fter decades of involvement with local co-operatives,

Ken Jenner, president of the Heritage Co-op Board of
Directors, was recently recognized by the Manitoba Cooperative Association.
Jenner was recently presented with the Distinguished
Co-operator Award. Presented by the Manitoba Co-operative Association, the award honours Manitobans who have
made significant contributions to the development and
success of the co-operative community through long and
meritorious services in volunteer, elected or employed positions within Co-operatives and Credit Unions.
Jenner has been involved with the co-operatives since
the early 1970s. He became involved at the board level in
1986 when he was elected to the Board of Minnedosa Consumers Co-operative (today Heritage Co-op).

Minnedosa students learned the true meaning of giving during the holidays
by supporting the Minnedosa Christmas Cheer Board.
By JENNIFER PAIGE
s another season of
gift-giving rolls around,
Minnedosa residents have
once again demonstrated
a sound ability to think of
others.
For another year, community volunteers have
come together to co-ordinate a local Christmas
Cheer drive to ensure that
no Christmas table is left

empty and every child in
the community has something to unwrap on Christmas morning.
We have really seen
great support. The community seems to rally every
year and donates a lot of
great items, commented
program co-ordinator, Janis Wahoski.
The Christmas Cheer
Board has setup at the donated Dari Isle location and

has been working through
organizing the donations of
non-perishable food items,
new unwrapped childrens
gifts, knitted items and
monetary donation.
Donations have been
slightly down from last year
but we have still received
quite a bit. There were a few
things that we were missing

The Minnedosa Tribune
New Zamboni Purchased For Arena

By JENNIFER PAIGE
sers of the Minnedosa

Arena can look forward to a smoother, better
quality ice surface in the
future, following the Arena
Associations purchase of a
new Zamboni.
In recent weeks, Kevin
Marcino from Minnedosas
Public Works Department
came across a 1996 model
Zamboni on the government surplus listings. Located in Shilo, the Zamboni
had been purchased new
and was well looked after.
This past summer
we had to replace and repair a number of hoses
and chains on the current
Zamboni. It requires ongoing maintenance and is
certainly old technology. I
believe it is a 1976 model,
so it has definitely seen a
lot of ice time, explained
Brad Kingdon, Vice President of the Minnedosa Minor Arena Association.
The new zamboni was
purchased from the government surplus for a little
more than $25,000. The

Minnedosa Minor Hockey
Board contributed $5,000
and
the
Commercial
Hockey League contributed $4,000 and the remaining cost of $16,392.91 came
from the Arena reserve.
From what I understand the current zamboni
has been causing some issues with the ice and it is
certainly necessary to have
a safe skating surface for all
of the arena users, commented Minnedosa Mayor,
Ray Orr. The new zamboni will also be transferable to the new rink, upon
completion of the MREC
facility.
The MMAA will wait
to see how the new machine performs before
making any decision on
what they will do with the
old zamboni.
The new machine has
a number of new options
on it that should allow us
to pre-wash the ice and
hopefully create a smoother, more even ice surface,
added Kingdon.
The new zamboni has

arrived at the arena but
may not be in action on ice
until next season.
There are a few things
on the machine that need
to be adjusted and staff
will need to be trained on
how to properly use it before it will be put into action at the current arena,
commented, facility manager Dan Bailey.
According to Bailey,
there is no guarantee that
the new zamboni will be
used this season but as
finding a quality used machine is rare, it was good to
acquire the machine when
the opportunity arose.
This machine was essentially bought for use at
the new facility that is to be
built. There is no way that
the zamboni we are using
on the rink right now could
be transferred to the new
MREC facility, so this was
certainly purchased with
the future in mind, Bailey
added.
Above, a 1996 model

Zamboni has been
purchased to replace
the arenas old
1976 model.

Cruizers Donate Tools

By DARRYL HOLYK
ecently, the Minnedosa Valley Cruizers Car Club made

a generous donation of tools to the Automotive Technology (Power Mechanics) Program at Minnedosa Collegiate.
The high school Automotive Technology Program begins with an introductory course in grade 9 where students
learn about safe and proper usage of tools, repair resources
and scientific factors related to automotive operations and
repairs. More specific automotive related courses include
Brake Systems and Fuel Systems at the Grade 11 level and
Automotive Electronics in Grade 12. Currently, there are 60
grade 9 to 12 students enrolled in the program.
Automotive Technology Teacher, Andrew Gugin, indicated that the local car club purchased approximately $400
worth of socket sets and screwdrivers for students to use
during their hands-on education of automotive technology.
The tools were purchased locally by the Valley Cruizers and
are an extremely important and valuable contribution for
students to make use of as they further their knowledge of
automotive related education and skills.

from across the world for

As Kreshewski began

to treat and prevent her
scoliosis from progressing.

search for support from
others who were in a similar situation to hers, but
quickly realized it was diffi cult to find anyone close
in age, location and similar
condition.
Kreshewski then came
across Curvy Girls, a network of peer-led support
groups who strive to reduce the emotional impact
of scoliosis by empowering girls through mutual
support and acceptance
in order to become leaders, make healthy lifestyle
choices and improve selfesteem.
As she began to get
involved with Curvy Girls,
Kreshewski learned of a
gery. I dont think I could

have gone through it without going to the convention fi rst and talking to
others who had the same
procedure.
On October 27th at
the Childrens Hospital in
Winnipeg, Kreshewski underwent posterior spinal
fusion with instrumentation and bone grafting in
order to stop the spinal
curve from progressing
and correct the current
curve.
Th e procedure consisted of eight to ten hours
in the operating room,
where the surgeon attached two titanium rods
to either side of the spine,
placing 22 screws into the
vertebrae bodies. Benefits of the surgery include
more room for organs to
function, more energy, relief of pain and a longer life
expectancy.
Th e surgery went
well. I had enough time to
prepare. It was definitely
scary but I knew that it was
going to go well. Hopefully
in about another six weeks
I should have an idea of
what I am capable of in
terms of movement. They
say three months of recovery and you will begin to
see regular motions again.
After spending a week
in the Childrens Hospital,
Kreshewski returned home
in early November and began the healing process.
I feel alright but it is
defi nitely a slow process.
You just feel really tired
all the time. Everything is
healing really well but it is
defi nitely a strange feeling. It still feels weird but
is starting to feel a little less
strange every day.
The rods will stay in

forever and I will have to
keep checking in with the
doctor for the next while
but after that I should be
all good. I will just have to
take really good care of my
back for the rest of my life.
Nearing
the
two
month post-surgery mark,
Kreshewski is slowly starting to return to the regular life of a 15-year-old,
attempting to attend half
days at Minnedosa Collegiate.
I am really happy to
have the surgery completed and to be on the other
side. It is still really painful
but it is a different kind of
pain. Its more of a discomfort pain. I would rather
deal with this than what I
was dealing with before.
For now, Kreshewski is
limited in her motions and
physical capabilities but is
practicing every day and
will begin to see the local
Physiotherapist in January.
She is also excited to
continue to be involved
with the Curvy Girls group,
now looking to support
others who are in the process of considering surgery.
I dont want anyone
to have to feel the way I felt
when I was first diagnosed.
Right now I do talk to other
girls online, through Skype
and that kind of thing, but
I will defi nitely attend another conference in the future.
At the conference in
New York, I was one of the
girls who was in need of
help and looking for support and now I would be
able to be on the other side,
offering others a chance to
see what life is like after the

surgery, explained Kreshewski.
As she begins to return
to everyday life, her recent
experience has sparked
thoughts about her future
and motivated her to continue to be a local leader in
support for scoliosis.
My experience has
defi nitely led me to think
about going into healthcare after high school. I
would love to do something with scoliosis. Even
if I wasnt able to pursue
something in the medical
field, I would like to be involved in support for scoliosis.

In the more immediate
future, Kreshewski hopes
to get a few more people
in Manitoba involved in a
support group and would
like to try and plan to be a
part of the Curvy Girls international walk in June.
I would really like to
thank everyone who has
supported me and continues to support me through
everything, Kreshewski
added.

t does not seem like it has been a whole year since

I wrote my last Christmas greeting but here we are
again at our final edition of the year. As I reflect on
2014, it was another year of good and bad news, full of
all kinds of highs and lows for our community and its
residents. As we write-off another year I am reminded
how each week The Tribune continues to record the
history of Minnedosa within its pages as this grand old
community newspaper has done since the first edition
rolled off the presses back in 1883. It is certainly not
something I, nor has any of our previous publishers
accomplished alone. This newspaper continues to record our history as a result of a combined community
effort.
At this time of the year, as I write my final column
for 2014, I want to extend Christmas greetings and
thanks to all who have a hand in The Tribunes continuation this year. First of all to the current Tribune
staff; Reporter/Photographer Jennifer Paige, Graphic
Designer/Advertising Sales Natalie Loughrin and
Front Office Administrator Gloria Kerluke as well as
my parents, Jack and Esther Holyk, thank you for your
hard work and commitment to The Tribune each week.
To our many volunteer correspondents and contributors, who are too numerous to list, your submissions
are greatly appreciated! To our advertisers, subscribers
and print customers without your support this old
business would no longer exist. Yes, a newspaper is a
business not a community service, and your continued
support is what keeps our bills paid! Last, but certainly
not least, our readers from near and far. Whether you
live here in Minnedosa or miles away somewhere in
North America, we value your loyalty as a reader of the
oldest weekly newspaper in the Canadian West. Its
an honour to know just how closely some of you are
reading The Tribune when from time to time you let us
know when you spot one of those nasty, most unwelcome mistakes that somehow slip past us and end up
on our pages!
Here is wishing you all the very best this Christmas
season. Put anger and negativity aside and take in that
magical feeling of Christmas. We will be back in print
for our first edition of the New Year on Friday, January
9th, 2015. Happy Holidays!

Ray Orr, Mayor

Town of Minnedosa
From Our MLA
he Holiday season is a special time of year when

people come together to celebrate our blessings
and re-connect with our families, friends and neighbours. It gives us time to take a look back on all of the
wonderful things throughout the last year and cherish each moment we have with our loved ones. It is
also a time to remember those less fortunate, and to
take the time to make this season a special time that
can be enjoyed by all.
I wish you and your loved ones all the best for
a warm and happy Christmas season. May the holidays bring you joy and the Christmas spirit warm
your homes and hearts. Merry Christmas!
s your Member of Parliament, I wish everyone

in the Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette Constituency, Best Wishes for the Christmas and Holiday
Season!
Christmas is a time for us to refl ect on what is
truly important our families, our friends and our
communities. As you celebrate this wonderful time
of year, take the opportunity to count your blessings
and reflect on Canadas good fortune, rejoice in the
memories of the year past, and look forward with
hope to the days ahead.
The holiday season reminds us to reach out to
those who may be less fortunate and who may be living with hardships. It is important that we all make
that extra eff ort to help our neighbours and those
who may be in need
We can be proud of the key position our nation
has fi lled in supporting the development of values
of freedom, democracy and the rule of law in other
countries who are facing important challenges. We
are extremely proud of the men and women of our
Canadian Armed Forces and other law enforcement
personnel, who are instrumental in protecting us
from the violence of terrible regimes and everyday
crimes. Please keep them in your prayers, not just
during this Christmas season, but throughout the
New Year.
My wife Caroline and I wish you and your family
a truly blessed and peaceful Christmas season, and a
healthy, happy 2015!

Dear Editor,
egarding your comments about shopping locally in

last weeks paper, I had a very similar experience.
Trevor Wilson at Wilsons Wheels went out of his
way to get us the car we wanted. Then Sharons Insurance handled the registration very efficiently. Finally, I
went shopping at Home Hardware and Burgess Quality
Foods and had a haircut at Modern Looks.
Total saving: $22.00 as I had bought the MCI pack
for $20.00. What a great deal! So, another reason to shop
locally is that our merchants generously support our local organizations, sports teams, and community projects.

2004 A number of route changes and deletions are
expected in the New Year for Greyhound and Grey Goose
Canada. Locally, the proposed cuts would leave no bus
service from Minnedosa to Russell cutting out stops in
Erickson, Sandy Lake and Elphinstone. An eastbound
route is also being considered for abandonment.
1994 MLA Harold Gilleshammer has announced
that the Minnedosa Hall project will be the recipient of
$75,000 in infrastructure funding in the New Year. Erickson will benefit from $20,000 for its planned water distribution system, L.G.D. of Park will receive $57,000 for its
planned sewage treatment system and the R.M. of Harrison will get $40,000 for planned road construction.
1984 The Kinsmen Club has donated a new Mandem

Larry Schultz recently presented a cheque for $5,300 to
Minor Athletic President, Doug Shearer for the purchase.

The local snow toboggan club, The Lakeside

name of Lees Restaurant.
1944 Minnedosa E.H. Clark is optimistic for the
Towns future stating that Minnedosa will never be a real
town of the centre it should be, until we have a water and
sewage system. Someone has said it will either make us
or break us, said Mayor Clark. We have been broke before, so my guess is it will make us.
1924 The Womens Institute is collecting used clothing and Christmas cheer for 43 small children of homesteaders within a 40 mile radius of Minnedosa who had

chemicals. Many of the

recommended emergency
plans suggest a half a mile
to a two mile evacuation,
dependant on the type of
chemical that has been released. For us, that is basically an entire town evacuation, continued Nelson.
In 2009, there were
just over 10,000 car loads
of oil being transported
by rail. In 2013, there were
500,000 car loads of oil
transported on rail in Canada.
Following an on slot
of railway disasters, Transport Canada put pressure
on initiating a number of
new safety precautions
including
strengthening requirement of tank
cars, planning and route
analysis, risk assessment
and urged the creation
of emergency response
plans.
We currently have
the general frame work
of an emergency plan for
Minnedosa. However, we
will be working to fine
tune and customize it for
Minnedosa, added Nelson.
Minnedosas Protective Services volunteers
recently gathered and
have begun to be educated
on their individual roles
and have started moving
forward with customizing
an emergency plan.
We certainly have
quite a few people in town
with big hearts that are
willing to learn, it is just a
matter of getting them organized and educated on
their responsibilities in the
event of an emergency.

o our soils sleep

during the winter months? Certainly it
would be logical to assume
that our soils are essentially dead or are at least
in a deep coma during
our winter months given
the sub zero soil temperatures. Recent research at
AAFC and elsewhere indicates that biological activity does indeed continue
during at least a portion
of our winters depending upon snow cover and
depth of frost with the majority of this activity likely
occurring in early winter
and early spring depending upon freeze/thaw cycles. So how is this activity
possible?
What this research
has found is that as temperatures cool to freezing
there is a shift in microbial populations or communities from summer to
winter and that these microbes continue to grow
in frozen soils but only at
a much slower rate. The
mechanism for this activity seems to revolve around
an increase in the composition of unsaturated fatty

acids and in the production of glycerol within
the lipid membranes of
certain microbes. Glycerol is best known as an
antifreeze medium but
can also serve as a food
source for some microbes.
Th e two measurements
indicating microbial activity in frozen soils revolve
around the measurement
of carbon dioxide levels in
the breakdown of organic
matter and in the release
of nitrous oxide as a result
of denitrification.
The rate of winter soil
respiration will vary depending upon snow cover, soil moisture and the
number of freeze/thaw
cycles. Standing stubble
with adequate soil moisture and good early snow
cover can see soil temperatures remain relatively stable in the -5 to
10 degree Celsius range
for much of the winter.
Soil temperature probes
placed this fall into seeded winter wheat in South
Parkland have found the
approximate average soil

creasing microbial activity by anywhere from 6090 days. The food source
for these microbes can be
found in the form of intact root systems that have
gone through a cold hardening process. Under field
conditions cold hardened
root systems can have a

been somewhere around

ome folks would remember Herman Verdonk and

family who farmed just west of town. Sad to hear that
Herman passed away at the age of 65 at the South Bruce
Grey Health Centre in Paisley, ON.
Sympathy is extended to the family of Marion

sucrose content which is

eight times higher during fall and winter than
that measured during the
spring and summer. This
food source along with
more moderate winter soil
temperatures and more
frequent freeze/thaw cycles will increase the level
of winter microbial activity and ultimately impact
the level of nutrients available for spring growth.
The warmer the soil temperature the greater the
microbial activity and the
overall affect on available
nutrients.
Th is winter microbial activity is likely why
we see winter crops and
fall planted shrubs, trees
and perennials get such
a jump on spring growth
when compared to being
spring planted. These fall
plantings see an accumu-
lation of nutrients in close

proximity to their root
systems as a result of this
winter microbial activity
allowing these fall plantings to have immediate
access once soils warm in
the spring.
This information certainly puts a renewed
emphasis on farm management practices such
as maintaining standing
stubble in helping regulate winter soil temperatures at levels which will
help maximize winter soil
microbial activity. Moderating soil temperatures
and increasing the level
of freeze thaw cycles at
the front and back end
of our lengthy winters by
even 60-90 days can have
a significant impact on the
level of nutrients available
for our relatively short
growing season.

Santa to a Senior Delivers Gifts

By JENNIFER PAIGE
early forty local seniors received a special delivery this week as

Santa stopped in with gifts
selected, purchased and
wrapped by an anonymous community member.
For the first year,
Services for Seniors coordinated the Be a Santa
to a Senior program in
Minnedosa, the first community in Manitoba outside of Winnipeg to take
part in the program.
I think Minnedosa
was a great community
to be one of the first outside of Winnipeg to try out
the program. Seeing this
kind of outcome certainly
re-affirms what a great
community this is and reminds me of why I chose
to live here, commented
Program Co-ordinator, Jan
Macey.
Designed to lift the
spirits of community seniors who may be impoverished, alone or may not
otherwise receive any

gifts during the holidays,
the program sees seniors
nominated, gift suggestions noted on a Christmas ornament and community members invited
to select an ornament and
purchase a gift for the
anonymous senior.
It is really designed
to let these individuals
know that they have been
thought of. That the community cares about them
and they arent alone.
Christmas can be a hard
time if you dont live near
family or if many of your
loved ones have passed
on, explained Service for
Seniors Program Co-ordinator, Maxine Woodcock.
On Tuesday, December 16th, Services
for Seniors collected 39
wrapped gifts and with a
little help from Santa, delivered the presents to the
elderly recipients in town.
The success of this
program demonstrates the
tremendous generosity of
this community that we
live in, explained resident

and Town Councillor, Len
Luker. The ornaments offered a list of suggestion
that one could pick an
idea from but many of the
people who got involved

Christmas Cheer Board

Continued from Page 1
This year the Christmas Cheer board will be
handing out 55 hampers,
slightly up from the 51
hampers they distributed
last year.
A number of community groups also rallied
to gather items, including student groups from
Tanners Crossing and
Minnedosa
Collegiate,
businesses and various
services groups throughout the community.

One of the communitys youngest volunteers,
Shawnee Inkster, organized a pajama drive once
again this year.
Shawnee set up donation bins at a number of
local businesses, involved
her school and canvassed
the community for a number of weeks, gathering
new pairs of pajamas to be
included in the hampers.
This year, Shawnee was

able to gather 42 pairs of
pjs.
Every hamper distributed is customized to
the receiving family. Each
hamper includes a turkey, ham, carrots, potatoes, margarine, oranges,
Christmas cake, buns,
bread, and milk. Children are given a gift and
those over 12 are given $35
Minnedosa Money.

Wilgosh Announces Retirement

By JENNIFER PAIGE
fter beginning her career at the Minnedosa

hospital as a teenager, Arlene Wilgosh has proceeded to build an impressive
career in the health care
field, rising to one of the
highest positions one can
obtain in the provincial
health care system.
Although born in
Minnedosa, Wilgosh was
raised in Rapid City until
grade six at which time she
began attending Minnedosa Elementary School.
Wilgosh
graduated
from Minnedosa High
School in 1972 and proceeded to receive her
nursing diploma from the
Winnipeg Health Authority in 1974.

Her initial nursing
position was at the Health
Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. She held a number
of nursing and leadership
roles in various departments including the emergency room and intensive
care unit.
After working her way
up the nursing ranks, Wilgosh earned the role of
Deputy Health Minister in
2005, a position she held
for five years.
In March of 2010,
Wilgosh became the first
woman and former nurse
to assume the role of president and CEO of the Winnipeg Health Authority.

In her role as CEO,

Wilgosh has the responsibility of overseeing all of
Winnipegs hospitals and
personal care homes. She
is WHAs chief bureaucrat,
funding more than 200
health services, operating a $2.4 million budget
and employing over 28,000
people.
In January of 2013,
the Winnipeg Free Press
named Wilgosh in its
Power 30 rank, as the sixth
most infl uential person in
Manitoba.
Most recently, Wilgosh announced that following the expiration of
her five-year contract with
the WHA as CEO, she will
step down from the position.
After more than 40
years in the health care
fi eld and five years as the
leader of the provinces
most demanding Health
Authority, Wilgosh will retire in March of 2015.

Pee Wee Majors

By WES BARRETT
he Minnedosa Peewee Majors Bomber

Hockey Team was inhospitable hosts last weekend, picking up wins over
the Foxwarren Falcons on
and Gladstone Lakers in
the process.
On Friday, the Bombers started off strong with
Wade Waskul (assists to
Carter Hedley and Liam
Bachewich) opening the
scoring for the home team
with five minutes left in the
first period. Midway in the
second, Bachewich (assist
Aleah Morrice) made it
2-0. But Foxwarren came
back with one of their own,
making the score 2-1 after
two periods.
What happened during the intermission is not
known, but the Bombers
erupted for four goals in

the third.
Special Teams proved
huge in the final period.
Th e Falcons got themselves into penalty trouble, and the Bombers
made them pay with two
power-play goals. Nolan
Brandon (assists to Konlyn Nemetchek and Erik
Barrett, then Brandon and
Nemetchek setting up Barrett for one. Nemetchek
followed this up with an
unassisted marker, while
Bachewich scored a shorthanded marker (assist to
Sutherland) to close-out
the scoring. Final Score:
Minnedosa 6, Foxwarren 3.
Sunday afternoon the
Bombers were back at it,
this time hosting the Gladstone Lakers. Helped out
with a couple of Minor
Peewee players (Tyson
Kawchuk and Mitch Collyer) the Bombers came out
guns-a-blazing and took
a 2-0 lead into the first intermission. Special Teams
were once again the story
of the game. Bachewich
scored on the power-play
(assist to Sutherland and
Brandon) while Kawchuk
ripped a short-handed
marker high over the
Gladstone goalies blocker
(assist to Sutherland and
Hedley). Score after 1: 2-0
Bombers.
Th e second period
brought out more of the
same, with Sutherland
scoring with five minutes
left (assists to Nemetchek
and Bachewich) and then
Sutherland setting up Collyer less than a minute later. Score after 2: 4-0 Bombers.
In the third period the
Lakers pushed hard to get

a goal. They were determined to break Juliann Kellys shutout bid. But Kelly
and the Team D stood
their ground. With the forwards blocking shots and
the defence clearing out
the traffi c in front of the
net, the Bombers worked
tirelessly for most of the
period. Konlyn Nemetchek
added one more goal (assist to Bachewich) with two
minutes left. The Bombers
preserved a well-deserved
shutout. Well done Juliann
and everyone else. Final
Score: Minnedosa 5, Gladstone 0.
At this point, the
Bombers are in First Place
in the Peewee North Division of the Parkissimo
League. Keep up the hard
work team! Your success is
a product of your effort.
Next up, the Bombers
are set for a 14-hour odyssey to Ste. Rose and Winnipegosis (with a couple of
stops for food in Dauphin
along the way). Full report on the games (and the
food) to follow.

My Gift to You: Crme Caramel

Crme Caramel
Cooking With
CHEF DEZ
hristmas is the season

for giving, and probably the best gift I can give
to you is our much-loved
recipe for my all-time favourite dessert: Crme
Caramel. Although the
process of this recipe requires a bit of care and attention, this is sure to become a favourite decadent
dessert in your home and
with guests. Crme Cara-
mel is much like Crme

Brle, but the caramelized sugar goes into the
ramekin fi rst, rather than
torched on top with a
Brle. Th e result is a
complex caramel layer on
top of the inverted custard and a residual complex caramel sauce that is
a perfect companion with
each bite of the delicate
custard. Enjoy!
2/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup water
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract or
vanilla bean paste
1/2 tsp. salt
1 two-inch strip of lemon
zest
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350
degrees Fahrenheit and
grease six ramekins with
butter.
2. Put the 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup water and 1/4
tsp. salt in a small heavy
bottomed saucepan over

medium/low heat until
the sugar dissolves. When
it starts to turn brown,
swirl in the pan but do
not stir until it turns dark
rich brown, but not burnt.
Immediately pour equal
amounts into the prepared ramekins.
3. In another heavy
bottomed saucepan, bring
the whipping cream, milk,
vanilla, salt and the lemon
zest to just below a simmer over medium heat.
Turn off the heat and let
sit while preparing the
eggs in the next step.
4. Whisk the three
whole eggs with the three
extra egg yolks and the 1/2
cup sugar until frothy.
5. Remove the zest

from the cream mixture.
Very slowly drizzle the hot
cream mixture into the
egg mixture while whisking constantly. Doing it
slow will prevent the eggs
from curdling.
6. Pour this prepared
custard mixture into the
caramel lined ramekins.
7. Place the fi lled ramekins into a large pan.
Pour boiling water into the
pan until the water level
reaches
approximately
half-way up the outer
sides of the ramekins.
8. Carefully put this
pan into the oven and reduce the temperature to
325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake for approximately 40
minutes or until the centers of the custards are almost set (cooked).
9. Refrigerate for a
minimum of two hours
and up to two days.
To Serve: Loosen the
custard in each ramekin
by running a butter knife
all around the edge of the
custard. Invert a plate over
the ramekin. Quickly flip
the ramekin/plate over
and gently jiggle until the
custard/caramel comes
loose. Remove the ramekin and serve on the plate.
Makes six portions.
Making Batter Stick and Storing Christmas Wreaths

Solutions and
Substitutions
By
REENA NERBAS
Dear Reena,
My children love to
eat chicken wings. I make
them by battering them
with fl our and spices but,
when I deep fry the wings
the coating falls off, making a big mess of skinless
chicken wings. What am I

doing wrong? Rorie
Dear Rorie,
Here is the trick; after rolling chicken wings
in batter, cover the bowl
of wings with plastic wrap
Wetland restoration
is a worthwhile venture
Wetlands moderate the eects of oods and droughts,
provide water for livestock, lter nutrients and more.
Funding is currently available for wetland restoration
projects. If wetlands have been drained or altered on
your land, contact DUC to learn more about restoration
and other programs that help maximize the benets
to you and your land.
and place the bowl in the

fridge for one and a half
hours. As the flour adheres
to the meat, the wings become sticky and the batter
holds to the meat during
frying. Also, make sure that
the oil is very hot before
dropping meat into the
pot. To test proper deep
frying temperature, drop
a bite size piece of bread
into the oil. If the oil bubbles around the bread and
turns light brown within 60
seconds, the oil is ready to
use. Or put the handle end
of a wooden spoon into
the oil, when bubbles form
along the handle a little,
the oil is ready. Or drop a
popcorn kernel into the
oil, the kernel pops when
oil reaches approximately
350 degrees, which is perfect for deep frying.
Dear Reena,
I wonder if you have
a solution for cleaning the
real feather wings on the
angels that I inherited recently when my mother
and sister both died. Jan
Dear Jan,
I am so sorry to hear
about your losses, I am
sure that these angels
are extra special to you.
Since the feathers are attached to the body of the
angels it may be difficult
to hand wash the feathers
with dish soap and water,
which is a popular technique for cleaning bird
feathers. Either take them
outside and hold a hairdryer to the wings to blow
off dust. Or use a steamer
to wet the wings and sterilize them. Dry the feathers
with a hairdryer. The angels should look as good as

new.
Dear Reena,
I own several Christmas wreathes which I
pile into plastic totes in
my basement. Every year
I waste hours fluffing up
each wreath before hanging them. Do you have
any idea of how I can store
wreathes so that they dont
become squished? Mindy
Dear Mindy,
Store wreathes on
hangers and cover them
with an upside down plastic garbage bag (much like
a dry cleaning bag). Hang
wreathes on a rod in the
basement or inside a closet; they will not lose their
shape.

Hi Reena,
I wonder if your readers would have suggestions about what I can do
with my old linen napkins.
I rarely use them and have
over a dozen sets in many
different colours. Still have
the tablecloths as well but
I suppose they will have
to stay with me (Im 79).
None of my kids want
them as they have to be
ironed and I dont believe
anyone has found an easy
way to iron linen! Wilma
Dear Wilma,
Here are a few ideas for
utilizing old, well-kept linens. 1. Sew several napkins
together to create beautiful
pillowcases. 2. Cut linens
into smaller squares. Cut
pieces of felt the same size
as linens. Using fabric glue,
adhere fabrics together to
form coasters. 3. Donate
linens to a non-profit organization, nursing home
or hospital. 4. Sew napkins
together with a backing to
make a table runner for
special occasions. 5. Use
linens instead of tea towels, because linen is the
best fabric for polishing
glass.

One of the most

rewarding
things
about
being involved in Charleys
Aunt was seeing so many
individuals come on board.
They contributed countless
hours and a host of talents,
some of which were easily
captured by the audience,
while others were perhaps
more subtle. In a recent
edition of The Tribune the
performance of some of the
participants in Charleys
Aunt where duly noted, but
many people who worked
hours and hours behind the
scenes went unidentified. I
would like to mention those
individuals who were missed,
as their time and talents were
invaluable.

JANUARY 3RD, 1935

DECEMBER 10TH, 2014
After a long and arduous journey with Rheumatoid Arthritis,
Dennie succumbed to the wants of his body on December 10th,
2014 with his family at his bedside in the Minnedosa District
Hospital.
Dennie was the youngest of three sons born to George and
Mary Wilkinson, on the family farm in the R.M. of Odanah. He
was predeceased by his parents, and eldest brother, Henry. He
is survived by his wife of 54 years, Gwen; daughters Angela (Doug)
and Kim (Keith); grandchildren Katrina (Bryon), Chantell (Mike)
and Dillon (Maggie); four great-grandchildren Violet, Jonah, Rosalie and
Brooke; brother Earl; numerous nieces and nephews.
As a young adult, Dennie spent five years in the Royal Canadian Air Force posted at Namao Air
Force Base in Alberta. Upon his return to Minnedosa with Gwen and toddler Angela, he began his
lifelong career as a welder / machinist serving the residents of Minnedosa and surrounding area.
Dennie spent his golden years enjoying the fine conversation and global resolutions that were
the products of the Coffee Shop Quartet.
As per Dennies wishes, there will be no official service.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of ones choice.

The traditional three

colours of
Christmas are
green, red, and gold.
Green has long been
a symbol of life and
rebirth; red
symbolizes the
blood of Christ, and
gold represents light
as well as wealth
and royalty.

ello readers! The

calendar pages have
turned and it is again
time for us to go back in
Minnedosas past to get a
sense of what Christmas
shopping in our fine town
was like decades ago. This
year, we turn the clocks
back 70 years to check
out local businesses that
were advertising with
The Tribune in December
1944. Here we go!
The local Safeway,
across from the United
Church and a couple doors
down from the Dominion
Caf, is having a holiday
sale as we prepare for that
big Christmas Dinner. Lets

start with some Florida
oranges which are selling
for 13 cents a pound. A
12 ounce jar of cranberry
sauce can be picked up
for 31 cents. In the meat
department, a shankless
picnic ham is on special
at 28 cents a pound. For
that after dinner delight we
are going to need to stock
up on some coffee and
tea. Edward Coffee can be
bought for 37 cents a pound
while Blue Ribbon Tea is
selling for 69 cents a pound.
If you are in need
of fowl for your Christmas
Dinner be sure to drop
by Pearsons Hall for the
Canadian Legions Annual

Turkey Bingo, sponsored
by the local Hugh Dyer
Branch. Prizes will include
Choice Turkeys, Chicken
and Geese as well as a
brand new Davenport
and
matching
chair
for one lucky winner!
The Minnedosa
Pharmacy is advertising
a list of Distinctive Gifts
including
Evening
in
Paris Sets, Toilet Waters,
Watermans Pens, English
China, Books, Cigarettes,
Framed Pictures, Serving
Trays, Bill Folds and
Magazine Subscriptions.
The Pharmacy is also
advertising
fresh,
cut
flowers which can be

delivered
anywhere
on
Christmas
Day.
There is also a
wide variety of gift ideas
available from T.R. Lowres,
Druggist and Optometrist.
For 25 cents you can pick
up an autograph album.
A very smart looking
leather bound photo frame
is available for $1.25 or
you can pick an Eclipse
Fountain Pen set for $2.30.
Mr. Lowres reminds us
all to ask for one of their
1945
Rexall
Weather
Charts and Calendars.
Geo Thompson,
The Jeweller has 17 Jewel
Catherine Ladies watches
for $39.75, Mens 21 Jewel

President Watches for
$57.50 and engagement
ring sets for $60.00.
Upcoming films at
the Lyric Theatre include
Two Girls and A Sailor
starring Van Johnson and
Gloria DeHaven. Also
playing will be Donald
O-Connor in top Man
with Peggy Ryan. A special
preview
presentation
next
Wednesday
will
feature Going My Way
starring
Bing
Crosby
and
Barry
Fitzgerald.
To keep up with
local happenings pop
in the The Minnedosa
Tribune office. Publisher,
...How much we appreciate your business!

Now that the word is out, wed like to wish everyone a
very happy holiday. Thanks, Folks!
Bob Sanderson is offering

one year subscriptions to
his paper for $1.50 when
paid in advance. If you are
a subscriber in the United
States your subscription
will cost you $2.00 for the
year. The Tribune opened
its new, modern front office
only two years ago and
if you havent been in to
see it yet, now is the time!
There is just a tiny
glimpse of some of the
many Christmas gift ideas
available to local shoppers
70 years ago. Remember
our current businesses this
holiday season and year
round and shop Minnedosa
first!

Managing Holiday Stress

By GREG GIBSON, PH.D.,
C. PSYCH Registered Psychologist, Prairie Mountain
Health
n the film, Meet Me in St.

Louis, Judy Garland sang
the line Have yourself a
Merry Little Christmas, Let
your heart be light. From
now on, our troubles will be
1.
Have realistic expectations. Too many

people expect that the holidays need to
be perfect. There is no such thing as
perfection and having those expectations will only add to the stress of the
season. An asymmetrical tree or an
over-cooked turkey will not ruin your
holiday; rather, it will create a family
memory. Perennial movie favourites,
such as A Christmas Story or A Charlie
Brown Christmas are reminders of the
endearing qualities of these imperfections.
3.
Stay within your budget. Before you

shop for gifts and food, decide how
much money you can afford to spend.
Then stick to your budget. Dont try
to buy happiness with a mountain of
gifts. Some alternatives include: giving
homemade gifts and starting a family
gift exchange. If your childrens wish
list exceeds your budget, have a talk
with them about reasonable expectations and remind them that the holidays
are not about expensive gifts.

Be aware of your feelings. If someone

close to you has recently died or if you
are away from loved ones, realize that
it is normal to feel sadness and grief. It
is also important to express your feelings. Do not try to force yourself to
be happy just because it is the holiday
season.

out of sight. Unfortunately,

many people struggle with
heavy hearts and numerous
stressors over the holidays.
The term holiday stress reflects increased symptoms
of anxiety, impatience, fatigue, and depressed mood
that many people experience
over the holiday season. A
number of factors tend to
contribute to holiday stress,
Manage your time and set boundaries.

Saying yes when you should say no can
leave you feeling resentful and overwhelmed. Friends and colleagues will
understand if you cannot participate in
every project or activity. Set priorities
and let go of impossible goals. Dont
spend all of your time planning activities for your family. You might end up
including financial concerns,

tight schedules and heavy
demands, loss of loved ones,
isolation, and unrealistic expectations. And when stress
is at its peak, it can be very
hard to stop and regroup.
Stress cannot always be prevented; however,
the following tips can be
helpful to manage stressors
during the holiday season.
feeling drained and unappreciated.

Take the time you need to finish tasks
that are important to you. Dont try to
complete everything at once and ask
others to help you complete chores.
5.
Keep healthy and take time for yourself. All too often, when people feel
stressed-out and overwhelmed, they
forget about their self-care. Also, the
holiday season is ripe with opportunities to overindulge. Make sure that you
are eating regularly and healthily, that
you are getting a decent nights sleep
and that you are getting enough physical activity into your day. This can be
difficult when the weather turns cold.
Finally, pace yourself. Give yourself
opportunities to rest and replenish. By
slowing down, you will have more energy to accomplish your goals.
6.
Do something for others. By volunteering or assisting others, we can get out

of our experience for awhile. Helping
out at a food bank, or a shelter can also
provide us with some perspective in
terms of our worries and concerns.
7.
Stay connected and seek support. When

we feel sad or overburdened, we often
isolate or avoid others that can add to
our burden. Ensure that you are connected with others, and seek support if
needed. Getting things out in the open
can help you manage your feelings and
find solutions for your stress. If you
continue to feel overwhelmed, consider
seeing a professional such as a mental
health counsellor to help you manage
your holiday stress. In Brandon and surrounding Westman area, the 24-hour
crisis line number is 204- 725-4411, or
you can call toll-free at 1-888-379-7699.

oliday cheer and merrymaking may be everywhere this time of year, but for
thousands grieving the loss
of a loved one, the holiday
season can be an emotional
minefield. And theres no
road map for easy navigation.
Coping with grief
over the death of a loved one
during the holidays can be
difficult. Memories of holiday traditions shared with a
loved one who died may be
painful. Somehow, mourners
must navigate an emotional

holidays that can be bittersweet with nostalgia and happy memories, and also feel
painfully cruel and isolating.
The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors
(TAPS), a national non-profit
organization offering comfort and care to families of
our fallen military troops,
offers the following tips to
help anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one
during the holiday season.
Take charge of your
holiday season. Anticipating
the holiday, especially if its
the first one without a cherished family member, can be
worse than the actual holiday.
Take charge of your holiday
plans, and map out how you
will spend your time. This can
help relieve anxiety.
Make plans.Plan to
spend the holidays where you
feel nurtured, emotionally
safe, and comfortable. Having
a plan will help you navigate
the holiday season and its activities. But remember to plan
for flexibility, as you may not
know how your emotions will
respond, especially if it is your
first or second holiday season
after the death of a loved one.
Find
sustenance
for the soul. Your church,
synagogue, mosque or other
faith community may offer services, resources, and
support networks for the bereaved. You may want to look
for a support group for people
who are grieving and have
suffered a similar loss. Families who have lost a loved one
serving in the military may

find comfort by connecting

with other survivors through
the TAPS online community,
peer support groups, peer
mentoring or care groups.
Dont be afraid to
change your holiday traditions. Some traditions may
be a comfort, while others
can cause pain. Consider
which traditions to keep, and
which ones to forego this year.
Do not feel like you have to
do something because you
have always done it that way.
Include your lost
loved one in gift-giving. Give
a gift on behalf of your loved
one to someone else. Consider
making a donation to a charity
in memory of your loved one.
Create
a
tribute. Light a candle, display a
favourite photograph, or set
a place at the dinner table to
represent the missing loved
one. Consider writing a letter to your loved one about
the holidays and your special
memories with that person.
Be gentle with
yourself. Realize that familiar traditions, sights, smells
and even tastes, may be
comforting, or may jolt your
emotions. This is the time
of year when you need to
be careful with your emotions and listen to yourself.
Attend
holiday
functions if you can. Consider attending holiday parties and events, especially if
youll be able to spend time
with supportive family members and friends. Make an
escape plan in case the event
is more than you can handle.
If you think a holiday gathering might be more than you
can bear, it is ok to stay home.
Dont
pretend
you havent experienced a
loss. Imagining that nothing has happened does not
make the pain of losing a
loved one go away, nor does
it make the holidays easier to
endure. Even though holiday
memories may be painful,
they can be comforting. It is
ok to talk with others about
what you have lost and what
the holidays mean to you.
Pay attention to
your health. Its often difficult for people who have
experienced a recent loss
to sleep. Make sure you get
regular rest and drink lots of
water. Do not over-indulge
in sweets or alcohol. If you
feel overwhelmed, talk with
your medical care provider.
Take stock of both
joy and sadness. Give yourself permission to feel joy as
well as sadness. Dont feel
like you have to be a certain way because of your
loss, or because it is the
holidays. Just be yourself.
Express your feelings. Bottling up your feelings may add to distress, not
lessen it. To express your feelings, use your creativity to
write a poem, talk with a supportive friend, create a painting, or pen a journal entry.
Share your holiday season with someone
else. There are many lonely
people who might like to
experience the holiday season alongside someone else.
Consider volunteering with a
local charity or soup kitchen,
inviting a neighbour for a special holiday meal or including
others in your holiday activities.
If you received all

the gifts from the
song The Twelve
Days of Christmas
you would have
364 presents.
Just about everyone is getting into the act, and were

singing the praises of our neighbours and friends this
holiday season. From our house to yours,
the best this holiday season.
