ing on the budgeting and
marketing for the project,
and Shay is the creative ex-
pert on the team. “I’m the

edit it,” he said.
The idea for the com-
pany came to him a year
dent at ACC, and entered
a contest for Newsline, a
collection of news stories.
He attended Minnedosa’s
Skate the Lake and put to-
gether a video on the out-
door pond hockey tour-
nament weekend. “That
got the attention of a lot of
people who were at Skate
the Lake, who saw my
news video, and it got a re-
ally good reception,” said
Shay. The positive feed-
back he received left Shay
and Terry thinking about
the idea for a new busi-
ness. The pair wanted to
get more positive reactions
from more people in their
own desired fields, espe-
cially around Manitoba
and thus, Special FX Pro-
ductions was born.
In October, Shay par-
ticipated in the What’s

berry and walked away
with $1,450 in funding to
help launch his business.
His business concept was
awarded “Best Overall
Idea”.
ing what this business
means to everyone else.
“What is the meaning of
Special FX to most people?
For some people it could
be a name or putting fancy
titles and special effects
into videos, and to some
people it could be that
they really want to show
the world and the internet
what they can achieve, and
what is special to them,”
said Shay. He noted that
part of the excitement of
being a first-time business
owner is trying to find the
identity and purpose that
Special FX can bring to
people.
So far, the biggest
challenge that Shay has
found is anticipating the
competition in his busi-
ness as a couple of his
friends are following simi-
lar paths and planning to
open businesses. This will
mean competition with
rates, equipment, services
ment, Shay has a standard
4K camera, lights, tripods
and a GoPro. He hopes to
acquire a state-of-the-art
drone in the future in order
to do aerial shots.
In the process of open-
ing his business, Shay is
especially grateful for his
partner - his father, who
helped him to research
equipment to make sure
that they had the right
pieces to elevate the pro-
ductions to higher stan-
dards. “Research is the
most important thing for
opening up a business and
making sure you have the
right stuff to compete with
the industry,” he said.
Shay plans to stick
around Minnedosa for
now, and eventually
branch out to other areas
in Manitoba. “I’m excited,
I’m motivated, and I can’t
wait to help people out,” he
said.

Around
Town...
By Darryl Holyk
Lady Identified…
The February 2nd edition of The Tribune featured an
old photo of a young unknown woman. After seeing the
photo in the paper, Winnipeg subscriber, Lorne Curwen,
was able to solve the mystery of who the lady was. Born
and raised in the Basswood District, her married name was
Marguerite Wheatfield and she was the daughter of Marga-
ret Woods (Curwen). Her father, Dave Curwen Sr. ran the
Ogilvie Elevator at Basswood. The connection makes sense
as the house the photo was found in once belonged to mem-
bers of the Curwen family.
A Weekend at the lake…
People often flock to Minnedosa Lake during the long
weekends during the hot summer months but since in recent
years, the Louis Riel Day long weekend in February has also
attracted a large crowd to our frozen lake. This weekend will
mark the 12th annual Skate the Lake outdoor fundraising
pond hockey tournament. This year’s event, running Satur-
day and Sunday, will feature the first annual Rock the Lake
stick curling funspiel. At press time, there were a total of 45
teams registered in the various weekend divisions. There are
15 teams registered in the men’s division with six teams in
the women’s division. The kids division will see 12 teams at
various age and skill level including Novice, Atom, PeeWee
and Bantam. For the new curling aspect of the weekend, 12
two-person teams have registered. Be sure to head out to the
lake this weekend and cheer on our teams – games will run
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days.

Pallister Last Conservative
Carbon Tax Supporter
By TODD MACKAY
Prairie Director,
Canadian Taxpayers Federation
I t must have been tough to be the last person to
buy a pair of bellbottoms. Imagine the frustration
of finally succumbing to a strange fashion just be-
fore it becomes utterly unfashionable. It seems the
premier of Manitoba is in the political equivalent of
that very problem. Premier Brian Pallister is the last
conservative leader in the country who supports a
carbon tax.
Until recently, Pallister could hangout with On-
tario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown
at the cool kids’ carbon tax table. Then Brown got
booted amid misconduct allegations. And out of the
Ontario PC Party chaos one certainty emerged: the
next leader will oppose a carbon tax. “I will axe the
carbon tax,” stated leadership candidate Doug Ford.
“Just watch me.” “I personally oppose a carbon tax,”
stated fellow leadership candidate Christine Elliott.
“I know many of you feel the same way.” “The last
thing we should consider is a new tax,” stated the fi-
nal leadership candidate Caroline Mulroney. “As the
Leader of our party I will not support a carbon tax.”
Pallister must be wondering what happened. He
had carbon tax advocate David McLaughlin  flying
back and forth from Ottawa to assure him that only
backward bumpkins oppose the inevitable scheme.
But people who disparage Ford’s populist appeal do
so at their political peril and nobody could credibly
accuse accomplished and intelligent women such
as Elliott and Mulroney of being backward.
It’s a good bet one of these candidates will be
the next premier. Even in the immediate aftermath
of Brown’s departure, a poll shows the Ontario PCs
at 42 per cent with the Liberals at 27 per cent and
the NDP at 23 per cent. Canada’s largest province is
poised to join the fight against Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau’s carbon tax. And, of course, events in On-
tario are only the latest evidence of a strengthening
anti-carbon-tax consensus.
Saskatchewan’s new premier is vowing to main-
tain the policy of outgoing premier Brad Wall. “We

will not impose a carbon tax on the good people of
this province,” said Premier Scott Moe in his accep-
tance speech. Every candidate to lead the governing
Saskatchewan Party supported that stand, including
Gord Wyant, who was a federal Liberal until he tore
up his membership card because of the carbon tax.
Alberta’s United Conservative Party leader Ja-
son Kenney is equally unequivocal. “The NDP’s job-
killing carbon tax is hurting Alberta’s economy,” stat-
ed Kenny. “It’s time to unite Alberta and eliminate
carbon taxes.” Like Ontario and Saskatchewan, there
was consensus opposition to carbon taxes among
Alberta Conservative leadership candidates. Polls in
that province have Conservatives at 56 per cent and
the governing NDP at 26 per cent. It’s looking like
the next election will end Alberta’s carbon tax.
And, of course, the federal Conservatives op-
pose carbon taxes. “The Liberal carbon tax is noth-
ing more than a cash grab,” said Conservative leader
Andrew Scheer. “I will repeal it.”
This leaves Pallister utterly isolated among Con-
servatives on the issue of carbon taxes. That’s a prob-
lem. Manitoba will be at a competitive disadvantage
if its neighbours in Ontario and Saskatchewan don’t
impose carbon taxes. If Conservative premiers in Al-
berta, Saskatchewan and Ontario all fight Ottawa’s
carbon tax, will Pallister really put Manitoba on the
other side with Prime Minister Trudeau?
But, of course, being uncool at a future First
Ministers’ meeting is the least of Pallister’s worries.
He’s offside with Manitobans on carbon taxes, espe-
cially his own supporters. Insightrix Research found
that 50 per cent of Manitobans oppose a carbon
tax, while 31 support it and 19 per cent are unsure.
Among Conservative voters, 76 per cent are op-
posed.
Happily, the PC platform included a mecha-
nism Pallister can use to adjust his policy: a commit-
ment to hold a referendum on proposed tax hikes.
Pallister needs to respect Manitobans’ right to vote
the carbon tax. When it comes to political fashions
it’s important to listen to the people or you might
get caught with your bellbottoms down at the ballot
box.

Hey Minnedosa!
CENTRAL PLAINS CANCER SERVICES
NEEDS YOUR HELP!
In Manitoba, twenty people a day are given a cancer diagnosis.
This diagnosis will stop people in their tracks and they will need to rely on
friends and family to get them through that fight. They will also need to
rely on the valuable services that Central Plains Cancer Services provides.
This grassroots organization gives right back to the people in their own
communities who are facing the biggest battle of their lives. In 2017
alone, CPCS provided 1,022 rides for Cancer Patients
to their cancer related appointments.
Central Plains Cancer Services is in need of your help. In April of each year,
canvassers around the region go door-to-door soliciting much needed
funds for our organization. Some of our zone leaders have been involved
in our organization since 1999, and although we are extremely grateful for
their support and service, we understand that it’s important for them to
pass the torch. We need some new faces leading our communities. We are
in need of people who want to give back to this valuable organization as
canvassers, zone leaders and community champions.
There is truly nothing more rewarding than giving back
directly to the community you live in.
Not every community has a door-to-door campaign. Some
communities choose to have a donation program where CPCS is the
chosen charity. Smaller communities have held their own fundraising
events where proceeds are given to us. Every little bit helps, and every
single penny stays within our communities to help those in our
community who need our valuable resources.
The need for our services continues to grow every year. We need the
communities that we support do their part to help us continue to help
those facing a life changing cancer diagnosis. Not only does our
organization help the patient, but we help their loved ones cope and be
supportive. In order to continue to do this and continue to provide
support in our surrounding communities we need people to step up
and help us raise valuable funds.
If you are someone looking to give back and make a
difference in the lives of others, please contact Central Plains Cancer
Services. We need to continue to raise funds so that we can continue
to help those who have been given a cancer diagnosis.

oughly enjoyed writing
the book, and is “beyond
excited”. Having lived in
Minnedosa for 16 years,
she said the idea for the
book just popped into her
head one day when she was
cleaning her room. “One of
the scenes of Violet being
chased through the maze
by one of the monsters,”
was what popped into her
head, and it then became
a novella, a screenplay for
the University of Winni-
peg, and her Independent
Professional Project.
Half of the proceeds
that Woychyshyn gets
from the sale of her book
she will donate to an or-
ganization in Downtown
Winnipeg that helps peo-
ple with mental health is-
sues. “They have definitely
helped me, and a couple of
friends through some dark
times, and since The Violet
Circus has scenes of grief,
despair and depression, I
figured it would be the per-
fect pairing,” she said.
“The Violet Circus
largely got inspired by the
9
darkest couple of years in
my life”, said Woychyshyn,
“I really tried to write that
into the story, and I found
that to be hard at times be-
cause it was bringing up
stuff that I’m really happy I
was able to write through”.
She noted that getting
things down on paper has
been helpful for her as

Cathy Curtis’s daugh-

“There can be great vulner-
ability when someone has
challenges in life. Despair and
confusion will set in due to life
situations and stresses.  We
want people to have tools and

Core components of the

peer support and meaningful
connections to community
resources. These interven-
tions are evidence-based to
improve symptoms of mental
health. At the end of the pro-

ganizations across Winnipeg
will be invited to meet with
their programs in further de-

include physical activity op-

programming such as garden-
ing and spending time with
children.
“My Mom, Cathy was
a dedicated mom to three
children,” recalls Janelle De-
Peazer. “Cathy had a strong
faith and passion for children,
gardening, nature, reading,
amongst many other things.
Cathy was a selfless and giv-

help her friends and family.
The Turning Pages program
has been developed in having
Cathy’s interests and charac-

Adding Heart And Soul With Milk Paint

By Hillary Miller you can, but with a lot of using during that specific
work,” said McVey. “Milk session. Typically, Megan

M egan McVey has

turned a hobby into
a home business, and it’s
really neat! She has be-
gun selling milk paint,
and hosting workshops for
people in the community
to help them become more
familiar with the product.
Her new company is Ser-
endipity Paint Company
which officially opened in
December.
When her youngest
child left home, McVey
wanted something outside
of her day job to help keep
her busy and help her stay
connected to the commu-
nity. “Painting, crafting
and furniture finds have
always been a passion of
mine, and I thought that
‘maybe that’s something I
can get into,’” she said.
McVey has been us-
ing milk paint for the past
couple of years for her own
projects, and she thought
other people would get as
much joy from the prod-
ucts as she does. “That just
kind of blossomed from
there”, she said. She got in
touch with Miss Mustard
Seed’s Milk Paint com-
pany, which is based out
of Toronto and opened in
2012. McVey reached out,
and as it just so happened
they were looking for re-
tailers in this area.
One of the benefits
that Megan appreciates
Serendipity Paint Company,
the home-based business of Megan McVey.
about the milk paint is
that it comes in powdered
form, so you only need to
mix as much paint as you
need, and the rest can be
stored indefinitely without
going off. Milk paint is not
a new concept, and she
notes that it is probably the
oldest form of paint known
to man. It is an all natural,
non-toxic and biodegrad-
able paint. It is made up of
five simple ingredients: ca-
sein (milk protein), chalk,
clay, limestone and natural
pigment.
Milk paint allows users
to transform a dated piece
of furniture into something
new that can be re-loved.

“You can really create ping. You can create things
some unique old looks, that you can’t get with the
some old farmhouse looks, modern-day paints that
and some unique chip- you get today, or maybe
paint doesn’t sit on top like
modern day paints, but
instead, allows the grain
to show through and just
really become part of the
piece. It has a lot of char-
acter and soul, and looks
like it’s been a part of the
piece forever when you put
it on.”
Serendipity Paint
Company is open Wednes-
days from 5 p.m to 8 p.m.
and Saturdays from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. She noted
that she is also willing to
open for appointments
if people cannot make it
during the allotted times.
She also hosts workshops
in which participants work
with milk paint, learn tech-
niques and create a beau-
tiful piece of artwork.
Workshops are priced
depending on what ma-
terials the group will be
uses raw wood, and helps
people paint signs, wall
sconces, and whatever else
she might be able to come
up with.
She enjoys holding the
workshops, and staying
connected with the com-
munity. “I like to see the
expression on people’s fac-
es when they finish their
project.” she said. “At first,
a lot of people are intimi-
dated by paint, especially
a new paint that is kind of
different, but I think ev-
erybody is fairly pleased
when they leave with what
they’ve accomplished.”
She encourages peo-
ple to come to the work-
shops and check it out, and
to not be intimidated by
the fact that this is a home-
based business, rather
than a store-front on Main
Street.
