The next closest candidate in the local riding, trailing

Mazier by 19,538 votes, was Laverne Lewycky, who once
again threw his hat in the ring for the New Democrats.
Lewycky received 5,404 votes. Coming in a close third
was the Liberal party who came on board late in the race
with Cathy Scofield-Singh as their local riding candidate.
5,103 Westman Liberals cast their vote for her during the
election. The candidate coming in fourth in Dauphin-
Swan River-Neepawa was the Green Party’s Kate Storey
with 2,090 votes. Electors in the local riding also cast 700
votes for People’s Party candidate, Frank Godon and 447
votes for Jennie Johnson of the Christian Heritage Party.
Comparing Monday’s election to the last Feder-
al election in 2015, the local riding saw some notable
changes. Voter turnout in Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa
was down slightly from 65.2 percent in 2015 to 62.68 per-
cent in 2019. Even though there were fewer voters cast-
ing their ballots in Monday’s election, three-of-the-four
returning political parties saw an increase in votes over
the 2015 election. The Conservatives gained more than
5,600 votes this time around – in 2015, MP Sopuck was
re-elected with 19,276 votes. The Green Party and its re-
turning candidate, Kate Storey gained almost 500 votes
over the 1,592 they received in 2015. Another returning
candidate, Leverne Lewycky and the NDP gained just
over 300 votes over the 5,097 votes earned in the previ-
ous election. However, the local riding lost a great deal
of support for the Liberal party in this year’s election. In
2015, local Liberal candidate, Ray Piche, earned more
than 7,000 votes over this year’s candidate. In the previ-
ous election, Piche earned 12,276 votes putting the Lib-
erals in second behind M.P. Sopuck and the Conserva-
tives. The fourth candidate to run in the 2015 election
in Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa was former M.P. Inky
Mark, Independent earning 3,357 votes.

Arts Funding…
Manitoba Government’s Consolidated Arts Pro-
gram has awarded funding to two local performing
arts groups. The Minnedosa Performing Arts Commit-
tee (Expressions) will receive $3,500, while the Strath-
clair and District Theatre Committee Inc. will receive
$8,290. The announcement was made last week by the
Honourable Cathy Cox, Minister of Sports, Culture
and Heritage. “These organizations encourage the
participation of citizens in the performing and visual
arts which adds to the vibrancy of living in rural Mani-
toba,” said Riding Mountain MLA Greg Nesbitt.
Fall planting…
Following the recent snowstorm, the snow had
melted enough for local Communities in Bloom vol-
unteers to get back out digging in the flowerbeds. On
Sunday, October 20th, local Bloom volunteers Cher-
yl Orr, Kathy Grant, Lori Cooper and Susan Carlson
planted Liberation 75 tulip bulbs at the Minnedosa
Personal Care Home. These bulbs were developed in
honour of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the
Netherlands in 2020 and all Canadians who served in
World War Two. These bright orange tulips will be en-
joyed by local PCH staff and residents next spring.
Two to go…
Today, being October 25th reminds us that in ex-
actly two short months, it will be Christmas Day once
again. The countdown is on and it is coming whether
we are ready or not.
Tickets….

Celebrating Small Business
By DARRYL HOLYK
I t’s Small Business Week in Canada and we all have
something to celebrate. Whether you are a small
business owner, employee, customer or client you
should be thankful for small businesses!
How important are small businesses? Extremely
important. Do we need small businesses? Of course
we do! Disagree? Just stop and think for a moment
what our Minnedosa business district (or the busi-
ness district of any community) would look like
without small businesses. Remove your commu-
nity’s small businesses and you would be left with a
pretty sad, lonely, abandoned picture.
Still not convinced? Let’s analyze some num-
bers. According to Stats Canada, more than 95 per-
cent of Canadian businesses fall under the category
of the small or medium size businesses category.
That means a business with less than 500 employ-
ees.
Here in Manitoba, the largest number of busi-
nesses, over 38,000, are classified as small business,
employing one to 99 people. There are just over 800
medium sized businesses in the province with 100
to 499 people on that payroll and just greater than
100 businesses classified as large scale with 500 or
more employees. As the numbers show – small busi-
nesses really do keep our economy moving!
There is really no simple, black and white defi-
nition for a small business as each one is diverse and
unique in its own way. It could be a simple, single
person operation running out of a single room in a
home or it could be a large, well known store with
numerous employees. Both serve a purpose and a
specific need in their community or for their cus-
tomers and clientele. Both are equally important
and should be recognized and celebrated.
Small businesses face many challenges on a
day to day basis. There are always expenses to pay
including taxes, utilities, wages, supplies, merchan-
dise, etc. Sadly, many times, smaller businesses have
to pay more for their merchandise as big chains as
they are purchasing smaller quantities. Often, as a
result of this alone, the small business either has to
sell at a greater retail price or have a smaller profit
margin on items in order to compete anywhere
close to some of the large stores! At the end of the
year, the businesses expenses will hopefully come in

smaller than the revenue so that there is a year-end
profit. No business can survive without a profit!
Today, more than ever, small businesses are
also battling more competition than ever before.
Not only do they have to fight the big box stores and
large urban businesses, but they now also have to
battle against the ease and access of worldwide on-
line shopping which can be done almost instantly
from anywhere at any hour.
As customers and clientele it is also important
for all of us to remember that small business own-
ers and employees also deserve to have some time
to themselves with non-business related activities.
Let’s remember that businesses have hours of op-
eration for a reason and most small businesses are
not available 24 hours seven-days-a-week. Employ-
ers and employees have normal lives and deserve
privacy or time with family and friends just like ev-
eryone else. When you see a small business owner
or employee out for dinner or at an event outside of
business hours hold back from bombarding them
with business related talk, concerns or questions.
Unless it is an emergency, such as an unexpected
plumbing or heating disaster, you can probably wait
until they are back to work to deal with your need or
issue during their business hours.
Show your support and respect for your com-
munity’s small businesses throughout the year but
during Small Business Week, be sure to celebrate
the small businesses you have so easily accessible in
your home community!

S aturday, October 19th
saw the return of the
Minnedosa and District
Recreation Commission’s
Annual Sports Dinner. This
is the 22nd year for the
event which was held at
the Minnedosa Communi-
ty Conference Centre and
once again saw a packed
house. The Sports Dinner
was created to raise money
for local sports within the
Minnedosa area, returning
funds right back into the
community.
The event is a favourite
for several people, both
near and far, as it provides
a little something for ev-
eryone. The evening con-
sisted of cocktails, a meet
and great with special
guests, a delicious buffet
style meal, hat auction, si-
lent auction, treasure chest
and 50/50. Keynote speak-
ers for the evening includ-
ed former Major League
Baseball relief pitcher, Roy
Duane Ward and Jesse
Lee Barfield, a former Ma-
jor League Baseball  right
fielder. Hometown girl,
Abigail Turner was the
evenings emcee and kept
things moving like a well-
oiled machine. Turner is
the daughter of Derrick

T he volunteers of the
Little Valley Jamboree
recently presented the do-
nations from the 22nd An-

son on June 15th and 16th,
the committee was able to
distribute $13,000 to each
of this year’s recipients.

dedicated countless hours
to the community and
sports. (see separate story
for details)
This year’s keynote
with Duane and Jesse went
a little different than other
years. The pair did an in-
terview type setting where
there was lots of banter
and laughter from both the
speakers and the audience
there is fluid on the brain
and his brain is smaller in
size than average. His mo-
tor skills are affected and
he is non-commutative.
Blake has a special stroller
that can be attached to
his brother’s wheelchair,
which means his mom can
take both boys out for a
walk at the same time. The
money raised will help the
family with day to day ex-
penses and medical treat-
ments for Blake.

Abigail. “They made the
crowd laugh a lot and the
crowd was very engaged
throughout it all. It was
nice that they did an in-
terview setting so we had
some questions answered
that may not normally
would have been,” said

year-old from Rivers. Ella
has a rare genetic condi-
tion known as Kabuki Syn-
drome. Kabuki Syndrome
affects one in 32,000 indi-
viduals globally, and af-
fects each person differ-
ently. In Ella’s case she was
born with a critical con-
genital heart defect where
the left half of her heart did
not develop as it should.
Ella sees many specialists
and therapies, and often
times this means over-
night stays in Winnipeg
“I think the event went
over very well, especially
for it being the first one
that I have planned,” joked
Kuby. “We had a great
turnout of people and have
received a lot of positive
feedback. It was good to
see a different crowd of
people there who enjoy
baseball so much, as it was
the first time that the Rec-
reation Commission has
done a Baseball Themed
Sports Dinner.”
One of the big win-
ners of the evening was
Terry McLenehan, who
won the autographed Ro-
berto Alomar hall of fame
jersey at the silent auction.
Other big winners of the
evening included; John
Quail and RBC who both
had the honor of enjoying
their meals with the guest
speakers, Dan Johnson
and Rick Saler, who were
the highest bidders on the
two Blue Jays jerseys and
were able to get them au-
tographed by Duane and
Jesse in person. The two
highest hats went for $340
for the Oilers and $310 for
Avalanche. Dave Pollon
won the Treasure Chest
Photos submitted
and missed work for her
mom. The money raised
will help offset these costs,
as well as help cover the
costs of multiple medica-
tions.
The Jamboree is an

two tickets to Celebrations

ba Moose game and a one-
night stay at the Fort Gary
Canad Inns. The 50/50 was
won by Nettie Dagg who
won approximately $600.
“I was very pleased
with the amount of people
who showed up, although
I don’t think it would have
been as successful without
the help of my amazing
Board of Directors, I defi-
nitely couldn’t have done
it without them,” expressed
Kuby. The 2019-20 board

CP Holiday Train Headed Back To Minnedosa

By KAREN MITCHELL According to Keith
Creel, CP’s President and

W ith the colder

weather comes the
thoughts of the upcoming
holiday season. An area
tradition for many is to
bundle up, grab family and
friends and trek out to see
the CP Holiday Train.
Minnedosa and area
residents will be able to
view the train as it rolls
through town on Tues-
day, December 3rd at 4:15
p.m. west of the historic
Minnedosa train station.
The program will run
approximately 30 minutes
before it departs for Shoal
Lake at 4:45 p.m. The holi-
Tribune File photo day train also collects non-
perishable food and funds
The CP Holiday Train as seen during its last visit to Minnedosa in 2017. across their route to con-
tribute to area food banks
across North America.
When contributing to such
causes, be sure to always
check expiry dates prior to
drop off.
The Canadian train
departs from Montreal on
November 26th and fol-
lows the CP’s tracks west
to Vancouver. Performing
free concerts from Montre-
al to Calgary will be Scott
Helman and Madeline
Merlo.
Chief Executive Officer,
“The CP Holiday Train
is a program that our
13,000-strong CP fam-
ily has immense pride in
bringing to communities
every year. Access to nutri-
tious food is a basic neces-
sity, and food bank usage
is on the rise across North
America. The CP Holiday
Train program is our way
to help in the fight against
hunger by growing aware-
ness of this issue and pro-
viding a fun and engaging
way for the public to show
their support.” The Holiday
Train has now raised more
than $15.8 million and col-
lected 4.5 million pounds
of food since its inaugural
journey back in 1999.
