Town Proceeding
with MREC
Debenture

90 cents plus tax
Jingle All The Way
By JENNIFER PAIGE
s various recreation groups continue to move forward with projects at future MREC site, Minnedosa
town council has begun to proceed with a debenture for
the future facility.
The Town is going to have to raise the lions share of
the money for this project. Council has recently decided
that we will be applying for a debenture of $3.5 million,
explained Minnedosa Mayor, Ray Orr.
The baseball, soccer and the agriculture groups
have done a phenomenal job moving forward with their
projects at the site and with the idea of it being a regional
event centre with all the different sports facilities in one
centre, I think it is coming along really great, commented Minnedosa Mayor, Ray Orr.
Following a feasibility report conducted by Jack
Harper and Associates, plans for the MREC facility had
been temporarily pushed aside during the process of the
municipal election in October.
Now with council seats fi lled, the group will begin the
process of applying for a debenture in order to gather the
necessary funds to proceed with the project.
Funding will come from three areasthe Town, the
provincial and federal governments. The provincial government will likely participate to some degree and right now

Personal Care Home Acquires New Wheels

By JENNIFER PAIGE
he Minnedosa Palliative Care Committee recently presented

the Minnedosa Personal Care Home with the fruits of their
fundraising efforts.
Palliative Care Committee members Marion McNabb and
Joan Betteridge stopped in at the PCH on Friday, December 5th
to present care team manager, Dianne Kreshewski and residents
with the duet tricycle.
We have been working towards raising funds for this for over
a year and a half and thanks to a number of generous donations
we were able to order the bike and it has now arrived for use, explained McNabb.
The duet tricycle is a tandem bike that combines the latest
cycling technology with advanced wheelchair designs to allow
wheel-chair bound residents the ability to go for bike rides. The
cyclists can easily communicate and supervise the wheelchair
passenger while facing forward.
The tricycle costs approximately $6,600 and the Palliative
Care Committee would like to thank everyone who made a donation towards acquiring the bike.
The bike will be available for use by residents family members or anyone who is interested in trying out the new wheels.

in mind.
While a new, modern
clinic would go a long way
in attracting doctors to
Town, without the guarantee of practicing physicians
within the clinic walls, all
parties involved are a bit
hesitant to move forward.
We have reached
the point with this project
where it needs to be determined who will pay the
rent once the building has
been built. If the clinic can
accommodate seven doctors but we only have three,
who is going to be footing
the bill for the rest of the
cost?
Green Spaces
As the Town of
Minnedosa continues to
grow, the challenge of
maintaining and improving
green spaces and public
areas is a present factor on
councils docket.
The beach and campground are one of our main
attractions for the Town
and it behooves us to do a
really good job of looking
after these features. The
Public Works department
does a great job ensuring
all areas of the town are
looked after but it is a big
job and at times the small,
TLC details can be lacking,
explained Orr.
Town council has
planned a meeting with
the recreation committee
in January to discuss how
these areas can be better
maintained and improved.
We are getting to the
point that we are getting big
and busy enough that we
should perhaps be looking
diff erently at how we are
maintaining these spaces.

Public Works
Council plans on
completing upgrades to
more streets this year. A
consultation will be held
with the Public Works department in order to determine which streets will
take priority.
It will depend on
the condition of the infrastructure under the
road and drainage. All the
streets that we do now will
be completed with full
curb and gutter.
The Town will also be
looking at replacing the
sewage force mainthis
is the portion of the system that pumps the sewage out of the plant to the
lagoon.
Th ere have been
some issues with the force
main in terms of aging
parts and this needs to be
dealt with as delaying the
replacement may cause
sewage leaks into the
river, which would result
in fi nes for the Town, ex-
plained Orr.
A few upgrades to the
lagoon will also be looked
at. There are currently no
fi nal numbers on these
upgrades but council does
anticipate that they will be
a large portion of the utility budget.
commented Orr.
Council recently decided that it will proceed
with applying for a debenture to finance the project.
For more information
on the project please see
the articleCouncil Proceeds with Debenture , on
this weeks front page.
Development Of
Recreation Facility
With a continually
aging arena, Town Council will continue to press
forward with plans to develop the Minnedosa Regional Event Centre.
One of our priorities in this term is the
event centre. We are
pretty pleased with what
has gone on up at the future MREC site so far. The
various groups, baseball,
soccer and agriculture,
have progressed with their
projects and things are really starting to take shape.
We are excited to get this
project moving along,
Tourism
Over this past year
the Town of Minnedosa
participated in Manitobas
First Impressions Community Exchange Program, a visitor exchange
program that serves as a
catalyst to possibly spark
longer strategic economic
development.
Th e program saw a
group of community volunteers anonymously visit
another community that
is similar to home but unfamiliar.

Heritage Memory Lights...
The lighting ceremony of Heritage Memory Lights

was held last Thursday evening in Tanners Crossing
Park. A small group of people came out to see the tree
illuminated in memory of loved ones who have passed.
This was the second year for the fundraiser in support
of the Minnedosa District Museum and Heritage Village
Corp. This year, $680 was raised for the Heritage Village
through Heritage Memory Lights. The list of loved ones
being honoured this season will appear in next weeks
Tribune and on the Discover Minnedosa website.
Chamber Members give back...
The Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce hosted its

annual Christmas lunch this past Tuesday. Those in attendance were asked to donate to the Chamber Money
Tree in support of the Minnedosa and Area Food Bank
and Minnedosa Christmas Cheer Board. Donations to
the money tree in the amount of $160 have been equally
divided between the Food Bank and Cheer Board.
Great Local Shopping...

Simplifying the Holidays for Bigger Impact

By DARRYL HOLYK
he Christmas season is quickly sneaking up on

us. This is once again a good time to slow down,
take a step back and remember the true meaning of
the upcoming holiday. Sadly, modern day Christmas
has become far to commercialized. It seems it is now
all about gift giving and its no longer just a small,
simple little gift item but whats biggest, best and
most expensive! Its certainly nice to be able to give
and receive gifts with friends and family but there are
other things we can all give and receive this holiday
season that will have a much greater affect than that
shiny new, high priced item.
In this time of hustle and bustle of frantic shopping many forget those who are less fortunate. For
some, there are simply not enough funds to purchase
gifts or even food for a daily meal. This holiday season, I encourage you to remember these people and
offer your little piece of Christmas magic by helping
out. You can brighten their holidays with a simple
donation to your local food bank, Christmas Cheer
Board of the Community Christmas Dinner program.
That simple gesture can make a huge miracle to a
friend or neighbour this Christmas.

If you know of someone who has been going
through a rough time recently consider spreading
some Christmas joy to them. Many families will be
facing their first Christmas without a loved one this
season. That can be extremely hard to face. Others
may be struggling with health issues this season and
some have no family and will be spending Christmas
alone. There is no easy way to make such situations
better but kind gestures can certainly help someone
who may be alone or dreading the upcoming holidays. Offer your friendship and support with a simple
visit or phone call, a card or small gift or some small
gesture to let them know you are thinking about
them and available if they need a friend to lean on
this Christmas. Such gestures often go much further
and are remembered for years to come than a high
priced gift, which really has no sentimental value attached.
My Christmas wish is that each and every one of
us reach out to just one person who could use a liftme-up and offer them a little bit of Christmas joy. After all, isnt Christmas about peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men (and Ladies)?
Pic of the Week...
I have always been a fi rm believer in buying locally, if at all possible. This includes everything from food
and clothes to merchandise and even a new vehicle! This
past Monday I was again reminded of the fast, friendly
and professional service Minnedosa businesses offer. On
a bit of an impulse buy (and early Christmas present to
myself) I upgraded my vehicle with a purchase from Park
Line Automotive. Hats off to Greg Toews for a great vehicle buying experience! Then, it was off to the Minnedosa
Credit Union to inquire about a loan and once again I experienced friendly and efficient service from Dan Quesnel and the MCU loans department. Last but not least,
I must also note great service at Minnedosa Insurance
Services with Kim Ormond swiftly assisting me in registering my new vehicle. Purchasing a vehicle, taking out
a loan to help pay for it and registering it with MPI can
sometimes seem overwhelming and daunting but thanks
to the proffessionalism of Minnedosa businesses, I was
able to wrap it all up in short order without any glitches!
It truly does pay to shop local!

TRUSTED CONNECTED TARGETED
$3.5 Million Debenture for MREC

Continued
from Page 1
Following the public
hearing, we will then move
the proposal to the municipal board, which may also
hold a hearing. I am not
sure how long that process
will take but I imagine that
it depends on how much
resistance and/or support
there is.
As soon as the process
of applying for the $3.5
million debenture is underway, Council will move
to apply for funding from
the Provincial government.
Each of these pro-
posals will include the

feasibility study that was
conducted last year, which
notes that the project is
feasible, workable and the
community is in need of a
new facility.
Currently the Towns
MREC reserve sits at approximately $1 million and
fundraised efforts total approximately $1 million.
So for the sake of argument, if the debenture is
attained we will be sitting
with funds around $5.5
million.
Town Council will be
approaching the provincial government for a $33.5 million contribution
to the project, in order to
bring funds to the $8.5-9

million mark.
In the report by Jack
Harper, the project was
broken down into three
phases and he has estimated that phase one of the
project will cost approximately $9.3 million. If we
dont reach $9.3 million,
we will do what we can
with what we have raised.
Once the total amount
of funds has been gathered, town council in partnership with the MREC
committee will move forward on tendering out
building design plans.
In terms of how the
proposed
debenture
will impact the average
Minnedosa tax payer, town

council has been working
on a number of projections
but fi nal numbers will be
dependent on the length
of time the debenture is
taken over as well as the
interest rate.
We have been putting $300,000 towards the
arena yearly, and that is
tax money that is already
being paid. We would be
looking to see debenture
payments around that
mark and are hoping that
the impact would not be
great. I am not going to say
there will be no impact, it
all depends on the final
numbers.

this feedback to move forward with an action plan.
We hope to develop some
sensible things we can do
to improve tourism and
Minnedosas first impression on new visitors.
Subdivisions
Currently, there are
two different subdivisions
under development in
Minnedosa that, following completion, will offer
more housing options.
The Stewart Hills subdivision currently sits in
the planning stages, working through the various
government levels planning departments in order
to receive approval.
Invested parties are

hopeful to break ground
on the project next spring.
Construction at the
site of the future community subdivision has been
underway for the past few
weeks.
Crews have placed
fi ve of the 15 houses and
are planning to cut back
on construction through
the winter months as the
cost of heating proper areas for pouring cement is
a challenge, added Orr.
Over the next few
months, crews will continue to work on the installation of sewer, water and
hydro lines as well as the
interior mechanics. The
site is slated to be completed by next fall.

2004 Its happened again! Exactly two years and one
month to the day after the train derailment in the heart
of Newdale, a derailment occurred last Tuesday morning
approximately one mile west of the village. Nineteen cars
derailed and fortunately no one was injured.
1994 Tom Huyghe of Valley Bait and Tackle
will be
featured on an upcoming episode of Gone Fishing. The
ice fishing episode was filmed recently at Lake Dauphin
and Tokaryk Lake north of Oakburn.
1984 The Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade

incuded 22 floats. Although it was a success there were
two complaints; many considered the amount of sand on
Main Street to be too excessive and the second concern
was the high piles of snow on the median of Main Street
which created a traffic hazard for small children.
1974 The latest fraternal club in the area, The Lakeside Blues Snow Toboggan Club held its second meeting
Sunday. The club will use the beach pavilion as a clubroom and have agreed to install electric heat in the facility.
1964 Several hundred people jammed Main Street
to watch the Santa Claus Parade. First Prize went to the
Alexanders Pharmacy Bozo and His Clowns float. Second went to the Elks with Gingerbread House and Lolly
Pop Lane. Third went to the Town of Minnedosa with the
Snowman.
1944 A Town by-law regulating the sale of cigarettes
to minors will be strictly enforced. Anyone selling cigarettes or tobacco to a person under the age of 16 will be
prosecuted. Even if the child has a note of permission
from a parent, local stores are not permitted to make a
sale.
1914 The Provincial Government has passed an order
that all bars must be closed at 7 p.m. each evening.
1894 There was a shower of rain at Clanwilliam last
week. Temperatures have been so mild that the river water is overflowing onto the ice.

What am I missing? Sam
Dear Sam,
Here are a few tricks
to ensure perfect deviled
eggs every time! Place
the eggs into a pot and fill
with enough cold water to
cover the eggs. Sometimes
people add cold eggs to
boiling water which causes
them to crack. Bring to a
boil and cook for eight to
twelve minutes (varies depending on the stove). Do
not overcook because the
yolks will become dry, grey
and crumbly. When cooking is complete, submerse
the eggs in ice cold water
for fi ve minutes (trying to
peel hot eggs will result in

a mess). Peel eggs, and cut
in half. Scoop yolks and
any broken egg whites into
a food processor (do not
use a fork) and add your
favourite ingredients i.e.
mayonnaise, sweet pickle
relish, onion, cheese, mustard, salt and/or pepper.
Blend until smooth. Add
fi lling into a sealable bag,
cut the corner of the bag
and pipe egg yolks into
egg whites. Garnish with
paprika, bacon and/or
chives.
Dear Reena,
Your column mentioned using scents to
mask the smell of smoke in
a car. Changing the cabin
air fi lter may be a permanent fi x, instead of masking the smell. We bought a
used car apparently owned

by a heavy smoker. Changing these filters solved the
problem for us permanently for the years that we
owned the vehicle. Louis
Dear Reena,
My brand new dishwasher stopped working
during a regular cleaning cycle. So I opened the
door and scooped out the
water, I began the dishwasher again and it started
working. The next day the
same thing happened, the
dishwasher stopped in the
middle of the cycle, this
time I called the plumber.
The plumber informed me
that the water pipes were
frozen. He insulated the
pipes and the machine
has worked properly ever
since. Ruth

Saturday with Santa Unlocks Christmas Magic

By JENNIFER PAIGE
he Minnedosa Community
Conference
Centre was full of holiday
festivities this past Saturday as many of the Towns
youngest residents patiently waited for a chance
to see the man of the season.
Santa Day, hosted by
the Minnedosa Chamber
of Commerce was held on
December 6th, offering
free sleigh rides courtesy
of the Minnedosa Credit
Union, lunch served up
by the Minnedosa Collegiate grad class as well
as photo ops with Santa.
Photos were taken by
Brenda Warrener of Den
Mother Photography and
provided free to parents
from The Chamber.
Saturday afternoon
also included the conclusion of the Unlock the
Magic of Main Street promotion.
Th e event saw local
businesses hand out ballots for customers who
purchased $25 or more.
Th ose ballots were then
placed in a draw where
75 names were pulled
for a chance to pick a key
that opened one of two
prizes$500 Minnedosa
Money and a giant stocking packed full of great
prizes.
The fi rst-ever Unlock
the Magic of Main Street
promotion also included
a Moonlight Madness
evening, held on Thursday, December 4th, where
participating businesses
stayed open late to offer
residents extended evening shopping.
The public seemed to
like the promotion. There
was decent customer traffic at businesses on Th ursday evening. It seemed

to be successful and will
likely be something we do
again, commented Darryl
Holyk, Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce President.
With the goal of promoting shopping locally,
the event saw a number of
local businesses participate. Over 40 businesses
donated items to the giant
stocking.
The lucky individuals
whose names were pulled
for a chance to win lined
up on Saturday afternoon
for a opportunity to select
the winning key.
Brian Frykas, of Dauphin, selected the key for
the giant stocking and the
$500 Minnedosa Money
Grand Prize was won by
Jayme McManus.

Local Encaustic Artist

By JENNIFER PAIGE
ocal artist, Sally Pulford has been busy

spending her days filling orders for a number
of local galleries and gift
shops.
I would describe my
art as abstract realism
with a strong emphasis
on colour. I began encaustic painting about a
year-and-a-half ago after
I saw a video on YouTube
and really wanted to try it
out, explained Pulford.
Encaustic art is an
ancient art form using
melted pigmented wax.
It involves the process
of applying the wax to a
special art iron and applying it to the art paper,
adding additional details
through a special pen and

scraping tools.
I currently have
works on display at the
Wasagaming
Community Arts Centre, Poor Michaels Bookshop, the Art
Gallery of Southwestern
Manitoba, Old Church
Pottery and Gift, Chipperfields, Prairie Showcase.
Along with her encaustic artwork, Pulford
also enjoys tampering
with pastels, watercolours, coloured pencil and
calligraphy.
I have struggled
with mental illness for
more than 20 years and
throughout my life I have
used a number of different
venues to express myself. I
enjoy spending time composing music, writing and

also offer intuitive healing

services.
Pulford began painting in 1999 and held
her fi rst solo show in
Minnedosa in 2002 and
again in 2004. She has also
participated in a number
of group showings including last spring in Brandon
for the Expressions Series
and in Wasagaming where
an entire section of the
gallery was dedicated to
over 20 different works.
I draw a lot of inspi-
ration for bodies of water.

Minnedosas magnificent
lake and river perpetually
ignite my spirit, lending to
my vibrant artistic style,
added Pulford. .
Sally also enjoys
spending time in the community, volunteering at
Frontier and hosting a
number of different workshops.

the North Central Hockey
Leagues fi rst place team,
the Grandview Comets.
Th e Bombers fell to
the Comets 3-2. After two
scoreless periods, the
Bombers Erickson took
the initial goal of the game
but quickly fell behind 2-1.
An additional goal by
Erickson created a shortlived tie before the Comets
scored late in the third for
the win.
On Saturday, December 6th, the Bombers
played host to the leagues
second
place
Russell
Rams.
Tied 1-1 after the fi rst,

ne game on the schedule for Minnedosas

Bantams this past weekend as they hosted McCreary/Ste. Rose on Sunday, December 7th. A
tight match for the first two
periods as the teams traded goals saw Minnedosa
head into the third down
by one. An interesting final 20 minutes followed
as the visitors gave themselves some breathing
room scoring two more
before the mid-point of
the fi nal frame. Down by
three Th e Bombers had
their work cut out for them
and they went straight to
work scoring their fourth
goal at the 11:36 mark and

such an analysis is that while the costs of the inwe cannot evaluate crop puts are additive
input responses indepenThis is why it is imdently from one another portant to keep in mind
since these responses the relative importance
cannot be added end to of each input and its dilu-
tion factor as it relates to

its contribution to final
yield. The lower grain and
oilseed pricing means
producers will once again
need to make some critical
decisions in regards to the
importance of each input.
Early and timely seeding
is not a traditional purchased input however the
costs associated with its
implementation are critical since it has the greatest
contribution to final yield.
Early and timely seeding
has a very low dilution factor in that dollars invested
here almost always provide a 100% return on investment and will allow for
other purchased inputs to
appreciate in value.
Once we move to other
purchased inputs the dilution factor becomes more
of an issue. The more uniform the requirement over
an entire fi eld the greater
the contribution towards
yield and the greater is the
ability of the input to maintain a positive net return.

Disease control and
fertility are two inputs
that provide a significant
contribution to final yield
due to their uniform requirement at various levels across a field. Variety
choice will also typically
fall into this grouping due
to the disease resistance
and lodging resistance
associated with different
varieties. Dollars invested
here are associated with
moderate risk, low dilution
and typically have a higher
return on investment.
Weed populations on
the other hand are certainly more variable within
a field and can be mitigated to some extent by crop
competition, crop rotation,
the timing of removal and
the growing environment.
This makes the addition or
absence of weed control
more difficult to quantify
in regards to generating
sufficient additional revenue to cover the investment associated with their

purchase. This does not diminish the importance of a
weed control program but
instead rewards producers
for a higher level of management in minimizing
the dilution of these purchased inputs.
In the weeks to come,
and in a lead up to the
many farm shows and
grower meetings in the
new-year, producers will
begin to be inundated with
promotional sales data for
a wide variety of inputs and
products. Assessing this
data and asking the right
questions is becoming an
important skill set for farm
managers. Asking the right
questions will help create
a demand for quality data
and analysis which will
ultimately make it more
difficult for questionable
products to be successfully
marketed.

Concentrating or focusing these limited financial resources in areas of
minimal dilution will allow
you to maximize returns
and see a greater return on

CAROL JUNE VANDERHART (SKOGLUND)

NOVEMBER 17TH, 1953
- OCTOBER 23RD, 2014
Carol June Vanderhart of Minnedosa, MB passed away at the
Minnedosa Health Centre at the age of 60 years. Carol was born
in Morris, Manitoba. She was the second daughter to Ken and
Alice Skoglund. In 1954 the family moved to Southern Ontario
which is where Carol spent most of her childhood years. It was in
Ontario where Carols daughters Tricia (1971) and Wendy (1972)
were born. While raising her two daughters, Carol began working
as a florist and this is where her love for flowers began. From then
on, flowers and gardening became her lifelong passion and gift. In
1985, Carol met and married John Vanderhart and they then moved
with the girls to Cardale, Manitoba. In 1987 their son Casey was born
and in 1990 the family moved to Minnedosa. Carol loved her children very much and loved her
grandchildren even more. The grandchildren always enjoyed going to Grandma and Opas. Carol
has passed on her love for the outdoors and playing games to the kids. Carol was always an active
cheerleader in the stands for all of their sports and school activities. Throughout her life, Carol
worked at many different jobs. Most recently at the Minnedosa Pharmacy where she was always
known for her wonderful laugh and smile. Carol was predeceased by her parents Ken and Alice
Skoglund. She is survived by her husband John, daughter Tricia (Derrick) Turner, Wendy (Kent)
Wareham, Casey (Carly) Vanderhart and several grandchildren, Alyssa, Aidan, Abigail, Kailyn,
Braeden, Owen, Jase, Maddison, Micah, sister Vivian (Cam) Stewart and brother John Skoglund
and by her dear friend Brenda Shorrock. Funeral service was held at the Evangelical Covenant
Church on October 29th, 2014 with Pastor Andy Gilkinson officiating. Minnedosa Funeral Service was in charge of the arrangements.

Jessie is survived by her children; Betty (Martin) Moyer, Loraine (Ambrose) Moyer, Edith (Edmund) Wittenberg, Kelly (Barb)
Gibbons, and Gwen (Grant) Tweed, as well as 10 grandchildren,
17 great grandchildren and one great, great grandson.
Jessie and Bill were married in 1937. They farmed in Rapid City area for
many years, moved to B.C. for three years, then returned to farm in
Manitoba in 1955. For many years Bill worked away from home, and
farmed as well. Jessie kept the farm going, and when Bill was home, they worked together. Mom
could run pretty well all the farm equipment, stook sheaves, bale hay, milk cows she could do it
all, working harder than a lot of men - and still come in and prepare a meal for the family. Mom
always said, if you turn the stove up real high, it wont take long to get supper cooked!
After Bill had his farm accident in 1978 where he lost the use of his hands, Jessie stayed by his
side in Winnipeg for one and a half months. Shed stay at the hospital all day, and then catch the
bus to her brother-in-laws place - often waiting alone for the bus near Portage and Main no fear,
this woman from Onanole. She just did what she had to do. Upon their return to Onanole, Jessie
continued to care for Bill.
Mom learned to crochet at the age of 70, and creating afghans became her passion. Mom was
not only creative, but very organized and detailed her records show she crocheted 220 afghans,
as well as what the colors were, who received the afghans, and what the occasion was. Mom
completed her last afghan when she was 90.
Mom loved gardening, and turned their large yard in Onanole into a beautiful space, with
beautiful flowers everywhere, and grass that was always trimmed. She and dad enjoyed working
in the yard together, and then sitting on the deck admiring the view.
Bill and Jessie enjoyed snowmobiling with the family, and mom continued snowmobiling until
she was 80.
Mom loved family get togethers, she loved to laugh and joke, she loved to catch someone up on
April fools Day pranks everyone was fair game.
Our family knew the funniest side of mom while to others, she may have seemed shy and
quiet. You know the old saying - still waters run deep!
Mom worked hard all her life, but always kept her great sense of humour, and her kind, gentle
ways. Lately, when asked if shed enjoyed her life, working on the farm the way she did, she replied that, yes, shed had a good life, and enjoyed the work it really wasnt work, if you enjoyed
what you were doing.
A gentle soul has left us, but many wonderful memories remain. Thanks mom.
