currently stationed at the Dauphin RCMP Detachment.
On March 30th, Dauphin RCMP received
a report that Cpl. Prettie was in possession
of two weapons that had been in RCMP custody in 2009 in Minnedosa, where Cpl. Prettie
was stationed at the time. As soon as RCMP
became aware of the allegations, Cpl. Prettie
was restricted from RCMP buildings and functions, and an investigation was launched.
During the course of the investigation,
RCMP investigators located a rifle and a shotgun that did not belong to Cpl. Prettie in a private residence connected to him.
Cpl. Prettie has been suspended with pay
pending the outcome of the judicial proceedings.
The RCMP takes all matters of employee
misconduct seriously, and RCMP officers who
are charged with criminal off ences are subject to the same criminal law process as all
Canadian citizens.

Miss Teenage Western Manitoba Visits Grade 3-4

SUBMITTED
rade Three and Four

students in Mrs.
Noonan-Robinsons class
at TCS were visited by a
very special guest on Monday, June 20th. Kaylyn
Roe, a Grade Eight student
from Neepawa dropped
by to read two books to
the students and shared
some valuable information about kindness. Kaylyn is not just an ordinary
student but is also the current Miss Teenage Western

Manitoba!
During her visit, Kaylyn
taught the students some
very important lessons,
including the fact that no
matter how successful you
are, you need to work with
people of all ages and share
your talents with them.
The students truly enjoyed
having a real life Teenage Pagent Queen in their
classroom and did their
own act of kindness toward

Kaylyn. After learning that
she is currently fundraising
for the Miss Teen Canada
pageant sponsored charity, Free the Children, the
students brought in some
money to help her achieve
her goal and continue to
help others.
It was an honour
to have such a beautiful
young lady come in and
work with kids, stated
teacher, Mrs. Noonan-
Robinson. She really

touched the lives of our
Grade Three and Four NR
students. It was touching
and she truly is an awesome role model to children. She is an amazing
young lady.
Th e winner of Miss
Teen Canada will be announced in August in
Toronto and many Westman residents, including
students from TCS will be
cheering for Kaylyn.

Hart, Honky Tonk Man, Ted DiBiase, Sarita and others.
The diff erence here is that because these people know
me, I could call upon them for their assistance when
needed and theyd probably lend a hand. This list doesnt
even begin to approach friends in media, government or
economic development-related fields.
As we drive forward on growth, consider another
popular saying: It takes a community to raise a child.
If we can agree that this is true, how many people does
it take, in turn, to raise a community? Where we want
to go could be greatly infl uenced by social networking
to our shared benefit.Who knows you? The names may
not readily spring to mind, but consider this: even if
each of the 433 people who like and follow the Discover Minnedosa facebook page each have 150 contacts in
their network, thats potentially 65,000 people who know
us. This doesnt even touch on the personal and professional contacts we have that arent engaged on social media. Those numbers can start to add up quickly. Not bad
for a town of 2,500 is it?
Take stock of your contacts. Who knows you and
how might we be able to enlist their insight and expertise
with our ongoing projects locally? We may even find that
theres an opportunity to create a fruitful relationship
and expansion of our marketing efforts through their networks.
Manitobas Valley Paradise is created by its people
and we need to talk. You can find me under the Discover
Minnedosa banner on Main Street, reach me by e-mail at

up with the action on Facebook.

TRUSTED CONNECTED TARGETED
Yellowhead A Unique Area

Police Beat
By
Staff Sgt.
BOB CHABOT
odays topic has very

little to do with policing, other than my report
on the weekly activities.
As an Area Commander,
one of the responsibilities (or pleasures) I have
is to travel to each of our
detachments and conduct
inspections of the buildings, meet with the members, support staff and
members of the community etc. Although I dont
do it often enough it gets
me out of the office and on
the road.
Yellowhead Area is
unique in many ways, but
Yellowhead is the only
RCMP area that has four
detachments that report

to one Commander. We
have almost 10,000 square
kilometres to police. As a
member of the RCMP and
policing rural areas, has
its advantages compared
to municipal policing.
As I travelled around
these past few days I have
been amazed at the beauty of our landscape from
one end of our area to the
other. I have the pleasure
of seeing so many different birds, animals and
landscapes.
For example, the
herd of 10 elk with their
young that crossed the
road a few yards from my
truck; the cinnamon bear

that was eating grass in
the ditch to the pelicans
seemingly fl oating in the
air following the wind updrafts. Then there were
the Canada Geese in the
slough, one adult in front
and one in back of the line
of goslings; all perfectly
following each other as if
attached.
As I drove through the
valley south of Hamiota,
the scenery was spectacular; the greens of fields
in their different hues;
and the beauty of the valley in Elpinstone, to the
rolling hills all the way to
Wasagaming with beautiful Clear Lake.
I dont know if the
police offi cers in the big
city landscapes get to view
that as part of their duties
but it is definitely a bonus
as a rural police offi
cer.
Sometimes we need to
take that short moment to
enjoy these gifts. I know I
have, and its almost like a

rest within a days work, it
still amazes me.
There were 107 calls
for service this past week.
It may seem that the call
volume is high but many
of these fi les were speeding files.
There was a rash of
break and enters in the
south portion of our area
with four break and enters
being reported in Hamiota. We are continuing to
investigate those events.
There were 36 speeding tickets issued. A majority of those were given
out by our partners in
Traffi c Services. We always appreciate their assistance in keeping our
roads safe.
Th e speeder of the
week goes to a 52-year-old
lady from the Swan River
area. She was doing 47
kilometres over the speed
limit. That comes with a
cost of $665.75.

eeding
an
extra
hand this summer?
Minnedosa residents and
local businesses should
look to take advantage of the
Manitoba Youth Job Centre
(MYJC) which offers free assistance in matching homeowners and local businesses
who want to hire a youth for
the summer. The MYJC can
help fill vacant positions, or
fi nd someone to help with
casual jobs.
Community members
are encouraged to fill out
a job order form for any
work that needs to be done
around the home, yard,
garage, etc. and the MYJC
will try to refer a qualified
student. The homeowner
always has the final hiring
decision. This program will
run in the community until
August 21st.
The MYJC is here for
the local youth and businesses in Minnedosa. Anyone between the ages of 12-
29 can register and then will

be referred for odd jobs in
businesses around the community. Along with matching businesses to potential
employees, the Centre also
off ers employment advice,
interview, resume, and cover letter preparation.
We also have the Odd
Job Squad where youth
12-16 can join and participate in events and casual
job orders. While school
is just about done for the
year, your local MYJC has
been open and running for
over a month. I have been
working hard, organizing
and planning events for
the students and youth in
Minnedosa and surrounding area. I am gearing up for
a busy summer, and I look
forward to helping out our
local youth make a profit
and gain valuable experience to take with them for
future opportunities.

Spreading The Message of Love, Equality and Acceptance

By DARRYL HOLYK
tatistics
from
the
World Health Organization indicate that approximately 1,050 million
people live with some
sort of a disability that is
about 15% of the Worlds
population. If everyone
with a disability gathered
together and formed their
own nation, it would be
the third largest nation in
the world, following China
and India. Many may not
realize it but people with
disabilities, still in this day
and age, are not always
treated fairly and equally.
A husband and wife team
from India, currently visiting Minnedosa have been
on a mission to change
how society views disabled people for 35 years.
Prabhu Rayan and his
wife Nancy are directors
for the International Fel-
lowship For The Handicapped. The couple arrived in Minnedosa on

June 11th and are currently staying with Murray and
Florence Carter. They are
in our community until
July 11th. This friendship
began back in 1990 when
Prabha and Murray met at
a conference. They have
stayed in touch over the
years and earlier this year,
the Carters invited the
Rayans to come to Manitoba and spend a month
with them. While here,
in addition to seeing the
sites, Prabhu and Nancy
are spreading the word
about their beliefs and
organization to bring a
better understanding and
more awareness to those
living with disabilities.
When Prabhu went
to Bombay a friend took
him to a slum (ghetto),

he saw the appalling conditions in the slums he

was heartbroken. While
we were walking through
the slums, Prabhu met a
blind man. Unlike others who simply passed
by this individual, Prabhu stopped and talked
to him. He learned that
throughout his whole life,
the man had been told he
was different, cursed and
even a sinner because of
his disability. This is when
Prabhu realized he needed to do something to
help and change peoples
attitudes of the disabled.
This event marked
the humble beginnings
of the Rayans 35 years of
missionary work breaking
down barriers and stigmas
society has had on the disabled and handicapped.
Their work started in India and has now reached
throughout 80 countries,
Canada is the 42nd country Prabhu and Nancy
have travelled to spread
their message.
We should treat
everyone as an equal
member of society, said
Prabhu. Dont look at
someones disability
look at them as a person,
added Nancy.
The couple explained
their approach to disabled
people they have encountered on their travels. We
go out in public and find
them. We make personal
contact and treat them as
equals, explained Nancy.
When we see a beggar on
the street we go and sit be-
side him on the pavement.

We touch him, smile at
him and make eye contact. They then feel the acceptance and love. They
are then invited to a common place to build fellowship and make friendships. Many times, this
sort of friendship is a major part of what is lacking
from a disabled persons
life. Prabhu and Nancy
explained that while peoples basic needs of food,
shelter and clothing may
be taken care of through
institutions, group homes
or rehabilitation centres,
many disabled people are
still lonely and lacking fellowship, love and friendship.
Change of attitude
can happen. Our aim is
an inclusive society where
everyone feels equal, said
Prabhu.
The couple shared
an example of a success
story which began with
a meeting they had with
a blind man begging for
money at a railway station
in Bombay. All he wanted
was a cup of tea so the
Rayans took him for a cup
of tea, sat down with him
and got to know him as a
friend. During the course
of this friendship, they
learned he was an orphan
and was illiterate but they
also learned that he was
a brilliant individual. He
wanted to learn more and
do something with his life.
They assisted him in getting education and he excelled in his class. With his

and got a job with the same
railway where he used to
beg for money. He went
on to get married and have
two children completely
turning his life around and
becoming a valuable part

of his community.
The Rayans message
of acceptance and equality is definitely a lesson
everyone can learn from.

Federal NDP Candidate Aims For Change
By DARRYL HOLYK
averne Lewycky, NDP

candidate for DauphinSwan River-Neepawa in
the Federal Election, was
in Minnedosa on Tuesday,
June 23rd. Before appearing before Town Council as
a delegation, Lewycky sat
down for a brief interview
at The Tribune.
No stranger to federal politics, 69-year-old
Lewycky represented the
Dauphin Electoral District
as Member of Parliament
from 1980 to 1984. I know
how the system works, said
Laverne. Many of the issues that got me elected in
1980 are still issues for me

today.
Laverne feels that under the current government, there is a lack of communication between local
issues and the Federal Government in Ottawa. He sees
that the Members of Parliament are coming back
to their constituents with
messages from the top level
of government and would
like to see this changed to
where the Members of Parliament are taking the messages from their local constituents back to Ottawa
and those local issues and
concerns get properly addressed.
Currently, its like a
one way street they are
the messengers coming
back here to us. I want to
see your issues and concerns being delivered and
represented in Ottawa,
explained Lewycky. There
are 36 municipalities, 16
First Nations and 24 what I
would call Metis communities. If I can make sure that
they are all represented
in Parliament, then that
would make a difference.
If successful in the
October Federal Election,
Laverne would elect one
of his staff members to be
dedicated to the Municipal
Aff airs portfolio. I really
believe in municipal gov-

ernment. I think municipalities are at the forefront

and they can have a greater
role with their Member of
Parliament, said Laverne.
If all 36 municipalities
have a concern with an issue like infrastructure, I
want to get a resolution
from each municipality
that I can bring to caucus,
to the House of Commons
during statement period
and to the Cabinet Minister
responsible to ensure that
concern is heard. That is a
lot stronger representation
than just me voicing it. If
I can show 36 resolutions
then you can see there truly
is a problem and this is a
concern.
Earlier this year, to
familiarize himself with the

wide array of issues facing
people in the DauphinSwan River-Neepawa area,
Laverne attended a number of Association of Manitoba Municipalities regional meetings as an observer.
Th ere are so many
municipal, provincial and
federal agreements in place
where all three levels of
government are involved
in making things happen,
said Laverne. There are a
lot of concerns with the various government cutbacks.
In the Canada Build project, why are two construction seasons lost? It was
announced two years ago.
How do communities like
Minnedosa benefit? Th ey
dont. There is lost opportunity and lapsed funding. All

it does is goes back into the
general treasury coffers. It
may look good and you can
say you have a balanced
budget but that doesnt
help infrastructure or look
ahead. The infrastructure is
so bad in many municipalities that even what they do
get is minimal.
Building up to the election, Lewycky is making his
rounds through the riding
connecting with the grassroots people who live, work
and play here. He is also
hoping to meet with all municipal councils to better
familiarize himself with the
local issues each is facing.

Strolling Along For Alzheimers

By DARRYL HOLYK
esidents of Minnedosa Personal Care Home

were out enjoying the hot sun on the afternoon
of Thursday, June 25th. Residents accompanied by
staff walked or rolled along as part of the 2015 Memory Walk for Alzheimers. Not only does the walk
bring public awareness to this disorder but also raises money for research and developments to improve
the lives of those living with Alzheimers Disease.
Currently, more than 20,000 Manitobans live
with Alzheimers with more than 4,500 new cases
being diagnosed in the last year alone. In Canada,
there are more than 747,000 Alzheimers patients and
the total number of people affected by this disease
worldwide is estimated at 35 million.
During their Th ursday afternoon Memory Walk,
the PCH group headed east along 3rd Avenue S.W.
from the Care Home to Main Street. After a short rest
in the shade at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Main
Street, they continued north on Main Street to 2nd
Avenue where they turned west toward the Castle
and then back to the PCH.

Cadurcis Honours Longtime Volunteer

By DARRYL HOLYK
here are very few people

who have remained at the
same job for 70 years. There
are even fewer people who
have undertaken the same
volunteer position for seven
decades. Earl Thompson is the
exception. During the service
at Cadurcis Church this past
Sunday, June 28th, the congregation honoured Earl and
thanked him for volunteering as the Cadurcis Cemetery
caretaker for over 70 years!
Earl started helping in the
cemetery in the late 1930s. In
those early years he assisted
with cutting the grass in the
cemetery which is located
northeast of the church. Earl
recalls cutting the grass in the
cemetery with a scythe in the
1940s. In those early years we
used a sickle and hand snips to
cut the grass. It wasnt too bad,
back then the cemetery was
only have the size it is today,

recalls Earl, adding that he was
happy to see the invention of
the motorized lawn mower
which made the job of cutting
the grass at the cemetery a lot
easier!
In about 1959, Earl extended his volunteer work with the
cemetery when he took over
the books, selling plots and assisting families with arrangements at the cemetery, from
the previous bookkeeper, Fred
Porter.
Earl continues to be
an ambassador for Cadurcis
Cemetery with his kind demeanor and caring approach,
stated Doug. He has assisted
families in times of sorrow
and helped others with their
fi nal resting place arrangements creating peace of mind
for them and then taking care
of their resting place after they
passed on.
Earlier this year, Earl de-
cided it was time to hand the

caretaking operations of the
cemetery over to someone
else. In true Earl fashion, to
ensure the board was not left
scrambling, he had someone
in mind to take over his job.
Lawrence Ruddick agreed to
take control of the reins from
this long time, hard working volunteer and is committed to caring for the Cadurcis
Cemetery to the same high
standards Earl has set for over
seven decades. Earl was also
quick to point out that his wife
Freda deserves recognition as
well for helping him out on
many occasions over the years.
Of course, Earl is not
about to just sit back and relax while someone else does
all the work. Just last week, he
was out at Cadurcis Cemetery
with his weed wacker doing
some trimming in preparation
for the lawn mower to show up
to complete the job!

Planning For Sports Dinner
Ag Report...
By ELMER KASKIW
bove normal temperatures and isolated

thundershowers allowed
for generally beneficial
growing conditions over
this past week.
Rainfall amounts were
extremely variable with
some areas receiving anywhere from 10 to 75 mm
with hail however much
of the region received little
in the way of measureable
precipitation.
Winter cereals are
now fully headed with fungicide applications now
complete. Fungicide applications in cereals have
now begun as the crop enters the reproductive stages of development.
Canola crops are
somewhat variable within
the region with non-reseeded canola unaffected
by frost now beginning to
bolt while reseeded canola
is now beginning to canopy. Some reseeded fi elds
that received extra tillage
are now in need of precipitation as germination has
been variable.
Field peas have begun

to fl ower and are receiving fungicide applications
for mycoshpaerella blight
control.
Soybeans continue to
respond well to the good
growing conditions and
are now in the second to
third trifoliate stage of development with weed control measures now complete in most fields.
The Fungicide Dilemma
Each and every year
producers can talk themselves out of a fungicide on
their cereals when the crop
is in the fl ag leaf stage of
development. The crop at
this point looks its best and
will often have little to no
visible leaf disease since
all the plants energy is being put into the growth of
the upper leaves and flag.
Once the crop goes
reproductive and initiates
heading this all changes.
All the energy is now diverted to the developing
head and the leaves will
then begin to succumb to
disease. This is when the
fungicide will kick in and

protect the leaves so the
head can fill properly. The
situation is somewhat different in canola in that
warm humid conditions
are necessary before the
disease sclerotinia can
develop. Therefore unlike
cereals where disease is a
certainty sclerotinia development in canola is much
more weather dependent.

Moments in Riding Mountain

Up Close and Personal
By KEN KINGDON
recently turned 50, and

as most people know,
odd things happen when a
man reaches a certain age.
My kids insist on calling
it a mid-life crisis, but Id
rather refer to it as a midlife revelation.
You
see,
I
suddenly realised that I
am mortal. Why, I bet I
only have 60 more years
left to explore nature. Well
maybe 50.
Either way, my
time left to do serious
research is getting limited.
Which means that I have
a lot of stuff to do over the
next few years.
For some strange
reason, one of the first
things that I thought about
following my birthday was
gophers. More specifically,
I was reading that male
gophers, more correctly
referred to as Richardson
ground squirrels, are
the first to come out of
hibernation in the spring.
In my world, seeing is
believing, so I decided
that I had to see things for
myself. Thus, earlier this
spring, I did a stakeout at
the local gopher colony.
It didnt take long to spot
a few early bird gophers,
feeding on the green grass
all around their mounds.
Luckily they do a lot of
standing up, nice and
tall, presumably watching
out for predators. Perfect
for me to use a spotting
scope to, ahem, give them
the once over. Except it
didnt work out. Evidently,
even with short grass,
and while the subject was
standing on a hummock,
its more difficult that you
can imagine to see certain
anatomical features.
The long and
short of it, so to speak, is
that I couldnt conclusively
tell
whether
I
was
watching males or females.
However, based on some
pretty specific secondary
characteristics, I came to
the conclusion that I was
indeed watching males.
One of the best of
these characteristics was
that there was a whole lot
of scratching going on.
Not that females dont

scratch, but I would say
that itching and scratching
of certain anatomical areas
is generally a male thing.
Then there was
the fighting. One gopher
would wander over toward
another one, often in a Im
not doing anything out
of the ordinary manner.
Suddenly, they would get
all
passive-aggressive,
striking
aggressive
postures, in what I assume
was a form of intimidation.
This was often followed by
some wrestling, and then
each gopher would go
back to minding their own
business.
At first I thought
that these encounters were
harmless. Then I noticed
that several of the gophers
had major wounds on
their backs, and on their
shoulder blades near their
necks. Several others had
blood on their snouts.
Evidently, these fights
arent as harmless as they
appear! In fact, according
to my resource, 45% of
males disappear during
or immediately after the
mating season, probably
dying
from
wounds
received during these
fights.
Why
all
this
fighting? Sex, of course.
The fighting is a response
to the mating season,
with males fighting for the
opportunity to mate with
the females that live in that
immediate denning area.
And with a ratio of three
females for every male, the
odds are good that you will
be doing some mating, if
you live, that is.
Interestingly,
once all these shenanigans
are over, its back down
into the den for the males.
Males spend more than
9 months of the year
underground, in semistates of hibernation. This
means that, besides the
fighting and the mating,
they also have to spend
the early season eating
as much as they can, and
storing all the food that
they will need for the rest
of the year.
Adult females are
only slightly more likely
to be seen out of the den,

spending only a month
more out of the ground
than the males. It doesnt
seem to be much of a life
(says the bureaucrat who
spends most of his time
sitting in an office). With
all the adults heading
underground before the
end of July, it means that
all those dead gophers you
see on the roads in August
are the young ones. Which
makes sense they are
mainly nave males, forced
out into the big wide world
in search of new territory.
Its a rough life, alright, so
maybe help a little gopher
out by trying to miss them
on the highway.
Nature notes: I
had a great time thinking
about
microclimates
this past May long
weekend, given the spring
snowstorm we enjoyed.
Microclimates are just that
small areas that have a
different climate than the
immediate surrounding
area.
On
the
long
weekend Monday, I was
out for a walk with the
dog. We crossed over into
a well-protected area, out
of the wind. It was also
bowl-shaped, so the sun
was beating down into
this little piece of paradise.
The birds must have liked
it too, as there were all
sorts of warblers, thrushes,
and sparrows hopping
amongst the grass, feasting
on seeds and insects
that had blown onto the
ground. The insects were
partially frozen still, and
therefore easy prey. There
wasnt much fighting
among the birds, and all
appeared to be finding
lots to eat. This little
oasis allowed the birds to
restock their fat reserves,
no doubt depleted from
the day before by the wind,
rain, and snow. Upon
leaving the area, the dog
and I were soon getting
blasted by the icy wind,
and needless to say there
werent any birds visible.
Obviously they were a lot
smarter than me.
