onday, February 8th was a career highlight for local Canada Post employee, Tricia Kingdon as she
stepped into her new role as Postmistress for the Minnedosa Post Office.
Born and raised in the Minnedosa area, Tricia began
her career with the local post office as a casual employee
in 2011, moving to part-time in 2012. Now, she will oversee the operations of one of the communitys most essential services in her newly appointed position as Postmistress. I am very excited and honoured to assume my
new role and look forward to serving our community for
years to come, Tricia commented.
Tricia and her husband Brad live on a farm near
Minnedosa and their boys attend school in Minnedosa. A
busy hockey mom, Tricia enjoys watching her two growing boys play hockey in the winter. In the summer, the
Kingdon family enjoys camping.
The Minnedosa Post Office has been without an
official Postmistress since Jean Olenick retired in June
2013 after 33 years of service with Canada Post. Congratulations Tricia on your new position.
Ski Valley is one of Minnedosas most popular winter attractions when it comes to
outdoor physical activity for family members of all ages.
By DARRYL HOLYK
uring the cold winter

months, many people will use the weather
as an excuse for their lack
of motivation for physical
activity. Its not too cold to
work out and stay fit. Even
if the cold winter winds
are howling through the
air, there are many options, both indoors and
out, for physical activity.
Here in our community, families have taken
advantage of our hills by
skiing or snowboarding
at Ski Valley or tobogganing down one of our
valleys many sled runs.
There are also opportunities for walking, jogging
or running, cross-country
skiing, snowshoeing or
skating. A number of great
indoor activities and programs are currently being
offered in our community
to increase physical activity during the chilly winter
months.

gym or workout area, use

still a number of ways you

The Hound of Baskervilles Entertains Packed House

By JEFF PEARSON
he Minnedosa Community
Conference
Centre was alive with
laughter and applause
on the evening of Friday,
February 5th for theatrical event The Hound of the
Baskervilles hosted by the
Minnedosa
Performing
Arts Expressions Concert
Series. Fridays presentation was the ninth stop in
a regional tour put on by
the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre that began
January 25th in Deloraine.
Th e classic crime
novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock
Holmes, his companion
Dr. Watson and their new
acquaintance Sir Henry
Baskerville was masterfully adapted into a theatrical suspense comedy by
famous playwrights Steven Canny and John Nicholson. The book was origi-
(L-R): Arne MacPherson playing the role of Sherlock, Aaron Pridham

playing the role of Sir Henry Baskerville and Toby Huges as Watson.
nally published in 1902
and tells the story of an
attempted murder amidst
the misty fogs on the
moors of Southwest Eng-
land searching for the elusive truth of a fearsome,

diabolical killer hound of
supernatural origin.
The Royal MTCs ren-
dition of Th e Hound of
Baskervilles was actionpacked and suspenseful, with catchy lines and
seamless set, costume
and hilarious character switches, which kept

the packed house roaring with laughter. Three
very funny and versatile
actors played the roll of
a dozen silly characters.
Arne MacPherson played
the role of the infamous
Sherlock Holmes as well
as the fi erce and exotic,
gibberish speaking woman, Cecil among others.
The main character Toby
Hughes played was Watson and Aaron Pridhams
main role was Sir Henry
Baskerville. The well-choreographed stage production combined amazing
sound, lighting and special effects that transported the captive audience
into a surreal setting with
every clever set change.
The entertaining evening ended with a standing ovation for the wildly
funny theatrical production. Many ticketholders in the audience com-
mented on how lucky

Minnedosa is to be able
to have events like this
come to our town. The
Minnedosa
Performing
Arts deserves a round of
applause for hosting quality family entertainment
through their Expressions
Series. Get your tickets

Skate the Lake...
Minnedosa Lake will be the place to be this coming weekend as our community hosts its 10th annual
Skate The Lake outdoor pond hockey tournament. A
full schedule of ice time is set in place with 20 mens
teams, six ladies teams and 17 youth teams registered.
The youth teams include players ranging in age from 5
to 18. Over the years, this amazing fundraiser has seen
tremendous growth from its first donation of $2,700
in 2007 to last years donation of a whopping $12,000.
Throughout its ten year run, Skate The Lake has given
back close to $60,000 to community projects. The fi rst
three years raised $8,700 for the community daycare
project with another $50,800 being donated toward
the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre in annual installments since 2010.
Wrong pool
It has been brought to our attention that the photo

used in last weeks article regarding the recent award
presented to Elkhorn Resort was a photo of the complexs old pool, not the recently opened new pool as
stated. Our apologies to the Elkhorn Resort and Conference Centre for this error. If you have not been up to
the Elkhorn to check out its brand new pool area, plan
a visit today! It is certainly worth checking out!

DARRYL A.HOLYK - PUBLISHER AND EDITOR
To Ruin A Country
Editors Note:
The following item appeared in the February
10th, 1966 edition of The Minnedosa Tribune . Written by an unknown source, many of the statements
still ring true today, fi fty years later. We reprint it
this week with the hope that it may serve as an eye
opener for some. I am sure we all know someone
or somebody who is an expert on how to ruin a
town or country. Read on, think about what you are
reading and enjoy! D.H.
1. Dont pay taxes. Let the other fellow pay his.
Vote against taxes then fuss because the streets are
not kept up.
2. Never attend any of the meetings called for the
good of your town. If you do, dont have anything to
say. Wait until you get outside and then cuss those
who made suggestions.
3. Take all your town will give you and dont give
anything in return. Write unsigned letters to the editor to your local paper demanding more for your tax
money.
4. Talk co-operation but dont do anything
for your town unless you get paid for it. And by all
means, refuse to serve on any committee unless you
can be chairman.
5. Never accept an offi
ce. Its easier to criticize
than to do things. Accuse anybody who serves in an
elected office of being a publicity seeker.
rates down, tell everybody that is what they are supposed to do. Dont ever thank them or the police offi cers for endangering their lives so that you might
have a safer town to live in. Demand special treatment and raise cain if anybody expects you to obey
traffic and parking laws.
8. Look at every proposition in a selfi
sh way. If
you are not the one who gets the most good out of it,
vote against it. Never consider what it will do for your
town as a whole.
9. Dont do anything for the youth of your town.
Criticize them as potential delinquents and keep
your feet on them. Encourage them to move away
from your town when they grow up.
10. If you have good leaders, dont follow them.
Take a jealous at attitude and talk down everything
they do.
11. Dont work on any volunteer committee.
Simply tell them you are too busy.
12. Dont say anything good about your town
and be the fi rst one to point out its shortcomings.
Pretend that if trouble comes your way it will be residents of some other town who will visit you if you are
ill; bring in the fire department if your home or business is burning; comfort you in the loss of a loved one
and stand back of you in times of disaster.
6. Dont do anything more than you have to.

When others willingly and selfl essly give their time
to make a better town, howl because your town is run
by a clique.
13. Dont support your local retail stores and

other industries. Claim the prices and services in
other towns are better. Claim that industry hurts
your town. But, if you need a donation, be sure to ask
your local stores and industries for it first. Always expect them to back you but never back them.
7. Dont back your fi

re department or police department. If the firemen work to bring the insurance
If these thirteen steps dont ruin your town and

country, it surely isnt your fault!

TRUSTED CONNECTED TARGETED
Facts vs. Feelings

Living in
Paradise
By
VERN MAY
EDO, Minnedosa & Area CDC
lberta country singer,

Aaron Lines captured
a sentiment that many of
us on the prairies can relate to: I can always find
peace of mind in the lights
of my hometown. For
many, especially those who
have spread their wings
to broaden their horizons
across the Province and
around the world, they still
hold a strong emotional attachment to their humble
prairie roots. I, myself am
among them.
During a twenty year
career which included
lengthy stays in the Maritimes, British Columbia
and Alberta, I can relate
directly to the comfort that
comes from returning back
to my rural home town and
seeing that very little has
changed. The landmarks
each hold a special memory of adventures from a
more innocent time and
overall the general look
of downtown appears the
same. I suspect that many
who were born, raised and
have remained in their
hometown for their whole
lives can appreciate that as
well.
However, it is also important to recognize that
while we will hold dear our
attachment to the scenes
of the past, we must also
embrace the future with a
measured balance of feelings and facts to make the
right decisions. Last week
on the pages of this publication, it was suggested by
Eldon Frost of the Ottawa

Valley that I am unaware of
the draw of historic buildings. Im not sure that this
remark could be further
from the truth.
Preserving a communitys heritage and identity
is one element that contributes to its unique profile.
As the former Chairperson
for the Hillcrest Museum in
Souris a majestic manor
that sits like a castle on the
banks of the Souris River, I
had the opportunity to be
involved fi rst hand in the
costly exercise of maintaining the viability of century
old stone buildings. Similarly, I have liaised with the
committed group in Rapid
City who are hard at work
to bring their former school
back to life as a vital hub of
their communitys activity.
There will be criticism
leveled at the proponents
for present re-development
of the Pearson block and
the difficult decisions that
need to be made now. But
we must also recognize that
there is a decade or more of
inaction which has contributed to the conclusion that
demolishing and replacing
the existing structure is the
most prudent course of action. I, myself, have marvelled at the formidable exterior of this building, but
when you venture behind
those stones, you are faced
with the real dilemma.
As a community, are
the needs of our residents
best served by seeing an
uninhabitable building remain as a stirring memorial to our generations past?

Yes, thats great for those
who drop in to take a walk
down memory lane. But
for those of us that live here
and are invested here, what
we need most is to ensure
that business and industry
can thrive -- which creates jobs, which spurs immigration, which supports
schools and services and
ensures that there is a town
to surround those stately
monuments of our history. Otherwise, like many
farming towns before us,
we face the reality of vacant
buildings, empty streets
and eventually just a lone
roadside marker which celebrates what used to be a
thriving town.
But if were invested in
this issue if this is truly a
concern for the members
of our taxpaying public,
then let us assess where
the money should come
from to restore these buildings. That $2 Million dollar
investment must be borne
by the 2,500 people who
are already paying taxes to
support community infrastructure, recreation and
commerce. Behind the priorities of essential maintenance and replacement of
infrastructure, the development of a new clinic to attract doctors and support
for existing recreation and

heritage properties where
would this priority fall?
And perhaps more importantly what would be the
timeline?
Am I aware of the appeal of historic architecture? Certainly. Can I appreciate the craftsmanship
of that era of construction?
Absolutely. Can I identify
the dollars and cents value
that holding onto that sentimental remnant offers
to our residents weighed
against the opportunity for
local business investment
and expansion? No I cant.
But I do welcome Mr.
Frost to visit and I would
gladly escort him on the
walking tour of our communitys historic stone
buildings, to share the efforts being made to maintain and restore a wide
scope of other important
artifacts and community
amenities that speak to
the days of his youth in the
community. Share with me
your feelings, and Ill gladly
discuss facts.

to the third century and is
named after the Christian
martyr, Saint Valentine of
Rome.
Th ere are many different legends about the
origin of the popular romantic holiday, but probably the most popular
one stems from a priest
named Valentine, who
served his parish during
the third century in Rome.
When Emperor Claudius
II decided that single men
made better soldiers than
those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage
for young men. Mr. Valentine, realizing the injustice
of such a decree, defied
the Emperor and continued to perform marriages
for young lovers in secret.
When the radical Emperor, Claudius, discov-

ered Valentines defiance
he immediately ordered
that the priest be executed. While in confinement
waiting for his death, Valentine fell in love with the
Emperors young daughter who would visit him
regularly. Just before his
death it is alleged that the
romantic Valentine wrote
his mistress a letter concerning his feelings for her
and signed it From your
Valentine, a popular expression that is still used
to this very day.

ciated with romantic love

in 18th-century England
when lovers expressed
their affection for one another by presenting flowers, offering confectionery
and sending hand written
greeting cards, known as
Valentines.
Since the 19th century handwritten cards
have given way to massproduced greeting cards,
which are still a popular personalized expression for some. In todays
world of social media,
Valentines romantic desires can be copy/pasted
and instantly messaged to
many potential lovers all
over the world with just
the touch of a finger.

Minnedosas Annual Christmas Bird Count

By ERICA ALEX
Photo submitted
This Spotted Towhee was photographed

near Bethany during the annual
Christmas Bird Count.
n Monday, December
28th, 2015 Minnedosa
held its annual Christmas
Bird Count. Eleven field
participants and six feeder
watchers braved the biting east wind and managed to fi nd a total of two
thousand seven hundred
and sixty eight individuals
identified and counted. Of
these individuals came 25
different species.
Bald Eagles made sure
they were counted, with
at least three individuals
found lazily navigating the
circle. These iconic birds
have made an incredible
comeback since their near
extinction due to DDT
many years ago. Great
Horned Owls made it to the
list with two individuals
found at opposite ends of
the circle. A single Barred

Owl graced the list, just
barely making count week
(three days on either side
of count day) Black-capped
Chickadees were as usual
found in large numbers
with about two hundred
individuals counted. Another chickadee also made
it to our list. Four Boreal
Chickadees were counted at Erica Alexs feeder,
just south of town. These
chickadees are mostly
found in thick Boreal forest, such as Riding Mountain National Park so they
were a nice bird to add to
the list. The best bird of the
day however was a Spotted Towhee found at Blake
Huttons feeder near Bethany. These birds are members of the sparrow family
and are usually found in
the western states. Other
highlights of the sparrow

family was a Song Sparrow
at Delgatys and a Whitethroated sparrow found
on count week. Common
Redpolls were around in
good numbers with six
hundred and eighty four
birds found. These fi nches
are an irruptive species,
meaning their numbers
are irregular and erratic
from year to year, so it was
nice to see them in such
great numbers. The Hoary
Redpoll, a much more
uncommon cousin of the
Common Redpoll was also
recorded with six individuals found. Pine Grosbeaks
which are also an irruptive
species clocked in at one
hundred and seven birds
found. A single Red Crossbill showed up a day late
for count day, still however
managing to make it for
count week. Of course, the

House Sparrow took top
spot on the count with 891
individuals recorded.
The list of fi eld participants was made up of Marg
Yorke and Millie Reid, Erica Alex, Linda Boys, Cal
Cuthbert, Richard Brugger,
Buzz Crowston, Louanne
Reid, Colin and Scott
Blyth, and Ian Thorleifson.
Feeder watchers included
Karen Dowsett, Rick Robinson, Linda Boyd, Lyle
Madill, and Blake Hutton.
Th e Christmas Bird
Count is completely volunteer based and we need all
the help we can get. If you
are interested in participating in next years count
please to not hesitate to
call Erica Alex at 204-8672483 or contact her by

Get Outdoors and Get Active

Continued from Page 1
The Heart and Stroke
Foundation shares some
important tips to remember when outdoors this
winter. First of all, insulate
your body. The best approach to dressing for outdoor activity is with layers.
Layering provides the most
effective way to stay warm

and dry. This also allows
you to remove the top layer
if you get too hot. The layer
closest to your skin should
allow moisture to be wicked away. Consider garments made from materials such as polypropylene.
Avoid cotton as a first layer
because once it gets wet, it

tends to stay wet. The top

layer should be both windand water-resistant.
While you may be
tempted to immediately
remove layers when you go
back inside, give your body
time to adjust. If you are
not wet, it is recommended that you wait 10 to 15
minutes before changing
into other clothes. If you
lose heat from your body
too quickly, you may experience post-exercise hypothermia, which is a result
of the body reducing its
production of heat while
rapidly losing its existing
heat stores.
Another
important
factor to remember is to
stay hydrated when active
in winter, even though you
might not feel as thirsty.
Drink water before, during
and after a workout.
If possible, its best to
be active outdoors while it
is still light out. But shorter
days may make that difficult to do. If you choose to
work out while its dark, try
to wear reflective materials
on your clothing to ensure
your safety.
Dont be a couch potato this winter, get up and
get active. Physical activity
is not just a summer pleasure, theres a lot that can
be done in winter too.
Fundraising Effort Will Be Colourful

By VERN MAY
innedosa will add

even more colour to
its summer schedule this
year with the announcement that it will be hosting
its first ever colour run on
Saturday, August 13th.
The event is being
presented collaboratively
by the local Rotary Club,
Lions Club, Kinettes and
Beach
Enhancement
Committee. In addition
to creating a new event
on the summer schedule
intended for the participation of the whole family,
proceeds of the event will
be split among the presenting organizations to
support Minnedosa area
projects and causes.
Among the local initiatives that are being discussed to benefit from the
events proceeds include

the proposed replacement
of the play structure at the
beach, as well as contributions to the upcoming
Minnedosa Primary Care
Centre which is intended
to begin construction later
this year.
Colour runs are becoming
increasingly
popular each year with
similar events attracting
thousands of participants
of all ages and fitness levels participating.
This
fi ve kilometre fun run
will start at the Rockin
the Fields site and wind
through a course along
the scenic eastern shore
of Minnedosa Lake. The
added feature to the run
is that at various intervals
along the course, runners
will be blasted with paint
cannons.

Advance registration
for the event will be coordinated through the
Minnedosa and District
Recreation office with
the fi rst opportunity to
sign up taking place at
the Spring Registration
sign up night at Tanners
Crossing School. Pricing
has been structured with
aff ordability for families
in mind including family
group pricing for clans of
four.
One unique change
for this fundraiser from
many in the community is
that no commercial sponsorship will be sought out
from our local merchants.
Th e organizing committee has, however, identifi ed that they will be urging businesses to register
a team to represent their
business at the event and
participate in the run.
A Facebook page has
been set up for information about the event and
access to the organizers
for those who would like
to sign up to participate or
who are interested to volunteer for this new single
day event which will create a splash this summer.

Knives In The Kitchen Cutting Boards

Cooking
With
CHEF DEZ
s part two of a series of

three columns on cutting, this one will focus on
cutting boards. The next
column will focus on cutting techniques.
Almost every household has some type of cutting board to offer a place
for chopping or slicing
in order to protect their
kitchen counter tops. With
so many to choose from,
hopefully I can help shed
some light on this subject by discussing the pros
and cons of the three main
types of cutting boards
available: glass, plastic and
wood.
One of my biggest pet
peeves is a glass cutting
board, and I take every opportunity to advise anyone
I can of the reasons. Tempered glass cutting boards
are made to offer a surface
that is easily sanitized by
hand or by putting them
in the dishwasher and offer a surface that will never
deteriorate. However, because this cutting surface
is so hard, it will dull even
the highest quality kitchen
knife faster than any other
cutting board. They usually depict an attractive

photo or print under the

surface of the glass which
makes them desirable to
have out and ready to use,
but I would highly recommend using them only as
a serving platter and nothing else.
Plastic cutting boards
on the other hand offer a
softer surface that wont
damage knives and can
still be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning. The
plastic surface can also
be subjected to sanitizing
cleansers like bleach, without damaging the board itself. However, recent studies have revealed that over
time bacteria can build up
in the scores from knives
on the surface, that even
sanitizing will not remove
completely. When deep
scores have been made in
a cutting board, it is recommended to reface the
board. Plastic boards are
very difficult to resurface,
and it is much easier to
purchase a new one.
Wooden cutting
boards have been thought
of as surfaces that hold

bacteria, and many households have switched to

plastic for this very reason,
but wood offers natural
anti-septic qualities. The
wood also can naturally
reseal small scores from
cutting. A food grade mineral oil should be used on
a regular basis to help stop
the wood from drying out
and cracking.
I prefer to use plastic
cutting boards for meat
or seafood. This way I can
sanitize them in the dishwasher, until they get well
used that is. Wooden cutting boards offer a cutting
surface for all other applications such as fruits, vegetables, etc. I do not own a
glass cutting board.
The most unique cutting surface I have ever
used is a phone book. I was
invited to a guys night
poker party at a bachelors apartment and it
turned into an impromptu
cooking demonstration.
His kitchen was not well
equipped, so we sanitized
the outside of his Yellow Pages and used it as a
cutting board! While this
might be an amusing story, I strongly advise against
this practice.
Dear Chef Dez,
Can you suggest a natural cleanser for cleaning
cutting boards? Diane
Dear Diane,
I often sprinkle a cutting board liberally with
salt and rub the surface
with the cut sides of a
halved lemon. The salt
acts as an abrasive, and
the lemon not only offers
a natural acid, but a fresh
clean scent as well.

Belated birthday wishes to Bill Sawchuk who celebrated his 90th birthday
on January 16th in Winnipeg. Bill was the second oldest of the Pete and
Mary Sowchuk (Sawchuk)
family and took his schooling in Newdale. The family
farmed in the valley north
of Newdale until retiring to
town in 1952. The bridge
in the valley is still known
as Sawchuk Bridge.
We send our sympathy to Irene Creber and her
family on the recent passing of her brother Mervin
Green, of Saskatoon, SK.
Irene was able to visit him
in January and help him
celebrate his 84th birthday.
Wed like to send best
wishes to Wendy Roses
Mother, Ethel Fortune of
Rivers, who underwent
surgery in Brandon a week
ago and to Wendys Aunt

Mildred Shaw who also
had surgery in Hamiota.
Newdale friends wish both
these ladies continuing
good health.
Terry Baker provided
the service at Church last
Sunday, its always a pleasure to hear Terrys message of hope for our daily
lives. Terrys wife, Donna,
provided inspiration with
her solo called Take It To

I own two very furry
cats. I always put the toilet
seat down when the toilet is not in use but when
I lift up the seat it is covered with fur. Seems like
fur is attracted to the seat,
any tips for how to stop the
mess? Nadine
Dear Nadine,
Wipe the toilet seat
with a fabric softener
sheet, the fur will not be attracted to the area. You can
also wipe the outer portion of the toilet with either
liquid fabric softener (and
rinse) or white vinegar, to
deter fur cling.
Hi Reena,
I know that you are a
big fan of baking soda; I
have another use for bak-
ing soda. I use it to cure

my hiccups, but the taste
isnt to my liking. Do you
have any other suggestions
for curing hiccups? Arden
Dear Arden,
Baking soda is one
of those underappreciated products that I lovingly refer to as a Household Superstar! It helps
deodorize, unclog drains,
remove stains, cure bad
breath and the list goes on
and on. However, when it
comes to curing hiccups
my favourite solution is
water (although 1 tsp. of
peanut butter or Nutella
chocolate spread are also
fast and eff ective but the
hiccups tend to return). I
received this tip from a retired school teacher and it
works great! Using your
hands, plug your ears and

nose. Have someone hold
a cup of water to your
mouth. Take 12 sips of water and the hiccups will often vanish!
Dear Reena,
What are the steps required to remove white
water marks on an antique wooden night stand?
Christina
Dear Christina,
Since the table is an
antique the water may
have stripped the finish of
the table. If this is the case,
you will need to refinish
the surface of the table. But
first, place a tea towel onto
the area and press the mark
with a warm iron. Observe
whether the stain is gone.
Next smear mayonnaise
over the spot, leave for one
hour and wipe. If the stain
remains, sand and refinish
the table.
Dear Reena,
I contacted you a
while back about a bad
odour in our fridge as the
result of a meat spill. You

Unique Household Idea
I like to use small jars,
preferably plastic ones,
to store small items in
the shop. Peanut butter
jars are ideal, but they often have a stubborn label
glued onto the jar. Soaking
in soapy dish water doesnt
always work, but this usually does: carefully fill the
jar with almost-boiling water from the kettle (tap water is not hot enough); let it
sit for a few minutes, and
then slowly peel the label
off . With this method, all
the glue usually stays with
the label, and theres no
additional effort required
to get the glue off of the jar.
Works for me! Dave

ILA GERTRUDE MCNABB

(CHISHOLM)
NOVEMBER 20TH, 1928
FEBRUARY 4TH, 2016
Ila McNabb passed away
with her family by her side at
the Minnedosa Personal Care
Home.
Ila, the younger daughter
of Ralph and Hazel Chisholm,
was born at home in Brookdale, Manitoba.
After High School graduation, Ila continued her education in 1946-47 at the Normal
School Tuxedo site in Winnipeg
and came to Basswood in the fall of
1949 after two years of teaching in a tiny one-room school near
Neepawa.
It was during her time at Basswood that she met a young
farmer by the name of Alex. Alex and Ila were married July
4th, 1952 and built a new home on the farm near Basswood. Two children were born to Alex and Ila; a daughter, Maureen, in April 1956 and a son, Maxwell, in September 1957 and the farm became a third generation farm.
From 1958 to 1975, Ila was affiliated with the Minnedosa school
system and July 2nd, 1975 found her beginning a whole new adventure at the newly opened Minnedosa Care Home. This new
adventure was as receptionist/ward clerk. In 1980-81 she greatly enjoyed editing the Family History section of Minnedosas
Centennial project the publishing of Minnedosa Valley Views.
Retiring in July 1990, Ila and Alex bought a travel van
and prepared to see the North American continent. They
explored from Tuktoyatuk (stood in the Beaufort Sea)
to the Mexican border, and from Tofina, Vancouver Island (whale watching in the Pacific Ocean) to the eastern
points of Newfoundland. In earlier years they had a holiday in Hawaii and cruised the islands of the Caribbean Sea.
Ila was pre-deceased by her husband Alex in 2007. Ila is
lovingly remembered by her children Maureen DeBackere
(Darwin) and son Maxwell McNabb, grandchildren Melissa DeBackere (Lorne) and Megan DeBackere (Nicholas). She is also
survived by sister Audrey Briese and sister-in-law Donna MacDonald as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins both
near and far.
The family wishes to extend special thanks to Dr. Owojori, Dr. Onyshko and all the staff at the Minnedosa Personal Care Home for their EXCEPTIONAL care. Our sincere appreciation to Nathan and his staff at Minnedosa
Funeral Home for their guidance and professionalism.
Donations in Ilas memory may be made to the Minnedosa
Personal Care Home Patio Fund.
A family graveside service will take place at a later date.

GAIL DIANE LAFERRIERE

(nee COXE)
SEPTEMBER 12TH, 1945
FEBRUARY 4TH, 2016
With sadness we announce
the passing of Gail Diane
Laferriere (nee Coxe) at the
Brandon Regional Health
Centre at 70 years of age. Gail
was born in Minnedosa, MB
to Aylsworth and Dorothy
Coxe. Remaining to cherish
the memory of Gail are her loving husband of 49 years, Claude;
children Pam Phillips (Murray)
and Wanda Borschawa (Peter);
grandchildren Lance (Jas), Ryan (Elena), Dustin and Shelby; siblings Ray, Yvonne (Shaw), Norinne
(Young), and Clare (Donna) and numerous extended family.
Gail grew up on the family farm and went to elementary school
at Roseneath in the RM of Odanah, graduating from Minnedosa
Collegiate. After graduation she attended the Manitoba Vocational Center in Brandon, Manitoba and then worked in a bank
in Winnipeg until she married Claude, October 15th, 1966.
Together they farmed in the Roseneath District until their retirement in 2001. Gail was very active in the farming operation,
running equipment, gardening, and working with the animals.
They continued to live in the farmyard until 2015. The lights of
her life, Pam and Wanda were born while on the farm. She ensured that they were ready to face the world by modeling how
to run a house, work hard, and love their husbands. After the
girls were grown she celebrated their marriages and the births
of their children. She adored each of the grandchildren, celebrated their accomplishments, and encouraged them to always do their best. Even when spoiling them she still required
accountability. She always wanted to know what and how they
were doing. She enjoyed having the grandchildren come to stay,
even being known to ask when the parents were leaving them.
Gail enjoyed sports especially curling and ball; music, 4-H,
and singing in the choir for special events. Gail and Claude became snowbirds and spent many winters in Florida where they
made many lifelong friends. In their retirement years she took
up shuffleboard, winning many tournaments and representing
Manitoba at the Canadian Senior Games, and Canada in the
World Senior Games. Gail was a community girl who pitched in
for all events. She was always willing to lend a hand to anyone
and saw the potential in everyone. She was predeceased by her
parents Aylsworth and Dorothy (nee Neabel) Coxe. A Celebration of Gails life took place at Memories Chapel, Brandon, MB
on Thursday, February 11th, 2016 with Pastor Gary Jennings
officiating. Interment followed at the Brandon Cemetery. Donations in memory of Gail may be made to a charity of choice.
Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.memorieschapel.com. Arrangements with Memories Chapel, Brandon, MB

daughter, Beth-Ann.
